Hamas’s Latest Trick: Leaving Government, Keeping Weapons

Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 massacre and more than six months after President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point peace plan called for the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Hamas has announced that it is dissolving its de facto governing body and is prepared to hand authority to a committee of Palestinian technocrats.

At first glance, the announcement appears to represent an important concession. It is not. It is merely Hamas’s latest attempt to deceive the international community into believing that it is complying with the requirements of the Trump peace initiative while preserving what matters most to the terrorist organization: its military power.

GOLDSTEIN: Oil sands carbon storage is another $20-billion boondoggle

One of the things preventing Canada from becoming an energy superpower in an energy-hungry world is that our federal government keeps doing stupid stuff.

Justin Trudeau did it for a decade, undermining Canada’s growth by making it economically impossible to build oil pipelines without the government buying them.

LGBTQ+ cruise ship refused entry to Egypt days after Turkey turned it away

An LGBTQ+ cruise ship blocked from Turkish waters this week has been refused entry into Egypt.

The Scarlet Lady’s 2,000 passengers, including the Broadway performer Patti LuPone, woke on Thursday morning to find a note placed under their cabin doors informing them that the ship was urgently looking for alternative ports.

I don’t hear much anguish from the left on this.

ICE Charges Woke Doxxer and Targets Chihuahua-Killing Illegal Alien

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a serial anti-ICE doxxer and requested custody for a deportee who re-entered the United States and shot a small dog.

The first story regards Gregory John Curcio, a 68-year-old Santa Monica resident. He hates ICE so passionately that he has not only doxxed an ICE agent, putting her at risk of assault from wacko activists, but he also repeatedly harassed the agent’s mother, who lived in the same building as him.

Corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints as Carney abruptly closed it down

A corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints right up until the point Prime Minister Mark Carney announced its dissolution — seemingly out of nowhere — despite saying the decision to discontinue the office was made “months” earlier.

The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE) was introduced under former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2019 to investigate potential human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies operating abroad.

‘It was back-to-back explosions’: Iranians recall 48 hours of terror after US attack on port cities

Residents in southern Iran have described two nights of fear this week after explosions shook coastal communities as the US launched fresh strikes on targets including the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik.

US Central Command confirmed the attacks, saying they were carried out to “further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the strait of Hormuz”.

For residents in Posht-e Shahr, Bandar Abbas, back-to-back explosions marked another night of terror as they scrambled to check on friends and family. Noor, a teacher who lives near the fishing pier, said this week’s strikes were stronger than most in recent months.

It’s a Guardian story so naturally all Iranians are fighting the good fight against the evil Trump.

Canada’s Ukraine aid tops $26.7 billion with another $925 million gift

Canada’s total commitment to Ukraine has surpassed $26.7 billion after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced an additional $925 million in military assistance during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara on Tuesday.

Canada has not a single problem too big for Carney to ignore.

I am deeply grateful to Canada for its new support package – a very substantial one worth $900 million. Our first concern is more air defense. Protecting lives is the main thing, and Russia's ballistic missile attacks, along with its other missile and drone strikes, are terror… pic.twitter.com/49JOIyIaDi
