President Donald Trump unloaded on Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau Saturday for remarks the G7 summit host made on trade, announcing the U.S. will not endorse the communique signed by the seven largest advanced economies in the world.
“Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!” Trump tweeted.

“PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around,” the President added. “Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!”

President Trump was responding to Trudeau’s remarks on trade between the U.S. and Canada, in which the prime minister warned his government would take retaliatory measures if new tariffs were introduced.
I Said HELL NO and I Mean It .
“I highlighted directly to the president that Canadians did not take it lightly, the United States’ move forward with significant tariffs on our steel and aluminum industry,” began Trudeau. “[I] particularly did not take lightly the fact that it’s based on national security reason that for Canadians who either themselves or whose parents or community members have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with American soldiers in far off lands, in conflicts from the First World War onwards, that it’s kind of insulting.”
“And I highlighted it was not helping in our renegotiation of NAFTA and that it would be with regret but it would be with absolute certainty and firmness that we move forward with retaliatory measures on 1 July – applying equivalent tariffs to the ones that the Americans have unjustly applied to us,” Trudeau continued.
Trudeau finished with a warning to Trump, saying “Canadians are polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around.”

Trump wants ‘Deep State Justice Dept’ to probe Huma Abedin
President Trump on Tuesday suggested the Department of Justice “must finally act?” to investigate longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin after the State Department last week released emails belonging to her, including some marked classified that were found on her husband’s laptop.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols,” he wrote on Twitter. “She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”
The State Department last Friday released parts of 2,800 emails that belonged to Abedin but were recovered by the FBI on the laptop of her husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, during an investigation into his sexting with a female high school student.
The discovery of the emails, some marked as classified, prompted former FBI Director James Comey to announce in October 2016, just weeks before the presidential election, that he would reopen the probe into Clinton’s use of a private email server.
He reversed himself two days before the vote, saying nothing of significance had been found in her emails.
Trump fired Comey, who had been heading the FBI’s investigation into Russian meddling in the election, in May.
The president was also referring to a report on the Daily Caller website on Sunday that said Abedin forwarded sensitive work emails to her private Yahoo account – and some of the messages contained passwords for her government laptop.
The report noted that 500 million Yahoo accounts had been hacked in 2014.
Among those indicted by the Department of Justice in March 2017 for the hack was Igor Suschin, a former Russian intelligence agent.
Now that’s a full damned goon right there. Damn she’s a goon. Nothing but attitude.
Evergreen professor who made anti-white comments resigns, gets $240G settlement
An Evergreen State College professor who was captured on video harassing her white co-workers resigned after reaching a financial settlement with the college.
Naima Lowe, a self-described black queer artist and educator who taught video and performance art at Evergreen State, received $240,000 from the college after she filed a discrimination and hostile work environment claim, according to college spokesperson Zach Powers.
Lowe has been on personal leave since the beginning of the school year after she claimed she was the victim of “online attacks on her,” according to a letter sent to colleagues. She officially resigned Dec. 6.
Lowe came under fire after she was caught on video berating her white co-workers.
“You are now these motherf***ers that we’re pushing against,” Lowe told her co-workers on the school’s Equity Council in a viral video earlier this year. “You can’t see your way out of your own *ss…This sh** is literally going to kill me.”
In a 2015 video that recently surfaced, Lowe is again heard making racist comments toward white people, the Campus Reform reported.
“White supremacy…lives and breathes within every single white person standing here right now,” Lowe said. “I refuse to shut my mouth and let white people set this agenda…the white gays, the white middle class assimilationist motherf***ing gays, took over the [gay] movement with their assimilationist goals.”
There has been at least five high-profile Evergreen employees who have resigned since last spring following a series of protest at the college relating to accusations of racism and intolerance, according to The Olympian, a local website. Rashida Love, director of the college’s First People’s Multicultural Advising Services program, also resigned last month due to online threats.
