Portland: Iconic Meals on Wheels charity pulls out of nightmarish Democrat-run city

Meals on Wheels has stopped operating in downtown Portland as its frustrated bosses say they can’t keep staff safe in the crime-ridden city.

The charity said this week it is closing its two facilities in the city, with frustrated Meals on Wheels Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Washington telling reporters it was a ‘long time coming.’

Washington lamented a lack of action to curb crime as the reason for the decision, which brought the charity’s 20-year stay at its popular Elm Court location to a close.

Osaka protests are just the start of Japan’s immigration backlash

In a highly unusual development for Japan, anti-immigration protesters this weekend marched through the streets of major cities including Osaka. These demonstrations followed growing fears that the government is planning to massively increase the numbers of African visa recipients in the country. The demonstrators, waving banners and placards that read “end mass immigration” and “protect the Japanese people”, were entirely peaceful. But the fact that such action occurred at all is a sign of a growing nervousness among the Japanese that their country’s traditionally strict immigration policy and low number of yearly arrivals may not be guaranteed in the future.

FILDEBRANDT: Alberta football coach sacked for his views on trans ideology

Alberta high school football coach Taylor “Teej” Johannesson keeps his politics off the field and out of the locker room, but his views landed him in hot water when a TikTok video of his found its way onto the screen of the school’s principal.

Posting under his handle AntiWoke55555, Teej’s nearly five-minute video says that trans-ideology is being pushed on kids who don’t need it, exacerbating their mental health issues. He says this is creating a dangerous situation with mentally unhealthy trans and other gender confused people committing major acts of violence, such as the mass shooting in Minneapolis last week.

‘The Canadian promise has been broken for all younger people,’ says B.C.’s Don Wright

The former head of B.C.’s civil service under NDP Premier John Horgan is one of many people who have stepped down from a high-powered job and taken advantage of the freedom to tell us how the world really works.

Highly informed retired, or semi-retired, professionals like Don Wright are a godsend to the public, to journalists and to any government officials willing to listen to their sometimes hard but necessary truths.

The group behind Project 2025 wants a ‘Manhattan Project’ for more babies

The conservative group behind the Project 2025 governing playbook for President Donald Trump’s second term is set to propose sweeping revisions to U.S. economic policy meant to encourage married heterosexual couples to have more children.

The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank headquartered a stone’s throw from the U.S. Capitol, wants lawmakers to create new government-seeded savings accounts — for married people only.

It hopes to steer funding for child care away from programs like Head Start and toward individual families — specifically to encourage parents to stay home and rear children.

And the group wants Trump to issue executive orders requiring all proposed policies and regulations to “measure their positive or negative impacts and marriage and family” — then overhaul or end programs that score poorly.

Democrats like murdering babies far too much.

Derek Burney: Action urgently needed as Canada-U.S. relations drift precariously

Does anyone really know where Canada’s tariff negotiations with the U.S. are headed? Despite a steady cavalcade of ministerial visits to Washington and efforts by individual premiers to engage, it is difficult to know what is being discussed, or whether anything has been agreed or rejected. We have been treated instead to airy platitudes: Talks are “progressing” or meetings “have been constructive,” etc. Messaging to the U.S. media has been obsequious, not crisp lest anything strong trigger an outburst by the unpredictable president.

I bet he did – Carney says he spoke with Trump in ‘good’ conversation on trade, geopolitics

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke at length with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday night.

Mr. Carney told reporters Wednesday on his way into a two-day meeting with his cabinet that it was a “good” conversation that touched on a range of issues including trade, geopolitics and labour.

I don’t think there’s an upside here. My impression is Trump is more than happy to let Carney wither on the vine.

CHARLEBOIS: Doug Ford’s pour decision a misguided one

Watching Ontario Premier Doug Ford theatrically dump a bottle of Crown Royal was one of the most misguided political gestures we’ve seen in some time — at least since the beginning of Canada’s recent trade dispute with the United States.

The Eisenhower Precedent: Is Trump Justified in Deploying the National Guard to Chicago?

If Eisenhower can deploy the National Guard to protect nine students, it is reasonable for Trump to send them to protect millions.

In 1954, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court held in Brown v. Board of Education that state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools were unconstitutional.

Three years later, the Arkansas branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) recruited nine African American students to attempt to integrate Central High School in Little Rock.

On September 4, 1957, the first day of school, a white mob gathered in front of Central High, and Governor Orval Faubus, a staunch segregationist, deployed the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the black students from entering.

New video showing ‘missing minute’ from Jeffrey Epstein’s cell on his last night contradicts DOJ’s explanation

Newly released surveillance video from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s New York prison cell the night of his suicide now shows the so-called “missing minute” that fuelled conspiracy theories about the pedophile’s death — contradicting the explanation from President Trump’s Department of Justice.

The surveillance clip was among the more than 33,000 pages of documents and videos tied to Epstein’s sex-trafficking probe that were released by the House Oversight Committee late Tuesday.

Stonewalled: RCMP Rejected U.S. Bid to Target Cartel–Indo-Canadian Trucking Routes as Cocaine and Meth Surged North

TORONTO — Canada’s federal police stonewalled a U.S. government request six years ago to jointly investigate a surge of Canadian commercial trucks traveling into the southern United States to pick up staggering amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from Mexican cartels and drive it back into Canada for consumption and onward shipment overseas, a U.S. official told The Bureau.
They said the refusal was another major example of non-cooperation between American and Canadian police—alongside allegations that the RCMP also blocked DEA efforts to probe the fentanyl superlab in Falkland, B.C.—and helps explain why cartel trafficking into Canadian cities has exploded in recent years.

Yes, Carney mostly caved on Trump’s tariffs. What else were Liberal voters expecting?

After several months of uncharacteristic jingoism, Canadians have come around to the idea that there are practical limits in politics, what with Prime Minister Mark Carney having recently removed certain retaliatory tariffs against the United States. In retrospect, it’s evident that for many Canadian voters, the emotional satisfaction of responding with “elbows up” rhetoric to what they perceived as U.S. President Donald Trump’s high-handedness took precedent over any analysis of their real interests in the matter.

You could see reality set in as commentators patiently explained that all this really was for the best. Of course, from the start, the odds that Carney would capitulate in this way might have been conservatively estimated at around 100 per cent.

In her statements before her death, Lakshmi had said that her husband Kishandas “routinely taunted her for being dark skinned”.

District Judge Rahul Choudhary in the northern city of Udaipur explained the death penalty saying the murder fell in the category of “rarest of the rare” and it was “a crime against humanity”.
