Hegseth rips impeachment effort in first press conference since May: ‘This is not patriotism. This is sabotage’

WASHINGTON — War Secretary Pete Hegseth went on a fiery tirade Tuesday against Rep. Thomas Massie over his bid to impeach the Pentagon chief, accusing the “rogue legislator” of “sabotage.”

Hegseth, who took the unprecedented step of campaigning against Massie’s (R-Ky.) bid for re-election earlier this year while leading the US military, insisted that he has done nothing worthy of being just the third cabinet official in US history to be impeached, adding: “This is not patriotism. This is sabotage.”

LILLEY: Carney’s sovereign wealth fund pick is more global than Canadian

LILLEY: Carney’s sovereign wealth fund pick is more global than Canadian

Mark Carney’s choice to head up Canada’s sovereign wealth fund is a Democrat donor and Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. Karen Karniol-Tambour, a resident of the affluent town of Norwalk, Ct., and currently the co-chief investment officer of an American hedge fund, will soon head up the Canada Strong Fund.

Carney always chooses the right grifter.

‘Another invasion’ – More illegal migrants have already landed on Spanish Canary Islands than all last year, could reach 30,000

‘Another invasion’ – More illegal migrants have already landed on Spanish Canary Islands than all last year, could reach 30,000

The Spanish Canary Islands have already recorded more irregular sea arrivals in 2026 than in all of 2025, with police reports indicating the archipelago could close the year above 30,000 people.

A sharp late-year acceleration, concentrated on the small island of El Hierro, has overwhelmed local services and drawn sharp criticism from regional leaders and right-leaning parties in Spain.

Fifteen Canadian soldiers remain on ventilators more than three weeks after the deadly fire at CFB Wainwright, according to information obtained by Global News.

Activists hoist Palestinian flag at Germany’s Reichstag

An anti-Israel protester scaled a 30m pole outside the Reichstag to replace the German flag with a Palestinian one.

The 22-year-old climbed the flagpole in Berlin’s Platz der Republik on Sunday and threw the Flag of Unity to the ground. The 60 sq metre banner is the largest national flag in Germany.

While suspended at the top of the mast, the Peacefully Against Genocide activist unfurled the Palestinian flag with the assistance of two other men, who were 20 and 32.

The Feminization Of America

The Feminization Of America

In 1920, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, America commenced an experiment whose consequences are still unfolding. Women’s suffrage was only the beginning. Over the ensuing century, women steadily expanded their influence in work, education, government, politics, nonprofits, NGOs, and institutions shaping American life. Women now outnumber men on college campuses and have begun to dominate certain institutions.

Welcome to the Age of Yookay Hieroglyphics

Welcome to the Age of Yookay Hieroglyphics

One of the markers future historians will use when describing the New Dark Ages will be the collapse in the use of the alphabet in favour of ‘Yookay Hieroglyphics’. A demoralising development has emerged: a whole new form of pictographic language whereby children and young adults engage in hours-long online conversations with each other without the need for any letters, texts or words. Such conversations largely occur on gaming platforms, Snapchat and WhatsApp, and mark a classic regressive step in civilisational decline.

Did the MAGA Movement Forget What Populism Is?

Did the MAGA Movement Forget What Populism Is?

Last Tuesday’s election wasn’t a blue wave or even a blue tsunami: It was a blue apocalypse.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who leads the one notable bright spot on the map, referred to the wipeout as “close to an extinction-level event” for the GOP. It was the worst midterm defeat for one party in over a half-century.

Much of the postmortem conversation has focused on why this massacre happened. Was it the Iran war? Was it the tariffs? Was it corruption? Was it the “Epstein files” mess?

Why nobody stopped Russell Brand

Why nobody stopped Russell Brand

It’s always the ones you most expect. That, at least, has been the conclusion online after the rape conviction of Russell Brand. Rather than admit that Brand’s conspicuous, hypersexual persona was a rather effective sleight of hand — one which successfully distracted production companies and audiences from his criminal private life for two decades — social media has spent the past week telling itself it can spot a wrong’un a mile off. So it is that long-buried clips of Brand making rape jokes on Channel 4 quiz shows have popped up on our timelines: see, these posts say, this is what a rapist looks like.

FORSETH: Mass immigration targets are a Liberal political calculation

FORSETH: Mass immigration targets are a Liberal political calculation

Ottawa plans to hold immigration levels mostly steady over the next three years, according to Budget 2026. The Liberals claim the updated immigration plan aims to strike “a balance” that favours the needs of the economy, housing, healthcare, and social services. Such claims have not been true in the past and are unlikely to be true going forward.
