My senior colleagues are more interested in appealing to the chattering classes than in tackling crime.
Yet another senior police officer has decided to prostrate himself at the feet of identity politics. This time it’s Gavin Stephens, chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), which oversees the national collaboration between British police chiefs.
The former president’s formidable inner circle of advisers is a far cry from the chaos of 2016 and provides a counterweight to their erratic boss
The front cabin of Trump Force One, Donald Trump’s gleaming Boeing 757, has space for eight or nine advisers on its sofa and white leather chairs, with 24-carat gold-plated belt buckles, grouped around a highly polished wooden table.
Just the right amount of room for the former president and his inner circle to plan the latest moves of an election campaign that is far removed from the chaos of his 2016 run and could carry him back to the White House.
From Eagle Pass to Lampedusa: As goes the Rio Grande, so goes the Mediterranean?
You wouldn’t know it from the lack of attention in the European and American media, but the United States is moving quickly toward a major constitutional crisis. The cause? The massive number of illegal migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, which Washington is doing virtually nothing to stop.
Since 2021, the U.S. Government has caught 6 million illegal migrants have crossing illegally into America from Mexico, which shares a border with Texas. In December alone, a record high of 302,000 migrants crossed the Rio Grande—more than the number of migrants who entered Europe illegally in all of 2023.
US officials do not have the capabilities to defend America against a hypothetical alien invasion, internal Pentagon watchdogs have determined.
A newly declassified document found the Department of Defense (DoD) lacks comprehensive or coordinated effort to track and analyze UFOs – which have been rebranded Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) in recent years.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) made the eerie conclusion that this blindspot in the DoD’s defensive capabilities ‘poses a threat to military forces and national security.’
Israel’s conflict with Hamas is set to be a long one—with both sides struggling to accomplish their fundamental aims and no clear path to any kind of enduring peace.
Israel has sworn to destroy Hamas as a significant military and political force. Hamas is committed to the long-term goal of erasing the Israeli state.
The irreconcilable stakes are existential for both. And that means that even if a cease-fire halts the current round of fighting in Gaza, the struggle between Israel and Hamas will continue.
The University of Wisconsin Law School has a first year mandatory class that denounces “whiteness” and reportedly says that “colorblindness” is bad and racist.
It also teaches that “there are no exceptional white people.”
Liberal MPs are split on how Canada should respond to the International Court of Justice case on whether Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations’ top court opted today to continue looking into the case and demanded Israel try to limit death and damage in its military offensive.
As lively sounds of music, cheers and laughter rang out in celebration of the New Year, there was another sound I couldn’t ignore. A familiar sound. A deeply uncomfortable sound. The deafening sound of silence from our political and societal leaders.
Today, there is silence as Hamas declares its intention to destroy Israel. But this sound has rung out before. It rang out in the 1930s in the face of another evil focused on the elimination of an entire race.
Desperation has definitely set in at the Langevin Block, home of the Prime Minister’s Office on Parliament Hill. You can see it in how they act and who and what they attack as they try to convince voters they are relevant.

Canada is suspending funding to a controversial UN agency in Gaza after allegations this week that its employees participated in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack against Israel.
This follows an announcement by the U.S government Friday that it was immediately pausing funding for the the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), after evidence presented by the Israeli government this week alleged 12 of the agency’s employees took part in the Hamas-led attack, in which terrorists murdered over 1,000 Israelis, mostly civilians.
The Liberals knew they were connected to Hamas.
Liberals restore funding to controversial Palestinian aid agency
The federal Liberals are providing $25 million to a UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees that was cut off by the previous Conservative government for alleged ties to Hamas.
International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau made the announcement at a news conference and also during question period in the House of Commons — news that was greeted by cries of “shame” from the opposition benches.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, also known as UNRWA, lost federal funding in 2010 amid allegations it was tied too closely to Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by Canada and others.

The Defense Department’s effort to identify UFOs is “uncoordinated” and could have overlooked threats to the United States, according to an unclassified version of a report from the Pentagon’s internal watchdog released Thursday.
In the report, originally released last August but containing classified sections, the DOD’s inspector general reviewed the department’s policies and procedures for detecting, reporting and analyzing UFO reports that have flooded the department in recent years.
Donald Trump was ordered Friday to pay a whopping $83.3 million in damages for defaming E. Jean Carroll, the advice columnist whom a prior jury found that Trump sexually assaulted inside a department store fitting room.
The jury verdict was broken down into $65 million meant to punish Trump, $11 million to help Carroll rebuild her reputation and another $7.3 million to compensate her for her pain and suffering.
The federal government has said expanding the electric vehicle charging network is key to meeting the country’s climate goals, but an investigation by CBC’s Marketplace has exposed a wide range in pricing as well as inconsistencies in performance and reliability at public charging stations.
Marketplace tested the pricing and reliability at some of Canada’s most popular charging providers, travelling to Ivy, Flo, ChargePoint and Petro-Canada charging stations located across Ontario.
