Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the infamous “Maryland Man” of media renown (who is actually an illegal immigrant and accused MS-13 gang member from El Salvador with no legal right to be in the United States) was the subject of yet another story on National Public Radio.
The online version of the radio report by Eric Westervelt and Joel Rose for NPR’s All Things Considered Wednesday added some more sympathetic details to the Maryland man’s media mythos — he’s just a quiet family man!
Ontario man in custody on allegations he tried to join terror group: RCMP
A 32-year-old Ontario man has been arrested under the terrorism peace bond provisions of the Criminal Code after allegedly trying to leave Canada to join a terrorist organization, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The arrest was made by the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.
Joe Biden’s appearance at Pope Francis’s funeral on Saturday caused as a stir as the 82-year-old former president showed significant signs of physical deterioration, even requiring significant assistance just to navigate a short flight of stairs at the Vatican.
Looking to Europe for our defence needs would not be in Canada’s best interests
The Peace Arch Border Crossing — which connects the cities of Blaine, Wash., and Surrey, B.C. — bears the words of Psalm 133: “Brethren dwelling together in unity.” While this biblical inscription testifies to the close relationship the two countries maintained for decades, the feeling in Canada today is that the brotherly relationship has become more reminiscent of the fratricidal kinship of Abel and Cain.
Doesn’t make a lot of sense to wed ourselves to nation’s whose armed forces are as inadequate as our own.
Self-proclaimed Hamas operative in US Air Force indicted over pipe bomb plot
A self-described Hamas operative who infiltrated the US Air Force and once boasted that he’s “been a terrorist since he’s been a kid” was hit with additional charges this week alongside two Pittsburgh women after the feds foiled an apparent terror plot involving a pair of pipe bombs.
Mohamad Hamad, 23, who has dual citizenship in the US and Lebanon, was already charged for defacing a synagogue was hit Tuesday with a nine-count superseding indictment along with Talya Lubit, 24, and Micaiah Collins, 22.

He dominated Canadian politics for a decade. But almost nothing has been seen or heard of Justin Trudeau since he stepped down as prime minister last month.
His Liberal Party, with a new leader, has the advantage as the country heads into a general election on Monday.
Just so long as it can avoid reminding people of the scandals and missteps that eventually ended his political career.
Think your quality of life has declined since 2015?
Data suggests you’re right.
In 2015, Canada ranked 9th for quality of life — considering factors like cost of living, climate, access to home ownership, and more.
Today, it barely holds onto a spot in the top 30. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/hh8xj0m5gh

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty recently gained notoriety for not prosecuting a Minnesota government employee for committing a series of felonies for keying Teslas. It was a travesty, one made even more blatant by the fact that her office is prosecuting a woman for causing much less damage, vandalizing one car instead of six Teslas.
Welcome to Canada.
At a rally in London, Ontario, on Friday, the crowd booed as Mark Carney delivered his core campaign line about the existential threat Canada faces from its neighbour.
“President Trump is trying to break us so that America could own us,” the Liberal leader warned.
“Never,” supporters shouted back. Many waved Canadian flags taped to ice hockey sticks.
Similar levels of passion were also on display at the union hall where Pierre Poilievre greeted enthusiastic supporters in the Toronto area earlier in the week.
A miniature dachshund has been found alive and well after spending more than 500 days in the Australian wilderness.
Kangala Wildlife Rescue said it had been working “around the clock” to find the dog, Valerie, on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of Australia. She was last seen by her owners on a camping trip in November 2023.
Georgia Gardner and her boyfriend, Joshua Fishlock, had momentarily left Valerie in a playpen at their campsite while the couple went fishing. When they returned, she was gone.
How?
After nearly a decade of Liberal government, we are watching history repeat itself. Synagogues are being burned, schools shot at, businesses attacked, and hatred paraded openly through our streets. These are not isolated incidents — they are warnings. And ignoring them now would be a deadly mistake.
This election is not just political. For Jewish Canadians, it is existential. Our future in this country hinges on choosing leadership willing to act decisively against rising hate.
A passionate argument but not a universally accepted viewpoint.
ANALYSIS: Are Canadian Jews really moving to the Conservatives?
There isn’t much evidence for the supposed rightward shift among Jewish voters — or for its impact
And …
I’m a Jewish Canadian, and I won’t be voting for Pierre Poilievre
Commentators in the mainstream media have suggested that most Jews voting for the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre are doing so largely on the basis of the party’s policies on antisemitism and Israel. The CBC’s flagship news program, The National, carried perhaps the definitive take on this theme earlier this week.
I believe it is too late in the game. The Canadian state and its political class have chosen a side and it isn’t Israel’s.
Our elites are guilty of importing a violent incompatible culture – Islam. They know it.
And now they cultivate the Muslim vote to save their skins.
PS. Jews voting Liberal remind me of the commies who refused to believe Stalin was a mass murdering lunatic despite Khrushchev’s denunciation.
Caught in the middle of the U.S.-China trade war is a Chiclet-size magnet that is vital to every new electric vehicle on the road.
The magnet is made with dysprosium. Atomic number 66. A rare-earth mineral with a silver metallic luster. More than 90% of refined dysprosium comes from China, and it is used in magnets that power everything from medical equipment to EV motors.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney urged Israel to allow the World Food Programme to work in Gaza, saying food must not be used as a “political tool,” hours after the UN agency ran out of stocks due to a sustained Israeli blockade on supplies.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it had delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens providing hot meals in Gaza and that the facilities were expected to run out of food in the coming days.
This says Muslims will control our streets in the Carney era.
President Trump has held an extraordinary one-to-one meeting with President Zelensky on the fringes of the Pope’s funeral before accusing President Putin of stringing him along over ending the war in Ukraine.
A Ukraine-Russia peace deal appeared to be inching closer after the intense exchanges in St Peter’s Basilica. Zelensky said that their 15-minute conversation had the “potential to become historic”, while the White House described it as “a very productive discussion”.
To keep Canada off Trump’s authoritarian path, we must reject pronatalism and protect women’s rights
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s recent talking point commiserating with couples in their late 30s whose fertility window is closing and who can’t afford to start families touched a nerve. While it’s true that some couples are starting families later or having fewer children, and Canada’s fertility rate is declining, Poilievre’s rhetoric about women’s biological clocks running out is offensive. Liberals and the NDP rightly condemned it.
While he meant to sound sympathetic, Poilievre calling women’s wombs into service as a means towards political ends should be seen for what it is: Canada’s own brand of pronatalism — societal and institutional pressures on women (mostly from men) to have children. It mirrors U.S President Donald Trump, the self-professed “fertilization president” who uses pronatalism as a cover for rolling back reproductive rights and gender equality.
