News Analysis The U.S.–Canada trade talks broke down on Aug. 21. Although both sides hold completely different views, they agreed on two common dealbreakers: bilateral coordination on Canada’s future trade deals with third countries and how deep tariff-rate cuts should go across sectors like autos, steel, and aluminum.A third, exempting U.S. companies from having to feature French-language content on streaming platforms, was resolved on Aug. 27 when the United States dropped the demand.Analysts say both sides share one other thing: the China factor, which neither names but looms over both positions.Neither the Canadian Prime Minister Carney nor U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson…

The media is blasting MAGAs for canceling Jelly Roll after he spent days hosting Jimmy Kimmel, getting laughs by calling President Trump fat. He said he was too fat to see his penis. He is pro-open borders now. On the last day, after people fled, he cried because the MAGAS felt betrayed. The moral of the story is that it’s a bad idea to betray people. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. He saw bigger fish he wanted to fry and lost the people who actually liked his music, which was based on those values he appeared to abandon.…
Corey is a recovering bartender, and a freelance editor. He specializes in memoirs and novels but has a smorgasbord of experience in non-fiction works. In a former life, he ghostwrote several romance novels, which he denies. A cabin far away from sirens and motorcycles would be his ideal home. Instead, he lives near a construction site in New Hampshire.
The Trump administration announced, delayed, and then enacted 50 percent tariffs in August against an estimated $20 billion worth of goods coming from Canada, citing Section 338 as its authority for doing so.The White House said on its website that “Canada has been ripping off the United States for decades—and President Donald J. Trump is done letting them get away with it.”Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Aug. 22, “We are walking away from a bad deal.”Carney pledged that his nation would “match Washington’s new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses.”Here’s…
LADERA RANCH, Calif.—In 2019, Kara Bell began firing off a series of emails to her homeowners association, hoping to find out what kind of herbicides gardeners were using on the many sports fields, pocket parks, and schools that pepper the hillside community of Ladera Ranch, a private enclave in the southeastern corner of unincorporated Orange County.Like many residents, Bell was drawn to the safety and family amenities in this master-planned community, which sits just above an arroyo on historic ranchland in Southern California.“We loved it. Everything was great. It’s an amazing community,” she told The Epoch Times.Walking her son to…
New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver will likely face a trial on charges that she assaulted an ICE agent during a scuffle outside of Delaney Hall after a federal appeals court rejected the Newark Democrat’s bid to dismiss the charges.In a 2-1 ruling, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals said McIver is not immune from prosecution on assault charges stemming from the June incident and rejected her claim that the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause prevents lawmakers from being charged for carrying out their legislative duties. In a 49-page split decision on Wednesday the panel said the case could move ahead…
X said it has uncovered a Chinese bot farm of approximately 200,000 inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations.The platform’s Safety team said in an Aug. 27 statement that about 200 accounts within the newly identified network had posted material aimed at influencing U.S. debate over artificial intelligence and energy policy. X did not say how the rest of the roughly 200,000 accounts were being used.Other technology companies and U.S. authorities have separately documented Chinese influence operations involving tens or hundreds of thousands of fake, coordinated, or repurposed accounts, including networks tied to Chinese state actors and law enforcement.Twitter, which was…
It’s the end of August, so National “Public” Radio felt the need to drag out the old Democrat spin: “Whatever happened to Obama’s tan suit?” On Friday’s All Things Considered, they had to spend eight minutes considering that Obama-hating Republicans created a phony scandal over a fashion faux pas. That wasn’t all. They also made Obama’s “infamous” tan suit the top story in their Saturday edition of their podcast Consider This. Co-host Adrian Florido set the silly stage: ADRIAN FLORIDO: On CNN, then-Representative Peter King, a Republican, took issue with the fact that President Obama was speaking to the press…
Jonathan Capehart can’t kick his obsession with President Trump’s “mental acuity.” Last week, we caught The Weekend co-host devoting a segment to this subject. This from the guy who left on the cutting room floor the most newsworthy moment from his 2022 interview of Biden, when he zoned out, and Capehart had to nudge him back with a “Mr. President?” Capehart was back at it on Saturday’s episode of the show. He declared that he “won’t let the president focus on the things he’s focusing on [renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America, the ballroom, etc.] and not remind people that we…

