US Coast Guard says it intercepted ship carrying fuel to Cuba

The US Coast ⁠Guard has announced that it intercepted a large cargo ship carrying fuel bound for Cuba, as the ⁠Trump administration’s crippling ⁠oil embargo against the island nation continued.

The vessel named Grace was stopped on 5 September in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba ⁠and Mexico while using tactics to evade authorities, the Coast Guard said. The New York Times reported that the ship ⁠was 91 metres (300ft) long.

“Grace was transiting to Cuba, carrying fuel, and was believed to be employing ‌tactics common amongst the ‌dark fleet,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.

State’s largest mosque leader’s deportation fight takes dramatic turn as Trump admin scores major win

An immigration judge ruled Wednesday that federal authorities can deport the leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on national security grounds.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio invoked federal immigration law in June 2025 to determine that Salah Sarsour, the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, could be deported because his presence in the United States could have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. Government lawyers cited Sarsour’s decades-old convictions in Israel, including for throwing rocks at Israeli military personnel and attempting to procure weapons, in arguing that he posed a national security threat.

Poll of 10,000 Canadians finds half consider US to be an adversary and 45% feel worse off today than a year ago

Canadians are feeling relatively “jaunty” in the face of a trade war with a country they now view as an adversary and no friend, even while saying they feel worse off than they did a year ago, according to a new poll of more than 10,000 Canadian adults.

Most believe Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government are best suited to handle trade negotiations and American designs on Canada, and most voters overall feel the Liberals are making headway and “doing some good things” — or they’re at least giving them the benefit of the doubt that they will.

The US should no longer accept the UN’s dysfunction

Thirty years ago, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali offered an ambitious vision of the institution he led. The Cold War was over. Globalization was drawing countries together even as fragmentation threatened to pull them apart. The United Nations, he argued, could help build a more cooperative international order.

He was remarkably confident. Nations would be bound closer together, and the credibility of the U.N. would deepen “year by year.”

What If Trump Dropped the Sharia Law Bomb?

Welcome to the MAGA war room. (Obviously, no fighting.) In today’s meeting, we’ll be strategizing for the midterms. Because, sigh, not everything is completely, totally awesome.

I hope he does.

Hegseth confirms plan to cut 20% of US top military brass and rails at ‘beardos, weirdos and wimps’

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has confirmed plans to cut 20% of generals and admirals and declared “no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps” would be tolerated inside the country’s military.

Delivering his latest extraordinary attack on diversity, and dismissing reports of low morale within the US armed forces as “false claims”, Hegseth also suggested they were retaining service personnel at “record” rates.

The defense secretary pointed to those onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, following concern over mental health and supply issues on the aircraft carrier, which was deployed for almost nine months. About “80% of the force” onboard was retained, he said.

Canada should hold on to military relationship with U.S., former defence chief says

The Canadian military’s former top soldier says global war is closer than it has been for decades and that this country must focus on building new alliances, but also not discard existing ones such as that with the U.S.

Retired general Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff from 2021 to 2024, said he has seen no indication that Canada can’t trust its long-standing military relationship with Americans.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Is Mark Carney Preparing for an American Invasion?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. I am going to mention Canada again. I know we’re getting tired of this subject because, after all, Canada is our closest ally, closest friend, the country that is most like the United States, or so we’ve been told. But [Prime Minister] Mark Carney is doing things that we have never seen or heard before in Canada.

‘So much uncertainty’: Michigan’s Arab American businesses navigate Trump’s Canada trade war

In Dearborn, Michigan, home to the largest community of Arab Americans in the US, one industry has risen above all others in recent years: Yemeni cafes.

At the forefront is Qahwah House, a powerhouse in the burgeoning Yemeni cafe world with 32 branches open across the country. Three of those are here in Dearborn, with more on the way, and they attract people from near and far.

“We estimate that around 10% of our Dearborn business comes from Canadian customers,” says Mohamed Ahmed, marketing director at Qahwah House.

Pentagon says it has formally completed withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it has formally completed its withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, two years after the withdrawal was agreed to and 12 years since the US mission to fight the Islamic State started.

After the announcement, Iran and its allies celebrated the departure as a victory, while Iraqi security experts worry that the withdrawal could give the Islamic State and others a chance to recover.

“Today, the United States and our Coalition partners formally concluded Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq,” the Pentagon said in a statement, adding that the departure of its forces “marks the successful conclusion of the military mission that defeated ISIS in Iraq”.

American exodus: why do so many US NHL stars want out of Canada?

Back in September 1925, Frederick Wilson, sports editor at the Globe, explained the fear among hockey fans that Canadian teams might not be able to compete for players against the new US teams like New York or Boston that were entering the pro league. “Will it be a matter of money?” Wilson headlined his piece. And for about a century, money was the recurrent nexus of the Canadian hockey panic, proven by franchise departures and depleted buying power.
