Obamas endorse Kamala Harris in pursuit of 4th term as president

Barack Obama has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee, ending days of speculation over whether he would support her.

Former President Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint statement that they believe Ms Harris has the “vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands”.

Mr Obama was reportedly among more than 100 prominent Democrats Ms Harris spoke to after President Joe Biden announced last Sunday he was dropping out of the race.

Liberals’ emissions reduction plan will impose massive costs on Canadians

Many Canadians are unhappy about the carbon tax. Its proponents argue it’s the cheapest way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is true. But the government’s problem is that even as the tax hits the upper limit of what people are willing to pay, emissions haven’t fallen nearly enough to meet the federal target of at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Indeed, since the temporary 2020 COVID-era drop, national GHG emissions have been rising, in part due to rapid population growth.

French rail network sabotaged hours before opening ceremony of Olympics tainted by cross dresser carrying torch

Everything was in place.

Streets in the centre of Paris have been blocked off, metro stations closed and thousands of police, soldiers and other guards deployed to maintain security on the big showpiece day to kick off the Olympics.

But the saboteurs struck away from the capital, at five apparently unguarded places.

France’s state-owned rail company SNCF says the saboteurs either vandalised or tried to vandalise five signal boxes and electricity installations between 01:00 and 05:30 on Friday.


I bet it’s revenge for this travesty.

Bank of Canada warns high volume of immigrants driving up cost of rent

Bank of Canada (BoC) analysts on Wednesday disputed cabinet claims immigration is an immediate net benefit to the country, and warned the rapidly increasing population is costing Canadians.

Immigrants typically drive up rents, are slow to get a job and contribute “to inflationary pressures in some sectors,” said BoC in a monetary policy report, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Canada Has Third-Worst GDP Growth per Capita Among 30 Top Economies

Canada is one of the worst performing advanced economies when it comes to GDP growth per person, a new study suggests.

Canada had the third-lowest growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per person from 2014 to 2022, coming 28th out of 30 other countries, according to a report published by the Fraser Institute.

“In terms of GDP per person, a broad measure of living standards, Canada’s performance has weakened substantially in recent years,” Fraser Institute director Alex Whalen said in a July 23 press release.

The Real Reason Harris’s Time as ‘Border Czar’ Is a Political Vulnerability

Harris’s record is a story both of incompetence and of how little faith her own allies have in her political acumen and capabilities as an executive.

Since Joe Biden announced his intention to withdraw from American public life at the end of his term, the Trump campaign and its Republican allies have focused on their new opponent’s subpar performance handling border security. The GOP’s strategy makes sense. For all the media’s efforts to revise or even erase history, Harris was, in function if not title, the Biden administration’s “border czar.” And yet, the Republican Party’s approach to this messaging campaign has so far been to frame Harris as a fully empowered functionary who nevertheless bungled her charge. In reality, the Biden administration set Harris up to fail, as a way of providing the president cover for his own dismal mishandling of the border.

Biden Drama Reveals Ruling Class With Power, but No Authority

The bizarre resignation of President Joe Biden plunged the United States into a crisis unlike any it has known. This is what Biden and his party, those stalwart Defenders Of Democracy against the Trumpian menace, have done to the country, out of their arrogant self-righteousness.

The June 27 Atlanta debate with Donald Trump destroyed the lie told by the White House, the Democrats, and their lackeys in the news media: that aging, enfeebled Joe Biden was fit for office. The post-debate network interviews and the campaign speeches at worst reinforced the declinist narrative, and at best failed to reassure anybody not already blinded by ideology. That number includes donors, whose idealistic political zeal is tempered by the hard fact that they have to pay for it.

The D.C. Jihad Shocked Even Dems

But they still won’t touch their own armies of terrorists. Or even call them out by name.

The gameplan for the Netanyahu speech was simple. Most Democrats would attend and sit through it. A whole bunch, including Pelosi and Kamala, would officially or unofficially boycott it, and then issue press releases blasting Netanyahu. And then move the party on with the Obama-era business of getting closer to Islamic terrorists, saving Hamas, and turning on Israel.

The Secret Service Was Obviously Going To Be The Next Vehicle Of The Deep State

The since-resigned Secret Service director conceded before House lawmakers Monday that this month’s shooting of former President Donald Trump was the worst agency security failure since President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.

“On July 13th, we failed,” Kimberly Cheatle said.

But was the assassination attempt a failure because Trump survived? Or was it a failure because he was shot in the first place? It’s easy to blow off a government attempt to kill the former and potential future president as an episode of conspiratorial paranoia, but not so much when one is reminded of the extent to which Trump has remained the Washington regime’s Public Enemy No. 1 since 2015.

Who is behind Kamala Harris?

Her inner circle is tied to the corporate world

The centre of gravity in Democratic politics quaked on Sunday — and in a flash, everything changed. Barring an act of divine intervention, Kamala Harris will become the party’s standard bearer in Chicago in less than a month’s time.

Her ascent, however, signals more than just a nominal shift. In the corridors of Washington DC, it will represent a rapid transfer of power, much of it beyond view, among the operatives, donors and advisors filtering through her presidential campaign.

The Washington Post faces lingering questions as liberal columnist Max Boot is caught up in a potential media scandal.

The Justice Department charged Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and senior official at the National Security Council, last week with acting as a secret agent for South Korea’s intelligence service in exchange for luxury gifts.
