Rich Dems Worried About Trump Are Buying Second Citizenships

Worried about a potential return of Donald Trump, abortion rights, and the general state of the country, wealthy Democrats are looking to buy their way out. Here’s how it works.

For years, David Lesperance, an immigration attorney who helps wealthy Americans obtain second citizenships, saw a similar type of client: millionaire MAGA-heads, Silicon Valley libertarians, new-money crypto investors—basically, rich guys who wanted out of the U.S. tax system. But in recent months, he’s seen an increase in a surprising clientele: moneyed liberals who are terrified about the political future of the country and want an escape plan.

“I was on vacation two weeks ago, I answered emails and I set up phone calls for when I came back,” Lesperance said. “In the last week I had nine new inquiries. Typically I may get one or two a week.”

BS. They never leave.

Russia Is Buying North Korean Artillery, According to U.S. Intelligence

WASHINGTON — Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and rockets from North Korea, according to newly declassified American intelligence, a sign that global sanctions have severely restricted its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to pariah states for military supplies.

The disclosure comes days after Russia received initial shipments of Iranian-made drones, some of which American officials said had mechanical problems. U.S. government officials said Russia’s decision to turn to Iran, and now North Korea, was a sign that sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States and Europe were hurting Moscow’s ability to obtain supplies for its army.

WARMINGTON: Sixth shooting in year at HER nightclub done in front of cops

Perhaps a seventh shooting outside HER nightclub will claim somebody’s life and trigger a revocation of the notorious Mississauga establishment’s licence to operate, too.

Certainly a shooting Sunday — the sixth since August 2021 — has many warning there’s only so many times a community can dodge a bullet.

Better arrest some legal gun owners.

Does BLM care about black lives or white money?

Has a political activist group ever fallen from grace quicker than the once-beloved Black Lives Matter?

After leading the outrage in 2020 over George Floyd’s death and collecting tens of millions of dollars in donations, the group has been repeatedly exposed for using these funds on personal expenses instead of the social justice causes the group claimed they supported. After multiple reports earlier this year of BLM using donations to buy mansions, yet another group leader has been accused of stealing more than $10 million from its charitable contributions.

A polite reminder that Canadian handgun crime is mostly America’s fault

As the Trudeau government deepens their crackdown on the legal ownership of handguns, evidence continues to emerge showing that Canadian handgun crimes are committed almost exclusively with smuggled U.S. weapons.

In a recent analysis, the National Post’s Bryan Passifiume found that 72 per cent of the crime guns seized by Toronto Police this year had likely origins in the United States.

Blame America? Why not blame the criminals? Or bad immigration policy?

Sabrina Maddeaux: The little we know about the Saskatchewan tragedy, the more familiar it sounds

The stabbing spree in Saskatchewan, which left 11 dead and 19 injured, is shocking and horrific, but, as more details emerge, the story begins to sound all too familiar.

As of Monday afternoon, Damien Sanderson was dead, his body found at James Smith Cree Nation and added to the death count. Myles was added to the injured list and the manhunt to capture him continues.

THOMAS: Liberal hypocrisy on full display

A little humility can go a long way, especially for those of us in places of leadership. Sadly, this conviction is seemingly absent in the Liberal government.

Tragically, it has become the habit of Liberal MPs to categorize anyone who disagrees with them as racist, misogynist, or even a Nazi.

Canada’s government-driven labour market recovery is unsustainable

At first glance, according to several commonly used indicators, Canada’s labour market has recovered from the initial COVID recession that began in 2020. Canada’s unemployment rate is now lower than when the pandemic hit, and the employment rate (the share of the adult population that’s working) has almost recovered to pre-COVID levels.

However, the story is more complicated than the headline numbers suggest. The latest monthly labour force statistics confirm that the government sector – not the private sector – has driven job growth since 2020.

Iranian authorities plan to use facial recognition to enforce new hijab law

The Iranian government is planning to use facial recognition technology on public transport to identify women who are not complying with a strict new law on wearing the hijab, as the regime continues its increasingly punitive crackdown on women’s dress.

The secretary of Iran’s Headquarters for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice, Mohammad Saleh Hashemi Golpayegani, announced in a recent interview that the government was planning to use surveillance technology against women in public places following a new decree signed by the country’s hardline president, Ebrahim Raisi, on restricting women’s clothing.

Jamie Sarkonak: How many spree killings does it take for the RCMP to be frank, honest and timely in telling people what’s going on?

The worst mass stabbing in Canadian history happened Sunday, about an hour before sunrise. The numbers alone are horrendous: 10 people are dead and 15 are wounded as of Sept. 4.

… While we wait for details, one frightening pattern is apparent: the RCMP’s stubborn reluctance to give good, timely information to the public when mass killers are at large. We expect police to tell us when they know a killer is on the loose nearby — especially those of us who live and work outside the big city.

Trudeau tries a rebrand before Conservatives pick a new leader

Is Justin Trudeau attempting to pivot in the dying days of summer?

I’m not sure whether it’s the two weeks of relaxing in Costa Rica, the change in season from hot summer days to cooler evenings or the looming prospect of a new Conservative leader, but there’s something different about Trudeau over the past few weeks.

Hubristic Germany has dragged Europe into poverty

Europe’s industrial powerhouse has managed to reduce itself to an instrument of Putin’s aggression

It wasn’t so long ago that Germany was able to present itself as the sensible man of Europe – the wise country which retained control of its public finances while other governments were losing their heads, and whose taxpayers were a little resentful about having to bail out less-responsible southern European nations. Now it is Europe’s fool.
