The problem with politicians is that they will insist on indulging in partisan politicking, the distasteful and grubby manipulation of affairs to advance their own, or party, fortunes.
It leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the electorate who can see it for what it is — an odious form of political nepotism.
Actor Anthony Mackie has attempted to clear up remarks about the character Captain America that sparked backlash and seemed to sideline American values, which the hero represents.
As Breitbart News reported, Mackie found himself at the center of an internet firestorm over remarks he made to an audience in Italy that said that “America” should not be represented by Captain America.
The U.S. is threatening a two-stage tariff plan in which Canada and Mexico could get hit with initial trade penalties within days then face broader penalties this spring.
In summary it’s: Maybe tariffs now, and maybe more tariffs later.
The details emerged Wednesday at the U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for the person chosen to lead President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, Howard Lutnick.
A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) source told Breitbart News on Tuesday that there were not enough officers available to direct traffic and assist the evacuation from the Palisades Fire because they were guarding President Joe Biden.
Who do I trust? That’s the question Liberals need to ask themselves as they prepare to choose a new leader — because it’s the question voters will be asking in the next federal election. But it’s not about trust in the macro sense: is this person honest? Will they keep their promises? Do they have the smarts and experience for the job? It’s trust in the micro sense: who do I trust to have my back? Who gets me? Who do I trust to look after my wallet, my job, my family and my country?
Evan Hafer, a popular veteran and founder of Black Rifle Coffee, was on Joe Rogan’s podcast after the November election. As with any Maga acolyte, the US-Mexico border figured prominently in his mind.
“If we declare war on the cartel, these dudes are not going to understand what the fuck is going on. They are in for a world of ultra-violence,” said Hafer, who served in the Green Berets and the CIA.
“JD [Vance] or Trump had said something with the new guy from Ice, like: ‘We’re going to mobilize tier one units against the cartel.’”
"Religious freedom, including the right to pray in peace and security, is a core Canadian value, and one that common sense Conservatives will always defend." I know you're trolling for votes but it isn't a Muslim value given their penchant for sectarian violence and terrorism.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is not backing down.
She will defend Alberta.
She is asked again and again and again.
Smith’s latest answer?
No way. No how. You can call her traitor, often and louder each time you accuse her of treason.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is “immediately pulling” retired Gen. Mark Milley’s personal security detail and security clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.
The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to “undermine the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term, officials say.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is rejecting the terms of a briefing from Canada’s spy agency regarding foreign interference because it won’t enable him to act on the information, his office says.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said in December that it was looking to share “some information to the leader of the Official Opposition through a threat reduction measure.”
But a spokesperson for Poilievre said Tuesday that the Conservative leader wouldn’t be able to act upon the information he received from the CSIS briefing.
The Left is outraged because Trump made promises during the campaign and now has the audacity to actually deliver on those promises.
The Left is agog at the audacity of Donald Trump. They are because Trump is doing as president just what he promised to do as a candidate. This astounds the Left because their candidates always run to the center and then govern to the left. Since their candidates never do what they promise, they cannot come to grips with someone who does. The contrast may be no less jarring than Trump’s policies themselves.
The official rate of Canadians 65 and older living in poverty is six per cent.
But the number could be more than double that, new research warns.
Fourteen per cent of Canadians in that age demographic are living in “poverty-level conditions,” according to the “Ageing in Canada” survey released today by the National Institute on Ageing and Environics Institute for Survey Research.
The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) surveyed 5,875 Canadians over the age of 50 on their social well-being, health and financial security.
President Donald Trump’s administration is offering federal workers the chance to take a “deferred resignation” with a severance package of roughly eight months of pay and benefits.
A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings.

Quebec’s immigration minister says newcomers to the province need to embrace the “common culture,” as the government looks to put Quebec identity back at the forefront of the political agenda.
The Quebec government will table a new bill Thursday on the integration of immigrants, which will require newcomers to adhere to Quebec values like gender equality and secularism.
“We will be pretty clear. We are a nation, we have a culture, we have democratic values,” Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge told reporters in Quebec City as the provincial legislature resumed Tuesday following the holiday break. “And people coming here must accept that.”
