Trump sets sights on Greenland
Donald Trump has signalled Greenland is in his sights with Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan dictator, captured and preparing to face an American courtroom.
“We do need Greenland, absolutely,” he told The Atlantic magazine, adding that the Danish territory was “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships”.
He said officials in his administration would decide what happened with Greenland, which Mr Trump has claimed the US must annex for its security.
President Trump has declared that America needs Greenland for “national security.”

AUBUT: The divergent paths of liberty and loyalty, comparing America and Canada
The year 1629 marks the quiet divide that determined the fates of two nations. In the south, the English colonies that became the United States were founded by literate settlers who sought not comfort but freedom. They brought with them the conviction that faith and conscience were their own, that government was to be distrusted and restrained, and that their destiny depended on their own labour and judgment

Venezuela’s fate is a warning for Canada
U.S. military action to seize Nicolás Maduro marks the formal debut of an imperial America
No one need shed a single tear for Nicolás Maduro, a ruthless dictator who extinguished Venezuela’s democracy and set its economy into a death spiral.
His sins are many: stolen elections, numerous alleged crimes against humanity, and more than a decade of exploitation of what once was and should still be a prosperous country. And of course, the Trump administration alleges that Mr. Maduro is a narco-terrorist in league with drug cartels.
Wonder if he’ll kick out the migrants?
It’s Never Enough. Check Out What Else San Francisco Reparations Activists Are Demanding
San Francisco is ringing in the New Year by pushing for reparations for the city’s black residents, to the tune of $5 million per person.
How will they pay for it? Well, the ordinance creates a fund of both private and public monies to cover the payments. Mayor Daniel Lurie signed the ordinance into law on December 23. The bill was unanimously passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in early December.
Opinion: Why Trump’s challenge to Canada’s dairy supply management matters for consumers
Canada is approaching a defining economic moment.
U.S. President Donald Trump has made greater access to Canada’s dairy market one of his stated expectations for a CUSMA renewal.
Ottawa’s response has been swift and defensive.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said this week that supply management would remain untouched.
WTF?

What analysts say about Carney’s statement on Venezuela
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a “Venezuelan-led transition process” away from what he called the criminal regime of President Nicolás Maduro in a Saturday post on X.
It was just one of his requests following the U.S. incursion into Venezuela to remove Maduro from power early Saturday Morning. He also called on “all parties” to respect international law, mirroring a previous statement from Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Neither response mentioned the United States directly.
Two observers who spoke with CTV News Channel said the prime minister’s response should have gone further.
Not insulting enough.
WTF?
Apparently this is going around. It’s called the “STFU challenge.”

Is Hostility Against Christians Going to Increase in 2026?
Rising anti-Christian hostility, desecration, and attacks mark a grim start to the new year.
The new year is off to a grim start already for Catholics around the world as anti-Christian hostility proliferates across the West. New Year’s Day saw a 150-year-old former Catholic church in Amsterdam destroyed by fire, leaving behind nothing but rubble and scorched walls. According to Catholic News Agency, it is unclear whether or not arson was the cause of the fire.
The Somali fraud scandal is a turning point
I suspect that Somalis around the country – especially, but not exclusively, in Minneapolis – wish about now that they had spent more time studying the wit and wisdom of Gertrude Stein.
Stein, had she lived in our own day, might well have become commissioner of New York City’s Fire Department. She had the one qualification that Zohran Mamdani seems to deem essential to the post.
Sadly, that was not to be. But there is no denying that, on certain matters, Stein was a font of practical wisdom that remains as pertinent today as it was when she was pontificating in Paris a century ago. It is important, Stein warned those aspiring to be part of the avant garde, “to know how far to go when going too far.” This is true of all the arts. It is just as true of fraud as of painting, poetry, dance or music.
A Story of Extraordinary Celebrity and Terrible Exploitation Ends
The Dionne quintuplets were a global sensation during the Great Depression. The last of the five sisters, Annette, died in December.
Although they came from a small town in northern Ontario, the Dionne quintuplets were among the first global celebrities and multimedia stars. But their story — they were the first known quintuplets to survive infancy — did not have happy endings like the three films based on their lives.
Defying Trump Warning, Iran’s Supreme Leader Says Protesters Must Be ‘Put in Their Place’
Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is speaking out for the first time about the violent unrest spreading across his country with a defiant rejection of theats from America.
Street protests that started almost a week ago are growing and numerous deaths have been reported.
In remarks aired on Iranian television on Saturday, Mr. Khamanei said rioters should be “put in their place” and pledged that the Islamic Republic “will not yield to the enemy.”
Young women in Iran are DEFYING the regime’s morality police, forced hijab, and are singing in the streets.
THIS is what true resistance looks like. Where are the western leftists now who supported HAMAS and Gaza?? Why are they all silent?!?

GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s climate targets were always a fantasy
Prime Minister Mark Carney has correctly admitted that the federal government will not achieve its 2030 and 2035 industrial greenhouse gas emission targets under the climate strategy of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
“We have too much regulation, not enough action,” Carney told CBC in a year-end interview commenting on Trudeau’s plan.
Leftwing militants claim responsibility for arson attack on Berlin power grid
German leftwing militants protesting over the climate crisis and AI have claimed responsibility for an arson attack that cut power to tens of thousands of households in Berlin.
The fire that broke out on a bridge across the Teltow canal in the south-west of the capital early on Saturday could deprive up to 35,000 homes and 1,900 businesses of electricity – and in many cases heat – until 8 January, the grid company Stromnetz Berlin said.