Racial tension at the Washington state college was heightened when a professor, Bret Weinstein, who has since resigned, was targeted by a mob of students after he took issue with a demand for a “day of absence” where all white people were asked to leave the campus for a day. The student mob shut down the campus for several days and accused Weinstein of being a racist. At the time, Weinstein had to be escorted out of the campus for fear of his life.
Weinstein and his wife, Heather Heying, a fellow Evergreen professor, filed a $3.85 million tort claim in July claiming Evergreen failed to “protect its employees from repeated provocative and corrosive verbal and written hostility based on race, as well as threats of physical violence.” They resigned in September as part of a $450,000 settlement with the college.
Stacy Brown, the chief of Police Services at the college, resigned after she was also targeted by protesters who alleged institutional racism.
Boston Professor Proclaims ‘Jingle Bells’ a ‘Racist’ Song
A professor at Boston University has proclaimed Christmas carol favorite “Jingle Bells” to be a “racist song” and is urging people to shun the jaunty tune.
Kyna Hamill, a theater history professor at Boston University, recently told the Boston Globe that the venerable Christmas song has a “secret” racist past that has been “systematically” hidden from Americans as they celebrate the Christmas season.
“The history of the song has remained hidden behind its local and season affection,” Hamill told the paper. She continued saying the song’s “blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history.”
Hamill claims the song, written 160 years ago by James Pierpont, was written to ridicule black people and was first performed in a blackface minstrel hall in Boston in 1857.
The professor said that her study of the history of the song proved that the song was made to satirize how black people reacted to winter activities such as sleigh riding. The comedy routine was to portray blacks as “behaving foolishly, grotesquely, and incompetently” in unfamiliar situations.
But, Hamill claims that over time the minstrel origins of the song faded away as people continued singing it during the Christmas holiday.
Hamill also points out that the song’s author later joined the Confederate army and wrote fight songs and patriotic airs for the nascent Confederate States of America during the Civil War.
With her research in hand, the professor is urging the town of Medford, Massachusetts to drop its annual celebration that Pierpont wrote “Jingle Bells” in their town and forever shun the “racist” song going forward.
Judge Releases 19-Year-Old Charged in Facebook Video Torture of Disabled Chicago Teen
The first of four Chicago suspects accused of beating and torturing a disabled teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook has pleaded guilty, but a judge let her off without prison time, a report says.
Brittany Covington, 19, pleaded guilty to a hate crime in court on Friday, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The suspect also “pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and intimidation charges. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped additional charges, including kidnapping,” the Tribunesaid.
Despite the guilty plea, Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks released Covington without jail time. Telling Covington, “Do not mess this up,” Judge Hooks imposed 200 hours of community service and banned Covington from using social media and having contact with her co-defendants for four years.
The judge did not assign jail time because, he said, “I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.”Hooks insisted that his sentence would give Covington the chance to put her life on a productive path.
Covington is the first of the four defendants who were arrested early this year for the attack posted to Facebook.
In January, four Chicago teens were arrested after police were alerted to a Facebook live video showing the assailants beating and at one point slashing a victim tied up in a Chicago apartment. During the video of the attack, the suspects are heard saying, “F*** white people,” and “f*** Trump.”
The victim turned out to be a disabled white teen from nearby Rockford, Illinois. A GoFundMe campaign was set up for his benefit days after the reports broke.
Four black residents of Chicago – Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, and Brittany Covington, all 18 years old; and 24-year-old Tanishia Covington – were charged with battery, kidnapping, and hate crimes in connection with the attack.
Chicago police called the incident “sickening.”
“It’s sickening. It makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that. I’ve been a cop for 28 years, and I’ve seen things you shouldn’t see in a lifetime,” police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said. “It still amazes me how you still see things you just shouldn’t. So I’m not going to say it shocked me, but it was sickening.”
NBC News’s Homophobe: 11 Times Joy Reid Bashed Gays
Lip service from anyone, much less a mega-corporation, means absolutely nothing. If you want to understand the values of a person or entity, you have to watch what they do. Yes, it is actually true that actions speak louder than words, and according to the actions not taken this week by NBC News, the left-wing network is making it quite clear that Gay Lives Do Not Matter.
