Pentagon reportedly fires publisher and editor of US military news outlet Stars and Stripes

The Pentagon is reported to have fired the publisher and the editor of Stars and Stripes, the US military news outlet that has clashed with the Trump administration and armed forces brass over its partly taxpayer-funded reporting.

Publisher Max Lederer and editor Erik Slavin received termination notices, CBS News reported on Friday. The cause cited was insubordination, and they have been given five days to appeal against their dismissals.

Slavin later told the Associated Press that his firing for insubordination was “for stating in a CBS interview that hypothetical censorship of news for service members would constitute a red line”.

More to this I suspect.

Canada’s tech industry warns ‘entrepreneurs are leaving in droves’ for U.S.

Canada’s tech industry is warning that the country continues to lose its best and brightest entrepreneurs to the U.S., an issue that has taken on new urgency as tariff threats have prompted Ottawa to try to diversify away from the U.S. economy.

This week, various tech entrepreneurs, politicians and economists began to weigh in on data that show just how big the problem has become. According to recent figures, there are at least 517 U.S.-based tech firms with Canadian founders — or, entrepreneurs who were educated in Canada but later left for the U.S. — that have together raised more than US$400 billion.

Is America Still Capable of Enforcing the World Order?

Ever since President Trump’s return to office, America’s allies have been fretting about Washington’s intentions. Now, after the inconclusive war against Iran has eroded U.S. weapons stockpiles and laid bare the limits of American hard power, they also worry about American capabilities.

Can America still defend its friends, if it wants to?

The question that officials in allied—and adversary—capitals are asking themselves is whether industrial decline, strategic incoherence and political dysfunction have weakened the U.S. to the point where it would no longer wield decisive force in a multi-front conflict that may encompass Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It is a concern shared by many in Washington, too.

Ensuring the continued ability to enforce the World Order is perhaps the greatest single reason for the “Trade War”.

Secure supply lines are a necessity.

FBI arrests woman over alleged plot to bomb New York capitol building

The FBI has arrested a New York woman who was allegedly planning to bomb the state capitol building in Albany to kill lawmakers.

Prosecutors allege that Jessica Bowie, 35, had previously pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group (IS). She is charged with providing material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organisation.

Bowie had “repeatedly surveilled the building” in advance, and was carrying a fake bomb and a defective gun, which had been supplied to her by undercover agents, prosecutors said.

The Islamic Republic of NYC

Twenty-five years ago, America was attacked on its own soil, a first since 1812. A new generation of voters never directly experienced the horrors of that once-in-a-lifetime experience, played out on TV screens like a Hollywood horror movie.

Lessons have been learned in the years since. But not by all Americans, particularly many New Yorkers.

Milwaukee: Mother Encouraged Teacher at Islamic School to Molest Her Daughter So He Would Marry Her

Cultural differences do exist and not all of them involve ethnic foods. It’s not just Islamic terrorism that’s at issue. There are fundamental differences in mores and morals of which this horrifying story out of Milwaukee is just one more example.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott takes aim at Muslim washing stations in airports

HOUSTON — For years, travelers passing through Texas’s two biggest airports have had access to small washing stations for a ritual called wudu, in which Muslims clean their hands, arms, head and feet before the five daily prayers.

Such facilities have become more common in states with the largest Muslim populations, including Texas, where on Wednesday travelers and others popped in and out of washing stations at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The tiled wudu room sits along an airport hall just past a vending machine, with a small sign showing a draped person kneeling.

No accommodation for the cult.

From DSA to Fishback: Why Young Voters Feel Disenfranchised

As a young conservative, I constantly get one question about my generation when I go to local Republican meetings: “Why are young people so attracted to ______?”

You fill in the gap. Zohran Mamdani. Abdul El-Sayed. James Fishback.

There is a new political personality attracting young voters: a smooth talker with sweeping “I will fix your problems” promises.

If You Hate America, Why Don’t You Leave?

For years, I’ve tried to understand the growing rancor between the Muslim community and the American population. It seems there is never a time when the two groups have lived comfortably with each other. And in these times of Muslims also becoming part of our political community, of the strife in the Middle East, and the ongoing conflicts in Muslim-majority countries, there is no sign of relationships improving.

Unhinged Muslim from a third-world country, now living in Chicago, went on a long rant claiming that “no human is illegal” and demanding that red states start creating sanctuary cities too.
