How the legacy media became powerless

It was nearly 2 a.m. on the East Coast in the middle of election night when CNN’s Jake Tapper stood across from professional virtual-map operator John King and asked a simple question: “Are there any places where Kamala Harris overperformed from where Biden did?”

Tapping away from a view of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, King zoomed out to a view of the entire United States and hit a key to show a comparison to the 2020 election. The map instantly turned a solid dark gray, without a single county highlighted.

“Holy smokes,” Tapper gasped. “Literally nothing? Literally not one county?”

Burning a Quran shouldn’t be a crime

England ditched its blasphemy laws back in 2008. No longer would it be an offence to engage in ‘contemptuous, reviling, scurrilous or ludicrous’ speech concerning God. No longer would any poor soul be hauled off to jail, far less to the stocks, for the crime of profanity. So you can imagine my surprise when a man was arrested in Manchester on Saturday after desecrating a copy of the Quran. Was blasphemy snuck back on to the statute books without anyone noticing?

All the shocking ways USAID spent your money

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on some shocking expenditures.

USAID was established in 1961 to provide money made by Americans to help countries develop abroad.

However, the agency has been shuttered because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have found that the aid being doled out overseas often does not accomplish core U.S. missions, like expanding education and improving infrastructure.

The colonial ‘baby test’ fuelling Greenland’s independence fight

After years of discrimination the Inuit, the indigenous people of the Arctic who make up most of the population, could break away from Denmark

On a snowy hilltop overlooking a windswept bay in Nuuk, the tiny capital of Greenland, is a statue of the Christian missionary who led an expedition to colonise this vast island for Denmark in 1721. Three centuries on, after years of discrimination by Copenhagen against the local population, many Greenlanders wish that Hans Egede had never set sail.
Among the most vocal critics of Danish policies is Pele Broberg, the leader of Naleraq, an opposition party that is pushing hard for independence. “We have nothing in common with Denmark.

Nothing. We don’t have the same culture. We don’t have the same language. Nothing. What we have is systemic racism,” Broberg, a former foreign minister, said at his office in Greenland’s parliament, a small, two-storey building near Nuuk’s icy harbour.

BARBER: Liberal Party decides to entertain Canadians with a Kabuki play

“Trump is trying to deal with border issues; the Liberal Party wants a trade war.”

President Donald Trump has put tariffs on Canadian goods just as he said he would before being elected. No surprise. Despite calmer, more thoughtful minds calling for diplomacy, the leaders of the Liberal Party have been calling for a trade war for weeks. You can only have a war if two sides fight. Trump told Canadian authorities what needed to be done beforehand. He has now published the full text of his Executive Order where he informs us what he sees the problem being. The order is consistent with his earlier explanation.

The Trump shock: A trade war that will reshape North America

It didn’t take long for U.S. President Donald Trump to let slip that the 25-per-cent tariffs he imposed on Canada to demand action against fentanyl and migrants weren’t really about that.

On Saturday, he signed an executive order stating tariffs were needed to respond to a border emergency. On Sunday, he posted a blast on social media falsely claiming the U.S. is subsidizing Canada by hundreds of billions of dollars and it should become the 51st state.

Mexican drug cartels plan attacks on Border Patrol agents with kamikaze drones and other explosives to fight US crackdown

Mexican drug cartels are ordering their members to attack US Border Patrol agents with kamikaze drones and other explosives in a desperate bid to thwart the crackdown at the border, according to an internal memo obtained by The Post.

The alert, which cites social media posts and other sources, cautions federal agents “to remain cognizant of their surroundings at all times” in the face of the new threat.

Doug Ford defends snap election call despite Trump trade war

A defensive Doug Ford insists it was not reckless to call a provincial election against the backdrop of a trade war that could devastate Ontario’s economy.

The Progressive Conservative leader, who last week triggered the Feb. 27 vote 15 months early, maintained his hands are not tied during the campaign and he can still govern while electioneering.

“I totally disagree,” Ford said Monday as he accepted the endorsement of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association in Etobicoke.

Canada in Perilous Position After Trump Cuts Tariff Deal With Mexico

Some Canadian politicians previously suggested tossing Mexico from a three-nation trade agreement with the United States.

Canada found itself in a precarious position on Monday morning after Mexico cut a deal with President Trump to postpone tariffs in exchange for a major deployment of forces along the border between the two countries.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada spoke to President Trump on Monday morning but no such compromise was reached between the two. A senior Canadian government official with knowledge of the call said the situation was still in flux ahead of a second phone call between the two leaders scheduled for 3 p.m. Eastern, but did not express optimism that a compromise could be reached.

‘I Risked Everything to Blow the Whistle on Britain’s Grooming Gangs’

Over the past few weeks, politicians, journalists, and commentators have expressed outrage that gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men have been raping British girls for years—and that many have not been punished. Many in these institutions have had every opportunity to help shut down this abuse over the last two decades, but they’re only speaking out now because it’s safe to jump on the bandwagon.

To those who have finally found a conscience, I ask: Where were you 20, or even 10, years ago?

Because when I tried to tell the world about this scandal, no one wanted to listen.

As Hollywoke Crumbles

As their box office sinks, the woke enforcers of Hollywood can only watch as this President tears down everything they cancelled me for opposing.

Last week I watched a scene in a new movie I’d waited 20 years to see, which may signal the collapse of Hollywoke. The picture was Mel Gibson’s Flight Risk. The scene was a fight on a plane between Michelle Dockery as a tough Air Marshal named Madolyn and a male thug. Madolyn slugs the thug with everything she’s got. He shrugs it off and gleefully punches her unconscious.

Anthony Furey: Canada needs to deal with its fentanyl problem

American President Donald Trump has made it clear both in rhetoric and writing that the drug crisis is one of the key reasons why he’s implementing 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from Canada.

We as a nation can’t ignore this aspect of the tariff issue or try to argue our way out of it. We have to address it with eyes open. And now is the time to look more at some of the concerning aspects of drug production in our country that U.S. policymakers seem to want to address more than our own do.

Swedish government says Stockholm mosque used by Iran for spying

STOCKHOLM, Feb 3 (Reuters) – Sweden’s government on Monday accused a Shi’ite Muslim mosque in Stockholm of being a platform for Iranian spying against Sweden and the Iranian diaspora.

Sweden’s Minister for Social Affairs said on X that the Swedish Security Service assessed that the Imam Ali Islamic Center in Stockholm was used by Iran as a platform to spy and conduct activities threatening security.

“This is extremely serious,” Jakob Forssmed said, and added that Sweden had stopped all state monetary aid to the centre. He added, without elaborating, that “an additional process” was under way.

And the Swedes were funding the mosque. Talk about an own goal.
