Comedian Rosie O’Donnell fled the U.S. and rushed to Ireland as soon as it became clear President Donald Trump would be returning to the White House. She has been shouting trans-Atlantic abuse at him ever since. The leftist stepped up again on the weekend and publicly announced her new nickname for Trump.
OTTAWA — They aren’t buying it.
That’s the response from Toronto’s Jewish community to a tweet Friday from Toronto Police, assuring the city’s Jewish community — reeling from years of harassment, abuse and assault from Islamist and far-left radicals — that they face “no known threats.”
After days of prominent conservatives taking shots at each other from the main stage of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, Vice President JD Vance is trying to play peacemaker for a party that seems increasingly divided.
During his headline speech on Sunday in Arizona, Mr. Vance took subtle shots at previous speakers, admitted to diving into some of the conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk’s murder, and told conservatives to stop taking potshots inside the tent.
Come 2028, Mr. Vance is most likely to be the first Republican presidential nominee not named Trump in more than a decade. To get there, he must bandage the open wounds fellow conservatives have inflicted on one another in the wake of Kirk’s assassination in September.
Janet Ecker: What can a non-Jew do to stop the hate?
You could start by actually saying the words Islam or Muslim.
A migrant drug dealer allowed to stay in the UK for being a ‘star pupil’ at school has admitted sexually assaulting two women – the day after he was granted his appeal.

One of Canada’s first convicted terrorists shows ‘no signs of de-radicalization’
A Moroccan terrorist convicted in Quebec almost two decades ago has been denied parole in a decision that said he had no remorse and continued to legitimize violence.

LONDON — Chris Rea, the singer and songwriter best known for the hit “Driving Home for Christmas,” has died at 74, his family said Monday.
Rea died in the hospital following a short illness, according to a statement from his family to Britain’s Press Association news agency.
Driving Home for Christmas has been a perennial submission to Reader Fave Christmas Carols and always welcomed.
The other day, someone asked me for change. I said, “Sorry, I don’t have any.” The response? “F-off and go back to your own country.” It caught me off guard—not because of the aggression, which has sadly become common on our streets, but because of the assumption. Go back to my own country? This is my country. I was born here. I’m Canadian, and I’m proud of it.
A trans woman who copped to slaughtering her parents tried to skip out on her sentencing in a Utah court because it would be too tough on her — as she revealed that she has converted to Islam, and made an excuse for the cold-blooded murders on Friday.
“If only I had gotten help this would have been preventable,” said Mia Bailey’s lawyer — reading a statement she wrote.
Environment Minister @juliedabrusin on Saturday served legal notice that cabinet will again allow the manufacture of straws and other plastic goods in Canada, but only for export to U.S.
“The proposed amendments would minimize economic losses.”

Canada’s post-October 7 antisemitism crisis mirrors Australia’s. It’s small wonder that the Bondi Beach Hanukkah pogrom is perceived by numerous Canadian observers as a bullet dodged.
If it had happened here, we would be sifting through the same forensic breadcrumbs that helped pave the road to Bondi: principles bent for Muslim votes, calculated tolerance for criminal activity directed against Jews and the demonization of Israel in high political and cultural places.
The question now is: what can we do to prevent such a tragedy in Canada?
FYI Barb some of us have been discussing Canada’s suicidal immigration policy for decades.

A spokesperson for Bill Clinton accused the White House late on Friday of using him as a scapegoat after pictures of the former president with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as with a young woman in a pool, were included as part of congressionally ordered release of government files.
“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.
“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,” the statement added.

Study found Canadians were more likely to be swayed than Americans
Talking with an AI chatbot can successfully convince people to change their votes and could affect the outcome of future elections, according to a new study.
The study, which included 1,530 Canadians, also found that the chatbots had more success convincing Canadians to switch their votes than it did with Americans.
Gordon Pennycook, a Canadian and associate professor at Cornell University, said the study set out to discover how persuasive generative AI could be when it comes to politics.
