‘Keep on dreaming’: could Europe really defend itself without the US?
The Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, was typically blunt when he met members of the European parliament this week. From the dais of the blond-wood committee room in Brussels, he was clear: “If anyone thinks that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can’t. We can’t.”
And if Europe wanted to supplant the US nuclear deterrent, existing spending commitments would have to double, he added – “so hey, good luck!”
His comments left some MEPs fuming. The former Dutch prime minister – who provoked mockery when he called Donald Trump “Daddy” – had already irritated some deputies with his robust defence of the US president’s interest in the Arctic.
WTF?
If you would like to hire someone who works in health care, and also makes videos about her disdain and hatred for Trump and conservatives, may I suggest this woman?

The Golden Dome is where Canada’s F-35 debate and Trump’s Greenland threat meet
It’s not much of a stretch to say that in terms of Canada-U.S. relations, we are — metaphorically speaking — at the point where we’d prefer to shoot the messenger, rather than listen to the message.
In the view of some experts, the political and economic discourse is so distorted, so angry, so mashed up that important points of strategic and defence policy that would have been mundane — even eye-glazing — less than a decade ago are lighting enormous rhetorical and political fires.
The Radicalization of American Politics
Americans are radicalized, not because they care too much about politics, but because they’re bored. In our culture, stripped of meaning, community, and restraint, politics has become a substitute for dealing with yourself.
Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman, autodidact, and moral philosopher, was deeply suspicious of the hunger for belonging. In his must-read book, The True Believer, he argues that mass movements — left, right, or religious — are fueled less by ideas than by boredom, bitterness, and the desire of frustrated and shallow individuals to fulfill themselves. “Freedom aggravates at least as much as it alleviates frustration,” he writes. “Freedom of choice places the whole blame of failure on the shoulders of the individual.” This is about as conservative a statement as one can make.
Muslim man, 23, boy, 17, accused of human trafficking of underage girls per teachings of Islam
A 23-year-old man and a 17-yeay-old boy face charges stemming from a human trafficking investigation after three missing Quebec girls were rescued from a Richmond Hill home last week.
York Regional Police say Counter Exploitation investigators received information on Tuesday that three missing female youths from Quebec may be in York Region.
Israel eyes regime change in Iran – and is counting on Trump to make it happen
Amid the din of global speculation over US military build-up in the Middle East, Israel’s leaders have remained unusually silent.
Aside from some remarks in support of Iran’s anti-government protests this month, Israel’s prime minister has had little to say publicly about his superpower ally taking on his biggest enemy. His government has remained equally silent.
“It shows you the importance Netanyahu puts on this moment,” said Danny Citrinowicz, who served for 25 years in Israel’s Defence Intelligence, and is now senior Iran researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies.

JAY GOLDBERG: Mark Carney must end Justin Trudeau’s undemocratic alcohol tax hikes
Should politicians be able to hike taxes without standing up to cast a vote?
Thanks to a 2017 policy implemented by Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, that’s exactly what happens every year with alcohol taxes.
The Worst of Don Lemon (Post-Arrest Edition)
On Friday, it was reported that Don Lemon was arrested for his part in the invasion of a St. Paul, MN church. The notoriously leftist Lemon (he’s a multiple winner of MRC’s Worst Quote of the Year) was so biased that he actually got fired from CNN.
For a look at the worst of Lemon’s time at CNN see here.
Since Lemon was canned from his CNN show, he has continued his horrible ways as a podcaster.

“Indian” man charged in U.S. with smuggling people across the border from Canada
A federal grand jury charged an Indian man with smuggling a dozen people from Canada into the United States.
The U.S. Justice Department says 22-year-old Shivam Lnu allegedly smuggled Indian nationals across the U.S.-Canada border into Clinton County in New York.
Citing court documents, the department alleges the suspect directed and coordinated the human trafficking operation for several months between January and June 2025.
The DOJ says U.S. Border Patrol agents tried to stop two vehicles travelling one behind another near the border on Jan. 26, 2025.
Here’s What to Know About the Millions of Pages of Epstein Documents
The Department of Justice on Friday released the largest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files to date, a giant tranche including three million more pages of documents and thousands of videos and images.
The documents shed new light on the disgraced financier’s relationships with several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. They also contain a significant number of uncorroborated tips to law enforcement.
Congress mandated the release in November, and President Trump signed the bill despite initially opposing it, as he has sought to put an end to the accusations and speculation swirling around the case. The latest batch of documents arrived weeks after a Dec. 19 deadline imposed by Congress.
GM’s Boss Isn’t Thrilled About What Canada Has Agreed To
Not long after Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Unifor union leader Lana Payne voiced their concerns over Canada’s recent trade agreement with China, GM CEO Mary Barra weighed in as well. Given what’s at stake, especially the potential arrival of low-cost Chinese EVs in North America, her stance was as expected.
Barra made it clear she sees the deal as working against efforts to bolster a strong North American manufacturing base. The underlying concern is one of both economic and strategic security.
Maher: ‘Celebrities Don‘t Know About the Real World‘, Talent Isn‘t ‘Knowing Things‘
During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that “Celebrities don’t know about the real world.” And told them that “being talented, which you are, isn’t the same as knowing things or having the credibility to advise people on their politics. You rail against privilege, but you avail yourself of the greatest privilege of all, to remain clueless.”
Bill Maher GOES OFF on Hollywood celebrities, telling them to stay the h*ll out of politics at their glitzy awards shows—because their preachy lectures just make people hate them (and their causes) even more.

United Nations faces ‘imminent financial collapse’ without urgent action, UN chief says
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief is warning that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues — a message likely directed at the United States and the billions it owes.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a letter to all U.N. member nations obtained Friday by The Associated Press that cash for its regular operating budget could run out by July, which could dramatically affect its operations.
