How many French synagogues and cathedrals can burn due to ‘incidents’?
The authorities talk of “involuntary destruction by fire”: I suspect that these fires have the same source as the desecrated cemeteries and synagogue burnings of Bondy, Clichy, Trappes and many other Jewish places of worship in France.
November 24, 2018: Pontoise Cathedral burns.
February 6, 2019: Lavaur Cathedral burns.
March 18, 2019: the cathedral-basilica of Saint-Sulpice burns.
April 15, 2019: Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burns.
June 12, 2020: Rennes cathedral burns.
July 18, 2020: Nantes Cathedral burns.
Six great cathedrals of France set on fire.
Seattle’s Policies Are Killing Drug Addicts
True compassion recognizes that a person stuck in addiction needs help — help that broken souls often want but can’t choose.
Last month the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the rights of cities to enforce common sense laws which prohibit the homeless from sleeping in public spaces, such as parks or sidewalks where children play or families walk. It’s almost absurd that the Court was forced to expend its limited resources adjudicating a controversy over whether such laws should be constitutional.
GUNTER: Who’s tracking taxpayer millions spent on EV incentives?
Where did the $590 million go?
On Thursday, automaker Ford announced it was changing its plan to build electric vehicles (EVs) at its plant in Oakville, Ontario and was instead going to spend over $2 billion converting the plant to produce heavy-duty pickups, such as the F250.
The symbolism couldn’t be more perfect.
The Secret Service Must Be Revamped
Now that the Republican convention ended without incidents, we must get back to considering the implications of the near-assassination of former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump two days before the convention began. Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle says she will not resign, despite the failure of her agents to secure the rooftop from where the shots were fired at Trump, and despite her refusal to come clean about the causes of the failure.

‘Just do something’: Liberty Village residents pleading with city to fix ‘unbearable’ traffic congestion
Liberty Village residents say they feel trapped as traffic conditions have gotten so bad, they say it takes a minimum of 30 minutes for drivers to get in and out of the downtown neighbourhood.
“It’s unbearable, completely unbearable. You cannot leave at any point in the morning or in the evening at any point,” says resident Pamela Westwater.
… “As much as these events are great for Toronto and the economy of Toronto, it’s impacting our daily lives. It took me two hours to drive 900 meters to get home,” says DeOliveira.
Many residents have been inundating Ward 10 councillor Ausma Malik’s inbox with complaints and demands to find an immediate solution.

Men can compete in Olympic artistic swimming for the 1st time. But none made the cut
This year, for the first time, male athletes are eligible to compete in Olympic-level artistic swimming.
Yet, in an Olympic Games being touted as the first to achieve full gender parity, not one man made the cut for the competition in Paris. This has some critics asking questions about gender diversity in the sport and one swimmer calling it quits.
SNL had an hilarious synchro swimming skit featuring Martin Short and Harry Shearer, it is alas unavailable, other than one with the complete sketch stripped of dialogue and overlayed with a song.
Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever
“But who?”
The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
I can’t believe anyone would suggest Hillary however I do believe it promises a fun time for all of us.
The Dems May Have Found Someone Worse Than Kamala to Replace Biden

Trudeau’s Canada: Older and facing homelessness, many for the first time in their lives
Guy-Émile Beauparlant was born in Montreal but the family moved early and often throughout Quebec to wherever his father found construction work.
Beauparlant left school when he was of working age, embarking on a lifetime of menial jobs. Some he enjoyed, such as climbing trees to hand pick unblemished apples, or working outdoors on a dairy farm. Others he liked less, like roofing the expansive airplane hangars at the St-Hubert airport, or making insulation derived from shredded newspapers — hot, dusty work that clogged his respiratory passages and burnt his eyes.

‘Full-blown communist takeover’: Joe Rogan blasts Justin Trudeau — again
‘Canada was an amazing place 10 years ago. You go to Canada 10 years ago and it was awesome’
Joe Rogan to Justin Trudeau: “F*ck You!” I’m Done With Canada
He says he’s never stepping foot in Canada again until they “get rid of that guy” because “they’re in the middle of a full-blown communist takeover.”

Trump Says He Was Not Warned Before Taking the Stage Despite Obvious Security Concerns
Excerpts from an interview with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance conducted with Fox News host Jesse Watters were released Saturday night, and Trump revealed some disturbing information: he was not warned that there was a risk despite the fact security forces were aware that his eventual wannabe assassin was on the scene and presented a threat.

Biden endorses Kamala, a choice which the Dems can refuse to recognize
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

A Critical Gap in Democracy? ‘Yawn,’ Say Canadian Politicians.
China and India have been accused of exploiting the opaque nomination contests of Canadian political parties to meddle in elections.
It is the “Wild West” of Canada’s political system, a “critical gap” in its democracy. But Canadian political leaders — and some foreign nations — are big fans.
Canadian elections have long rested on what many experts say is an undemocratic foundation: opaque nomination races in which political parties select their candidates for general contests in a process mystifying to most Canadians.
Party bosses enjoy an unshakable grip. Money flows, often unaccounted for. Rules tend to be lax, with no impartial judge in sight.
WTF?
