Blanket Informed Consent for Biologics Could Be Deadly. A Warning From Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/blanket-informed-consent-biologics-could-be-deadly-warning/

There’s a linguistic shift happening inside the walls of hospitals, surgical centers, and outpatient clinics — one that most people won’t notice until it’s too late. The word “vaccine” is vanishing from medical consent forms. In its place is a far broader, far murkier term being used: biologics. Let’s clarify some definitions:

Biologics refers specifically to a class of therapeutic drugs and medical products that are produced from living organisms or their components (e.g., made from proteins, organ cells, tissues, blood, tallow, gelatin, glycerol, etc.). Biologics are specifically regulated medical products that are made from or contain components of living organisms.

Biogenics is a broader, more general term meaning produced by living organisms or biological processes. It could be anything made by a living organism — plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, etc.

Examples:

Tree resin (produced by plants)

Coral or seashells (made by marine animals)

Methane (from decaying organic matter)

Alcohol (from yeast fermentation)

Therefore, all biological products are biogenic, but not all biogenic materials are biological products. That means many new, modern medicines labeled “cutting-edge” — from mRNA injections to bioengineered cells — fall into the category of medically regulated biogenic products.

REPORT: Network of Charities Connected to George Soros Funneled Tens of Millions of Dollars to the Rise of Zohran Mamdani

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/report-network-charities-connected-george-soros-funneled-tens/

The rise of New York City Democratic Socialist (communist) Zohran Mamdani, did not happen organically. It took a lot of money and you’ll never guess where a lot of it came from.

A new report indicates that an entire network of charities connected to left wing billionaire George Soros funneled tens of millions of dollars towards the rise of Mamdani, which should surprise absolutely no one.

Any time a figure like Mamdani rises on the left, you can usually assume that Soros is financially involved somehow. It’s funny, the left claims to hate billionaires, but they never seem turn down money from this guy.

Migrant Criminal Gangs in Sweden and Norway Are Using Teenagers for Grenade Attacks as Security Situation Deteriorates in Scandinavian Kingdoms

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/migrant-criminal-gangs-sweden-norway-are-using-teenagers/

'''Norway is dancing to the tune of Foxtrot Swedish crime syndicate.

Once upon a time Scandinavia was a paradise: rich and welcoming societies, with low crime and high quality of life.

Then came the great ‘asylum seeker’ wave starting around 2015, and all of Europe succumbed to the scourge of unchecked mass migration – with the Scandinavian kingdoms of Sweden and Norway falling hard from grace.

Now, with Sweden having become a very violent society, one of its most dangerous crime syndicates, Foxtrot, is now expanding into Norway.

Foxtrot is linked to hundreds of bomb attacks and contract killings as it fights for control of the Scandinavian drug trade.

The update follows the growing public debate over the increasing number of people turning to AI chatbots for expert guidance—particularly in the medical field.

OpenAI updated its ChatGPT usage policy on October 29, 2025, to prohibit providing personalized medical, legal, or financial advice due to liability risks from users relying on AI over professionals, though general information remains accessible.

People have express widespread doubt, with users citing potential profit protection for doctors and lawyers, while highlighting that uncensored local AI tools evade such corporate restrictions. Continue…

URGENT: The UN Summit on your freedom opens in hours!

https://breaking-news.ca/urgent-the-un-summit-on-your-freedom-opens-in-hours/

Two months ago, just before the UN gathered in New York, I warned you that a decisive moment was coming.

That moment is now.

The moment the globalists move from plans on paper to control in practice—unless we stop it.

On my long flight to Doha, Qatar, I couldn’t shake one thought: how fast things have escalated. In just a few short weeks, the agenda has accelerated at breakneck speed… and it’s nothing short of chilling.

* In the UK, digital IDs are now being pushed to access employment.

* In Vietnam, millions of bank accounts were frozen overnight for failing to comply with new “social responsibility” regulations.

* The UN is calling for a global carbon tax to pump massive amounts of tax money into its Socialist and Globalists coffers … YOUR tax money to control YOUR economy and decisions

* The plan call for imposing digital ID systems in 50 countries by 2028—tracking people from birth to death. Your right to travel or work could be canceled with the click of a button.

* The EU continues pushing forward with its programmable “Digital Euro,”—where access to your own money could be restricted by unaccountable bureaucrats because of an action or statement.

This is no longer a theory. It’s already underway, touching finance, work, and speech, and targeting every corner of our lives.

In just hours, the UN will open its World Summit for Social Development—where they intend to lock in Agenda 2030 as the world’s official roadmap. Not mere guidelines, but binding frameworks pushed into national laws, school curriculums, funding programs, and more. All funded with buckets of your tax money.

Let me be clear: this summit isn’t about development. It’s about centralizing control.

They’re assembling the machinery of a global system—one that dictates how you live, what you can buy, where you can travel, even what you’re allowed to say or believe.

This is where it all comes together …censorship, digital surveillance, control over farmers, families, faith, finance … you name it!

But here’s what they didn’t count on: you and thousands like you speaking up—right now.

Because when you speak up—loudly, clearly, and together with hundreds of thousands of CitizenGO supporters around the world—you can stop this.

They want silence. They want consent. They want backroom deals.

Let’s give them powerful resistance instead.

SIGN THE PETITION now to demand Canada’s ambassador and representatives here in Doha, reject any declaration that smuggles in globalist control, censorship, abortion, or radical gender ideology, and refuse implementation in Canada.

John, I need you to see exactly what’s at stake. Continue…

BREAKING: Trump endorses Cuomo for mayor of NYC

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-endorses-cuomo-for-mayor-of-nyc

On the eve of election day, President Donald Trump urged voters in New York City who are opposed to socialist Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor to cast their ballot for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo over Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, saying that a vote for Sliwa is a "vote for Mamdani."

"If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win. His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful," Trump wrote. Continue…

Ottawa Begins Dispute Settlement Proceedings Against Stellantis for Moving Production to US

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ottawa-begins-dispute-settlement-proceedings-against-stellantis-for-moving-production-to-us-5939243?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=ottawa-begins-dispute-settlement-proceedings-against-stellantis-for-moving-production-to-us-0

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is launching dispute settlement proceedings against Stellantis due to the automobile manufacturer’s decision to transfer production from an Ontario plant to a facility in the United States.

“These actions are not symbolic,” Joly told the industry and technology committee on Nov. 3. “They’re the direct consequence of the violation of clear commitments … when a commitment toward the Canadian government is not respected on behalf of Canadian workers, there are consequences.”

Joly said the formal dispute resolution process will last 30 days and aims to bring back vehicle production to the Stellantis factory in Brampton, Ont.

Stellantis announced on Oct. 14 that its production of the Jeep Compass, which was previously slated for the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, would move to Illinois, impacting approximately 3,000 jobs in Brampton. Stellantis said the move was being made as part of a $13 billion investment over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States. Continue…

Ontario Premier Ford Says Carney Asked Him to Pull Controversial Ad ‘a Couple Times’

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ontario-premier-ford-says-carney-asked-him-to-pull-controversial-ad-a-couple-times-5939348?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=ontario-premier-ford-says-carney-asked-him-to-pull-controversial-ad-%E2%80%98a-couple-times%E2%80%99-0

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Prime Minister Mark Carney phoned him several times during his trip to Asia, asking Ford to remove an anti-tariff advertisement that angered U.S. President Donald Trump.

“He called me from Asia a couple times and said, ‘pull the ad,’ and I said I wasn’t going to do it until we’re going to pause the ad on Monday [Oct. 27]. And that’s exactly what we did,” Ford told reporters in Queen’s Park on Nov. 3.

The Ontario government’s advertising campaign, which aired on U.S. television networks, featured audio from former U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s 1987 address to the nation, in which he spoke about the value of free trade.

Reagan announced he was imposing tariffs on Japan at the start of the address, but that part was not included in Ontario’s ad. Reagan described this move as “steps that I am loath to take,” and accused Japan of engaging in unfair trade practices involving semiconductors.

Trump announced on Oct. 23 that due to the ad campaign, which he said misrepresented Reagan’s stance on tariffs, all trade negotiations with Canada were “terminated.”

A day later, Ford said that following discussions with Carney, he would be pausing the ad campaign on Oct. 27 so that trade talks could resume. But Ford said the ad campaign would continue during the weekend’s World Series games on Oct. 25 and 26. Continue…

BC Won’t Air Anti-US Tariff Ad Until Coordinating Messaging With Ottawa: Premier Eby

B.C. Premier David Eby says the province won’t go ahead with airing anti-tariff ads in the United States as previously planned but will instead coordinate with Ottawa on any ads that may be aired going forward.

U.S. President Donald Trump previously announced he was cancelling all trade talks with Canada on Oct. 23 due to the Ontario government airing of an anti-tariff ad featuring the late President Ronald Reagan.

“We did have a conversation about the advertisements today, and you know, one of the things that was crucial for me to communicate was that we needed an integrated, coordinated approach with the provincial and the federal government,” Eby said Nov. 3 during an unrelated press conference in Vancouver alongside Minister of Canada-U.S. Trade Dominic LeBlanc.

“Going forward, we’re going to ensure that our communications are aligned when the time comes to speak with the Americans.” Continue…

Canadian military wants mobilization plan in place to boost reserves to 400,000 personnel

With the current reserve strength standing at 28,000, the Canadian Forces has established a ‘tiger team’ to look at how such a massive influx can be achieved

The Canadian military has set in motion an initiative to increase the number of its part-time soldiers from the current 28,000 to 400,000 as part of an overall mobilization plan, according to a directive approved by senior leaders.

The directive, signed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and defence deputy minister Stefanie Beck on May 30, 2025, outlines the need to increase the current reserve force from 23,561 to 100,000 and supplementary and other reserves from the current 4,384 to 300,000.

Beck and Carignan approved the creation of a “tiger team” which will work on setting the stage for a Defence Mobilization Plan or DMP to accomplish such a goal. That team will examine what changes are needed to government legislation to allow for such a massive influx of Canadians into the military.

Beck and Carignan pointed out that the plan would require a Whole of Society or WoS effort, meaning that all Canadians would have to contribute to the initiative. Continue…

Intelligence watchdogs ask Carney to spare them from budget cuts as security agencies gain power

https://nationalpost.com/news/federal-budget-2025-intelligence-watchdogs-cuts

The agencies warn ‘with less, we will do less’ as the organizations they oversee are set to receive more money and broader powers

Canada’s intelligence watchdog agencies have asked the Liberals to spare them from public service cuts in Tuesday’s budget, warning that the organizations they are supposed to keep an eye on are only set to become more powerful.

In an exceptional joint letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada’s two largest intelligence watchdogs warned in July they would not be able to oversee as effectively the intrusive operations and powers of surveillance of security agencies, including CSIS and the RCMP, if their funding is cut in Tuesday’s budget.

That’s because both review bodies, as well as the office of the intelligence commissioner, were included in the government’s spending review requiring them to propose ways to cut their spending by 15 per cent from their budgets within three years.

“We maintain a pivotal equilibrium vis-à-vis the extensive authorities vested in the national security apparatus,” reads the letter signed by both the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) secretariat and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA).

Faith or Freedom? Why Catholic Principles Outlast Liberal Ideologies

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/11/faith-freedom-why-catholic-principles-outlast-liberal-ideologies/

In an age obsessed with “freedom,” few stop to ask what it truly means to be free. Liberalism — the dominant ideology of the modern West — promises liberty, tolerance, and progress. Yet in practice, it often produces relativism, moral confusion, and the collapse of the very institutions that sustain freedom.

By contrast, Catholic social teaching (Vatican link) has long defended a vision of man as a moral being created by God, endowed with rights but also with duties. The tension between these two visions — liberal autonomy versus Catholic moral order — defines much of today's political and cultural struggle. Continue…

The New Garment of Fear: China Manufactures “Anti-Stab” Clothing and Exposes the Left's Failure to Ensure Public Safety (Videos)

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/11/new-garment-fear-china-manufactures-anti-stab-clothing/

Various Chinese companies have begun producing “anti-stab” clothing aimed at the civilian market. These garments, which incorporate special fibers capable of resisting sharp objects such as knives or bayonets, are presented as a solution for travelers and citizens facing the growing sense of insecurity in urban environments.

However, their existence reveals an alarming symptom: the need for personal protection against risks that should be controlled by the legitimate authorities of the State.

