Border Crossings Grind to Halt as Trump’s Tough Policies Take Hold

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico— In this border city, large groups of migrants marching toward the U.S. have all but halted. Migrant encampments are disappearing, and few people are trying to sneak across remote desert areas to start new lives in the U.S.

“The door is closed,” said Yorman Briceño, a Venezuelan migrant staying at a church-run shelter in Ciudad Juárez, just across from the border from El Paso, Texas.

He had been waiting about six months for his Jan. 23 appointment to request asylum in the U.S. under a Biden-era program, until it was scrapped by President Trump on Jan. 20. Now, after watching how others have been rounded up in immigration sweeps and extradited by the U.S. to a notorious prison in El Salvador, he said he wasn’t even sure he wanted to go anymore.

The vegan trans ‘death cult’ turning geniuses into accused killers

Curt Lind didn’t know it, but he was already dead.

The 82-year-old was ambushed by a hooded figure lying in wait outside his trailer park who repeatedly slashed his throat, CCTV footage seen by The Telegraph reveals.

Amazingly, Lind remained on his feet as his assailant fled. The collar of his jacket, which had been torn off during the frenzied knife attack and trailed limply from his hand, was visibly soaked through with blood.

WAPO invites you to meet the Conservative populist looking to unseat Canada’s Liberals

TORONTO — On a bright early spring evening, a queue of Canadian rallygoers snaked through a hotel lobby and around the block. Some had waited in the cold for an hour. Cars jammed roads and parking lots. So many people had shown up that the venue could not accommodate them all.

Inside the hotel ballroom, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre served up a polished 35-minute set of the classics, kicking off his bid for prime minister. He assailed a “radical, borderless, globalist ideology” and “net-zero environmental extremism.” He promised a “big, patriotic, bold and beautiful” tax cut and to stop “crime, chaos and disorder.”

Banks and business are talking sense on climate at last. But it must not be just talk

Coal in Carney’s China

The Davos elites must not be permitted to shift from green-washing to ‘green-hushing’

After years of bragging about their climate policies, multinational businesses and international organisations are now going silent about their sustainability goals. They are no longer green-washing but “green-hushing”. Yet, green targets are bad for business and a terrible way to help the world. These actors shouldn’t just be quieter about them. They should stop this waste.

Perhaps the most blatantly self-defeating attempt to go green was by the fossil fuel industry. Back in 2020, BP made the extraordinary promise to slash oil and gas production by 40 per cent by 2030, boost renewable energy generation twentyfold, and even become a net-zero energy company. Since then, it has performed the worst among big oil, and two CEOs later, BP has now abandoned its green promises and recommitted to fossil fuel. Other big western oil companies are also returning to their roots – while state-owned oil giants like Saudi Aramco, Sinopec, Petrobras and Rosneft never made dramatic green promises in the first place.

Why are Europeans so untroubled by their ignorance of America?

Americans are infamous on the eastern side of the Atlantic for knowing little or nothing about European culture, history and politics – and for being proud of the fact, as Richard Hofstadter, the late Columbia historian, described in them in Anti-intellectualism in American Life, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1964.

Much less widely recognized is how little Europeans know about America, Americans and their own civilization – an ignorance that troubles them not at all, perhaps because they seem to be unaware of the fact.

KLEIN: Beware: The next Liberal tax may be on the roof over your head

There’s a hard truth that Canadians need to wake up to, especially homeowners: The government is broke.

The numbers don’t lie. Federal debt has more than doubled since 2015, climbing past $1.2 trillion. Interest payments on that debt are now larger than what Ottawa spends on health care transfers to the provinces. They’ve run out of room to borrow without consequences. They’ve run out of excuses, and now, they’re running out of people to tax — except you.

If you own a home, particularly if it’s paid off, congratulations. You’re about to become the government’s next target.

Interesting that the people most likely to vote for Carney are home owners hoping to protect their equity by continuing the housing shortage caused by Liberal party mass immigration policy.

