Vast fraud of Somali migrants, starting with Ilhan Omar, finally being exposed

This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.

The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.

But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades.

CHARLEBOIS: Milking the myth — why Ottawa can’t keep dairy ‘off the table’

For decades, Canada’s supply management system has acted as both shield and stabilizer for the country’s dairy sector. By regulating production, fixing quotas, and limiting imports through tariff rate quotas (TRQs), the model has provided farmers with stable incomes, preserved rural communities, and sustained a form of food sovereignty. But as the Globe and Mail recently reported, Ottawa is now considering regulatory changes that could allow more U.S. dairy products onto Canadian shelves — a signal that the system is under growing strain.

Calculating the odds of a civil war in the United States

“Predictions are hard, especially about the future” (so says the Danish proverb), but still we make them, especially when we care about the future.

Here are some about the future of the United States in the next three and a bit years, expressed as probabilities, although you should not trust the numbers.

We can, for example, calculate the probability that a person will die within X years if we know their age, their sex and a few other details. According to U.S. actuarial tables, a 79-year-old male American with a body mass index of around 30, like Donald Trump, stands a 10 per cent chance of dying before the end of 2028. But the tables can’t tell you if Trump is in that 10 per cent.

We need to stop being so naive about what America is becoming. Trump and his secretary of war just showed us why

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright observed some years ago that fascism is quite hard to define. It is not an ideology, she said. “I think it is a method, it’s a system.”

If it is a system, one of its most important processes is co-opting the military, perverting its independence into subservience. It is the method through which a fascist party can impose its will on the public without fear of resistance.


I think screaming that Trump is Hitler every 5 minutes as the Star does is the real “fascist system”.

Meet the Criminals Anti-ICE Protesters Are Fighting to Shield

On Sept. 19, 2025, a protest outside the ICE Broadview Processing Center in suburban Chicago escalated from chants to confrontation. Demonstrators blocked access roads, vandalized federal vehicles, and clashed with agents. Seventeen protesters were arrested in the first week, and within days a perimeter fence went up — not to hold detainees inside, but to protect federal officers from fellow citizens. The image was striking: a government fortifying itself against its own people in order to carry out the law.

Care to Comment, Ilhan? Feds Find Rampant Immigration Fraud in Minneapolis-St. Paul

There’s an old adage, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” It recognizes the universal tactic for doing well away from home. Rep. Ilhan Omar is from Somalia. This we know. Just about all of the other details of her journey to this point are murky at best. The other thing we know is Omar probably would not do in Rome what the Romans do.

Jobs, travel, national parks – what impact will US shutdown have?

The US federal government has shut down after Republican and Democratic lawmakers failed to resolve a budget stand-off.

The impasse affects the funding of government operations throughout October and beyond, and is poised to cause widespread disruption for Americans in areas ranging from air travel to zoo visits.

The political gridlock is also expected to put 40% of the federal workforce – about 750,000 people – on unpaid leave.

GM is moving production from Oshawa to Indiana. Here’s what they’re saying across the border

Rich LeTourneau is blunt as he sets down his beer on the union hall bar, located just a stone’s throw away from the General Motors plant in Fort Wayne, Ind. where he’s put in 38 years.

“I respect Canadian unions, I respect the Mexican union. We didn’t raise our hand and say … ‘I’ll take what you guys got.’ That decision was made way above our head,” he told CBC News.

“But when the company comes to me to increase volume, I’m not gonna tell them no, either, because it’s job security for my people, and hell, if I can corner the market, I will.”


Could be some job openings …

Trump and Hegseth ripped by ex-Pentagon staff for ‘condescending and insulting’ America’s top generals

General Gender Unicorn Milley

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were accused of ‘condescending and insulting’ America’s top generals and admirals at a highly anticipated summit on Tuesday.

The president and Secretary of War hosted hundreds of military chiefs at Marine Corps Base Quantico on Tuesday, for a meeting they hoped would inspire the nation and revolutionize America’s fighting force.

But ex-Pentagon chiefs warned that the political speeches, which meandered through various topics from fat soldiers to Joe Biden’s autopen, risked alienating the top brass.

Trump again floats Canada joining the U.S. as the 51st state

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he again told some unnamed Canadian official that the country should consider joining the U.S. as the 51st state — returning to the annexationist rhetoric he used earlier in the year and subsequently dropped after Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected.

Speaking to senior military officials at an event in Virginia, Trump said the U.S. is developing the Golden Dome missile defence system and Canada could be covered by it if the country becomes part of the States.

“Canada called me a couple of weeks ago. They want to be part of it. To which I said, well, why don’t you just join our country? Become 51, become the 51st state and you get it for free,” Trump said.


Canada has been deliberately weakened from within.

The immigration flood of incompatible cultures, criminalization of dissent, the denigration of our culture, heritage and values have all been done for a reason.

Our elites seek to rape Canada for their gain and their divide and conquer strategy is working to plan.

Choose your executioner – Death by our traitorous Elites or Annexation by the US.

Hegseth declares an end to ‘politically correct’ leadership in the US military

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has slammed “fat generals” and diversity initiatives that he says has led to decades of decay in the military.

Mr Hegseth made the comments at a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday, local time.

“Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way,” Mr Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.

“We became the ‘Woke Department’. But not anymore.”

McTEAGUE: To end the trade war, scrap the EV mandate

To anyone who thought that the Liberals’ decision to postpone enforcement of their Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate by one year was part of a well-thought-out plan to get that disastrous program back on track, well, every day brings with it news that you were wrong. In fact, the whole project seems to be coming apart at the seams.

U.S. Deports Planeload of Iranians After Deal With Tehran, Officials Say

The deportation flight to Iran is the most stark push yet by the Trump administration to deport migrants even to places with harsh human rights conditions.

The Trump administration is deporting a planeload of around 100 Iranians back to Iran from the United States, according to two senior Iranian officials involved in the negotiations and a U.S. official with knowledge of the plans.

Iranian officials said that the plane, a U.S.-chartered flight, took off from Louisiana on Monday night and was scheduled to arrive in Iran by way of Qatar sometime on Tuesday. And the U.S. official confirmed that plans for the flight were in the final stages. All the officials spoke to The New York Times on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details publicly.

Eric Ham: Border issues a potential derailment to CUSMA extension

Recent testimony by FBI Director Kash Patel before the House Oversight Committee offers a window into what could be the central issue to potentially see the United States withdraw from Canada-U.S.-Mexico Free Trade agreement (CUSMA).

Responding to a question about the risk of terrorism posed by illegal border crossings from the north, Patel said that while there has been a drop in suspected terrorist crossings from the southern border, there has been an increase in crossings from the north.

The MAGA firebrand stated, “we need more focus on the northern border” suggesting terrorists are originating from China, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa.