Companies in China, such as manufacturers in Wuhan or Shanghai, offer vests and jackets made with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or aramid fibers, materials that distribute the energy of a stabbing impact and reduce the risk of serious injuries. Continue…

JUST IN: Rep. Brandon Gil Introduces Impeachment Articles Against Judge Boasberg Amid Arctic Frost Conspiracy

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/just-rep-brandon-gil-introduces-impeachment-articles-against/

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation.

It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”

The subpoenas requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations – all aimed at Republicans.

The resolution to impeach Boasberg highlights his abuse of power and authorization of the Biden Regime's weaponization: Continue…

Merz on immigration reform: too little, too late.

In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz is struggling to get some traction in tackling the scourge of unchecked mass migration, which is fraying the German social fabric as badly as any other European country.

In the runup to a series of state elections next year, Merz needs to at least pretend to be doing something about it, to try to react to AfD’s surging poll numbers.

The UK is doomed under Labour, the boss of Ryanair has warned as he claimed wealthy people were scrambling to ‘get the hell out of London’ before being hit by a Budget tax raid.

Michael O’Leary said he had no faith in the Chancellor’s ability to restore growth and branded her tax policies ‘dumb’.

The comments came amid reports that Rachel Reeves is planning to target the wealthy with a mansion tax in the Budget later this month.

He told the Guardian: ‘The UK economy under the current leadership is doomed.'

‘The UK badly needs growth, but the way to deliver growth is through selective tax cuts… you are not going to grow the UK economy by taxing wealth or taxing air travel.’

Mr O’Leary’s comments add to a chorus of criticism of Labour from UK business leaders – following warnings about tax from the likes of Marks & Spencer boss Stuart Machin and Asda’s Allan Leighton. Continue…

India Could Cancel Up To 20% Of Its Planned Renewable Power Capacity As Buyers Dwindle

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/india-could-cancel-20-its-planned-renewable-power-capacity-buyers-dwindle

India may cancel up to 20% of its planned renewable power capacity as developers struggle to secure buyers for their electricity, according to Bloomberg.

The power ministry reviewed 42 gigawatts of green projects without power purchase agreements and recommended shelving those unlikely to find offtakers, according to people familiar with the private discussions.

Canceling projects could ease pressure on an overstretched grid but would be a blow to India’s goal of doubling clean energy capacity to 500 gigawatts by 2030. Nearly 44 gigawatts auctioned by central agencies still lack contracts, partly because state utilities — already financially strained — are hesitant to buy intermittent renewable power unless paired with storage.

Trump Regulator Making Sure The "Debanking" Era Officially Over

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/one-trump-admin-banking-regulator-making-sure-debanking-era-has-officially-ended

A top bank watchdog said he was making sure big banks have finally ditched those “oops, we just destroyed your business because we don't like your political beliefs" - er, debanking rather, policies. You remember those, right? We sure do. It happened around the same time Google, Paypal and Amazon all banned us due to our (correct) take on the origins of Covid-19 and because they didn't like our (correct) take on the BLM movement.

For those that missed it, a slew of banks under the Biden administration outright cancelled people's accounts and didn't allow them access to a bank account based on the industry they worked in, or many times their political views (surprise, none of them were Democrats).

Jonathan Gould, head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, told a conference that supervisors are double-checking banks really did stop blacklisting sectors like firearms from banks, according to Reuters.

This oversight follows a June executive order from President Donald Trump directing banks to avoid denying services based on industry type or political considerations. Reuters writes that supervisors are now ensuring that the largest banks are in compliance with the updated approach. Continue…

Feds claim electric vehicles reduce healthcare costs

https://www.rebelnews.com/feds_claim_electric_vehicles_reduce_healthcare_costs

Despite optimistic forecasts, falling EV sales led auto executives to seek an end to the EV mandate, pausing interim 2026 targets.

The Department of Environment claims electric cars reduce medicare costs, but couldn't specify savings at the Commons environment committee yesterday, as reported by Blacklock’s.

Megan Nichols, assistant deputy environment minister, testified that electric vehicles offer health and cost benefits to Canadians by reducing air pollution and healthcare expenses.

Cabinet's Electric Vehicle Availability Standard is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 362 million tonnes over 25 years, according to Assistant Deputy Nichols, who did not provide health benefit estimates.

Conservative MP Carol Anstey expressed skepticism regarding the 2035 gas vehicle sales ban, citing unsold EVs at dealerships are "tying up investment capital" and jeopardizing dealer viability.

With over $98 billion in combined investments ($46 billion) and taxpayer handouts ($52 billion), 2023 EV sales reached only 11.7% (546,000 EVs), making next year's 20% sales target unrealistic. That excludes costs for EV charging stations and rebates.

Despite optimistic forecasts, plummeting EV sales show these projections were a "complete fantasy," leading auto executives to seek an end to the EV mandate.

On September 5, Prime Minister Mark Carney prefaced his focus on restructuring the Canadian auto sector. “The suspension of the EV mandate for 2026 is part of helping with that,” he told reporters. Continue…

Ottawa’s WHO funding skyrockets — from $43 million to over $200 million in a single year

https://www.rebelnews.com/ottawa_s_who_funding_skyrockets_from_43_million_to_over_200_million_in_a_single_year

Since 2020, the Liberal government has funneled nearly half a billion dollars to the World Health Organization while Canadian healthcare crumbles and patients are left seeking euthanasia.

Canadian taxpayers are footing a massive and growing bill for the World Health Organization (WHO), according to new figures quietly tabled in Parliament.

A response to Order Paper Question Q-328, filed by Global Affairs Canada and answered November 3, 2025, shows that Canada’s contributions to the WHO have exploded since the pandemic began.

2020: $43 million

2021: $206 million

2022: $122 million

2023: $107 million

2024: $102 million

2025: $83 million (projected)

That’s roughly $663 million in just six years, making the WHO one of the top recipients of Canadian foreign aid.

Officials did not specify what portion of that funding was tied to pandemic recovery, vaccine initiatives, or ongoing membership dues — only that the money was channeled through Canada’s International Assistance Envelope, a $7 billion fund overseen by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.

The WHO windfall is part of a wider surge in Ottawa’s support for multilateral institutions:

World Bank: from $3 million in 2020 to $129 million in 2024;

UN core contributions: up from $50 million last year to $135 million;

UNRWA: despite a supposed “pause,” funding has increased to $52 million;

International Organization for Migration: up from $20 million in 2021 to $59 million today.

Buried in the same disclosure, Global Affairs acknowledged that aid distributed through these organizations reached countries under Canadian sanctions, including China ($32 million), Venezuela ($58 million), and Iran ($3.5 million).

The Carney government has defended these ballooning transfers as “global solidarity.”

Carney’s 'Major Projects Office' exists only on paper — one employee, no contracts, $20 million budget

https://www.rebelnews.com/carney_s_major_projects_office_exists_only_on_paper_one_employee_no_contracts_20_million_budget

Appointed in June, CEO Dawn Farrell runs an office with a single staffer, no permanent location, and nearly $20 million in taxpayer funding.

The Carney government’s much-touted Major Projects Office, born out of Bill C-5, is little more than a line item in the budget with one full-time employee, no contracts, and no permanent office space, according to a Privy Council Office response to Order Paper Question Q-312, released November 3, 2025.

As of September 16, 2025, the “office” consisted of one public servant, a senior adviser (EX-02 level), plus a Governor-in-Council–appointed Chief Executive Officer, Dawn Farrell, named to the role in June. That’s it.

Yet the Carney government has already allocated $19.8 million for fiscal 2025-26 to support the office’s operations, including:

$5.3 million in salaries,

$12.2 million in non-salary spending, and

$2.3 million in benefit, accommodation, and service costs.

The office is supposed to streamline federal approvals for energy and infrastructure projects but as of mid-September, it had no signed contracts, no square footage confirmed, and was still using temporary accommodations while searching for space in Calgary. The Major Projects Office doesn't even have an office.

In other words, Canadian taxpayers are footing a $20-million bill for an “office” with no office and an executive team that could hold a meeting in the back seat of a Prius.

It’s a perfect snapshot of the Carney era: bloated bureaucracy, glossy announcements, and nothing to show for it.

Gov't departments riddled with criminal misconduct, from immigration fraud to child porn

The rot inside Canada’s federal bureaucracy runs deep. A sprawling order paper question (Q-315) has exposed an alarming pattern of criminal and unethical behaviour among public servants — spanning everything from immigration fraud and sexual misconduct to child pornography and theft.

The revelations came through responses tabled by multiple departments, each quietly admitting to cases that would get private-sector employees fired or even jailed.

Instead, in many cases, the government handed out little more than wrist slaps or simple reassignments.

At Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, one employee was caught aiding immigration fraud, while another was implicated in illegal activity abroad; their “discipline” was a reassignment.

At Crown-Indigenous Relations, several serious allegations — including fraud and theft — remain “under investigation” or have yet to be examined at all.

The National Research Council, which is supposed to house some of Canada’s top scientists, reported incidents of child pornography and break and enter that were referred to police.

The Canada Border Services Agency handed out a five-day suspension to an employee who paid for sexual services, while another staffer with known criminal associates was given a written reprimand.

Shared Services Canada admitted that “fewer than 10” employees were working under fake names, all of whom somehow received security clearance.

Even the Privy Council Office, which serves as the prime minister’s own department, confirmed an employee was caught leaking classified information.

And at the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, two employees were caught using illegal drugs in the very office responsible for enforcing federal law.

Perhaps most troubling: across multiple departments, the most common outcome for thieves and fraudsters wasn’t termination or prosecution, it was simply that they “left the department.”

Over 1,000 expired visa holders filed asylum claims under Carney government

https://www.rebelnews.com/over_1_000_expired_visa_holders_filed_asylum_claims_under_carney_government

With 2.5 million temporary visas expiring in just seven months, Ottawa admits it doesn’t know how many people actually left or how many stayed to claim asylum.

Canada’s immigration system is bursting at the seams, and the Carney government appears to have lost track of who’s actually in the country.

According to Order Paper Question Q-326, answered on November 3, 2025, by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), more than 1,070 temporary residents whose visas had already expired filed asylum claims between January 1 and July 31, 2025.

During that same period, an astonishing 2,551,055 temporary resident visas expired — covering visitors, students, and foreign workers. That’s over 2.5 million people whose legal status lapsed in just seven months.

The Liberal government says there were about 7 million temporary resident visas currently valid as of August 1, 2025, along with another 11 million electronic travel authorizations (eTAs), for a combined total of nearly 18 million valid temporary entries, more people than Canada’s entire population west of Ontario.

But when it comes to how many expired visa holders actually left Canada, the government punts: that question was “redirected” to the Canada Border Services Agency, which hasn’t provided an answer.

In plain language: the government doesn’t know how many temporary residents overstayed, how many left, or how many are now living here under asylum claims.

Even more troubling, the department admitted the data isn’t centrally tracked and said a full accounting “would require a manual collection of information” that was “not feasible within the time allotted.”

Canada is now issuing millions of temporary permits a year — and with record numbers of expired visas, untracked departures, and expired permit holders claiming asylum, the country’s immigration controls appear to be collapsing under their own weight.

Ottawa spent $1.5M to find out who has air conditioning

https://www.rebelnews.com/ottawa_spent_1_5_million_to_find_out_who_has_air_conditioning

While Canadians sweat through a cost-of-living crisis, the federal government blew seven figures on a Statistics Canada survey to discover that most people own an air conditioner.

It sounds like a parody headline, but it’s right there in black and white. According to a newly tabled order paper response (Q-335), the federal government spent $1.5 million on a Statistics Canada project studying which households in Canada use air conditioning.

The 2025 report, titled “A Heated Discussion: Who Uses Air Conditioning in Canada,” found that 68% of Canadian households have some kind of cooling system — a four-point increase from 2021.

The survey also broke down results by income, province and whether people rent or own their homes.

Ontario topped the charts, with 83% of households reporting AC access, while British Columbia lagged behind at 45% — likely thanks to its milder climate and sky-high hydro rates.

But the real heat came from Ottawa’s own wallet.

Despite being asked for details, the Industry Department refused to provide a line-by-line accounting of how the $1.5 million was spent, dodging questions on vendor names, contracts or whether the study was outsourced.

Conservative MP Fired After Flirting With Liberal Floor-Crossing on Budget Day

https://www.rebelnews.com/conservative_mp_fired_after_flirting_with_liberal_floor_crossing_on_budget_day

The Liberal Party remains three seats short of a majority government.

In a political self-own, Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont has been ousted from the Conservative caucus after publicly musing to Politico that he was “considering” crossing the floor to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government—on the very same day the Liberals dropped a $78-billion deficit budget.

