Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?It’s here. American Thanksgiving. While most of our friends south of the border look at the late-November holiday and think NFL when it comes to sports, most Canadians view it through a different lens. They examine the NHL standings – hoping that their team is above the playoff line. Why? Since realignment occurred over a decade ago, 80% of the teams that are in playoff spots at Thanksgiving qualify for the post-season. For those that are mathematically challenged, that’s 13 out of 16 teams. That was the case last season as well as Edmonton, Nashville and the New York Islanders were the only teams to make the playoffs despite being on the outside looking in on Nov. 23, 2023. Last year on that date, the Vancouver Canucks had 27 points and only the Vegas Golden Knights — with 30 — had more. The Canucks performance in those first 20 games basically clinched a playoff spot. This season the Canucks haven’t been as fortunate. Not having the services of all-star goaltender Thatcher Demko since the start of the season due to a knee injury was the first issue that the hockey club had to deal with. Dakota Joshua also missed the first 14 games recovering from off-season cancer surgery. Brock Boeser suffered what appeared to be a concussion on Nov. 7 and missed seven games but was set to return to the lineup in Boston against the Bruins on Tuesday night. Then there’s J.T. Miller, who took a leave of absence on Nov. 19 for personal reasons. Add it all up and it’s a Canuck team that has been treading water without their three All-Stars from a year ago. After Monday’s games, Vancouver was below the playoff bar with 23 points, trailing both Colorado and Edmonton by one point for the two wildcard spots. The Canucks are also two points behind the Los Angeles Kings for third place in the Pacific Division. The good news with all of these scenarios is that the Canucks have played the least number of games — 19 — of any team in the National Hockey League entering Tuesday’s game versus Boston. They have three games in hand on Edmonton, Colorado and Los Angeles. However, the question remains: will the Canucks make the playoffs? Many assume once the team gets 100% healthy, they will find a way to get it done but you know what they say about people who assume. Let’s start with Demko, the 28-year-old who compiled a 2.45 goals-against-average and a .918 save percentage last season to go along with 35 wins in 51 games. Since March 10, he has played a grand total of four games; that’s four games in eight months. After such a lengthy layoff, the biggest concern for Demko will be timing and getting used to the intensity level of NHL games. As we often say when it comes to football, nothing duplicates game speed. For Demko, getting used to the speed and regular chaos of NHL games will be a challenge. Then there is Boeser, who had been out of the lineup for almost three weeks after taking a headshot from Tanner Jeannot in a game against the Kings in early November. Hopefully, there won’t be any lingering symptoms from that injury and Boeser can regain the pace that saw him score 40 goals last year and which he was duplicating this season with six goals in 12 games. As for Miller, when he does return, what player will the Canucks be getting? His play had dipped to the point where he was benched for the last 14:40 of the third period in his final game versus Nashville on Nov. 17. Miller’s production had waned with only six goals and ten assists in 17 games – well off the levels from a year ago when he tallied 37 goals and 66 assists. Then there are other issues that are of concern as well. The second defensive pair of Tyler Myers and Carson Soucy has struggled this season to the point where the organization is checking in with other teams as they look to get help for their blue line corps. What has compounded the problem is that Tocchet has emphasized since training camp that he wants his defencemen to be more involved in the offense and generating more chances. That doesn’t exactly fit into the skill set of either Myers or Soucy so it’s been noted that the Canucks are talking to other teams with Pittsburgh’s Marcus Pettersson being a player of interest. Although Pettersson is a solid defender, he’s not exactly the answer to the Canucks problems when it comes to offence from the back-end. While we are on the topic of Petterssons, the enigma known as Elias Pettersson will need to regain the form that saw him be a dynamic play-driver who scored 30-plus goals the last three seasons. Tocchet and the organization wanted to see more of an investment from Pettersson and the Swede has shown signs of improvement with four goals and six assists in his last seven games. There are other positive signs as well. Quinn Hughes continues to play at a Norris Trophy-calibre level while Kevin Lankinen has provided consistent goaltending during Demko’s absence. Conor Garland continues to play like Conor Garland and Pius Sutter and Teddy Blueger continue to provide good depth while new additions Kiefer Sherwood and Erik Brannstrom have exceeded expectations. Given what we know about the U.S Thanksgiving Day playoff trend, it’s not a slam dunk that the Canucks will make the post-season but it’s not a slam dunk they won’t either. Unlike last year when the team had enough of a cushion in the standings to play games pressure-free for the most part in the second half, it appears they won’t have that luxury this season. As Tocchet always likes to say, things are going to just keep ‘getting tougher’ and the Canucks are going to have to ‘embrace the hard’ as they deal with the grind of an NHL season. Their playoff hopes will depend on it.

