Being a large donor to the Democratic Party is like having elective surgery. You know it’s the right thing to do, but you also know it will be painful. You are often going to be thrown under the bus by the very candidates you support.
I would know. I maxed out my giving in the last four presidential elections to the Democratic candidate: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Biden again, this cycle.
Hard to believe his own family is propping him up like a straw man.

Everyone in Canada will soon be able to afford a home. We just need investors to build more and rates to be cut, right? Anyone that can do basic math has probably been skeptical of that narrative and with good reason—even the people making those statements don’t believe it. Internal messages from the CMHC make very brief but important notes that challenge the exact narrative its leadership has been publicly spinning. More supply won’t bring down home prices, and lower rates won’t make them more affordable. Higher prices will make more supply feasible and lower rates will help boost prices.
Adidas has pulled a shoe campaign featuring the Palestinian model and Israel critic Bella Hadid after it caused anger among Jewish communities.
Hadid was pictured modelling a remake of trainers first released in 1972 to mark the Munich Olympics, an event marred by tragedy when Palestinian terrorists killed 11 members of Israel’s Olympic team and a West German policeman.
It’s hard to understate the historical moment that came with NATO’s 75-anniversary summit last week. The milestone the organization reached, being held in the capital of its most powerful member, should have been significant enough on its own. But with the Ukrainian War continuing, increased Chinese aggression in the South China Sea, and the growing prospect of Donald Trump winning a second term has accentuated the summit’s importance. Shoring up NATO’s long-term defence and security has become a major focus across the alliance’s members. It was into this milieu that Justin Trudeau arrived.
Chinese international students passing on Canada: ‘Monotonous’ and unaffordable
When 19-year-old Ricky Liu was applying for universities in the fall of 2022, one thing occupied his mind: how to score a seat at a top-ranked institution. Both Chinese and Western universities courted Liu, a dual citizen of mainland China and Hong Kong: he was fluent in multiple languages, scored high grades in STEM and humanities courses, and showed leadership through his extracurricular activities in sports and music.
Federal officials planned former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania with “loose security,” according to whistleblower allegations. A gunman at the rally shot and wounded the former president, injured two attendees, as well as killed firefighter and father Corey Comperatore.
This week, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow welcomed J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings to the fellowship of things, such as patriotic flags and, uh . . . physical fitness, that are now bad because the “far right” likes them. Maddow reacted to Donald Trump’s selection of J. D. Vance as his running mate by noting Vance’s connections to tech billionaire Peter Thiel, and finding fault in their affinity for Tolkien’s work…
On June 25, Bloomberg Businessweek conducted an interview with President Trump at his Florida estate, which just published this past Tuesday and highlighted a very important consideration for American voters as we head to the polls this November: the massive influx of migrants pouring into our nation are directly related the decreasing wages, and this is a reality negatively impacting black Americans more than any other group. Here’s what Trump said …
Trump is right as usual.
The manslaughter trials are over, the criminal investigations closed. But the central mystery of who brought live ammunition to the set of “Rust” is no more solved now than it was the day cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot to death by Alec Baldwin on Oct. 21, 2021.
The answer, after two and a half years of scrutiny and two trials with witness testimony, may just be the most obvious one: The armorer did it.
Public disorder like that seen in Harehills will soon become the norm if justice is not seen to be done
Public disorder broke out in Harehills, a part of Leeds, yesterday. Large crowds smashed up a police car, looted a delivery van, pelted police vans and officers with missiles, and burned a double-decker bus to the ground.
The trigger? Apparently, social workers trying to take one or more Roma children into care.
A visit from social services is far from remarkable amidst the social and family breakdown underway in modern Britain. But it would seem that some in the multicultural community of Harehills were simply not going to stand for agents of the British state daring to interfere in their tribal affairs.
This sort of thing is routine in France where authorities have lost control of the streets.
There are literal No-Go zones where first responders will not attend.
We have witnessed the nascent debut of this lawlessness brewing in Canada since Oct 7.
Government whistleblowers have informed U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) that former President Donald J. Trump‘s security detail at his July 13 rally, where a would-be assassin made an attempt on his life, was mostly comprised of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel and not United States Secret Service (USSS). In the days following the attempted assassination, the USSS has attempted to blame local police for the lapse in security.

The International Court of Justice, the top judicial arm of the United Nations, said Friday that Israel should bring an end to its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, cease new settlement activity, evacuate existing settlements and pay reparations to Palestinians who have lost land and property.
The court, based in The Hague, said Israel is responsible for “systematic discrimination” against Palestinians based on race or ethnicity and has breached the right of Palestinians to self-determination.
Landmark report on ‘Canada’s Black Justice Strategy’ calls for major reforms, end to mandatory minimums
Pouring more resources into jobs, housing, health and education, eliminating mandatory minimum sentences and creating a national coordinating agency for Black people are among the major overhauls called for in a landmark report on Canada’s “Black Justice Strategy.”
If implemented, the report concludes, these measures and more could shrink the over-representation of Black and Indigenous people in jail — and create a “justice system that is truly just” for all.
This is just another identity politics scam in advance of the election.
It will be a quick release bonanza for career criminals who have been taught to have zero respect for the white man and his laws.
