US seizes oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, Trump says

US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, President Donald Trump said, marking a sharp escalation in Washington’s pressure campaign against Nicolás Maduro’s government.

“We have just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela – a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Releasing a video of the seizure, Attorney General Pam Bondi described the vessel as a “crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran”.

In Minnesota, Echoes of Failed Somali Experiment in Europe

There are scandals that explode with theatrical outrage, and there are scandals that settle over a nation like a quiet, damning verdict. Minnesota’s autism-therapy fraud belongs firmly in the latter category. On November 22, 2025, The Washington Post noted — with the weary delicacy that now accompanies every public-sector failure — that welfare fraud in Minnesota had become “far too common,” highlighting federal charges against eight men, six of them Somali, accused of exploiting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services program under Medicaid and helping force the program’s shutdown.

The Somali Grift Isn’t Just for Minnesota Anymore

I tell you what – Democrats and Somalis are going to rue the day the Senate Dems forced the government into that extended shutdown. That was the tipping point, and just the extra bit of time needed to bring this extraordinary, biblical amount of waste, fraud, and abuse into the public sphere, where it had been floating at the edges for decades.

Everyone has been watching the Minnesota Somali scandals get deeper, more sordid, and, oh, dear God – more expensive than we ever thought possible.

German Chancellor Says Trump‘s Opposition to EU Agenda ‘Unacceptable‘

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that aspects of the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy paper are “unacceptable” to Europeans.

Last week, the White House released its formal National Security Strategy paper, which criticised European Union nations for engaging in mass migration and censorship, which Washington warned would lead the continent towards “civilizational erasure”.

Citizens are fed up with Dem-invited migrants that have disdain for US law and culture

It is hard now even for Democrats to defend illegal immigration, given that the Biden administration allowed in more than 10 million entrants. Among them were an estimated 500,000 criminals. No one believes that was wise or should ever be repeated.

Worse, the message went out that there would be few, if any, deportations and no real ICE kinetic activity beyond the border.

The world’s poor, sick, both law-abiding and criminal, young and old, understood that anyone could now enter the US at will. Deterrence and legality were lost.

This is not immigration

Once upon a time, there were two ways of coming to the U.S. One way was to apply for entry, wait your turn, fill out documents, not be a public charge, undergo a criminal background check and so on. It’s the way most people came in. The other way was to gain entry because you were a political refugee or were escaping communism. This is how I came in with my parents in the 1960s.

Donald Trump is calling for Europe to save itself

National Security Strategy warnings are motivated by desire to preserve Christian civilisation

One particular passage in America’s National Security Strategy, published last week, is causing meltdown in Britain and Europe and on the American left. Economic decline in Europe, said the NSS, is being eclipsed by “civilisational erasure”.

Some European countries are on course to become majority non-European. The EU and other transnational bodies are undermining political liberty and censoring free speech. Birth rates are cratering and national identities and self-confidence are being lost.

“Should present trends continue,” the NSS authors wrote, “the continent will be unrecognisable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies.”

Florida governor declares CAIR a Muslim terrorist organization

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday designated one of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the U.S. a “foreign terrorist organization,” following a similar step by Texas last month.

The directive against the Council on American-Islamic Relations comes in an executive order DeSantis posted on the social media site X. It also gives the same label to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Neither CAIR nor the Muslim Brotherhood is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

American Taxpayers Are Paying Somalis Millions To Not Assimilate

Civil war and famine spurred many Somalians to immigrate to the United States in 1991 and settle in Minnesota. That was 34 years ago. Somalians could have assimilated into U.S. culture by now, but American taxpayers have been roped into funding programs that coddle Somalians’ Third-World culture and disincentivize their assimilation.

Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid’s Tale has become ‘more and more plausible’

Margaret Atwood -Old Elbows Up Crank

Margaret Atwood has said the plot of her book The Handmaid’s Tale, which tells a story of an authoritarian regime under which women are forced to reproduce, has become “more and more plausible” in recent years.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Atwood said she believed the plot was “bonkers” when she first developed the concept for the novel because the US was the “democratic ideal” at the time.

“It was the land of freedom … and people in Europe just didn’t believe that it could ever go like that,” she said.

“I’ve always been somebody who has never believed it can’t happen here. It can happen anywhere, given the circumstances.”

Has this crank ever raised her voice against Islam and sharia law?

Trump’s National Security Strategy is hostile to Canada – and the democratic world

Without much fanfare, the U.S. government has launched what could be a seismic shift in American foreign policy with its new National Security Strategy. And for Canada, the impact of the NSS could be profound.

We already know Donald Trump’s approach to relations with Canada has complicated our economic and security environment. But the NSS tries make coherent a foreign policy that, so far, has appeared to centre on the changing whims of the President – a vision that is inherently hostile to Canada and other allies in alarming ways.

I am beginning to wonder just who exactly feels threatened.

How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans’ Faith in Immigration

Migrant Horde El Paso Texas

The Democratic president and his top advisers rejected recommendations that could have eased the border crisis that helped return Donald Trump to the White House.

In the weeks after Joseph R. Biden Jr. was elected president, advisers delivered a warning: His approach to immigration could prove disastrous.

Mr. Biden had pledged to treat unauthorized immigrants more humanely than President Donald J. Trump, who generated widespread backlash by separating migrant children from their parents.

But Mr. Biden was now president-elect, and his positions threatened to drastically increase border crossings, experts advising his transition team warned in a Zoom briefing in the final weeks of 2020, according to people with direct knowledge of that briefing. That jump, they said, could provoke a political crisis.

“Chaos” was the word the advisers had used in a memo during the campaign.

“Chaos” was the plan as it is in Canada.
