Nearly every week, another psychodrama arises between the United States and its NATO partners.
Europeans blame the Trump administration for the usual things—a lack of cordiality and bombastic threats.
But two truths, rarely spoken, characterize all these spats.
One is hypocrisy; the other is insecurity.
Democrats want you to care; they need you to care about the fate of illegal aliens in this country, especially the criminal ones. I can’t bring myself to and never will. Throw them out, in bulk, as quickly as possible.
It’s almost comical, the way you could bet on which side of a criminal case Democrats will come down on when there is an American on one side and a neck-tattooed illegal alien with a rap sheet long enough to wallpaper a 5,000-square-foot house. Democrats will always take the side of the illegal over the American, and have no incentive not to as long as idiotic Americans keep electing people sick enough to jet off to a foreign country to have a “date” with some scumbag abuser or human trafficker. After all, to these Democrats they are only pleasing their masters – the billionaire liberals seeking to get Americans raped and murdered for cheap wages and future post-amnesty votes. When Daddy Sorosbucks says dance, you dance.

MONTREAL — Canada and the European Union are laying out concrete steps to strengthen ties around digital security, critical resources and a would-be fleet of Canadian water bombers, according to a draft joint statement ahead of a major summit at month’s end.
The document, seen by The Canadian Press, states that Ottawa and Brussels aim to let Canadian companies bid on cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure contracts typically reserved for European companies in another push away from dependence on the United States.
US President Donald Trump has called off plans to livestream the execution of former US army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan by firing squad.
Trump had previously said he approved of showing online the death of the Fort Hood attacker, while Vice-President JD Vance cast doubt on whether it would happen and said he would not watch it.
As criticism over the public display mounted, Trump said on Thursday that “many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die”.
The West will need to be more Sparta less Athens soon.
Ilhan Omar’s congressional staff pushed to change the Minnesota Democrat’s birthdate in official state records months after she won her seat in 2018, according to a bombshell new report.
The Somali-born congresswoman had been listed as born on October 4, 1981 by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library throughout her time in the state House. Wikipedia and news outlets including the BBC carried the same date on her biography.
However, in May 2019, her aides asked the library to move the year forward to 1982, according to emails obtained by the New York Post.
TORONTO — Premier Doug Ford told the Empire Club of Canada Wednesday that Ontario’s plan to protect the province is already producing results and that the province must treat U.S. tariffs as a permanent feature of the relationship with its largest trading partner.
Speaking at the club’s annual state-of-the-province event, Ford said Canada’s economic partnership with the United States “has changed permanently” and that the province needs to plan accordingly.
We’re done.
OTTAWA — The United States’ ambassador in Ottawa says Canada might be conducting “election interference” ahead of his country’s midterm votes in November, and warns the American government “will respond” if it concludes Canada is meddling in U.S. politics.
The U.S. embassy posted a video Wednesday morning of remarks that Ambassador Pete Hoekstra made during a recent appearance on The Really Big Show.
In the video, Hoekstra says the U.S. government is “closely watching Canadian activities, because it appears that some of this — from our perspective, and the way that we view our elections — could be inferred to be election interference.”

On October 8, Oscar Belgal was shot and wounded by an agent of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Manhattan. Agents had been attempting to apprehend Belgal, an illegal alien, and deport him back to his native Dominican Republic.
The shooting was immediately and predictably denounced by New York City’s left-wing politicians, though none of the relevant facts had yet been established.
In 2024, a rash of cheap online polls skewed forecasts, underestimating Donald Trump’s eventual margin of victory.
This time around, a handful of pollsters have spotted another possible error in a type of survey that finds participants by sending out SMS messages, called text-to-web polling.
They say it is returning a disproportionate number of disenchanted Trump voters who have switched sides.
The federal investigation that prompted the search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. residence on Monday centers on claims that she or her late father may have lied on decades-old immigration paperwork to secure legal status and eventually U.S. citizenship, three people familiar with the matter said.
Omar — a Minnesota Democrat who was born in Somalia and fled civil war there with her family before eventually immigrating to the United States in 1995 — has repeatedly rejected such allegations, which have circulated in conservative media for years. She dismissed them again in a statement Monday as “baseless lies and smear campaigns.”
This legendary Canadian musician just became a U.S. citizen
After more than 60 years of living in the U.S., Joni Mitchell has become an American citizen.
On Tuesday, the 82-year-old singer-songwriter posted a photo and video on Instagram of her citizenship ceremony with the caption, “A journey that began 62 years ago.”
I wonder what Carney told Joni Mitchell to make her jump ship.

Seems she’s had TDS for 60 years as well.
Sure, on paper, Rep. Ilhan Omar is a radical leftist crossed with a Islamic activist (a fairly typical profile on the contemporary Left) but in some ways she’s a throwback to the kind of insanely corrupt Democrat who would just commit crimes to see what he could get away with.
For reasons obvious to most readers of this column, I’m currently doing lots of podcast and radio interviews about Cuba. It’s been a timely subject for most of this year, though right at the moment there isn’t a lot happening which would augur a major transformation of that “imprisoned island,” as President Kennedy called it.
It’s timely, because everybody understands that the status quo in Cuba can’t endure for much longer. The current regime in Cuba is running out of time.
In more aftermath and outrage coverage over the raid on Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar’s Home on Monday, MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian continued his previous defense and disdain for the raid by implying there are many “fudged facts” on immigration papers. Tuesday’s Morning Joe also joined the defense of Omar amid the raid and called it “deeply unorthodox” and “concerning.”
