Carney SQUEEZED as China demands Tariff Relief
Carney SQUEEZED as China demands tariff relief
As trade talks continue in Beijing, China is pressing Canada to drop EV tariffs while premiers warn Ottawa not to sacrifice Canadian auto jobs.
Straight Up
with Marc Patron
Prime Minister Mark Carney is in China this week for high-stakes trade talks, with Beijing pressing Ottawa to lower or eliminate tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. According to reporting in the Toronto Star, Canadian negotiators are discussing a potential trade-off: easing EV tariffs in exchange for relief from Chinese counter-tariffs on Canadian exports like canola and seafood.
The proposal has triggered sharp pushback at home. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is urging Carney to hold the line, warning that opening the door to low-cost Chinese EVs could devastate Ontario’s already-strained auto manufacturing sector and threaten thousands of jobs.
Meanwhile, Chinese state-controlled media is signalling skepticism, suggesting Ottawa must prove its outreach to Beijing is not merely a tactic to gain leverage against the United States. China has openly urged Canada to distance itself from Washington if it wants improved relations — a demand that raises serious questions about Canada’s long-term trade and security alignment.
Engineer and longtime industry executive Ves Sobot joins Straight Up to break down what’s really at stake — from EV tariffs and energy exports to Canada’s fragile position between two global superpowers.

President Trump Reappoints Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to the District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure
Washington, DC – President Donald Trump reappointed Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to the District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure for a term of five years. (President Trump initially appointed Fitton to the Commission in 2020). Fitton made the following statement about his reappointment:
Thank you, President Trump, for reappointing me to the District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure. I am honoured and humbled by your confidence. This important responsibility is, of course, in addition to my duties as Judicial Watch president.
I look forward to my continued work with my fellow commissioners to ‘maintain public confidence in an independent, impartial, fair, and qualified judiciary, and to enforce the high standards of conduct judges must adhere to both on and off the bench.’ Our nation’s capital needs the best possible courts, especially in light of the public safety concerns that have gained national attention.
The District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure was established by Congress to review complaints of misconduct against judges of the District of Columbia courts. The commission’s authority includes reappointment evaluations (sent to the president) of associate judges and performance and fitness reviews of senior judges.
The commission has “the authority to remove a judge for willful misconduct in office, for willful and persistent failure to perform judicial duties, and for conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, or which brings the judicial office into disrepute.
The Commission also has the authority to retire a judge involuntarily if the Commission determines that the judge suffers from a mental or physical disability which is or is likely to become permanent and which prevents, or seriously interferes with, the proper performance of duties.
In addition, the Commission may, under appropriate circumstances, censure or reprimand a judge publicly.”