By Michael Guillén, Op-ed contributor Sunday, August 30, 2026 | Joel Saget/AFP via Getty ImagesThe latest studies of AI and American Christians reveal a seeming contradiction. While 66% of Christians say AI improves their daily lives, a whopping 57% of them see AI as primarily a threat.Christians appreciate AI’s practical skills such as bookkeeping, scheduling, and researching. But they see AI as godless and therefore an enemy of Christianity, God, and the Bible. It’s like buying tasty baked goods from someone you wouldn’t trust to babysit your kids.This understandable dichotomy also explains why 61% of American Protestants — and more…
By Joseph Mattera, Op-ed Contributor Sunday, August 30, 2026iStock/artplusAt its core, Christianity is an invitation to enter an entirely different Kingdom — one whose values, priorities, and operating system are often diametrically opposed to the spirit of this world.The Kingdom of God is an inverted Kingdom.This is one reason Christianity is so difficult for the natural mind to understand and why authentic discipleship is so challenging. The following are 12 paradoxes of the Christian faith.1. We find strength in weaknessThe world teaches us to hide our weaknesses and project strength. The Kingdom teaches us that surrendered weakness can become the platform for…

Kylie Jenner says she doesn’t “feel the need to say anything ever” about persistent pregnancy rumors, the latest example of a celebrity culture where speculation runs far ahead of facts.The makeup mogul addressed the swirling gossip during the Wednesday, August 26, episode of the “Better Half” podcast, telling listeners she has no interest in responding to chatter about whether she is expecting again. Jenner shares two children with ex Travis Scott and has been dating Timothée Chalamet since 2023. Neither relationship detail stopped the rumor mill from churning, and Jenner’s partial denial, delivered casually on a podcast rather than through…
The Trump administration filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to decide whether its ban on transgender military service members passes constitutional muster, setting up a major clash over who controls military personnel standards.Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the petition on Friday, seeking to overturn a divided D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that barred the Pentagon from enforcing the ban against transgender service members who had challenged the policy in court. Sauer called the appellate decision “gravely erroneous” and framed the dispute as one touching the core authority of the commander in chief over the armed forces, SCOTUSblog…
Country star Jelly Roll doubled down on jokes he made about President Trump during a guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, telling fans who threatened to stop listening to his music to “go right ahead.”The musician spent part of his opening monologue mocking Trump’s appearance at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, an IndyCar race that ran through the streets of Washington, D.C., over the weekend. Jelly Roll zeroed in on a moment in which the president waved a flag at the event, telling the late-night audience that Trump “apparently has never held a flag before.” He called the flag-waving “a…
A 50-year-old man now faces two counts of murder after prosecutors say he was street racing at 117 mph in Victorville, California, when he slammed into a car carrying two teenage best friends, then fled and left his own 8-year-old child behind.The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office charged Terry Lamar Easter with two counts of murder, willful cruelty to a child, and engaging in a motor vehicle speed contest in connection with the August 14 crash that killed Maddalyn Dailey and Isabell Hill, both seniors at Sultana High School. Easter, who also goes by the alias “Capone,” lived in…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, the latest in a growing pattern of personnel moves that have left the service without a Senate-confirmed chief of staff for months.A U.S. official told The Hill on Friday that some of the blocked officers have links to Gen. Randy George, the former Army chief of staff whom Hegseth removed in early April, and Gen. Chris Donahue, the former commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa whom Hegseth ousted in June. The four officers had been selected for one-star rank but will not advance. The names of…
A federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that Rep. LaMonica McIver cannot use congressional immunity to escape criminal charges for allegedly assaulting federal officers outside a Newark ICE detention facility, a decision that could send the New Jersey Democrat to trial facing up to 17 years in prison.The Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday declined to dismiss two of three counts against McIver, finding that her alleged physical actions during a May 9, 2025 confrontation at the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility were “non-legislative” and therefore not shielded by the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause. The court sent a third,…
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration awarded a massive new contract to an online grocery company that has stiffed dozens of independent New York City supermarkets on payments, and the city claims it had no idea.The city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recently gave Mercato, a San Diego-based online grocery platform, a six-year, $75 million contract to run the publicly funded “Groceries to Go” program, even as the company owes more than $1 million to independent grocers across the five boroughs for produce delivered months ago, the New York Post reported.

A retiring Democratic congressman from Maine broke with his party to support President Trump’s escalating tariff campaign against Canada, warning that Ottawa’s refusal to accept American goods will backfire in the long run.Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat representing Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, told The Hill in an interview published Thursday that Canada is making a strategic mistake by rejecting U.S. trade terms.

