ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis on Friday slammed both U.S. presidential candidates for what he called anti-life policies on abortion and migration, and he advised American Catholics to choose who they think is the “lesser evil” in the upcoming U.S. elections.
“Both are against life, be it the one who kicks out migrants, or be it the one who kills babies,″ Francis said.
There’s no love lost between Joe and Kamala. Biden can’t talk about it, because of the “deal” but the MAGA hat…AGAIN, speaks volumes. https://t.co/CP5UvVounW

But …
Is Biden carrying a MAGA hat?
No
Is he carrying a very similar red hat in front of cameras to send a message to Kamala?
Yes
Looks like Biden is starting his revenge tour

Canada’s progressive experiment is disintegrating into a thousand pieces before our very eyes.
On Thursday morning, B.C. Premier David Eby announced that he would consider scrapping the provincial consumer carbon tax if Ottawa made it possible.
This comes less than a year after he declared that British Columbia would be the last stand of Canada’s carbon taxes, come hell or high water, and follows his federal counterpart, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, signalling that he will oppose the current version of the tax.
So the feminists — the terfs, the bigots, the bullies — were right. According to a report commissioned by Rape Crisis Scotland, Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC) has not been putting rape survivors first. For the past 16 months, women-only services have not been made available for those who need them. Meanwhile, ERCC’s former chief executive officer, Mridul Wadhwa, has now resigned after being accused of “not understand[ing] the limits of her role” and “fail[ing] to set professional standards of behaviour”.
The cost of housing an inmate in a federal prison reached $428 per day last year, according to Statistics Canada, though actual expenses are significantly higher when factoring in additional costs such as equipment and staff pensions.
Blacklock’s Reporter says StatsCan’s data on Operating Expenditures For Adult Correctional Services revealed that the annual cost per inmate in federal penitentiaries amounted to $156,220.
Quebec may have taken a notable step this week that warrants attention from other provinces. By introducing Bill 72, Quebec Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette has moved toward increased pricing transparency in both grocery stores and restaurants — an initiative that’s long overdue.
The obvious prejudice shown by debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis should surprise no one.
After Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice grossed $110 million for its opening weekend of haunted-house antics, the week’s biggest carnival-ride shock and exasperation came from conservative media observations about the Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debate. Conservatives are always surprised that mainstream media always display their bias.
The Washington Post has long been the mouthpiece of the Democratic National Committee, strutting its phony, self-righteous objectivity around like an exceptionally ugly drag queen. There is no hiding its bias, as there no hiding the dude down deep under the wig, makeup, and stilettos.
Leftist slant is what you come to expect from a publication that has been staffed and led by graduates of the Aaron Sorkin School of Journalism.
China will train thousands of foreign law enforcement officers so as to see the world order “develop in a more fair, reasonable and efficient direction”, its minister for public security has said.
“We will [also] send police consultants to countries in need to conduct training to help them quickly and effectively improve their law enforcement capabilities,” minister Wang Xiaohong told an annual global security forum.
Wang Xiaohong made the announcement in the eastern city of Lianyungang on Monday in front of law enforcement representatives from 122 countries, regions and international organisations such as Interpol.
EXCLUSIVE – A California teachers’ union that blocked White teachers from applying for a position because of their race quickly folded in federal court after three months in litigation, which the plaintiff thought could take years.
Isaac Newman, a teacher in the Elk Grove School District, filed a federal lawsuit against his local, The Elk Grove Education Association for allegedly violating his Title VII civil rights. The suit, spearheaded by The Fairness Center, alleged that a “BIPOC” seat on the union’s executive board did not permit White applicants, so it was in violation of law.
It’s perfectly understandable that the Islamic State (ISIS) would want to murder the most prominent exponent of Christianity. After all, the notorious jihad terror group is trying to engulf us all in a global religious war. Yet at the same time, the Islamic State jihadis don’t seem to have thought this through. Pope Francis is one of the world’s foremost non-Muslim boosters of Islam. If the “Pope of Islam,” of all people, gets offed by Islamic jihadis, it might end up being bad for ISIS’ image — that is, outside of its fanbase of fellow bloodthirsty jihadis.
If Joe Biden isn’t fit enough to run for re-election, then how can he be fit to remain in the White House?
Who is currently in charge in America? It’s sobering to realise that this critical question was never asked in this week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. After all, what question could be more important than who is running the country?
One of the things that was obvious during the debate was that Kamala came in with a lot of memorized material. Those who like her were impressed by how well-prepared she was. Those who don’t like her noted that she had to memorize everything because she is incapable of answering substantive questions on the fly—and that her memorized answers were platitudes, canned phrases, and blatant lies. What didn’t occur to those of us who dislike Kamala was that the memorized lines invariably went right to the heart of the questions. Weird, huh?
Juan Salcedo was fed up with the endless stunt driving outside his front door. Day and night, young men took over the intersection in front of his house and did doughnuts, sometimes for hours on end. At around five in the morning, Salcedo, a bearded, middle-aged homeowner, walked outside and confronted the drivers, asking them to cut it out. One of them pulled a gun on him and said, “This is Oakland. Go back inside.”

Will there be another political orange crush? Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh sure hopes so.
In 2011, the New Democratic Party of Canada, led by Jack Layton, became the Official Opposition in the House of Commons in a stunning orange surge. The historic win coincided with a Conservative victory and a Liberal collapse.
