Trump ACCUSES Canada of Choosing China Over Security as Golden Dome Row EXPLODES

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited tensions with Canada, launching sharp criticism over Ottawa’s growing engagement with China and its resistance to a proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system extending over Greenland. In a series of statements posted on Truth Social and delivered at global forums including Davos, Trump accused Canada of prioritising economic ties with Beijing at the cost of its own national security. He warned that China could “eat them up” within a year if current policies continue, framing Canada’s outreach to Beijing as a strategic vulnerability for North America. WATCH ... [Read More]

Trump BRANDED “Madman”: Niece Mary Trump Breaks Silence

Fresh concerns are emerging from within Donald Trump’s own family, as his psychologist niece, Mary Trump, raises pointed alarms over what she describes as a visible decline in his self-control, judgment and cognitive stability. In a sharply worded Substack post, Mary Trump draws attention to a pattern of impulsive behaviour, incoherent public remarks and escalating emotional volatility that she says can no longer be ignored. The latest warning follows Trump’s recent appearances, including remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos which Mary Trump characterized as a troubling mix of threats, disjointed messaging, and erratic assertions. According to her analysis, these statements reflect deeper psychological and cognitive concerns rather than isolated political rhetoric. WATCH ... [Read More]

Trump's "Freebies" Remark: BOOTS Canada From 'Board Of Peace' As Davos Diplomacy

A sharp diplomatic rift unfolded at the World Economic Forum in Davos as U.S. President Donald Trump revoked Canada’s invitation to the proposed “Board of Peace,” triggering a strong response from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Trump, speaking during high-level discussions on global security and prosperity, claimed that Canada has long benefited disproportionately from American strategic, economic and defense support, questioning Ottawa’s gratitude and alignment. The fallout escalated after Trump announced the withdrawal through a post on Truth Social, framing the decision as a reassessment of U.S. commitments to allies. The move effectively ended Canada’s participation in the high-profile initiative, with Ottawa declining to bear any costs linked to the now-collapsed invitation. WATCH ... [Read More]

Critical 72-Hour WINDOW for the U.S.: Major Cities To Face Disruption

A powerful and far-reaching winter storm is accelerating eastward, placing nearly two-thirds of the United States under escalating weather threats. Forecast models indicate a rapidly intensifying system stretching from Texas to New England, capable of delivering crippling ice, heavy snowfall and extreme Arctic cold over several days. A critical 72-hour window highlights a direct hit along the I-95 corridor, with cities from Washington D.C. to New York and Boston facing the potential for disruptive snow and damaging ice. Forecasters warn that ice accumulation in some regions could rival hurricane-level impacts, particularly where power infrastructure is most vulnerable. WATCH ... [Read More]
