Trump Directs Military to Target Foreign Drug Cartels

President Trump has secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels that his administration has deemed terrorist organizations, according to people familiar with the matter.

The decision to bring the American military into the fight is the most aggressive step so far in the administration’s escalating campaign against the cartels. It signals Mr. Trump’s continued willingness to use military forces to carry out what has primarily been considered a law enforcement responsibility to curb the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs.

The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels.

Jewish Father Brutally Assaulted in Montreal Park While Children Watch in Terror

Thank Canada’s elites and their swell immigration policy.

If you advocate for mass immigration, DEI, multicult and diversity you are the enemy of Canada.

Some further context, was it a random attack by a deranged individual, was it antisemitic or both?

Officer killed in shooting outside CDC HQ in Atlanta by gunman who reportedly blamed COVID vaccine for illness

A cop was killed when an unhinged masked gunman who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for an apparent illness unleashed a hail of bullets outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta on Friday, according to police and reports.

The deranged suspect, who died at the scene, opened fire on at least four CDC buildings and then stormed into a building across the street that houses a CVS at Georgia’s Emory University around 4:50 p.m., forcing students to shelter in place on the last day of the summer term, authorities said.

Israel losing Canadian hearts and minds as poll shows growing outrage over Gaza

OTTAWA – A new poll suggests Israel is losing the battle for hearts and minds in Canada, with more Canadians now reporting their sympathies lie with Palestinians due to moral outrage over the war in Gaza.

Another poll suggests a slight majority of younger Canadians now say they’re optimistic about the prospects for peace in the Middle East — just as the broader public’s mood returns to the pessimism seen decades ago.

“There is absolutely disappointment in the actions of the current Israeli government,” said Adam Chapnick, a professor with the Royal Military College.

Online polls are not a hill to die on and given much of our media are water carriers for Hamas they cannot be trusted.

‘I was Epstein’s butler for 18 years. There’s no way he killed himself’

Jeffrey Epstein “loved life too much” to kill himself and was confident of securing bail before he died, his butler for 18 years has told The Telegraph.

In an interview that will heap renewed pressure on the Trump administration to make the Epstein files public, one of his closest aides said he had spoken to the paedophile financier before he died and insisted he had been in good spirits.

Valdson Vieira Cotrin, who ran Epstein’s Paris home, told The Telegraph he could not accept the official verdict of suicide and feared that his own life was in danger.

GIESBRECHT: The Kamloops boondoggle

What is a “boondoggle,” and how does it differ from a “scandal”?

Although its modern meaning is “an extravagant, or useless project,” “boondoggle” originally came from the name that was given to the bracelets and neckerchief slides made by Boy Scouts a century ago, while “scandal” originally came from the Greek “to stumble” before eventually arriving at its modern meaning of “disgrace” or “wrongdoing”.

What’s wrong with being proud to be English?

So the Lionesses were victorious in the UEFA Women’s Euros, holding the title they won in 2022. England forward Chloe Kelly, who scored the decisive penalty in the final against Spain, declared after the match: ‘I am so proud to be English.’

To hear a sports star make such a simple and patriotic statement was, for most of us, a pleasant breath of fresh air. Just as refreshing has been the muted response to her declaration of national pride. In the week or so since, there have been no online campaigns denouncing Kelly’s views as ‘problematic’. This raises the question: is it just the Lionesses who are allowed to be patriotic?

KLEIN: Carney sits idle as billions of dollars flow to the U.S.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been in office long enough for Canadians to start asking a simple, unavoidable question: What is he actually doing?

Yes, we are pleased that goods compliant with the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) remain tariff-free. That is the baseline expectation for a modern trade relationship with our largest trading partner. But that small relief is overshadowed by the fact that tariffs on other Canadian goods have jumped to 35%. Those tariffs don’t just hurt Canadian exporters; they hit American businesses and workers as well. They weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world.

Sorry, Billionaires—There’s No Escape

You’ll need help getting to your compound in New Zealand, and your helpers will want to come too.

For many years I flew airplanes out of the Santa Monica Airport, 2 miles from my home. I told a fellow pilot that one benefit of the license and the plane was the ability to extract my family from a societal breakdown. He agreed but noted that the difficulty would be the last hundred yards before the airport.

Now comes news that American billionaires have prepared compounds in New Zealand in case of apocalypse. Thoughtfully stocked with all that the group would require—air, water, food, entertainment—they stand ready to receive the ultraprivileged. Well and good, but their fantasy, like mine, is flawed. For what is the size of the group for which they foresee transportation, protection and perpetual care?

Democratic Socialists of America Hold Panel on Abolishing the Family

These people are insane – but serious and committed.

Earlier this week the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) uploaded to YouTube the video of a panel discussion from its annual Socialism Conference, held in Chicago over Independence Day weekend. For those who hear the term democratic socialism and picture happy Scandinavians living their best lives instead of being chewed up in a capitalist rat race, it’s worth noting that the discussion featured open calls for the abolition of the nuclear family in the United States.