The only thing standing in their way: archrival No. 3 Texas. Texas A&M and Texas will meet for the first time since 2011 on Saturday night at Kyle Field where a frenzied crowd expected to exceed 110,000 will welcome back a storied rivalry that dates to 1894. “We know that this is going to be history if we make it,” Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed said. “And... a lot of people don’t have faith and didn’t have faith just because it’s the first year with the new coach, new OC, new DC, all the things and kind of a rebuild season (but) we’re here now and we’ve got a chance to go make this opportunity what we want it to be.” The winner advances to face No. 6 Georgia on Dec. 7 in Atlanta. “I think it’s great for college football that this game with us and them is going to matter on a grander scale than what’s just happening in the state of Texas,” Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian said. “But I also know how much it means to every household in the state of Texas.” Texas A&M is looking to bounce back after dropping a four-overtime thriller at Auburn last week. Texas has won four straight after its only loss of the season against the Bulldogs on Oct. 19. “You hope to get to the last game of the year playing for everything,” said Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, who was hired after Jimbo Fisher’s firing last year. “And we’re in the last game of the year and playing for everything.” The Longhorns will face a hostile crowd that has waited more than a decade for payback after Texas came to Kyle Field for the last meeting in 2011 and left with a 27-25 victory. “It’s probably going to be like the Alabama game, the Notre Dame and the LSU game on steroids,” Texas A&M linebacker Taurean York said. Texas has plenty of recent experience in dealing with tough road crowds. The Longhorns beat Alabama at home in 2023 and won at Michigan and Arkansas this season. In all, Texas has won 10 straight on an opponent’s home field. “I mean, it’s going to be amazing,” Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron said. “You know, these are the type of moments you live for.” Though these Longhorns and Aggies were all in grade school the last time these teams locked horns, the players all seem to get the gravity of this rivalry. “At first some of the guys weren’t fully grasping what this game means and how important it is,” Texas A&M offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III said. “But now that we’ve gotten close and now it’s game week, I think everyone understands how big this game is and how much they need to lock in and focus for this game.” Stories by Robert Fenbers How to watch Oregon football FREE STREAM today (11/30/24) Alabama vs. Auburn FREE STREAM today: Where to watch Iron Bowl How to watch Ohio State football vs. Michigan FREE STREAM today
There are thousands of migrant criminals roaming the streets of Gotham, the head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s NYC field office told The Post. “In New York City, it would take a lifetime to clear the city of the criminals that we have” if the status quo remains the same, Kenneth Genalo said Friday in his first interview since Donald Trump was elected president. “We need additional resources,” insisted the 33-year ICE veteran who oversees nearly 400 staffers as regional director of the NYC-area office. “The fact is that I have to focus all of my resources on the worst of the worst, the most egregious violators. All I can tell you is we have leads that we work every day — and it’s not in the hundreds,” added Genalo, all but admitting for the first time that the number is in the thousands. Of the nearly 7.8 million illegal immigrants in the United States, 662,586 are convicted felons or havecriminal charges pending, the agency said of data through July 21. More than 223,000 migrants have poured into the Big Apple since the immigration crisis began in the spring of 2022 — and at least 58,000 are still being cared for by taxpayers in city-funded shelters. ICE did not provide the exact number of criminals among them. Genalo wouldn’t say how the agency will transform under Trump, who plans to launch a mass deportation of illegal, criminal migrants after being sworn in as president in January. But he’s so “frustrated” over New York’s sanctuary laws preventing migrant criminals from being rounded up and deported under his watch that he wants to testify before the City Council and “educate” it’s far-left majority about the damage these policies are doing. “The only people they’re shielding are the criminals, and they’re shielding the criminals from us,” Genalo said. He continued: “The majority of these crimes that are being committed are against the most vulnerable people in the community, and that’s the migrant females and the migrant children. I don’t understand how they believe sanctuary policies are helping or assisting.” Genalo said immigration-law enforcement in NYC was all but thrown out the window when avowed Marxist Bill de Blasio became mayor. In 2014, de Blasio teamed up with the Council and signed a bill into law barring the NYPD from working with federal immigration officials when they’re seeking to boot dangerous migrants from the US. Then, in 2018, he took it a step further by issuing citywide guidance and new NYPD protocols to codify the Big Apple’s policy of not cooperating with the feds. The revisions have had serious consequences. Murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered by an illegal migrant who had been in custody in NYC on child-endagerment charges but set free, might still be alive if the woke rules were not in effect, critics have told The Post. In February, Mayor Eric Adams called for the sanctuary rules to be loosened so migrants “suspected” of “serious” crimes could also be turned over to ICE. However, he doesn’t have the political support needed on the City Council to change the laws. “The mayor knows we need to cooperate,” said Genalo. “He sees what’s going on in New York City, and he wants help from the federal government.”

Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?
Gaetz withdrawal from AG nomination is among quickest in history
Is conflict in Ukraine shifting in Russia’s favour? In 2024, Russian forces seized nearly six times more territory than in 2023, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), as reported by BBC. The advancing Russian troops are concentrating and gaining territory in eastern Ukraine. The conflict after 1000 days and with republican Donald Trump, the new President-elect in the United States who is supposed to take the administration’s reign on January 20, 2025, is reshaping. Meanwhile, in the last two months of President Joe Biden’s rule, the United States approval of allowing Kyiv to use long-range missiles against deep Russian positions is increasing the threat of more sophisticated weaponry going to be tested or used against each other on the battlefield. Long-Range Missiles Enter the Fight Kyiv received a morale boost this week with US President Biden’s approval and the deployment of US-supplied long-range missiles. Now Ukraine, with the help of long-range missiles, are desperately going to strike deep into Russian territory to attempt to disrupt the Russian supply lines. Analysts suggest this move could help Ukraine hold onto contested areas like Kursk, which may serve as bargaining chips in future negotiations. However, introducing these advanced weapons escalates the tension and increases the risks. In the past, Russia has been warning against Western military support, cautioning of consequences if long-range missiles are used that could provoke further retaliation in all those countries helping and supplying weapons to Ukraine. Russia also has warned to use a strong response and even demonstrated it. On Thursday, Russians responded with a long-range ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro and warned of more retaliatory actions. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country has a stockpile of advanced Oreshnik hypersonic missiles “ready to be used,”. In an unscheduled television address, Putin claimed the missiles, capable of travelling at ten times the speed of sound, are virtually impossible to intercept and promised further testing in “combat conditions.” The strike on Dnipro, described by media quoting witnesses as highly unusual and involving powerful ballistic weaponry, marked a new escalation in the conflict. Ukrainian officials called the missile’s impact to that of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Meanwhile, Ukraine for the first time earlier used long-range missile strikes on Russian territory with U.S.-supplied ATACMS and British-supplied Storm Shadow systems. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is further urging Western allies to deliver advanced air defence systems, including the U.S. THAAD and upgrades to Patriot systems, to counter these threats. Both developments reshape the conflict’s undercurrents and warn about its future. Russia’s campaign has so far focused heavily on key logistical hubs in the Donbas region. The ISW estimates that Moscow’s forces have captured around 2,700 square kilometres this year, compared to just 465 square kilometres in 2023. Recent gains include areas near Kupiansk in Kharkiv and Kurakhove in Donetsk, both critical for Ukraine’s supply lines. Kupiansk, once liberated by Ukraine in its 2022 counteroffensive, is now under severe pressure. Russian troops are reported to be just a couple of kilometres from a key bridge into the city. In Kurakhove, Russia is attempting to encircle Ukrainian defenders, inching closer to the strategic hub of Pokrovsk. Some of the media has reported that they have already captured the area and one can see Russian flags hurling on several buildings and bridges. Experts warn that Ukraine’s eastern defences may struggle to hold. Dr Marina Miron of King’s College London told the BBC that the eastern front could face collapse if Russian advances continue unchecked. Russia’s advances have come at a steep cost. According to BBC analysis, over 78,000 Russian soldiers have died since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Losses have been especially severe in recent months, reflecting what some analysts call a “meat grinder” strategy—waves of recruits deployed to exhaust Ukrainian defences. Ukrainian losses are also substantial, though official numbers vary widely. The Russian Ministry of Defence has given figures of over 33,990 Ukrainian soldiers who have died in the Kursk region alone. The number of casualties and destruction highlights the brutal