Last May, it was looking likely that Donald Trump was poised to win the presidential election this fall. After June’s debate exposed President Joe Biden as a dotard with advanced cognitive decline, Trump’s electoral victory was all but assured. With the failed assassination attempt on Trump last weekend, Trump’s victory is now virtually inevitable assuming some lunatic doesn’t manage to kill him before this fall.
Before today, I was inclined to agree with Noah that Joe Biden was toast — unelectable even against Donald Trump, with a campaign irreparably damaged from all the major Democratic figures admitting what we could all see: that Biden would be incapable of winning or serving another term. But, I did not really believe until today that Biden would drop out of the race. After all, while Biden has always been a hollow man and a transactional politician who would never stand up to the demands of his party’s various constituent groups, the one thing he’d never before been asked to surrender was his own position. (Even his 1987 withdrawal was done in good part to retreat to his perch as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the pivotal Robert Bork hearings.) But the pressure from donors and Democratic power brokers was too much in the end. Biden, or someone in his corner, finally threw in the towel.
Shamsa Sharawe has become infamous within the Somali community across the world for speaking out against female genital mutilation (FGM) . In a video to illustrate what happened to her vulva when she was aged six she cut off the petals of a rose with a razor blade and then stitched up what was left of the flower.
The TikTok post went viral – with nearly 12 million views since it was shared 16 months ago.
What disaster science tells us about the Trump assassination attempt
It took only minutes for conspiracy theories to start flooding social media when news broke on July 13 that a sniper had almost assassinated former president Donald Trump. Some conservatives asked whether U.S. Secret Service agents assigned to the Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally were actually plotting Trump’s demise. Left-leaning partisans suspected the shooting was somehow faked to garner sympathy for the candidate. According to the media monitoring site NewsGuard, appearances of the words “inside job” and “staged” surged more than 3,000 percent on the X platform immediately after the shooting.
So many of us watched in horror last Saturday when a 20-year-old assassin aimed at Donald Trump’s head just after he started his remarks at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. How and why did this happen? Did the mainstream and social media enable a radical to commit murder?
There is an addendum to the Democrats’ ‘we only like you when you’re dead’ rule. Let’s call it the Biden Collaroy because after subjecting this man to the proverbial death by a thousand cuts, plus stabbing him like Caesar, politically speaking, and then driving him over with a tank, the president finally called it quit. With fundraising stagnant, Hill Democrats in revolt, and top Democrats working behind the scenes to derail him while recovering from COVID, Joey decided to throw in the towel.
A third of Democratic voters I surveyed in a snap poll on 18 July openly agreed with the statement “I wish Trump’s assassin hadn’t missed.” Looking beneath the numbers, the new moral absolutism of the progressive Left picks out which Democrats support assassination and which do not.
The concerning news is that a third of Democrats support the attempt on Donald Trump’s life. The good news is that the other two-thirds of party voters really do disagree. I used a concealed technique called a list experiment which found that even when they could disguise their true sentiment, a solid seven in 10 Democrats were pleased the assassin missed.

Joe Biden’s not-surprising decision to withdraw from the 2024 Presidential Campaign has left the Democrats in a pickle. Democrat Party rules require the convention to proceed as planned. Depending upon the state, Biden’s committed delegates may be required to vote for him on one or more ballots. There will be the chance for all kinds of shenanigans, which would have been impossible if Biden had waited until after the convention to withdraw. Making it all the more fun is that the shenanigans will be public, and the butthurt among the losers will be epic.
The toxic effects of the Hamas’ October 7 massacre in Israel have spilled over into Canada in the form of a sharp intensification of antisemitic incidents.
As Deborah Lyons, Canada’s former ambassador to Israel and now its special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, said recently, “It’s clear from the data we’re seeing, particularly coming from police units across Canada, that there’s a huge increase in antisemitism in terms of hate crimes happening. I would say the level of antisemitism now in Canada is at an all-time high. It’s unprecedented.”

President Trump writes on Truth Social that Mr. Biden ‘is certainly not fit to serve — and never was,’ soon after the announcement.
Republicans in Congress are citing President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek reelection as evidence that he is unfit to serve the rest of his term and calling for the president to resign from office immediately.
“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was,” President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform soon after Mr. Biden abandoned his reelection campaign.
Trump added that Mr. Biden only became President because of “Lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”
Joe Biden has just announced he’s not running for re-election and will support Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy instead.

The sudden withdrawal of US President Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race has left the Democratic Party scrambling to regain its footing. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman predicted a significant shift of American Jewish voters towards the Republican Party and Donald Trump due to Kamala Harris’s ascension as the Democratic candidate.
Perrin Beatty was Canada’s defence minister at a key moment, and later served briefly as foreign minister. He understands better than most what Canada’s lack of military readiness means, and says politicians of all stripes should shake any comfortable assumptions about the world.
“We’re living at the most dangerous time in the world, in my lifetime,” says Beatty, who notes Canadians don’t live in a “fire-proof house.”
All those 3rd Worlders our elites let in?
Ready made 5th columnists at worst or having no loyalty other than to their “home country” will be completely unwilling to defend Canada for any reason.

Justin Trudeau kept it simple with his statement on Joe Biden’s decision to bow out of the U.S. presidential race, calling him a “true friend” and thanking him for the many years they’ve worked together.
Canada’s prime minister has had much in common with the beleaguered U.S. president over the past month — mounting cries to step down and clear the field for someone in a better position to fight back against the threats to his continued power.
