The Trump administration’s Department of Transportation has brought back shaming, and anyone who flies even just once per year should fully support it.
Back in December 2021, aboard American Airlines to Cancún for a Christmas-time family vacation, I asked the flight attendant if the airline had started serving alcohol again. “No,” he said, “not until the passengers start acting right.”
As a Catholic, I’ve always thought the argument about women priests was a waste of time. There aren’t going to be any, given Catholic Church doctrine. The Vatican is lately stringing the wokester women of the Church along on maybe deacons, but that’s settled, too, the answer will be ‘no.’ It’s hardly something to get upset about. Being a priest is just a role, and it doesn’t give anyone an express route to Heaven if they don’t behave. Why fuss about different roles played and insist on changing tradition which dates back to the Apostles when the idea is to just get to Heaven?
TORONTO — On the path to becoming the first Canadian of genuine Latin American cartel stature — a man the FBI has likened to a “modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar” — Ryan Wedding did not simply exploit Canada’s borders, ports and highways to move cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Prosecutors say he became the single largest cocaine importer into Canada, building a billion-dollar enterprise by mastering cryptocurrency money-laundering, legal strategy, paramilitary training and the kind of hardened operational security usually associated with state intelligence agencies.

President Donald Trump on social media has pointed out that the penalty for the refusal of military troops to obey orders is serious.
Punishment up to and including execution.
The response from the president came after a list of Democrats made a video urging federal employees, including members of the military, to refuse to obey what they called, without a definition, “illegal” orders.
HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt just went NUCLEAR on the Democrat officials who called on US service members to DEFY Trump’s orders

Charlotte, N.C., is making headlines this week because dozens of construction sites have gone silent. ICE swept through the region, and the labor force evaporated almost instantly. A major American city discovered, in real time, that its building boom was being held together by workers who couldn’t legally be there. Watching that footage hit me hard, because I’ve seen it before — not on the evening news, but in the slow collapse of my own childhood community.
The Cowichan followed a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997, Delmaguukw, which held that in the absence of a treaty ceding their lands, any band is entitled to aboriginal title over any area to which they can prove their ancestors had exclusive possession in 1846.
And the court decided that to assist bands in proving the fact of possession in 1846, the band could introduce 7th generation hearsay evidence, passed down through generations, as to what land was occupied in 1846. This reversed a common law prohibition against first hand hearsay evidence that applies in every other lawsuit that goes before the courts.

The scandal surrounding alleged ‘human safaris’ during the siege of Sarajevo has escalated, with the fresh allegation that Serbia’s current president participated in the hunting trips of unarmed civilians.
Aleksandar Vučić, who took office in 2017, has been accused of taking part in grotesque expeditions where wealthy foreign tourists would shoot at people with snipers during the four-year Bosnian Serb siege of the city in the 1990s.
Between 1992 and 1996, more than 10,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by shelling and sniper fire in the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare.
The kind of story you want to see debunked.
Defeat, political implosion and civil war – those are the jeopardies that Volodymyr Zelensky faces as Ukraine heads into the most difficult and probably the last winter of the war. Evermore effective Russian strikes against Ukraine’s energy and transport infrastructure are likely to plunge swaths of the country into cold and darkness. Russian troops continue to push forwards slowly and bloodily in Donbas and, more dangerously, on the southern flank in Zaporizhzhia. Desertions from the Ukrainian army are up four times since last year and the number of deserters now matches the number of active fighters. The US has turned off the money taps and Europe struggles to produce the cash Kyiv needs to keep its war effort going.
In WW II the USA had a rough total of 122,354 deserters and conscientious objectors across all service branches.
Of the 72,354 CO’s 37K served in non-combat roles i.e. Medics or in civilian service.
Ukraine just had 100K of young fighting age men literally flee the country joining an estimated total of 650K who have fled since the war began.
Update: Senior US officials confirm details of 28-point plan to end Ukraine war
WASHINGTON — The US’ sweeping 28-point blueprint to end the nearly four-year war between Russia and Ukraine proposes territorial freezes, troop caps, economic reintegration for Moscow, and a future “Peace Council” chaired by President Donald Trump, senior US officials confirmed exclusively to The Post.
The plan, which Kyiv and Moscow have not publicly accepted, outlines the most detailed picture yet of what Washington foresees as a way to end the war — and was built on weeks of US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s consultations with both the Russians and Ukrainians, the officials said.
I wonder if Freeland is fleeing Ukraine’s sinking ship or will she keep her job as Zelensky’s Bagman?

When Canadians hire someone to represent them in Ottawa, they shouldn’t be stuck with them for four years, even if they do a terrible job.
If you hired an employee who lied on their résumé, broke company rules or stopped showing up for work, you’d fire them.
But when a politician does the same thing, voters are forced to sit on their hands until the next election.
Julianna Smith, a Concordia Student Union staffer, has been barred indefinitely from all university property for her alleged involvement in protest activities that took place on Oct. 6. On Oct. 7, the two-year anniversary of the terrorist attack in Israel, Concordia became the only university in the world to close out of concern that it could not protect its campus community. And it seems that Concordia’s own student union and at least one of its associations may be at least partially responsible.

“Water water, every where, Nor any drop to drink,” from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a suitable motto for the Islamic Republic of Iran. With the Persian Gulf in the Southwest, the Sea of Oman in the South, and the Caspian Sea (an inland brackish water lake) in the North, Iran is surrounded by water, yet there is very little to drink.
Iran’s experts, of course, blame Israel and the U.S, for manipulating the weather (and the women who do not wear hijabs properly, ed.)and causing a drought so severe that the Islamic Republic’s president says he may “have to evacuate Tehran.”
There have been 13 cases flagged so far as potential conflicts of interest for Prime Minister Mark Carney, his top public servant said Wednesday, and screens were ultimately enacted in six of them.
Privy Council Clerk Michael Sabia, who heads the public service and serves as deputy minister to Mr. Carney, testified at the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday. The committee is studying the Conflict of Interest Act.
Bruce Flatt in case you don’t know is Carney’s old colleague and the head of Brookfield Asset Management.
And Carney just happens to follow him on business trips around the world totally completely unplanned by ACCIDENT.