According to journalist Kate McKenna, the Conservative spokesperson first confirmed D’Entremont had been removed from caucus, before clarifying he had technically resigned following the remarks. Either way, his brief moment of political indecision ended with the door hitting him on the way out.

D’Entremont’s comments landed just hours after Politico published its bombshell story about his alleged flirtation with the Liberals, a move that would hand Carney’s government an even tighter grip on power until 2029. “What a day,” remarked journalist Jasmin Laine, capturing the mood of a Conservative base already furious over the idea of defection which would put the Liberals within two seats of majority.

A treaty announced yesterday with the Kitsumkalum gives away massive amounts of money, land, and power without ANY surrender of the Kitsumkalum’s claims to ongoing aboriginal title

https://breaking-news.ca/a-treaty-announced-yesterday-with-the-kitsumkalum-gives-away-massive-amounts-of-money-land-and-power-without-any-surrender-of-the-kitsumkalums-claims-to-ongoing-aboriginal-title/

A treaty announced yesterday with the Kitsumkalum gives away massive amounts of money, land, and power without ANY surrender of the Kitsumkalum’s claims to ongoing aboriginal title. That means British Columbians pay dearly but the tribe can keep coming back for more.

And of course, BC’s NDP and Conservative parties are both celebrating the deal.

Only OneBC will fight to protect BC’s future.

What the Kitsumkalum treaty includes:

•$158 million in cash from taxpayers

•46,050 hectares of formerly Crown and privately-owned land – that’s 4x the size of the City of Vancouver

•Control over vast lands and resources, including all subsurface resources under the transferred lands, management control over public parks, the rights to allocate 50,000 million cubic metres per year of water, and much, much more.

There is no obligation to treat non-indigenous members fairly in the management of the transferred money, land, or power.

As I’ve been saying, Cowichan is only the beginning.

We need to immediately suspend all talks with indigenous tribes about transfers of money, land, or power. We need to immediately repeal the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), which directs governments to voluntarily sacrifice provincial sovereignty and resources.

And, ultimately, we need to demand an amendment removing aboriginal title from the constitution, so that the property rights of all Canadians stand on a firm and equal footing.

These land, money, and power grabs in the name of reconciliation are an existential threat to the survival of our province. No matter how well-intended they may have been at first, it is simply not possible to go down this path without bankrupting citizens and shattering the province into dozens of disfunctional ethnostates. Join us as we fight for a future in which every citizen has an equal opportunity to prosper. One BC. One law for all.

2025 Budget Slashes Foreign Aid by $2.7 Billion Over Next Four Years

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget tabled on Nov. 4 forecasts $2.7 billion in cuts to foreign aid over the next four years.

The budget predicts $561 million in cost reductions next fiscal year for Global Affairs Canada (GAC), rising to $1.1 billion per year of projected savings within two years, saying that Canada’s foreign aid spending will return to pre-COVID levels and focus on “countries that need it the most.”

GAC’s budget for this fiscal year is an estimated $8.1 billion.

The government says it’s returning its funding allocation closer to pre-pandemic levels.

“There will be reductions in development funding to global health programming, where Canada’s contribution has grown disproportionately relative to other similar economies,” the budget reads. “Some bilateral development programs will also be refined and adjusted.”

The government has not said which programs or nations will experience funding cuts, but says efforts will also be made to see how Canadian “contributions can be leveraged further,” along with reducing financial help for some international financial institutions. Continue…

Chrysler Recalls 20,000 Jeep Hybrid Vehicles Over Battery Fire Concerns

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/chrysler-recalls-20000-jeep-hybrid-vehicles-over-battery-fire-concerns-5940101?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=chrysler-recalls-20,000-jeep-hybrid-vehicles-over-battery-fire-concerns-0

Chrysler is recalling more than 20,000 Jeep vehicles in Canada over concerns of a faulty battery that can catch on fire even when the vehicle is not running.

The recall applies to 20,753 Canadian plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, according to Transport Canada. The vehicles impacted include Jeep Wranglers from 2021 to 2025, and Grand Cherokees from 2022 to 2025. The auto manufacturer said the recall only affects 4xe plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models. The recall was issued in the United States as well, and included 320,065 vehicles.

The recall says the battery pack may have cells with separator damage that can cause the vehicle to catch fire, even while parked and turned off.

Chrysler, owned by Stellantis, has said it is aware of 19 fires in vehicles and one injury connected to the battery pack defect, which includes nine vehicles that had received software updates released to fix the problem. Continue…

Budget 2025 Includes $81B in Funding Aiming to Bolster the Canadian Military

The Liberal government’s 2025 budget is proposing to provide more than $81 billion over five years to build up the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), as Canada works towards meeting NATO’s defence spending target of 5 percent of GDP by 2035.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne tabled the Carney government’s first budget on Nov. 4, projecting a $78.3 billion deficit this fiscal year and a debt-to-GDP ratio that is expected to climb before stabilizing in the years ahead.

Champagne said the budget’s “generational investments” have four key priorities, including housing, infrastructure, defence and security, and productivity and competitiveness.

The budget sets out $30 billion in capital spending on defence and security, which Champagne called “the largest defence investment in decades.”

“These investments will modernise our fleets, expand Arctic and maritime surveillance, bolster cyber and space capabilities, and create high-paying careers for Canadian workers across the country,” the budget document reads. Continue…

Carney Says MP d‘Entremont Joining Liberals Is ’Exceptionally Valuable’

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/carney-says-mp-dentremont-joining-liberals-is-exceptionally-valuable-5940538?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-1

Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed former Tory MP Chris d'Entremont in joining the Liberal caucus at an event they both attended in Ottawa.

“Chris’s decision to join the government caucus at this crucial moment for our country is exceptionally valuable, important,” Carney said during a Nov. 5 press conference related to his recently tabled budget.

D'Entremont, a Nova Scotia MP first elected in 2019, announced on Nov. 4 he was resigning from the Conservative caucus.

The move has brought the minority Liberals within two seats of a majority government, now having 170 MPs in the House of Commons.

This addition to the Liberal caucus could help them pass their budget tabled on Nov. 4, which would avoid an early election. The Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois have signalled their opposition to the budget, while the NDP said it will take time to review it. Continue…

Prince Harry is in Toronto for events tied to Remembrance Day

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/prince-harry-visiting-toronto-for-events-tied-to-remembrance-day

His office says the trip is at the invitation of the True Patriot Love Foundation, which supports Canadian military, veterans and their families

Prince Harry is set to begin a two-day visit to Toronto to attend events supporting veterans and the military community ahead of Remembrance Day.

The office of the Duke of Sussex says he’s making the trip at the invitation of the True Patriot Love Foundation, which supports Canadian military members, veterans and their families.

Prince Harry has several engagements today, including a private lunch followed by an evening fundraiser for the HALO Trust — a U.K.-based charity that helps clear explosives around the world and was also supported by his late mother, Diana.

Prince Harry, who served in Afghanistan as a member of the British military, is also set to meet some of Canada’s oldest veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital’s veterans centre on Thursday.

He will then attend a dinner organized by True Patriot Love in support of the military community.

Prince Harry’s last visit to Canada was in February, when he attended the Invictus Games in British Columbia.

Bank of Canada planning to axe over 200 jobs as Carney trims government spending

The number of people working at the bank has surged in recent years up from approximately 1,800 in 2019 to 2,350 people at the end of 2023

The Bank of Canada is planning to eliminate hundreds of jobs, about 10 per cent of its workforce, as part of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bid to reduce government expenses.

About 225 employees at the central bank will be affected, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News. The cuts will take place “over the next few months” and be completed by June, it said. Continue…

What's The Real Reason Why The Economist Wants Europe To Spend $400 Billion More On Ukraine?

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/whats-real-reason-why-economist-wants-europe-spend-400-billion-more-ukraine

Federalizing the EU, not the political fantasy of defeating Russia, is the real goal, which requires another four years of proxy warfare and at least another $400 billion to complete.

The Economist argued that the EU and the UK should meet Ukraine’s estimated $390 billion financing needs over the next four years.

In their words, “Another half-decade of [Russia’s supposedly worsening economic-financial situation] would probably trigger an economic and banking crisis in Russia”, while “Any long-term financing solution for Ukraine would help Europe build the financial and industrial muscle it needs to defend itself.”

This would only cost 0.4% of GDP per NATO member (excluding the US).

They also fearmongered that “The alternative would be for Ukraine to lose the war and become an embittered, semi-failed state whose army and defence industries could by exploited by Mr Putin as part of a new, reinvigorated Russian threat.” While it’s unlikely that Ukraine would ever team up with Russia to threaten any NATO state, Ukraine might blame Poland for its loss, after which Ukraine might back a terrorist-separatist campaign in Poland waged by its ultra-nationalist diaspora as warned about here.

France's Plans To Deploy Troops To Ukraine Risk Sparking A Major Crisis

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/frances-plans-deploy-troops-ukraine-risk-sparking-major-crisis

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that France is plotting to deploy up to 2,000 soldiers, the core of which will be Latino assault troops from the Foreign Legion who are presently undergoing intensive training in Poland, to Central Ukraine in the near future.

This follows Chief of Staff of the French Army Pierre Schill declaring that his country will be ready to deploy troops to Ukraine next year as part of “security guarantees”.

Putin earlier warned that any foreign troops there would be legitimate targets.

Nevertheless, SVR reported in late September that “the first group of career military personnel from France and the United Kingdom has already arrived in Odessa”, yet no crisis followed. The reason might be that neither of them confirmed their forces’ presence there, perhaps for escalation-management purposes, so they and Russia aren’t (yet?) making a big deal about any potential casualties. Up to 2,000 conventional troops, however, would be impossible to hide and thus represent a major escalation. Continue…

Deeply-Divided Bank Of England Leaves Rates Unchanged, Warns Of "AI Bubble"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/deeply-divided-bank-england-leaves-rates-unchanged-warns-ai-bubble

The Bank of England kept its key interest rate at 4.0% this morning, opting against a cut (as the market expected) ahead of the UK government's annual budget this month (which is expected to feature tax hikes).

"We still think rates are on a gradual path downwards, but we need to be sure that inflation is on track to return to our two-percent target before we cut them again," BoE governor Andrew Bailey said in a statement following the widely-expected decision.

The decision was very tight as policymakers including Bailey voted 5-4 to maintain the rate.

Four members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) called for a cut to 3.75 percent. Continue…

Diageo Lowers Outlook On Dismal Drinking Demand As Shares Hit Decade Low

British spirits giant Diageo Plc, one of the world's largest drink makers, tumbled to a 10-year low on Thursday after lowered guidance overshadowed better-than-expected first-quarter sales. Wall Street analysts noted mounting frustration over the lack of detail regarding the company's search for a new chief executive.

The maker of Don Julio, Johnnie Walker, Casamigos, Smirnoff, and many other popular bar beverages now expect organic net sales to be flat to slightly lower, compared to prior guidance for growth. This dismal outlook overshadowed stronger-than-expected first-quarter sales. Continue…

Suez Canal cargo traffic surges

https://www.rt.com/africa/627413-suez-canal-cargo-traffic-surge/

The recent Gaza peace summit has led to renewed shipping confidence, local authorities have said

Traffic through Egypt’s Suez Canal has surged by more than 10% in recent months amid improving regional stability, local authorities said on Tuesday.

Admiral Ossama Rabiee, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), announced that between July and October, a total of 4,405 vessels passed through the canal, carrying 185 million tons of cargo – up from 4,332 ships and 167.6 million tons in the same period last year.

He said 229 vessels resumed transit in October alone, marking the highest monthly figure since the Red Sea crisis began following the onset of the war in Gaza.

“The Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit had a positive impact on calming the situation in the region and the return of many ships to cross the Suez Canal again,” the Egyptian Cabinet Presidency reported on Facebook. Continue…

Canadian government moves forward with digital ID

https://www.rebelnews.com/canadian_government_moves_forward_with_digital_id

It’s a slippery slope toward total control, especially as U.S. lawmakers warn that the kind of digital authoritarianism once confined to dictatorships is now spreading across the globe.

Canada’s Liberal government is moving full steam ahead with a centralized digital identification system for federal benefits claimants, including Employment Insurance and Old Age Security.

A recent budget note confirms cabinet’s green light for amendments to the Department of Employment and Social Development Act, promising “more integrated and efficient services across government,” Blacklock’s reports.

