WTF?
Baier: Why did you spend $221K on private jets to your 'fighting oligarchy' rallies?

Donald Trump humiliated Mark Carney
Donald Trump’s meeting with Canadian prime minister Mark Carney on Tuesday got off to a positive enough start. They greeted each other in a pleasant manner. Their handshake was cordial. They got down to business.
Before Carney arrived in Washington DC a few hysterical voices in the media had suggested that it was destined to turn into a confrontational shouting match. That was never likely. Yes, many Canadians are furious at Trump due to the ongoing tariff war. Yes, Carney played up this rhetoric during the election campaign. During his victory speech, he said Trump wanted to “break us, so that America can own us” and “that will never, ever happen”.
Black Smoke Rises From Sistine Chapel As Thursday Morning Voting Concludes Without a Pope
Black smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel at 11:51 am Rome time on Thursday, signaling that the cardinals voting at the conclave have not yet elected a new pope.
The plume of dark smoke indicates that the 133 cardinal electors sequestered inside the chapel have not reached the required two-thirds majority — at least 89 votes — needed to elect a successor to Pope Francis, who died on April 21.
Majority of Canadians feel unwelcome and unsafe travelling to United States: new poll
More than half of Canadians no longer feel welcome or safe travelling to the United States, according to a new poll.

This Canadian pharmacist is key figure behind world’s most notorious deepfake porn site
David Do is, on the surface, unassuming and respectable. He owns a house just outside Toronto with his partner, drives a Tesla and is paid $121,000 a year as a hospital pharmacist.
But he leads a double life as a key person behind the world’s most notorious website for non-consensual, AI-generated porn of real people: MrDeepFakes.com. He has never been fully identified until now.
MrDeepFakes was the most popular site globally for deepfake porn, and hosted tens of thousands of non-consensual and sometimes violent deepfake videos and images of celebrities, politicians, social media influencers and private citizens, including Canadians.
Ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!! – Canadian PM Carney targeted by viral deepfakes on social media
Will India and Pakistan go to war? We assess the risk of a nuclear exchange
Last week, militants killed 26 civilians, mostly tourists, in Kashmir, the disputed region between India and Pakistan.
The killing of 26 civilians would be bad news anywhere in the world, but in Kashmir, it could be far worse. Tensions between the two nations have always been high, ever since they were split up in the partitioning of British India in 1947, but in recent years they have increased still further.
Kashmir is often at the centre of those tensions. Although formally part of India, it has been granted special, largely autonomous status since partition, but in 2019 India effectively ended that, leading Pakistan to downgrade diplomatic relations and suspend trade.

The Enemy We Face
America is being invaded from the outside, but the greatest assault is coming from within.
When the term “fifth column” was coined, it referred to four columns attacking from the outside and one, a fifth column, attacking from the inside. These days the numbers have switched and we have one column coming from the outside, and four columns striking at us from the inside.
Joe Rogan mocks Canada for re-electing Liberals, claims Pierre Poilievre turned down podcast offer
Joe Rogan is stupefied by the Liberals’ return to power last month after the party had fallen to historic lows under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
Hunting podcaster Cameron Hanes brought up the government’s handling of the trucker protest in the nation’s capital back in 2022. The “Freedom Convoy” descended on the city on Jan. 22 to protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Big rigs blocked off major streets and drew thousands of supporters, both in real life and virtually.
NEW: Joe Rogan calls out Canada for voting back into power the same party that tried to silence them and take their banking away: “Good job, Canada!” pic.twitter.com/foeUZ81yKO

The crackdown on the AfD is an assault on democracy
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), has officially classified the right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a ‘proven right-wing extremist organisation’. Although the BfV has no powers of its own to take further action against the AfD, the classification alone marks a shocking escalation in the establishment’s crackdown on this insurgent party.

Move over Karmelo Anthony, there’s a new accused killer darling on the scene.
Rodney Hinton, Jr., a black man from Ohio, reportedly ran down a retired white police officer who was directing traffic for a college graduation—and Hinton has garnered generous support, both from the black community and the left. The officer allegedly murdered by Hinton was a man named Larry Henderson, a public servant who dedicated more than three decades of his life to his community, serving across a number of different law enforcement agencies.
Social media users are praising Cincinnati father Rodney Hinton for m*rdering a random police officer after his son was shot by police in a carjacking incident.
People have lost their d*mn minds.

Canada Did Not Make America Great
Smart people who dislike President Trump are capable of saying the stupidest things. Take, for example, Hal Brands, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, whose latest column in Bloomberg is titled “Canada Made America Great.” Even if Brands didn’t pick the title, his article expresses concern that President Trump’s hostility to our northern neighbor will in “military, geostrategic and moral terms … bring a heavy price” to U.S. national security policy. “Trump,” he writes, “is tempting America’s neighbor to seek security by aligning with outside powers,” namely the U.K. and Europe. Brands knows, of course, that Canada is already aligned with the U.K. and much of Europe in NATO. But he implies that a hostile Canada would be a threat to U.S. security.
Inside the mystery of the ‘lost German girl’
For years, ever since the footage appeared in TV documentaries and online, the identity and fate of the so-called ‘Lost German Girl’ has proved captivating.
Dressed in a nondescript uniform and with a swollen face betraying that she had been savagely beaten, she was seen walking down a road in liberated Czechoslovakia.
The date was May 7, 1945, the very day that Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies after the suicide of Adolf Hitler in his Berlin Bunker.
This is the closest I could find to the original footage shot by Haglund it is only available on YouTube.
The footage shows living SS men who were later filmed dead by the road side having been the subjects of reprisal.
Why Trump?
The question comes to me from more and more Europeans these days: “Do you still support Donald Trump after all of this?”
By “all of this,” they usually mean the bizarre and destructive tariffs regime the White House rolled out in April, on what Trump called “Liberation Day.” But there is more, of course: Trump’s harsh deportation regime against illegal migrants, his substantive assault on universities, his wrecking of the NATO alliance, his weird trolling of Canada (“America’s 51st State”) and Denmark, over Greenland, et cetera.
