Trump Outlines ‘9 Steps’ He’ll Use to ‘Drain The Swamp’
Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a rally at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, Wisconsin, railed against Vice President Kamala Harris while outlining his “nine steps” to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C.
“Our country is a failing nation right now,” Trump told supporters. “It’s a laughingstock all over the world. Over the past four years, our country has seen the sickness and corruption of the Washington swamp exposed like never before.”
Trudeau insists he’s staying on as Liberal leader. But what if he changes his mind?
The Liberal caucus is set to meet in Nanaimo, B.C., next week for a retreat ahead of the fall parliamentary sitting. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists he will lead his party into the next election despite polls citing his unpopularity among Canadians. Here’s a look at what would happen if he decided to call it quits.
Migrant Crime Dwarfs All Statistics in NYC
In 1978, the Rolling Stones recorded a song that described their collective experience of living in New York City: Shattered. The lyrics were a harsh condemnation of the once iconic city in shambles: “Don’t you know the crime rate’s going up, up, up, up, up?” The squalor of 70s NYC is being bested by the influx of illegal aliens – hundreds of whom are not inclined to follow the rule of law in the sanctuary enclave of the Big Apple. According to insider sources*, 75% of Midtown Manhattan arrests for assault, robbery, and domestic violence are committed by your newly imported illegal migrant.
CARPAY: Covid Apocalypse and the triumph of fear over facts
Shortly before lockdowns were imposed in March 2020, Dr. Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London predicted 510,000 Covid deaths in Great Britain and 2.2 million deaths in the United States by mid-April, and 40 million COVID-19 deaths globally over the next 12 months.
He compared COVID-19 to the Spanish Flu of 1918, which killed between 20 and 100 million people world-wide from 1918 to 1920. Unlike COVID-19, the Spanish Flu killed tens of millions of healthy young adults and significantly impacted global mortality during a time when the world’s population was a quarter of today’s.
‘Exploiting Public Sentiment’: Hostages Recount Hamas Forcing Them To Make Scripted Videos To Pressure Israel
Hamas forced hostages to recite scripts in videos pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a deal for a ceasefire, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Aviva Siegel, a now-released hostage, recounted how Hamas ordered her to partake in photo and scripted video shoots, often in the background of abuse and poor living conditions, that pressured Netanyahu to negotiate an end to the Israel-Hamas war, according to the WSJ. Israeli hostage negotiators and officials called the tactics a form of “psychological terror.”
TERRAZZANO: Canadians need a break from Trudeau’s gas taxes
Canadians need a break from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s soaring gas taxes.
The federal government makes you pay a federal fuel tax, a carbon tax, a second carbon tax, and a sales tax every time you fuel up. In total, federal gas taxes add about 35 cents per litre to the pump price. That’s more than $20 to fuel up a sedan.

Metro Vancouver is the fourth-most dense region in North America
In light of the prevailing mythology that Canada is “empty,” it’s counter-intuitive to realize Canada’s cities are unusually crowded. And still unaffordable.
Wyndham Lewis once described Canada as a “monstrous, empty habitat”.
And the British writer is by no means the only one to say this country is vast, imposing and under-populated.
Given that Canada is geographically the second-largest country in the world, it’s understandable that many feel it is largely empty.
Shocker: Captured Hamas Document Shows Sinwar Playing the West Like a Fiddle
German magazine Bild reports on a Hamas strategy document captured in Gaza that comes from the poisoned pen and mind of Yahya Sinwar himself. The document, if authentic, lays out the full hostaging strategy Hamas planned to employ in this war. It will come as no surprise to anyone at this point — outside the White House, anyway — that Sinwar has no interest in cease-fires or a two-state solution.
Trevor Tombe: The Great Divergence: Canada’s economic gap with the U.S. reaches a new record
Canada’s economy has fallen behind its population growth for the fifth straight quarter, with real GDP per capita declining by 0.1 percent in Q2 2024, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada released last week.
Compared to the same period last year, per capita GDP is now down 2.2 percent. Compared to 2022, it’s down 3.6 percent. As RBC analysts correctly noted, this is a “recession-like” performance.
This downturn becomes even more striking when viewed in comparison to the United States, which continues to see gains.
Breastfeeding expert facing legal action for criticising “trans” male who fed his baby chemically induced nipple secretions
Jasmine Sussex is being taken to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) for “vilification” over comments she made on X about a man who calls himself Jennifer Buckley and claims to be a “transgender” woman, but is refusing to back down and will defend the claim with the help of the Human Rights Law Alliance.
Expanding WHO’s Role: Canadian Stakeholders Eye “Misinformation” Control
Canada wants to expand the scope of the World Health Organization, WHO’s global pandemic agreement (treaty) by adding more censorship measures.
The initiative is to add social media “misinformation” (and censorship thereof) to the discussion of the draft treaty. In anticipation of the “next pandemic,” Canada also wants more attention to be paid to what it considers diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The treaty’s purpose is to give WHO an active role in directing how the United Nation’s 193 member countries deal with pandemics or other health crises. However, the negotiators failed to agree on the text of the document by the May deadline this year.
