Why even diehard Democrats are turning against Obama over the $850million giant trash can they say is just a monument to his rampant egotism

Why even diehard Democrats are turning against Obama over the $850million giant trash can they say is just a monument to his rampant egotism

It looms over the poverty-stricken South Side of Chicago like a vast meteorite that has just plunged to Earth and embedded itself in the Windy City.

Comparisons have included a mausoleum, a ‘giant trash can’ and even the Death Star, the grim and deadly giant space station from the Star Wars films. And with a final cost of $850million, it has a price tag to match.

The granite-clad eyesore has sparked a furious row with locals who dismiss it as no more than a monument to a US President’s overweening ego and arrogance.

The statesman in question, however, isn’t – as might be expected – Donald Trump but Barack Obama, a politician not nearly so accustomed to such ugly accusations.

Poilievre comes out swinging against CRTC’s ‘Netflix tax,’ says it could derail U.S. trade talks

Poilievre comes out swinging against CRTC’s ‘Netflix tax,’ says it could derail U.S. trade talks

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is demanding Prime Minister Mark Carney step in and overrule the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as it forces mostly American web giants pay more to fund homegrown media content.

In an interview with CBC News, Poilievre said the CRTC’s decision to triple the revenue streaming firms like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime must set aside to fund Canadian programming is akin to a tax on consumers and cannot stand.

Qatar and the Fifth Column Grassroots of the West

Qatar and the Fifth Column Grassroots of the West

Before we come to the threat that my native Qatar poses to the West, I think it is helpful to understand how Western culture opened the door to its enemies.

Lionel Shriver, the author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, has written A Better Life, the controversial novel of the year, about how Westerners fail to defend a privilege that they feel they haven’t earned, thus becoming all giving of their cultural inheritance to foreign cultures, which are all taking. The New York Times and others are enraged and doing their best to dismiss A Better Life as a mean, racist, and bigoted tirade about immigration. It is not.

Trump’s man in Ottawa doesn’t understand why Canadians are so frustrated right now

Trump’s man in Ottawa doesn’t understand why Canadians are so frustrated right now

Pete Hoekstra does not mince words.

A close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, the 72-year-old Republican politician has developed a reputation for speaking bluntly, especially when it comes to the Canada-U.S. relationship.

When he welcomed Radio-Canada to the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa for a sit-down interview earlier this week, Hoekstra offered a few compliments, describing Canada as “an awesome friend” with whom “American businesses really enjoy doing business.”

Like it or not the Liberal-Left will one day have to face facts and acknowledge that most of Canada’s problems stem from their beloved Liberal government and their corporate cronies and not from Trump.

Elbows Up Suckers!

OK, So Why Do Jews Keep Voting For People Who Hate Them?

OK, So Why Do Jews Keep Voting For People Who Hate Them?

A dissection of irrational Jewish voting patterns.

Imagine driving from New York to San Francisco. For three days, you stay on I-80, only getting off for gas and a bed. As you approach your destination, just north of the once beautiful city, you simply keep driving straight. Your family tells you that you have missed the exit and the one after it. You can’t change. You’ve been going straight for endless hours and you are simply on autopilot to keep doing the same until the road ends.

Zamdani received approximately 130,000–150,000 (roughly 30–33% of the Jewish vote), according to exit polls and analyses from the 2025 NYC mayoral election.

Hypothetical Switch

If all ~130k–150k of those Mamdani Jewish votes went to Cuomo instead: Mamdani’s total drops to ~964k–984k.

Cuomo’s total rises to ~1.037M–1.057M. A win.

Canadian unity suddenly needs a hero. Can Mark Carney be that guy?

Canadian unity suddenly needs a hero. Can Mark Carney be that guy?

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says hope is not a strategy when confronting global economic and security turmoil.

It also won’t work to confront the twin national unity challenges in Alberta and Quebec that are fomenting.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, cornered by separatists in her party’s ranks, will host a referendum on whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the process of splitting the country apart.

The Stories That Saved the West

The Stories That Saved the West

What do fantastic tales have to do with the survival of our civilization?

The world that plunged from one World War to the next with an economic disaster in between demanded full seriousness to survive. Storytelling could surely wait.

In his new book on J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, The War for Middle Earth, Joseph Loconte answers: to the contrary. More than any other time, those years gave rise to stories that have strengthened the souls and minds, the hearts and the hands of all who must deal with darkness. Their stories uncover an inextinguishable flame and the beckoning path it shows back towards home.

Conrad Black: Canada better hope Alberta doesn’t leave with its wealth

Conrad Black: Canada better hope Alberta doesn’t leave with its wealth

It is painful to reflect on this, but I think we are disserving ourselves if we do not recognize how absurd this country appears to many well-disposed and intelligent foreign onlookers. We are now seen as the most absurdly woke and politically correct (and therefore foolish) country in the world, and the country with the highest suicide rate in the world because our crumbling health-care system now champions the virtues of early death, as well as being one of the most unsafe advanced countries for Jews to live in, because of widespread antisemitic bigotry.

Two Americans Died Fighting for Filipino Communists

Two Americans Died Fighting for Filipino Communists

Last month, two Americans were killed in a foreign state’s counterterrorism operation. If Lyle Prijoles, 40, and Kai Dana-Rene Sorem, 26, had been part of a group of jihadi terrorists in the Middle East, their deaths would likely have generated national headlines. But they were in the Philippines, fighting for the New People’s Army (NPA), a decades-old Maoist insurgent group that serves as the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

The two appear to have died fighting: many Western reports of the incident explicitly note that Prijoles’s and Sorem’s deaths occurred in a “firefight,” implying an exchange of fire between both sides. Nor were they fighting on the side of good: both the CPP and NPA are designated foreign terrorist organizations by the State Department.

Carney walks a tightrope on Fortress North America as trade review looms

Carney walks a tightrope on Fortress North America as trade review looms

Prime Minister Mark Carney has spent much of the past year warning that Canada’s close economic integration with the United States has become a weakness that must be corrected. Earlier this month, he began to change his tune.

Speaking to an audience of Liberal supporters in Toronto two weeks ago, he said that Canada “remains open to deeper integration” with the United States in certain sectors, “including options for Fortress North America.”

“To be clear, those offers are on the table,” he said. “If that route is not ultimately possible, we will invest heavily in new markets and products.”

Do All Roads Lead to Beijing?

Do All Roads Lead to Beijing?

Imagine you are a nation’s leader facing problems or seeking to underline your legitimacy on the global stage. Where will you go in pursuit of those goals?

In ancient times, all roads led to Rome or Susa, where two great empires set the tune in large chunks of the three continents known at the time. In the age of European imperialism, the obvious destinations were London, Paris and Petrograd. During the Cold War, Washington and Moscow were the obvious destinations. After the USSR collapsed, Washington was seen as the first source of authority, with the United Nations as a distant second.

Did ‘Trump Derangement’ Kill Stephen Colbert’s Late Night Show?

Did ‘Trump Derangement’ Kill Stephen Colbert’s Late Night Show?

This morning on O’Connor & Company (Salem News Channel), host Larry O’Connor sat down with Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell to dissect the demise of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on CBS. What was once a landscape of edgy, anti-establishment humor has devolved into a predictable echo chamber and the MRC has the data to prove it.
