Trump Is Changing the World Order With Unprecedented Speed

… Undocumented immigrants in some communities are skipping work and keeping their children home from school on concerns about Trump’s efforts to ramp up deportations. In Dallas, teachers are reporting to their labor union that some students have stopped attending classes, particularly at high schools, said Rena Honea, president of Alliance/AFT, the largest teachers’ union in Dallas. At one area high school, just under half of students were absent on Monday, for a total of roughly 900 who stayed home, one teacher said.

Trump Doubles CBS Lawsuit Damages After 60 Minutes Releases Unedited Harris Transcript

President Donald Trump’s legal team added new claims to its lawsuit against CBS News on Friday after 60 Minutes released the unedited transcript of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview that aired a month before the election.

Trump sued CBS in October for engaging in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion,” arguing the interview’s deceptive editing made Harris look more favorable. The $10 billion lawsuit was filed five days before the election. Two days after the transcript’s release, Trump doubled the damages incurred to $20 billion.

USAID Funneled Nearly $800 Million To ‘Gender Transformative’ Global Censorship Group

America’s foreign aid agency, USAID, has given nearly $800 million to a group that has pushed censorship and suppressed “heteronormativity” across the globe, according to documents reviewed by The Federalist.

It keeps getting worse – the US Treasury issues ONE BILLION a week in suspect payments and that’s a conservative estimate.

The Great Climate Fear Factory

If you found a worm in your sliced bread you would be horrified. You would probably share photos and outrage on social media and return the loaf to the shop you bought it from.

Consider then that mealworm powder has just been approved by the European Union as a novel food ingredient and is now legally allowed to constitute up to 4% of food products like bread, biscuits, cakes, cheese, pasta and potato-based snacks.

But why mealworms? Why bread? And why now?

A 22nd-century history book on our ‘fascist’ age

Yesterday, I watched an X video of a maybe 20-something woman berating me as a Trump voter for ignorance (vincible or invincible, she couldn’t decide).  I was told that future history books would tell us how “evil” these years were in the United States.  It would not “be about Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, but quite literally of right versus wrong.  It is about having morals or not.”  That I had, as a moral theologian, apparently not noticed that was a wake-up call.  I was grateful but scared to learn I live in such apocalyptic times.

How the Super Bowl stole football’s soul

Profit has replaced college pride

For Americans, bigger is always better. We “go big or go home”. Big Pharma makes our medicine and Big Tech builds our phones. We wash down Big Macs with Big Gulps and jam to Biggie Smalls. College football is much the same. “Big four” bowl games once rang in the New Year, and even now our “Big Ten” represent the best university teams in the land. But then, in 1967, big became supersized, when the National Football League (NFL) premiered the Super Bowl between America’s top two professional sides.

To this day, only the 1969 Moon landing has drawn more American eyeballs than the Super Bowl, with the 57th set to be played between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Now, though, the old college teams want to attract the eyeballs too, together with the billions in advertising revenue they inevitably bring. In practice, that means marketers, and trainers, and wages, and the end of an amateur tradition that’s survived, in one form or another, since the end of the Civil War.

How the Kim Philby of Kyiv infiltrated Team Zelensky

At a fashionable Moscow address a few blocks from the Russian prime minister’s office stands a gated office complex.

It is on the north bank of the Moskva, just across the river from Stalin’s towering Hotel Ukraine and a few minutes from one of Moscow’s best known Ukrainian restaurants. Those aren’t the only Ukrainian connections in the area.

Inside the complex at 12 Krasnopresnenskaya is the headquarters, secret until now, of an international spy network that infiltrated the highest ranks of President Zelensky’s government.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau Liberals say they were wrong about almost everything so re-elect them

Call it the great deception – the federal Liberals suddenly claiming they’ve seen the light on all of the mistakes they’ve made in governing Canada for almost a decade.

Throughout the ongoing Liberal leadership race, the candidates have been tacitly admitting that on major issue after major issue, their outgoing boss, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was wrong and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was right.

Trump: I won’t deport Prince Harry – he’s got enough problems with Meghan

Prince Harry can breathe freely in Montecito, because President Donald Trump has ruled out deporting the self-exiled British royal.

Harry’s immigration status is the subject of litigation in Washington DC, with the Heritage Foundation alleging that he may have concealed past illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa.

But the president told The New York Post Friday that he isn’t interested in throwing Harry out of the country.

Conrad Black: Time to toughen up, Canada

Those of us who confidently stated that in waving about 25 per cent tariffs against Canadian goods, U.S. President Donald Trump was just playing poker and raising the ante, appear to have been vindicated. Those who were preparing for guerrilla war, such as the Toronto Star editorial board and the worrisomely incoherent and oddly malicious Andrew Coyne, have been left to self-sedate in a quiet place and return to normal life when they are ready, without rushing it or being over-ambitious. It was outrageous, as I and others have written, for the U.S. government to treat Mexico and Canada alike. As our capable ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, pointed out on Fox News, when tourism and investment are taken into account, our trade relationship provides huge benefits for both Canada and the United States. And whatever grievances the Americans may think they have over the entry of undesirable people and dangerous drugs into their country across the northern border, we have at least as great a grievance over the flow of illegal firearms and migrants, who have fled across our border in fear of the new president’s threats to deport them. The United States has acknowledged that the flow of fentanyl from Mexico to the U.S. is nearly 500 times greater than the quantity that has come from Canada.

Booze, language laws and maple syrup? Here’s how interprovincial barriers impact your daily life

There’s been a lot of chatter about interprovincial trade barriers lately — namely, that Canada should remove them, with federal and provincial officials saying that opening up domestic trade could soften the impact of potential U.S. tariffs. But what are these barriers, and how do they impact our daily lives?

Just imagine that Canada’s 13 provinces and territories are each a small country, said Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University in Montreal.
