Why more young US women appear ready to move abroad

Aubrey and her wife are preparing to leave the United States for Costa Rica in January – a decision they haven’t taken lightly, after building a life as homeowners in upstate New York.

She says months of unease about the political climate in the United States – from debates over LGBT rights to concerns about basic safety – finally tipped them into making a plan to leave.

Her story could be far from unique, according to a recent survey by US analytics firm Gallup, which suggests 40% of American women aged 15 to 44 would move abroad if they had the opportunity.

President Trump’s Farsighted Policy on Venezuela, Iran’s ‘Second Home’ in the Americas

Iran has recently come out publicly, voicing strong support for Venezuela against the United States. Its statement reflects a deep strategic and military relationship that serves multiple interests for Tehran. The Iranian regime openly views its partnership with Venezuela as a rare foothold in the Western Hemisphere, a staging ground for influence, and a safe haven for key figures and networks. The relationship encompasses military cooperation, intelligence sharing, support for proxy groups, and opportunities for illicit trade, all of which bolster Iran’s global reach while challenging U.S. interests.

Ontario judge questions U.S. case against Deepak Paradkar at bail hearing

An Ontario Superior Court justice repeatedly questioned the strength of evidence Friday against a Toronto-area lawyer facing extradition to the United States on charges tied to fugitive and alleged cocaine kingpin Ryan Wedding.

During a bail hearing for Deepak Paradkar, Justice Peter Bawden pushed back on Crown submissions that if the suspended lawyer were released pending the outcome of his extradition hearing, he would be a flight risk.

Is British civilisation really being erased?

Mass migration risks making the UK and its neighbours ‘unrecognisable’. America could one day cut them loose

Donald Trump’s description of Europe, offered in an interview with Politico last week, was characteristically blunt: “What they’re doing with immigration is a disaster.” Unless this changes, some nations “will not be viable countries any longer”, with politicians like Sadiq Khan “elected because so many people have come in. They vote for him now”.

It was an assessment that came hard on the heels of the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy, which warned that Europe would be “unrecognisable in 20 years” and risked “civilisational erasure”.

Cry the Beloved Europe?

Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization.

Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans.

Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could offer any constructive advice, much less help a more civilized Europe follow the “American model.”

Globe Triggered! Trump Was Mean!

Donald Trump has taken the mask off about immigrants in the U.S.

The United States was once a country that proudly proclaimed itself to be a nation of immigrants. That’s always been caveated, of course; the drive to “secure the border” has long obsessed both parties. But attacking pluralism is a full-on ideological anchor of President Donald Trump’s second administration, which has been unwavering in its promised anti-immigrant agenda.

This week, the xenophobic rhetoric reached a fever pitch when Mr. Trump launched into an anti-immigrant tirade, lamenting immigration to the United States from “hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries,” which he condemned as “filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime.” These comments followed a major shift in immigration policy, what the President called a “permanent pause” on immigration applications from 19 countries, including Iran, Haiti and Sudan, including asylum applications, green card processing and naturalization applications.


 All those countries mentioned are backward shitholes.

Canada’s idiot Lib-left is still caught up in their Noble Savage fixation and can’t wrap their head around the simple fact President Trump is protecting his people from predatory illegal alien invaders and the incompatible cultures allowed in by President Dementia & Obama.

Oh well the Globe has to play to their audience I suppose. Smug anti-Americanism still works with the Elbow people. God help us.

Trump expands Venezuela sanctions as Maduro decries new ‘era of piracy’

Donald Trump has exerted more pressure on Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro, expanding sanctions and issuing fresh threats to strike land targets in Venezuela, as the South American dictator accused the US president of ushering in a new “era of criminal naval piracy” in the Caribbean.

Late on Thursday, the US imposed curbs on three nephews of Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, as well as six crude oil supertankers and the shipping companies linked to them. The treasury department alleged the vessels “engaged in deceptive and unsafe shipping practices and continue to provide financial resources that fuel Maduro’s corrupt narco-terrorist regime”.

How Trump’s Maga allies are cultivating a European ‘resistance’

Drinks parties with the Russians and scathing criticism of centrist governments could morph into Cold War-esque interference across the Continent

On the remote shoulders of a mountain 50 miles east of Rome, the Trisulti charterhouse stands as a monument to the difficulty of establishing a European version of the Make America Great Again movement.

It was in this 700-year-old Carthusian monastery on Monte Rotonaria that Steve Bannon, the America First ideologue and former chief strategist to President Trump, attempted to set up a “gladiator school” for national-conservative culture warriors from across Europe.

The Academy for the Judeo-Christian West, as it was known, soon got bogged down in legal action and an eviction attempt by the Italian culture ministry.

Trump Weighs Terror Label for UNRWA Over Hamas Ties

The Trump administration is considering designating the UN’s Palestinian relief agency, UNRWA, as a terrorist organization, a move that would expose it to U.S. sanctions amid mounting allegations of deep ties to Hamas.

Washington was long the largest donor to UNRWA but halted funding in January 2024 after Israel accused several UNRWA staff of involvement in the deadly October 7th, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack that triggered the conflict in Gaza.

Two defectors say Trump was right all along about Venezuela being a narcostate …

One of the worst “narratives” about Venezuela’s dictatorship revolves around whether the socialist hellhole is a narcostate, justifying President Trump’s emerging military buildup in the Caribbean, including Naval strikes on speedboats transferring state-produced cocaine to the U.S. If the Venezuelan state is, it’s a narcostate.

The Democrat-deep state-news media complex has been spreading the piece-by-piece narrative that they aren’t.
