As Stocks Plunge, Traders Wonder If Fed Will Step in With Emergency Meeting To Weigh Rate Cut

Nearly everything on Wall Street is tumbling Monday as fear about a slowing American economy worsens and sets off another sell-off for financial markets around the world.

The S&P 500 was down by 3.1 percent in morning trading, coming off its worst week in more than three months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 956 points, or 2.4 percent, as of 10:10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite slid 4 percent.

The drops were just the latest in a sell-off that swept the globe. Japan’s Nikkei 225 helped start Monday by plunging 12.4 percent for its worst day since the Black Monday crash of 1987.

Batya Ungar-Sargon on antisemitism & the demonization of the working class by Jewish leadership: “The American working class is our bulwark against becoming like Canada, becoming like Europe”

Batya Ungar-Sargon on antisemitism & the demonization of the working class by Jewish leadership: “The American working class is our bulwark against becoming like Canada, becoming like Europe”

This clip will begin at roughly the 34 minute mark.

The segment I posted yesterday was edited to exclude the reference to the antisemitism of Canada and Europe.

I maintain my belief that the “silence” of previously reliable support noted by the Jewish community stems at least in part from the foolish embrace of racist policies like DEI and CRT by Jewish leadership.

Batya Ungar-Sargon is the first from the Jewish community to speak out about the folly of that choice that I am aware of.

I don’t believe she has a Canadian counterpart but I would love to be introduced to one if such a person exists.

As she notes of America’s leadership I suspect our Swells are wondering why the Trannies and BLM get a spot on the DEI hierarchy of victimhood and they don’t.

It’s a coveted designation as it allows “Open Season On Whitey” without repercussions.

She is not wrong in her assessment of Canada given our streets are daily given over to the Muslim mob and their useful idiots on the left.

How many of you have been labelled “islamophobes” or “racists” or “white supremacists” by the so called “anti-racists”, “Thought leaders” and journalists of the Jewish community and their allies?

Over the years all those types have taken their shots at me for having the audacity to speak out against Islam and mass immigration.

Dalhousie medical school removes portraits of ‘old, white’ former deans in name of ‘diversity’

New crime of Islamophobia in wake of riots ‘would threaten free speech’

Calls to make Islamophobia a specific crime in the wake of riots threatens free speech, MPs have warned.

There is no single agreed definition of anti-Muslim hatred but Labour has previously signalled its support for one.

Left-wing Labour MPs and Muslim groups have urged Sir Keir Starmer to take a stronger stance on Islamophobia after a far-Right mob attacked a mob in Southport last week.

But opposition backbenchers warned any new legislation would only serve to stifle criticism of religion and freedom of expression.

Islamophobia …

Airbnbs only a tiny share of potential long-term housing? Still a problem

Statistics Canada’s report last week, “Short-term Rentals in the Canadian Housing Market,” reveals that 107,266 housing units were converted to commercial short-term rental (STR) use in 2023, rendering them unavailable for long-term occupancy. Comparing this number to Canada’s current total housing stock of 15,495,361 units, Statscan suggests that a seemingly minor 0.69 per cent of the total housing stock is utilized as commercial STRs.

Smack down of StatsCan’s assumptions.

New era of ethnic conflict exposes liberal Britain’s double standards

… Shocked by the jolt to their worldview, British liberals, for whom the depoliticisation of the political choice of mass migration is a core moral issue, have also blamed Nigel Farage, the media, the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and President Putin for the rioting, rather than the rioters themselves, who clearly expressed their motivation. There is a matter-of-fact social-scientific term for the continuing disorder: ethnic conflict, a term studiously avoided by the British state for fear of its political implications.


Liar.

Lawyers for Coutts border blockade defendants say Crown overreached with conspiracy to murder charges

Both defence lawyers in the Coutts border blockade trial said they believe the Crown overcharged their clients and a legal expert agrees with them.

Following the late-night Friday acquittal of her client Chris Carbert, on charges of conspiracy to murder RCMP officers, counsel Katherin Beyak said the jury got it right.

“The jury put in a lot of hard work and came to the right decision on the (conspiracy to commit) murder charge,” said Beyak. “I think it was an overcharge to begin with and I’m glad they came back with the verdict they did.”

Violent clashes broke out between far-Right rioters and Muslim counter-protesters on Sunday in a sixth day of unrest on Britain’s streets.

Liberals borrow ’weird’ tactic from Democrats in latest attack on Pierre Poilievre

OTTAWA — The Liberals are labelling federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre “weird” in a new line of attack borrowed from the United States Democrats.

Several Liberal MPs, including one cabinet minister, have used the word to describe Poilievre on social media in recent days.

Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has joined in, saying Poilievre needs to “touch grass,” or reconnect with reality, after the Opposition leader accused him of admiring communist dictatorships.

Chris Selley: Ottawa’s abortion fixation collides with reality, with ugly results

Just when you think Parliament has degraded itself to the utmost, something brand new and horrible comes along: On Wednesday, the House of Commons status of women committee chased two invited witnesses out of the Wellington Building in tears, after a meeting about intimate partner violence and how the criminal justice system treats it suddenly veered off into a pathetic tangent about abortion.

‘Fact-Checkers’ for Harris Cover Up Her Inconvenient Record

The easiest job in American politics must be serving as a communications staffer for Democratic politicians. The media do your job for you every day.

There is no position that Kamala Harris supports now that she won’t oppose later should it prove politically advantageous.

This is good for Democrats and bad for Republicans.

It’s bad for Republicans because, as it turns out, it’s a slippery thing, campaigning against Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