This is being sold to Canadians as ‘convenient’ and ‘efficient’ with no legal details provided.

“Modernizing legislative authorities to support information sharing and digital services would particularly benefit groups facing barriers due to outdated, paper-based processes, particularly seniors,” said the note.

Funding for The Benefits Delivery Modernization (BDM) Programme was first approved in 2017, with preliminary estimates earmarking the program at $1.75 billion.

While it may seem innovative, these policies often call for the invasive collection of biometric markers, location data, banking information, and vaccination records, laying the groundwork for a surveillance state.

The Department of Employment admits the project is so convoluted that it required hiring external consultants last spring at an undisclosed taxpayer cost.

A 2024 report from the Auditor General found that “it was unclear whether the development of a national approach for validating a person’s identity digitally would proceed and whether the transition to a new federal sign-in system would be funded without presenting an unmanageable financial burden on departments.”

While the government swears digital ID is voluntary, history shows “optional” quickly becomes obligatory when convenience is dangled and alternatives are made cumbersome. Continue…

Canada Post’s 2025 Remembrance Day stamp honoring Private Buckam Singh, a Sikh soldier

https://breaking-news.ca/canada-posts-2025-remembrance-day-stamp-honoring-private-buckam-singh-a-sikh-soldier/

Canada Post has unveiled its 2025 Remembrance Day stamp honoring Private Buckam Singh, a Sikh soldier who overcame enlistment barriers to serve in World War I.

Singh, one of only 10 Sikh Canadians in the war, endured two trench wounds before dying of tuberculosis in 1919. His Kitchener grave—the world’s sole known Sikh military burial from the world wars—anchors the stamp’s design.

The stamp was revealed at a Sikh Remembrance Day ceremony, recognizing early immigrant sacrifices.

Divided Reactions

Supporters hail it as overdue inclusion for marginalized veterans.

Detractors decry it as divisive pandering, overlooking stamps for 5,000 German-Canadian WWI fighters.

“This honors forgotten heroes,” said ceremony organizer Harpreet Singh.

– Sikh Community Leader

“Why not stamps for larger groups first?” asked veteran advocate Maria Klein.

– German-Canadian Legion

Yesterday, I received an email from my 8 year old daughters school informing me that she has been selected to perform the “land acknowlegent” in her schools upcoming Remembrance Day ceremony.

https://breaking-news.ca/yesterday-i-received-an-email-from-my-8-year-old-daughters-school-informing-me-that-she-has-been-selected-to-perform-the-land-acknowlegent-in-her-schools-upcoming-remembrance-day-ceremony/

While my initial reaction was “the hell she is!”, I had a night to sleep on it, and crafted my response seen below.

We will not be a part of this virtue signalling that is now quickly becoming a slippery slope across Canada.

++++++++++++

Dear Ms. —— and Mr. ——,

I am writing as the parent of —— ——, a Grade 3 student at —— Elementary, regarding the upcoming Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11th. Ms. ——recently informed me that my daughter ——has been selected to deliver the land acknowledgement at the start of the event.

While I appreciate the school’s efforts to honour this significant day and involve students in meaningful ways, I must respectfully request that she not participate in this portion of the ceremony.

After careful consideration, our family has decided that —— will not be delivering the acknowledgement, and we will be excusing her from school that morning to attend a personal family observance at a local cenotaph.

As a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran who has served our country, and with a family history of military service dating back to the 1700s – long before Canada was a nation – I hold Remembrance Day especially close to my heart.

Many of my ancestors, including my great grandfather – who made the ultimate sacrifice overseas during WW1 and both of my grandfathers who thankfully survived WW2, fought to protect the freedoms we cherish today.

This day, in our view, is sacred in its singular focus: to remember and honour the over 110,000 Canadian soldiers who died in the World Wars, the thousands lost in other conflicts, and the countless veterans who returned bearing the invisible and visible scars of their service.

It is a time to reflect on those who built and defended this land, ensuring its safety for generations, including our own children.

We recognize the importance of cultural education and reconciliation efforts, and Canada thoughtfully designates National Indigenous Peoples’ Day on June 21st and National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30th for such observances. These dedicated days allow space for those vital conversations without overshadowing other national commemorations.

On Remembrance Day, however, introducing elements like a land acknowledgement – even with the best intentions – feels like it dilutes the day’s profound purpose.

For families like ours, who have contributed to the very fabric of this nation through generations of service, it can inadvertently suggest that our shared history begins elsewhere, rather than celebrating the collective sacrifices that unite us. Daily land acknowledgements at school, while well-meaning, have also begun to weigh heavily on ——. At just eight years old, she is internalizing messages that frame her – and by extension, her family – as outsiders or “colonizers” on the land her ancestors helped defend and develop. This is not a narrative that aligns with our lived history or values, and it risks eroding her sense of belonging in her own community. We are committed to teaching her about Canada’s diverse histories in age-appropriate, balanced ways, but we believe Remembrance Day should remain untouched by these broader discussions.

On November 11th, instead of the school ceremony, we plan to take —— to the cenotaph to meet with fellow veterans, including a surviving relative who served.

This firsthand experience will help her connect directly with the human stories behind the day, fostering a deep, personal appreciation for sacrifice and service. We hope the school will accommodate this absence without issue, as it aligns with our educational goals for her.

I kindly ask that you and the school community reflect on these perspectives. At its core, this is a plea from one CAF veteran’s family: please, let us have this one day – one achingly difficult day – to grieve, remember, and honour without the intrusion of political or performative elements. It would mean the world to those of us who have worn the uniform, and to the children we raise to understand its weight.

Thank you for your understanding and for the compassionate work your team does every day. I am happy to discuss this further if helpful and remain grateful for the supportive environment ——Elementary provides for ——.

Sincerely, ——

Father of —— ——

MORE PRAISE FOR TRUMP: Central Asian Leaders Travel to White House, Call Trump: “Great Leader, Statesman Sent by Heaven” and “We Call You President of the World!” (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/more-praise-trump-central-asian-leaders-travel-white/

On Thursday, several leaders from Central Asia traveled to the White House to meet with President Donald J. Trump, a legendary president, peacemaker, and economist.

The US president and his top staff members met with the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

The meeting focused on deepening U.S.–Central Asian relations, expanding trade partnerships, and strengthening global supply chains for rare earth minerals, an issue central to Trump’s vision of economic independence and strategic dominance.

President Trump opened the summit highlighting his administration’s record-shattering economic achievements, including over $18 trillion in investment and the establishment of “Trump Route,” a trade corridor linking nations across Central Asia to new markets.

Trump emphasized that the route, named in his honor, would promote international peace and prosperity through stronger economic cooperation. Continue…

Cristiano Ronaldo Praises Donald Trump as a Leader Capable of Changing the World in Interview with Piers Morgan After Gifting Him a Jersey with a Message of Peace (Videos)

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/11/cristiano-ronaldo-praises-donald-trump-as-leader-capable/

Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has upped the ante by reaffirming his admiration for Donald Trump, describing him as « one of the men who can change the world. «

This forceful statement, delivered in the second part of an exclusive interview with the controversial British journalist Piers Morgan, stands as a conservative bulwark against the leftist tide dominating sports and global culture.

Ronaldo, the first soccer player to achieve billionaire status with an estimated fortune of one billion dollars thanks to his stints at Real Madrid, Manchester United, and now Al-Nassr, not only praised Trump's vision but also posed with Morgan's book Woke is Dead ("Woke is Dead"), an anti-progressive manifesto that denounces the ideological agenda permeating soccer, from forced rainbow flags to censorship on social media.

The trigger for this conversation was a symbolic gesture from June 2025: Ronaldo sent a signed Portugal national team jersey to President Trump, inscribed with the dedication «To President Donald J. Trump. Playing for peace,» delivered by the then-President of the European Council, Portuguese fellow António Costa, during the G7 summit in Canada. Continue…

According to the Department of Justice, Xu Bai (28), Fengfan Zhang (27), and Zhiyong Zhang (30), all Chinese nationals working in the University of Michigan’s “Shawn Xu Laboratory,” were arrested and formally charged for their roles in the conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors allege that Bai and Fengfan Zhang conspired to smuggle restricted biological materials into the U.S., while Zhiyong Zhang faces charges of making false statements to federal agents during the investigation.

All three were research scholars holding J-1 visas, temporary research visas often used by foreign nationals conducting work at U.S. universities.

The laboratory where the trio worked, led by Dr. Xianzhong “Shawn” Xu, has been engaged in advanced biomedical and neurobiological research.

Federal authorities have not yet disclosed the exact nature of the biological materials involved, but officials emphasized the grave national security implications of the case.

Jubilee in Rome: Pilgrims Honor the 2025th Anniversary of Christ’s Birth in a Post-Christian Europe

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/jubilee-rome-pilgrims-honor-2025th-anniversary-christs-birth/

The wait to enter St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome was more than an hour, with visitors from all over Europe and the world packed shoulder to shoulder between barricades for several blocks.

Once inside the cathedral, the crush of humanity was in some ways even worse, more like entering a rock concert or a stadium during the playoffs. People constantly bumped into one another as they tried to admire the architecture or photograph the artwork.

As uncomfortable as it can be to move at a snail’s pace through a crowd that size, it’s even more frustrating when you have a specific destination in mind.

I knew that if I could get close to the main altar and cut left, I could join the line for one of the hourly Masses.

It took about 30 minutes, but I was grateful to make it. When the security guard finally lifted the velvet rope and ushered us inside, I was surprised to see that about 15% of the seats were empty once Mass began.

Countless thousands entered St. Peter’s to admire its beauty, but only a small percentage stayed to worship.

This scene reflects the spiritual condition of Europe today, a continent drifting away from faith, yet still the historic heart of Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant.

Believers from around the world are descending on Rome for the 2025 Jubilee, marking the 2025th anniversary of Christ’s birth.

While pilgrims fill the Eternal City, liberal leftist policies across Europe continue to restrict Christianity and promote Islam, which is expanding through open borders and unrestrained immigration rather than conversion. Over 30 million pilgrims are expected to visit Rome during the Jubilee, which runs from Christmas Eve 2024 to January 6, 2026.

Yet this outpouring of faith contrasts sharply with Europe’s growing secularism. In France, 33% of people now claim no religious belief; in the Czech Republic, 30%; and in Belgium and the Netherlands, 27%.

Even in Italy, home of the Vatican, 80% of Italians report that they do not regularly attend church. Across the continent, the number of Christians continues to decline.

According to the 2019 Eurobarometer survey, Christianity accounts for just 64% of the EU population, down from 72% in 2012.

Over the past five decades, southern, western, and northern Europe have become less Christian and more secular. Continue…

(VIDEOS) Trump Announces Major Deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to Slash Cost of GLP-1 Medications for Diabetes and Obesity – RFK Jr. Says the American Public will Lose 125 MILLION LBS by Next Year

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/video-trump-announces-major-deal-eli-lilly-novo/

President Trump on Thursday announced another deal to cut pharmaceutical costs for Americans with most favored nation (MFN) pricing on popular drugs for diabetes, heart disease, and weight loss, and other conditions.

According to the White House, “The agreement represents a historic reduction in prices for Americans on the two drugs with the highest annual expenditures in the United States, both of which help adults struggling with diabetes, heart disease (Ozempic and Wegovy only), obesity, and other conditions.”

The drugs will be available on TrumpRX.com, a federal government website that will help patients buy drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies without using insurance, at massively discounted prices, in line with what other countries pay for the same drugs.

But Medicare and Medicaid will also cover these drugs with discounted co-pays.

“This is very exciting. Again, we’re bringing drug prices down to levels nobody ever thought was possible. Tremendous cuts, 200%, 300%, 500%, 700%, a little bit more than that,” Trump said while making the announcement earlier this afternoon.

“So today, I’m thrilled to announce that the two world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, have agreed to offer their most popular GLP-1 weight loss drug— I call it the fat drug, remember— at drastic discounts.” Continue…

Radical Leftist Who Brutally Slaughtered Tourist After He Supposedly Called Her a ‘Racist’ Name WINS City Council Election

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/radical-leftist-who-brutally-slaughtered-tourist-after-he/

A leftist who brutally killed a man years ago has won a local race and will be helping make laws for her city.

As The Maine Wire reported, Angela Walker emerged victorious in Tuesday’s city council elections in Bangor, Maine, alongside Susan Faloon and Daniel Carson.

All three were considered “progressive,” aka far-left candidates.

