Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut was a doozy but, perhaps, really not that out of the ordinary for the show’s deranged host, Joy Reid. During the final segment, she invited The Weekend host Michael Steele and activist Roland Martin to rhetorically lick Vice President Kamala Harris’ boots and, naturally, insult the white people who dared to say anything in opposition to the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Once upon a time, this country shipped oil, gas, lumber, cars and fish to the world.
That seems to have changed.
Now, the latest commodity we’re exporting seems to be terrorism.
A scrum of disappointed tourists stared, wistfully, through the maze of metal fences lining the River Seine. Ahead of them, Notre Dame cathedral and other Parisian treasures lay, tantalisingly, out of reach.
“We don’t have a code,” said a woman from Mexico, watching others – armed with the requisite QR security code – pass, with an approving beep, through a police checkpoint.
Further downstream, beside the Eiffel Tower, a weary couple trailing large suitcases performed a slow U-turn on a crowded pavement.
What a grotesque state of affairs.
Federal documents reveal what happened behind the scenes with Toronto’s request to decriminalize drugs
… Toronto updated its application, answered the questions, provided a letter of support from the police and detailed plans on risk mitigation, communications and monitoring and evaluation for the program.
It wasn’t enough to pass muster with Health Canada and the federal agency went back to the city.
“Given the very broad request by TPH (i.e. the inclusion of all youth, all substances in the [Controlled Drugs and Substances Act] and no maximum possession amount), Health Canada continues its assessment of the request and levers available to them in this context,” the department wrote in a May 12, 2023 letter.
WTF?
The wife of a lieutenant colonel who was stabbed outside an Army barracks in Kent, may have saved her husband’s life by pulling his attacker off him and screaming for help from residents and fellow soldiers.
Eileen Teeton, née Duffy, rushed out from the family home close to the scene of the attack in Gillingham, Kent on Tuesday evening as her husband Mark, 47, was knived.
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party has built a “strong brand across the country” — but lately, that brand appears to be doing a lot better in provincial politics than at the federal level.
In British Columbia, where Singh is one of 13 B.C. NDP MPs, Premier David Eby’s New Democrats are leading in the polls heading into a general election this fall. The provincial NDP led by Wab Kinew unseated the incumbent Progressive Conservatives in Manitoba last year after seven years in opposition.
My bet is Singh will be turfed once Trudeau is ousted.
Vietnam War-era protests are among the most well-known and well-documented movements in U.S. history, notoriously culminating in the violent clashes during the 1968 Democratic National Convention (DNC). As Election Day nears in the U.S., striking parallels are emerging – protests against U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, a deteriorating financial situation, and rising tensions on all fronts. It’s hard not to wonder if history is repeating itself.
Unless Kamala denounces Israel, and that is entirely possible, Chicago will be fiery but peaceful if yesterday’s antics are an indication.

Truly HEARTBREAKING 💔 what’s happening in JASPER National Park. However, if TRUDEAU & team wasn’t so focused on sending money to other Countries, maybe they could have focused on proper forest mgmt and have the tools available to put out fires. SAD 😔 pic.twitter.com/vniB6r4rBk

Replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris as their candidate for president in the U.S. election race has clearly given a boost in popular support to the Democrats, although whether it will last up to the Nov. 5 vote is an open question.
Amazing. Over 20 years later, new footage of the collapse of the #WorldTradeCenter after the 9/11 attacks has been found. Recorded on an old Sony VX2000 mini-DV camcorder by Kei Sugimoto. This is the only known footage of the collapse that wasn't filmed from South or East of… pic.twitter.com/5THqzJeqlB

A 2019 GovTrack score that ranked Vice President Kamala Harris as the “most liberal senator” was recently deleted.
CBS: "You're considered the most liberal United States senator."
KAMALA: "I— somebody said that, and it was actually Mike Pence on the debate stage…"
CBS: "Actually, nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator."
KAMALA: *blank stare* pic.twitter.com/rmcz43aNNb

In 1960 Trudeau (a known Marxist sympathizer) was invited by Beijing to undertake a Potemkin Village tour of a China wracked by the worst famine in human history. Trudeau not only wrote an entire book saying it wasn't happening, but said claims to the contrary were racist. https://t.co/V21WFdYTBN pic.twitter.com/lMPM6v5uYP

Chinese media has reported Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly was severely “reprimanded” during her unannounced three-day visit to China on request of Beijing.
Joly told the Globe and Mail it was she who was “stern” with her Chinese counterpart Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and said she “raised very firmly” the matter of Chinese interference in Canadian elections.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside a Rochdale police station overnight and chanted “Allahu Akbar” after an armed officer was filmed apparently stamping on a man’s head at Manchester Airport.
A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer has been suspended after appearing to kick and stamp a man during the incident on Wednesday, footage of which was widely shared online.
Screams of "allahu akbar" as mobs of Muslims surround the police station in the notorious "grooming gang" town of Rochdale threatening violence if their "brothers" aren't released after they broke a female police officer's nose at Manchester Airport.

Canadians are growing increasingly uneasy with the number of new immigrants coming to the country, with three out of five people saying there are “too many,” the highest rate of dissatisfaction with Canada’s immigration policies in decades, according to a new poll.
Bank of Canada analysts contradict cabinet claims immigration is immediate net benefit. Immigrants typically drive up rents, are slow to find work and contribute “to inflationary pressures in some sectors,” said @bankofcanada.https://t.co/Ooh2NiRWyw @CitImmCanada @MarcMillerVM pic.twitter.com/JItN586wCX
