With Angry Rhetoric Soaring, the ‘Luigi Left’ Finds a New Champion in Shooter at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

It didn’t take long for the camaraderie that embodied the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner to evaporate after thousands of individuals online cheered President Trump’s would-be assassin and compared him favorably to another alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione.Shortly after the Saturday night shooting, President Trump expressed support for the press corps that he has openly and frequently disdained. He encouraged members of the nation’s premiere media association to organize a quick redo of the annual black-tie fête affectionately known as Washington’s “Nerd Prom.”But the goodwill ended shortly after the release of details about the alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen.

Canada Says Its Gold Is Traceable and Clean… It Was Traced to a Cartel controlled mine in Columbia

In the shadowy global gold industry, where terrorists, drug dealers and dictators launder illegally mined gold into the mainstream market, one major supplier says buyers can count on its product to be clean and ethically sourced.

The Royal Canadian Mint says it can trace all of its gold back to its origins, with cutting-edge technologies including a Bitcoin-like software it calls Bullion Genesis. The Mint, which is backed by the Canadian government, assures buyers that it does not refine gold linked to “illegitimate nonstate armed groups.”

“It’s all North American, predominantly Canada,” the Mint’s refining chief, Rob Sargent, said in an interview.

But what the Canadians call North American includes gold from a swirl of faraway sources — including Colombian mines controlled by the Clan del Golfo drug cartel.

Beasts of no party: the curious history of America’s animal mayors

It was a fiercely contested election.

Seven candidates, each bringing a unique set of skills and perspectives, battled to be the next mayor. Locals followed every twist and turn, in a race that lasted weeks. The political hopefuls made repeated, frequently loud, appearances on TV news, and posed for photos on social media. By the end of the election onlookers agreed that any of the candidates would make a very good mayor.

Ultimately, there could only be one winner.

Canada’s Carney has enjoyed a long political honeymoon. Now comes the test

Mark Carney arrived on Canada’s political scene last year as an Ivy League and Oxford educated economist and a former central banker for two countries.

He had an impressive resume and ambitions to be prime minister but had never run for public office until replacing Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader.

There was concern his lack of political experience would be a liability, but under his leadership, the Liberals won a minority government, which in a year had solidified into a narrow majority following the defection of five opposition members of parliament to his party.

‘Shots Fired!’: Inside the Pandemonium at the Washington Hilton

A man armed with knives, a shotgun and a handgun was barreling through security at a full sprint, heading toward the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.

At that moment on Saturday night, President Trump and many of America’s top government officials and journalists were one floor down, crammed into the ballroom for a black-tie dinner. The mentalist Oz Pearlman, the night’s entertainer, was leaning over Mr. Trump and the first lady, demonstrating one of his mind-reading tricks by trying to guess the name that the White House press secretary had picked out for her baby, due to be born any day.

The press …

Many Elbow Cranks have avoided the U.S. for over a year. Have we reached the point of no return?

Many Canadians have avoided the U.S. for over a year. Have we reached the point of no return?

Fredericton landscape painter Bruce Newman used to be a frequent visitor to the United States. Up to a dozen times a year, he’d travel to the country to vacation with his wife, meet up with fellow artists or capture picturesque landscapes on canvas.

But those visits abruptly ended early last year, when U.S. President Donald Trump started a trade war with Canada and suggested the country should become the 51st state.

Newman says recent events in Minnesota, where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers clashed with protesters, further reinforced his resolve.

Falklanders should go back to England, says Argentina’s vice-president

Falkland islanders should go back to England, Argentina’s vice-president said after Buenos Aires renewed its claim to the British overseas territory.

Argentina’s claim to what it calls the Malvinas was boosted when Donald Trump threatened to review the official US position on the islands after the UK did not join his war on Iran.

Javier Milei, Argentina’s president and a close ally of Mr Trump, said last week that the “the Malvinas were, are and will always be Argentine”.

Canada’s Mark Carney, world leaders decry ‘political violence’ following D.C. press gala shooting

World leaders expressed shock after a shooter charged a glitzy media gala in Washington on Saturday night attended by U.S. President Donald Trump — and relief that there were no casualties.

U.S. law enforcement said the sole suspect, armed with “a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives,” has been detained and will face charges Monday in federal court.

The assassin who murdered my friend said I would be next… the SPLC gave them a ‘hit list’ to make their hunt easier. Now, I’m finally getting my revenge: AYAAN HIRSI ALI

In October 2016, at the height of the Islamist terror wave that had already claimed my friend Theo van Gogh, the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, the Bataclan concertgoers in Paris and the patrons of a Pulse nightclub in Orlando, the Southern Poverty Law Center sat down in its offices in Montgomery, Alabama, and published a document called ‘A Journalist’s Manual: Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.’

My name was on it.

So were activists Maajid Nawaz, Daniel Pipes, David Horowitz and a dozen others whose only alleged sin was insisting that Islam, like every other tradition of ideas, should be subject to criticism, reform and public debate.

Liberals must show results in spring economic update: former PBO

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney will be under pressure to show results from his economic agenda when his government tables an update to its fiscal outlook on Tuesday.

The spring economic statement comes one year to the day after the party secured a minority mandate in the federal election, a fourth win for the Liberals in a row, but the first under Carney.

It also comes the same week three new Liberal MPs are expected to be sworn into office, officially giving Carney’s government majority status.

Carney to announce sovereign wealth fund … for Brookfield and his family

Prime Minister Mark Carney will announce plans to create a sovereign wealth fund Monday, a day ahead of the spring economic statement, according to a senior government official.

The fund will be used to invest alongside the private sector in major projects that the Carney government has committed to building over the coming years, and the government also plans to create a way for individual Canadians to contribute, the official said.

Germany’s military expansion won’t convince young people to enlist

Germany has unveiled its first military strategy since the Second World War, and it’s certainly ambitious. By 2039, Berlin wants to command the strongest army in Europe, with a total of 460,000 combat-ready troops. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius argues that this is a historic turning point, and he’s right. But the national effort he’s asking for requires a change in the national attitude toward war, which may be much harder to achieve.

Conrad Black: How Trump can defang Iran

The Iran war is now in an artificial stasis, in which practically all of the vast international coalition of people who are repelled and horrified by U.S. President Donald Trump, in the United States and elsewhere, have reflexively bought into the Iranian claim that since that ghastly regime has ostensibly survived, Iran is winning the war.

This is a false conception. This has been the most one-sided war between serious combatants in modern history. Iran has been deprived of much of its military capacity, including related defence production, and is now being tightly blockaded by sea. American casualties have been minimal.
