On the eve of 9/11, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that January 6 was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
The line, dumb as it was, was also a dismissal of September 11.

The Media’s Hyper-Enthusiasm For Kamala’s Debate Performance Is, Of Course, Fake
It wouldn’t be a hard sell that Kamala Harris “exceeded expectations” or “over performed” in last night’s debate, but the surest sign that she did neither is the immediate sticky, slavish post-debate media coverage. I’m convinced all of it was pre-written and they were going to call Kamala a warrior queen even if she had literally soiled herself on stage.
New York Times “The Daily” podcast host Michael Barbaro said Kamala “dominated and enraged Donald Trump.” Mike Allen at Axios said Kamala “delivered for Democrats.” The Washington Post heralded her “sharp, fiery” performance.
Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist? embarrasses antiracist movement
This week, conservative political commentator Matt Walsh’s new film Am I Racist? is released in cinemas across the US. The film follows Walsh as he dons skinny jeans and a man bun to speak undercover with various antiracist experts.
In one memorable scene, Walsh sets up an interview with antiracist academic Robin DiAngelo, in which he pretends to be a concerned citizen interested in her ideas. First he talks her into supporting segregation: it would be fair for her and a black colleague to take separate hallways, she concedes, after that colleague complained that she hurt him both by smiling too much at him and smiling too little.
No, Taylor Swift won’t swing the presidential election
If, for some reason, you were waiting on Taylor Swift to help you decide how to cast your vote in the 2024 US presidential election, then the wait is now over. Following last night’s presidential debate, the ‘Fortnight’ singer made an Instagram post endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Afro hair should be a protected characteristic, says campaign backed by ex-Spice Girl
Afro hair should be made a protected characteristic, says a campaign backed by Mel B.
The World Afro Day (WAD) group has written to MPs calling on them to amend the 2010 Equality Act to add the specification for afro hair.
More than 100 public figures, including Mel B, Beverley Knight, Patrick Hutchinson, Fleur East, Evelyn Forde and Prof Patrick Vernon, have signed an open letter to the Government supporting the change.
The Falling Man
“Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.”

The debate about the debate.
Debate winner: CNN’s Candy Crowley. In 2012, she — the moderator — interjected herself into a Romney-Obama debate to fact-check Mitt Romney with a lie. But unlike ABC’s crack moderators on Tuesday night, at least she only did it once.
I’m exhausted from fact-checking ABC’s fact-checkers, so I’m just going to tell you about a brilliant experiment that pretty clearly established who won the Trump-Clinton debates in 2016.

CBC Caught Pimping Trudeau’s Mass Immigration Scam
CBC ombudsman slams host for immigration comments on broadcast
CBC Ombudsman Jack Nagler has criticized radio host Ian Hanomansing for expressing what was perceived as a value judgment on immigration during a 2023 episode of Cross Country Checkup.
Blacklock’s Reporter says in the episode, Hanomansing made statements that implied strong support for increased immigration, which some listeners found unbalanced, prompting a review by the ombudsman.
LILLEY: Poilievre promises to cap immigration, tie it to housing
Part of Pierre Poilievre’s plan to deal with Canada’s housing crisis will be to cap immigration. The Conservative leader said if he wins the next election, he’ll bring sanity back to Canada’s immigration system.
This and that …
A big thanks to everyone for their patience.

The acrimony between Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh is on full display as return to Parliament looms
OTTAWA — It’s not like they were ever besties. Yet Wednesday’s campaign posturing and promises by Canada’s federal leaders showcased the tone and tenor of an ever more fractious Parliament that could tip into an election campaign any time.
Days before the House of Commons returns for the fall sitting, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, and New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh each went before cameras and claimed their main concern is bettering the lot of Canadians, as they traded accusations of pettiness, childishness and peddling in falsehoods.
WTF?
Police are looking for a "woman" named Issac Ross, also known as "Kendall Ross," after Ross violently attacked employees and customers at a Panera Bread in Colorado.
One of the customers can be heard yelling "Get this guy off me" when Ross knocks a man to the floor.

Carson Jerema: Does Mélanie Joly know she works for Hamas?
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals might imagine themselves as taking a balanced view of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, but again and again, the government sides with the terrorist thugs who started the fighting. Since Hamas killed, unprovoked, close to 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in Israel on October 7, Trudeau has said repeatedly that Canada supports the Jewish state’s “right to defend itself.” But such words are clearly a lie, because the only right the government is standing up for is the right for Hamas to manipulate the West into turning against a democratic ally.
WTF?

September 11, 2024
That dreadful day is back again; it will always be 9/11, both on the calendar and in our memories. It will forever be remembered as the 21st century’s Day of Infamy.
Islamic Jihad had pierced a huge hole in history. None of us will–or should–ever be the same.
On September 11, 2001, at about 11am, I walked over to my computer and typed the sentence: “Now we are all Israelis.” Afterwards, Osama bin Laden called the assault on America “blessed attacks” against the infidel…the new Christian-Jewish crusade.” He explained that the Twin Towers had fallen because of American support for Israel.
