Trump threatens to send US military into Nigeria with ‘guns-a-blazing’

Donald Trump has threatened to send the US military into Nigeria with “guns-a-blazing” if the African country does not stem what he described as the killing of Christians by Islamists.

Mr Trump said on on Saturday that he had asked the Pentagon to map out a possible plan of attack, one day after warning that Christianity was “facing an existential threat in Nigeria”.

Billion-dollar government deals with Stellantis, NextStar for EV battery plant revealed

Confidential government deals worth billions of dollars to help fund a Stellantis-backed electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont., carry dozens of conditions that, if violated, give federal officials the power to end the agreements and even force repayment in some cases, according to copies obtained by CBC Windsor.

It is unclear, however, if the contracts contain guarantees related to the company’s broader footprint in Canada, as elected officials have claimed. Some portions of the documents are redacted, so the full terms of the agreements are unknown.

BERNARDO: Saskatchewan’s line in the sand — Ottawa must pay full compensation for confiscated firearms

As most affected firearms owners already know, Ottawa placed a funding cap on its “voluntary” Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme, saying if you wait too long to surrender your guns, you’ll get nothing.

They’ve announced $742 million for compensation, but even federal officials acknowledge that this falls far short of full compensation for affected firearms owners.

New York Reruns: What Mamdani Means for New York

As the world waits for New York’s first Islamo-Communist mayor—hailed alike by the overtly malicious and the terminally stupefied—it may be worth stepping back to ask what the advent of Zohran Mamdani, the pampered 34-year-old rich kid who was born in Uganda, tells us about the decay of liberalism.

In many ways, Mamdani—who, as I write this, is a comfortable 10-15 points ahead in the polls—is just the latest avatar of the AOC-Ilhan Omar wing of the Democratic party. He loves talking about (re)distributing the wealth of others, defunding the police, arresting Benjamin Netanyahu, and penalizing “landlords,” which last is just one of his many code words for Jews.

Four legs good, two legs bad: Dispatch from the EU vegan front line

meat and guns

SEVEN members of the European Parliament have signed a Declaration that calls upon UN member states to shift their societies to plant-rich diets. It will be presented at the UN climate summit, COP30, which starts in Brazil in eight days. The signatories are Anna Strolenberg and Anja Hazekamp from the Netherlands, Denmark’s Sigrid Friis, Germany’s Sebastian Everding, Jutta Paulus and Maria Noichi, and Luxembourg’s Tilly Metz. JOHN ELLWOOD, TCW’s ace investigative reporter on all things Euro, managed to infiltrate the event that launched the Declaration. This is his report.

The fall of Andrew reveals the folly of monarchy

So the slow-motion defenestration of the Andrew formerly known as Prince continues.

Following a ‘discussion with the king’ earlier this month, he had already been forced to give up the title of the Duke of York, as well as membership of Order of the Garter, the most senior order of knighthood in Britain’s honours system. If the royal family’s intention was to draw a line under the scandal-ridden Andrew – forever sullied by his friendship with the world’s most notorious nonce, Jeffrey Epstein – it failed spectacularly. The publication a few days later of Nobody’s Girl, the posthumous memoir of poor Virginia Giuffre, saw to that.

These Fractured Isles: Britain’s Drift Towards Civil War

The first shot of the American Civil War was the Confederate bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbour on April 12th 1861. Of course, no serious historian begins the tale there. Wars of brothers do not erupt in a single day. Beneath the first cannonade lay a generation of corrosion – of trust, wealth and truth. Civil wars begin not with gunpowder but with people ceasing to believe in the same story.

The United Kingdom, our confection of islands and illusions, now trembles on a similar fault line. The question that once belonged to the margins – could Britain experience civil war? – has migrated, awkwardly, to the mainstream.

Will Trump’s Tariff Deal Tilt the Playing Field Back Toward China?

For Travis McMaster, the general manager of Cocoon USA, an outdoor and travel brand, ordering products from his foreign suppliers this year has been a lot like gambling.

