Trump Jokes Once Again About Canada Becoming 51st State… But Could It Happen?

/

Donald Trump once again raised the prospect of Canada joining the United States just weeks after he jokingly suggested the idea to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The President-elect has stood firm on America’s neighbors, calling on both Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to address illegal immigration on their respective sides of the border. Earlier in December, he threatened both with a 25% tariff, prompting in swift action by the Mexican Government while Trudeau personally visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the immediate aftermath.

In the early hours of Wednesday, Dec. 18, Trump hinted at the idea publicly following a previous private jibe to Trudeau. On Truth Social, Trump wrote: “No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year? Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!”

Although Trump’s remarks were made in jest, the idea has gained intrigued as to whether Canada joining the United States would be possible. There would, of course, be constitutional matters at hand. Canada would require a significant constitutional amendment, requiring approval from the country’s House of Commons, Senate, and all provincial legislatures. The U.S., meanwhile, would require Congressional approval once Canada had applied for statehood.

Politically, however, the prospect obviously remains unlikely. Trump’s unlikely to admit a territory which overwhelmingly supported Kamala Harris in a hypothetical poll. Plus, who wants to fund their socialized medical system?

Economically, there’s little reason to unify the two nations. Both are members the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, meaning it’s unnecessary to pursue a further degree of economic cooperation.

Nevertheless, the concept is interesting, and intrigued many on social media.  

Canadians were less than supportive of the idea.

Trump Staffer Slams “Pocahontas” After Chief Warren Complains About Elon Musk’s Role in Transition

/

Donald Trump’s administration is going to be a humorous one.

Trump transition spokeswoman and future press secretary responded to an Elizabeth Warren letter to the President-elect by calling her “Pocahontas” – Trump’s nickname for the Senator that boasts 1/1024 Cherokee heritage.

The Massachusetts Sen. queried the rules regarding conflicts of interest in a letter to Trump, specifically Elon Musk’s role in the transition team. She called for further transparency, and wrote:

Putting Mr. Musk in a position to influence billions of dollars of government contracts and regulatory enforcement without a stringent conflict of interest agreement in place is an invitation for corruption on a scale not seen in our lifetimes. As your Transition Team Ethics Plan makes clear, the role of government is not to line the pockets of the wealthiest Americans; a strong, enforceable ethics plan for the world’s richest man is a necessary first step for delivering on that promise.

In response, transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt accused the Democrat of playing politics while referring to Warren’s historic claims of Native American heritage. Adding that Trump had “assembled the most impressive and qualified team of innovators, entrepreneurs, and geniuses to advise and staff our government”, Leavitt said:

Pocahontas can play political games and send toothless letters, but the Trump-Vance transition will continue to be held to the highest ethical and legal standards possible – a standard unfamiliar to a career politician whose societal impact is 1/1024th of Elon Musk’s.

Last month, Musk blasted Warren for criticizing his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The subject of Warren’s suspicious heritage featured across social media in response to the story.

Others loved the remark against Warren.

Trump Tells Trudeau Canada Could Become America’s 51st State

/

Donald Trump reportedly floated the idea of Canada becoming America’s 51st state in a conversation with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The President-elect spoke with Trudeau after threatening to implement 25% trade tariffs on both Canada and Mexican as part of his administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration and the flow of illicit drugs. The Canadian Prime Minister subsequently flew to Mar-a-Lago, a meeting which Fox News reported to be “very productive” – echoing a drastic pledge by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to tackle border crossings after she spoke with Trump.

Trump reportedly expressed frustration over the $100 billion trade deficit between Canada and the U.S, threatening to slap the tariff on Canadian goods from day one of his presidency. Trudeau complained to Trump he can’t implement such a tariff because it would kill the Canadian economy completely. To that Trump fired back asking “so your country can’t survive unless it’s ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion?  – and hilarious floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the U.S if there economy was to fail, which prompted Trudeau to laugh nervously.

The meeting was reportedly amicable and “very friendly,” but also emphasized a new relationship between the United States and Canada come January 20.

