Trump Has Clear Edge on Handling Israel, Ukraine Wars, WSJ Poll Shows
WASHINGTON—With wars in Ukraine and the Middle East looming over the U.S. election, voters give former President Donald Trump the edge over Vice President Kamala Harris on who would better navigate the country through both conflicts, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll of seven battleground states.
Trump leads Harris among swing-state voters, 50% to 39%, on who is best able to handle Russia’s war in Ukraine and has a wider advantage, 48% to 33%, on who is better suited to handle the Israel-Hamas war. The Republican nominee has pointed to his tenure in the White House as a time of relative peace around the world and has claimed—without providing details—that he could resolve both conflicts quickly if he wins in November.
WTF?
Everyone who paid attention in high school history class knows that Trump's anti-immigration language is the language of fascists and white supremacists throughout history. pic.twitter.com/GvrbOfa9oB

Report says at least 55 children died or disappeared at B.C. residential school
… It says no confirmed human remains have been found to date while telling skeptics there is an “overwhelming abundance of evidence” supporting the legitimacy of the investigation that is being compiled in a scientific way.
WTF?

Cory Morgan: Feds Must Crack Down on Extremist Anti-Israel Protests on Canadian Streets
Anti-Israel demonstrations began sprouting up across North America within days of the terrorist attack upon Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The demonstrations were initially large, and many demonstrators claimed they were seeking to promote peace in the Middle East. They continually told us they wanted to encourage a two-state solution and wanted what was best for people in the region. Anti-Jewish sentiment kept slipping out of the protests but we were assured those were just minority voices who spoke out of frustration with the conflict.
Nope, the “Vocal Minority” ruse just doesn’t work.
The Muslim vote is much too important for Justin to offend so expect nothing to be done.
The return of al-Qaeda and Islamic State
The operation went almost without a hitch. Swooping low over the horizon in the early dawn light, the helicopters disgorged their cargo of commandos into a dried-out riverbed.
Surveillance drones guided them successfully to the enemy’s remote hideouts. The resistance was intense, the insurgents they encountered wore suicide belts and hurled grenades.
But after hours of fierce fighting, the mission was clearly a success. Among the 14 enemy dead were four of the movement’s leaders.
Some Liberal MPs are mounting a new effort to oust Justin Trudeau
MPs were pulled into meetings across Parliament Hill this week to sign a pledge demanding change at the top
Pressure is building on the prime minister and his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are co-ordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader, multiple sources have told CBC News.
Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection loss in June.
Those talks accelerated with Parliament’s return and the Montreal byelection loss. They escalated further this week with the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.

WARMINGTON: Jewish girls school in North York shot up for second time in recent months
It’s open season on Jewish people and Jewish targets in Toronto – even on their holidays.
Another day, another hate crime directed to Jews in the city. Shooting up a Jewish school not once but twice is horrific, but to do it at Yom Kippur – the holiest day on the Jewish calendar – is diabolical.
However, this is the Toronto we now live in. When it comes to the treatment of Jews, it is ugly, violent and dangerous.
How Harris Bombed Her Media Blitz
Michael Dukakis shows up in a tank. George H. W. Bush checks his watch during a debate. John Kerry says he was for the $87 billion for Iraq before he was against it. Mitt Romney writes off the 47 percent of voters who receive government benefits. Hillary Clinton lambastes the deplorables.
Such moments brought clarity. They defined the candidates. They laid out the stakes. They changed the story.
San Francisco’s progressive racism
Xenophobic activists are battling gentrification
The ugly xenophobia that has cropped up in certain corners of the GOP has an unusual cousin in an unexpected place.
The progressive Mission District in San Francisco has become ground zero for a form of Lefty nativism that scorns newcomers and most forms of economic growth. In a city renowned for its inclusive diversity and technological innovation, it is here that a bitter racialised activism has taken root.
Conrad Black: Giller Prize must not cave to terror-supporting elites
It is one of the clear signs of the aimlessness and moral decay of a society when large and representative groups of its intellectual class vocally support disreputable or even evil causes. In the same measure, it is a sign of a society’s fundamental strength when its intellectual leaders defy the majority and at some risk to themselves support righteous causes when they are oppressed by the authorities. In this last category are such heroic figures as Edmund Burke approving the American revolutionaries and disapproving the French revolutionaries, Wilberforce and Lincoln championing the emancipation of slaves, Emile Zola and Georges Clemenceau upholding Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, and the many culturally prominent supporters of civil rights in the United States from Dorothy Parker to Leonard Bernstein. A special case, commanding respect, are those eminent intellectuals who remain fundamentally loyal to a regional or national civilization even as they recognize that it is in important respects morally insupportable. This would apply to Albert Camus in respect of French Algeria, and William Faulkner in regard to the white Mississippi of olden times. (Both authors were awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.)
Meet Kamala’s Palestinian Best Friend Who Changed Her Mind on Israel
“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.
Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.
