The leader of the Progressive ‘Conservative‘ Party of Ontario (I don’t think it means what they think it means…) is at it again. Doug Ford, the PM of the Canadian Province of Ontario, has made a habit of barking loudly, only to back down when push comes to shove. History, therefore, would argue not to attribute too much weight to Ford’s words in that respect. But when a legitimate political leader on America’s border starts talking about hurting Americans intentionally — that should be taken seriously. And if you’ll stick with me… I’ll lay out my case as to why I think President Trump is doing just that.  Not for some chest-beating competition, and not even just over the critically important issues of border security and trade deficits. I think President Trump recognizes what is happening in Canada, right on our border, and how dangerous it will be if he doesn’t fix the once strong strategic alliance between Canada and the United States. If you’ll recall, Ford gets his panties all in a bunch anytime President Trump starts applying pressure, or talking trade and tariffs.  (Ewww… but I’m leaving that in the story, because he deserves it.) The Prime Minister of Ontario is so classy that he recently threatened to cut off the flow of electricity to multiple U.S. states in retaliation for President Trump’s tariffs. Logic would argue that it would be much simpler (and ethical) to respond to the reasonable border and trade issues that President Trump was trying to highlight with that economic leverage. But as with most Progressive mindsets, the emotional explosiveness of a situation often proves irresistible for the purpose of causing dissension among a populace, whereas LOGIC would mean admitting you’re wrong far too often. At any rate, Ford is at it again.  And my gut tells me that President Trump is not likely to let this latest threat go as easily as he did the last time with an additional 25% slapped on top of the previous 25% tariff! Here’s a clip of Ontario’s PM and his latest sassy comments about wanting to hurt Americans: WOW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he wants to “inflict as much pain as possible” on Americans Now he’s f***ed around, and Trump’s going to make sure he finds out. pic.twitter.com/nbLgcM0o7b — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) March 27, 2025 Somehow, I don’t see President Trump taking those words lightly. Again — wouldn’t it be so much easier and appropriate to simply respond to the trade imbalance and border issues that President Trump is attempting to force with his tariffs… rather than try to win an unwinnable trade war with the United States? Then again, that Progressive mindset has to be taken in to account.  And just because they slap that ‘conservative’ label after it in their party’s name apparently doesn’t shift things towards the side of logic. Ford also has plans to engage with other Canadian leaders to coordinate a response, including Justin Trudeau’s replacement Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he’s in full support of retaliatory tariffs after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 25 per cent tariff Wednesday on cross-border auto trade. “We’re going to make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the American people without inflicting pain on the Canadian population,” Ford said at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. Ford said he’s looking to speak with other premiers early next week to discuss the new round of tariffs and take a “Team Canada” approach. He will also be requesting a meeting with all Canadian CEOs and presidents of the auto sector. “We just aren’t going to roll over. We’re going to retaliate and he’s going to feel the pain from the American people,” he said. Ford said he spoke to Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday and will encourage him to “target American cars” in the federal government’s response. Ford attempted to hit at President Trump’s use of the phrase ‘Liberation Day’ when referring to the April 2nd deadline when the 25% auto tariffs will take effect. But again, he can only appeal to Canadians using those same shallow emotional triggers that American progressives are known to use — which actually lack any foundation in truth or fact: WATCH: Ontario, Canada Premier Doug Ford just had another meltdown over President Trump’s 25% car tariff. “President Trump’s calling it Liberation Day.