Dear Reader,
As secretary of HHS, RFK Jr has made a demand that terrifies liberals across the country.
If enacted, it could cut off HUNDREDS-OF-MILLIONS in dark money campaign contributions… And set the liberal agenda back DECADES.
But he’s not doing it for political purposes… He’s doing it to save the lives of millions of hard-working Americans, just like you.
Even still, the liberal attacks are ramping up to a fever pitch… He’s even been informed of assassination plots against his life.
So, you don’t hear a stunning secret mainstream medicine has been hiding for years.
P.S. If RFK Jr follows through on this single promise, it could cost liberals hundreds of millions in campaign funds, but it could also save your life. See what has left the terrified by clicking right here.
Trump flips the bird at a heckler after a comment that crossed the line
President Donald Trump raised his middle finger and mouthed “f**k you” at a heckling autoworker who yelled “pedophile protector” during a tour of Ford’s F-150 assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan, on Tuesday. The White House called the response “appropriate and unambiguous” as the incident, captured on video, drew swift backlash and a worker suspension.
· Heckler Identifies Himself: TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old UAW line worker, admitted shouting the insult with no regrets and faced immediate suspension pending investigation.
· White House Defends Action Communications Director Steven Cheung described the heckler as a “lunatic” in a rage, praising Trump’s direct reply as fitting.
· Ford Officials React Positively. Executive Chairman Bill Ford and CEO Jim Farley highlighted strong ties with Trump, emphasizing added shifts and manufacturing support amid the visit.
Second ICE shooting sparks violent clashes in Minneapolis
Agitators and federal law enforcement clashed in Minneapolis Wednesday night into Thursday morning after a second ICE-involved shooting where an agent shot an alleged illegal immigrant in the leg during an arrest attempt, with DHS claiming the agent fired because he was “fearing for his life and safety” after the individual “violently assaulted the officer,” while the suspect is now stable and in custody with the ICE agent allegedly hospitalized.
· Protests turn violent with tear gas, pepper balls deployed: At least a hundred demonstrators protested the shooting using horns and whistles while officers deployed tear gas, pepper balls, and flash bangs as rioters tossed items at agents, with Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara saying the crowd was committing “unlawful acts” including throwing fireworks at officers and urging people to “leave immediately,” warning “This is already a very tense situation, and we do not need this to escalate any further.”
· Local officials demand ICE leave, condemn agency’s presence: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the deployment of roughly 3,000 ICE agents in Minneapolis and statewide was “creating chaos” rather than safety, noting “a huge percentage of the shootings that have taken place so far this year in Minneapolis have been by ICE” and calling ICE’s conduct “disgusting and intolerable,” while Gov. Tim Walz urged peaceful demonstrations, writing “What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets” and again calling on ICE to leave the state.
Trump slams the door on visas for 75 nations, including Russia and Iran
The Trump administration has frozen visa processing for citizens of 75 countries—including Russia, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Brazil—starting January 21, as the State Department reassesses screening to block applicants likely to become public charges and exploit U.S. benefits amid heightened global tensions and Iran strike threats.
· Expanded public charge enforcement: The indefinite pause targets applicants who might rely on welfare, with consular officers now denying visas based on factors like health, age, and English proficiency; exceptions remain extremely limited.
· Somalia fraud focus highlighted: Somalia joins Russia and Iran on the list due to reported widespread public benefits fraud by its community in Minnesota, prompting stricter vetting beyond general security concerns.
· Geopolitical timing noted: The move coincides with U.S. military evacuations in the Middle East and Trump’s threats of strikes on Iran over its deadly protester crackdown, though officially tied to immigration reform rather than direct war escalation.
Fauci privately praised natural immunity before mandating jabs
Newly released emails show Dr. Anthony Fauci privately called Israeli study data on natural COVID immunity “rather impressive” in August 2021—acknowledging prior infection could surpass vaccination—while publicly championing broad vaccine mandates that ignored such evidence for recovered Americans.
· Fauci’s Private Admission: Fauci emailed that natural infection might produce immunity “even surpassing that of full vaccination,” describing the Israeli study’s findings—showing 13 times greater protection against reinfection—as “rather impressive” yet potentially complicated.
· Internal Government Discussions: Top officials, including NIH Director Francis Collins, called the Israeli research “well-designed” but “puzzling,” while CDC analyses noted infection-induced immunity appeared more durable than vaccine-induced up to 4-6 months, prompting booster suggestions.
· Public Policy Contrast: Despite private recognition of strong natural immunity, Fauci advocated mandates in fall 2021 media appearances as essential for societal protection, contributing to policies that affected millions with prior infections amid FOIA-obtained documents.

ICE Agent Who Shot Renee Good Sustained Internal Injuries
ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot a 37-year-old Minneapolis-area resident last week as she tried to drive over him during a street confrontation, sustained internal injuries from that encounter.
CBS reported that Ross experienced internal bleeding of the torso due to the vehicle strike. The outlet cited two unnamed government sources who had been briefed on his medical condition for the information.
Ross was previously injured during a June arrest attempt in Bloomington, Minnesota, when he was dragged by a vehicle driven by a person being detained.
The incident occurred during an effort to take a foreign national with a prior sex-offence conviction into custody, and Ross was dragged more than 100 yards before freeing himself. Ross required 20 stitches to his right arm and 13 stitches to his left hand as a result of that potentially deadly encounter.
The resulting criminal case ended with a federal conviction, with a jury in U.S. District Court in St. Paul finding Roberto Carlos Munoz, 40, guilty of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon and causing bodily injury.
Ross's encounter with Good last week happened during an immigration enforcement operation. The Department of Homeland Security said Ross fired in self-defence after Good tried to run him over.
The shooting led to protests in Minneapolis and other parts of Minnesota. Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey criticized the Department of Homeland Security's account of the shooting incident.
No charges have been filed.

