[JTN] Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's anti-U.S. vitriol has reached new heights after he suggested he has prepared for a possible military invasion by American forces. "I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk," Carney said recently.
Tail risk? What on earth is that?
He could lose his ass.
"That's just risk management. That's not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to" prepare.
According to armedforces.eu, a military database, the United States Armed Forces have about 1,333,030 active-duty troops, while the Canadian Armed Forces have roughly 63,500 active personnel, and U.S. firepower vastly outguns that available to Canada.
Carney railed against new U.S. tariffs that went into place in the absence of a formal trade deal between the two countries.
"Progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians. As a result, this evening, I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa," he said in a statement in late August.
“In recent days, the United States proposed new terms that were uneconomic, unfair, and undermined the net benefits for Canada, and called into question the reliability of any deal. In short, they asked too much, and they offered too little,” Carney said during a press conference.

Canada will experience an internal revolt if anything close to what Lionel suggests happens. The country is already divided, as is the Armed Forces. The Western Provinces would welcome an excuse to remove themselves from the feckless Carney and Ottawa.
[JustTheNews] An investigation by the watchdog for U.S. taxpayer-funded aid intended to help some of the world's most vulnerable people, found much of it was diverted for personal profit and, in one case, used as leverage for sexual exploitation, raising questions about how well American foreign assistance is monitored.
A Colombian nonprofit that provided aid services to Venezuelan migrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, those with HIV, and others, has been debarred after an investigation revealed the organization’s former president and affiliates allegedly sexually exploited those it was purporting to help. Debarment is a form of penalty used by the agency to suspend funding and involvement with USAID for a period of time.
The debarred nonprofit, FUVADIS, was founded by Luis Meneses, who stands accused of engaging in sexual quid-pro-quos with program participants in exchange for benefits, the United States Agency for International Development, Office of Inspector General (USAID OIG) said in a press release.
Meneses also committed fraud, the OIG said, by diverting donor-provided HIV medications, which were supposed to be free, to sell for his own financial gain. Due to the allegations, at least six organizations that also operated in the region discontinued their professional relationship with FUVADIS.
“The Trump administration is putting an end to sending Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars overseas to sleazy criminal enterprises, which USAID IG continues to expose and bring to justice,” a senior administration official told Just the News.
The OIG referred Meneses for suspension and debarment, which he received. Meneses, FUVADIS, and his brother, Leonardo, received five-year debarments, meaning for that period they can’t receive new federal contracts, grants, or participate in government programs.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES, HIV TEST KITS STOLEN AND THEN SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET
Across the sea, a USAID OIG investigation also led to the debarment of a Kenyan company and Guyanese national for diverting U.S.-funded medical supplies from a Kenyan government-run corporation. An OIG investigation found that between 2015 and 2019, Davendra Rampersaud illegally sold stolen medical supplies from the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). Rampersaud used his own company, Caribbean Medical Supplies, Inc., to sell the stolen goods to the Guyanese government. He and his company also sold HIV test kits from another USAID program.
At the time of the wrongdoing, KEMSA had received $650 million in USAID awards.
“The Vice President’s historic anti-fraud initiatives are netting criminals who steal from public programs at home and abroad,” the Trump administration official told Just the News. “This case is a major win for Attorney General Blanche, Secretary Rubio, and the USAID Inspector General office for crossing oceans to uncover and break up crime rings diverting American foreign assistance.” As a result of the investigation, Rampersaud and his company received three-year debarments from working or contracting with the U.S. government.
Credit where due, VP JD Vance does a bang up job of finding fraud and waste. In this area he is a serious asset to the Trump administration and the nation.
Earlier this month, the OIG announced that it had broken up a larger Kenyan pharmacy scheme involving supplies stolen from KEMSA. That operation was separate from the one involving Rampersaud, and led to two arrests and compelled 11 individuals to report for further investigative or court proceedings. It also closed at least four pharmacies over illegal schemes and violations of regulations.
The USAID OIG suspected that some of the products had been stolen from U.S.-funded foreign assistance and global health programs, Just the News previously reported.
According to The Hill, dozens of House Democrats denounced the Trump administration’s actions towards the USAID in a letter last February. The letter, signed by Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas), Raúl Grijalva (Ariz.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), among others, claimed that “despite long-standing bipartisan support for USAID initiatives that fight violence against women and girls, the proposed elimination of USAID and its funding would roll back years of progress across the globe and violate U.S. law.”
Today’s revelation. Note that they’re coming at the rate of one or more a day.
[JTN] Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed
…more fully Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, though the Egyptian version is probably longer still, he is the child of Moslem Egyptian immigrants, an epidemiologist who graduated from medical school on a Soros scholarship — but has no medical license — and a PhD in public health. He was the VP of his college Muslim Students Association, the youth branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America, then started his political career as a Bernie Bro, joined four national labour unions, pronounces Israel an evil rogue state, and refused to condemn Iran’s slain supreme leader. All in all, he epitomizes the new red-green DSA…
advocated for repealing a Michigan law that made it a felony for someone who knows they have HIV from engaging in sexual intercourse without disclosing their diagnosis to their partner.
