Canada-U.S. refugee pact changes expected to ‘exacerbate existing threats’: memo

OTTAWA – A newly released memo shows federal officials warned last spring that expanding a bilateral refugee pact to the entire Canada-U.S. border would likely fuel smuggling networks and encourage people to seek more dangerous, remote crossing routes.

Officials feared the development would also strain RCMP resources as irregular migrants dispersed more widely across the vast border.

The April memo, made public by Public Safety Canada through the Access to Information Act, was prepared in advance of a Cross-Border Crime Forum meeting with American representatives.

America’s largest poultry producer partners with European insect plant to open a major facility stateside

This seems to be a big story, and most of the conservative media seems to have missed the fact that both parties in this business deal are World Economic Forum acolytes, not just one.

From time to time, I check in on the Young Global Leaders website to keep tabs on the alumni as well as the newcomers, and a year or two ago, one name in particular caught my attention: it was John R. Tyson, the CFO for Tyson Foods, Inc.

Are Media Lies Setting The Stage For Another Benghazi-Style Attack On American Embassies?

Legacy media lies surrounding the bombing of a Gaza hospital are endangering Americans aboard, as Islamic demonstrators throughout the Middle East were reported outside several Middle Eastern U.S embassies on Tuesday evening.

After reports began surfacing Tuesday morning that a missile hit a Gaza-based hospital, regime-approved media wasted no time regurgitating baseless claims issued by Hamas — an Iranian-backed terror group — that Israeli forces fired the missile. Whether it was The New York Times or Associated Press — the latter of which once shared office space with Hamas in Gaza — the media narrative was set: Israel blew up a hospital filled with unarmed civilians, and Hamas’ word is not to be questioned.

Apparently being America first makes you an isolationist

The media and other Democrats are saying that President Trump’s foreign policy was isolationist, which is a lie.  Being for America first is not isolationist.  From a Yahoo News piece yesterday, which declared that the conflict between Israel and Hamas is “testing” the GOP’s “isolationist shift” which essentially means, the MAGA wing fighting back against the Establishment.

CIA admits 1953 Iranian coup it backed was undemocratic

The CIA has for the first time acknowledged that the 1953 coup it backed in Iran that overthrew its prime minister and cemented the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was undemocratic.

The admission came in a new podcast revealing details about one of the most famed CIA operations of all times – the effort to spirit six American diplomats out of Iran under the guise of a Hollywood movie production.

The CIA in 2013 admitted its role in the coup that brought down Iran’s then prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddeq, but until now has not publicly acknowledged that the move was undemocratic.

Better late than never I guess.

Army: Now that you ask, we really don’t know where all of our weapons are

It’s well known that the United States Army and Marines maintain a significant stockpile of used, damaged, or older models of weapons. Some are damaged and waiting to be safely salvaged, but many of them are still functional, requiring a bit of cleaning or maintenance. Some may be perfectly fine, but they’ve been replaced by newer models. Now that our allies in Israel are rushing to outfit an expanded military force to take on Hamas and their civilians are looking for hardware also, someone finally thought to ask the army about those stockpiles and how we could ship out the usable equipment to help our friends. But they answer they received from Army Undersecretary Gabe Camarillo on Tuesday basically amounted to, ‘Weapons? Did you say weapons? Let’s see… where did we put those…’

Trump killed funding for Palestinian-“relief” organizations; Biden reinstated it

It is impossible to overstate just how destructive Joe Biden’s foreign policy decisions have been, and how immeasurably worse they have made the world.

There are too many examples to cite, but given recent events let’s look at just a couple of decisions he made that empowered Iran and Hamas to commit the atrocities this weekend in Israel.

‘You are unfit to serve in the House’: Congressman hits out at Squad member Ilhan Omar after she branded Israel’s retaliation against Hamas’ a ‘war crime’

A New York congressman railed against Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar after the Minnesota Democrat asserted that Israel should not fight back against Hamas and called its military efforts a ‘war crime’.

On Monday, Omar said she opposed an Israeli military response and said that ‘peace and justice will not come from the barrel of a gun.’

Rep. Mike Lawler, a republican representing New York’s 17th congressional district, wrote on X: ‘Israel was just brutally attacked by terrorists, funded by Iran, and you (Omar) want to cut off funding and military aid and equipment.