I call it Termination Day for American workers. President Trump likes telling people you’re fired. I didn’t think he meant auto workers in the US when he said that.” “I’m in full support of preparing retaliatory tariffs, tariff for tariff.” When will this guy give up? He keeps puffing his rather large chest out on camera, only to fold when it counts. One popular X account took the opportunity to point out the complete hypocritical nature of Ford’s entire stance. He loses his mind and starts ramping up a full blown trade war when President Trump starts pushing for legitimate border and trade solutions. Doug Ford stays silent when China slaps tariffs on Canadian businesses, executes Canadian citizens, and floods the country with fentanyl. Instead, Ford’s priority is virtue signaling about Trump’s tariffs. Makes you wonder who’s lining his pockets. pic.twitter.com/OwSNsdKL9w — Western Dominion (@WesternDominion) March 27, 2025 But when it comes to CHINA doing exactly the same thing — and worse — that fact that Ford is only virtue signaling (again, just like American progressives) becomes painfully obvious. That sounds ridiculous, but also seems to be spot on true when you it seems to happen so consistently. And why DOESN’T Ford do the same thing when China pushes on Canada even more than President Trump is?  (We’ll get to that, in a minute.) Keep in mind, as soon as President Trump responded to Ford’s threats the last time around with a threatened increase in the auto tax… he backed down almost immediately. Here’s the post that preceded the last time Ford tucked tail and cowered in the face of real leadership: Here’s the full text of President Trump’s post, in case that screen shot is hard to read: Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on “Electricity” coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th. Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. If other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada, I will substantially increase, on April 2nd, the Tariffs on Cars coming into the U.S. which will, essentially, permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada. Those cars can easily be made in the USA! Also, Canada pays very little for National Security, relying on the United States for military protection. We are subsidizing Canada to the tune of more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. WHY??? This cannot continue. The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians’ taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen! And here was Ford’s almost immediate retreat from his electricity threats: Please see a joint statement from United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and myself: Today, United States Secretary of Commerce @howardlutnick and Premier of Ontario Doug Ford had a productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States… — Doug Ford (@fordnation) March 11, 2025 Here’s the Ontario PM’s politically worded (that’s code for BS) attempt at explaining why he backed down after President Trump threatened to DOUBLE the intended tariffs. Please see a joint statement from United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and myself: Today, United States Secretary of Commerce @howardlutnick and Premier of Ontario Doug Ford had a productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States and Canada. Secretary Lutnick agreed to officially meet with Premier Ford in Washington on Thursday, March 13 alongside the United States Trade Representative to discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline. In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota. But if you thought Trudeau’s replacement, Mark Carney, might be prepared to listen to reason… that would be wrong. Carney is every bit the Trump-hater that Trudeau was, and maybe more so. He is also VERY determined to ‘reimagine’ the Canadian economy based on President Trump’s tariffs — again, rather than simply responding reasonably to the border and trade issues! And by ‘reimagine’, it certainly sounds to me like he wants to pivot away from the United States, and pivot TOWARDS other nations. I’d bet at least a few Canadian dollars that one of those pivots will be towards CHINA. He asserted just that sort of pivot after a cabinet meeting in Ottawa, according to the BBC: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada’s old relationship with the United States, “based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation, is over”. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa after a cabinet meeting, Carney said Canadians must “fundamentally reimagine our economy” in the face of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs. He said Canada would respond with retaliatory tariffs that will have “maximum impact” on the US. Trump announced on Wednesday he would target imported vehicles and vehicle parts with a 25% tax, stating: “This is permanent.” Carney, the Liberal Party leader, called the original Canada-US Automotive Products Agreement signed in 1965 the most important deal in his lifetime. “That’s finished with these tariffs,” he said in French. He continued that Canada can sustain an auto industry with the US tariffs provided the government and business community work to “reimagine” and “retool” the industry. Canada needs to build an economy Canadians can control, he said, and that would include rethinking it’s trade relationship with other partners. So when Ontario PM Ford talks about discussing a cohesive response to President Trump’s tariffs with Canadian PM Mark Carney, he’s talking about someone who HATES President Trump even more than Ford does. When Ford comes out saying Canada needs to pivot away from trade with the United States (as in the video below), the new Canadian PM is on exactly the same page: Doug Ford is such a POS. He’s out here talking about economic war with the USA and praising Mark Carney for his brilliance. I think Doug Ford is either compromised or retarded. pic.twitter.com/eKjEst1y5N — govt.exe is corrupt (@govt_corrupt) March 21, 2025 In fact, in a separate story just after his election a few weeks ago, Carney was described specifically as being “anti-Trump”, according to the BBC: Mark Carney’s elevation to the top job in Canada is of particular significance at this moment when his country is at the frontline of a North American trade war. He becomes the “anti-Trump” on the US president’s doorstep. The former Bank of England governor chose to lean strongly into resisting Donald Trump’s policies at his acceptance speech. He said the US president had brought “dark days” from “a country we can no longer trust” and that he was “proud” of Canadians resisting the US “with their wallets”. While on trade specifically Mr Carney vowed to keep the retaliatory tariffs “until Americans show us respect”, it was clear that the general threats against Canadian sovereignty are equally as important in his thinking. Behind the scenes, Carney has been encouraging a very robust response to Mr Trump. As he told me last month in his only UK interview during his campaign to succeed current Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it was necessary to “stand up to a bully”. He ridiculed Trump’s allegations of Canada’s involvement in fentanyl trade, and the US president’s suggestion that Canada has ripped off the US. Here’s a larger section of PM Ford’s comments. Notice that in his list of potential ‘options’ in responding to President Trump’s tariffs, at no point does he include the potential option of RESPONDING to the trade imbalance or border security issues! While it’s easy to dismiss Ford’s comments as trivial, the fact is Canada figures in to the broader security reality that must be reconsidered as China’s rise creates a new paradigm of threats to global — and American — security. The last time Ford ran his mouth, President Trump simply threatened an additional 25% tariff. In reality, I don’t believe President Trump cares one bit about some temporary tariff on Canadian auto parts. I believe he is looking far more strategically at the implications of Canada’s national leadership cozying up to China — the greatest national threat the United States is currently facing as a whole. Rather than acting like an ALLY, Canada is behaving far more like an extension of the Chinese Communist Party, right on America’s doorstep. Tariffs might be taking the lions’ share of the news bandwidth at the moment, but if the Canadian government continues behaving recklessly in their courting of relations with China over the United States, they may have more to contend with than tariffs, soon. The threat of becoming the 51st U.S. State may be no threat at all. President Trump may be expecting to make good on that promise, if Canada keeps pushing closer to China and farther away from the United States. It could turn out to be the only viable strategic option taking a forward-looking approach to the next few decades, if American security and sovereignty is going to be protected in a world dominated far more by China than in past decades. The idea of Canada somehow being absorbed into the United States may not be any more reckless or fanciful in nature than America’s reacquisition of the Panama Canal, and the planned acquisition of Greenland. It may be the only option.  If so, my bet is that President Trump takes it — no matter what.

