US forces strike third alleged drug vessel killing three, Trump says

President Donald Trump has said US forces carried out a “lethal kinetic strike” on a vessel which he said was trafficking drugs, and the attack killed three “male narcoterrorists” on board.

Trump said he ordered the attack on the boat, which was in the US Southern Command’s area of responsibility, after US intelligence confirmed it was trafficking drugs. It was the third such strike on alleged drug boats in recent weeks.

Trump’s statement on Truth Social on Friday said the strike happened in international waters. The US Southern Command’s area of responsibility covers most of South America and the Caribbean.

‘Sharp increase’ of known or suspected terrorists entering U.S. from Canada, FBI director testifies

FBI Director Kash Patel says there has been a “sharp increase of known or suspected terrorists” entering the U.S. through Canada.

He made the remarks during a U.S. house oversight hearing on Wednesday. Patel was responding to a question from Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley, who asked about the risk of terrorism posed by illegal border crossings.

Patel claimed that, since he rose to the helm of the bureau, there had been a significant drop in known or suspected terrorist crossings from the southern border, but a sharp increase from the north.

Jewish groups, antisemitism envoy urge politicians not to use hate to score points

OTTAWA – After an outgoing federal envoy denounced some politicians for using antisemitism as a “partisan” prop, Jewish Canadian leaders are now calling on political parties to stop using it to score political points.

“It maddens me when they use Holocaust Remembrance Day as an opportunity to even advance positive actions for the Jewish people,” said B’nai Brith advocacy head Richard Robertson.

“It becomes a form of tokenization.”

Omar: I Shared Video Blaming Kirk for His Own Death Because I Agreed with ‘a Lot‘ in It

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) stated that she reposted a video saying Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein and assassinated by his own monster “Because there were a lot of things in the video that I did agree with. Obviously, we share videos, we don’t have to agree with every single word, but I do believe he was a reprehensible, hateful man.”

Poilievre says there should be ‘billions of dollars’ in cuts to federal bureaucracy

As the federal government prepares its long-anticipated budget in November, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he would like to see “billions of dollars” in cuts.

“There needs to be billions of dollars of reductions in the federal bureaucracy,” Poilievre said in an interview with CTV Question Period airing Sunday.

Poilievre also said the federal government “should cut the budget for consultants by at least $12 billion.”

Poilievre can’t win on this issue.

We’ve already seen Carney backtrack on his earlier promise to make serious cuts.

Face it unionized government bureaucracy at all levels is an important vote bloc. Another of Canada’s 3rd Rails.

The problem for Canadians is the MSM has in large part become part of the Federal Bureaucracy thanks to government press subsidies.

Consequently the issue of civil service reductions will always be portrayed as wrongheaded, a danger to Canadians and its proponents heartless.

Globe & Mail Hacked? Editorial calls for end to TFW!

Globe Editorial – The necessary pain of ending the TFW dodge

If the postings on the government of Canada’s job bank site are to be believed, hardly anyone in this country wants to work, whatever the wage. Never mind rising unemployment, particularly among young Canadians. Good help, it seems, remains impossible to find.

Companies seeking permission to hire a temporary foreign worker must first prove that they could not find a Canadian willing to do that work. As of Thursday, there were 4,594 positions listed. The type of positions, and pay, vary wildly, everything from a psychiatrist position in Ottawa paying (at least) $450,000 a year to a slew of minimum-wage jobs in agriculture and food service.

About time. And I doubt that the corporate class will “suffer” much at all when the scam is gone.

Boo Hoo! The Liberals will lose a GDP dodge and the affinity vote bloc harvest.

Kirk Shooting Unleashes Flood of Conspiracy Theories

These are the facts: On Wednesday, Sept. 10, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was addressing hundreds of people at an event at Utah Valley University when, around 12:23 p.m., an assassin fired a bullet that tore through his neck and killed him.

Authorities arrested a suspect 33 hours later after a tip from his parents, based on surveillance footage shared by the FBI. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, had sent texts to his transgender lover confessing to the murder and suggesting a motive. “I had enough of his hatred,” one message read, referring to Kirk. “Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

New poll shows why Chairman Chow might not get re-elected

With just over a year until the Toronto municipal election, a solid majority of residents think it’s time for a new mayor, according to a public opinion survey that could signal trouble for incumbent Olivia Chow.

The poll of Torontonians conducted by Ipsos for the Star found 58 per cent want change in the city’s highest office, and 42 per cent believe Chow is doing well enough to deserve re-election.

There’s significant anxiety among residents about the direction of the city — six in 10 of poll respondents said Toronto’s best days are behind it — “and as a result of that, people look to what they can do in order to change that situation,” said Darrell Bricker, Ipsos global CEO of public affairs. “One of the things that they can do is elect a new mayor.”

Chow is not Mayor she barely qualifies as a figurehead. The city is run by the usual left wing lunatics and their toxic allies.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted just one right-leaning guest in past four years — and it came with a condition

An “incredibly pissed” Jimmy Kimmel failed to make a deal with his Disney bosses Thursday to return to the air — still balking at their push for him to publicly apologize for his Charlie Kirk remarks, sources say.

The furious ABC late-show host went to his lawyer’s office in Los Angeles that afternoon for a video meeting with Disney TV honcho Dana Walden and ABC late-night head Rob Mills to try to figure out a path forward for his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” sources told The Post.
