Chinese fentanyl kingpin with 20 aliases captured in Cuba

He worked in the shadows, using at least 20 aliases: some knew him as “Mr Haha” or as “Brother Wang”. To others he was “Mr T” or “Nelson Mandela” apparently reflecting his childhood heroes. To his neighbours in Mexico City, he was just “Pancho”.

His scruffy appearance and diminutive size gave few clues that he was, according to the US authorities, an immensely wealthy kingpin who bridged the gap between China and the two most powerful drug cartels in the world.

Canada Progresses From Land Acknowledgments to Property Confiscation

What if the asinine land acknowledgments by which moonbats in North America express their hatred of their own country are not just deranged virtue signaling? What if liberals actually follow through on the notion that our countries belong not to those who built them but to the descendants of the nomadic savages who wandered around in this region before civilization arrived?


Americans must regard us as loons.

Trump says Putin talks ‘don’t go anywhere’ as he imposes new sanctions

The US has announced new sanctions targeting Russia’s two largest oil companies – Rosneft and Lukoil – in an effort to pressure Moscow to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.

“Every time I speak to Vladimir, I have good conversations and then they don’t go anywhere. They just don’t go anywhere,” President Donald Trump said, after a meeting with Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte to discuss peace negotiations.

The sanctions announcement came one day after Trump said a meeting planned with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest would be shelved indefinitely.

John Robson: When Canada Is Demonized From Within, Everyday People Pay the Price

Canada stinks. Concentration camp/genocide stinks. They just want you to know that. And I’m not ranting about some unhinged radicals, or communist Chinese influencers. These calls are coming from inside the house.

The invaluable Blacklock’s Reporter, which avoids “experts say” or “sources say” for “documents say” journalism, reveals that “Cabinet in a briefing note likened Chinese concentration camps to Canada’s Indian Residential School system. Diplomats privately told Chinese Communist Party officials ‘not to repeat Canada’s past mistakes,’ said the document.”

King Charles and Pope Leo XIV held a historic joint prayer in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, the first time a British monarch and a Pope have prayed together publicly since Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church in the 16th century.

The prayer is the key moment in a two-day visit by the King and Queen to Rome and the Vatican designed to boost ties between the Vatican and the Church of England, of which Charles is the supreme governor.

DEI Gold Diggers Allege Racism!

Black staff at Global Affairs Canada allege systemic racism

OTTAWA — A group representing current and former Global Affairs Canada employees who are Black say the department doesn’t take their complaints about racism seriously.

The Black Class Action Secretariat, which is mounting legal challenges claiming systemic racism and discrimination in the public service, has been appealing a broader case involving the entire public service.

The group is citing cases of Global Affairs Canada staff whose complaints were rejected by internal panels before being upheld by the courts or outside commissions, without compensation.

Will it take a death for IOC to get a grip on boxing gender-row lunacy?

Hey Lin Yu-Ting is the wrong gender!

Disqualified from the 2023 World Championships for failing sex tests, Lin Yu-ting did not even bother appealing. While Algeria’s Imane Khelif initially protested to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the Taiwanese fighter offered no formal objection to test results indicating the presence of male chromosomes. And yet one year later, both of them were given carte blanche to compete on the grandest stage of all, the Olympic Games, with both winning every round of every bout en route to gold medals.

The reason for this travesty of justice was the spinelessness of the International Olympic Committee, so desperate to appease the gender ideologues that it sat back and allowed a procession of women to be smashed in the face by biological males.

Ottawa gave Stellantis $105M for Ont. plants before automaker revealed U.S. plans

After giving Stellantis close to $105 million to retool two Ontario plants, the federal government is now reviewing the contract to see if the automaker violated the deal by announcing it’s moving some production to the U.S.

Stellantis publicly revealed its plans last week to move its Jeep Compass production from Brampton, Ont., to Illinois.

Asked by CBC News if he wants to recover taxpayer money already given to Stellantis, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne suggested the government is taking action.