Walker currently serves as the “peer services coordinator” for the Bangor Area Recovery Network. She is also reportedly in recovery from addiction.

Voters were willing to overlook Walker’s dark past and give her power over them. She was imprisoned after being convicted of manslaughter in 2003 and served 10 years in prison.

Per Maine Wire, here are the details of this horrific crime.

One could argue that Walker got off lightly.

Walker was convicted 23 years ago in the brutal Old Orchard Beach killing of Derek Rogers, a Canadian tourist who had allegedly called her a racist name.

Cops found that Rogers had been severely beaten and then suffocated to death with sand forced down his throat.

His lifeless body was found on the beach on August 1, 2002, in a section of the popular coastal beach town known as Ocean Park.

This is another example of liberal voters rewarding violent-minded politicians. Continue…

US Government Revokes 80,000 Visas

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-government-revokes-80000-visas

The U.S. Department of State said on Nov. 6 that 80,000 visas have been revoked.

President Donald Trump and State Secretary Marco Rubio “will always put the safety and interests of the American people first,” the State Department said in a post on X.

The department said in a follow-up post that visas were revoked for reasons including support for terrorism, “actual terrorism,” criminal activity, public safety threats, and overstays.

The State Department also said that 16,000 visas were revoked in 2025 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 12,000 revoked for assault, and 8,000 revoked for theft. The nonimmigrant visa revocation numbers are from the beginning of this year.

The State Department did not offer more details regarding the revocations. The administration has maintained a conservative stance on approving visas for foreigners and has swiftly canceled visa privileges of temporary residents, including students, based on actions concerning national security.

“The Trump Administration will not hesitate to revoke visas from foreigners who undermine our laws or threaten our national security,” Tommy Pigott, the State Department’s principal deputy spokesperson, said in a Nov. 5 post on X. Continue…

These Are The 20 Most Chilling Insights From Yuri Bezmenov

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/these-are-20-most-chilling-insights-yuri-bezmenov

How the KGB's Playbook Is Destroying the West Today

Yuri Aleksandrovich Bezmenov (1939–1993), also known as Tomas David Schuman, was a Soviet journalist and KGB operative specializing in propaganda and ideological subversion.

Ideological subversion is the process of bending a society’s perception of reality so completely that it destroys itself.

In the Cold War era, few voices pierced the veil of secrecy as profoundly as that of Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector whose chilling exposés on ideological subversion still resonate today. His warnings, drawn from firsthand experience in Soviet active measures, offer blueprints for destroying free societies—not through bombs, invasions or disease, but through the poisons of manipulated ideas and cultural decay.

Here are 20 of Bezmenov’s key insights. Continue…

Four killed in helicopter crash in Russia (VIDEO)

https://www.rt.com/russia/627470-dagestan-helicopter-crash-tourists/

The aircraft collided with a private home in the southern Republic of Dagestan, according to emergency services

At least four people have been killed and three others injured after a Ka-226 helicopter crashed in the Republic of Dagestan in southern Russia, the local health authorities have said.

Initial reports stated that the helicopter was carrying tourists, although TASS later reported it was transporting employees of the local Kizlyar Electromechanical Plant.

The incident happened midday on Friday near the town of Izberbash, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, TASS reported.

Two of the injured were rushed to a burn-care center in regional capital Makhachkala, with another passenger, whose condition was described as critical, being taken to a hospital in Izberbash, a representative of the health ministry told RT.

The helicopter hit a private home and completely destroyed it, TASS reported, citing the emergency services. There was nobody inside the building at the time of the incident, it added.

Footage from the scene captured a plume of thick black smoke coming from the crash site.

The reasons for the incident are currently being investigated.

According to the 122 Telegram channel, the ill-fated helicopter was privately owned and used for air tours.

The Kamov Ka-226 is a small, Russian-made twin-engine utility helicopter, which can carry up to seven passengers or cargo weighing up to 1.3 tons. It entered service in 2002.

‘Suspicious package’ triggers evacuations and illness at key US airbase

https://www.rt.com/news/627472-us-airbase-suspicious-package/

An unidentified white powder was involved, according to media reports

Several people have fallen ill at a key US airbase that hosts Air Force One after a package reportedly containing unidentified white powder was delivered to the facility.

The incident at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Maryland on Thursday prompted an evacuation of two connected buildings, according to officials.

A JBA spokesperson confirmed to the media that “multiple individuals felt ill” after a person opened a “suspicious package” that had been delivered to the base.

As a precaution, the building where the incident occurred was evacuated and cordoned off and the scene was examined by HAZMAT teams, which detected no immediate threat.

Officials have not disclosed the contents of the package. However, CNN has reported, citing two sources familiar with the investigation, that the delivery contained an unidentified white powder and was accompanied by political material. Continue…

Elementary school teacher pleads guilty to child luring and exploitation charges

https://www.rebelnews.com/elementary_school_teacher_pleads_guilty_to_child_luring_and_exploitation_charges

Kelly-Anne Jennings, 41, of Port Hope, pleaded guilty to child luring, producing child pornography, and distributing explicit material to her former Grade 8 students via Snapchat.

A Port Hope elementary school teacher has pleaded guilty to several child exploitation offences involving her former students.

Kelly-Anne Jennings, 41, appeared in a Peterborough courtroom Thursday, where she admitted to six charges, including child luring, making child pornography, and distributing explicit material to a minor.

The charges stem from online communication Jennings had with former Grade 8 students in 2023. The court heard that the exchanges took place over Snapchat and became increasingly inappropriate.

Parents of the victims were present in court as Ontario Court Justice Nathan N. Baker accepted Jennings’ guilty pleas. The Crown confirmed that additional charges, including one count of sexual assault, will be stayed.

A court-ordered publication ban protects the identities of the victims and any details that could identify the school where Jennings taught. Continue…

Cabinet raises debt ceiling to $2.54 trillion

https://www.rebelnews.com/cabinet_raises_debt_ceiling_to_2_54_trillion

Parliament has failed to balance a budget since 2007, when Stephen Harper was prime minister.

The national debt ceiling will be raised for the third time in four years, increasing the borrowing limit by 20% to an unprecedented $2.54 trillion, according to a Department of Finance budget notice.

The Borrowing Authority Act limit is proposed for amendment in the budget document Canada Strong to support the Government of Canada's initiatives for building a new Canadian economy and defending Canada. This represents a $1.373 trillion increase in the debt ceiling since 2021.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne differentiated additional debt from spending, stating, “There is a difference between spending and investing,” he told the Commons.

Champagne told MPs that Budget 2025 demonstrates the importance of their choices, emphasizing investment and advancement during difficult times.

The 2025/26 Liberal budget, branded as “fiscal strength” despite record deficits, adds a $78 billion deficit, $10 billion more than predicted by the Parliamentary Budget Office. That is a record, notwithstanding the 2020 pandemic year.

Cabinet proposed $321.7 billion in new borrowing by 2030. Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized this, stating federal spending increases national debt by $10 million hourly, calling the government “the most expensive in Canadian history” and noting that all government spending is paid by Canadians.

Parliament hasn't balanced a budget since 2007, as reported by Blacklock’s. The debt ceiling rose from $1.168 trillion in 2020 to $1.83 trillion in 2021. Continue…

Ottawa targets 'too white' farmers' bank — Farm Credit Canada faces new diversity mandate after spying scandal

https://www.rebelnews.com/ottawa_targets_too_white_farmers_bank_farm_credit_canada_faces_new_diversity_mandate_after_spying_scandal

The same Crown bank that secretly monitored farmers for political dissent during the Freedom Convoy is now under federal review for serving “predominantly older white men.”

The Liberal government is putting Farm Credit Canada (FCC) under the microscope again — this time for being “too white.”

A new federal notice obtained by Blacklock's says Ottawa will amend the Farm Credit Canada Act to ensure the Regina-based Crown bank’s lending practices align with “the changing needs” of “traditionally underrepresented groups” — namely, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ, and women farmers.

“Farm operators are predominantly older white men,” reads a Department of Finance memo announcing the review. The plan would impose mandatory legislative reviews of FCC’s activities to guarantee they are “responsive” to the “specific needs” of “racialized and LGBTQ” entrepreneurs.

No details were provided about who requested the change or what problem the amendment is meant to solve.

According to Statistics Canada’s 2023 Socioeconomic Snapshot, Canada has 590,710 farmers. The typical farmer is male, over 55, and earns a median household income of $95,142. Only 3.7% identify as “from racialized groups,” and 2.8% as Indigenous.

While roughly 4% of Canadians identify as LGBTQ, Statistics Canada did not record how many farmers fall into that category.

This isn’t the first time FCC’s conduct has raised alarms. In 2022, internal emails obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter revealed that FCC managers were secretly flagging clients who opposed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the Freedom Convoy protests.

The emails instructed staff to “submit tips” on customers suspected of “support of activity related to the ‘Freedom Convoy’” — effectively blacklisting farmers for political views.

“Any individual or entities found participating in illegal activity under the Act will face appropriate action, including freezing disbursements and terminating business relationships,” one message warned.

Those actions were tied to the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act, which allowed banks to seize assets of Canadians who donated to or joined the peaceful protest.

Ottawa’s latest FCC directive looks less like reform and more like ideological control. After spying on clients for wrongthink, the bank is now being told to make lending decisions based on skin colour and sexual identity.

Farmers should not fear financial punishment for voting the “wrong” way or being part of the “wrong” demographic. If the government insists on politicizing credit, it’s time for accountability.

Canadian senator calls Communist China a ‘partner’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-senator-calls-communist-china-a-partner/

Trudeau-appointed Senator Clément Gignac attended meetings in China earlier this year and said the Communist country should not be considered a rival.

A Canadian senator appointed by former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Chinese officials directly that their nation is a “partner, not a rival.”

The comments came from Liberal-appointed Senator Clément Gignac, who earlier this year was in China attending meetings at which he “stressed the need to view each other as partners, not rivals,” per a report by the Canada-China Legislative Association.

Gignac, who was appointed by Trudeau in 2021, was part of a $42,853 press junket trip to Beijing and Guangzhou along with Canadian diplomats, who attended to “promote friendship and normalization.”

What is interesting is that Gignac’s trip came only a few days before Carney himself admitted that China poses a threat to Canada’s national security.

Gignac served as a former Québec trade minister and National Bank economist. He met with Hao Ping, vice chair of the Chinese Congress’ foreign affairs committee.

Notes from the meeting state that “Hao Ping expressed regret over recent tensions, citing Canada’s past friendship with China,” adding, “He stressed the need to view each other as partners, not rivals, and called for fair and equal treatment.”

It is stated that Gignac praised China’s supposed” “leadership in clean energy, education and aviation.” Continue…

Important update from @ Toronto Police regarding the arrest of multiple protesters who are facing charges in relation to yesterday’s violent incident targeting Jewish

https://breaking-news.ca/important-update-from-toronto-police-regarding-the-arrest-of-multiple-protesters-who-are-facing-charges-in-relation-to-yesterdays-violent-incident-targeting-jewish/

Important update from @TorontoPolice regarding the arrest of multiple protestors who are facing charges in relation to yesterday’s violent incident targeting Jewish @TorontoMet students in downtown Toronto. @LevittMichael

Toronto Police arrested five individuals—Nicole Baiton, Kiah Alexis, Fatimah Mugn i, Chelsea Wu, and Manal Kamran—on charges including forcible entry and assaulting an officer after protesters stormed a private pro-Israel event hosted by Toronto Metropolitan University students, injuring one attendee with broken glass.

The incident highlights escalating campus tensions in Canada amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, with B’nai Brith Canada reporting a 670% surge in antisemitic incidents since October 2023, including 51 violent attacks in 2024 alone.

Levitt’s post, from a prominent Jewish advocacy leader, amplifies police accountability while sparking debates on protest funding and mask laws, reflecting polarized online discourse on free speech versus public safety.

No Date Yet for When Foreign Interference Watchdog Will Be Hired, Public Safety Minister Says

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says it’s still not known when a foreign interference watchdog would be appointed.

“They will be appointed in short order. We are finalizing, and we will bring forward a name to colleagues opposite for feedback,” Anandasangaree told the House of Commons Public Safety Committee on Nov. 6.

Under repeated questioning from Conservative MP Frank Caputo, Anandasangaree said the agency is currently “working towards the appointment” of someone for the position. Caputo said that Canadians expected Anandasangaree to take action on foreign interference, and “you’re the one appearing here, and you won’t even give us a date.”

