D.N.C. Slows Biden’s Nomination as Party Discontent Persists

The Democratic National Committee is pushing back by a week its plans to nominate President Biden for re-election in a virtual roll call as the party’s voters and many of its top officials continue to express discontent about heading into the general election with him atop their ticket.

Top party officials announced on Wednesday that the virtual roll call for Mr. Biden would take place during the first week of August, an accommodation to Democrats who had protested about plans that would have started the voting as soon as next week.

Canada undershot military equipment spending each year since 2016, while half of military vehicles aren’t fit to deploy

While Justin Trudeau faced sharp scrutiny from world leaders and domestic analysts towards past and planned defence spending at the recent NATO summit, The Hub found that Canada’s spending on military equipment and national defence is far below previous projections, resulting in arguably the worst recent spending record of NATO members.

Secret Service Corruption and Incompetence is No Secret

The Secret Service is coming under fire for the ease with which Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get within 150 meters of Donald Trump, the distance U.S. Army recruits must hit human-sized targets to qualify with the M-16 rifle. Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker also called out the Secret Service for poor communication and failing to get Trump out of the danger zone in rapid fashion. Those troubled by the attempted assassination should know that Secret Service incompetence and corruption are not new developments.

Australia has a problem with Islamic sectarianism

Sectarianism is playing a growing role in Western elections. In the UK, several ‘pro-Gaza’ independents were elected in former Labour seats in this month’s General Election. All of them were supported by an organisation called The Muslim Vote (TMV), and all stood as essentially single-issue candidates. Many others supported by TMV, such as Akhmed Yakoob in Birmingham Ladywood, reeled in huge support and came close to unseating prominent Labour MPs. These races were tainted by intimidation and harassment-heavy campaigning, largely directed at Labour candidates accused of being insufficiently critical of Israel.

Is Donald Trump the victim of stochastic terrorism? A strange inversion has taken place

A strange inversion has taken place

In the monochrome universe of American progressive politics, where a phalanx of experts, hacks and NGOs constantly issue dire warnings about existential threats to democracy from the far-Right while determinedly looking the other way when it comes to threats from the far-Left or Islamists, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was never supposed to happen. For how can Trump, the demonic inciter of terrorism, the dog-whistler of insurrection and deplorable enemy of the state, be the victim of political violence? It doesn’t add up.

Searching for someone to whisper in a leader’s ear

Who does Justin Trudeau listen to? Who can tap him on the shoulder and tell him it might be time to go? That’s a question that came up among Liberals this summer.

In the U.S., a similar question was asked, with more urgency, about President Joe Biden. His halting debate performance in June has many Democrats fearing that if he is the party’s candidate, he will hand the presidency to Donald Trump. A series of private delegations of Democrats have reportedly sought to give him that message.

Mayorkas Is Blocking Secret Service Director From Testifying

The Department of Homeland Security has opened an investigation after the Secret Service catastrophically failed to protect former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last weekend. Trump narrowly escaped death after a bullet went through his ear while he was speaking at a lectern. The shooter was positioned on an unsecured roof just 140 yards away from the stage. The DHS Inspector General has also opened an investigation.

SLOBODIAN: Victim of Boxing Day zoo machete attack says Calgary court ignored hate crime

The 62-year-old victim of a machete attack by a drug and alcohol crazed teen last Boxing Day said she’s been “short changed” by the justice system that didn’t address the fact that it was a “hate crime.”

“I don’t know how else to put it. The justice system sucks,” she told the Western Standard in an exclusive interview after her then-17-year-old attacker’s sentence was handed down by Calgary youth court Justice Nick D’Souza Monday.

Secret Service was told police could not watch building used by Trump rally shooter

The warning from local law enforcement of insufficient manpower adds to questions about whether there was adequate security for the high-stakes presidential campaign visit.

Local police alerted the Secret Service before former president Donald Trump’s rally Saturday that they lacked the resources to station a patrol car outside a key building where a gunman later positioned himself and shot at Trump, according to local and federal law enforcement.

Richard Goldinger, the district attorney in Butler County, Pa., where the Trump rally took place, said the Secret Service “was informed that the local police department did not have manpower to assist with securing that building.”

Goldinger’s account was confirmed by a Secret Service official briefed on the incident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid about a sensitive, ongoing investigation.

LILLEY: Trudeau’s campaign against Trump could hurt Canada

It’s being called an act of diplomacy; it might better be described as covering your butt.

Justin Trudeau called Donald Trump on Sunday, the day after the attempted assassination on the former U.S. President. There was no readout provided of the call, which often happens when the PM makes an important call, just a short statement from Trudeau’s office.
