In The Shadow Of Mt Hollywood

Via the Nrw York Post : An ultra-exclusive Hamptons yacht club catering to the wealthy and well-connected was forced to suspend its members-only restaurant service for multiple days after several of its kitchen staff were booted from the country over visa issues, The Post has learned. The swanky oceanfront Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett — which reportedly charges around $100,000 in initiation fees — canceled its Wednesday night dinner service after its foreign cooks had to leave the US because of problems renewing their H-2B temporary work visas, according to a letter sent to members the same day. Food service was also canceled Thursday and was not expected to be back up and running until Friday’s lunch service, the club informed its deep-pocketed members — a group that once included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s parents. “The H2B visa approval for our cooks is still not resolved,” the letter obtained by The Post stated, referring to special visas that allow US employers to fi...

With Ceuta abandoned by the coward socialist dirty Sánchez, the men of the city are taking things into their own hands and going after the invaders. pic.twitter.com/c8JwoRucqL — Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 (@TRobinsonNewEra) August 28, 2026 Via the BBC : A month after tens of thousands of migrants entered the city of Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa, there have been outbreaks of violence as tensions mount between locals and foreign arrivals. The Spanish government has been accused by opposition parties of struggling to manage the crisis effectively. Ceuta's residents have complained of feeling unsafe on the streets, as well as expressing concerns about the burden being placed on public services. . . . Earlier this week, the government centralised management of the situation, overriding the local authority, after criticism that it had been slow to respond. Defence Minister Margarita Robles also apologised to those in Ceuta who "may have felt, or who even still feel,...

I can't help it, I've been chuckling for days about Trump renaming Lake Ontario : “If you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean. So maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific,” Trump said. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said New York would be defying Trump’s wishes on renaming the lake that hugs its northern border. “New York won’t be calling it that,” Hochul declared on X. Carney also rejected the rebrand, saying that “the name is more than 400 years old” and “comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means ‘the lake is beautiful, the lake is big.’” “We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms,” he tweeted. “Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.” The prime minister broke off trade talks with the US on Friday and claimed that “America is trying to br...

On Tuesday, I linked to a paper at Ottawa's Carleton University site that seems to provide a good outline of Canadian policy since Justin Trudeau's reported 2024 remarks to Trump that a 25% auto tariff would mean "the end of Canada". The paper's basic point is that the US and Canada are effectifvely at war, because the US is already implementing strategies that will mean a takeover of Canada: The threat of the U.S. relying on military coercion to control a NATO ally has become front-page news in Canada and elsewhere, suggesting that Canadians are deeply concerned about this issue. However improbable a war with America might be, the reality is that the U.S. already has in place a number of strategies that can and will be leveraged to its advantage to achieve its strategic objectives. These levers of influence fall within the grey zone of conflict and render the need to formally occupy Canada redundant. The grey zone refers to coercive statecraft that ope...

Let's recall that a week ago , President Donald Trump late Tuesday stateside paused imposing 50% tariffs on certain Canadian imports, shortly before the duties were set to kick in at midnight. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that this was “based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL!” This announcement comes after Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held trade talks on Tuesday. In his post, Trump also suggested that the Keystone XL pipeline could be “awoken from the grave!” The pipeline refers to an extension of a pipeline system in Canada and the United States. as of yesterday , The [Canadian] government announced counter-tariffs on American goods worth about $27.6 billion on Tuesday, in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canada that came into effect on the weekend after trade talks broke down. The Canadian measures, which are set to come into effect on Sept. 8, will affect a range of products incl...

"WE DON'T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US!" President Trump announces tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, automotive parts and steel will jump to 50% on January 1, 2027, accusing Canada of "ripping off" the United States for years. Trump points to Canada's tariffs on American farmers… pic.twitter.com/a3DvYZNEnJ — Fox News (@FoxNews) August 24, 2026 Via Conservative Treehouse : [Former Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia] Freeland calls in from Kiev to remind the Bloomberg audience that Canada’s best next steps will be to conduct targeted narrative operations against the American people in order to retain the Canadian parasite position. Rather than accept reciprocal terms for fair trade, Freeland notes the best strategy is to deliver targeted propaganda directly to American voters against President Trump. This was the approach Freeland, and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took in 2018. I asked Chrome AI mode, "What moves would Canada make in dir...

The migrant invasion of Ceuta was briefly in the news on July 31 and a few days afterward, but the Spanish government declared that they all went home again, and everything was back to normal. Subsequent reports indicate this was never the case. It's been 15 days since tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco began flooding across the border into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta. Because the shocking images of the influx of mostly men of military age faded from international headlines after a few days, the casual news observer outside of Spain might think the situation in Ceuta is under control. In fact, the most recent videos coming out of the Spanish city are in some ways even more alarming than those documenting the initial invasion. . . . While no official data has been released, a spokesperson for the police union JUPOL claims there is now a rape every day in Ceuta. Euronews reports that three Moroccan nationals were arrested this week for sexual assault o...
