The broker told his client he had a relative in the “little red party” with links to the “famous Suns” who, for an up-front fee, would guarantee safe passage of the container with the cocaine onto the ship docked at the Venezuelan port.
The cocaine — a batch of 32 kilograms hidden inside two electrical generators — was destined for Libya.
I’m surprised CBC didn’t blame Trump.
One of the most befuddling and truly irritating things about all the theatrics surrounding the ICE enforcement brouhaha has been the levels of self-delusion that the Left is willing to indulge in in order to perpetuate the hysteria.
These lunatics have suspended time and reality in their demented and twisted brain housing groups.
An incident can happen, and be filmed without any alteration, then shown right in front of them, and they will immediately devise a different scenario than the one on screen out of whole cloth, as if it were some avant-garde ad-lib theater exercise.

The number of Canadians travelling to and from the United States by car was down for the 12th consecutive month, Statistics Canada data shows.
In December, 1.3 million Canadians returned from the U.S. by automobile, a “steep decline” of 30.7 per cent from the same month in 2024, says Statistics Canada data released on Monday.
The data noted that Dec. 28 was the busiest day for road travel at the border, with 73,800 Canadians returning to the country.
Motherly, mother tongue, maiden name and masterpiece are “banned” words in a new EU-funded gender-neutral guide to aid greater European linguistic integration.
The guidelines are designed to counter the use of language that is “biased, discriminatory or demeaning” by implying that “one sex or social gender is the norm”.
Instead, it sets out detailed lists of language which aim to provide people with gender-sensitive, non-sexist, inclusive and gender-fair alternatives.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump appears to be trying to change the global order one barrel of oil at a time. With Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro out, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei possibly out next, China must be getting nervous, and Cuba is trying to deny reality.
BERLIN — For the 13 years since its founding, the nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party — labeled “right-wing extremist” by the country’s domestic intelligence agency and accused by others of xenophobia, antisemitism and Islamophobia — has stood in opposition. Opposition to the European Union. Opposition to immigration. And, as the largest party outside the governing coalition after last year’s federal elections, opposition to Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
This year, the AfD is looking to lead for the first time — by winning control of a state government.
CALGARY — The US Deputy Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Jim O’Neil, has bashed Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) program as being a “strange new horror” when it comes to its organ donations.
Reported by the Washington Examiner, O’Neil stated MAiD has crossed ethical boundaries by using it as a tool to increase organ donation — citing Canada has become a world leader in organ transplant policy from deceased patients.
With the government shutting down the internet and throttling phone services, Iranians are leaning heavily on Elon Musk’s Starlink service to share videos of growing protests and the regime’s escalating crackdown with the world.
But Iran has intensified efforts to jam the service, which is banned in the country, and users are being hunted.
Over the weekend, authorities began searching for and confiscating Starlink dishes in western Tehran, said Amir Rashidi, director of digital rights and security at Miaan Group, a U.S. nonprofit opposed to internet censorship.
Iranian man warns that Sharia law starts with unity between the left and Islamists.
Pay attention to what he’s saying. The same alliance between the left and Islam that is happening in the West happened in Iran decades ago. That’s how Iran became an Islamic theocracy. pic.twitter.com/UwoBHLKpOV

ICE’s online posts and advertisements set a dangerous tone
After watching the video of the tragic shooting of Renée Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said: “What you see is what you get in this case.”
Long before software turned “what you see is what you get” into WYSIWYG, it was the catchphrase of Geraldine Jones, comedian Flip Wilson’s iconic character, who also dodged blame with her excuse, “the devil made me do it.” Geraldine understood that surface impressions feel complete precisely because they’re vivid. They rarely are complete.

Bill and Hillary Clinton refused on Tuesday to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, escalating a monthslong battle with Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky, and effectively daring him to follow through on his threats to hold them in contempt of Congress.
“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,” the Clintons wrote in a lengthy letter to Mr. Comer, which was obtained by The New York Times. “For us, now is that time.”
What gall.
Pierre Poilievre is surely looking forward to what 2026 will bring. But while the new year may still be in its infancy, there are two pressing matters he needs to deal with right off the bat.
First, he faces a mandatory leadership review at the Conservative Party’s national convention in Calgary from Jan. 29-31. A few left-leaning political commentators have attempted to turn this into a big deal. They point to a Dec. 11, 2025 Angus Reid Institute survey that showed only 58 per cent of “recent Conservative voters” want him to stay on as leader in the next election. That survey doesn’t tell the whole story, however. There’s a big difference between the views of loyal Conservative party members, who are strongly behind Poilievre, and the unreliable, ever-shifting allegiances of Canadian voters. The former group, and not the latter, will ultimately decide Poilievre’s fate.
WASHINGTON — President Trump called on Iranian protesters to take over government buildings Tuesday in one of his starkest calls yet for a regime-change revolution to topple the Islamic Republic.
“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Whether Trump keeps his promise or not, I can guarantee you the regime in Iran will do everything in their power to prevent Iranians from seeing this post.
They will kill everyone and everything.
Time is running short, President. pic.twitter.com/QChImXWgRx

Scott Adams, a cartoonist, author, an independent-minded pundit and podcaster, has died at the age of 68 after a rather public battle against prostate cancer. The host of Real Coffee with Scott Adams, the creator of the legendary comic strip Dilbert, and the author of numerous books, had continued with his livestreaming routine, seven days a week throughout his treatments for the disease up until yesterday. In the process, he treated his audience like close family during his cancer journey.
This sucks. Thanks for the laughs.
Lovely. @fancypants_s https://t.co/GfJzTST4HO

“I saw it with my own eyes – they fired directly into lines of protesters, and people fell where they stood.”
Omid’s voice was shaking as he spoke, fearful of being traced. Breaking the wall of silence between Iran and the rest of the world takes immense courage, given the risk of reprisals by the authorities.
Omid, in his early 40s and whose name we have changed for his safety, has been protesting on the streets of a small city in southern Iran over the past few days against worsening economic hardship.
Iranians chanting “Iran! Iran! Iran!” in front of the burning Al-Rasool mosque which was used as an IRGC Basij militia base for suppressing the protests in Tehran.

Turns out eight was not enough for these high-end vehicle thieves.
“They had keys for three more,” said Mark Kusiewicz, the manager of Oakville’s Lockwood Leasing. “They just didn’t have enough drivers.”
“They were like rats” coming through the holes at Oakville car dealership in which all 8 luxury cars—Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes—were stolen Jan 12. @HaltonPolice are all over this though. Four have been recovered already. But watch these rats at work — Part One pic.twitter.com/0l5Mo24I45