Patrick Bestall’s INPUT:
Charlie Kirk turned to RC just before his death.
.PB
In this sobering and wide-ranging conversation, Fr. Chad Ripperger delivers a powerful warning on the Great Apostasy and the final trial of the Church, drawing directly from Catechism of the Catholic Church §§675–677.
Speaking with Jesse Romero, Fr. Ripperger offers a priestly and theological analysis of the “mystery of iniquity,” religious deception, and the conditions that precede the Church’s final Passover. He explains how modern errors—particularly modernism, relativism, and secular messianism—undermine the Deposit of Faith and prepare the ground for widespread apostasy.
This episode addresses critical questions Catholics are asking today: Are we already living in a period of apostasy? What does the Catechism mean by the Church’s “final trial”? How does modernism replace objective truth with subjective experience? Why does the Church reject millenarianism and the rapture?
What is meant by spiritual and physical chastisement? How should Catholics understand the Antichrist, religious deception, and false solutions to human problems? Fr. Ripperger also discusses the role of bad leadership as a form of chastisement, the danger of confusing political or technological solutions with salvation, and why the Church will not triumph through worldly progress—but through fidelity, purification, and ultimately the Cross.
This is a serious, catechetical discussion rooted in Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the authoritative teaching of the Church—intended to inform, warn, and call Catholics back to clarity, discipline, and faithfulness in a time of confusion.
Topics covered include: CCC 675–677:
The Great Apostasy and Final Trial Religious deception and the “mystery of iniquity” Modernism as the supreme error Social and political false messianism Chastisement, purification, and the Passion of the Church Why the Church rejects the rapture and millenarianism Watch, share, and discern carefully.

Comments added by Me [Don]...
The interviewer, [Romaro is an internationally renowned Catholic author, radio host, and evangelist]... Jesse Romaro said. When he [Charlie Kirk] encountered a sacred liturgy, you know, with altar rails and Gregorian chant, I've heard him say before he passed away, he said, "I encountered God in a way that I'd never encountered him before."
Did Kirk become CATHOLIC before he was assassinated?
I checked this out using AI... Here is what I received...
There is no verified evidence that Charlie Kirk formally converted to Roman Catholicism before his death. However, multiple reports from Catholic-oriented outlets state that in the days before his assassination, he was seriously considering becoming Catholic and told a Catholic bishop he was “this close” to converting.
Here’s what’s been reported:
· According to Catholic News Agency and other Catholic sources, Kirk had a private conversation with Bishop Joseph Brennan of Fresno about a week before he was killed (Sept. 10, 2025).
· In that exchange, Kirk is said to have talked about attending Mass with his Catholic wife and children, and then remarked to the bishop regarding Catholicism, “I’m this close” to becoming Catholic.
· This comment has been interpreted by Catholic writers as indicating he was seriously considering conversion.
· Kirk also publicly expressed a warmer view of Catholic practices (e.g., veneration of Mary) compared with many evangelicals, which fueled speculation about his openness to Catholicism.
Important distinctions:
· None of these reports confirms that Kirk actually completed a conversion (e.g., through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or formal reception into the Catholic Church).
· They are based on anecdotal accounts published after his death and have mainly appeared in Catholic-oriented media.
· Mainstream secular reporting has not independently verified that he became Catholic.
In short, Kirk did not formally become Roman Catholic before he died, but according to some reports, he was seriously contemplating entering the Catholic Church and told a Catholic bishop he was “very close” to doing so.
Final Note:
In the VIDEO:
#1. At the 5:00 Minute Mark is a reference that Kirk was considering the RC Church
#2. At the 18:50 Minute Mark, the Concept of REPLACEMENT Theology is addressed as well. At the declaration, a) there is no RAPTURE, and b) nor is there a MILLENNIAL REIGN for 1,000 years.
