AOC claims American Revolution was fight against ‘billionaires’ as critics school her on actual history

“Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under fire for radically rewriting history by claiming the American Revolution was all about fighting against “billionaires” — similar to the fight she and other fellow socialists are waging on capitalism.

“The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time, and we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and the state,” claimed a clueless Ocasio-Cortez during an appearance Friday at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics with longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod.

Pierre Poilievre encounters nothing but jerks, all day long

Pierre Poilievre encounters nothing but jerks, all day long

There’s an expression I heard years ago that I try to keep in mind for perspective on days when it feels like everyone in the world has been sent specifically to annoy and oppose me.

The original version used naughty language, but I’ll clean it up for the sake of this venerable newspaper. It goes like this: If you wake up in the morning and meet a jerk, you’ve met one jerk. If all you meet all day long are jerks, then perhaps you are the problem.

The media want desperately for Poilievre to fail. Can’t imagine why.

Iran questions US commitment to peace after tanker attacks

Iran questions US commitment to peace after tanker attacks

Iran has questioned the seriousness of American peace efforts after naval clashes in the Gulf.

Tehran is keeping Washington waiting for a response to its latest negotiating position, which had been expected on Friday evening.

On Saturday, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, called into question the reliability of the US leadership, in a phone call with his Turkish counterpart.

According to the Iranian ISNA news agency, he said: “The recent escalation of tensions by American forces in the Persian Gulf and their numerous actions in violating the ceasefire have added to suspicions about the motivation and seriousness of the American side in the path of diplomacy.”

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Speaking to a room of progressive policy experts in Toronto Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered some insight into what Canada has offered up ahead of an official review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this summer.

“Canada remains open to deeper integration,” said Carney, whose government has so far signaled it is in no rush to negotiate a new deal.

“Like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper integration, including options for fortress North America in (certain) sectors. And to be clear, those offers are on the table,” said the prime minister.

Pretty sure he can’t remember all his lies anymore.

BAKLINSKI: We’re a peaceful pro-life organization — The Canadian Anti-Hate Network targeted us

BAKLINSKI: We’re a peaceful pro-life organization — The Canadian Anti-Hate Network targeted us

When the Canadian Anti-Hate Network once described itself as “modelled after, and supported by” the US-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Canadian government should have taken notice. Today, that connection deserves renewed scrutiny.

The SPLC, founded in 1971, says it was created to ensure “that the promise of the civil rights movement became a reality for all.” It became notorious, however, for branding mainstream religious and conservative organizations as “hate groups.”

Canada to create new Financial Crimes Agency, but will it have a B.C. base?

Canada to create new Financial Crimes Agency, but will it have a B.C. base?

A recently announced federal law enforcement agency dedicated to investigating financial crimes will take years to set up, and to be effective, the Ottawa-headquartered force will need to have a presence in places like B.C., say policing experts.

The new Financial Crimes Agency will be allowed to create offices outside of its head office, under legislation introduced at the end of April, but it’s unclear if that will happen.

The new agency is meant to investigate things like cross-border money laundering, a hot-button issue in B.C. in the past decade and the subject of several government reports and inquiries.

“You can’t investigate this stuff from a distance,” said Peter German, the author of two B.C. government reports on money laundering and a former deputy commissioner of the RCMP.

The Demographic Eclipse Of Great Britain

The Demographic Eclipse Of Great Britain

Great Britain, traditionally considered the anchor of western civilization, is facing an incomprehensibly tragic fate, determined to replace its people and commit cultural suicide.

Great Britain once commanded respect worldwide as the irreplaceable anchor of Western civilization. Its institutions—rooted in the Magna Carta’s covenant of liberties, the common law’s impartiality, the Enlightenment’s rational skepticism, and the parliamentary democracy that exported freedom across continents—embodied the West’s highest aspirations: individual autonomy, secular governance, equality before the law, and the unyielding defense of conscience.