FBI Director Kash Patel’s new anti-gang task force is already stacking bodies, collecting criminal gang members like they’re Pokémon cards. Since launching in Virginia, it’s taken down 340 criminals, including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua members. Yep, Patel’s team is out to catch ’em all! Now Patel wants to go nationwide, and Long Island prosecutors are begging Gov. Hochul to say yes. It’s high time Long Island got cleaned up. All of New York, for that matter. The mission? Stop violent migrant gangs before they do anymore damage to this great nation.

Hochul to roll out the red carpet. “Gov. Hochul should be open to a conversation about having a gang task force here. I support it. We should do everything in our power to take down these gangs,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told The Post. “In Nassau, we always work closely with our federal partners, state partners. I work with whoever will help us improve public safety.” The first-in-the-nation interagency task force, led by the FBI, was established to target “violent criminals and illegals harming our citizenry and our way of life,” Patel told The Post. The law enforcement agencies involved include different FBI field offices, the Border Patrol, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Department of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Administration and more. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday that a major task force operation in Virginia had netted 340 criminals since its March 3 launch, including gang members from notorious and violent gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. On Thursday, the task force nabbed Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, the East Coast’s top leader of MS-13, whom Bondi branded “the worst of the worst.” Long Island communities like Brentwood in Suffolk County have seen some of the worst of MS-13’s savagery in recent years, including the merciless slaying of innocent teenagers. Justice is indeed coming. To those that are known criminals, and to those wolves that are still wearing masks. Exposure and justice.

The State Department’s so-called “Catch and Revoke” effort has reportedly involved the use of AI tools to scan social media accounts of foreign student visa holders and assess whether they back US-designated terror groups such as Hamas. “At some point, I hope we run out because we’ve gotten rid of all of them,” Rubio said. “But, we’re looking every day for these lunatics.” No more playing around when it comes to visas.

