The Chinese Dragon Lurks Beneath the Pacific

The Chinese Dragon Lurks Beneath the Pacific

In an era when artificial intelligence is guiding drones in deadly attacks in Ukraine, it would be understandable to focus exclusively on what that now means on the battlefield.

This would be a grave mistake.

Few in the West have noticed that China just test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine, using the waters of the South Pacific as their testing site.

US and Canada brawl over hockey sticks — so China skates off with big trade wins

US and Canada brawl over hockey sticks — so China skates off with big trade wins

It’s like a fistfight between conjoined twins: The United States and Canada are throwing tariffs and insults at each other tit-for-tat in one of the most unnecessary trade wars in recent memory.

“I don’t want Canadian cars. I don’t want Canadian parts. I don’t want Canadian anything,” President Donald Trump posted Sunday, before comparing the tariffs on Canada to his administration’s war against Iran.

But while Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney try to check each other into the boards, China is skating free — scoring economic goals at will and choking out North American manufacturing.

Carney lies.

HYSTERICAL: Oliver Darcy MELTS DOWN Over CBS Story on El-Sayed’s Deleted 9/11 Tweets

In their collective Trump Derangement, the Elitist Media will grab and hold on to anything they can in order to claw their way back to Regime Media in service of Democrats in power. Most egregious of these are the Hall Monitor subset, who will seemingly defend anyone and anything standing opposite a Republican.

Trade talks collapsed. Now Canada and the US are fighting over why.

Trade talks collapsed. Now Canada and the US are fighting over why.

Janice Charette, Canada’s top trade negotiator to the United States, is challenging Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s version of events that a last-minute ask by the Canadians on autos caught the Trump administration by surprise and helped doom the deal.

Ever since talks collapsed on Aug. 21, Canadian and American officials have been blaming each other for making too many last-minute requests. Both sides are now jostling for credibility as reliable narrators, while the fallout risks further escalating the trade war.

Immigration: Too Much of a Good Thing? Muslim Immigration: Too Much of a Bad Thing.

Immigration: Too Much of a Good Thing? Muslim Immigration: Too Much of a Bad Thing.

There is no universally agreed-upon number of immigrants who have entered and settled in the United States over the past 20 years. The number is typically described as “tens of millions,” with anywhere from 1-3 million entering each year, depending on the year.

Then you have illegal aliens, whose numbers are impossible to know. Then you have asylum seekers, who likely will become permanent residents, but not certainly.

Canadian special elections indicate voters backing Carney’s stand against Trump

Canadian special elections indicate voters backing Carney’s stand against Trump

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party swept three special elections late on Monday, in polls that were seen as a key test of whether voters supported his tough stance against President Donald Trump amid a trade war.

Results on Monday showed the Liberals secured contested seats in Quebec, Toronto and British Columbia, according to Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC. The biggest win for the Liberals was in a district in Quebec held by the Conservatives since 2018. The other two seats were already held by Liberals.


Inbred anti-Americanism combined with a dose of TDS is more like it.

Le Pen Vows Referendum on Fines for Islamic Veiling of Women and Girls

Le Pen Vows Referendum on Fines for Islamic Veiling of Women and Girls

Vox populi, vox Dei appears to be the operating strategy for Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party, which has committed to multiple popular referendums should she be elected as the next President of France, including on a potential law to “combat Islamist ideologies” within the country.

The frontrunning presidential candidate confirmed on Monday that, to enforce the ban on Islamic veils in public, she would seek to hold a referendum to impose fines on those who flout the 2010 law, which is currently rarely enforced.

How Trump cut antifa’s global leftist lifeline — and struck a blow for democracy

How Trump cut antifa’s global leftist lifeline — and struck a blow for democracy

Left-wing terrorism is a serious problem in the United States, though for political reasons it doesn’t receive anything like the attention right-wing violence gets.

For example, when most people think of violence connected to abortion, they imagine attacks on abortion clinics — yet lately pro-abortion extremists have been firebombing crisis pregnancy centers across the country.

Canada’s auto sector is marked for death. What now?

Canada’s auto sector is marked for death. What now?

Autos were at heart of the recent collapse of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to enact a 50-per-cent auto tariff in January makes it unlikely that we can maintain an integrated North American automotive market while he is around.

Mr. Trump has often proclaimed that Canada should not be producing any vehicles. On Sunday he posted on social media: “I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything.”

Trump suggests he is reviewing US support for UK over Falkland Islands

Trump suggests he is reviewing US support for UK over Falkland Islands

Donald Trump has suggested he is reconsidering US support for Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, in a move likely to strain the “special relationship” between Washington and London.

“I always review every position – that’s just one of many,” the US president told reporters in the White House, in response to a question about whether he was reviewing the US’s position over the South Atlantic islands, an archipelago whose status has long been disputed by Argentina, which claims sovereignty.

Officially, the US takes a neutral position on who has rightful sovereignty over the islands, which Britain first claimed in the late 17th century and has held almost continually since 1833. In practice, it recognizes British administration over the territory, which was the subject of an Argentinian invasion and subsequent military conflict with Britain in 1982.

Mark Carney tells US to ‘start being serious’ amid escalating trade war

Mark Carney has rebuked Donald Trump’s administration and urged officials in Washington to “start being serious” amid escalating trade tensions between the US and Canada.

Days before Canada is due to retaliate against Trump’s sweeping tariffs with its own duties on US goods, the Canadian prime minister criticized US officials for insulting his country. “It is beneath their office,” he said.

“When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions” about trade, Carney said.

AOC’s pivot for 2028 has begun. Will it work?

AOC’s pivot for 2028 has begun. Will it work?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is jockeying for position ahead of her possible 2028 presidential bid and zeroing in on what is her biggest weakness: electability.

If she enters what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary, Ocasio-Cortez would be the most well-known liberal in the field and would attract much of the support that backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries.
