Trump’s national security strategy leaves Canada on the sidelines — for now

WASHINGTON, D.C. — For anyone trying to better understand U.S. President Donald Trump’s foreign policy vision and its consequences for Canada, look no further than the recently released national security strategy (NSS) that offers the White House’s vision of America’s global influence and its defence and economic power priorities.

Unlike the previous two strategies — under both Joe Biden and Trump 1.0 — the new strategy no longer focuses heavily on major power competition, instead extolling an “America First” foreign policy centred mainly on America’s economic power and national interests.

Guilt Isn’t Genetic: We cannot continue treating one another as carriers of moral disease.

Nicki Minaj is not a theologian, a historian, or a political philosopher. However, during a Sunday conversation with Erika Kirk at Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest, she articulated a moral truth that much of our culture — especially our political culture — seems determined to forget. Her remarks about beauty, pride, and childhood dignity unexpectedly point toward one of the central crises of our time: our inability to forgive, and our obsession with inherited guilt.

What binds the celebrities featured in the Epstein files

The new naughty list just dropped, as the kids say these days. The pre-Christmas release of the Epstein files, or at least some of them – elves heavily redacted – has brought much-needed good cheer to all of us. Not every red face on Christmas afternoon will be down to port and brandy this year. And the cast of characters – Mick Jagger, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Richard Branson and all the rest – sounds like the guest list for the worst Graham Norton Christmas Special ever.

The release of the files as they stand, though, seems to me to add fuel to all sorts of conspiracy theories. In the first place, they really do seem to confirm what many of us normies have long suspected. The rich and famous really do pal around with each other in a way that transcends ideological divides.

The US or China? The Nation That Wins the Nuclear Fusion Race Wins Global Primacy

There continues to be a debate among global geopolitical analysts regarding whether the United States and China are engaged in a Cold War or a competition for global dominance.

The answer is irrelevant.

By anyone’s observation, China seeks to dominate the 21st century, and they will do so by “any means necessary.” In the process, they will use their military might to create a sphere of influence that is designed to cow nations that range from Japan to Australia to India.

‘Zionists’ condemned in Bondi terror video

Terrorists threw IEDs at the Chanukah event

… The pair are accused of throwing four improvised explosive devices at a Jewish crowd at Archer Park, which failed to detonate, before opening fire from a footbridge on the evening of Dec. 14.

Police said the pair parked their car on Campbell Parade in Bondi Beach at about 6:50 p.m. and then draped Islamic State flags over the front and rear windscreens. They then allegedly carried three firearms, three pipe bombs and a homemade “tennis ball bomb” as they walked toward the footbridge and began shooting at the Chanukah by the Sea gathering.

For decades, Canada’s military had no combat uniforms designed for women. That’s about to change

‘This isn’t a woke issue. This is a war-fighting issue’, said Lt.-Col. Melanie Lake

More than 30 years after Canada’s military allowed women to serve in combat roles, it’s now specifically designing uniforms and body armour to fit their bodies.

For decades, female soldiers have been wearing uniforms designed primarily for men and some say it has made their jobs harder, contributed to injuries and hurt morale.

Retired major Sandra Perron became the country’s first female infantry officer in 1990 and remembers being handed an extra-small men’s uniform.

Something VERY Fishy Is Going on With the So-Called MAGA ‘Split’ Over Israel

Once in Tampa Bay, I saw a big fat guy on a motorcycle. He was riding without a helmet — while chain-smoking cigarettes — and gripping a bag of Arby’s takeout.

That’s right: ARBY’S! (Gasp!) What a maniac!

I thought, “Wow, talk about not caring about your health even a little bit.”

Of course, it’s entirely possible that the guy was the pinnacle of health and fitness, with a lower cholesterol level than me. It’s possible he’ll live to 100, smoking Marlboros and gorging on Arby’s long after we’re all dead and buried.

You never know for sure.

Good read.

Globalizing the ‘intifada’ means war on Canada

Activists in Canada and elsewhere who want to “globalize the intifada” are effectively calling for the murder of Jews. There should be no doubt this is what the phrase means for many of those who would put it into action. To naively — or cynically — argue otherwise is to wilfully ignore reality and risk Canadian lives.

Good luck getting the law to accept that.
