Bruce Springsteen’s Absolute Betrayal

Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is merely the latest Springsteen EPK (electronic press kit) directed by Thom Zimny, who has been a fixture of the pop star’s entourage for 25 years. (Zimny’s lugubrious Letter to You was released in 2020.) But this behind-the-scenes concert-tour film has been timed for release two weeks before the election; it’s part of the ABC-Hulu-Disney+ conglomerate’s election-interference strategy, as was its notoriously biased September 10 presidential-candidate debate.

Will the Russia-Ukraine war escalate into a global conflict?

Military chiefs believe that the fighting in Ukraine could break into a multinational war as North Korea sends troops to Russia for training.

A wider conflict had been thought inconceivable but Pyongyang’s dispatch of up to four brigades, amounting to 12,000 troops, marks a worrying trend, according to one senior western government source.

The deployment highlights the emergence of a power block opposing the West, one “willing to trade lives and money to forge an axis of aggression that risks the very foundations of the international rules-based system”, the source said, referring to a “deadly quartet” of Iran, North Korea, Russia and China.

I Was Giddy When The FBI Raided Mar-A-Lago, But Now I’m Voting For Trump

By most metrics, I’d be categorized as a young conservative. I am a 22-year-old college student. I interned for a Republican in the U.S. Senate. I was elected president of my former college’s Republican club. No one would mistake me for a progressive activist.

But if you had asked me a year ago about the 2024 presidential election, I would have told you that I was hopeful the Republican Party would move on from Donald Trump. In fact, I would have supported Joe Biden before backing Trump, even though I did not like much of anything about Biden.

Draft evasion scandal could derail Ukraine’s war effort

The draft evasion scandal currently engulfing Ukrainian officialdom has far-reaching implications. It raises hard questions both about the country’s ability to sustain the war, and what it will look like after the conflict. For while the wealthy and well-connected can bribe or bully their way out of service, many ordinary youths are simply hiding or trying to escape abroad. Consequently, the methods being used to round them up are becoming increasingly harsh.

Canada: Antisemitic UN Special Rapporteur to Palestinians to Speak at University of Toronto

Francesca Albanese is infamous for her antisemitism. She has an extensive curriculum vitae, but her official position is “United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Long before the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, she was a part of the UN and media bombardment of propaganda regarding Palestinian victimhood, Zionist oppression, the “occupied territories” and the like. Albanese seized on October 7 with further vitriol against the Jewish state. Her hatred of Israel is so open and virulent that in July 2024, even the anti-Israel UN opened up a probe into allegations that she took funds from pro-Hamas lobby groups. Of course, the UN is unlikely to conduct a full or completely honest investigation into someone who shares its institutional views. Nevertheless, the UN finally did admit that it paid for Albanese’s anti-Israel lobbying trip to Australia and New Zealand. During her visit, Albanese also participated in media and fundraising events, as well as in meetings with pro-Palestinian politicians and civil society members.

Anti-Trump ‘poop’ statue erected on National Mall after sign-off by government agency

Looks more like Kamala

An anti-Trump “poop” statue has been placed on the National Mall in Washington DC after being granted a permit by a government agency.

The excrement sits on a bronze replica of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk on the strip of land that hosts some of the city’s most iconic monuments, and in view of the US Capitol.

The satirical display was granted a permit by the US National Park Service (NPS) with less than two weeks to go until election day on Nov 5.

The recriminations that follow a Kamala defeat will be delicious

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is in trouble, which means we may be in for one hell of a post-election fireworks show. 

If she loses the presidential election, there will be intra-Democratic Party in-fighting unlike anything we’ve seen before. The recriminations will be extraordinary. There will be finger-pointing, backstabbing, excuse-making and an air of panic that will make even the sleazy, widespread gossip-peddling that followed the late Senator John McCain’s defeat in 2008 look tame. 

How do we know this will happen? Because it has happened before, albeit on a smaller scale.

Jesse Kline: Toronto Star paints a skewed picture of Trudeau’s immigration cuts

Reporter claims ‘Canada is relinquishing its welcome mat,’ when in fact we are returning to pre-pandemic levels

In 2017, when our fresh-faced prime minister was still under the mistaken impression that incessant virtue-signalling was a reasonable way to run a country, Justin Trudeau issued a proclamation to the world’s huddled masses: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” Canada, in other words, was instituting an open-door immigration policy, in contrast to the United States, where president Donald Trump had just signed an executive order intended to curb Muslim immigration.

Chinese Hackers Are Said to Have Targeted Phones Used by Trump and Vance

Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into American communications networks targeted data from phones used by former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Investigators are working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed by the sophisticated penetration of telecom systems, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an active and highly sensitive national security case.

Be on the look out for CIA Chong, NSA Chin and FBI Chan.

Harris Struggles to Distinguish Candidacy From Biden

Majority of voters say she would largely continue the unpopular incumbent’s approach and policies

WASHINGTON—Vice President Kamala Harris has presented herself as the candidate who will help the nation “turn the page” and chart a “new way forward” after a tumultuous period marked by polarization under former President Donald Trump.

But three months after she replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket, Harris has struggled to explain how she would differ from him and their unpopular administration—and voters have noticed.

Explosions in Iran as Israel launches air strikes

Israel launched multiple air strikes on Iran in the early hours of Saturday, in response to what the Israeli military called “months of continuous attacks” from Tehran and its proxies.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says Iran has been “relentlessly attacking Israel” since 7 October 2023.

The IDF’s confirmation of strikes on Iran followed earlier reports by Iranian state media of several explosions in and around the capital, Tehran.

Chairman Chow concerned new federal immigration cuts will slow Toronto’s makeover into a 3rd World Shithole

Mayor Olivia Chow concerned about new federal immigration cuts

When Chow was asked what these cuts could mean for the city and whether she has concerns, she was quick to raise what it could mean for family reunification.

“I am concerned about all of those people that have been waiting to bring their mom and dad to Canada … I’m worried about refugees in refugee camps waiting to come and join their loved ones,” she told reporters.
