Secret Service Director Will Testify Before Congress on Monday

The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly A. Cheatle, will appear before lawmakers for the first time on Monday as scrutiny intensifies over the security failures at the Pennsylvania rally where a gunman tried to kill former President Donald J. Trump, the agency announced on Friday.

“The Secret Service is fully accountable for the safety of its protectees. We are committed to better understanding what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt of former President Trump to ensure it never happens again,” Anthony Guglielmi, spokesman for the agency, wrote on social media on Friday.

John Ivison: Folksy J.D. Vance sends a stern warning to Canada

J.D. Vance’s speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was as comforting and familiar as chicken soup for many Canadians.

Donald Trump’s new running mate touched on many of the same notes that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been hitting: championing the working class, domestic production and legal immigration; maligning elites, wasteful spending, unaffordable housing and unfair Chinese trading practices.

If Canada was a deserving ally under the Liberals why did Trudeau send Joly to kiss China’s ass?

Choose one: Law enforcement at the Trump shooting was either incompetent or complicit

Within minutes of the July 13 attempted assassination of Donald Trump, observers were asking how the assassin managed to gain a clear shot of Donald Trump at the Butler Farm Show Grounds near Butler, Pennsylvania. Since then, the question remains unanswered, but many allegations about the shooting have emerged. For example, multiple sources plausibly contend that both local police and the Secret Service had spotted the armed shooter—on a nearby roof with a rangefinder and a gun—several minutes before the shooting occurred. Law enforcement officers and agents chose to do nothing.

‘I don’t think I’ll last’: How Canada’s emergency room crisis could be killing thousands

It wasn’t how the emergency doctors ranked each statement — from “never” to “every day” — in the burnout inventory that alarmed Dr. Kerstin de Wit and her research team.

It was the doctors’ responses, in a final, optional, open-ended question: “Is there anything you would like to tell us about your experiences?”

“This is awful. Worst in 20 years. With no light; just darkness,” one remarked.

Biden, Harris, and DEI (Democrats’ Exquisite Irony)

Not long ago, Democrats dreamt of replacing Kamala Harris; now they dream of replacing Biden. Ah, “such stuff as dreams are made on.” Wakeful reality tells us that Biden and Harris help keep each other in place, just as Democrats’ weaknesses put both there in the first place.

Four years ago, Joe Biden was put atop the Democrat ticket because the party’s top presidential contenders (and really the party itself) were too far-left. So, they plucked from their history the only non-extreme leftist they had.

New chief of the defence staff warns of 5-year timeline to counter Russia, China threats with DEI GenderForce or something silly like that

Trudeau DEI hire

Thirty-five years after women gained the right to participate in combat roles with the military, Gen. Jennie Carignan has made history by becoming the first female to lead

the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), officially taking on the role following a ceremony in Ottawa on Thursday.

“Not only do I feel ready, but I also feel very well supported,” Carignan said in a speech at the ceremony.

Link Fixed

Our armed forces will soon be comprised of 5th Columnist foreigners and other DEI hires as white males no longer consider military service a viable career option.

I doubt China and Russia fear us.

Palestinian Leaders Prefer Murderers and Rapists Over Reforms

The Biden administration’s plan to “revitalize” the Palestinian Authority (PA) is being interpreted by Palestinian leaders as permission to form an alliance with the murderers and rapists of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas.

In November 2023, the Biden administration called for “revitalizing” the PA in the hopes that it would be able to oversee the Gaza Strip once the Israel-Hamas war ends.

ABC Melts Down Over Trump’s ‘Dark,’ ‘Anti-Immigrant’ Speech

Like its competitors on CBS and NBC, ABC’s Good Morning America took time on Friday to get to former President Trump’s Republican National Convention speech and the hubbub surrounding President Biden’s cognitive and physical impairment thanks to the global Microsoft outage. But when they did, they denounced Trump’s “anti-immigrant”, “dark”, and “divisive” speech while continuing to dig Biden’s political grave.

Calgary: Evidence closes in trial of Muslim terrorism suspect without him testifying

The evidentiary portion of Calgary terrorism suspect Jamal Borhot’s lengthy trial concluded Thursday without the accused testifying in the case.

But defence lawyer Pawel Milczarek said he didn’t put his client on the witness stand because of the vagueness of the Crown’s case against him.

“Every time the defence has asked for the Crown to formally outline its position about what it is alleging Mr. Borhot did or what activity of Islamic State he allegedly enhanced over this period of 11 months, they have refused,” Milczarek said outside court, reading from a prepared statement.

What is the grocery code of conduct?

New rules could increase competition, but might not lower prices

Canada’s grocery code of conduct cleared a major hurdle this week with news that all major grocery retailers will sign on.

The code has been years in the making, coming after a period of tense relations between retailers and suppliers.

A major point of contention has been fees that retailers have charged to keep suppliers’ products in stock and to promote them.

They used to be called “Listing fees” for instance a cookie maker would pay to have its products featured at eye level within easy reach on store shelves relegating the competition to less desirable spots below or high up.

Competition we were told in school would lead to innovation and lower prices.

But in Canada’s Potemkin economy the consumer always pays more for less.

I have a Farmboy literally 5oo yards from my place. It should be renamed Gouger Mart.

I use it for basics when it makes sense but repeatedly have had to have my bill corrected to include unapplied but advertised discounts.

That’s a merchandising disconnect likely due to the foreign student labour they employ.

It’s embarrassing to hold up a line and bring it to their attention but typically the dollar amount is greater than 5 bucks and I see no reason to make Sobey’s richer.

I will say they do fix it promptly when it’s brought to their attention and often offer a further discount.
