Read The Opponent Not the Polls

For recovering politicians, this is the most dangerous time for a relapse, especially those living in a swing state. Their televisions, radios, and social media are chock with political news and ads. This can spark a recrudescence of old vices, such as arguing at the top of one’s lungs at an offending ad or slanted news story, and, worse, then conjuring a way to counter it and win the election for their side. It may even spur them to contact old friends still in the political arena and urge them to incorporate their “unexpectedly” inspired idea into their campaign. Such a loss of realistic expectations and understanding of what others are going through constitutes sure signs the poor creature is reverting to a politician’s solipsistic mindset.

Finally, a leader who’s willing to fight the culture war

Kemi Badenoch is the anti-Kamala, just the breath of fresh air the Western world needed.

Imagine if, a few years ago, you had told the wet leftists of the British establishment that one day there’d be a black woman in charge of a major political party and that they would freak out about it. That instead of celebrating this final breakthrough for race relations, these self-styled progressives would be bitterly murmuring into their muesli that ‘She’s a bit abrasive’ and ‘God help us now’. They’d have refused to believe you. Yet here we are. Kemi Badenoch has won the Conservative Party leadership contest and becomes the first black person ever to lead a major party in Britain. And the left ain’t happy.

I admit to keeping only a half an eye on the Conservative leadership race given that past results have been so disappointing.

Similar to our history with Canada’s PC’s GB’s Conservative party hasn’t been for some time instead fielding a revolving door of leaders who quickly abandoned any promises that resonated with the public.

Kemi has said lots of good things lets hope she means it.

Well that didn’t take long – Labour MP shares post saying Kemi Badenoch represents ‘white supremacy in blackface’

Pro-Palestine activists steal busts of Israel’s first president from Manchester University

Pro-Palestine vandals have stolen two busts of Israel’s first president from a glass cabinet at Manchester University.

Palestine Action seized the sculptures of Chaim Weizmann as part of a string of co-ordinated attacks to mark the 107th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration on Saturday.

Arthur Balfour, then foreign secretary, outlined plans to form “a national home for the Jewish people” in a letter to Lord Rothschild, which was endorsed by the Government on Nov 2 1917.

Islamophobia! Pakistani man denied Canadian status over two wives gets another chance

Pakistan Child Bride

A Pakistani man denied permanent resident status in Canada after an immigration officer discovered he had two wives has won another kick at the can, courtesy of the Federal Court.

It’s not that the court condoned polygamy, but it found that the man’s case was complicated and an immigration officer was being “unreasonable” when they failed to try and understand the circumstances that lead to the man being married to two women at once, for a time.

I’m pretty sure the court will enforce sharia as marriage like so many of our institutions has been devalued to accommodate progressive degeneracy.

Six Trump voters on why they’re backing him in 2024

Donald Trump arrived in Washington as a political outsider in 2016, upending US politics, reshaping the Republican Party and engaging previously disengaged voters.

He became the first president to be convicted of a crime and still falsely claims the 2020 election was stolen from him.

But he continues to draw strong popular support on the issues that top voter concerns, such as the economy and immigration.

Six of his supporters explain his enduring appeal as he makes his third White House run.

Tlaib declines to endorse Harris at UAW rally in Detroit

Detroit — U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Detroit declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the presidency Friday at a United Auto Workers union rally as Democrats made a late appeal to get union voters to the polls.

Tlaib, one of few high-ranking Democrats who have not endorsed Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, was among the speakers for the UAW’s rally on the lawn of Solidarity House in Detroit. Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has been critical of the Biden administration’s stance on Israel’s war on the militant group Hamas in Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel that killed mostly civilians.

Dead-heat poll results are astonishing – and improbable, these experts say

The US presidential election campaign enters its final weekend with polls showing Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in seemingly permanent deadlock and few clues as to which of them will prevail on Tuesday.

At the end of another unruly week that began with Trump’s racially charged rally in New York’s Madison Square Guardian and was punctuated by celebrity endorsements, misogynistic comments and insults about “garbage” being levelled left and right, the Guardian’s 10-day polling average tracker showed little change from seven days earlier, with voter loyalty to their chosen candidate appearing relatively impervious to campaign events, however seismic.

