BREAKING: Trump to Meet Putin Again.

OH, CANADA: Concordia tight-lipped on ‘kill them all’ post about ‘Zionists.’

Someone presenting themselves as a Montreal professor took to social media on the weekend to suggest a peculiar approach to dealing with “hardcore Zionists.” The advice: “Kill them all.”

The comment was made in response to a post on the Instagram account for Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME). That post features an image of McGill University, with text referring to a vote by the faculty association endorsing a Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign against Israel: “BDS Victory: McGill Faculty Vote to Endorse the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel.”

One user, whose account appears to share a name with a Concordia University professor, commented: “My hardcore Zionist colleagues (kill them all, as they say) from the math department at McGill will roll on the floor tearing their shirts and screaming antisemitism. Well, as they do everyday.” The comment ends with three vomiting emojis.

National Post has chosen not to name the professor at this time because the university has refused to verify whether the person presenting themselves as a faculty member is employed by Concordia.

That’s the right thing for a paper like the National Post to do, but I take the university’s silence as a tacit admission that the professor is who he or she claims to be.

HARDBALL: Netherlands Seizes Chinese Semiconductor Firm. “The fact the Dutch government so readily acceded to U.S. requests suggests that the case against Nexperia was pretty substantial, and the specter of possibly open conflict with an increasingly bellicose Russia may have played a factor in their decision making. Nailing down key supply chain components, no matter how lowly, is both far-sighted and suggests there’s more to this situation than meets the eye.”

ALL THE BEST PEOPLE TOLD ME THIS WASN’T TRUE:

California did indeed give comprehensive Medicaid benefits to all illegal immigrants, free of charge, making it harder for our own citizens to get an appointment.

“Freeze,” not “eliminate.”

More agencies and departments should be run by people who want to shut them down. Close to all of them.

CORRECT:

The U.S. has more rare earth minerals than any nation on Earth—an estimated $12 trillion worth.

But thanks to endless permits, lawsuits, and land bans, we depend on China and Russia for critical materials.

We don’t have a mineral shortage—we have a leadership shortage. pic.twitter.com/MX61aQrlx3

AXIOS: Dems plot Fetterman ouster.

Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.

Why it matters: Democrats haven’t flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He’s still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.
Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman — and each other — years ahead of schedule.
Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a Senate bid in the event he retires.
The big picture: Democrats who could run against Fetterman include Reps. Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio and former Rep. Conor Lamb, according to multiple political insiders in Pennsylvania.

1️⃣ Boyle has been loudly critical of Fetterman on TV and social media, calling him “Trump’s favorite Democrat” and accusing him of visiting the president at Mar-a-Lago to “kiss the ring.”
2️⃣ Deluzio has been cultivating a national brand as a young populist leader from the Rust Belt.
3️⃣ Lamb has won the praise of progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for repeatedly attacking Fetterman, who beat Lamb in the 2022 Democratic primary.
The other side: When Axios began reporting on this story, Fetterman texted, “Enjoy your clickbait!”

Asked a follow-up question, Fetterman said, “Please do not contact.”

Maybe more people should reply to Axios with a non-reply.

But this from X is priceless:

Democrats thought it was awesome to have a scalloped potatoes brain in the Oval Office for four years but heaven forefend Senator Fetterman pivot to being something like a 1990’s Democrat.

LESS THAN HOPED FOR BUT NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT: DOGE says that it has created $210 billion in taxpayer savings. “The site breaks down savings from various categories like asset sales, contract and lease cancellations or renegotiations, fraud elimination, grant terminations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory relief, and workforce reductions. Roughly 30% of this total is detailed in DOGE’s ‘wall of receipts,’ which lists specific actions such as the termination of 13,440 contracts worth approximately $61 billion, 15,887 grants worth $49 billion, and 264 leases worth $113 million. The remaining savings are unitemized, with DOGE noting that full documentation is delayed due to regulatory requirements and lags in public databases like the Federal Procurement Data System.”

CONSTITUENT SERVICES: About Those ICE Detainees: Why Are Democrats Working so Hard to Defend Hardened Criminals?

ALL IN THE FAMILY: Letitia James’ ‘fugitive’ grandniece at center of NY AG’s bank fraud rap goes on fib-filled Facebook rant.

Letitia James’ fugitive grand-niece at the center of the federal indictment against the New York attorney general posted a boastful, fib-filled Facebook post after her extensive criminal record became national news.

“For all inquiring minds no I’m not in trouble havent been in years at all,” wrote Nakia Thompson, 36.

She claimed her extensive rap sheet dating, back nearly 20 years, including two charges of assaulting cops, was “OLD AS HELL” and “fabricated.”

“Very much a active mother to my children everyday, work everyday, and very much in college and about to graduate with my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice,” she wrote, omitting that she was arrested for felony larceny with her kids in tow as recently as 2019.

