MAKE CHILE GREAT AGAIN! Pro-Trump Conservative Jose Antonio Kast Wins Chile’s Presidential Election (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/make-chile-great-again-pro-trump-conservative-jose/

Conservative Jose Antonio Kast has been elected as Chile’s next president, defeating his communist opponent and joining Latin America’s rightward surge.

Kast, a conservative hardliner and supporter of President Trump, won over 58 percent of the vote in a runoff against leftist candidate Jeannette Jara, who received less than 42 percent, with more than 99 percent of the ballots counted.

“Here, no individual won, no party won, Chile won, and hope won,” Kast told supporters during his victory speech on Sunday evening.

”The hope of living without fear,” he continued. “That fear that torments families.” Continue…

Erika Kirk Reveals the Conspiracy Theory Spread by Candace Owens that She Fears will Taint the Jury Pool – Owens Fires Back at Erika Kirk (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/erika-kirk-reveals-conspiracy-theory-spread-candace-owens/

The war between Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, and the controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens has escalated to a new level following comments made by Erika last night.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Erika Kirk sat down for a CBS News town hall after an interview with Fox News host Harris Faulkner. The town hall was moderated by CBS’s new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss.

Erika Kirk said people who celebrate her husband’s assassination are “sick” and said the internet has dehumanized people.

“He’s a human being. You think he deserved that? Tell that to my 3-year-old daughter,” Erika Kirk said, fighting through tears.

At another point during the town hall, Erika Kirk revealed she was very worried that conspiracy theories spread by outsiders, including Candace Owens, could taint the jury pool and potentially set Robinson free.

One theory spread by Owens is that Egyptian military planes were tracking Charlie and Erika Kirk over the years, and up to Charlie’s assassination by pro-trans leftist Tyler Robinson. By making this assertion, she has seemingly suggested that foreign forces played a role in the killing.

There is no evidence to support this claim.

Erika Kirk specifically cited Owens’ theory while laughing off how ridiculous she believed it was. Continue…

iRobot Crashes After Filing For Bankruptcy, Chinese Owner Emerges

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/irobot-crashes-after-filing-bankruptcy-chinese-owner-emerges

Some of us may be old enough to remember when iRobot released its first robot vacuum, the Roomba, in 2002. Nearly 25 years later, the company has ceased to exist, collapsing into bankruptcy, with its remaining assets and intellectual property set to be acquired by a Chinese competitor.

How did iRobot implode, only for a Chinese company to end up cleaning American homes?

It began when European Union competition regulators blocked Amazon's proposed takeover of iRobot, cutting off what some Wall Street analysts saw as the company's last realistic path to survival. It is also worth noting that the Biden administration's FTC Chair, Lina Khan, was aligned with the EU's position. Continue…

Cocaine: Local Cultivation, Global Consumption

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cocaine-local-cultivation-global-consumption

Although cocaine is consumed in every part of the world, its base, the coca plant, is mainly cultivated in three Latin American countries: Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.

As Statista's Anna Fleck details below, according to figures by UNODC, Colombia was responsible for almost two thirds of the total coca cultivation area in 2023 at 253,000 hectares.

Peru came in second with 93,000 hectares, while Bolivia ranked third with 31,000 hectares.

When looking at the cocaine market from the users' perspective, North America had the largest estimated share of people reporting having consumed cocaine in 2023, with 6.5 million or 26 percent of total global users of the drug.

Overall, the Americas made up just under half of estimated cocaine users worldwide according to the UNODC data, while in Europe and Asia, the estimated number of cocaine users stood at 6 million and 3.4 million, respectively.

Reports: JetBlue Flight Avoids “Midair Collision” with U.S. Air Force Plane Near Venezuela

https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2025/12/15/reports-jetblue-flight-avoids-midair-collision-with-u-s-air-force-plane-near-venezuela/

A JetBlue Airways pilot over the weekend said he narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. Air Force plane near Venezuela, several outlets reported.

The incident, the Associated Press reported, occurred on Friday just off the coast of Venezuela and involved JetBlue Flight 1112 from Curaçao en route to New York.

“We just had traffic pass directly in front of us within 5 miles of us — maybe 2 or 3 miles — but it was an air-to air-refueler from the United States Air Force and he was at our altitude,” the pilot reportedly said. “We had to stop our climb.”

According to the pilot, the U.S. Air Force plane then headed into Venezuelan air space.

CBS News reported on Sunday that the JetBlue pilot is heard saying “We almost had a midair collision up here” on a recorded conversation with air traffic control.

“They passed directly in our flight path. … They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous,” the pilot said. Continue…

German chancellor with Nazi family past likens Putin to Hitler

https://www.rt.com/news/629449-merz-compares-putin-hitler/

Friedrich Merz’s grandfather was a politician in the Third Reich

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, whose grandfather was a member of the Nazi Party, has compared Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler.

Merz’s maternal grandfather, Josef Paul Sauvigny, served as mayor of Brilon in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia from 1917 to 1937. Initially a member of the conservative Center Party, Sauvigny joined Hitler’s NSDAP after the Nazis came to power in the early 1930s.

Speaking at a Christian Democratic Union conference in Munich on Sunday, Merz accused Putin of seeking to restore the borders of the Soviet Union.

“If Ukraine falls, he won’t stop. Just as the Sudetenland was not enough (for Hitler) in 1938, Putin will not stop either,” Merz said, referring to the moment when Britain and France allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia. Continue…

Ukrainian police academy hosts Hitler admirer

https://www.rt.com/russia/629483-ukraine-academy-nazi-lecture/

Aleksey Levkin, a notorious neo-Nazi militant fighting for Ukraine, gave a speech at the National Academy of Internal Affairs in Kiev

An institute overseen by Ukraine’s Interior Ministry has apparently provided a platform to Aleksey Levkin, a notorious neo-Nazi militant and Hitler admirer, who had previously taken part in raids on Russian border regions.

