IT should surprise no-one that hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri is pleading to come back from his tough US jail – but, put simply, the Americans must tell him to abandon all hope of an escape to a softer regime.
Life for the notorious Islamist firebrand inside the US high security prison will have been a shock after the soft-soap treatment he received in the UK, where his dangerous preaching was indulged for years.
Don’t put anything past the Biden clown-show so long as Joe gets his 10%,
Hundreds of publishing officials, professors, and academics have signed a petition to blacklist Trump administration alumni from receiving book deals. It is the latest step in a rapidly expanding anti-free speech movement in the United States. In the wake of the Capitol riot, Democratic members and others are calling for a crackdown on free speech and punitive actions for those viewed as complicit with Trump. What is striking is how censorship, blacklists, and speech controls are being repackaged as righteous and virtuous. Indeed, the failure to sign such anti-free speech screeds is a precarious choice for many. It is as easy as calling for tolerance through intolerance. After all, why burn books if you can just effectively ban them?
One week after he entered the 17th year of his four-year term in office, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas finally announced new parliamentary and presidential elections, scheduled to take place in May and July 2021.
His announcement was carefully timed to coincide with the inauguration week of President Joe Biden and in response to immense pressure from the European Union.
Abbas’s announcement, which many Palestinians take as seriously as they would take the alleged sighting of a UFO, is part of an attempt to curry favor with the Biden administration and the EU.
On his first day as president, Joe Biden pulled the pin on Keystone XL.
The political fallout reverberated on both sides of the border, as pipeline opponents set their sights on other infrastructure that transports Canadian oil into the United States, such as Enbridge’s Line 3 replacement project.
Go ahead Libs, just keep repeating “Orange Man Bad”.
A Twitter account bearing the name of Iran leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was suspended on Friday — 17 hours after tweeting a death threat to former President Donald Trump vowing “revenge” over the killing of top Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
The tweet from bogus Khamenei account @khamenei_site on Thursday depicted the likeness of Trump on the golf course being targeted by a drone flying overhead.
“Revenge is inevitable,” says the tweet, translated from Farsi.
Oh yea. I forgot. Orange man bad!
It struck me as odd that an American stealth bomber was used as the vengeance weapon of choice, then I remembered the Biden administration is now in power.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced anger from some of Canada’s premiers Thursday over U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project — including heated calls for punishment that could fracture ties between the two allies.
The First Ministers call, which lasted just over an hour, also touched on the coronavirus pandemic and issues with the nationwide vaccine rollout, sources told Global News. But Canada-U.S. relations in the wake of Biden’s controversial move dominated the discussion.
Joe Biden used an executive order to kill the Keystone XL pipeline permit on his first day as president. The move, which was expected because Biden said he would do it, drew sharp criticism from Texas, where the pipeline would have ended in the Houston area.
US President Joe Biden has cancelled permits for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
The pipeline had been projected to carry oil nearly 1,200 miles (1,900km) from the Canadian province of Alberta down to Nebraska, to join an existing pipeline.
Environmentalists and Native American groups have fought the project for more than a decade.
Development of the pipeline was blocked by the Obama administration in 2015, but President Trump overturned that order and allowed it go ahead.
Canadian politicians and diplomats welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris with warm wishes and optimism Wednesday, with talk of “bright days ahead” despite ongoing cross-border challenges.
Could we be seeing buyers’ remorse? A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Sunday shows a double-digit increase in the percentage of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track. In December it was 49%, and it has jumped to 65%. While the pollster theorizes this has to do with the Capitol riot and second impeachment, it could just as easily be the insight we have gotten from the fictitious “Office of the President-Elect” and Joe Biden.
Well, that was fast. On day one, the new U.S. president, Joe Biden, is reportedly willing to gut-punch his northern neighbour by cancelling a presidential permit for the construction of Keystone XL.
It is an insult. Full stop. Mineral fuels are Canada’s largest export to the U.S. — at over US$89 billion in 2019 — two-thirds more important than auto vehicles and parts. Almost 3,000 direct jobs and another 14,000 indirect jobs will be lost in Canada with the cancellation of Keystone XL. Because of reduced pipeline capacity, Canadian heavy oil will often sell at a discount, resulting in billions of dollars in lost GDP and federal and provincial tax revenues.
I doubt Justin will come riding to Alberta’s rescue.

President-elect Joe Biden’s spokeswoman on Sunday reaffirmed plans to hold the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol, saying it will highlight the “resilience of American democracy” amid safety concerns and a heightened security posture following last week’s violent breach of the complex.
U.S. president-elect Joe Biden has indicated plans to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit via executive action on his first day in office, sources confirmed to CBC News on Sunday.
A purported briefing note from the Biden transition team mentioning the plan was widely circulated over the weekend after being shared by the incoming president’s team with U.S. stakeholders.
The words “Rescind Keystone XL pipeline permit” appear on a list of executive actions supposedly scheduled for Day 1 of Biden’s presidency.
Justin is happy.