The law is reportedly still on the books and it carries a prison sentence of up to four years.
"You should not be criminalized for a disease. That is absolutely wrong. It’s hateful. It’s discriminatory, and we can, as a state, do better. You can count on me for that," El-Sayed said as he ran for governor in 2018, Fox News reported.
Tuberculosis isolation hospitals, Typhoid Mary,...
The alternative is to remove and isolate them from society. Someone has forgotten on how to protect the incident.
El-Sayed has also been criticized this week for declining on Wednesday to explicitly condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and for headlining a fundraiser with Arab-American journalist Osama Siblani, who is outspoken in his support for Hamas and Hezbollah, that same day.
”Pay attention to MEEEEEE!!!!” Trying to court the growing Jew-hating side of the Democratic Party, he won’t go so far as to openly support Hamas, so he leans in to the most murderous member of the PLO, the charming Marwam Barghouti, lodged in Israeli prison with multiple life sentences for his leadership in the Second Intifada.
[IsraelTimes] After acknowledging a possible presidential run, Democrat who represents California speaks out on behalf of prominent imprisoned Fatah terror convict
US Rep. Ro Khanna pressed for releasing imprisoned Paleostinian leader and convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti on Friday, apparently becoming the first US politician to do so.
"I’m calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison," the Democratic politician said in a video statement.
"Paleostinians must choose their own leaders. Barghouti has a unique standing among all Paleostinian factions. He’s seen as non-corrupt, a strong leader and secular. Barghouti could deliver a Paleostinian state living in peace with Israel," he said.
Khanna, a Democrat who represents Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s 17th Congressional District in Silicon Valley, made his remarks on Barghouti after he has acknowledged considering a presidential bid. A Lake Research Partners poll published in May of 2028 Democratic primary voters suggested he’d be a long-shot candidate, where he ranked last.
Last place would be a long shot, yes.
Barghouti, a prominent Fatah figure during the Second Intifada, was convicted by an Israeli court in 2002 on five counts of murder and sentenced to multiple life terms for his role in terror attacks that killed Israeli civilians.
Nevertheless, he is seen by many Paleostinians and some members of the international community as a potential successor to Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....> "Releasing Barghouti does not provide him with a pardon or moral absolution of crimes he may have committed. In fact, a number of human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... groups say he did not even receive a fair trial, but the release is needed to move peace forward — just like Arafat and Rabin worked for peace, despite their pasts," Khanna said, referring to slain former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and late Paleostinian leader Yasser Arafat who negotiated the Oslo Accords.
Back in the day, Israelis still believed the Palestinians honestly wanted peace and their own place in the sun. After 10/7 everyone to the right of Israel’s Antifa understands that as a society the Palestinians want their place in the sun to be everything, and that it be completely saturated in Israeli blood. Perhaps a new generation of Palestinians will be able to persuade the Israelis to trust them, but until then the peace process ain’t proceeding.
The Democratic politician compared the situation to the Irish Troubles, in which the Irish Republican Army, which "did terrible things," eventually was allowed to participate in politics.
Think Nazis, you sad little fool, not IRA.
"If we’re lucky enough to have a just peace in Israel-Paleostine, we will need a truth and reconciliation commission. But for now, we must begin to give Paleostinians a voice in their illusory sovereignty and the grinding of the peace processor. Release Barghouti," he said.
No.
Israel has rejected international pressure to release Barghouti and he was among several high profile Paleostinian prisoners that Israel refuse to free as part of an exchange of Paleostinian security prisoners for Israeli hostages held by terror groups in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... In his last interview with The Times of Israel four years ago, Khanna characterized himself as a "pro-Israel progressive," expressing admiration for the Jewish state’s entrepreneurial prowess. Since then, he’s turned into a prominent Israeli critic in his party.
Running as fast as he can to get in front of the parade.
Khanna has told The Times of Israel that one reason his view of Israel changed, he said, has been the "genocide" in Gaza.
Liar.
Israel vehemently rejects the genocide charges, insisting that it has taken steps to avoid civilian casualties and allow aid into Gaza.
Khanna said the settler violence in the West Bank has also influenced his opinion about Israel.
"After seeing it firsthand, I now view Israel as an occupying power that is engaged in apartheid in the West Bank," said the California congressman.
In July, Khanna said he was detained by IDF-backed settlers for over an hour.
That is also a lie, as blatant as Tucker Carlson pretending to be held by Israeli security at Ben Gurion Airport.
The Israel Defense Forces said troops and coppers intervened after receiving a report of settlers blocking vehicles near Khirbet Zanuta, a small Paleostinian hamlet whose residents were forcibly displaced by violent mostly peaceful settler raids following the 2023 Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... attacks on Israel.
Khanna said he still supports a two-state solution in which Israel can thrive as a secure, Jewish and democratic state,
…that’s nice. How many times have the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular rejected that offer? They’d be happy to add two more Arab countries — it’s the secure Jewish state that’s the sticking point for them. And since the Jews already have their secure Jewish state…
but he said that the first step toward that goal is reining in settlers like the ones who stopped his convoy during a visit to the site of a Paleostinian village depopulated by relentless attacks.