President Trump just signed an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Passports, military IDs, or REAL IDs will do. Simple, basic stuff. Enter the liberals. The Brennan Center says over 20 million people can’t “easily” access those docs, and nearly 4 million don’t have them at all. The left calls the policy unfair. (Because it targets their massive illegal voter base?) Trump calls it election integrity. It’s just common sense. And it’s what most countries require. 21 Million Voters Can’t Provide Proof Of Citizenship — Making The SAVE Act Even More Necessary https://t.co/6tlwqRJQIT — angie8123 (@AngieLivernois) March 27, 2025 The Federalist reports: The left-wing Brennan Center for Justice claimed that more than 20 million Americans “lack ready access” to proof of citizenship documents. What’s more, the group asserted that survey data shows nearly 4 million Americans “don’t have these documents at all.” The Brennan Center apparently relied on the honor system when performing its survey, so it’s not clear that the respondents are even American citizens — as is often the case with the current voter registration system. But even if they are citizens, failing to require proof of citizenship still poses a threat to the integrity of U.S. elections. Yet the left and the propaganda press oppose the SAVE Act because they claim Americans are essentially too lazy to get their citizenship documents in order. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to promote election integrity. Among the provisions is a mandate that prospective voters provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. Some examples of acceptable proof of citizenship include a United States passport, a REAL ID that indicates citizenship, a military identification card, and a valid state or federal government-issued identification. In line with the lawfare that has plagued Trump’s second term already, the left-wing group “ActionLink” said that while Trump’s executive order is “going to be challenged in court,” the SAVE Act “does much of the same thing” and therefore must be opposed. The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require in-person voter registration and documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. While it’s already technically illegal for noncitizens to register to vote — and vote — current law is largely toothless. The only thing standing between a noncitizen and voting is a small square box on the federal voter registration form that requires an applicant to attest that he is telling the truth about his citizenship status under penalty of perjury. In other words, the only thing preventing a noncitizen from registering to vote is the honor system. The left likes to pretend that it supports prohibitions on noncitizen voting. Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said as much in a video denouncing the SAVE Act: “They are trying to take something that we all agree on — that only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections — and use that to make it harder for millions of eligible citizens to cast their vote.” Trump’s executive order and the SAVE Act simply add teeth to current prohibitions on noncitizens voting. If Benson and the rest of the left agree that only U.S. citizens should vote, why all the opposition? Wouldn’t they want to know whether, for example, 21.3 million voting-age people in America are actually citizens and eligible to vote? From the Brennan Center’s site: Last year, the Brennan Center partnered with VoteRiders, the Center for Civic Democracy and Engagement (CDCE) at the University of Maryland, and Public Wise to survey Americans about what identification they possess and what they know about voter ID laws in their state. We also asked respondents whether they had documents that prove their citizenship — a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers — readily available. Our research indicates that more than 9 percent of American citizens of voting age, or 21.3 million people, don’t have proof of citizenship readily available. There are myriad reasons for this — the documents might be in the home of another family member or in a safety deposit box. And at least 3.8 million don’t have these documents at all, often because they were lost, destroyed, or stolen. And this comes on the heels of President Trump’s executive order to include citizenship questions on ballots:

Turns out, some Greenlanders are actually into President Trump’s idea of joining the U.S., they’re just scared to say it out loud.

The Post spoke to multiple Greenlanders on Thursday who quietly approved of Trump’s proposals to form a partnership with the island — or even take it over from its Danish rulers — but asked to speak anonymously after receiving death threats over their views and advocacy. “For the American people, the highest-ranking valuable thing you can give another country is to be part of the United States,” said one resident of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital. “When Donald Trump says, ‘You can even join the United States’ — that’s the most valuable thing Donald Trump is saying he can give up.” “I can’t say that,” this person added. “It’s like I will be killed. It’s f—ng crazy times here in Greenland; the fear-mongering, the divide and conquer of the media has been crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.” Though roughly 90% of the island’s population of just over 56,000 are Greenlandic Inuit, the media is primarily Danish — influencing the opinions of the native people, according to Trump supporter Lars Kleist.