Joy Reid currently works for MSNBC as a political analyst, weekend anchor, and appears on NBC News’s crown jewel, Meet the Press with Chuck Todd.
Like everyone else at NBC, Reid is a hardcore leftist and social justice warrior. But…
Between 2007-2009, Reid, who was then a 40 year-old woman with ten years of experience in journalism under her belt, authored more than a dozen outrageously homophobic posts at her personal site, the Reid Report (that were just unearthed by @Jamie_Maz).
For two whole years, Reid maintained a crusade to personally destroy then-Governor Charlie Crist (R-FL) with the worst kind of hateful gay-bashing I have ever seen outside of a high school, much less from a prominent figure working in the legitimate media. There is not even a close second place.
Although there is absolutely no evidence that Crist (now a Democrat congressman) is homosexual, for two-plus years, Reid was relentless with her gay-hating diatribes. On top of that, she believed she was outing the twice-married (to women) Crist.
Below is the worst of it, much of it in the context of toxifying, vilifying, and disqualifying Crist — the then- popular governor of a crucial swing state — from serving as John McCain’s 2008 running mate against Barack Obama. There is little doubt, Reid was laying the groundwork to personally destroy Crist as a homosexual, should he get the nod.
Outing Charlie Crist with an unproven conspiracy theory:
“Miss Charlie, Miss Charlie. Stop pretending, brother It’s okay that you don’t go for the ladies.”
Using Crist’s (false) sexual preference to disqualify him from public office:
“When a gay politician gets married, it usually indicates that he is highly ambitious, and desires to put himself in a position to move up the power ladder.”
Homophobic name-calling:
On at least 17 occasions, Reid sarcastically refers to Crist as “Miss Charlie.”
Homophobic taunts directed at Crist and his (female) wife:
“Now that he’s married to a girl, Charlie Crist is being sought out for all KINDS of good stuff… [The GOP] are wooing Miss Charlie to run.”
Again:
“I can just see poor Charlie on the honeymoon, ogling the male waiters and thinking to himself, ‘god, do I actually have to see her naked…?’”
Again, this time taunting Crist’s wife after McCain went with a different running mate:
“Oh and if I were Charlie’s fiancée. I wouldn’t bet everything I had on that December wedding. Getting engaged was kind of part of the veep marketing strategy.”
Reid wielding the worst kind of homophobic stereotypes:
“Miss Charlie … would immediately start planning the state funeral down to the last flamingo-shaped napkin and get his decorator to the West Wing faster than you can say ‘George Takei!’”
Disgusting gay-baiting:
“The Florida governor didn’t get tapped by John McCain (get your mind out of the gutter! I meant tapped to be his veep…) and he married a rich lady anyway?”
Again:
“Did I mention Miss Charlie also won’t be on the ticket because he’s gay?”
Reid utilizing the worst kinds of gay stereotypes to mock Crist’s wedding:
“And it wouldn’t be a kind of gay wedding without a guy with a big handlebar mustache in attendance. Thanks, Geraldo!”
More outing by way of a flat-out conspiracy theory:
“But what is most interesting of all is the way [the media] pretend that they don’t all know what they know about Crist’s sexual orientation.”
—
After writing more than a dozen blatantly homophobic taunts directed at Crist, his wife, and the gay population at large, Reid still has her cushy weekend anchor position.
Now, this should in no way be interpreted as a call from me for NBC News to fire Reid.
My point here is to take a look at the actions and decisions made by NBC News as a means to interpret the news outlet’s values and morality, which in this case is painfully obvious…
Endless, hateful, indefensible acts of homophobia are okay with NBC News.
So now we all know how this so-called progressive news outlet feels about gays and about keeping proven homophobes on the payroll.
And this is why NBC News should be given no moral authority about anything. Never forget Chuck Todd’s crusade to destroy Mitt Romney’s presidential chances in 2012 over words uttered by Republican senate candidate Todd Akin — words that pale in comparison to the Gay-Bashing Hate Machine that is Joy Reid.
