Under Trump, Border Patrol arrests immigrants far from U.S.-Mexico border

The Trump administration is increasingly relying on Border Patrol agents to help carry out the president’s mass deportation plan and arrest immigrants in cities far from the nation’s southern border — a departure from the agency’s traditional role that some lawyers and advocates consider alarming.

In the past month, Border Patrol agents have swarmed a Los Angeles park on foot and horseback; taken immigrants into custody at a New York City courthouse; raided a cannabis farm in California’s Ventura County; and detained day laborers at Home Depot parking lots as far north as Sacramento.

Montreal Muslima Gets One Whole Day In Custody For Joining ISIS

Oumaima Chouay, who fled her home in Montreal nearly a decade ago to join ISIS in Syria, is the first person in Canada convicted for providing family support to a terrorist entity as a spouse.

Chouay was sentenced Monday to one day of custody, in addition to the 110 days she served in pretrial detention, according to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC). The 29-year-old also received a three-year probation order.

The sentence was a joint recommendation from the Crown prosecution and Chouay’s lawyer, Dominique Shoofey.

All a Muslim terrorist has to do to avoid jail is fake sincerity in Canada.

Her Jewicidal lawyer is beyond belief.

Russia using children to design and test its military drones, investigation finds

Russian authorities have systematically involved children in the design and testing of drones for the country’s war in Ukraine through nationwide competitions that begin with innocent-seeming video games and end up with the most talented students headhunted by defence companies, an investigation has found.

The revelations, part of an investigation by the exiled Russian news outlet the Insider, are the latest to show just how much Russia’s leaders are dragging the country’s youth into the war effort in Ukraine, with “patriotic” and militarised education often spilling over into outright participation.

“The kids are actively involved in modelling components of systems for various drones,” one of the teenagers involved told a journalist. “I know of several people at least who were modelling UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] components for major enterprises.”

It’s not surprising. The US Army created a highly regarded first person shooter some years back: America’s Army game sets five Guinness World Records

A Chinese research vessel returns to Arctic waters — and it appears Canada is watching

The Canadian military and possibly the coast guard appear to have been keeping tabs on a Chinese research vessel as it returns to Arctic waters off Alaska for the second year in a row.

Data compiled by an independent researcher and ship tracker, Steffan Watkins, shows a Canadian air force CP-140 surveillance plane was flying in the vicinity of the Xue Long (Snow Dragon) 2 as it exited the Bering Strait on Sunday.

The aircraft, according to Watkins’s research, relocated to Anchorage, Alaska, from its base in Comox, B.C., on July 9. It has conducted four patrols since then, including the most recent one involving the vessel, which is China’s first domestically built polar research ship.

Most US Abrams Tanks in Ukraine Now Lost, Captured, or Abandoned

When the United States delivered 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in September 2023, the move was heralded as a potential turning point in Kyiv’s fight against Russia, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calling them a “game changer.”

The Abrams, a symbol of American armored dominance, have dominated second- and third-tier militaries like Iraq’s in the 1991 Gulf War, where superior tactics and training, combined with the Abram’s advanced armor and fire control systems, allowed U.S forces to utterly dominate Iraqi armored forces. Yet, since their arrival in Ukraine, these “wonder weapons” have faltered badly. By July 2025, at least 22 of the tanks were destroyed, damaged, abandoned, or captured. Some estimates place this number as high as 27. This outcome, far from shocking, was predictable, as expectations based on triumphs over weaker foes like Iraq were wildly unrealistic.

The voices in the cockpit fuelling controversy over Air India crash

When the preliminary report into the crash of Air India Flight 171 – which killed 260 people in June – was released, many hoped it would bring some measure of closure.

Instead, the 15-page report further stoked speculation. For, despite the measured tone of the report, one detail continues to haunt investigators, aviation analysts and the public alike.

Seconds after take-off, both fuel-control switches on the 12-year-old Boeing 787 abruptly moved to “cut-off”, cutting fuel to the engines and causing total power loss – a step normally done only after landing.

CBC hands out record-breaking raises to offset loss of executive bonuses

OTTAWA — Just months after Canada’s national broadcaster announced the end of big-money bonuses to its senior execs, newly-obtained documents suggest the CBC handed out a record-setting amount of raises during the previous fiscal year.

In access-to-information documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the CBC handed out no bonuses in 2024-25, but awarded $37.7 million in wage hikes to 6,295 employees.

Does it really take 6K of people to make crap?

Trump to pull US out of UNESCO over DEI policies, pro-Palestinian, pro-China tilt

WASHINGTON — President Trump is pulling the US out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), citing its anti-America and anti-Israel leanings as well as its woke agenda, The Post has learned.

Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing any “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.”

Upon conducting the review, administration officials took issue with UNESCO’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies as well as its pro-Palestinian and pro-China bias, a White House official told The Post.

Trump thinks Canadians ‘nasty’ for avoiding U.S. travel, banning booze: ambassador

Canadians avoiding travel to the United States and banning American alcohol are among the reasons U.S. President Donald Trump thinks the country is “nasty” to deal with, the U.S. ambassador to Canada said Monday.

Pete Hoekstra told a conference audience on Monday that such steps “don’t send positive signals” about Canada treating the United States well.

Hoekstra was speaking at the annual Pacific NorthWest Economic Region Foundation summit in Bellevue, Washington.

AOC’s office vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s New York office has been vandalised after she voted against cutting US funding for Israel.

The outside of the Left-wing congresswoman’s office in the Bronx was smeared in red paint on Sunday, and a sign reading “AOC funds genocide in Gaza” in red letters was displayed on the shutters outside.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez, a long-time critic of Israel and the war in Gaza, angered many of her supporters on Friday when she broke with her progressive allies to vote against an amendment cutting millions of dollars in aid for Israel’s missile defence.

Geoff Russ: The data is in — fewer newcomers in Canada means lower rent

For too long, Canadians have been misled about the benefits of largely unchecked immigration growth.

Between 2016 and 2023, an average of 612,000 people were admitted annually to Canada on a permanent and temporary basis. There were assurances made that it was all beneficial, while the consequences for housing, wages, or jobs were downplayed.

While in the past a well managed immigration system has been good for Canada, the most recent data reveal the supposed benefits of the Liberals’ mass immigration plans were all a sham.

All immigration must cease and mass deportations instituted.

Pete Buttigieg’s DOT spent $80 billion on DEI grants, delayed air traffic control upgrades: records, industry insiders

WASHINGTON — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.

In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.

Lutnick Says Trump Will Renegotiate Trade Pact With Canada, Mexico Next Year

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said on Sunday that President Donald Trump will renegotiate the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) when the trade pact is due for review next year.

The USMCA, enacted during President Donald Trump’s first term in July 2020, replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The agreement requires that 75 percent of automobile components be made in the United States, Mexico, or Canada for a vehicle to qualify for tariff-free treatment. The trade agreement also mandates that up to 45 percent of parts and components be made by workers earning at least $16 per hour, according to the U.S. Trade Representative’s office.
