Enbridge seeks federal jurisdiction in U.S. Great Lakes oil pipeline dispute

TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. – Enbridge Energy moved Wednesday to shift to federal court a Michigan lawsuit seeking shutdown of an oil pipeline that runs beneath a channel linking two of the Great Lakes.

The Canadian company argued that a 2019 lawsuit filed in a state court by Attorney General Dana Nessel should be heard by U.S. District Judge Janet Neff, who last month retained jurisdiction over a separate case initiated by Enbridge to keep oil flowing through its Line 5.

But Nessel said the “outrageous maneuver” violates a federal rule that moving cases from one court to another must be done within 30 days of the initial filing.

Canada’s Supreme Court to hear appeal of U.S. asylum seeker pact that prevents our borders being overrun by asylum shoppers

TORONTO, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Canada’s Supreme Court said on Thursday it will hear an appeal seeking to overturn a pact with the United States under which Canada turns back asylum-seekers at land border crossings coming from the United States.

As a result, refugee advocates will have a chance to make their case against the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement in Canada’s highest court.

Under the agreement, signed in 2002, asylum-seekers presenting at U.S.-Canada border crossings are turned back and told to apply for refugee status in the first country in which they arrived.

CAIR backs leader after ‘virulently anti-Semitic’ speech attacking mainstream Jewish entities

“As someone who has been repeatedly attacked by Zahra Billoo for almost 15 years, I am amused that the Anti-Defamation League, Jewish Federations, Hillels and ‘Zionist synagogues’ only become upset with her when she called them out as ‘polite Zionists,’ ” said Daniel Pipes, president of the Middle East Forum. “Glad you woke up, guys, and welcome to the club.”

The ADL etc just end up looking bad.

“This is textbook vile, anti-Semitic, conspiracy-laden garbage attacking the mainstream U.S. Jewish community. It sounds like something you would expect from white supremacists,” tweeted Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL’s CEO.

He’s just discovering their true nature now? What a bullshit charade.

Islamist front group CAIR fires Ohio leader for working with ‘anti-Muslim group’ Investigative Project on Terrorism

An Ohio chapter of the nation’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization fires its leader, Romin Iqbal, for ethical and professional breaches that it says include a years-long secret association with an anti-Muslim group.

The probe found “conclusive evidence that Iqbal had spent years recording CAIR network meetings and passing information regarding CAIR’s national advocacy work to a known anti-Muslim hate group,” a release says.

During a briefing, spokesperson Whitney Siddiqi identifies the group as the Investigative Project on Terrorism, led by Steve Emerson.

Accused Islamic State soldier from Dearborn loses evidence fight against feds

Ibraheem Musaibli – Muslim terrorist

A federal judge Monday refused to suppress texts and statements made to federal agents by an accused Islamic State fighter from Dearborn captured on a Syrian battlefield three years ago, dealing a setback to the defense of a rare foreign fighter brought back to America to face charges.

Texts Ibraheem Musaibli, 31, exchanged with an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force officer and comments the Dearborn man said while being flown back to the United States aboard a customized C-17 military cargo plane were made voluntarily, U.S. District Judge David Lawson wrote in a federal court filing. Musaibli talked to the officer after being advised of his rights, the judge added.

The generals’ belated awakening

It is beginning to dawn on the Israelis that when it comes to Iran’s nuclear program, the Jewish state stands alone.

Something is changing in the assessment of the Iranian nuclear threat among Israel’s military brass. Evidence is growing that members of the IDF General Staff and Mossad are beginning to realize that the United States doesn’t share Israel’s goal of preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Last week, for instance, Michael Makovsky, head of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), a Washington-based group that cultivates ties between Israeli and U.S. generals, published an article in the New York Post in which he described their rude awakening.

Biden’s handlers are Obama 2.0.

“Is the Biden Administration at War with Israel?”

On May 2018, when the United States Embassy in Jerusalem was inaugurated on the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel’s founding, the US consulate in Jerusalem became useless and quickly shut its gates. Now, in 2021, the current US Biden administration wants to reopen the consulate, “for the Palestinians”, Arabs ruled by the Palestinian Authority.

Seeing this proposal as a threat to Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declined the request.

Canada should ‘prepare for the worst’ if Biden’s Build Back Better Act passes with EV tax credit: Ng

Canadians should “prepare for the worst” if U.S. lawmakers decide to greenlight President Joe Biden’s protectionist Build Back Better Act with the inclusion of the contentious electric vehicle tax credit, says International Trade Minister Mary Ng.

In an interview on CTV’s Question Period with Evan Solomon airing Sunday, Ng spoke to a letter she co-signed with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, which threatens retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. if the tax credit isn’t amended.

“What my hope is, is that we are not going to have to do this at all but what is really important is that Canada prepares for the worst,” she said.
