Bullet, Meet Foot

Warmington;

If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial. […]

Just steps from where the March 10 shooting occurred, Jabbi strolled into the courtroom to face the Crown’s office challenging his July 7 strict conditions bail release. Later in the day, he walked right out those doors free of shackles or handcuffs and on release after a judge dismissed the attempt to keep him incarcerated. The judge also implemented a publication ban that does not allow reporting of the reasons.

Incidentally, he’s also linked to the murder of Toronto Police Const. Marc Pinizzotto in June, so there’s that.

‘WTF’ commented one account, apparently dumbfounded.

Sorry Antifa, these are the new rules.

In a recent post (seen below) circulating widely on Instagram, Antifa and anarchist accounts appear to admit that Plan R* was never intended for the full legal force of the U.S. government’s sanctions regime.

It notes that the sanctions schema targets not the digital infrastructure but “The world around it” preventing the collective from banking, accepting donations, purchasing domains, or acquiring bandwidth. It goes on to warn U.S.-based supporters against attempting to circumvent sanctions without qualified legal advice, providing a list of “dos and don’ts” including “Do Not: Improvise donations, reroute funds, disguise payments, access private data, promise direct services, guess at sanctions law.”

Indeed, U.S. persons are prohibited from either receiving or providing any services to or from A/I Collective at all. That means hundreds of violent far-left actors in the United States may be scrambling to find new digital homes, or else face potential criminal investigation and liability.

There seems to be some surprise within the Antifa/Anarchist networks that the Trump administration has been successful in landing a genuine blow. After decades of hiding behind the legal fiction that “Antifa doesn’t exist,” the idea that the government might successfully target not just a handful of individual anarchists but elements of the network apparatus upon which they rely seems to have come as something of a shock.

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

Juno News:

CBC reversed its 9/11 language guidance Friday, allowing journalists to describe the attacks as terrorism without attribution after the leaked directive sparked widespread backlash.

The change came amid criticism from FBI Director Kash Patel, who threatened ties with Canadian agencies that refused to reject the policy, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre demanded CBC retract it and apologize.

CBC said the change applies specifically to 9/11, while its broader attribution policy for other acts of politically or ideologically motivated violence remains intact.

This is the state broadcaster. Patel should follow through.

A day after the federal government unveiled its new retaliatory measures against the US amid the trade war, NDP Leader Avi Lewis is calling on the Liberals to tax energy and critical mineral exports to the US.

There has been growing momentum across the political spectrum behind the idea of using Canadian exports as leverage in the dispute. In recent days, several politicians including Jean Chrétien, Jason Kenney, and David Eby have called on the Carney government to impose or consider imposing an export tax as an option for responding to US tariffs.

The Trump administration is in talks with Venezuela’s interim government about taking an ownership stake in the South American country’s enormous oil resources, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world’s largest proven reserves.

Do tell.

NYT Killed A Story That Exposed How Democratic Spam PACs Drain Elderly Donors

1% of Democratic donors – approximately 138,000 donors with an average age of 75 – are responsible for more than 49% of $1.4 billion raised by “spam PACs” since 2017.

These are actual cases of senior citizens being taken advantage of by Democratic spam PACs, all while consultants rake in millions. For example, an 85-year-old retired man from Oxford, Ohio sent out 7,800 donations to Democratic groups totaling $648,000 in value. That is more than double the value of his home. An elderly woman from an assisted living center in Indianapolis made 25,000 donations totaling $250,000 in value. The money she was spending on these donations was for her own care. A 93-year-old man was charged 4,208 times over the course of four months for Democratic groups, an average of 31 times per day. That came out to $32,742.

This Is CNN

Layers of fact checkers.

CNN was forced to apologize to Dolly Parton’s family for mistakenly using a photo of a Las Vegas impersonator of the country music legend while reporting on her death.

The cable news network aired an image of tribute artist Kelly Vohnn as it covered Parton’s Tuesday death from cancer — leaving the 58-year-old Vohnn stunned as friends began bombarding her with messages.

The errant image were broadcast during “Laura Coates Live” some 12 hours after Parton’s death was announced by her family.

‘Shocking’ study shows link between transgender ideology and left-wing violence

Trump administration-funded researchers and independent collaborators found a startling correlation between proponents of a transgender ideology and left-wing violence, according to a new report obtained by The Post and set to be released Wednesday.

The new study from researchers at Rutgers University, the right-leaning Manhattan Institute and Network Contagion Research Institute found that those normalizing transgender beliefs were more likely to be supportive of political violence.

Respondents were quizzed about six potential targets of political violence for the study: “killing Charlie Kirk, killing Donald Trump, killing Brian Thompson, arson of ICE buildings, damaging wealthy people’s property, and violence against police.”

Just everyone who was paying attention: Who would have thought that an American far-left radical terrorist group would make common cause with Islamic terror groups, when the two groups’ agendas seem so misaligned?

They’re not misaligned.

“Ms. Christine Li (National Executive, Chinese Canadian National Council): I’m Christine Li, and I will be presenting on behalf of the Chinese Canadian National Council.”

“This is my colleague, Apollo Cheung.”

@scoopercooper: Public records on Apollo Chung (also known as Paul Chung) contain no detailed information about his childhood, family background, schooling, or early adulthood. Available reporting and official listings begin with his work as a political staffer in the early 2020s.

More on the mess.

O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas

Hear my prayer.

California was ground zero for the Biden-era migrant wave. The state saw an enormous number of people cross its border, including more than 400,000 illegal immigrants between 2021 and 2023 alone. Under Newsom’s leadership, the nation’s largest “sanctuary” state granted hundreds of millions of dollars to nonprofits that have encouraged the flow of humanity across the border, variously providing migrants with transportation, shelter, social services, and legal protection.

The expenditures have been enormous. According to our review of state funding records, since Newsom took office, California has granted massive contracts for migrant-related services: more than $250 million to Catholic Charities; $85 million to Jewish Family Services; $12 million to Centro Legal de la Raza; $23 million to the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area; and more.[…]

Other groups focus on ideological subpopulations. Oasis Legal Services, another taxpayer-funded group, has worked on helping “queer and trans immigrants navigate immigration relief and benefits.” In a recent report, the group boasted that “the odds of winning an asylum case go up to 99% for clients when they are represented by an Oasis team member.” (The group denies that it encourages the entry of immigrants.)

Adam Ryan Chang, Oasis’s executive director, believes that “homosexual audacity” is his “superpower,” and he has framed his work with the nonprofit as part of a broader left-wing campaign of “liberating” the “LGBTQ+ community.” In a recent annual report, the group highlighted its work of apparently representing migrants with a sexually transmitted disease. In 2024, the report said, “one in six of new clients is living with HIV and the rest are all at significant risk of contracting HIV.” In 2025, the proportion increased to one in five.
