Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on her E.V. stance. Her campaign staff, particularly communications official Ammar Moussa, contends it’s a “lie” that she supports E.V. mandates. However, then-senator Harris was a co-sponsor of the Zero Emissions Vehicles Act of 2019, a bill that proposed to require 100% of new car sales to be E.V.s or otherwise be emissions-free by 2040.
The key is “emissions-free.”
Demographer, historian, and author Neil Howe hasn’t just coined the term “Millennial,” he’s also predicted the future to an eerie degree—and he thinks America’s in for very rough seas ahead. He says a civil war in the U.S. is far more plausible than most people think, and he dismisses the reasons Americans often discount that possibility.
In 1997, he published a book with Bill Strauss, “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy—What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny.” In that book, he suggested five catalysts for a major crisis—and four of the five have already come to pass.
“Two possibilities exist,” physicist and science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke once wrote. “Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” Chinese science-fiction author Liu Cixin begs to differ. In his mind-bending trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past, adapted by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss as 3 Body Problem for Netflix, he convincingly argues that we’d be better off if we were alone in the universe and, barring that, that we should hide from whoever or whatever might be out there.
Remembrance of Earth’s Past divides the history of humanity into two halves: before and after first contact with an intelligent alien civilization. It tells a fictionalized history of that second half, from the moment of first contact until 17 billion years after the beginning of time.

Well knock me down with a very small feather, Prince Harry’s apparently bored and wants to come home. Eight years since he met Meghan, six years since he married her, four since they flounced off to America, he’s back in touch with old friends and advisers and seeking to “rehabilitate” his image. That’s quite some brass neck. He’s spent the intervening time saying he was hounded out of the land of his birth and had to take a “freedom flight” to Canada.
Vice President Kamala Harris will apparently favor attacks on former President Donald Trump rather than “substance” at the September 10 ABC News presidential debate, according to a report.
So long as Drunk Southern Black Accent Kamala shows up I’m happy.
Justin Trudeau’s exchange with a steelworker at the Algoma plant in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., last Friday suggests two things — that the prime minister’s position is objectively hopeless but that he is not, in fact, totally helpless.
Let me explain. The worker — (and it appears he was a worker, not a Conservative plant, as some online have charged, given he was wearing a Local 2251 shirt in a secure part of the Algoma property at shift change) — was about as rude as Canadian voters ever get when they meet a politician. Namely, he wouldn’t shake hands and told Trudeau he didn’t believe a word he said, before urging the prime minister to “have a nice day.”
Trudeau just got castrated by a steel worker:

There are many things to love about the modern age, but ubiquitous virtue-signalling in popular media is not one of them. Try turning on the TV or opening a magazine without being bombarded by political messaging. Righteous activism is now constantly being injected into places where it does not belong.
Alone in my home office, I feel unprepared to be wrestling with the death of God.
On my computer screen, Toronto-based psychologist turned conservative culture warrior Jordan Peterson paces and points and gestures as he begins his eight-hour deep dive on Friedrich Nietzsche, the 19th century German poet and philosopher whose career burnt brilliantly but short. Nietzsche famously declared God a fiction and, as Peterson tells it, predicted an unravelling of meaning and morals from which we’re still trying to dig ourselves out.

The Democrats want to elect an incompetent woman as president and a vice president thoroughly in touch with his feminine side.
It’s increasingly difficult to understand why any straight white male could remain a Democrat. Happily, there are fewer of these as time goes by, most being nimble enough to recognize aggravated misandry when they see it. But the remnant doesn’t seem to understand that the donkeys blame straight white males for every bad thing that’s ever happened or is happening on Earth. History’s scofflaws.

The resounding defeat of Germany’s ruling parties in Saxony and Thuringia has inevitably prompted a great deal of gossip-mongering about whether the chancellor might be ousted or his coalition might finally fall apart.
The conjecture is not completely futile. Even if the government is likely to hold together through sheer inertia and fear of something worse, there is certainly plenty of mischief afoot.
OTTAWA – New Democrats and Conservatives have both launched television ads that attempt to define Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre to union voters, a group politicians see as having increased power in the next federal election.
The commercial the New Democrats launched across the country last week featured union leaders describing Poilievre as a career politician who “has never been a worker and never stood with workers.” Images include shots of party Leader Jagmeet Singh on picket lines in various locales throughout the country.
Singh? Mr. Rolex? A champion of labour?
