Kill The Kangaroo

Via Legal Insurrection, Secretary Marco Rubio

Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the [International Criminal Court]. Both parties agree on this, but only President Trump has the resolve to take the action needed to end this threat for good. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court.

If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, brick by brick, until Americans are threatened no longer.

Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning the ICC.

ABC News deleted a report criticizing the business dealings of President Donald Trump’s oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, Thursday after facing legal threats but has failed to provide any explanation or editor’s note for the vanished “hit piece.”

The now-deleted report, which can still be viewed via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, was published Wednesday with the headline, “Trump sons’ investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election,” and said Anduril, the company investing in a new Baltimore shipyard, had ties to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

“1789 Capital — a venture capital firm that lists Donald Trump Jr. as one of six partners along with three founders — claimed a major stake in Anduril in June 2025 from a $2.5 billion investment into the company,” ABC News reported in the deleted story.

Canadians Karens – 2026 Edition

Think back to 2020-2022, when there were countless examples of “Karens” (male & female) enforcing The Current Narrative™ demanded by Trudeau & co. Now, in 2026, we’re seeing the same sort of people trying to enforce on their fellow Canadians what they’re allowed to buy and what their political views must be. Even Joseph Goebbels couldn’t have dreamed that propaganda could be so easily foisted on a large swath of a population.

Elbows Flapping

Bloomberg;

Canada’s economy shed a net 68,300 jobs in September and the unemployment rate edged up, data showed on Friday, erasing all the employment gains recorded earlier this year.

The unexpected drop follows a decline of 41,700 jobs in August, Statistics Canada said. The unemployment level in September inched up to 6.5 per cent from 6.4 per cent in August.

September was the first full month after a new round of U.S. tariffs took effect against Canada. However, the largest job losses were in the public sector, particularly health care, social assistance and education, as the government cut international student permits.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast an increase of 9,200 jobs and an unemployment rate of 6.5 per cent.

Foreign Around, Find Out

CNBC;

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

If only Canadian Conservatives possessed this level of clarity: “You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants.”

Montgomery County 2026

As most here have become accustomed to, I depart from these pages for a couple of weeks in late September-October for a show circuit that begins in Michigan and concludes with the American National Specialty in Pennsylvania, held in conjunction with the storied Montgomery County Kennel Club — best described as the “Kentucky Derby” of Terriers.

2026 also marked the 100th anniversary of the Miniature Schnauzer’s official breed recognition with the American Kennel Club.

We’ve done pretty well there over the years, and 2026 was no exception.

The morning began with my puppy “Ace” (Minuteman Over The Target) finishing his Championship title by taking the male points, and ended with  Am&CanGCH Minuteman Sea The Stars  (Sailor) winning Best of Breed at the American Miniature Schnauzer Club National Specialty – our third such win at Montgomery since his great-great grandmother won in 2012.

I returned home on Wednesday morning, and for the most part have been unloading, cleaning and resting from two weeks of 4:30am mornings and a pair of 18 hour driving days. Thanks, as always, to Robert, OJ, Brian, Dennis and David who step up to keep the site rolling while I’m “off the grid” and to our readers for your patience with my crazy hobby.