Nationally, Harris, the Democratic nominee, has a one-point advantage, 48% to 47%, over her Republican opponent, virtually identical to last week. Such an advantage is well with the margin of error of most polls.

Jordan Peterson interview: ‘We are weak in the West compared to the Islamic fundamentalists’

What has fame done to Jordan Peterson? Eight years ago he was a clinical and research psychologist at Toronto University, highly cited but publicly little known. Today he is a conservative mega-star, a YouTuber with 8.3 million subscribers and two best-selling books, (including his 2018 book 12 Rules for Life) that push self-improvement, of the “make your bed” and “stand up straight” variety.

He promotes a rugged and self-confident masculinity. Many young men love him. A fellow in my gym couldn’t name the chancellor, but he knows who Jordan Peterson is.

CSIS hiring for diversity within ‘all levels’ of agency

A recent job posting from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) explicitly states the agency is hiring summer co-op students based on diversity.

CSIS told the Western Standard the DEI policy is in place because the intelligence agency believes it appropriately represents Canada’s population.

DEI Is Crushing Military Recruitment

Veterans worried about the quality of leadership are counseling young family members not to join up.

The veteran community has lost faith in the country’s national-security leadership. The military is a family business—80% of volunteers have a family member who served. Three years into a recruiting crisis, however, the Pentagon hasn’t specifically surveyed this core constituency to determine what’s going wrong.

Pew surveys in 2011 and again in 2019 found approximately 80% of veterans would advise young people to join the military. We recently commissioned a demographically representative YouGov survey of 2,100 veterans. Our data show the share of veterans recommending military service plunged 20 percentage points in five years, to just 62%.

Trio of Polls in Key States Give Harris Slight Edge, but More Accurate Private Polls Reportedly Tell a Different Story

Vice President Harris has some reason to feel better about the so-called Blue Wall states in the closing days of the 2024 election from public polling.

However, private polls– commissioned at great expense by the campaigns and kept confidential–are reportedly not showing new momentum for the vice president. Private polls are believed by the statistics community to be more accurate.

Assisted suicide is being used to relieve people of poverty, isolation and social suffering. This is not OK

This, from a report issued by the Ontario chief coroner’s office on how medical assistance in dying (MAID) is being carried out in this province:

Mr. A, “a male in his 40s,” was suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. He also had “a history of mental illness, previous episodes of suicidality, and ongoing alcohol and opioid misuse.” No one offered him treatment for his addictions, but a psychiatrist gave him information about MAID. He was approved for death under what’s known as “Track 2” — cases where death is not reasonably foreseeable. A MAID provider personally drove him to the place where he was given an assisted death.

“If you establish and apply the principle that you can kill ‘unproductive’ fellow human beings then woe betide us all when we become old and frail!… it is only necessary for some secret edict to order that the method developed for the mentally ill should be extended to other ‘unproductive’ people.” ~ Bishop Clemens August Graf von Galen

Global Threat: The Biden-Harris Administration Is Enabling Iran to Become the Next Nuclear State

One of the most alarming features of the Biden-Harris administration is its permissive stance towards Iran’s nuclear program. When this administration came into power, they promised that they would effectively address and curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Yet, nearly four years into Biden’s term, US Secretary of Stare Antony Blinken announced that Iran is “probably 1-2 weeks” away from having nuclear weapons — and that was in July.

Iran is now just a technical step away from acquiring a nuclear bomb, and these advances have been taking place while the Biden-Harris administration has done not a single thing to stop or even slow them.

Five cities, including London, driving human trafficking in Canada: Report

London ranks among five metro areas in Canada that together account for nearly half of all human trafficking reports in the last decade, a new snapshot of the crime shows.

There were 570 cases of human trafficking reported to police in Canada last year, down slightly from 597 in 2022, according to a Statistics Canada report released Friday.

Despite the slight decrease in the latest human trafficking report, cases have been on the rise for the past decade, with more than four-fifths recorded in large urban areas, the report said.
