Will Canada Become the 51st American State?
PM Carney says No. He announced he was inviting King Charles III to Canada to tell Mr. Trump that Canada is a special part of an international conglomeration of former British colonies under the sovereignty of an English king and certainly could not be part of any other union.
The King gave that formal speech yesterday from a grand throne, but he went far off script, indicating that he was not the sovereign over Canada, and that Canada wasn’t really a nation at all.
“I would like to acknowledge,” he said, “that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people…it is my great hope that in each of your communities, and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation, in both word and deed.”
Robert Spencer summarizes: “Charles is woke. Charles was just affirming that he was a standard-issue 21st-century leftist, full of guilt for colonialism and likely for white supremacy as well, despite never actually having indulged in either one.

“We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.”
Colonel Douglas MacGregor predicts a continuation of the Iran war soon, once all sides have replenished missile stocks.
"Washington’s political class manifests much less regard for the long-term strategic interests of its own citizens—their security and prosperity. As a result, Washington pays an exorbitant price in reputation and treasure for policies that confront Palestinians with the choice of death or expulsion from their homelands.
"Assumptions of tacit acceptance or rapid capitulation are implicit and dangerous.
[The Muslims will not 'do a deal.']
"When Hitler was briefed on the expected Soviet reaction to Operation Barbarossa, Major General Ernst Koestring, a Prussian officer fluent in Russian from a family that had lived in Moscow since the reign of Catherine the Great, advised: “Initially, German forces will advance rapidly. The various peoples on the Soviet periphery will likely welcome the German forces. Resistance will be weak. But when the Germans advance into ...
