Kamala’s First ‘Interview’ Was the Dumpster Fire You Expected It Would Be

Did you catch Kamala Harris’s first “interview” as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you’d expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses.

Canadian Immigration Policy Isn’t Helping Anyone: BMO

Canada’s attempt to use immigration as stimulus might be backfiring. That was the message from a new BMO report, looking at the unusually high unemployment rate for recent immigrants. The labor market for recent immigrants is eroding much faster than it is for the rest of Canada—at a rate rarely seen outside of recession. The problem is this isn’t a recession, the aggressive population growth just isn’t doing anyone any favors.

Germany: Jewish Festival in Hamburg Cancelled Over Terrorism Fears

Organisers of the Grindelfest received no specific intelligence of an imminent threat but felt they had to cancel anyway after a spate of recent knife attacks in the country.

On Saturday, a failed Syrian asylum seeker attacked a street festival in the city of Solingen, killing three people and injuring eight others. He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.

New report says people in their 20s now struggling the most with quality of life in Toronto

Toronto is a painfully exorbitant city to try and make a life in, and young people now are learning that lesson harder than generations past, facing “disproportionate challenges” than others, according to a new study.

The investigation, which comes from the Toronto Foundation, outlines how poorly the twenty-something age group, in particular, is faring in the city — especially when it comes to basic things like finding and affording housing in what can feel like an impossible market, feeding themselves, and establishing a sense of community and social connectedness.

Immigration Timeline of Toronto ISIS Terror Plot Suspects

The Egypt-born father and son accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS successfully passed through multiple immigration and security screening steps, a timeline of events released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) indicates.

The Adept Mr. Vance

At the outset of J. D. Vance’s vice-presidential candidacy, it was practically mandatory for any story about his launch to include the word “rocky.”

Burdened by his cat-lady comments and deemed “weird” by every Democrat in America, Vance did indeed scuffle out of the gate.

CNN polling analyst Henry Enten called Vance the worst vice-presidential selection since George McGovern picked Thomas Eagleton in 1972.

‘Joy’ Rhetoric Is An Orwellian Attempt To Hide Democrats’ Hatred

“Joy” is now Democrats’ official campaign strategy. Of course, joy in the true sense resonates with people who are starving for it. But we ought to ask about the deeper purpose of the Harris-Walz presidential campaign adopting “joy” as messaging. Even The New York Times recently offered skepticism, stating “joy is not a political strategy.” No, it’s not.

When Will the Apology Come to Children?

Metal cages were used in the tarmacked playground to kettle the children in their bubbles during break and lunchtime. The field was off limits. Some of the students went berserk in their containment and invented a new playground trend: attacking children with crocodile clips. My then 13-old nephew was stabbed in the neck. Fun times from the ‘Stay Safe’ brigade.

Incompetence or Malice? – Who ordered the hit on Donald Trump?

Who ordered the assassination of Donald Trump?

The Secret Service has found its scapegoats. Fox News reported Thursday that “at least five members of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) have been placed on administrative leave following the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.” This means that “the five are still employed,” drawing your hard-earned money, “but are teleworking and are no longer allowed in the field. They cannot do any investigative work.” That’s good, but it’s not even close to being enough.

Germany’s solar obsession is killing its economy

Amid reports of Germany’s economy contracting, Vice Chancellor and Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck has made a sub-optimal if predictable announcement. Citing renewables as Germany’s primary future energy source, Habeck said that manufacturing businesses should adjust their production according to the weather. German industry, he insisted, should produce more when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. On still or cloudy days, production should be allowed to falter.

Republicans Can Win Both Congress and the White House

When Robert F Kennedy Jr. suspended his own presidential campaign and threw his support behind Donald Trump, it sent shivers among the ranks of the Democratic presidential campaign. Prior polling had shown that Kennedy’s voters by varying degrees preferred Trump over Harris; his endorsement, Democrats feared, could be enough to tip the scale permanently in Trump’s favor.

The most recent polling data from RealClearPolling.com suggests that this is exactly what is happening. In polls published by Yahoo News on Tuesday, August 27th, Kamala Harris only ekes out a 1% lead over Trump. Previously, various polls have put her lead at 3-5%.