Officials struggled for years to curb high-speed crashes along a residential corridor cutting through Albuquerque, New Mexico, but simply punishing the lead-footed drivers didn’t seem to work.What ultimately did was rewarding the law-abiding ones with fewer red lights.The solution, which the city credits for a dramatic drop in crashes and injuries along one busy stretch of road, is a relatively novel version of a longstanding traffic safety concept commonly known as “rest in red,” in which traffic signals default to red until a vehicle approaches. But Albuquerque and Portland, Oregon, took it a step further by adding speed sensors that…

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is defending Washington’s recent intervention to support Japan’s yen, warning that a disorderly decline in the currency could have consequences far beyond Japan.In a letter responding to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bessent said sharp moves in the yen could trigger “forced unwinds” of financial positions, potentially destabilizing global markets and pushing up borrowing costs for U.S. households and businesses. “Disorderly yen markets can trigger forced unwinds, which could destabilize global markets and ultimately raise borrowing costs for American families and businesses,” he wrote in the letter sent on Thursday, according to Reuters.
After cattle country stresses over President Donald Trump’s plan to flood the market with cheaper foreign ground-beef trimmings, the 47th president posted that four giant processors have made life “miserable” for American ranchers and that he is authorizing farmers to process their own food if desired or necessary. “Trump wants to remove some of the red tape and costs associated with setting up USDA inspected facilities for small producers or areas of the country that don’t have USDA processors to be able to sell their protein to consumers in a legal way,” grazier Derek Lange told Just The News last week. …
Climatologist Judith Curry announced earlier this year she would no longer maintain her influential “Climate Etc.” blog. “Climate stupidity” had lost, and it was time to move on, Curry, who has a doctorate in geophysical sciences, wrote in a final entry, While the issue of whether climate change is indeed real, or to what extent it is, remains open to debate. Meanwhile, the news media has retreated from its previous focus on climate stories. Studies show coverage of climate change has declined in frequency, and news organizations such as The Washington Post and NPR, have significantly downsized their climate desk. Some outlets,…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. This weekend on his HBO show, Bill Maher talked about Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, but in a refreshing change, he didn’t make fun of Trump, he ridiculed the liberal outrage over the change.

Bill Maher has not forgotten any of that, apparently. RedState has details: Liberals are all atwitter over President Donald Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Now,…

Consider this a preview of how his city-owned grocery stores will operate. Of course, the mayor has no choice but to try to make this work. He campaigned on this program, among others. Also, it’s important to point out that this news about the problems with the childcare program is not being reported by conservative media, it’s the liberal New York Times.

Screencap of YouTube video. This weekend on the Bill Maher show, Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for governor of Florida, absolutely mopped the floor with MSNOW contributor Molly Jong-Fast. She tried to set him up on a question about vaccinations, and was clearly trying to portray Donalds as some sort of loon, but his reponse to her was so perfect and intelligent that she ended up looking like a complete moron. Donalds even got applause from Maher’s liberal audience. Transcript via the Vigilant Fox: MOLLY JONG-FAST: “You’ve had to say some stuff. Like last week on Margaret Brennan’s show, you…
California Democrats have been frantically fighting against voter ID. Why? Well because, according to them, asking people to show their ID, the way they would when… entering a government building buying cough syrup or driving a car … is voter suppression. So despite total control over elections, the one-party political machine rigged Proposition 39, which calls for Voter ID, by giving it a negative title, and Secretary of State Shirley Webber insists that ‘elections are under attack’, urges everyone to vote early and insists there’s no possible reason for voter ID. Weber told Baker and the audience that she does…

The swarms of Moroccans, who were encouraged to invade the Spanish town of Cueta in Northern Africa, never went home. The AP said they went home, and the legacy media said they all went home, but they didn’t. Many are still in Cueta, causing a lot of problems. The natives have had enough. They marched into a migrant camp on the beach and torched it. I’m not condoning torching camps, but one can understand the frustration. The police obviously understand. They stood down during the torching. The Spaniards weren’t there to hurt anyone, and they were all ages and genders.…
An Obama-appointed federal judge in Alaska delivered a major legal victory to President Donald Trump this week, dismissing a lawsuit brought by a coalition of powerful environmental organizations seeking to block Trump’s reversal of Joe Biden’s sweeping offshore drilling restrictions. U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Gleason dismissed the complaint on Monday, August 24, after determining that the environmental groups failed to establish a substantial risk of imminent harm.

The Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group released a bombshell report detailing how the Biden-era FBI expanded an investigation of one dangerous criminal suspect into a disturbing intelligence operation targeting Catholic priests, traditional Catholic churches and constitutionally protected religious beliefs. The 231-page Richmond Domain Perspective Report concludes that personnel responsible for the disgraceful intelligence product have now been removed. “The FBI personnel involved in the creation of the Richmond Catholic Memo have been terminated from their positions,” the report states. The Justice Department did not publicly identify the terminated personnel. The DOJ announced Thursday that investigators reviewed more than 1,800 pages…
