Democratic politicians are distancing themselves from the Biden administration’s electric-vehicle push to prevent the unpopular slate of subsidies and environmental regulations from tipping Michigan to their Republican opponents.
Addressing rally-goers in Flint, Mich., earlier this month, Kamala Harris insisted that the Trump campaign is misrepresenting her record on electric-vehicle mandates.
There are 306,110 federal government-issued smartphones in circulation right now. Canadians can be assured that many government decisions are being made on these devices, particularly through messaging apps.
But how many of these discussions are taking place on disappearing messaging apps, which evade the country’s transparency laws?
Food inflation has become a pressing concern for Canadians as they witness soaring prices at their local grocery stores. To explain the causes and culprits for this, some media outlets have turned to the trending theory of “greedflation,” blaming price hikes on the insatiable desire of corporate leaders to acquire more.

Grow your own fruit and veg – and destroy the planet. Allotment produce, much prized by proud food-growing citizens the world over, has six times the ‘carbon’ footprint of conventional agriculture, according to a recent paper published by Nature. “Steps must be taken to ensure that urban agriculture supports, and does not undermine, urban decarbonisation efforts,” demand the authors. What have these people been smoking? Surely not some of the puff circulating at the recent Psychedelic Climate Week in New York. Highlights included a discussion on funding ketamine-assisted therapy and a panel on ‘Balancing Investing and Impact with Climate and Psychedelic Capital’.
Christopher Rufo reports that a German plagiarism hunter has discovered that Kamala Harris’s first book, 2009’s Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer, is filled with plagiarized material and even a made-up citation. There’s something poetic about the fact that Joe Biden’s vice president and wannabe successor is a plagiarizer, given that Biden’s 1987 presidential run was wrecked over that same vice.
One of the least-noted defining moments of the early twenty-first century came in the wake of the 9/11 jihad attacks, when President George W. Bush insisted that the Islamic world held the same values that the West held, and so if a few political adjustments were made, the problem of Islamic jihad terrorism would disappear, and the world would enter a new period of harmony and peace. The only problem with this vision was that the basic premise was false: the prevailing values in much of the Islamic world are quite different from those of Westerners, as a prominent Muslim cleric once again recently demonstrated.
Vice President Kamala Harris launched into a bizarre explanation about stars and constellations to explain former President Donald Trump’s actions.
During an interview with Roland Martin released Monday, the commentator asked Harris to react to former Trump’s frequent derision of big cities with large black communities, like Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
‘I talked with somebody once who said, ”You know, if you just look at where the stars are in the sky, don’t look at ’em as just random things,” she said. ‘If you just look at ’em as points, look at the constellation – what does it show you?”
KAMALA: "I talked with somebody once who said, 'You know, if you just look at where the stars are in the sky, don't look at 'em as just random things. If you just look at 'em as points, look at the constellation — what does it show you?'"

She’s High.
The Battle of Northern Gaza confirms that Hamas and its woke apologists are the greatest threat to Palestinians.
Many grim things are happening in northern Gaza right now, as Israel puts the screws on Hamas. But there’s one thing in particular that leapt out at me from this bloody showdown between the Israel Defence Forces and the army of anti-Semites that started this infernal war with its pogrom of a year ago. It’s a thing that isn’t being widely reported. A fact you will need to dig deep to find. You certainly won’t spy any mention of it in the toilet of Israelophobia known as social media. It’s this: the IDF is pleading with Palestinian civilians to leave northern Gaza, while Hamas is instructing them to stay.
Way back in the ancient time of 2015, Matt Drudge found himself befuddled about why he was suddenly seeing actress Amy Schumer everywhere, when he didn’t find her particularly funny, insightful, or enjoyable. “Who is Amy Schumer? Where did she come from? Why is she being force-fed on population?” (The actress is Chuck Schumer’s cousin, and looking back I wonder if Drudge was implying that family connections were a driving force behind her then-burgeoning fame.)
Siege engines are not stealthy.
Relatedly, it is time to pull the plug on Amazon’s Tolkien adaptation. There was much to complain about in season two of “The Rings of Power,” but the nadir might have been a squadron of siege engines rolling out of the woods in a surprise attack against Eregion. This might seem a minor quibble given the failures of plot, characterization, and dialogue that have plagued the series, but it encapsulated the show’s complete indifference to even basic competence.
I was certain that MAGA hating racialized gay elves was the way Tolkien himself would have envisioned the story.
RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme is warning of widespread violence, homicides and a public security threat linked to agents of the Indian government.
A senior government official with knowledge of the situation says Canada has expelled six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner, as a result.
The Trudeau government harbours Khalistani terrorists, what a shit show.
In the late 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, Gordon Todd — who grew up on a dairy farm in southern Quebec — flew practice missions in an RCAF CF-104 Starfighter, to prepare for the day when war might break out between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact along the line that demarked Communist eastern Europe and the NATO nations to the west.
Polls polls everywhere, and not a drop to think …
After a week off in sunny SoCal, it seemed like a good time to take a look at polling in the presidential contest. As it turns out, not much has changed, especially at the national level, although the small changes that have emerged favor Donald Trump. A new NBC News national poll shows Trump in a dead heat with Kamala Harris, a five-point shift in the month since their previous survey. ABC/Ipsos went from Harris +4 in September to +2 last week; CBS went from +4 to +3 Harris.
Three weeks out from one of the most consequential presidential elections in history, something truly exceptional has become clear: if Donald Trump were a tropical storm, he could crash across vast portions of the United States, sending down torrents of rain, pushing streams over their banks, sinking entire neighbourhoods in waist-deep rivers of brackish water, and 50 per cent of Americans caught in the deluge wouldn’t admit they were wet.