Many on social media recognized the light-heartedness of the proposal.

Others were more intrigued by the idea.

Footage Shows Moment Liberal Refuses To Help Hurricane Helene Victim Over Donald Trump Signs

/

Footage has emerged of a liberal volunteer refusing to assist a Hurricane Helene victim due to Donald Trump signs in her front yard.

The interaction was filmed on the Republican’s Ring doorbell, and shows a volunteer walking up to the house with supplies. A barking dog muffles some of the initial conversation, but the victim can be heard saying, “I’m sorry.”

“That’s alright,” replies the volunteer. “I’m really conflicted. I have a lot more stuff to give, but I am not a fan of Donald Trump, so these signs are a problem for me.”

“So, I’m gonna gave to think about it,” adds the liberal as she leaves the property.

The video was filmed on Nov. 26, 2024 – some three weeks after Trump’s victory in the presidential election.

This came following the revelation that FEMA as an agency had ordered storm crews not to help homes with Trump lawn signs.

Many on social media were outraged at the footage.

Others were appalled that political beliefs were obstructing charitable donations.

New Texas College Ditches DEI for “MEI”

/

The Supreme Court Struck down so-called “affirmative action” in 2023. The policy was a mainstay of U.S. colleges and universities. The idea was created in the 1960s when President John F. Kennedy, in response to growing positive sentiment toward civil rights for blacks, decided to create the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity in 1961. In an accompanying executive order, Kennedy used the phrase “affirmative action” to describe the actions he thought American institutions should take to actively correct perceived or real racial imbalances and discrimination. 

It took off like wildfire in the liberal university world. In practice, affirmative action meant that schools were admitting black and other minority students at higher rates than before, even though many or most could not meet the same standards as other students who were admitted. Yes, meaning white students. Affirmative action became so entrenched in American culture that questioning whether it was right or fair to let academically sub-par students into schools (thereby depriving more capable applicants because they were white) would get a person accused of racism. But then again, what common sense statement doesn’t provoke accusations of racism anymore? 

American colleges were doing the Ibram X. Kendi program long before Ibram Henry Rogers (his real name) came along with his racist agenda that he called “anti-racist.” Kendi famously wrote that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” Yes, that’s right. He really did write that. More surprising is how many millions of allegedly sensible Americans went right along with it, agreeing that it was a moral good to discriminate against white people in order to preferentially advance black people. 

The name for this practice is “racism.”

It will take years before colleges truly end race-based admissions, if they ever really do, which seems doubtful. It’s stupidly easy to get around the ban on affirmative action by relabeling the practice and playing dumb. Robert VerBruggen, writing in City Journal, discusses how universities can easily continue to favor minority-ethnic applicants by using different language, and by tweaking recruiting methods. For example:

 At a minimum, top colleges responding to an affirmative-action ban could be expected to expand recruiting efforts and expand preferences for low-income applicants. More aggressively, they might extensively calibrate their socioeconomic preferences to target blacks and Hispanics—such as giving a boost to kids who come from single-parent families or who speak a language other than English at home.

But at least one new college is taking meritocracy seriously; the University of Austin. Over the weekend on 60 Minutes, they profiled that school, which admits on MEI: Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence. 

To quote from 60 Minutes:

In a former Texas department store, the University of Austin, known as UATX, started classes this fall with a say-anything, shout-nothing philosophy. UATX’s motto is “the pursuit of truth.”

The school swaps DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion — for what some call MEI: merit, excellence and intelligence. UATX, co-founded by historian Niall Ferguson, launched with a focus on encouraging free speech and open debate. 

“University forms the way you think about the world for the rest of your life,” Ferguson said. “If our universities are screwed up, and I believe they are, then that will screw up America as a whole quite quickly.”

Faculty members and advisers to the school are an ideological mix including Larry Summers, Steven Pinker, Deirdre McCloskey, Leon Kass, Jonathan Haidt, Glenn Loury, Joshua Katz, Tyler Tyler, Richard Dawkins, among many others.