A woman live-streamed herself driving to the Freddie Mac building near D.C., saying she planned to “blow everything up.” Not sure that’s the smartest move to make. She name-dropped herself, made bomb threats on camera, and headed straight for federal property. That’s probably not that smart either. So, naturally, the police pulled her over and arrested her before she could reach the building. Gotta admit, that’s quite impressive for how fast they got the info, responded and tracked her down. Though, that is a bit creepy. We really are being watched and tracked. SCOOP! Former Freddie Mac Employee Arrested for Alleged Bomb Threat Against Trump Appointee https://t.co/LbHsVMrIG2 via @BreitbartNews — John Carney (@carney) March 27, 2025 Daily Mail reports: A woman made wild bomb threats in a live stream driving to a federal housing loan services building outside of Washington, D.C., according to video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. Maria Del Carmen Lozano focused the camera on the road, but noted her name at least twice, and declared to viewers she was on her way to the Freddie Mac building in McLean, Virginia on Tuesday with the intent to ‘blow everything up.’ Fairfax County Police issued warrants for the woman’s arrest – one for a bomb threat and one for trespassing. She was pulled over during a traffic stop and taken into custody. A representative from the FBI confirmed the bureau is ‘monitoring the situation.’ Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte was in the building at the time of the threat, a source familiar with the situation told DailyMail.com. They also reveal that Lozano was a technology worker with Freddie Mac who was fired before Pulte was confirmed two weeks ago to lead the agency tasked with overseeing $9 trillion in home and mortgage loans. Lozano was released from custody Thursday morning, but continued to live stream and threaten Freddie Mac employees and Director Pulte. ‘I’m about to blow everything up in Freddie Mac right now so they know that this is real and not fake, ok?’ Lozano said in her live-streamed rant. ‘So, give me a few more minutes,’ she continued, ‘and I will blow up this motherf****** building at Freddie Mac so people know that this is real and not fake.’ The tirade and threats come as multiple agencies across the U.S. government work to make cuts, including gutting agencies and firing thousands of federal employees at the recommendation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Since his confirmation just two weeks ago, Pulte has fired 200 people, to include board members appointed by Joe Biden and other employees.

Hours after President Donald Trump pulled her nomination to become U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) reacted by saying it was about “stepping up as a team.” During an interview on Thursday evening, Stefanik pinned the decision on a “combination” of “the New York corruption” in the special election process and the House GOP’s narrow majority. “This is about stepping up as a team, and I am doing that as a leader to ensure that we can take hold of this mandate and deliver these historic results,” Stefanik said on Fox News. .@EliseStefanik displays PURE CLASS by stepping back from her UN Ambassador nomination to push President Trump’s agenda in Congress and serve her North Country constituents: "This is about stepping up as a team, and I’m doing that as a leader to ensure that we can take hold of… pic.twitter.com/uPq9g5gBMR — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) March 28, 2025 Stefanik, who spoke with host and former Trump spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany, mentioned budget reconciliation legislation with which the GOP aims to fulfill Trump’s domestic agenda priorities. Although she testified in a confirmation hearing and advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back in January, Stefanik never got a final vote on the Senate floor. Her nomination got held up as New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul was reportedly expected to slow-walk a special election and the House GOP grappled with a slim majority. There are 218 Republicans and 213 Democrats in the House. Two special elections to fill GOP-won seats are set for next week in Florida. Two other vacancies are from Democrats who recently died. Earlier on Thursday, Trump announced on Truth Social that he asked Stefanik to remain in Congress to help him deliver his “America First Agenda” on tax cuts, border security, energy, and more. “With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” Trump said, adding that there are “others that can do a good job at the United Nations.” Also in his social media post, Trump mentioned that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was “thrilled” with the decision and he said Stefanik would “rejoin the House Leadership Team.” Stefanik previously served as House GOP Conference chair, a role now held by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI). Johnson said he would invite Stefanik back to the leadership team, but did not specify a position. In her interview, Stefanik insisted there was “good news” because “the American people will be hearing a lot more from me” as she no longer has limitations associated with a pending confirmation. Stefanik also teased what comes next, saying she “looked forward to continuing to hold higher education accountable for their failures, as well as all of my work … in the national security space.”
