Leftist SPLC Donor George Clooney and Others Silent on DOJ Indictment

Some of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) donors have apparently remained silent after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the nonprofit this week with fraud and money laundering.

One of those big-name donors is actor George Clooney, whose foundation has not yet said a word about the indictment, the New York Post reported Thursday, noting that left-wing billionaire George Soros’ foundation and MGM Resorts have also stayed quiet.

Mounties, border officers and cyber spies shut out of early retirement incentive

Front-line security and intelligence workers including Mounties won’t be able to access the government’s penalty‑free early retirement incentive as federal public safety agencies focus on getting more people in the door — not out.

The early retirement incentive (ERI) is part of the government’s larger goal to trim the federal public service, and allows eligible federal employees to leave early without being penalized for cashing out their pension.

Appoint more Conservative senators, Pierre Poilievre tells Mark Carney

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney should appoint more Tories to the Senate, arguing that the opposition voices Canadians voted for at the ballot box ought to be properly represented across Canada’s Parliament.

“The Senate is not currently a reflection of the Canadian people,” Poilievre told a news conference in Ottawa on Thursday.

Neither is the Carney government.

India voices anger after Trump shares comments calling it a ‘hell hole’

The Indian government has denounced a social media post shared by Donald Trump that described India as a “hellhole”, calling the comments inappropriate and “in poor taste”.

On Wednesday, Trump posted a four-page transcription of remarks made by the conservative podcast host Michael Savage that denounced the US constitutional right to citizenship of everyone born in the country.

Without evidence, the post accused Indian immigrants in the tech industry of not hiring white native-born Americans and inaccurately alleged that Indian immigrants lacked English proficiency.

“A baby here becomes an instant citizen, and then they bring the entire family in from China or India or some other hellhole on the planet,” the post said. Trump also posted a video of Savage delivering the comments.

Toronto police want to talk to ex-cop who alleged antisemitism, corruption in senior ranks

Toronto police officials say they are reaching out to a high-ranking former officer who this week made explosive allegations of antisemitism, racism, and corruption in the service’s senior ranks.

Retired homicide inspector Hank Idsinga made the claims in an interview with CBC News and other news outlets surrounding the release of his new book.

Speaking at an unrelated news conference Thursday, Deputy Chief Robert Johnson told reporters the service is looking to talk with Idsinga “so that we can investigate these serious allegations.”

No 10 says Falklands sovereignty rests with UK after report of US ‘review’ … No means to expel Spain from NATO

Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands “rests with the UK”, Downing Street has said, following a report the US could review its position on Britain’s claim to the territory.

An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed failed to support its war on Iran.

The options discussed also included seeking Spain’s suspension from Nato over its opposition to war.

Asked about the report, a No 10 spokesman said: “The Falkland Islands have hugely voted overwhelmingly in favour of remaining a UK overseas territory, and we’ve always stood behind the islanders’ right to self-determination and the fact that sovereignty rests with the UK.”

If Canada doesn’t improve, I don’t expect my children to stay

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I do not expect that my sons will choose to stay in Canada when they are adults. Certainly not if this country stays on its current trajectory — namely, on our slow and agonizing decline.

Swathes of Canadians seem unbothered, at best, by the country’s first unelected majority government, made possible by five dubious parliamentary floor crossings. Yes, the majority technically didn’t happen until three byelections, two occurring in Liberal stronghold ridings, clinched the deal; however, Prime Minister Mark Carney would not have a majority government without those floor crossers. That is incontrovertible.

Would-be Palestinian suicide bomber is APPLAUDED as she appears before woke Berkeley students

A would-be Palestinian suicide bomber was met with raucous applause as she appeared before University of California Berkeley law students.

Israa Jaabis, who was released from an Israeli jail in 2023 as part of a prisoner exchange for 26 hostages taken on October 7 of that year, made the virtual appearance as part of a ‘teach-in’ organized by the student-run UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine.

The event, which came just one day before Israeli Independence Day, was described as a chance ‘to hear experiences of Palestinian torture survivors and prisoners of conscience.’

Parliamentary committee on assisted dying biased, not focused on mandate, expert says

OTTAWA – An expert on Canada’s assisted dying laws says a parliamentary committee studying MAID in cases of mental illness is not focused on its mandate and has not been balanced in its approach.

Jocelyn Downie is a professor emeritus of law at Dalhousie University who has studied assisted dying laws for decades.

She was a witness at the first meeting last month of senators and MPs studying whether Canada is ready to extend assisted dying to people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness.

A U.S. Army soldier who participated in the operation to capture Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela has been charged with using classified information to bet on the mission on Polymarket, a prediction marketplace, federal authorities said on Thursday evening.

The soldier, Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, made more than $400,000 by betting on different outcomes related to Venezuela after learning of the operation, federal prosecutors and the F.B.I. said.

Ottawa spends $43M on health care for rejected asylum claimants sparking backlash

Federal figures show Ottawa spent more than $43 million last year providing health care benefits to illegal immigrants and rejected refugee claimants, fuelling criticism from Conservatives who say taxpayers are footing the bill for services many Canadians struggle to access.

Blacklock’s Reporter says data released by the Department of Immigration indicates 19,771 individuals whose asylum claims were denied still accessed coverage through the Interim Federal Health Program, including prescriptions, clinical care and transportation to medical appointments.

Iran Is Not Winning. It Is Unraveling.

…In reality, Iran is not consolidating strength; it is managing decline. And Trump’s play on the Strait of Hormuz has quietly forced energy markets to reprice security—tilting the balance decisively toward the Americas, and away from Europe, Asia and China.

The Islamic Republic no longer resembles a confident revolutionary project.
