This Idea Explains a Lot About What Has Happened in Trump 2.0

Elon Musk may be swapping insults with President Trump after pivoting away from politics and stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency, but the broader initiative, driven by what he described as a mission to end the “tyranny of the bureaucracy,” will soldier on. Even if its impact on government spending remains limited, DOGE’s aggressive approach has rattled Washington’s political establishment.

The administration’s war against the bureaucracy didn’t emerge from the mind of President Trump or Mr. Musk alone. Nor is it the product of traditional conservative preoccupations with shrinking government and reducing spending. Its roots and motivations are far deeper.

It is the culmination of a once marginalized, now transformative strand of political thought about who really holds power in the modern American system. Namely, that our democracy has been usurped by a permanent ruling class of wholly unaccountable managers and bureaucrats.

Is the U.S. still a ‘safe’ country for refugees?

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, tens of thousands of American citizens sought, and gained, refuge in Canada. They weren’t technically refugees – most applied for landed immigrant status – but what they were seeking was, in effect, a safe place to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.

The official policy of Canada’s “Department of Manpower and Immigration” was not to ask about applicants’ military status; these were mostly young, educated, middle-upper-class men, after all – making them precisely the type of “desirable” immigrant seen to offer benefits to Canada.

“Conservative columnists” who expect everyone else to foot the bill for their virtue signaling are tiresome.

There are precious few actual refugees if any fleeing the US into Canada.

Global Greening From Higher CO2 Hits “Striking” New Heights – but the Mainstream Media Won’t Tell You About It

Significant new evidence has emerged of widespread and significant increases in plant vegetation across the Earth due to the recent rise of the trace gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Using what they describe as True Significant Trends – a workflow programme integrating sophisticated spatial and time-period data – a geographer and an agrobiologist in Spain found “robust quantitative evidence” of widespread global greening, describing it as “striking” – “with a significant portion of Earth’s terrestrial land surface showing measurable increases in vegetation cover over the last four decades”.

Jamie Sarkonak: Carney’s border bill doesn’t go nearly far enough to curb immigration

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first major piece of legislation certainly offers the appearance of change. Whether it will actually deliver, well, that’s less certain.

From afar, Bill C-2 seems to be a return to order. At 140 pages, it covers a lot of ground, proposing amendments to federal drug and immigration laws, as well as those covering the mail, the ocean and the chemicals that go into street drugs. Systemic and wide-ranging change seems to be the intent.

The Liberals will keep the immigration flood gates open.

Newspaper’s ‘disgraceful’ puff piece on Boulder attack suspect’s daughter faces avalanche of criticism

USA Today was forced to heavily edit a story on the daughter of the Colorado terror suspect after thousands hammered the newspaper’s glowing puff piece for excluding horrific details of the attack.

The article, originally published Tuesday, did not specifically state that 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamed Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a group of pro-Israel demonstrators.

The revised version added this detail to the body of the story and to the headline, with an editor’s note saying the story had been updated to provide ‘context and detail’.

Left-wing violence is being normalized

We’ve come to a series of startling conclusions about a change that’s happening in US society

Something has changed in America’s psyche. Violence has become more acceptable. It’s not just that we’ve seen two attempted – and very nearly successful – attacks on Donald Trump’s life, it’s that a worrying number of young Americans cheered on those attempted assassinations and still wish they had succeeded.

Since early this year there has been widespread public support for smashing up Tesla dealerships – and for shooting Elon Musk. An unprecedented 10,000 new threats have been made against Senate and congressional members just this year, according to Capitol Police.

Applause for the actual murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December goes on, unabated, online. His handsome young accused killer, Luigi Mangione, is praised, respected and even worshipped by a small – but growing – social media community. Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing two Israeli embassy officials in Washington on May 21, had praised Mangione on his social media.

NAVARRO-GENIE: Pipeline failure is national security failure

As Prime Minister Mark Carney recently met with U.S. President Donald Trump, one issue loomed over every handshake and headline — energy.

Canada has a generational opportunity to emerge as the world’s most reliable democratic energy supplier. But instead of seizing the moment, the country risks squandering it in regulatory gridlock and political doublespeak. The recently completed Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) allowed Canadian crude exports to China to hit a record 7.3 million barrels in March. But one pipeline isn’t a strategy — it’s a starting point.

Doctors Were Preparing to Remove Their Organs. Then They Woke Up.

A federal investigation found a Kentucky nonprofit pushed hospital workers toward surgery despite signs of revival in patients.

Four years ago, an unconscious Kentucky man began to awaken as he was about to be removed from life support so his organs could be donated. Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials still tried to move forward.

Now, a federal investigation has found that officials at the nonprofit in charge of coordinating organ donations in Kentucky ignored signs of growing alertness not only in that patient but also in dozens of other potential donors.

AFN to hold emergency meeting with chiefs on major projects bill

OTTAWA – The Assembly of First Nations will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the implications of proposed federal legislation that would speed up approvals for major projects.

National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says she met yesterday with Prime Minister Mark Carney about the bill his government plans to table today, adding that she remains “deeply concerned” about the potential impact on consultations with First Nations.

The meeting with Carney followed a series of comments by federal ministers about the legislation and Ottawa’s duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples that Woodhouse Nepinak called “disheartening.”

Will the Chiefs be bought off or invited to partake in a spot at the Slush Fund trough?

Carney prepared to sit over the summer to pass new bill to fast-track major projects

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will “do everything” to pass its “One Canadian Economy” legislation before the start of the summer break. If it fails, he said MPs might have to sit over the summer to get it adopted.

On Friday, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy Minister Dominic LeBlanc introduced “An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act” which is set to remove federal barriers to internal trade and labour mobility and accelerate the realization of “nation-building projects.”

Fast track Slush Funds is more like it.
