As Canada tries to reduce its dependence on the US, its leader will visit China to rebuild ties
https://apnews.com/article/china-canada-carney-trump-us-tariffs-economy-c8227349417cd2fdd134e8a4894bc1e5
BEIJING (AP) — A leader of Canada is visiting China this week for the first time in nearly a decade, a bid to rebuild the country’s fractured relations with the world’s second-largest economy — and reduce Canada’s dependence on the United States.
[Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney] aims to double Canada’s non-American exports in the next decade in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the American leader’s musing that Canada could become “the 51st state.”

“At a time of global trade disruption, Canada is focused on building a more competitive, sustainable and independent economy,” Carney said in a statement. “We’re forging new partnerships around the world to transform our economy from one that has been reliant on a single trade partner.”

Leaked documents reveal new plea for federal agents as rank-and-file buck orders
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/leaked-documents-reveal-new-plea-for-federal-agents-as-rank-and-file-buck-orders/ar-AA1U5L89?

Klippenstein also reported that "opposition within the ranks" of ICE prompted DHS to issue a call for "volunteers" in Minneapolis. One document called for 200 more Border Patrol agents and 100 "processing coordinators" for the week of January 11. One unnamed ICE agent anonymously confided to Klippenstein that their colleagues are uneasy about deploying in the Twin Cities area, given the massive protests that have been underway since Good was killed.

FDA deletes warning on bogus autism therapies touted by RFK Jr.‘s allies
The agency used to warn of chelation, used by RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine ally David Geier.
https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/01/warning-about-bogus-autism-treatments-vanishes-from-fdas-website/
To address this nonexistent problem, anti-vaccine activists have touted chelation as a way to remove metals delivered via vaccines and treat autism. One of the most notorious of these activists is David Geier, whom Kennedy hired to the US health department last year to study the debunked connection between vaccines and autism. David Geier, along with his late father, Mark Geier, faced discipline from the Maryland State Board of Physicians in 2011 for, among other things, putting the health of autistic children at risk by treating them with unproven and dangerous hormone and chelation therapies. Mark Geier was stripped of his medical license. David Geier, who is not a scientist or doctor, was issued a civil fine for practicing medicine without a license.

Quitting in protest shows every other branch of government and every single other lawyer in the country something very, very fucky is going on.

Trump would have fired them anyway. The people that take those jobs will be forever pariahs. Not that it makes anything better. This used to be a huge signal that the administration is fucked and overreaching, but now it's just Wednesday.

'Nothing to see here!' Observers flabbergasted as Trump move resembles money laundering
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2674894355/?
On Wednesday, Semafor reported that Trump is keeping revenue from the oil the U.S. has seized from Venezuela in a bank account in Qatar. The report cited "an administration official" and said the money was being kept in Qatar because "money can flow freely with U.S. approval and without risk of seizure."
That last part is the important one because Trump doesn't want any American companies going after Venezuelan oil revenues.

Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story
Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.
In written responses to WIRED, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence invoked America’s war in Afghanistan to explain the framework it applies to Venezuela, pointing to a conflict that stretched two decades, consumed trillions of dollars, and saw tens of thousands of civilians and security personnel killed, in addition to nearly 2,500 US service members. Just as it found no evidence to support the claim that Maduro’s government was directing TdA, the office added, “The Taliban was never assessed to be directing al-Qaeda’s attacks.”

Don't let the American people you love go to Cancun or PV in the foreseeable future. Word around the pallapa is all about how medieval the cartels are willing to go with kidnapped Americans should the pedophile president grow a wild hair up his ass and try something.

I'm talking about already packed neatly into buses, conveniently rolling on a highway, secured with a suddenly unmotivated Guardia Nacional, prime for the slaughtering spring-breaking white Americans.

The different ways the cartels will kidnap Americans and what they will do to them is a topic of casual conversation. And it is done so casually that it sounds as if they are talking about last night's big game at a prime rib carving station. They don't want this to happen, but they know better than anyone how low the cartels can go.
