Did America Win the War on Terror?

Did America Win the War on Terror?

Anyone over 40 remembers the Global War on Terror. As announced by President George W. Bush, it was a multipronged effort on five continents to eradicate the networks that had inspired and supported the attacks of September 11, 2001, along with the jihadi Muslim extremist movement that had murdered not only nearly 3,000 people that day but thousands more around the world, including in Europe and Israel, over five decades.

By one (admittedly biased) estimate, calculated 20 years after the attacks, the war on terror had cost $8 trillion, including hundreds of billions spent to bring about regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan, where over 7,000 American military personnel lost their lives and 52,143 were maimed and injured.

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge had no business granting bail to alleged U.S. Consulate shooter

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge had no business granting bail to alleged U.S. Consulate shooter

We can’t know exactly why Ontario Superior Court Justice Heather McArthur decided on Thursday to uphold bail for a man accused of shooting up the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, but her reasons can’t make much sense. Perhaps she was compelled by some kind of sob story, or perhaps she convinced herself that whatever stern warning she gave against disobeying bail conditions would resonate with the alleged gun-for-hire. Who knows; that’s all covered by a publication ban.

Nothing Spontaneous About Anti-Israel Protests Terror Links, Foreign Funding and Highly Coordinated Activism

Since the beginning of the pro-Hamas protests, which began as their October 7, 2023 atrocities in Israel were still unfolding, the media has been driving the notion that these are spontaneous, grassroots protests. According to a new explosive report by the acclaimed international organization NGO Monitor: Dream on.

New York law requires hairdressers to learn how to work with all hair types

New York law requires hairdressers to learn how to work with all hair types

As of 1 September, a new law in New York state requires hairdressers studying cosmetology to be trained to work with all hair types.

“This is about equal access to service,” assembly member Michaelle Solages, who sponsored the law, said in a statement earlier this year. “No New Yorker should ever walk into a salon and be turned away or receive substandard care because of their hair texture. Now, with the adoption of this legislation, they won’t have to.”

The law, signed by Kathy Hochul, New York’s governor, requires cosmetology and natural hair styling classes to include instruction on hair types from the kinkiest to the straightest. Additionally, the new training will require students to learn about hair and scalp properties, hair care and styling techniques associated with textured hair.

Canada’s counter-tariffs are expected to raise prices. Should you buy products ASAP?

Canada’s counter-tariffs are expected to raise prices. Should you buy products ASAP?

As Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. are set to take effect next week, many consumers are anxious about the impact of the surtaxes on affected items.

Experts like Ian Lee, an associate professor at Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business in Ottawa, said the federal government’s counter-tariffs will make American items pricier for Canadians.

“If they’re planning on buying them anyways, they should probably buy them before Sept. 8,” Lee said in a video interview with CTVNews.ca on Monday.

America’s Small Towns Are Being Attacked

America’s Small Towns Are Being Attacked

Over the summer, a coordinated cyberattack targeted operational technology at more than 30 community water systems in Minnesota. The FBI later reported similar incidents in at least seven states. The ramifications were significant enough for Congress to get involved, prompting the introduction of the “Water Cyber Shield Act” last week, which would increase cybersecurity funding and empower the EPA to help prevent future attacks on water infrastructure.

Trump is winning his war for oil while the whole world roots against him

Trump is winning his war for oil while the whole world roots against him

President Donald Trump’s supposed weekslong war on Iran has now trudged into months, but while it’s hard to say whether he’s winning his war over the country’s suicidal dictatorship, it’s becoming increasingly clear that, against all odds and a concerted, anti-American psy-op, the White House is winning its war for oil independence.

In a narrative-defying note to investors, analysts at Goldman Sachs last week reported that oil flows through the Persian Gulf have risen to two-thirds of their pre-war levels, with 8 million to 10 million barrels per day of oil specifically transiting the Strait of Hormuz and another 7 to 8 million bpd circumventing the strait through U.S. Navy escorts, the Saudi East-West pipeline, and the UAE’s Fujairah pipeline. All in all, total oil and gas transit is up to 15 to 16 million bpd versus the March nadir of just 5 to 6 million bpd.


Venezuela’s oil fields will reportedly require an investment in the billions to rehabilitate neglected infrastructure. A decrease in the price at the pump is unlikely for some time.

Victor Davis Hanson: Canada Wants a Fight It Can’t Afford

Victor Davis Hanson: Canada Wants a Fight It Can’t Afford

Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is about much more than just tariffs. Trade imbalances, Chinese goods entering the American market through Canada, taxes on U.S. companies, and Mark Carney’s political strategy have pushed relations with Washington to a new low.

At the same time, Canada faces weak economic growth, enormous immigration pressures, separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec, and continued dependence on the United States for its defense. Picking a fight with America will not solve those problems.

Carney lying? Say it ain’t so! This is an evisceration of Carney and sadly Canada.

Sorry Elbow people but the Liberals are worse than Trump.