Anandasangaree had previously said in August that he hoped the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois would have a chance to review the candidates for the foreign interference watchdog before the government named the position ahead of Parliament returning on Sept. 15. Continue…

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Says He’s Resigning From Parliament

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux says he is resigning from Parliament and vacating his seat as the representative for the Alberta riding of Edmonton Riverbend to spend more time with his family.

Jeneroux said on Nov. 6 that his exact resignation date will be determined later, adding that he'll likely leave in the spring.

The four-term MP’s resignation comes two days after Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont left the Conservative caucus to join the Liberals. Amid rumours that Jeneroux was considering a similar move, his office said on Nov. 5 that there is no truth to the speculations.

Jeneroux announced his resignation as an MP in a statement on Nov. 6, saying that his “focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that.”

In another statement posted on Facebook late on Nov. 6, Jeneroux said that there was “no coercion” involved in his departure, and that he is leaving caucus on amicable terms. Continue…

Liberal Government Survives First Budget-Related Confidence Vote

The Liberal government survived its first confidence vote related to its budget bill after a Conservative sub-amendment to the budget failed in the House of Commons.

The vote failed 139 to 198 after the Liberals, Bloc Québécois, NDP, and Green Party voted against a Conservative sub-amendment to a Bloc amendment to the budget bill on Nov. 6 that called for the House of Commons to reject the budget.

A separate vote on the Bloc amendment will happen on Nov. 7. Both votes are confidence ones, meaning that if the Liberal government loses, it could trigger an early election.

While the first amendment to be moved typically would come from the Official Opposition, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre did not present one after a speech responding to the budget on Nov. 5. This led to Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet quickly introducing an amendment to the budget instead. Continue…

Scandium, Graphite Among Critical Minerals Ottawa Plans to Stockpile to Counter Beijing’s Market Dominance

Domestic scandium and graphite are among the critical minerals Ottawa plans to stockpile as it moves to secure Canada’s supply chain and support G7 allies amid growing concerns over Beijing’s dominance of the market.

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson announced last week, along with G7 partners, new initiatives to secure critical mineral supply chains and reduce dependencies in a market widely dominated by Beijing. Ottawa said these include stockpiling critical minerals to “further safeguard Canada’s national security and sovereignty,” but did not specify which ones.

Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite, with which Ottawa entered an offtake agreement as part of its recently announced measures, said the deal with the federal government includes the option to stockpile graphite, which is widely used in electric car batteries, solar and wind technologies, and the defence sector. An offtake agreement involves Ottawa buying a set amount of a mine’s production.

“Our agreement provides the capacity to stockpile or to market into domestic markets, depending on the Government’s priorities and directives,” Julie Paquet, the company’s spokesperson, told The Epoch Times.

Greg Frame, senior communications adviser to Hodgson, confirmed to The Globe and Mail that Ottawa plans to stockpile graphite, and that scandium is another critical mineral the government intends to include in its strategy.

He said the scandium will come from part of the output of Rio Tinto, a British-Australian mining and metals company with which Ottawa also recently signed an offtake agreement. Scandium is widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and defence industries. Rio Tinto owns the only scandium production plant in North America, located in Sorel-Tracy, Que. Continue…

Canada Adds 67,000 Jobs in October, Extending Modest Growth Into Second Month

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canada-adds-67000-jobs-in-october-extending-modest-growth-into-second-month-5941538?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=more-top-news-0

Canada’s labour market recorded an unanticipated increase in jobs in October, marking slight gains for the second month in a row, according to federal data.

The country’s economy saw an increase of 67,000 jobs in October, causing the unemployment rate to fall by two tenths of a percentage point to 6.9 percent, Statistics Canada said in a Nov. 7 report.

October’s employment numbers were primarily attributed to 85,000 new part-time positions, up 2.3 percent since September. Full-time employment decreased by 18,500 positions last month, following 0.6 percent growth in September, StatCan said.

Jobs in the private sector rose 0.5 percent during the same period to mark its first positive shift since June.

BMO chief economist Douglas Porter said the job growth in September and October served to fully reverse the “nasty two-month decline” seen in July and August.

He said while October employment stats are a “welcome result” it wasn’t all good news. Continue…

‘This Is Disgusting’: NS Premier Condemns Judges Asking Court Staff Not to Don Poppy

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is criticizing what he is calling an “order” issued by judges forbidding employees from donning poppies while working in certain court facilities and has vowed to enact legislation, if necessary, to protect the rights of workers who want to wear the Remembrance Day symbol.

Houston said the so-called directive was issued by Nova Scotia judges who consider the poppy to be a political statement. He called it “disgusting” in a lengthy social media post, adding that the “judges who issued this order are wrong.”

“The poppy is not a political statement,” he said in the Nov. 6 post. “It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country.” Continue…

Border Agency Has 500 Officers Looking for 32,000 Illegal Immigrants: President

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has approximately 500 officers handling the removal of more than 32,000 unaccounted-for illegal immigrants, the agency’s president says.

CBSA President Erin O’Gorman testified before a House of Commons public safety committee on Nov. 6, along with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, to discuss the Liberal government’s Bill C-12, also known as the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act.

Conservative MP Frank Caputo asked O’Gorman how many CBSA officers are looking for the more than 32,000 absconded illegal immigrants, who O’Gorman previously told the committee there are warrants out for.

“Approximately 500 people are doing removals,” O’Gorman told MPs at the Nov. 6 committee meeting, noting there are 1,000 inland enforcement officers in total who deal with the enforcement of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Continue…

Liberals live to see another day after second confidence vote on budget

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberals-expected-to-survive-after-second-confidence-vote-on-budget-today

The minority Liberal government lives to see another day, after Liberals and Conservatives joined forces to crush a Bloc Québécois amendment to the budget on Friday.

The Bloc’s motion called on the House of Commons to reject the government’s budget, which the party says will “hurt Quebec” because it fails to increase provincial health and old age security transfers for seniors aged 65 to 74, and to combat climate change.

Liberals declared that the vote would be considered a matter of confidence, which meant that if it was adopted, the government would fall, and Canadians will be headed to an early election.

The Bloc MPs supported their party’s amendment, as did the NDP and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, for a total of 30 votes. But a sweeping majority of Liberals and Conservatives voted against, bringing the tally of MPs voting against to 307 votes against. Continue…

Grand Jury Subpoenas Brennan, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok in Russiagate Investigation

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/just-grand-jury-subpoenas-brennan-lisa-page-peter/

…Fox News reported:

A federal grand jury has subpoenaed former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, among others as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, Fox News Digital has learned.

Sources told Fox News Digital Brennan; Strzok, the FBI’s former deputy assistant director of counterintelligence; and Page, a former FBI lawyer, were served with federal subpoenas on Friday.

Law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital that up to 30 subpoenas will be issued in the coming days relating to the investigation.

The grand jury is out of the Southern District of Florida. U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is supervising the probe.

Fox News Digital first reported in July that Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey were under investigation.

Brennan was also separately referred for prosecution by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Chairman Jordan referred Brennan to the DOJ for knowingly making false statements during a May 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee.

Scientist Convicted of Spying for China – Most Recent in Troubling Trend of Chinese Espionage

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/scientist-convicted-spying-china-most-recent-troubling-trend/

Ji Wang, 63, of Painted Post, New York, was convicted of two counts of economic espionage, one count of theft of trade secrets, and two counts of attempted espionage and theft. He faces up to 15 years in prison for each espionage charge and 10 years for theft, with sentencing scheduled for April 15, 2026.

Wang immigrated to the United States in 1998 to work for Corning Incorporated. From 2002 to 2007, he participated in a joint Corning–DARPA project developing optical fibers for high-powered laser weapons capable of destroying drones and missiles. On July 1, 2016, just ten days after applying for China’s Thousand Talents Plan, he stole hundreds of confidential files containing technical data that could allow replication of advanced fiber lasers.

Two months later, he was accepted into the program. Between 2014 and 2017, Wang also negotiated with Chinese government entities to start a specialty fiber business in China, seeking tens of millions in investment and emphasizing the technology’s military potential, claiming it could determine “victory or defeat” in war.

Between 2021 and 2024, the U.S. government reported more than sixty Chinese Communist Party–linked espionage incidents on American soil, with roughly 80 percent of economic espionage prosecutions and 60 percent of trade secret theft cases tied to China. During President Trump’s first term, U.S. investigators exposed the vast scale of China’s theft of American technology and intellectual property.

A 2018 report by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) documented systematic abuses, forced technology transfers, state-sponsored acquisitions, and cyber intrusions, costing the United States hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Continue…

We have reported on how Japan was forced to mobilize police and military forces to tackle dangerous bear populations that caused over 70 attacks on human beings in the last month.

Initially, all reports were mentioning the work to ‘capture’ the beasts – but yesterday (5), the National Police Agency announced that they’ve ‘revised the rules’ to allow riot officers ‘to cull wild bears with rifles’.

EU Commission Mulls Joint Debt, Bilateral Grants To Plug Ukraine Funding Gap

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-commission-mulls-joint-debt-bilateral-grants-plug-ukraine-funding-gap

The European Commission is considering plugging Ukraine’s colossal funding gap with cash raised from common EU debt and bilateral member state grants, according to three people familiar with the matter.

These two possibilities – which will be set out in a Commission “options paper” for Kyiv due to be circulated to capitals in the coming weeks – come in addition to the so-called “reparation loan” option.

The latter proposal seeks to use €140 billion worth of immobilised sovereign Russian assets held by Euroclear, a Brussels-based clearing house, to support Ukraine’s war effort and reconstruction.

The reparation loan is the Commission’s preferred option for supporting Ukraine despite Belgium’s refusal to back the scheme at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels in October, the sources said.

Many member countries – including Germany and the Baltic nations – share this sentiment.

Belgium successfully watered down last month’s Council conclusions, which ultimately tasked the Commission to draft “options” to support Kyiv’s financing needs that did not specifically mention making use of Russia’s assets, which were frozen after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has pledged to block the reparation loan scheme unless other member states share legal and financial risks associated with the loan, and other EU countries harness Russian sovereign assets held in their own jurisdictions alongside Belgium. Continue…

Cold Blast from Canada Threatens 100 Million Across Eastern U.S.

https://www.breitbart.com/weather/2025/11/07/cold-blast-from-canada-threatens-100-million-across-eastern-u-s/

A massive blast of cold weather is heading down from southwestern Canada and is expected to sweep across the eastern United States in the next few days.

The change of weather will roll out over the weekend into next week, hitting areas of the South and North, AccuWeather reported Thursday.

“Behind the storm, colder air will surge southward across the Plains and Mississippi Valley this weekend. The cold air will roll out of central Canada into this weekend and receive a further boost from a strengthening dip in the jet stream that is expected to develop by early next week,” the outlet said, noting that temperatures in areas that experience windy conditions could feel 10 to 20 degrees lower than the actual air temperature.

The plunging temperatures will affect more than 100 million people across the nation, per USA Today: Continue…

Türkiye issues ‘genocide’ arrest warrant for Netanyahu

https://www.rt.com/news/627488-turkiye-netanyahu-arrest-warrant/

Ankara has accused dozens of Israeli officials of “systematic” crimes against civilians in Gaza

The Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other senior officials for alleged genocide and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, according to Turkish media.

Israel launched its military campaign in response to the Hamas-led raid on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,200 people. The retaliatory strikes and ground operations have since killed over 68,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health authorities.

The warrants, released by Istanbul’s Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on Friday, accuse Israeli officials of participating in a “systematic” campaign of violence against civilians, including the bombing of the Turkish‑Palestinian Friendship Hospital and the obstruction of humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza.

EU to establish ‘Ministry of Truth’ – Guardian

https://www.rt.com/news/627490-eu-censorship-disinformation-center/

Brussels seeks to curb the spread of information it claims could “erode trust in democratic systems”

The European Union is planning to launch a centralized hub for monitoring and countering what it calls foreign “disinformation,” according to a leaked document seen by the Guardian. Critics have long warned that Brussels’ initiatives amount to the institutionalization of a censorship regime.

According to the European Commission proposal, set to be published on November 12, the so-called Centre for Democratic Resilience will function as part of a broader “democracy shield” strategy, pitched by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ahead of the 2024 European elections.

Participation in the center will be voluntary, and the Commission has welcomed “like-minded partners” outside the bloc, including the UK and countries seeking accession.