Give the segment a watch for yourself – it’s something you won’t see at any other colleges in America, with few exceptions.

X users were quick to point out that it should not be controversial to have an admissions policy that prioritizes competence and intelligence. 

Most reactions were positive:

Biased Medical Examiner in Daniel Penny Case Donated Heavily to Democrats

/

The medical examiner in the Daniel Penny case has come under fire for her questionable analysis of the facts, which many viewed as biased against Penny.

The prosecution rested its bogus case yesterday, which centers around whether or not Penny was acting in self-defense in protecting subway passengers from a raving lunatic threatening to kill people. Only in New York City would this even be a subject of debate, let alone a criminal case.

As was the case for George Floyd, Neely had drugs in his system – something the medical examiner didn’t even begin to take into account in her analysis. As the Daily Wire reported:

The New York medical examiner who performed Jordan Neely’s autopsy testified that she determined Neely died from asphyxiation after viewing viral videos of him in a chokehold and without waiting to see a toxicology report.

Dr. Cynthia Harris was the last witness called by the prosecution on Friday, CBS News reported. She testified that, even though Neely had a pulse when police arrived, he still died from Daniel Penny’s chokehold. “This is an asphyxial death. So, in asphyxial death, for lack of a better way of putting it, the brain dies first,” she testified, according to The Washington Times.

Penny’s defense attorneys questioned Harris why Neely’s death certificate originally listed the cause of death as pending further study. Harris said this was due to a misunderstanding from a police report that said Neely had been screaming while police were present. But, after viewing video of Penny restraining Neely in a chokehold and appearing unresponsive, Harris made her determination about the cause of death – without waiting for the toxicology report.

Harris told the defense that even if Neely had enough fentanyl in his system to take out an elephant, she still would have ruled that he died from asphyxiation. 

Does this sound like someone with a political agenda to you?

It sure does to us at Wokespy – and a quick search through the FEC’s individual contribution records reveals that Dr. Harris accounted for $6,600 of the $1 billion that her fellow Harris incinerated before losing to Donald Trump.

In July and August of this year, two contributions of $3,300 were made to the Harris campaign, while $330 was made to ActBlue – and I have no insight on why she only makes contributions in numbers beginning in 33.

This of course leads to an obvious question; can someone who heavily donated to the woman that encouraged the George Floyd riots of 2020 and then raised bail money for people who would go on to commit murders, and backed defunding the police, be trusted as a neutral source in a self-defense case that has become politically coded? To ask such a question answers it.

Trump Unveils “Great American State Fair” Plan To Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday

/

In an ambitious announcement, President-elect Donald Trump revealed plans for a grand, year-long celebration of America’s 250th birthday, set to commence on Memorial Day in 2025 and culminating on July 4, 2026.

The initiative, titled “Salute to America 250,” aims to commemorate the country’s founding in 1776 with nationwide events, bringing Americans together in a display of patriotism and unity.

“Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history, 250 years of American independence. What a great country, and we have to keep it that way,” Trump said. “That’s why, as a nation, we should be preparing for a most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time.”

Trump’s plan begins with the formation of a White House task force, “Salute to America 250,” which will coordinate with state and local governments to ensure the celebrations span the entire year, not just July 4.

“On day one, I will convene a White House task force called Salute to America 250. It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day, 2025 and continuing through July 4, 2026.”

A key element of the plan is the creation of the “Great American State Fair,” a unique exhibition Trump envisions as a gathering of pavilions from all 50 states.

Trump has suggested the Iowa State Fairgrounds as a potential location for this showcase. “The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the union, promote pride in our history and put forth innovative visions for America’s future,” Trump explained.

“My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa State Fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world.”

In addition to the fair, Trump outlined plans for “Patriot Games,” a series of high school sporting contests designed to showcase young Americans’ athletic skills and competitive spirit.

“These Patriot Games will allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skills, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit,” Trump said, emphasizing the role of high school sports in fostering unity.

The celebration will also see the reinstatement of the “National Garden of American Heroes,” a project that had been previously announced but was never completed.