After reading the news of a trade truce between the United States and China last week, Mr. McMaster was relieved to have finally gotten a win. He estimated that President Trump’s decision to lower tariffs on Chinese products would save him roughly $30,000 in tariff costs on a shipment the company has coming in from China this week — enough to perhaps hire another seasonal employee in the small Washington town where Cocoon is based.

‘We Just Had an Asset Go Down’: Unexplained Military Crash Near Area 51 Sparks Cover-Up Claims

Investigators and UFO sleuths are accusing authorities of an extensive cover-up five weeks after a classified military aircraft went down near Nevada’s notorious Area 51.

The incident occurred September 23 on public land adjacent to Highway 375 — famously dubbed the “E.T. Highway” — just outside the boundaries of the secretive military installation located 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

According to investigative journalist George Knapp of KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, who specializes in UFO and military affairs, the official military explanation leaves more questions than answers.

Britain Is Failing to Keep Its People Safe

Deng Chol Majek had been in the UK for less than three months when he murdered hotel worker Rhiannon Whyte. Almost exactly a year ago, he stabbed the 27-year-old mother 23 times with a screwdriver while she waited for a train at Bescot Stadium station, Walsall. After throwing Whyte’s phone into the river, Majek left her for dead. He then went to buy some beers and returned to the Park Inn Hotel, where Whyte was employed and which had been turned into an asylum centre. One witness described him as “drinking, smoking and just chatting amongst his group of friends … having a good time.”

Mark Carney is plunging Canada further into an Islamo-Leftist dystopia

For outdoorsy pursuits, Canada is in the very top of the leagues. The best skiing in the world is arguably at Whistler near Vancouver; I was blown away by my childhood experience there, almost literally, for there is a constant barrage of fresh snow. It is generally very wintry in Canada and it is the world’s great ice hockey nation.

Nature is big and beautiful throughout the northernmost Commonwealth land in all seasons, and if you have disposable income, you can eat very well too. There is first-rate sushi, Franco-American dishes like the famous poutine, which is a mishmash of chips doused in meat and gravy, and craft beers galore. There is even a mini-slice of France, north American-style, in Montreal and Quebec, where the majority still speak French (for now).

Will Carney’s budget finally reveal where the prime minister is taking Canada?

The Liberals won the election on Carney’s promise to “win” the trade war with Trump. So now what?

OTTAWA — Mark Carney never promised he’d be easy to understand. It was more like the opposite. Near midnight the day before this spring’s federal election, the prime minister joked to a crowd of
Vancouver Islanders in sweaters and anoraks about how politicians who campaign in poetry tend to govern in prose. Ever the technocrat, Carney would go much further than that.

“Imagine,” he said with a grin. “I’m going to govern in econometrics.”


He’s taking us to China if he can get away with it.

The intifada has entered our hospitals

What’s happening to our doctors? Researchers at an organisation called Do No Harm recently found that American healthcare professionals were more than two times likelier to be anti-Semitic than their share of the workforce, and that physicians are nearly 26 times overrepresented among individuals identified as having publicly shared anti-Semitic content. This is a worrying tendency which seems common across the West. A few weeks ago a UK-based doctor was accused of denying the Holocaust and celebrating the Hamas attacks of 2023; in August a doctor in Liverpool who praised Adolf Hitler was let back into work; a med-school student in Quebec was revealed in October to be the moderator of a Discord channel hosting anti-Semitic slurs; earlier this year two Australian nurses were suspended for threatening Jewish patients.

Barbara Kay: The Islamic takeover of Ontario’s public schools

During Israeli Apartheid Week in 2008, the University of Toronto hosted a conference of a newly formed group called High Schools Against Israel Apartheid. Ominously, the conference room was closed to all adults — teachers, parents and media — so we don’t know the particulars of the closed session led by extreme anti-Zionist activists.

This was a pivotal, barrier-crossing event. Organized radical anti-Zionism had up to then targeted (nominal) adults on campus; now they were engaging with lower-hanging fruit in younger, more vulnerable hearts and minds.
