US Treasury chief Scott Bessent is reportedly latest Trump official to move to military base

The US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, has relocated from his home in the Washington area to a military base after an Iranian threat against his life, the New York Times has reported.

Bessent has spearheaded a US push to cripple Iran’s economy since the start of the Middle East war, vowing “economic asphyxiation” of the Islamic republic through a web of sanctions.

He is one of a number of senior figures in the Trump administration including the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, to leave their home to live on a military base or protected housing.

The benefits of importing Islam just never end!

China’s spies have long been rampant in Silicon Valley

Allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy have rocked the tech world and Washington, but U.S. counterintelligence officials have long warned that Silicon Valley is a prime target for Chinese and other foreign intelligence services.

Chinese and Russian spying in Silicon Valley, along with similar activities by U.S. allies such as France and Israel, has long been something of an open secret. But tech companies and U.S. government officials have sometimes sought to downplay or suppress suspected espionage-related probes over fears that public exposure might wound firms’ business interests, say former FBI officials.

Canadian Army slashing reserves as it builds up regular forces

The Canadian Army is cancelling training and cutting reserve jobs on the eve of Remembrance Day and at a time of unprecedented military spending.

In an effort to grow the regular army, the military is targeting the reserves “because it’s easier to cut,” said Bryan Brulotte, a retired infantry captain who spent a combined 30 years in the regular force and army reserves.

“The regular army’s budget for personnel is very difficult to manipulate and to cut,” said Brulotte.

Three Iran-backed suspects plotted attacks including RAF Fairford incident, US says

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced charges against three Iran-backed operatives that it alleges were involved in a string of plots in the US and Europe.

The DOJ said Iranian agents most recently “orchestrated a terrorist plot at an air force base in the United Kingdom”, saying they were involved in the major incident in September near RAF Fairford in the UK, where US armed forces were stationed.

One man, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, is accused of communicating with contacts in the UK from a prison in New York where he is awaiting trial on previous charges. The other two are accused of doing the same from Iran.

Biden emerges in Ireland to watch son Hunter get gold medal for an insane reason

Former President Joe Biden, who recently announced he was too sick with cancer to do a book tour for his new post-White House memoir, popped up in Ireland Tuesday to watch his son get a gold medal from the nation’s top university.

Hunter Biden, known for his laptop leak featuring images of him in the depths of his drug addiction with prostitutes and a pistol — and more recently profanity-laced social media posts and videos — was honored for his “Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse.”

Save some milk cartons for Carney.

🇺🇸🇮🇪 Joe and Jill Biden’s visit to Dublin ended with protesters throwing MILK CARTONS at them.

The former president was at Trinity College to watch Hunter Biden receive a medal for his contribution to public discourse.

Yes, HUNTER BIDEN.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside, shouting “Genocide Joe” over his administration’s handling of Gaza.

When the Bidens left, protesters threw objects toward them, with security reportedly using umbrellas to block the milk cartons.

Irish police arrested at least TWO people.

What was supposed to be a family celebration turned into a rather chaotic exit.

The Carney government’s immigration targets are a fib and a dodge

My fellow Canadians, I am pleased to present Tony Keller’s 2026-27 diet targets.

As promised, these involve a significant reduction in my daily caloric intake, compared to my previous Trudeau Diet. As promised, next year will see me maintain the lower caloric levels adopted this year.

I would march on Ottawa.

Stellantis must pay back ‘every penny’ it got from Ottawa, Pierre Poilievre says

OTTAWA — Stellantis must pay back “every penny” it received in subsides and support from the federal government, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday, following the automaker’s announcement that it is selling its idled assembly plant in Brampton.

The Conservative leader also called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to fire Industry Minister Melanie Joly, charging she had failed to protect jobs at the Stellantis plant and at Stelco’s steel plants.

“She wrote yesterday that workers deserve answers. Minister, they deserve their damn jobs and Canadians deserve their damn tax dollars,” Poilievre told reporters in Brampton.

Carney and his liars …

Wow.
CEO Roman Shimonov of Roshel just admitted he told the Carney Government months ago they were going to buy the Stellantis Brampton plant, the BNN host say then surprised why are they acting angry over the news?
Guess what, that’s exactly what they are doing, ACTING as to not look bad to the 2000 workers out of a job. Our Government pretending to act surprised about all of this is a scandal. They knew full well what was going on.

Germany: Syrian asylum seeker who raped 16-year-old girl released after just 40 days, now on trial for gang-raping second victim under bridge

A Syrian asylum seeker convicted of raping a 16-year-old in a Munich asylum center was released after just six weeks of pre-trial detention and then went on to gang-rape a woman. The case is drawing yet another round of outrage over how German prosecutors balance detention rules against victim protection and public safety in cases involving migrants.

Changes to temporary foreign worker program could increase lower wage hirings

Changes to the federal government’s much-maligned Temporary Foreign Worker Program could beef up lower-wage employees from outside the country.

On Friday, Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, said the changes will “strengthen” the program, created to address labour shortages in critical sectors where there are not enough Canadian workers to fill the gaps.

“COULD”?