Trump committed to signing an executive order to commission the first 100 statues in the garden, honoring prominent figures from American history. “We want to build it very badly,” Trump remarked, describing the statuary park as a tribute to “the greatest Americans of all time.”

Furthering his vision for a global celebration, Trump extended an invitation to leaders and citizens worldwide to visit the United States for the 250th anniversary. “I will invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of our 250th anniversary. It’s going to be great,” Trump said.

Republicans Emerge Victorious From GarbageGate

/

Donald Trump issued a garbage truck-sized middle finger to Joe Biden after the Democrat called described MAGA supporters as “garbage.”

The President’s comments came amid a row over a joke at Trump’s Maddison Square Garden rally on Sunday, Oct. 27, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as an “island of garbage”, prompting Democrats to quickly pounce and slam his remarks.

Republicans endured a tumultuous Monday as a result of the joke. Many kept quiet when questioned, with several in areas with Latino populations distancing themselves from the quip.

By Tuesday, though, things had changed. As Harris symbolically spoke outside the White House in her “final” pitch, attention of the nation was focused on what was going on inside the President’s residence, as footage emerged of Biden criticizing half of the nation.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters,” Biden told a Latino voters’ group.

Whether Hinchcliffe’s joke was wise in such a hotly contested election is open to debate. Nevertheless, the remarks of a comedian are undoubtedly less pertinent than those of the President, particularly when so much outrage was thrown around in the hours before.

Trump has also seized upon the opportunity, attending his Greenby, WI, rally in a garbage truck featuring American flags and a Trump logo.

“Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself, if he even knows what he’s doing,” Trump donning a garbage collector’s uniform which he would later deliver his entire rally in.

Trump’s response wowed social media users.

Others noted that Vivek Ramaswamy had also joined in with the fun.

Security Of Ballot Boxes Questioned After Three Fires In One Night

/

The security of mailbox drop-in ballots has been called into question after a series of fires across multiple states.

Fires in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, have raised questions after multiple, isolated incidents pertaining to be apparent arson attacks. The three attacks in the Democrat-strongholds occurred on Monday, Oct. 28, with authorities linking them to a similar incident on Tuesday, Oct. 8.

 “We do know acts like this are targeted and they’re intentional and we’re concerned about that intentional act trying to impact the election process,” Portland Police Bureau Chief Assistant Chief Amanda McMillan said in a statement on Monday afternoon. “We’re dedicated to stopping this kind of behavior.”

Footage of the Vancouver fires quickly spread on social media, with users noting that one of the fires took place in the Republican-leaning Clark County.

In Portland, the attack seemed to cause less damage with only three ballots affected, according to Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott. Officials said the ballots were identifiable, with most protected by fire suppressant.

And in both cases, a leftist was behind it.

Speculation was rife when footage of the fires was shared online days ago before the motives of the perpetrators were known, and it’s looking like every conservative got it right:

Others cast doubt on the security of drop box voting.

Conservatives Love Golf Club’s New Pro-Trump Food Menu

/

A golf club in Texas has gone viral for its pro-Donald Trump menu – much to the annoyance of liberals online.

Woodforest Golf Club, located in Montgomery, added the new items to its Woodforest Grille restaurant. A photo of the new menu was soon shared on social media, particularly for users’ fondness for several items.

The “Kamala Word Salad” is described as, “Old, wilted lettuce topped with communist croutons from China. Dressing: signature sauce – bitter.”

Meanwhile, the $15 “Trump Burger” is a “Good ‘ol American burger ½ lb. patty, 100% USA, grade A beef, sourdough bun, crispy lettuce, ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and a patriotic pickle,” and is served with “freedom” fries. On the other hand, the $99 “Biden Burger” is “topped with a lousy rotten tomato slice” and served on old buns which, “due cheating & inflation,” are currently out of stock. A side does not come with this dish.

When Chron asked for comment, the golf club said it was “a joke”. Nevertheless, liberals have taken offence, with many targeting the club’s Yelp reviews.

Conservatives, however, saw the funny side.

Others were particularly fond of the Trump Burger.