On Sunday, Levkin posted on Instagram that he and another figure linked to the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), a group of Russian nationals fighting on Ukraine’s side, had given a lecture at “one of Kiev’s higher-education institutions.” RDK is designated as a terrorist organization in Russia.

He published photographs from the event, which appear to show that the venue was the National Academy of Internal Affairs in Kiev, an institution coordinated by the Interior Ministry. The academy has not issued any public confirmation of the event.

Born in Russia, Levkin is best known as a neo-Nazi activist and frontman for the National Socialist Black Metal band M8l8th, or ‘Hitler’s Hammer’, whose imagery and lyrics make heavy use of Nazi symbolism. The group also frequently expresses admiration for Hitler and other figures associated with Nazi Germany.

Levkin has also openly engaged in far-right extremism and was arrested by Russian law enforcement in the mid-2000s, charged with inciting violence, attacking foreigners, desecrating cemeteries, and committing several murders. He avoided jail time after being deemed mentally unstable, but later participated in the 2014 Maidan coup. In 2015, he fled from Russia and moved to Kiev to continue his far-right activities.

WARNING: This article contains allegations of child abuse that may be upsetting to some readers.

The trial of two Ontario women accused of murdering their foster son continues in a Milton courtroom today following disturbing allegations that emerged during last week’s court proceedings.

Brandy Cooney and Becky Hamber have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the 2022 death of a 12-year-old boy known in court as L.L., whom they were in the process of adopting.

The women are also charged with assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, and failing to provide essential care for L.L.’s younger brother, known as J.L. A publication ban is in place to protect the identity of the indigenous brothers who had been in the care of Hamber and Cooney since 2017.

Cooney, 43, and Hamber, 45, have pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Several unsettling allegations have come to light during the judge-alone trial in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Milton, Ont., since the proceedings began in mid-September. Continue…

Canadian businessman jailed in U.S. over AI chip smuggling plot called a national security danger

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/canadian-businessman-called-national-security-danger-as-u-s-scrambles-to-keep-him-in-prison-before-trial-in-china-ai-chip-smuggling-plot

Prosecutors are fighting a judge's bail order for Benlin Yuan, who is accused in a US$50M plot to smuggle restricted Nvidia AI computer chips to China

Federal U.S. prosecutors in two states are scrambling to keep a 58-year-old Canadian businessman locked up until his trial, saying he poses a danger to national security and there is no other way to stop him fleeing.

That depiction of Benlin Yuan, of Mississauga, Ont., stems from Yuan’s arrest and alleged role in a US$50-million plot to smuggle restricted high-tech Nvidia computer chips used in artificial intelligence processing into China, and follows a judge’s unexpected order granting Yuan release on bail.

Prosecutors in Virginia delayed his release while prosecutors in Texas argue it is a serious mistake that will cause irreparable harm.

Yuan was born in China and moved to Canada with his wife 20 years ago, settling in Ontario. He became a Canadian citizen and worked in information technology. Yuan and his wife have a daughter and for the past decade he has been travelling back and forth between Mississauga and Sterling, Virginia, for work.

Yuan was arrested in Sterling on Nov. 28 and charged with conspiring to violate export controls, although it wasn’t announced at the time.

Almost everything now known about the case happened in secret at proceedings taking place under a court order of confidentiality, which was lifted last week. Continue…

Ontario Sees 157% Increase in People Starting ADHD Medications

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ontario-sees-157-increase-in-people-starting-adhd-medications-5958441?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-1

The number of people receiving prescriptions for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Ontario has risen more than 157 percent in less than a decade, with a marked increase among adults.

A study published in JAMA Network Open this week analyzed all prescriptions for stimulant drugs like Ritalin and Adderall that were dispensed in the province from 2015 to 2023. Researchers found there was a 157 percent rise in the overall annual new stimulant prescriptions by 2023 compared to 2015.

Researchers at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), North York General, and The Hospital for Sick Children said the number of prescriptions for ADHD treatment grew throughout the study period with a notable acceleration in 2020, when COVID-19 lockdowns began. Prescriptions increased by 28 percent annually that year, compared to just 7 percent from 2015 to 2019.

“The rapid increase in stimulant use, particularly in adults, underscores the need for enhanced clinical training and evidence-based guidance in adult ADHD diagnosis,” the report said. It noted that findings in United States testing were similar, but that the Ontario study “reveals a broader and more accelerated increase in stimulant prescribing.” Continue…

Canada releases new digital ID app for personal documents despite privacy concerns

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canada-releases-new-digital-id-app-for-personal-documents-despite-privacy-concerns/

The new GC Wallet is supposed to be a 'foundational component' of a controversial yet-to-come digital ID system.

Despite clear signs that most Canadians do not want a national digital ID, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly released a new type of digital ID app on Google’s Play Store called GC Wallet.

The new app appeared on Google sometime late last week and was developed by Canada’s Employment and Social Development department. This is the same department, as reported by LifeSiteNews, that recently said it would move ahead with digital identification for anyone seeking federal benefits, including seniors on Old Age Security.

The new GC Wallet, say officials, is a “secure and convenient way to store and access your official digital credentials,” allowing users to keep important documents on it, such as temporary visas along with pilot licenses, and has an offline QR code function built in.

According to the government, the new GC Wallet is supposed to be a “foundational component” of a yet-to-come digital ID system that most likely will be expanded to a variety of documents.

The app was blasted on X by Kyle Kemper, the half-brother of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Continue…
