These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years.

According to the zoo, one turtle stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies.

The state has two monopolies it must protect whatever the cost: the monopoly on decreeing what is legal tender, and on force.

“We’re entering an era in which push comes to shove will lead to immovable objects encountering irresistible forces. All sorts of verities and vanities will be bulldozed as kicking the can down the road descends into desperation to stave off collapse, a desperation that unleashes second order effects the desperate did not anticipate. The only responses at this late stage are even more desperate, so desperation is self-reinforcing”

Campaign Life Coalition is urging all parliamentarians to back Bill C-218, which would halt the planned expansion of assisted suicide to mentally ill Canadians ahead of the March for Life.

Speaking about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), the term used for legal euthanasia in Canada, CLC’s Director of Political Operations Jack Fonseca said, “The next euthanasia time bomb is set to explode on March 17, 2027, when eligibility will automatically expand to mentally ill patients.”

Xi Jinping rolled out one of the most lavish welcomes Beijing has given in years for Trump- personally touring him through the Temple of Heaven while Chinese state media carefully tried to hide the awkward presence of sanctioned U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

But beneath the grand ceremonies and smiling photos lies a much bigger story. In this video, I break down why Beijing may actually fear Trump far more than it publicly admits, why China’s attempt to “buy goodwill” through hospitality likely won’t work, and how the Xi–Trump meeting may reveal the emergence of a new American empire centered around AI, semiconductors, energy, and dollar dominance.

Most importantly, I explain why Xi quietly aligning with Trump on Iran could signal that China’s dream of challenging American global leadership is beginning to crack.

The “plan” to approve a pipeline, which was detailed by the federal and Alberta governments on Friday, is a perfect example, not of federal-provincial co-operation, but of why Canada can’t build infrastructure. Rather than being subject to market demand, the decision to build or not to build is being driven entirely by politics.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said her government will bring forward a proposal for a new pipeline to the West Coast by July 1, and in return for it being designated a project of “national interest,” the province will raise its industrial carbon tax from $95/tonne to $130/tonne by 2035. While the price of that tax had been a source of tension in the negotiating process, it is possibly the least of the impediments that any new energy project will face.

As outlined in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in the fall between Alberta and Ottawa, any pipeline will be contingent on the development of a massive carbon capture facility, while still being subject to much of the typical — read: project-killing — regulations faced by any other project. Not to mention that it will give anti-energy B.C. Premier David Eby an effective veto.

…the world’s third-largest crude importer saw its wholesale inflation jump to 8.3% in April from a year earlier, significantly accelerating from 3.88% annual inflation in March

The hike amounts to over 3% and was necessitated by the global crude oil price surge that resulted in losses for India’s refiners. Still, New Delhi put off the price hike for much longer than other governments, due to the sensitivity of Indian consumers to such hikes.

The extraordinary, but expected, decision puts Gov. Jared Polis at odds not only with fellow Democrats, but also with many Republicans in Colorado

“She, because of her incorrect and unpopular speech, got an unduly harsh sentence,” Polis said Friday in an interview with The Colorado Sun, adding that he believes her new sentence is still “very harsh.”

“I’m not pardoning her,” he explained. “I publicly have said very early on I would not even consider a pardon. She’s a convicted felon. She deserves to be a convicted felon. She will remain a convicted felon.”

Doing what was right for citizens, telling the truth, exposing fraud and election cheating, defending America — she will be a convicted felon. Disgusting and abhorrent!!

Tens of thousands of barrels spilled, and it’s now piling up along the Persian Gulf coastline!

Where is the left denouncing this? This is going to have horrific impacts on the ecosystem

TRUMP UN AMBASSADOR MIKE WALTZ: “Iran is now attacking the environment in addition to civilian targets, humanitarian aid and civilian shipping.”

After TRASHING America and siding with Iran, German Chancellor Merz just said he’d never “send my children to America, to get educated or work there”

“Because of the social climate that has suddenly developed there.” ?

This FREELOADER keeps attacking America and then expects us to keep subsidizing and shielding his country!

Merz is a joke.

Our “allies” have become SPOILED LEECHES.

As artificial intelligence continues to permeate everyday life, the data centers needed to support the burgeoning technology are popping up across America – many close to residential areas. More than one-third of Americans now live within a few miles of at least one data center.