nature of the conflict. The U.S. decision to supply Ukraine with antipersonnel landmines has further drawn criticism for risking civilian casualties and marks another shift in American policy on the controversial weapon. Officials argue the mines are essential to slowing Russian advances, but anti-landmine campaigners say that 164 countries have already banned the use of landmines and it should not be encouraged in any circumstances. In addition, Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region in August marked a bold strategy. At that time, Kyiv briefly gained control of several border areas, aiming to draw Russian forces away from the eastern front. However, the operation has stalled. Russia has since deployed 50,000 troops to the region, regaining much of the lost territory. Dr. Miron has called the operation a “tactical success but a strategic failure,” noting that it diverted some of Ukraine’s best units from the more critical eastern front. Instead of slowing Russia’s advance in the Donbas, the operation has tied down resources at a crucial time. The support Russians are getting from North Korea is also helping Russian troops in advancing. North Korea has sent thousands of soldiers to support Russia, and Ukrainian forces say they have faced these troops in battles in Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukraine controls some areas. U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed he approved Ukraine’s use of longer-range ATACMS missiles to strike targets inside Russia in response to Russia using North Korean troops in the war. The Bigger Picture Russia’s recent gains have strengthened its negotiating position. The ISW estimates that Moscow now controls over 110,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory. By contrast, Ukraine’s territorial gains in its Kursk incursion are shrinking, with Russia retaking nearly half of what Kyiv initially seized. The conflict’s human toll also continues to grow. The Russian government has allocated $58.7 million to support residents in the Kursk and Belgorod regions affected by Ukrainian shelling. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at G 20 meeting in Brazil while speaking to the media last week accused France of direct participation in the war, citing its training of Ukrainian troops and supply of advanced missiles. Russia has revised its nuclear doctrine , expanding the conditions under which it might deploy its arsenal. The approval of the Russian Doctrine shift coincides with Washington’s decision to allow Ukraine to fire long-range US missiles into Russian areas. The updated policy now considers an attack by a non-nuclear state, if supported by a nuclear-armed ally, as grounds for a nuclear response. Additionally, large-scale conventional attacks on Russia, Belarus, or threats to critical sovereignty could meet the threshold. As per the state-run TASS news agency, the changes and shift in strategy broaden the scope of potential nuclear targets and escalate the stakes of any coalition-led aggression. Political observers see Russia’s assertive nuclear posture as an action in response to Western provocations. Chances are that Russia, as a deterrence act, may wheel in tactical nuclear weapons closer to NATO’s borders. This could be further dangerous that might further escalate the conflict. This doctrine shift introduces a new phase. Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson in a veiled warning urged the nations to analyse it carefully. Meanwhile, Moscow has warned that US involvement via advanced weaponry could be interpreted as direct participation in hostilities. What Comes Next? The war’s trajectory remains uncertain. While Russia has momentum, its progress is slow and costly. Ukraine, for its part, continues to resist, employing strategic withdrawals to preserve its forces for a prolonged fight. The hope from the elected United States President, Donald Trump adds further unpredictability. The US president-elect has promised to end the war within 24 hours of taking office, though he has not explained how he is so confident on the issue. The world keeps its hope on Donald Trump now. The question remains, will the US cut military aid to Ukraine, shifting the balance of power on the battlefield? However, it is certain that as the conflict continues as it has already surpassed 1,000 days, both sides are likely positioning themselves for eventual negotiations holding some strength to bargain. For now, the war’s outcome will depend on who can sustain their efforts longer, a question with no easy answer.