The draft accuses Russia of escalating “hybrid attacks” by disseminating false narratives, while also pointing to China as another threat – alleging that Beijing uses PR firms and social media influencers to advance its interests across Europe. Continue…

US mercenary scammed in Ukraine ‘laser weapon’ fraud case – prosecutors

https://www.rt.com/russia/627476-us-mercenary-scammed-ukraine/

The American soldier of fortune was allegedly duped out of $85,000 with promises of a drone-killing device

An American mercenary fighting for Ukraine was scammed out of roughly $85,000 by two local men who claimed they could build him a laser weapon to destroy drones, the country’s Prosecutor General’s Office said on Friday.

To lend credibility to their claim, the suspects allegedly staged a fake demonstration of the supposed device, after which the unlucky soldier of fortune handed over the cash.

The suspects, who are said to have no technical expertise or plans to produce any weapon, have been charged with fraud. Around $20,000 has been recovered, prosecutors said, with efforts ongoing to retrieve the rest.

The case is one of several high-profile scams that have emerged amid the ongoing conflict. In one incident, scammers posing as a charitable foundation defrauded soldiers and a mercenary out of nearly $60,000 by promising vehicles and surveillance gear. Continue…

Hungary is a Christian government in EU ‘liberal ocean’ – Orban

https://www.rt.com/news/627487-hungary-christian-government-liberal-ocean/

Budapest is also the sole “pro-peace” EU nation that supports Washington’s efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the prime minister added

Hungary is the only EU nation governed by a “modern Christian government,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.

Orban is known for his staunch criticism of EU policies, including those related to the Ukraine conflict and migration, and has previously accused Brussels of turning the bloc into a symbol of weakness and chaos.

“We are a special island of difference in a liberal ocean in Europe,” he told journalists, adding that his cabinet pursues policies “different from what the others are doing even at the philosophical level, and at the level of practice as well.”

“We are the only government in Europe that considers itself a modern Christian government,” Orban stated. Continue…

Liberals chip away at federal bureaucracy with 40k planned job cuts

https://www.rebelnews.com/liberals_chip_away_at_federal_bureaucracy_with_40k_job_cuts

The government aims to curb operational spending growth from 8% to under 1% and improve program efficiency, partly via expanded AI use.

The federal government plans to cut 40,000 public service jobs (10%) by the end of fiscal year 2028-29, abandoning its election promise of attrition-only cuts. This move aims to slow government operational spending growth from 8% to under 1% and boost program efficiency, partly through expanded AI use.

The budget aims to cut public sector workers to 330,000 by 2028-29 — a reduction of 16,000 full-time positions — from a 2023-24 peak of 368,000, to achieve a "more sustainable level." Continue…

102-Year-Old Veteran Who Served With Secret Canadian Unit Shares His Story

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/102-year-old-veteran-who-served-with-secret-canadian-unit-shares-his-story-5939585?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

World War II veteran Emilio (Mel) Mizzi has lived most of his long and storied life in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., but spent some of his most memorable years miles away intercepting enemy radio communications.

Mizzi was a 19-year-old working at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie when he decided to enlist in 1941.

“It was a good experience, and I was doing something for my country,” he said in a phone interview with The Epoch Times. “I liked the army and the army liked me.”

The young man spent his early days in the military working as a mechanic on vehicles. Mizzi aspired to be a paratrooper, but was turned down due to his high blood pressure. Asked why he wanted to jump out of an airplane, Mizzi joked, “Because it was quicker [to get] where you were going.”

But Mizzi would receive a special role nonetheless, when he was recruited to intercept and decrypt naval code messages radioed by the Japanese. He first took up this role with the Royal Canadian Signal Corps at No. 10 Area Signal Company in Vancouver. Later, he became one of just five orderly room personnel transferred to the No. 1 Special Wireless Group (1SWG), established in mid-1944. Continue…

Meet the IMF economist with a major influence on Mark Carney's big-spending ways

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/meet-the-bulgarian-economist-with-a-major-influence-on-ottawas-big-spending-ways

Georgieva, a graduate of the Karl Marx Institute of Economics, is even quoted generously in the two-page foreword section of the federal budget

Who is Kristalina Ivanova Georgieva-Kinova? And how did she apparently convince the debt-ridden Canadian government to spend billions of dollars?

Georgieva-Kinova, or simply Georgieva as she is known professionally, is a Bulgarian economist who has been the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the last six years.

But unlike most 72-year-old eastern European technocrats, Georgieva seems in recent months to have had a profound influence on Canadian fiscal policy.

At almost every public stop in recent weeks, including Thursday’s post-budget event at an innovation hub in Toronto, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has referred to Georgieva’s apparent endorsement of the Canadian government’s policy directions, particularly its willingness to spend more.

During his opening remarks at the Toronto event, Champagne said he visited the IMF recently where Georgieva pointed to only two countries — Germany and Canada — that have the fiscal room to spend more on items such as infrastructure and housing.

Georgieva, a graduate of the Karl Marx Institute of Economics, is even quoted generously in the two-page foreword of the federal budget itself, saying that Canada “stands out” in the G7 for its decisiveness, including the way it has “modernized the budget framework — separating operating spending from investing, and focusing strategically on pro-growth investments that can lift up productivity.” Continue…

Trailer Park Boys actor Mike Smith charged with sexual assault in Halifax

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/article-mike-smith-sexual-assault-charges-trailer-park-boys-halifax/

Actor Mike Smith, best known as the character Bubbles on the television show Trailer Park Boys, has been charged with sexual assault.

Mr. Smith, 53, was charged by Halifax Regional Police on Oct. 2, according to court documents filed in Nova Scotia’s provincial court. The assault is alleged to have occurred in December, 2017, but the charging documents do not include additional details of the allegations.

The allegations have not been proven in court. Mr. Smith and his lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday, nor did the show’s agent and manager. Continue…

Humanoid Robot Roundup: Tesla Kicks Off Optimus Pilot Production As Goldman Tours China's Supply Chain

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/humanoid-robot-report-tesla-kicks-optimus-pilot-production-goldman-tours-chinas-robot

At Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in Austin, Texas, on Thursday evening, more than 75% of investors approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion CEO Performance Award. The package is tied to ambitious milestones, including nationwide robotaxi deployment, large-scale production of the Optimus humanoid robot, and market-capitalization thresholds designed to align long-term value creation with Musk's strategic vision to dominate the 2030s by controlling the most advanced technologies.

A limited internal production of Optimus has already begun at Tesla's Fremont, California factory. The goal next year is to ramp up series production with an eventual goal of a million humanoid robots per year.

"So we're going to launch on the fastest production ramp of any product of any large complex manufactured product ever, starting with building a one million unit production line in Fremont. And that's Line One. And then a 10-million-unit-per-year production line here (at Giga Texas). I don't know where we're going to put the one hundred million unit production line, maybe on Mars. But I think it's going to literally get to one hundred million a year, maybe even a billion a year," Musk told investors at the annual shareholder meeting yesterday

BASF CEO: EU CO₂ Trading Is A "Destruction Mechanism" For European Industry

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/basf-ceo-eu-co2-trading-destruction-mechanism-european-industry

The roadmap is already set: in the coming years, the EU and its member states will make both businesses and consumers pay even more for CO₂ emissions. BASF CEO Markus Kamieth warns of the enormous destructive potential of this policy.

Truth comes on pigeon feet – Friedrich Nietzsche already knew that. And apparently, the same applies to European climate policy: slowly, but inevitably, the reality of the true costs of the green transformation and its impact on Germany’s industrial foundation is emerging.

On October 29, BASF’s CEO Markus Kamieth faced the press during the quarterly results presentation. What he announced was another cold shower for anyone still hoping for a new economic miracle. Continue…

Hungary Gets Its Badly Needed Russian Energy Exemption After Warm Trump-Orban Meeting

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hungary-gets-its-badly-needed-russian-energy-exemption-after-warm-trump-orban-meeting

In a hugely significant, though not totally unexpected development, President Trump has exempted Hungary from sanctions over its continued purchases of Russian oil and gas for a period one year, according to a BBC report, citing a White House official.

The news follows Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Friday trip to the Washington where he was hosted for a state visit in the Oval Office. After being received very warmly by the US president, Trump conceded "it's very difficult for him [Orban] to get the oil and gas from other areas". Continue…

Endgame For Germany's Industrial Power Prices: Green Deal Failure Sparks Subsidy Spiral

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/endgame-germanys-industrial-power-prices-green-deal-failure-sparks-subsidy-spiral

On Thursday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hosted top executives from the German steel industry at a summit in the the Chancellery to discuss solutions to the deepening crisis. Since the peak year of 2018, German steel production has fallen by around 25 percent.

Germany’s economic crisis is accelerating. Sky-high energy costs, relentless competition from China and India, and the EU’s absurd push for “green steel”—a climate-neutral variant no one demands on the world market—are pushing companies either into insolvency or out of the country.

Thursday’s meeting will bring together industry representatives, unions, and policymakers to chart the next steps for a sector facing its most severe turbulence in decades.

This is just the latest in a string of crisis summits orchestrated by the federal government for media effect. Awareness is demonstrated—solutions? Not so much. For Germany’s economy, political “solutions” increasingly mean one standard instrument: more subsidies. Continue…

The Day The Guns Fell Silent On The Western Front

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/day-guns-fell-silent-western-front

On the stroke of 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, fighting ceased on the Western Front, bringing an end to what contemporaries were calling the Great War—the most destructive conflict in world history up to that point. Rejoicing and relief were the order of the day, at least on the Allied side.

The headlines of the Ottawa Citizen read: “PEACE! World War Ends; Armistice Signed; Kaiser Is Out; Revolution Grows.” In Montreal, Le Devoir reported: “Workers … arrived at their factories with their hearts light, liberated from a great burden. In the animated streets, pedestrians were brandishing newspapers with large smiles, their eyes brimming with fire.” The Winnipeg Free Press reported, “Winnipeg Goes Wild With Joy of Peace.”

Church bells rang across Canada, spontaneous processions broke out, liquor flowed, bands played, and tens of thousands of women and children wondered when their fathers, husbands, and sons would be demobilized and ready to come home.

Among the cities of the defeated Central Powers, the reaction was less jubilant.

In Berlin, the news was, “Berlin Seized By Revolutionists: New Chancellor Begs For Order; Ousted Kaiser Flees To Holland.” The Neue Freie Presse in Vienna read, “The Empire Collapses.”

Front-page stories across Germany and Austro-Hungary covered food shortages, public protests, and the turmoil that followed the proclamation of peace.

In the ranks of the Canadian Corps on the front lines in Belgium there was naturally jubilation, but that feeling was also mixed with anger—anger that their commander, Lt.-Gen. Sir Arthur Currie, had ordered continued attacks on the German-held city of Mons right up until the last moment, even though he knew an end to the war would soon be declared.

Currie’s decision had particular significance for Pte. George Price of Port Williams, Nova Scotia. Continue…

The False Temperature Claims That Underpin The COP30 Alarmist Agenda

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/false-temperature-claims-underpin-cop30-alarmist-agenda

The next two weeks of COP30 will see three favourite climate scares relentlessly broadcast to promote the fast-fading hard-Left Net Zero fantasy.

They are:

1, breaching a 1.5°C global ‘threshold’ leading to runaway temperatures;

2, human-caused tipping points producing unimaginable natural disasters;

3, and attribution of single-event bad weather to the use of natural hydrocarbons.

The 1.5°C figure is a meaningless number invented by politicians and activists to concentrate Net Zero minds; tipping points are climate model codswallop; and ditto attribution crystal ball-gazing.

None of them are backed up by credible scientific evidence and observation.

Which of course is why political elites have trashed the scientific process of inquiry, banned and cancelled any dissenting discussion and declared the matter ‘settled’. Continue…

King Charles III Leads Britain’s Remembrance Sunday Ceremony for War Dead

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/11/09/king-charles-iii-leads-britains-remembrance-sunday-ceremony-for-war-dead/

Thousands of military personnel, veterans and members of the public gathered under blue skies Sunday in London as King Charles III led Britain’s annual ceremony of remembrance for the country’s war dead.

As Parliament’s Big Ben bell tolled 11 a.m., the crowd fell still for two minutes of silence, broken by a single artillery blast and Royal Marines buglers sounding “The Last Post.”

The 76-year-old king, dressed in the uniform of an army field marshal, laid a wreath of red paper poppies on a black background at the base of the Cenotaph war memorial near Parliament. Erected over a century ago to honor the British and allied troops killed in World War I, it has become the focus of annual ceremonies for members of military and civilian services killed in that war and subsequent conflicts.