The developers also said they are working to address residents’ concerns at the planning stage, adding safeguards to reduce water and energy requirements. Meanwhile, grassroots opposition to data centers is gaining momentum going into the 2026 elections.

An estimated $152 billion in potential investment was blocked or delayed in 2025, including $98 billion in the second quarter alone—more than all disruptions combined since 2023 and affecting 20 projects, the research organization’s data show.

A country that tells its citizens their faith belongs only in designated “safe areas” is not protecting pluralism, but actively dismantling it…

If you want a snapshot of how far Britain has drifted from its liberal inheritance, consider the spectacle of a 78 year-old grandfather and retired pastor being warned by police that he must not preach from the Bible within a public area. His offence was not harassment, obstruction or intimidation. It was reciting and commentating on a verse many learned as children: “For God so loved the world…”

Clive Johnston’s alleged crime was breaching a ‘buffer zone’ around a hospital which houses a sexual health clinic where abortions are performed – despite the fact it was a Sunday afternoon when there were no scheduled abortions, and he made no reference whatsoever to abortion, nor motherhood, nor babies.

The state maintains he risked “influencing” anyone accessing the clinic in relation to abortion or anyone working there – a crime punishable by fine. He was prosecuted, and this week found guilty for doing so.

Most of those being monitored were at one time on board the MV Hondius, a cruise ship that experienced an outbreak of the disease after it sailed from Argentina on April 1 to remote locations such as Antarctica. Eighteen people were flown from the ship recently to medical facilities in Nebraska and Georgia for quarantining during the incubation period for the virus, which is up to 42 days.

Some other individuals left the ship before the hantavirus outbreak was detected and are at home in states such as Arizona and California. The third group is composed of people who were exposed to hantavirus during travel because they came close to cruise ship passengers, particularly on planes, Dr. David Fitter, a CDC official,

No mandatory quarantine orders have been imposed as of yet in the United States.

Kansas officials said earlier Thursday that three residents who were not on the Hondius were exposed to a person with hantavirus. Other states, including Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington state, have said residents were possibly exposed on flights.

Does Hantavirus Survive in Human Sperm? The Real Story Behind the Latest Hantavirus Hysteria

A single Swiss man’s semen sample is now headline news on three continents. What’s behind the hysteria? A Gates-funded journalism desk, a biosurveillance firm backed by the CIA’s venture capital arm, and a Swiss biodefense laboratory. And they’re all feeding each other a story that the underlying science doesn’t support.

Slipping “MANDATORY QUARANTINE ORDERS” into the narrative already………….  it’s probably nothing ….. just keeping the public informed …..  surely …. haven’t we seen this before?

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that Tehran has “no trust” in the United States and remains interested in negotiations only if Washington demonstrates seriousness, as talks aimed at ending the war remain stalled. Speaking to Indian media during the second day of the BRICS foreign ministers meeting in New Delhi, Araghchi said military initiatives are ineffective in resolving regional crises

The Iranian foreign minister said one of the main obstacles during negotiations with Washington has been inconsistent messaging from American officials. Araghchi said contradictory statements, interviews and communications from U.S. officials created deep mistrust between the two sides.

“The Strait of Hormuz is not closed to friendly countries. Restrictions are for enemy ships,” he said, although it is unclear why Iran then claims Chinese ships had been blocked until yesterday since China remains Iran’s largest, if not only, oil export client. “In recent days, many vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz with the assistance of our naval forces, and this process will continue,” he added.

He also reiterated Tehran’s position that Iran acted within its right to self-defense following the outbreak of the conflict.

The current bottleneck for the UAE is that ADNOC’s pipeline can handle only about half of its normal export volumes, limiting revenues and proving particularly troubling for the Gulf producer, whose oil-related activity accounted for 22.7% of GDP in Q1 2025. The urgency to divert flows, or in fact rewire energy flows, will be a top priority for other Gulf producers because oil still matters heavily for public finances and their billionaires.

U.S. and Chinese leaders agreed to establish a new “Board of Trade” and a parallel “Board of Investment” during President Donald Trump’s two-day visit to Beijing – a summit that ended much as it began: with significant pageantry, warm personal rapport between the leaders, and modest, incremental progress on trade. The new boards aim to oversee bilateral purchases, manage trade differences, facilitate deals in non-sensitive sectors (with roughly $30 billion in goods identified), and provide a standing channel to prevent future escalations without constant high-level intervention.

