Trump tears into ‘average guy’ George Clooney who ‘complained, constantly, about common sense in politics’

President Donald Trump slammed George Clooney as an “average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics,” adding that the actor “wasn’t a movie star at all” and has garnered “more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies.”

In a scathing New Year’s Eve Truth Social post, Trump called the “Jay Kelly” star and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time” following the couple’s recent announcement that they’ve been granted French citizenship.

‘Who in the world would want to take a church bell?’ Centuries-old relic weighing hundreds of pounds stolen

Parishioners at a church in Fredericton say they’re heartbroken and bewildered after someone stole a large, brass church bell from the church yard earlier this week.

“It’s a sad situation, what’s happening in the world today,” said Sharon Vickers, the churchwarden at St. Peter’s Anglican Church along Woodstock Road in Fredericton.

“To think that somebody has to be driving around looking for something to take that has a meaning to it and it’s not a concern to those people is so unfortunate,” Vickers added.

Checking on a Sudden Net Worth Boom for Ilhan Omar

Socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is much richer than when she entered Congress, and it’s more than just the $174,000-a-year congressional salary. She married her campaign strategist Tim Mynett after her campaign dumped an eye-popping $2.9 million into his consulting business during the 2020 election cycle.

When the “independent fact checkers” get involved, they sound like they’re defending the Democrats. An X post by Snopes.com declared: “A rumor circulating on social media claims Rep. Ilhan Omar’s net worth skyrocketed after she took office in 2019. We reviewed her financial disclosure reports to check the facts.”

Where is the true north? Magnetic north pole is drifting away from Canada — toward Russia

A lesser known feature of the planet Earth’s magnetic field has recently gained a special Canadian connection that is often overlooked in the better known science story about the magnetic north pole drifting away from Canada toward Russia.

The wandering north pole typically gets a round of media attention every five years when there is a new update to the World Magnetic Model, basically a map of the local variations in the planet’s magnetic field that is used for precise calculation in navigation systems. The 2025 version, released a year ago by British and American national scientific organizations, showed that the magnetic north pole is still drifting across the Arctic Ocean toward Russian territory, though at a slower rate than in recent years.

Ten Years On, German Elite Still Plays Down Cologne Migrant Sex Attacks

Over 1,000 women were sexually assaulted and raped across Germany’s major cities exactly ten years ago today, in an enormous and apparently coordinated act of violence by recently arrived migrant men, the nature and causes of which are still the subject of attempted obfuscation to this day.


Not surprising. The RCMP/TPS lied to us about the Danforth Shooter being a devout Muslim who singled out female victims.

Canada’s highest-paid CEOs made an average of $16.2 million last year … Corporate Welfare expected to reach $40 to 45 billion

The gap between average worker wages and Canada’s top-paid CEOs widened to a record in 2024, according to a new report that pushes for higher taxes on the wealthiest.

Average compensation for the 100 best-paid chief executives hit $16.2 million in the year, surpassing the previous record of $14.9 million in 2022, said the report out Friday from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.


Canada under the Liberal Party is all about giving your money to their corporate pals. They hate you. Why else would they swamp Canada with cheap foreign labour?

Hey Grok – How much was paid in corporate welfare to Canadian firms in 2025

Federal business subsidies (often termed corporate welfare) in Canada reached approximately $40 billion in the 2023–24 fiscal year, with continued high levels in 2025 due to ongoing programs like clean technology incentives and EV battery production subsidies.

A University of Calgary School of Public Policy report indicates federal subsidies grew 140% from 2014–15 to 2023–24, hitting $40.1 billion in 2023–24. Projections suggest they could approach $50 billion annually by 2027–28 without policy changes, driven by investment tax credits and major industrial supports. For 2025 (covering parts of fiscal years 2024–25 and 2025–26), the total likely remains in the $40–45 billion range federally, including ramped-up EV incentives.

California sets up a showdown with Washington by reissuing licenses to killer migrant truckers

California has delayed its cancellation of thousands of commercial driver’s licenses held by migrants, setting it up for another showdown with Washington.

The Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Tuesday that the 17,000 migrant truck drivers whose licenses had been revoked can now keep them for 60 more days, which could enable the drivers to retake tests and do whatever is necessary to remain legal.

