Welcome to Trump’s Lame-Duck Era

In the eve of an election that threatened to upend his presidency, Donald Trump went to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, where he had overseen a multimillion-dollar renovation that went awry when its new coating peeled and algae turned the water green. Aides hoped the President would focus on the concerns weighing on ordinary Americans: soaring gas prices, expensive groceries, a new war in the Middle East. Instead, Trump spent much of his 53-minute speech talking about construction projects rather than the struggles of the nation he had been elected to serve.

Trump a lame duck? Not gonna happen.

What Happens When AI Makes It Possible To Build A New Civilization?

Iain M. Banks imagined a civilization where abundance made ideological conformity unnecessary. Artificial intelligence could bring us closer to that possibility than most people realize.

Imagine a civilization where nobody has to convince anybody else how society should work.

Not because everyone agrees. Not because politics has disappeared. But because disagreement no longer requires a winner and a loser.

Is a Generational Political Revolt Brewing in Canada?

David Coletto – Building off my long read on Serbia, students, and generational politics, I recently joined Max Fawcett from Canada’s National Observer on Power Lines for a wide-ranging conversation about some of the forces reshaping politics in Canada and around the world.

A Canadian Generational Political Revolt will be a foreign orchestrated ultra-left pantomime.

Britain’s facial recognition drive is turning sinister

A day is a long time in immigration enforcement technology. On 4 November, the Guardian and campaign group Liberty reported on new Home Office plans to deploy Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology as part of a massive expansion in immigration enforcement.

Following a trial at the ferry port in Holyhead, where passengers enter the UK from the Republic of Ireland, LFR will now be deployed more widely. Cameras in public places and transport hubs will seek to identify visa-overstayers, as well as those already due for removal — or who were removed once, and are trying to return.

The Coming Persecution

In the wake of the November 3 midterm elections in which the Republican Party suffered major losses, the emboldened Democrats have already begun making it explicitly clear that their first order of business will be to target Donald Trump and his administration for retribution for perceived crimes, corruption, and abuses of the Constitution and the American people.

Joel Kotkin: MAGA is wounded. Here’s how Carney should respond

The MAGA wipeout has been greeted abroad as something of both a humiliation of President Donald Trump and the beginning of “normal” politics. Foreign leaders from Tehran to Brussels could hardly contain their glee.

Yet this should not be taken, as some may hope, as a permanent victory for the liberal globalist worldview that dominated during the Obama years. People, particularly today, are more likely to vote against someone, or a party, than for them. It was detestation of Hillary Clinton and then Kamala Harris that allowed the never widely popular Trump to get into office.

Progressives are as progressives do.

Italy: Tunisian migrant accused of sexual assault spree against teen victims disappears before court date

A 25-year-old Tunisian migrant charged with sexually assaulting two teenage girls in the center of the northern Italian coastal city of Oneglia in December 2022 remained free until his trial began this week. However, when he was supposed to stand trial, authorities declared him untraceable and ordered police to locate him.

WIECHNIK: The immigration gamble Canadians will face for generations

Budget 2026 has unveiled the Liberal government’s new immigration numbers, and at some point, we’re going to have to stop pretending this is just business as usual.

Canada is now set to take 380,000 new permanent residents a year and 370,000 new temporary residents a year in its plans for 2027 to 2029.

In the race to the bottom, Chinese landlords carve up a beat up old Vancouver shack (probably worth $2,500,000) to provide 21 sleeping rooms for Indian migrants, I am sure.

75 Per Cent of French Riot Court Sample Had Arabic–Muslim or African First Names

Three-quarters of a sample of suspects brought before French courts following last month’s mass riots bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names, according to an analysis by leading pollster Jérôme Fourquet.

The finding points to mounting indications of significant immigrant-background involvement in the looting and violence that, with the help of the far left, turned France’s protests over education and living costs into weeks of urban chaos.

Carney government aims to end homelessness within decade with billions in new spending

OTTAWA — The Carney government is aiming to end homelessness in the next decade with billions in new spending for social housing, mental health supports and benefits for those struggling to keep a roof over their heads.

The housing pitch is part of affordability measures in the budget that also include another boost to the GST rebate and other tax credits meant to help those struggling to make ends meet.

In his prepared remarks, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the budget was about “ensuring no Canadian is forced to sleep on the street because they don’t have a place to call home.”

Pledge upon meaningless pledge setting up the next great Liberal Slush Fund.

I fear we will see a California sized homeless funding fiasco. If you hear the words “Housing First” run in the opposite direction.

Here Are Some of the Monsters Gavin Newsom Removed From Death Row

Earlier, we told you how Gov. Gavin Newsom commuted the sentences of 548 California death row inmates. This was, once again, an undemocratic move by Newsom. In both 2012 and 2016, California voters rejected ballot initiatives to repeal the state’s death penalty. Proposition 34 (2012) was rejected 52-48; it would have abolished the death penalty and replaced it with life in prison without parole. Proposition 62 was rejected by similar margins, 53-47, which would have sped up the appeals process for the death penalty.

We’re looking on – and mourning – the end of the American-led world order

Every year on the 11th of November, Canadians remember those who fought and died in war so that we might live in peace. But in our times, remembrance is tinged with a sense of loss.

Friends are becoming adversaries, truths are upended, peace is at risk, freedom fades.

The Western alliance, forged and preserved for eight decades by the United States, is weakened, perhaps fatally.

An increase in military spending by deadbeat NATO members like Canada means less money Carney and his WEF pals can pocket.

Ilhan Omar: Untouchable With Democrats Back in Power

Ilhan Omar has plenty to celebrate. Another election victory and Democrats back in control of Congress. She’s dancing onstage, taking shots at President Trump, and celebrating her party’s return to power. Meanwhile, there’s that pesky federal investigation hanging over her head. But Omar doesn’t seem too worried. Maybe she’s counting on her fellow Democrats to make life a whole lot easier for her.