The national ceremony of remembrance is held every year on the nearest Sunday to the anniversary of the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. Similar memorial services are held in dozens of towns and cities across Britain and at U.K. military bases overseas. Continue…

149,000 Belgian teens invited to ‘voluntary’ military service

https://www.rt.com/news/627516-belgium-teens-military-letters/

The Defense Ministry has sent out letters to all of the country’s 17-year-olds

The Belgian military has sent 149,000 letters to all 17-year-olds in the country, outlining the benefits and encouraging them to consider a year of voluntary service once they turn 18, Defense Minister Theo Francken has announced.

Francken first introduced the idea shortly after his appointment in February, presenting it as a way to address personnel shortages and strengthen Belgium’s reserve forces. Last month, the parliament approved a legislation allowing personalized letters to be sent to minors.

“149,000 letters were sent out yesterday. All 17-year-olds in the country are being encouraged to learn about Defense in general and the voluntary military service year in particular. Let’s go!” Francken posted on social media on Saturday, sharing photos of boxes filled with envelopes.

The initiative is voluntary, but critics argue that it lays the groundwork for a return to mandatory military service. Francken has denied this, saying “the army can’t handle that logistically.” Continue…

Overview of the Federal UN Declaration Act (UNDA)

https://breaking-news.ca/overview-of-the-federal-un-declaration-act-unda/

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDA), also known as the federal UN Declaration Act, received royal assent on June 21, 2021, making Canada the first country to enact comprehensive national legislation to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It commits the Government of Canada to aligning all federal laws, policies, and practices with UNDRIP’s 46 articles, which affirm Indigenous rights to self-determination, lands, territories, resources, culture, and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC). UNDA emphasizes partnership with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nations, requiring consultation and cooperation to advance reconciliation and address historical injustices. Unlike binding international law, UNDA serves as a framework for domestic action, complementing section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.Implementation is guided by a 2023–2028 Action Plan, co-developed over two years with Indigenous partners and released in June 2023. This “evergreen” document outlines 181 measures to achieve UNDRIP’s objectives, with annual progress reports tabled in Parliament by June 30 each year (developed in collaboration with Indigenous advisory bodies). A key milestone in 2025 was the establishment of an Indigenous-led Advisory Committee in March to oversee Action Plan advancements.Key Components of the Action PlanThe Action Plan structures its 181 measures around shared priorities identified by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, focusing on transformative change rather than isolated initiatives. Measures are distributed across federal departments, with an emphasis on distinctions-based approaches (tailored to each Indigenous group). It aligns directly with UNDRIP by embedding its principles—such as self-determination (Articles 3–4), rights to lands and resources (Articles 25–32), and participation in decision-making (Articles 18–19)—into federal operations.

The Economist says white Americans having babies is 'insidious'

https://thepostmillennial.com/the-economist-suggests-wanting-to-have-more-babies-is-racist

The Economist suggested in a op ed published earlier this week that the pro-natalist movement, an activist campaign surrounding wanting more babies, is actually racist.

The outlet, usually known for in-depth analysis on business, posted a link to its story on X, with the caption, "With Trump and Vance in power, many pro-natalists believe this is the moment to jump-start baby-making. But some critics see pro-natalism as part of an insidious project to create a whiter America."

The caption, along with the outlet's coverage on the topic, led to heavy ridicule from conservatives on X, with commentator Matt Wash joking, "Oh no. They've uncovered our insidious plot to continue existing." Continue…

Quebec Police Arrest 22 Men Following Child Sexual Exploitation Investigation

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/quebec-police-arrest-22-men-following-child-sexual-exploitation-investigation-5942009?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=more-top-news-0

Quebec police have arrested and charged 22 men following an investigation into online child exploitation in the province.

Police said the men range in age from 18 to 70 years old, but did not release their names.

The Sûreté du Québec said more than 150 police officers were involved in an investigation from Nov. 3 to 7, including members of the Internet Child Exploitation Investigation Team, the Major Crimes Investigation Division of Boucherville, the Montreal Police Service, the Quebec City Police Service, the Laval Police Service, the Loungueuil Agglomeration Police Service, and the Gatineau Police Service.

The police said that of those charged, 20 have appeared in court to face charges of possession, distribution, and access to files that contained child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

Police also said they seized computer equipment for analysis during 26 searches.

Lieutenant Katherine Guimond, head of the division investigating the sexual exploitation of children on the internet, said the operation involved “significant collaborative work and coordination.” Continue…

President Trump Pardons 77 Alternate Electors and Several Top Associates from 2020 Election, Including: Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Jeffrey Clark and Mark Meadows

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/president-trump-pardons-77-alternate-electors-2020-election/

President Trump on Sunday night pardoned the 77 alternative electors from the 2020 election who were ruthlessly and unjustly persecuted by the Joe Biden regime after the stolen 2020 election.

The list includes President Trump’s former attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Christina Bobb, and John Eastman. The list also includes Trump’s trusted advisors Mark Meadows, Boris Epshteyn, and dozens of alternative electors from Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

The language of the pardon is largely symbolic — none of those identified were charged with federal crimes. The document posted by Martin is also undated, so it’s unclear when Trump signed it.

Ed Martin reported the news late on Sunday night.

“Breaking: President Donald J. Trump has pardoned the 2020 Alternative Electors,” Martin wrote on X.

He continued, “Thank you: [President Donald J. Trump] for allowing me, as U.S. Pardon Attorney, to work with [The White House], along with [Attorney General Pam Bondi], [Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche], and Solicitor General John Sauer, to achieve your intent — let their healing begin. #Federalist74.” Continue…

J.P. Morgan Quietly Helped Jack Smith Target Trump Media

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/j-p-morgan-quietly-helped-jack-smith-target/

The weaponization of federal power has reached a new level.

In a shocking revelation, Special Counsel Jack Smith secretly subpoenaed J.P. Morgan Chase for the private banking records of Trump Media and Technology Group—despite the company not existing at the time of January 6.

The move, uncovered by Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes, represents yet another case of the Justice Department extending its political reach far beyond reason or legality.

Trump Media became a public company in 2024, years after the events that Smith’s investigation supposedly focused on.

Yet, Smith’s “Arctic Frost” operation went after Truth Social’s bank records as though it were somehow connected to the Capitol protests.

That alone raises the question: what possible justification could exist for subpoenaing a company that didn’t exist at the time of the alleged crime?

None—unless the motive was political.

As Nunes explained in his interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, the subpoena was not only unjustified but also secret.

Trump Media was never notified. Even more concerning, J.P. Morgan Chase—one of the largest banks in the world—complied without question.

For a company headquartered in Florida, such cooperation with an unfounded federal demand may have violated both state and federal laws. Yet the bank went further. Continue…

Schumer Melts Down on Senate Floor as Democrat Senators Cave and Join Republicans to Reopen Government (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/schumer-melts-down-senate-floor-as-democrat-senators/

The US Senate on Sunday evening voted to break the filibuster, paving the way to reopen the government.

After 40 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats caved and joined the Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.

The House will return to session on Wednesday to vote on the Senate-passed funding package.

Senator Cornyn arrived shortly after 10:45 pm to cast the final vote.

The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.

Schumer lost the battle on Sunday evening, and he didn’t take it well. Continue…

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Michael Gates Resigns From DOJ — Returns to Huntington Beach to “Carry on the Critical Legal Battles”

In his resignation letter to Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Gates cited “much prayer, thought, and deliberation” in making his decision to step down.

Shortly after submitting his resignation, Gates posted on X: Continue…

Leaked Call Exposes State Department-Backed “Color Revolution” with Global Partners — Ex-USAID Staff Admit Coordinating Encrypted Networks and Foreign NGOs Against Trump Administration (videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/leaked-call-exposes-state-department-backed-color-revolution/

A new bombshell thread from investigative reporter DataRepublican on X exposes a disturbing glimpse inside what appears to be a State Department-led color revolution operating through USAID, foreign NGOs, and left-wing organizations funded by billionaire George Soros.

According to newly surfaced recordings shared by DataRepublican on X, former USAID employees openly discussed moving internal groups off federal systems into encrypted Signal chats ahead of the presidential inauguration, and then linking up with international partners to ‘mobilize against authoritarianism.’

The recordings themselves, taken from what appears to be a USAID virtual meeting, capture staff boasting about building “coordination structures” with Johns Hopkins University, international “democracy and conflict mitigation spaces,” and “colleagues from around the world” who had “dealt with this directly.”

In one clip, a USAID staff member named Van(she/her) describe how, prior to January 20, they migrated internal communications away from government servers and onto encrypted Signal chats, linking with “transition initiative” programs designed for foreign regime-change operations.

She describes moving internal communication channels away from USAID’s main systems “into Signal chats to protect our community,” citing fears of reprisal from the incoming Trump administration.

After the inauguration, Van confirmed that contractors immediately set up “Stop Work Order” websites and private communication groups to coordinate messaging, claiming it was a “response to disinformation.”

Within weeks, hundreds of staff reportedly joined these encrypted groups as the agency’s leadership was decapitated and “administrative leave” orders were issued. Continue…

Hello darkness my old friend/I’ve come to talk with you again

We’ve seen this movie before: November comes, and Russian forces unleash massive drone and missile strikes targeting the power generation and infrastructure, leading Ukraine to live in darkness and the cold.

Both Ukrenergo and Centrenergo (‘zero generation’) have reported catastrophic damage.

Ukraine is currently in the worst state energy-wise of the entire special military operation.

But since major blackouts also happened a year ago, many ask themselves why Russians take the Ukrainian energy grid to the limit but do not completely obliterate it.

Remember all of the outrage from liberals and climate hoaxers over the Amazon Rainforest burning?

The same people telling you that you need to take shorter showers, drive less, consume less meat, scrap your gas stoves and appliances, and drive electric cars– all to ensure “climate equity” and save minorities– flocked to Brazil in their private jets and limousines for the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference this week.

And solely for their expedience and access to the summit, Brazil reportedly chopped down tens of thousands of acres of trees, harming local Brazillians, to make way for a new four-lane highway through the Amazon rainforest.

Claudio Verequete, an Acai berry farmer in the area, told BBC, “our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”

Additionally, animal habitats have been destroyed, and conservation efforts will be impacted. Yet, this is exactly what those at the UN’s COP30 summit will likely preach against.

The scourge of the Indian Ocean is back.

A couple of decades ago, the Somali pirates lived their ‘golden age’, unleashing thousands of attacks upon merchant ships on trade routes off the coast of Somalia.

At their peak, in 2011, no fewer than 237 attacks were reported, costing companies approximately $7 billion, with an estimated $160 million paid out in ransoms.

And now, they’re back. Continue…

What appears to be an act of terrorism in the heart of India's capital city has left at least eight people dead and over 24 injured. It happened at Delhi's popular Lajpat Rai Market.

"A car explosion in New Delhi's Red Fort area, popular with tourists to the Indian capital city, has killed several people and injured many more, local media reported," according to reports of Monday's blast. "The cause of the explosion is not immediately clear, but it occurred in a parked car outside Gate 1 of the Red Fort metro station."

One eyewitness only identified as a nearby shopkeeper has told local media: "I never heard such a loud explosion ever in my life." The person described, "I fell three times due to the explosion. It felt as if we were all going to die."

Amid a huge police and emergency response, security personnel across India have been put on a high state of alert particularly near religious and tourism sites, per Al Jazeera: Continue…

Trump To Host Syrian President At White House

U.S. President Donald Trump will host Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House on Nov. 10, in the first visit by a Syrian leader to Washington.

The meeting comes six months after Trump and Sharaa met in Saudi Arabia and days after the United Nations and the United States lifted terrorism-related sanctions on the Syrian leader.

Sharaa took office in December 2024 after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, following a 13-year civil war that ended with a victory by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) means Organization for the Liberation of Syria in Arabic. It began as al-Nusra Front, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, the Islamist terrorist group founded by Osama bin Laden. The group was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 2018, but it was removed from the list this year.

Last December, the United States dropped a $10 million counter-terror bounty against Sharaa, who was previously known as Abu Mohammad al-Golani. The decision coincided with a U.S. diplomatic visit to Syria on Dec. 20, 2024.

A now-deleted bounty notice against Sharaa notes his role in founding the Nusra Front and leading the group through its reorganization into HTS. The bounty notice further stated that the group had taken part in kidnappings and killings in Syria over the years, including the 2015 slayings of 20 Druze villagers in the Idlib province.

Last week, the U.N. Security Council lifted terror-related sanctions designations on him and Syrian Interior Minister Anas Khattab.
