Trump Ends $11 Million Grant to Catholic Charities for Its Illegal Immigration Support

Trump Ends $11 Million Grant to Catholic Charities for Its Illegal Immigration Support

There is an old adage that goes like this: “If someone says it’s not about the money, it’s about the money.”

While the Roman Catholic Church has largely been quiet on geopolitical matters over the past few decades, it’s only been since President Donald Trump started to more aggressively enforce America’s standing border protection policies and immigration laws that the Vatican has clearly gotten political.

LILLEY: Canada joining the EU would cost us our sovereignty

LILLEY: Canada joining the EU would cost us our sovereignty

It feels like there is a campaign underway to get Canada to join the European Union. We have polls and news stories pushing the idea, and politicians seemingly regularly commenting on how or if it could happen.

It’s an utterly ridiculous idea that would see Canada surrender more sovereignty than we would in any trade deal with the Americans. To the smart set, though, the people who allow Donald Trump to occupy every corner of their brains, joining the EU is the antidote to Trump.

Mark Carney has his majority. Now comes the hard part

Mark Carney has his majority. Now comes the hard part

The federal Liberals now have their Parliamentary majority, completing the job with byelections but having had to set the stage with opposition MPs crossing the floor. How it happened becomes secondary to what they now do with it.

The composition of the House of Commons will always be fluid, just as righteous howls over floor crossing will always be with us.

Marilyn Gladu, MP for Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong, recently revised her opinion on the matter when crossing to join the Liberals. Yes, it’s a frustration for those in her riding who voted Conservative. Gladu’s socially conservative views have also prompted cynicism among some Liberals regarding Carney’s core values.

Vance: Trump wants ‘grand bargain’ with Iran

Donald Trump wants to make a “grand bargain” with Iran, JD Vance has claimed, with the US considering offering incentives in return for peace.

The US vice-president said the message given to Tehran was that it would thrive if it agreed to curb its nuclear programme, hinting that a string of financial rewards could be on the table.

“[Trump] doesn’t want to make a small deal. He wants to make the grand bargain,” Mr Vance told a Turning Point USA event in Georgia.

ANDRUS: Carney’s manufactured majority is institutional arson

ANDRUS: Carney’s manufactured majority is institutional arson

You can call it a majority by the letter of the law — but it’s actually an act of institutional arson.

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, parachuted in to save Justin Trudeau’s sinking ship, just pulled off the ultimate boardroom maneuver. After Monday’s by-election victories in Toronto’s University-Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Montreal’s Terrebonne, the Liberals have manufactured a majority government out of thin air.

Ex-Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax kills wife, shoots himself in murder-suicide at home amid ‘messy divorce,’ cops say

Embattled former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his wife and then shot himself inside their home early Thursday in the throes of a “messy divorce,” cops said.

The 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot his dentist wife, Cerina Fairfax, in the basement of their Annandale home just after midnight before turning the gun on himself, according to police.

The couple’s two teenage children were inside the home at the time of the murder-suicide. Their son was the one who called 911 to report the shootings, cops said.

GUNTER: Carney majority spells return to same old Liberal mismanagement

The three byelection wins by the Liberals on Monday night give the Carney government an unassailable majority. With 174 seats, they can pass any bill they like without having rely on the Speaker of the House of Commons to cast a deciding vote to break a tie.

Let’s put aside for a moment the fact that the Liberal majority was undemocratically obtained.

Iran used Chinese spy satellite to target US bases

Iran used Chinese spy satellite to target US bases

Iran secretly acquired a Chinese spy satellite that gave the Islamic republic a powerful new capability to target US military bases across the Middle East during the recent war, according to a Financial Times investigation.

Leaked Iranian military documents show the satellite, known as TEE-01B, was acquired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force in late 2024 after it was launched into space from China.

Time-stamped coordinate lists, satellite imagery and orbital analysis show that Iranian military commanders later tasked the satellite to monitor key US military sites. The images were taken in March before and after drone and missile strikes on those locations.

Self-censorship has become the safest form of expression

Self-censorship has become the safest form of expression

A few years ago, I was in New York with my 21-year-old daughter. We visited museums, ate at great restaurants, did some shopping. During our trip, she found a pair of sandals made of embroidered Chinese fabric and fell in love with them.

But that summer, I noticed she never wore them. When I asked why, she said: “I just feel like there’s a chance I’ll offend someone.”

Vile American YouTube star Johnny Somali is sent to PRISON after defiling monument to sex slaves in South Korea

A controversial American YouTuber was sentenced to six months in a South Korean labor prison after he obscenely disrespected a monument honoring wartime sex slaves.

Johnny Somali, whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, was found guilty of multiple charges, including obstruction of business and distributing fabricated sexually explicit content, by the Seoul Western District Court on Wednesday.

In October 2024, Somali, 25, caused outrage when he uploaded a video of himself kissing and performing a lap dance on the Statue of Peace. The Seoul monument pays homage to the women sexually abused and trafficked during wartime.