Overall Assessment: The summit went a long way in stabilizing ties through new dialogue mechanisms and modest commercial wins rather than grand bargains. Trump returned with a few modest wins he can highlight domestically ahead of midterms – though the whole ‘Chinese students and farms’ might be a tough pitch to MAGA, while Xi secured a narrative of strategic predictability and time for China to address its economic challenges.

Greetings Goldtent. I have been going over the state of silver this evening and after a long look at the weekly chart I saw what I was looking for to use as guidance on the coming reversal. I hope you will find this chart as helpful as I have as it pretty much sums up my sentiments from early yesterday where I warned a sudden drop was about to take place. And indeed we got that drop right on cue. Silver dropped from 87 to 81 over the course of the day and even now threatens to go lower still.

In this chart however it is easy to imagine price running right back up again so it differs somewhat from my other work. Needless to say I like it. As long as we stay more or less within the lines and the symmetry of the chart is not broken then we can look forward to early July as liftoff for metals and miners. That should be a relief to all of us, some of whom are a touch stressed by the slow evolution of the pattern and expected reversal. Just keep an eye on the lines of support and resistance and use that as your guide to what is happening today. As long as price doesn’t stray too far outside the boundaries then everything will be just fine.

Nasiri claims the network generated enormous sums of money. Citing what he described as a reliable source, he estimated the operation brought in roughly $32 billion annually.

According to his claim, around $16 billion went to Khamenei, while another $16 billion was directed toward the Quds Force.

After two failed assassination plots against President Trump tied to IRGC-linked operatives, the Islamic Republic is now preparing legislation offering a €50 million reward to any person or entity that kills him.

The proposal was announced by Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, who said lawmakers are drafting legislation offering the reward to any person or entity that kills Donald Trump. According to the reports, the bill is framed as “reciprocal action” and retaliation tied to the killing of Qasem Soleimani and the ongoing conflict.

Several of Iran’s core pressure points are weakening fast: (as follows ……….)

Xi called China-U.S. relations the “world’s most important relationship,” which shows the Islamic Republic’s leverage, partnerships, and bargaining power are far weaker than it believed.

ACCORDING TO SCOTT BESSENT

SCOTT BESSENT SAYS THE OIL IS FULL

Kharg Island is SCREWED.

Operation Economic Fury is going all according to plan!

“Now the Iranians are choking on their own oil!”

BESSENT: “Kharg Island — we’ve seen that there have been NO loadings in the past 3 DAYS. We believe their storage is full. None of the ships are getting out. None are coming in, so they’re not able to store oil on the water. So they’re going to start shutting down their production.”

WATTERS: “The regime’s getting desperate. Kuwait says they arrested four Guard guys who tried to sneak into their country.”

“And they’re still causing trouble in the strait. The Brits said one of their ships was seized. And an Indian vessel carrying goats reportedly sank after getting hit with a drone.”

“But traffic’s actually up. Cargo ships are turning off their radar to sail through dark. At least 18 ships made it out this week.”

“Some from Japan, some from India, and our wall of steel’s holding strong. 70 cargo ships were turned around. 90 percent of Iran’s sea mines destroyed.”

“And their mosquitoes, they’re getting swatted.”

“They went from swarming the strait to hiding in the shadows.”

“We know everything they’ve done. They built it up a little bit. We’ll take it out in one day. It’ll all be gone.”

“You know, they had a little respite. And so they’re trying to get a few things together.”

“It’ll all be gone in one day. Everything they’ve done for the last four weeks will be gone in one day.”

“New Yorkers are already the most heavily taxed residents in the country, and the city’s budget issues will not be solved by more taxes”

However, since communists who are not redistributing wealth (eventually under the barrel of a gun) are useless communists, it only took Mamdani administration 48 hours before pitching his latest idea how to take: according to Bloomberg, New York lawmakers are planning a new tax on New York City homes purchased in cash for at least $1 million.  The lawmakers are also considering expanding the tax to all-cash purchases over $1 million in New York, including those in the suburbs and upstate.

The New York City levy alone is expected to raise $160 million to help fill the city’s budget hole. The proposed tax would be levied at 1% of the purchase price and would be paid by the buyer, according to the people.

“Raman will drop out and Bass will surge, and in order for Pratt to make it beyond June 2, Bass needs to stay under 50%. “
