Kamala Harris is torn between Michigan’s Jewish and Arab voters

Al Quds Day Dearborn Michigan

Future Coalition PAC, a Republican-led super PAC funded in part by Elon Musk, has been running conflicting adverts targeting Arab and Jewish voters.

In Pennsylvania, the PAC published an ad portraying Kamala Harris as unsupportive of Israel and sympathetic to anti-Israel protesters, saying: “Jewish voters must say, ‘No more.’” But in Michigan, the Future Coalition PAC ran an ad with the opposite message in an apparent effort to dissuade Arab-Americans from supporting the Vice President. “Harris has made herself clear. She stands with Israel and the Jewish people […] Supporters of Free Palestine, they hate her,” it read.

I’m pretty sure which side Kamala is on.

Voting to topple the government not out of the question, says Liberal MP Ken McDonald

A Liberal Newfoundland and Labrador MP who has signed a letter calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign says going against the government on a non-confidence vote isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Ken McDonald is one of a reported 24 MPs who signed the document calling for Trudeau’s resignation, following a sharp drop in leader and party popularity.

The letter was presented to Trudeau at the party’s national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

Something’s gotta give.

Bjorn Lomborg: Twenty years of scare stories in the name of climate alarmism

Looking back on more than 20 years of climate agitation, two themes emerge: campaigners’ stubborn unwillingness to acknowledge any inconvenient science and the continual cycling of scare stories, first elevated and then dropped by the wayside. The one constant: a fixation on frightening the public that has led to bad climate policies.

GIESBRECHT: National Geographic joins indigenous pile-on of Canada, Catholic church

Film critics and viewers should not have to fact check a National Geographic documentary. But in the case of ‘Sugarcane,’ they do.

Independently produced by award-winning investigative journalist Emily Kassie and co-directed by Julian Brave Noisecat, ‘Sugarcane’ is an emotionally powerful film that is beautifully shot and edited. After a win at various film festivals, notably Sundance, it was picked up for distribution by National Geographic .

Why Hollywood liberals are punishing Clint Eastwood for his politics

Around this time of year, every film studio pays a vast amount of money for a series of adverts that go in the trade press, marked ‘For Your Consideration’. These are designed to promote the films that they believe have the highest chance of making a serious splash in the awards season, but also double up as a means of keeping talent happy.

It is unlikely, for instance, that Joaquin Phoenix stands any serious chance of repeating his Oscar win for Joker with its failed sequel, but its studio Warner Bros will still campaign on his behalf, just as it will be going into bat for the commercially unsuccessful Mad Max sequel Furiosa and its sole recent big hit, the Beetlejuice follow-up Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Nate Silver Reveals What His Gut Says About the Election

Famed left-leaning pollster Nate Silver is making a prediction based on his “gut” on what’s going to happen in the election coming in less than two weeks.

“In an election where the seven battleground states are all polling within a percentage point or two, 50-50 is the only responsible forecast,” he wrote. “Since the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, that is more or less exactly where my model has had it.”

Trudeau government claims it’s going to slash immigration levels …

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government will announce a dramatic immigration cut Thursday, reducing new permanent resident numbers by almost 100,000 in 2025 after years of consecutive increases to the country’s immigration targets.

Barring any last-minute changes, information obtained by National Post shows the government is planning to decrease permanent resident intake from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025. It is then expecting to further cut intake to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.

These so called cuts are Bullshit given the damage done and the numbers here already.

They’ll find some other program to juice migrant intake and pretend it accidentally got away when found out.

China could not dream of a better ally than Justin Trudeau

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to suffer diplomatic and political fallout for accusing India, without solid evidence, of complicity in the murder of Sikh militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose extradition India repeatedly requested. Nijjar immigrated illegally to Canada using a false passport and then used his Canadian perch to establish a terrorist training camp, blow up a crowded cinema in India, and seek targeted killings of rivals and Indian government officials.

Even if India had ordered the hit on its own Osama bin Laden, and there is no conclusive evidence it did so, Nijjar seems a curious sword on which Trudeau should fall.

The Brilliant McDonald Trump

He is going back to the White House.

Readers have been pestering me for months as to who is going to win the election. You will remember that in 2016 I made a fool of myself when I cast my vote early for Donald Trump, the greenhorn Republican, who had never run for anything before.

The day after the election, it turned out that the entire media had been wrong. Donald won. I had been right. I was of course ignored by everyone save the noble Ben Smith of BuzzFeed.

Then in 2020 I upset the placid waters of the bovine media by saying Donald would win again. He lost, but not by much. And the election was controversial. In fact, it was the most controversial race of my lifetime. I held my tongue, and now the 2024 race is heading toward the finish line. Who will win?

She is a vile woman.

Reparations Forever – New York City follows California’s lead.

New York City recently took a small step forward in correcting historical wrongs—at least, that’s what lawmakers would have you believe. The city council has passed a legislative package that would “fully examine the present-day impacts of injustices inflicted on Black New Yorkers and communities” and “advance necessary efforts to consider potential remedies that can lead to healing and reconciliation.” These bills, now bound for the desk of Mayor Eric Adams for his signature, include the establishment of “a Truth, Healing and Reconciliation process on slavery within New York City” and a “reparations study” to determine how much money is owed to black New Yorkers because of slavery, abolished statewide in 1827.

Tom Mulcair: What’s Justin Trudeau’s track record on Quebec separatism?

With the old threat of Quebec separatism rearing its head with the Parti Quebecois on the rise in the polls and its leader promising a referendum on Quebec sovereignty if he’s elected, thoughtful commentators have been fretting of late about the possibility of a third referendum(opens in a new tab).

I’ve got good news for them: it’s not going to happen.

That’s not to say that separatism is dead. It ain’t. What is worth noting, though, is that it’s still stuck in the 33% range(opens in a new tab) where it’s been for decades.

‘The House With Nobody In it’ – In Washington D.C.?

“The House with Nobody In It” by Joyce Kilmers (1886-1918), brings to mind a certain house in Washington, D.C. — the White House. Our White House is not just a residence, it is a command post. The Free World depends on it. If there is no apparent occupant, how will the U.S. contend with threats to our allies and us?

China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are “the new ‘Axis of Evil,'” according to Politico, hardly a right-wing outlet. How worried should we be? Probably very.

National security cited as B.C. drone engineer’s devices seized

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has granted an extraordinary order to seize electronic devices from a former employee of a Lower Mainland company specializing in anti-drone technology — citing fears China or Russia might be trying to access military secrets.

Documents contained in a partially sealed civil court file detail a scene in early September in which nine people — including bailiffs, lawyers, and representatives of Burnaby-based Skycope Technologies — descended on the man’s home to seize laptops, phones and storage cards.

Skycope got the order against its former employee — known as XL — in a closed-door hearing where the company alleged the electrical engineer had handed a foreign competitor confidential information sought by unfriendly state actors.

Gustavo Gutiérrez, Peruvian priest and ‘father of liberation theology’, dies at 96

Gustavo Gutiérrez, the influential Peruvian priest known as “the father of liberation theology” and hailed as a “prophet of the poor”, has died in Lima at the age of 96.

Gutiérrez, a theologian and Dominican friar, was a celebrated – and sometimes controversial – proponent of the idea that the church needed to side with the poor and to fight to improve their lot.

Liberation theology, which emerged in the turbulent Latin America of the 1960s and 1970s, argued that the church had a duty to push for fundamental political and structural changes that would end poverty.

Francis is a fan.
