U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s Thoughts on Canada
Jasmin Laine interviews Pete Hoekstra. The elbows up crowd are incapable of listening to what he has to say. Hopefully you’re different.
About 21 minutes in, Hoekstra politely explains that Canada is not special. Canadians may think they’re more important than everyone else in the world, but they’re merely one nation of many that the Trump Administration are now negotiating with.
IMO most Canadians have severe TDS. This a result of the anti-Trump / anti-American propaganda of the bought-and-paid-for legacy media, plus their own ignorance and arrogance. Throw into the mix an unhealthy dose of PVS (Permanent Victim Syndrome) and it is no surprise that Canadians think the way they do. I equate the Elbows Up Canadians to a diva that walks into a coffee shop or spa and treats everyone working there like third-class humans. Then they go around telling all of their friends what open minded, generous, kind people they are. Denial is much more than just a River in Egypt.

What’s a Chain of Command?!
Pamela Smith, supposedly the Chief of Police of Washington, DC, does not know what Chain of Command means. This DEI hire imbecile should be fired immediately.
Update: Pamela Smith’s job before become Chief of Police was Chief Equity Officer. She excels at word salads like another DEI hire, Kamala Harris.

Somehow, we went from iron-hearted, iron-encased knights crushing pagan skulls with maces and became a civilization that prizes posing and proclaiming our virtue instead of pummeling our opponents into submission. […]
Donald Trump understands how to say “No.” He refuses to play along with a set of norms and guardrails that only we are supposed to observe and whose sole purpose is to prevent us from exercising our power to reject the decline our alleged betters have decreed we deserve. Remember, they can’t make us do anything. They have no guns and no upper body strength.
Related: Incredible to me that left-wingers apparently thought they could spend a decade fomenting various conspiracies to try to throw Trump in jai but that he’d just forget about it if he regained power. Have you met the dude?

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her staff Monday to act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter, Fox News Digital has learned.
Bondi personally ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury, which would allow the department to secure a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News Digital and a source familiar with the investigation.
A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on the report of an investigation but said Bondi is taking the referral from Gabbard “very seriously.” The spokesperson said Bondi believed there is “clear cause for deep concern” and a need for next steps.

Real GDP increased at a 3.0% annual rate in Q2, beating expectations of 2.6%.
The increase was driven by rising consumer spending and net exports. President Trump continues to right-size federal spending, which fell notably in 1H. pic.twitter.com/VzhvmP90ap

The Trump Whisperer Was Unavailable For Comment
Donald Trump has shown up the European Union. He’s revealed that the world’s largest single market is a paper tiger to be kicked around, with basically no leverage or strength to resist American demands.
Telegraph- Trump has just triumphed over the EU
With the tariff deal today between the EU and the US the trade war is effectively over. And yet as the dust settles, one point will surely become clear. Despite all the chaos, this has turned into a triumph for President Trump – and a humiliation for a weakened EU.

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
FTC To Probe Gender-Transitioning Treatment Amid Allegations of Deception
Hosted by the Federal Trade Commission, the event brought together physicians, parents, and federal officials who argued that gender-affirming care for minors constitutes not only medical malpractice, but a coordinated deception of the American public. From the opening remarks of FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson to the emotional testimonies of de-transitioned youth and aggrieved parents, the event framed pediatric gender medicine as a crisis of both ethics and enforcement – one in which vulnerable patients are misled, silenced, and in some cases irreparably harmed.
Now, the agency tasked with protecting consumers is stepping in. Ferguson announced that the FTC is preparing to file a Freedom of Information Act request to investigate whether gender clinics, hospitals, and advocacy organizations may be violating federal law by engaging in deceptive trade practices – including misleading patients and families about the risks, reversibility, and scientific basis of transition-related treatments.
“I am charged with protecting my fellow citizens from deceptive acts no matter how politically charged,” Ferguson said. “This issue is no different from the health claims we’ve addressed for years.”
So Much For Free Trade
National Post- Mark Carney’s Trumpian moment
In “The Art of War,” the Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” By imposing tariffs on Canada’s non-American trade partners, Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking that advice one step further — becoming the enemy he was elected to confront.

Sorry to say, my Liberal friends, but when Donald Trump’s air force has to rescue us over a major Canadian city, because our own Air Force doesn’t really work, that’s about as 51st state-ish as it gets.#ElbowsUp https://t.co/apwlhc5wbq
