Top Democrats Are Agitating For Insurrection And Political Vigilantism

Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left.

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.”

With Trump’s Venezuela move and Greenland threats, are Canadians vulnerable?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s increasingly bellicose stance on taking over Greenland and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro are combining to trigger questions and theories about what the White House may have in mind for Canada.

The Trump administration’s moves come on the heels of its vow to “reassert and enforce” American pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere, spelled out officially in a new national security strategy.

Showdown Expected as U.S. Plans European Visit About Greenland

In justifying his desire to ‘take’ Greenland, Donald Trump effectively dismissed Europe’s militaristic capabilities, saying—in capitals, of course—“I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM.”

Washington insists it needs the island for security, an issue which it clearly doesn’t trust Europe to keep a handle on, and is currently not ruling out military intervention.

Europe’s continued release of statements in support of Denmark’s control of Greenland comes in spite of the fact leaders would rather the matter was settled by others, suggesting that they are well aware of their own weaknesses.

More … Greenland should hold talks with the US without Denmark, opposition leader says

COPENHAGEN, Jan 8 (Reuters) – Greenland should hold direct talks with the U.S. government without Denmark, a Greenlandic opposition leader told Reuters, as the Arctic island weighs how to respond to President Donald Trump’s renewed push to bring it under U.S. control.

Federal agents shoot 2 alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers who ‘weaponized’ car in Portland Oregon

Federal agents allegedly shot two people in Oregon Thursday afternoon – just one day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent gunned down anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota during a chaotic caught-on-camera operation, according to cops.

An unidentified man and woman were both found with gunshot wounds near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street in Portland around 2:20 p.m. local time, after the man called authorities for help, according to the Portland Police Department.

Details are a bit sketchy

Trump predicts US will run Venezuela for at least a year: ‘I would say much longer’

President Trump suggested Wednesday that the US will oversee Venezuela for at least a year following the Jan. 3 arrest of the South American country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, on federal drug and weapons charges.

“We will rebuild it in a very profitable way,” Trump told the New York Times in a lengthy interview. “We’re going to be using oil, and we’re going to be taking oil. We’re getting oil prices down, and we’re going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need.”

Trump suspends U.S. support for 66 international organizations

The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the UN’s population agency and the UN treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global co-operation.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending support for 66 organizations, agencies and commissions following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House statement on social media.

Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labour and other issues that the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives.

The CBC is shocked. I wish we had a party willing to take similar action.

The trouble with Carney

The trouble with Carney

“Thucydides warned that “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” Carney’s tragedy is that he quotes the rules‑based order while presiding over a country whose economic structure is colonial and whose security ultimately depends on the very power he is theatrically chastising. Posturing without power is not prudence. It is provocation without a plan. And yes it’s dangerous.”

The China Class sent Chretien in advance of Carney’s arrival. The Liberal Party should have to register as foreign agents.

Carney may not be working with Trump but he certainly isn’t working for us.

Canada’s armed forces are planning for threats from America

Canada never had an equivalent of Uncle Sam, sternly exhorting its citizens to sign up to fight for their country. That is changing. Jennie Carignan, Canada’s top soldier, is looking for Canadians—whether they are 16 or 65—who will come to their country’s aid in the event of a military attack or calamitous natural disaster. “We’re going to need heavy-equipment operators,” says General Carignan. “We’re going to need drone operators. We’re going to potentially need cyber operators as well.” Call her Aunt Jennie.

There is no direct line between her plan for a 400,000-strong civilian-defence force and Donald Trump plucking Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro, from his safe house in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, on January 3rd. But nor is the timing entirely coincidental. In the past year Mr Trump has repeatedly asserted that it would be in Canada’s interest to become America’s 51st state. No one in a position of responsibility really believes the United States would ever invade. Even Mr Trump himself, when asked whether he would use military force to annex Canada, has said “no”, or that it is “very unlikely”.

Denmark ‘will shoot first and ask questions later’ over Greenland

Danish soldiers will be required to shoot first and ask questions later if the United States invades Greenland, under the army’s rules of engagement.

On Wednesday, the Danish defence ministry confirmed the existence of a 1952 rule requiring soldiers to “immediately” counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders.

The defence ministry also said that the rule “remains in force” when asked about its status by Berlingske, a centre-Right Danish newspaper.

Legal experts weigh in on deadly Minneapolis ICE shooting — and whether charges are possible

The Minneapolis woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a deadly confrontation Wednesday likely committed a serious felony offense — even if she did not intend to ram the federal officer with her vehicle, according to a former federal prosecutor and legal scholar.

Andrew C. McCarthy, the former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York, noted that to him, video footage of the events leading up to the shooting does not appear to show Renee Nicole Good, 37, trying to intentionally run over the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots.

What the Upcoming US Supreme Court Decision on Trump’s Tariffs Could Mean for Canada

Ottawa, Washington, and the world are eagerly awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on some of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Tariffs have been among the key measures Trump has used to reshape U.S. international relations since his second election, often wielding them, or the threat of them, for trade leverage or broader geopolitical aims.

MCTEAGUE: Will Maduro’s fall be Canada’s wake-up call?

In the wee small hours of January 3, Canada’s economic future sustained a serious blow.

It was at that time that American law enforcement, supported by the US Army’s Delta Force, apprehended the brutal Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, enforcing a years-old indictment for narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and related offenses.

Here’s Why Democrats Are Subjugating Themselves To Somalis In Humiliation Rituals

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., declared herself to be “Somalia First.” Soyboy Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey danced before a group of Somalis on stage waving the Somali flag of Minnesota in a parody of pandering. Not to be outdone, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan recently dressed in a hijab and extolled how “the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota.” These videos need to be encased in glass and paraded through the country, displayed like Tutankhamen’s treasures were in 1977 as a glorious open window into what the left is.

Cuba’s Security-State Colonization in Americas, Proven by Deaths of 32 Intelligence Agents Surrounding Maduro: Lima

Cuba complains about the CBC, imagine that.

For years, the Cuban regime has insisted that its presence in Venezuela was benign—limited to doctors, nurses, and sports trainers offering humanitarian solidarity. The deaths of 32 Cuban military and intelligence personnel while defending Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro have now shattered that fiction.

As early as March 2019, Cuba’s ambassador to Canada, Josefina Vidal, appeared on CBC News to denounce Canadian reporting on Cuba’s security intervention in Venezuela. She dismissed the claims outright: “The assertion that thousands of Cubans would allegedly be inserted into the structures of the armed and security forces of Venezuela, supporting the government of (legitimate) President Nicolás Maduro, is a scandalous slander,” she said, demanding proof.