And now they find that their hard won gains may be stolen by their savior Carney.

As they say: Be careful what you wish for.

We’re in a golden age of space discovery — are we about to find ET?

It was an excited crowd that filled a lecture hall at Cambridge University’s Institute of Astronomy on Thursday afternoon. There were seasoned professors, gaggles of graduate students and studious researchers. Even the astronomer royal, Lord Rees of Ludlow, had come along to the hastily arranged seminar.

They were there to see Dr Nikku Madhusudhan, professor of astrophysics and exoplanetary science, discuss an astounding finding.

Madhusudhan and his team believed they had established the strongest evidence yet that life exists on another planet. Newspapers around the world that morning carried his claim that a watery planet called K2-18b — roughly 124 light years from Earth — may be “teeming” with algae-like organisms. The 100-strong audience was “even more excited than I am”, says Madhusudhan.

Tolkien’s Eucatastrophe and Easter

Many years ago, during a late-night walk through Oxford’s beautiful Botanical Gardens, two men discussed whether the life and death of Christ was a fairy story. Both men agreed that indeed it was: one man, an atheist literature professor, averred that the life and death of Christ was no more than a fairy story, but the other, a Catholic philologist, argued that it was the one true fairy story, of which all other fairy stories were but pale shadows. The latter argument, proffered by J.R.R. Tolkien, won the day, and C.S. Lewis converted to Christianity.

Bloc calls for crackdown on religious hate speech after Montreal imam prays to ‘slay’ Jews … Liberal vote hardest hit

Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-François Blanchet is calling on Parliament to close what he describes as a dangerous loophole in the Criminal Code that allows hate speech to hide behind religious teachings, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Speaking with reporters, Blanchet said it’s time for Canada to remove any legal protections for hate-filled speech, even when it’s presented in a religious context. “If a believer of any religion whatsoever uses religion to support hate, to support radicalization of our youth, I believe this is a crime,” he said. “It has to be punished as a crime in whatever language or whatever religion.”

Canada does not monitor what goes on inside the Muslim cult’s dens.

But every once in a while the cultists make their murderous intent public.

J.D. Tuccille: Canada, a shining example to the world of how to kill prosperity

Among U.S. states, New Mexico is the only one to end the last four decades less economically free than it began, finds a recent report. Even worse, binding its residents in red tape and smothering them in government leaves its residents poorer. Sadly, even as a laggard that’s moving in the wrong direction on economic freedom, New Mexico still allows its residents more leeway when it comes to business, money, and property than all but two Canadian provinces. And its people, while poor relative to many Americans, are more prosperous than the residents of most Canadian provinces.

Carney will be Justin but worse.

Nazi panzer bunnies are not Germany’s biggest issue right now

It is hard to imagine anything weirder or, for that matter, more German than the Nazi-era Easter sugar bunnies riding tanks that have caused such a stir in Tübingen, south-west Germany.

The weird moulds were found in the basement of Café Lieb and the bakery decided to reactivate them.

“Older people say they recognise them from their childhood, and many old people simply want to buy them as a souvenir,” said the comically named Ulrich Buob, head confectioner at Café Lieb. More curiously, Herr Buob argued for the relevance of the tank-straddling bunnies as Germany seeks to re-arm.

How about sending them home?

These immigrants say Canada failed to plan for a population explosion. Now it’s their top election issue

Joana Valamootoo felt Canada was a welcoming place when she immigrated here from Mauritius in 2012, but that sense has faded in recent years as immigration numbers have gone up and up.

“I came here in 2012 on a francophone initiative program, an immigration program, and I was welcome, but I was also provided what I needed to succeed here,” she said.

She believes that’s no longer the case for newcomers to the country.

Bad news immigrants, there has been no intake slowdown. 

Carney and his predator pal Wiseman plan on swamping Canada with even more incompatible cultures.

But we know most of you will vote Liberal anyway, you wouldn’t be here otherwise.
