Tim Walz’s ‘weird’ slur just shows how much of a wacko he is among the rest of the left
Tim Walz wheeled out his “weird” slur against Republicans again this week when he was introduced to the nation as Kamala Harris’ VP candidate.
He’s proud of the fact that his quip on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” went viral a couple of weeks ago and helped earn him running-mate status.
“These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell,” Walz said of Donald Trump and JD Vance during his debut speech in Pennsylvania Tuesday.

Catch and release system questioned in B.C. as man targets restaurant twice in 24 hours
Victoria police say a man was able to target the same business twice in one day.
Around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, police officers were called to Ocean Garden Restaurant on Fisgard Street after a man broke through the front door.
He ran away and was arrested, police said.
However, he didn’t stay behind bars for very long.

I am still shocked Trudeau has any support, but then he has a lot of crooks on the payroll.
This should be fun given it was likely Trudeau’s Chinese pals who are behind it.
NDP calls for an investigation into bot posts about Poilievre rally
Are Justin Trudeau’s Liberals tired, stale and out of touch — or just bad communicators?
Susan Delacourt: The Liberal caucus is set to meet in a few weeks in Nanaimo, B.C., and while you and I are wary of making predictions, Matt, I’m going to venture one here. The Liberals are going to talk about their “communication problems.” I feel safe making this forecast because it is what Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have been saying ever since their fortunes started to slump in the polls. Is that all this is? A failure to communicate?
No one believes a single word they say.
Self-Preservation “Un-Christian” Says Putative Head Of Fading Church
Far right ‘unchristian’, says archbishop of Canterbury as he condemns riots
Far-right groups are “unchristian” and their use of Christian imagery in this summer’s riots is an “outrage”, the archbishop of Canterbury has said.
Writing in the Guardian, Justin Welby condemned violent unrest he said was “racist”, “anti-Muslim, anti-refugee and anti-asylum seeker”. His intervention follows a week of violent disorder that began after a mass stabbing of children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport last month.
Fool saints.
Stronach civil case highlights Succession-like battle over family’s billions
An Ontario judge’s looming decision on whether to compel the Stronach Group to disclose evidence of any coverup of sexual misconduct may add yet a new dimension to a deepening scandal surrounding the multinational’s billionaire founder.
The civil court case also offers a peek into the deep divisions at the heart of a family feud involving auto parts tycoon Frank Stronach’s adult children and grandchildren.
According to at least one longtime observer, the conflict bears a resemblance to the infighting involving another famous clan.
Sweden’s ‘snitch law’ immigration plan prompts alarm among usual suspects
Sweden’s ‘snitch law’ immigration plan prompts alarm across society
Doctors, social workers and librarians are among those in Sweden who have sounded the alarm over a proposal being explored by a government-appointed committee that would force public sector workers to report undocumented people to authorities.
The proposal – which has been referred to as the “snitch law” by some – was among the many measures included in a 2022 agreement struck between four rightwing parties in the country. The deal paved the way for a coalition government involving three centre-right parties with parliamentary support from the far-right anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD).
Ontario’s freakout over booze in 7-Elevens is pure classism
Ontario politics in recent weeks has played out as something like a real-time satire of itself, with the Latent Methodist Brigade still insisting Premier Doug Ford’s plans for the demon liquor will lead us all to untold poverty and perdition. The news this week has only made them more upset: Japanese convenience store empire 7-Eleven will open licensed areas in 58 of its 59 stores in Ontario, in which you can enjoy an alcoholic drink with your hot dog, nachos or chicken nuggets. The company says it’ll add 60 jobs.
Iraq Law Seeks To Force 9-Year-Old Girls Into Marriage
People in Iraq and members of human rights organizations are protesting against the law, but if adopted women and children are in danger.
On Sunday, the Iraqi Parliament held its first reading of a bill that allows girls as young as nine years old to be married. The bill would amend the Personal Status Law of 1959, which has been hailed as the most protective law for women in the Middle East.
The Personal Status Law was passed shortly after the fall of the Iraqi monarchy in 1958. The law put the governance of personal affairs, such as inheritance and marriage, in the hands of the state and took it out of the control of religious authorities. It also requires both men and women to be 18 years-old, or 15 years or older with permission of a judge and legal guardian, to be married under civil law.
David Staples: Hottest political debate of the summer? Whether ‘PeePee is weird’ or ‘Trudope is a wacko’
Are Canada’s political leaders behaving like children when they label each other as wacko or as weird? Or are such put-downs a sound, even winning strategy in politics?
Whatever the answer to those questions, I’ll suggest that the hottest political debate just now is whether “PeePee is weird” or “Trudope is wacko.” Yes, our politics has come to that. Maybe it’s just the summer silly season. And, to be clear, if you’re blaming any one political leader for starting the blaming and belittling of opponents, you might need to brush up on your world history. Demonizing the enemy is a practice as ancient as dust.
Britain’s National Health Service staff told to ask men if they are pregnant before X-rays
NHS X-ray operators have been told to ask men if they are pregnant before conducting scans, The Telegraph can reveal.
Radiographers at multiple hospitals have been told they must check whether all patients aged 12 to 55 are pregnant, regardless of their sex, as part of inclusivity guidance.
The guidance was written after an incident in which a trans man who was unknowingly pregnant had a CT scan, and tells staff to be inclusive of transgender, non-binary and intersex patients by not making assumptions about people.

Do women and people of colour get fewer votes in Canada? New studies say ‘No.’
Given the Olympics are up and running, it’s fitting to reflect on how the image that cartoonists most often use to show that women and ethnic minorities have a disadvantage is one of the hurdles.
The illustrations recur: Of women and people of colour literally having to jump over more and higher hurdles than white people or men to reach victory in their fields, particularly politics.