Not only is food more expensive, it is also becoming ultraprocessed garbage

Say what?

In a historic case, the city of San Francisco is suing 10 major ultraprocessed-food companies, alleging that they have saddled governments with excessive public-health costs.

… The suit accuses manufacturers of knowingly selling products that harm consumers while marketing them as being “wholesome” or “convenient” in a violation of California’s public-nuisance and unfair-competition laws.

China Signals It Won’t Give an Inch to the U.S. in Latin America

China intends to keep playing in the U.S. backyard, Latin America.

The Trump administration took veiled swipes at China in its national-security strategy with the vow to “restore American pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere” and “deny non-Hemispheric competitors.”

Less than a week after the release of the U.S. strategy in December, Beijing issued a little-noticed policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean that geopolitical analysts say foreshadows more U.S.-China jostling for regional influence.

JAY GOLDBERG: Canadians aren’t buying Mark Carney’s carbon tax spin

Although Prime Minister Mark Carney scrapped the consumer carbon tax in 2025, he is on a mission to make Canadians’ lives more expensive by jacking up industrial carbon taxes in 2026.

Carney wants Canadians to believe businesses can somehow be taxed without those costs being passed on to consumers.

Mass immigration is fuelling rise of UK ethnic nationalism

New research has found an increase in the number of Britons who believe that a person must be born in the country to be considered truly British, with a significant number tying national identity to race and ancestry. So, are we witnessing the rise of ethnic nationalism in modern Britain?

A YouGov poll carried out on behalf of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) found that 36% of the public thought a person had to be born in Britain to be truly British — almost double the 2023 figure of 19%. Ethnic and ancestral conceptions of nationhood are the norm among supporters of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, which continues to lead in the polls. While seven in 10 Reform supporters said that having British ancestry was a prerequisite for someone to be truly British, six in 10 believed the nation was an ethnic — not a civic — community. More than a third of Reform UK voters (37%) said they would be prouder of Britain if there were fewer ethnic-minority people in 10 years’ time, with one in 10 holding the view that it was important to be white to be considered a good British citizen.

Canada has been silent on one of the most frightening stories of our time

The dire warnings about AI keep coming.

Eric Schmidt, former chief executive of Google, says that within a few years, millions of independent AI agents working together “will develop their own language.” And “we won’t understand what they’re doing.” They will have escaped human control.

The University of Montreal computer scientist and AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio told The Guardian this week that AI models were showing signs of self-preservation, the capacity to evade guardrails and to inflict harm on humans. Without controls, he said, AI systems will be free to operate like hostile extraterrestrials.

Mamdani Revokes Executive Orders That Adams Signed to Support Israel

Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order in his first day as mayor on Thursday revoking all orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after his indictment on federal corruption charges, including two that he had touted as support for Israel.

One of the revoked orders, signed last month by Mr. Adams, barred city agencies from boycotting or divesting from Israel. Another that the former mayor signed last June adopted an expansive definition of antisemitism that equates some forms of anti-Israel criticism, like opposition to Israel’s ethnically Jewish character, with antisemitism.

Mr. Mamdani did not revoke the creation of the city’s office to combat antisemitism, which Mr. Adams created in May.


A sure sign of a city’s decline is the election of a Khan, Chow or Mamdani.

Police unwittingly confirm their political capture

Not everything needs to make sense in life, but when a situation seems inexplicable, it may well be that we simply don’t want to admit the truth. The answer to what bedevils us is usually staring us in the face.

A Biologist or Chemist would try different tests and computations before proving out their theory, and that would be that; for the Political Scientist, there comes a point where so much evidence has piled up that only unconscious bias — or the dangerously naive hope that good faith motives are omnipresent — will prevent you from admitting the truth.

Jailed Islamist killer wins payout for isolation from other inmates

David Lammy has agreed to pay an Islamist double-killer £7,500 in compensation and cover the £234,000 legal costs of his human rights claim.

Fuad Awale, who also held a prison officer hostage while serving a life sentence for shooting two men in the head in 2011, said he suffered “severe depression” when he was denied contact with other inmates.
