FBI investigate harassment of ‘White Women For Kamala’ speaker, ‘Mrs Frazzled’ comic Arielle Fodor over ‘dystopian’ speech

Someone needs a time out!

(Or, y’know, a lengthy prison sentence).

Last month’s buzzed-about “White Women For Kamala” Zoom has led to an FBI investigation and court hearing, after one of the speakers got a hail of death threats, harassing phone calls and “doxxing” attacks.

‘There needs to be changes’: Downtown Vancouver store fed up after spending $300K to fight constant crime

The owners of a thrift store on Vancouver’s Granville strip are fed up after spending $300,000 to fight off what they describe as escalating crime over the past three years.

Karla and Gary Ahlqvist have owned Wildlife Thrift Store on the corner of Granville and Drake streets since 2001.

Karla told CTV News that while they had dealt some level of crime over the years, it rapidly escalated once a temporary supportive housing facility replaced the Howard Johnson hotel down the street in 2021.

MORGAN: Trudeau’s desperation will bankrupt the nation

The Trudeau government has been on the ropes for more than a year. Polls have been abysmal and it appears nothing will turn them around. Changing the leader of the party could improve their fortunes. It worked for the Democratic Party South of the border but Trudeau appears stubbornly unwilling to step aside no matter how unpopular he becomes. The clock’s ticking for the Liberals. Unless Trudeau steps down within the next couple months, they won’t be able to hold a leadership race and have a new leader well enough established to head into an election in less than a year.

White Guilt Is Out of Date

Vice President Harris’s ascent demonstrates the absurdity of believing that minorities are oppressed in America.

Four years ago, Joe Biden, then the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for the 2020 presidential election, promised to select a black woman as his running mate. He settled on Kamala Harris, a senator from California and the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants. “Little black and brown girls, who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities, but today, today just maybe, they’re seeing themselves for the first time in a new way, as the stuff of president and vice presidents,” Biden said then.

Now, Harris has supplanted Biden atop the Democrats’ 2024 ticket after the president’s stunning withdrawal. Notably, however, Biden’s endorsement of Harris last month made no mention of her race, ethnicity, or gender. Some Democrats do want to make Harris’s racial and ethnic background the focus of her 2024 presidential campaign. By and large, these haven’t been top-ranking party officials, but rather progressive racial activists—particularly black and white women.

Will Wearisome Kaepernick Ever Leave?

The NFL coddled Colin Kaepernick, now they are stuck with him. So are we.

Sports pages used to be sane alternatives to the insanity of the news pages. No more. Normal Americanos have just gotten their heads around the fact that two guys, or at least non-women, fought for the gold medal in women’s boxing in the most woke Olympics in history, when we see, to our displeasure, that the odious Colin Kaepernick is weaseling his way back into public discussion.

He’s still flogging the tired idea that he has a future as an NFL quarterback. If the current Colin Kaepernick is NFL quarterback material, I’m the next Archbishop of Canterbury.

I had forgot all about him.

How did divers manage to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline?

Andromeda – Alleged Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Boat

It was an event that rocked Europe and shook world affairs.

Early in the morning on Sept. 26, 2022, a series of powerful undersea explosions damaged pipelines under the Baltic Sea near Denmark that carried Russian natural gas to Germany.

Fingers were immediately pointed at Ukraine, which had been at war with Russia since the latter invaded in February of that year. Ukraine denied involvement, and in the absence of reliable information, conspiracy theories proliferated about who attacked the Nord Stream pipeline.

‘How Do We Organize for Revolution?’: U.S. Funding, Running Cover

The Iranian regime’s significant role in the ongoing pro-Hamas protests in the US was finally acknowledged on July 9 by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

“In recent weeks, Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years. We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.”

Haines made it sound as if the Iranian regime had been sitting on its hands until “recent weeks,” but apparently Iranian government agents have been active all along in stoking the protests, including in Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Princeton.

Does he call his horse Cokey?

Canadian Olympian Eric Lamaze owes nearly $800K following latest court ruling

A breach of contract lawsuit against one of Canada’s most prominent Olympians finally ended last week with an Ontario judge ruling Eric Lamaze owed the plaintiffs more than $786,000.

The case lasted 15 years and Lamaze had argued he couldn’t take part because he had terminal cancer – but another judge in the same case ruled the evidence Lamaze submitted to prove he was receiving treatment wasn’t “credible or reliable.”

… Despite facing so many lawsuits – and despite testing positive for cocaine at several Olympics and having multiple judges issuing arrest warrants for Lamaze for contempt of court when he repeatedly failed to respond to court summons – Equestrian Canada named him in 2022 to a leadership role where he coached Canadian athletes on the world stage.
