Trump Delays 50% Tariffs on Canadian Products

The Trump administration delayed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian products for three days, saying the two sides had reached a tentative agreement to resolve a broader trade dispute that had plunged relations to a fresh low. President Donald Trump announced the decision less than two hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Bloomberg’s Derek Wallbank reports.

Trump Shouldn’t Rush Iran Strategy: Rep. Issa

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Issa describes the confrontation with Iran as a 47-year problem and says Trump shouldn’t feel pressured to resolve it on a political timeline, arguing that appearing to be in a hurry would play into Iran’s hands. He also discusses conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as the USS George Washington makes its way to the region to relieve the carrier. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”

Australia, Firearms, and the Canary in the Coal Mine

Australia’s latest firearm buyback isn’t just a debate about guns. It’s a debate about the relationship between citizens and the state. Supporters see a legitimate public safety measure. Critics see a government placing a price tag on a fundamental human right: self-defense. The controversy reaches far beyond firearms and into larger questions about media, regulation, taxation, and the expanding role of government in modern democracies. Whether Australia represents a successful model or a warning sign depends entirely on where you stand. But the canary in the coal mine has already begun to sing.

The Final Act In A No-Act Play That Confirms Why The Play Happened In The First Place

For those paying attention at home this may come as a total surprise–a shock to the system—that Syria has nuclear material in the form of yellow cake somewhat laying around like so much garage storage that must be dispositioned to safeguard the remains of their-ahem-Barney Rubbled peaceful nuclear reactor site.

The Night Two Networks Decided You Did Not Need to See This Declassified Data Dump! July 16th, Part 1

On the evening of July 16, 2026, the President of the United States addressed the nation from the White House and announced the immediate declassification of intelligence covering five areas of American election security. NBC declined to carry it live. ABC declined to carry it live. NBC News NOW ran it on a streaming channel and promised a special report afterward, which is the television equivalent of telling your wife you will get to the garage this weekend.

Preemptive Request: Zero Government Bailouts for AI Fails, Please

The US’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) self-feeding frenzy is still…frenzy-ing.

Except everything about it seems fake.

The US’s Large Language Model (LLM) version of AI seems to be (at least) years away from the promises being made to feed the frenzy.

Which can be seen as a partially good thing – since no one has any idea what to do with the hundreds of millions of humans they tell us US AI will un-employ.

The Importance Of Taiwan, And Why The United States Cannot Back Down by John Sullivan

On April 17th 1895, the Qing dynasty of China signed the treaty of Shimonoseki with the Empire of Japan. In doing so the Qing dynasty was forced to recognize the independence of Korea. They also gave control of Taiwan, the Pescadores islands, and the Liaodong peninsula to Japan. Following this, the Qing dynasty fell into …

Worse Than KAPOs

What could be a lower form of human being than a Jewish guard while a prisoner – a KAPO – in a WW 2 NAZI concentration camp? For the privilege of living a little longer and eating a little more, you more than betray your People, your faith, your country and civilization. You actually help exterminate your own. And you brutalize your own helpless seniors, innocent children, and women while doing it.

News Highlights of the Week: Trannies belong in cars not women’s sports.

The information warfare machine continues to spew out its drivel. Objective: Pit you against me, in whatever form that manifests. Man against God, man against women, man against countrymen, it matters not, so long as discord and chaos reign. If you read Don’s take on the news this week, you can skip the psyops and develop a jaundiced eye toward the psyop minions: the media.

Smedley Butler Was Early. Eisenhower Confirmed It. Ukraine and Iran Are Proving It.

In 1935, Smedley Butler warned that “War is a racket.” Twenty-six years later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned Americans about the growing power of the military-industrial complex. Nearly a century later, their warnings deserve another look. As America replenishes stockpiles from Ukraine and Iran while asking Ford and other manufacturers to help produce more weapons, one uncomfortable question remains: when every missile launched becomes another billion-dollar contract, who is really winning? Soldiers still pay in blood. Taxpayers still pay the bill. But someone always profits.

Comparing Revolutions: Xi Jinping versus Mao Zedong

Xi Jinping is orchestrating a deliberate, decade-long, multi-domain campaign of ideological and political reconsolidation that draws conscious inspiration from Mao Zedong’s methods while adapting them to a modern surveillance state. The comparison is imperfect but illuminating, and the trend lines are unmistakably moving in one direction — tighter, deeper, and more permanent — while obfuscating its harsh effects on the victims from scrutiny.

What a trillion dollars buys: The absolute worst foreign policy was opening trade to Red China

I may be the only person left in the world to call the land Red China, but that does not make me wrong. Chairman Xi runs the joint and he is the president of the Chinese Communist Party—the largest political party in the world.