She would have been about 30 at the time — hardly a youthful indiscretion.

More: “The criminal case against James comes down to whether Thompson paid rent after moving into the property. In mortgages docs, James listed the house as a ‘second home’ where she would be the primary resident.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Academia Is Still the Problem and It Must Be Destroyed.

The pièce de résistance, however, is what happens to those minds that go to college.

The ivory tower academics who are shaping the future of this country are avowed America-hating commies who have made a fortune decrying capitalism. They tell impressionable kids that all we hold dear here in the United States is wrong and that the worst actors in the rest of the world are the good guys.

And they make the kids rack up crippling debt in the process.

As always, read the whole thing.

JON CALDARA: Colorado’s increasing EV subsidies belie ‘budget crisis’ claims.

Colorado’s governor just made this statement “The market has made it clear, EVs (electric vehicles) are here to stay.”

I agree with him. Electric cars, unlike 8-track tapes and rotary-dial phones, will continue to be available to consumers for a long, long time. Cool. But why he made the statement puzzles me. He did so while touting his decision that the state will increase one of its subsidies to buy a new EV from $6,000 to $9,000.

Wait a second. Which one is it? Has the market made clear electric vehicles are “here to stay”? Or do we need to increase the EV subsidy by a third to keep its market alive?

And it begs another question: If the state is in a budget crisis, why spend our very scarce money buying people cars instead of providing core governmental services? Oddly, it’s the governor’s decision alone.

During the recent special session, instead of doing their constitutional job of setting budget priorities, the state legislature booted that power to the governor. This hard-left legislature, that screams President Donald Trump has too much executive authority, just gifted their highest authority to Colorado’s chief executive.

Colorado Democrats govern as though they’ll never be out of power — and at the rate my state is declining, they might be right.

ICYMI: Milk Carton Diplomacy: Have You Seen These Two Men? “There are two big dogs that didn’t so much as whimper while President Donald Trump remade the Middle East (at least a little) in his own peace-loving image.”

HMM: Beijing’s Military Diplomacy Is Making Major Gains.

Military diplomacy can accrue significant soft and hard power advantages. In peacetime, it helps build goodwill, capacity and influence networks within foreign militaries. During conflict, it can enhance familiarity with preparedness levels, doctrine and command, or even underpin interoperability between forces. A cadet who trains abroad often carries that experience into senior leadership, shaping how a country thinks about security, alliances and even arms purchases.

China has always regarded the importance of military diplomacy as a critical element in how it engages with other countries. In LAC, however, these considerations often took a back seat to economic ties. Yet, China’s ambition to extend military cooperation with the region emerged in the Foreign Ministry’s 2008 Policy Paper, and was later reinforced in the country’s 2016 Policy Paper, which stated: “China will actively carry out military exchanges and cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean countries … in such fields as military training, personnel training and UN peacekeeping, [and] expand pragmatic cooperation in humanitarian relief, counter-terrorism and other non-traditional security fields.”

The policy papers explain why, a decade ago, China began a concerted effort to draw closer to LAC in the defense and security domain. It did so by launching the China-LAC High-Level Defense Forum, under the umbrella of the China-CELAC Forum, which deliberately excludes the U.S. and Canada. Over the past 10 years, this initiative has produced white papers and road maps for the region’s defense and security cooperation, while the ties have also thrived under non-traditional paths, such as the start of the China-LAC Military Medicine Forum.

Weird how China started playing in Latin America not long after then-SecState John Kerry pronounced the Monroe Doctrine dead.

But having quieted things down a bit in the Middle East — with Xi and Putin forced to the sidelines — Trump seems to be turning more of his attention to our own backyard.

Good.

ICYMI: You Realize, of Course, This Means War (With Trump).

SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE IS IN REMISSION: Delay-prone F-35 program was led by DEI advocates, rewarded by Biden for late deliveries.

Major defense contractors prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion while regularly missing deadlines related to a multitrillion-dollar aircraft modernization effort. Despite this, they received sizable bonuses designed to incentivize on-time delivery from the Biden administration.

Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney were the two primary contractors tasked with assisting the Defense Department in “fielding and modernizing” F-35 fighter jets. Aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Martin ranged from a low of 16 days late on average in 2021 all the way up to an average of 238 days late in 2024, according to a new Government Accountability Office report. Jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, meanwhile, only managed to deliver two engines on time for the entire period between 2021 and 2024 while working on the modernization effort.

Despite this, the GAO report notes that the duo of defense contractors received “hundreds of millions of dollars in incentive fees that were intended to improve on time delivery.”

A review of social media and other public web pages shows that contractors were heavily invested in DEI, at times directly within the F-35 program, while chronically failing to meet the Pentagon’s deadlines.

But everyone involved had up-to-minute personal pronouns, and I assume any kickbacks were equally timely.
