What Trump wanted was a point of origin labelling for manufactured products, so that other countries could not bypass their own trade deals and use Canada's very favourable standings to get their prouducts into the States at a discount and have Canadians make money. The fact that Carney, Ford, and the Quebec Pm, all objected to this tells me that it is highly probable that they were doing this very thing already. Import China Steel and melt it down and recast it and label it Canadian. IMO, Trump should give them a single warning that he will release all the...

WASHINGTON — Chinese state-sponsored hackers infiltrated US government computer networks ranging from NASA to the US Senate before having web domains linked to their malicious cyber group shut down by the feds.

Since 2018, an FBI special agent wrote in the affidavit, QTFY had succeeded in breaching networks at NASA, NIH, the DOJ, the Department of Health and Human Services, three Department...

The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and three other terrorists being held in Guantánamo Bay will finally stand trial in 2028, a military judge ruled Wednesday. The ruling from Lt. Col. Michael Schrama came just two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the world-altering attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the head plotter, and three of his alleged co-conspirators have been held at the Cuba military base since 2003 in the long-delayed case.

A 14-year-old Georgia girl murdered her mom — shooting her in the back of the head when she was in bed — after chickening out of a planned school shooting “inspired” by mass killers. Lilyana Wagner’s cold-blooded killing of mom Rachel Wagner, 51, was discovered after she crashed her mom’s car in Tinton in November 2024 — and was found with the center of her hair shaved off, it emerged Monday as the now-16-year-old killer was sentenced to life in prison. After the crash, cops tried calling the mom, who did not answer and had not turned up at work...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama, a seasonal resident of Edgartown, drew enthusiastic crowds that filled the 791-seat Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center twice on Sunday, for a pair of onstage talks with journalist and fellow summer Islander Michele Norris. Discussing her new book The Look, Ms. Obama recalled the fierce media spotlight that was aimed at her clothing choices, and her body itself, during her husband Barack Obama’s campaigns and presidency. “It wouldn’t matter what the content of the speech was. The way the press often covered it was, ‘She was wearing X, Y, Z. Her arms looked like this,’”...

LANSING, MI — During a live interview on Fox News, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed forcefully defended the beheading of infidels, explaining it was really the same thing as a haircut. "Have you had a haircut, Jesse?" retorted El-Sayed, upon being asked whether he supported cutting off people's heads with a machete. "Clearly you have no problem with people using sharp objects to cut off parts of your head. Yet, because of your bigotry, you want to deny infidels the opportunity to have their heads cut off with a machete. Your disgusting hypocrisy could not be more apparent." Watters tried...

A gay men STD screening may require more than a basic urine test. Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can hide in the throat or rectum. You could test negative on a standard screen while an infection remains untreated. Urine testing can detect some infections, but it does not always check the throat or rectum. Sexual activity can expose different areas to STIs. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can affect the throat or rectum.

The Michigan Democratic Senate nominee compared circumcision to “gender transition” surgery for minors and stood by his call to abolish ICE during a wide-ranging appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed clashed with Fox News host Jesse Watters in an Aug. 24 interview over a slew of topics, including “gender transition” medical interventions for minors, immigration enforcement, Sharia law, taxes on the wealthy, and the Iran war. El-Sayed, a progressive who defeated the establishment favorite in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Aug. 4, is facing Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in November in one of...

In a Nutshell * An oral compound called TOFA caused significant weight and fat loss in obese mice without reducing food intake or causing muscle loss, setting it apart from current obesity drugs. * TOFA worked by boosting how much energy cells burn, rather than suppressing appetite, and it also improved blood sugar, harmful blood fats, and fatty liver disease. * When combined with semaglutide or tirzepatide, TOFA outperformed either drug alone, and animals maintained their weight loss longer after TOFA treatment ended compared to semaglutide. ============================================================================================== Millions of Americans struggling with obesity have placed their hopes in a new...

Indira Talwani (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee) It’s official. Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the same Boston activist who spent the last two months trying to kill President Trump’s mail-in ballot security order, has now been forced to lift her nationwide injunction. The Justice Department asked her to reconsider after the Supreme Court slapped down her other block on Monday. On Wednesday she folded. In a nine-page order, Talwani conceded that, after Trump v. California, the League of Women Voters plaintiffs are “not likely to prevail as to ripeness” unless they rewrite their complaint now that the Postal Service has...

Explanation: Are we looking at the future of our Sun? The James Webb Space Telescope captured today’s composite image of the Lion’s Head Nebula (NGC 2392) with its NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The Lion’s Head Nebula is the remnant of a Sun-like star. This star was unable to sustain the nuclear fusion in its core needed to remain stable. It began to shed layers of gas and dust into space, forming this planetary nebula. A hot stellar core, called a white dwarf, is left behind within the lion’s nose. Do not boop this nose! Intense radiation from the white dwarf...

This story is insane... Kimya Holmeso, a Democrat Judge, is running for re-election in Louisiana. Her former fiancé, Arthur Allen, was charged with stealing over $712,000 in COVID relief funds. During their time together, Allen reportedly gifted Holmes a $765,000 house, a diamond ring, and a Corvette. Holmes is now claiming that she "didn't know" he was charged with a felony until he pleaded guilty. She has since broken off the engagement. She continues to live in the same house he gifted to her.

The New Axis of Evil is all-in on saving its mail ballot fraud. Chief Justice must act quickly and decidedly leaving no room for ambiguity. The lawsuit brought by all Democrat/communist/Muslem states signals the end of their hiding the New Axis of Evil which is Democrats, communists, and Muslims. THIS the New Axis of Evil at its most fearsome. They are trapped animals that will do anything they can think of to get and hold power. Truth and loyalty to America mean nothing to our vicious domestic enemies. The New Axis of Evil hates God, hates America, hates us, and...
