Bernie Sanders has offered his backing to Joe Biden, dismissing calls for the man he described as the “most effective president in the modern history of our country” to stand down in the upcoming US presidential election.
Sanders, the totemic progressive US senator, used an opinion piece in the New York Times to endorse Biden, who has come under increasing fire from fellow Democrats over his ability to beat Donald Trump following a disastrous televised debate between the two.
In-house research conducted by the Privy Council Office found Canadian military members feel disheartened and abandoned by the state of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
Of those surveyed, each of them said they believe Canada is “on the wrong track” in national defence, per Blacklock’s Reporter. Findings were drawn from focus groups with retired veterans as well as active soldiers, sailors and air crew.

Shooter was about 150 yards from Trump on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage.
It defies every security protocol ever written that this rooftop was not secured, and law enforcement personnel were not standing up there. pic.twitter.com/a1WfwMRZPA

Shooter noticed by security detail sniper
JUST IN: New footage shows sn*per appearing to notice the suspect just milliseconds before the man sh*t at Trump.
The sn*per could be seen looking up in what appeared to be shock the moment the first bullet rang out.
The suspect, who was on top of a structure, was then quickly… pic.twitter.com/zsKnu3zP5m

OTTAWA — A former aide to then prime minister Stephen Harper who oversaw major appointments is casting doubt on the Liberals’ explanation that the public service failed to properly vet Canada’s new human rights commissioner Birju Dattani.
Howard Anglin, who served as Harper’s deputy chief of staff, said that each appointment for the head of a major agency or board goes through layers of verifications from ministerial staff, the Privy Council Office (PCO) and the cabinet itself.
A divided, demoralized party slouches toward November.
President Biden’s high-stakes press conference at this week’s NATO summit was a triumph — for his challenger, former president Trump.
Why? Because Biden’s performance did nothing to resolve the Democratic Party’s dilemma over his status as its 2024 presidential candidate. The press conference supplied Biden’s internal critics with ammunition against his candidacy, such as when he misidentified Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” But Biden’s answers on foreign-policy questions were also strong enough to reassure, at least for the moment, his allies within the party. The result is that Biden lives to fight another day as the Democrats’ presumptive nominee.
“He is dangerous in word, deed and action.”
“He puts self over country.”
“He loathes the laws we live by.”
So begins Thursday’s New York Times editorial, ominously casting the words against a black-and-white image of an American flag fluttering in the background. The Times renders these indictments with the gravitas of an undertaker, like Moses descending the mountain with stone tablets in hand. In reality, the Times has proven it’s entirely unfit to evaluate the fitness of presidential candidates, whether it’s Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
Back in January of 2024 I wrote Terrorist attacks in America: for what are they waiting? It was an article about the thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of terrorists Biden’s handler’s open border policies have invited into the country. It’s a topic I’ve addressed several times since as FBI Director Christopher Wray keeps warning the terrorist threat level is higher than ever. He has even sort of suggested open borders might have something to do with that. Constant probes of our military installations by foreign nationals illegally in the country are sort of concerning, as are Chinese operatives buying up farm and ranch land next door to some of our most sensitive military installations.
A woman in California who became a killer while gripped by psychosis says companies selling the drug legally are hiding the truth about its effects
When Bryn Spejcher watched the police bodycam footage, she did not recognise the woman she saw.
The 33-year-old saw herself, deranged and frenzied, stabbing her body and then her service dog, Arya, the police having to taser her four times and beating her nine times with a baton — breaking her arm — to make her stop. Then she saw the man with whom she had been on a date, Chad O’Melia, stabbed 108 times in his home in Thousand Oaks, northwest of Los Angeles, where the two had been hanging out and smoking weed. She had killed him.
France has been plunged into turmoil. This time not by the actions of protesters, rioters or striking workers, but by the president of the French Republic himself.
In the aftermath of the European elections last month, Emmanuel Macron was facing the success of Marine Le Pen’s right-populist National Rally (RN) and the plummeting popularity of his own Ensemble coalition. As a result, he immediately dissolved the National Assembly and called snap legislative elections – despite the constitution in no way compelling him to do so. For the past two years, his party and his government have been struggling along without an absolute majority. The result at the weekend, after two rounds of voting, is a well and truly hung parliament.
It’s amazing what a few years of open borders can do to a country.

In a couple of weeks, an estimated 15 million tourists will visit Paris for the upcoming Olympic Games. Around 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will compete for sporting glory. But there are growing security concerns over the threat posed by Islamist extremists due to a massive surge in recent days of Islamic State (IS) propaganda about attacking stadiums.
The reaction to Pierre Poilievre visiting a number of Christian churches lately would make you think The Handmaid’s Tale was about to move from fiction to reality.
Seems to some so-called progressive Canadians, politicians can seek the votes of any religious or ethnic group, but Christians need to be avoided.
Who’s that guy? Pierre Poilievre may not be recognizable to some Canadians, but a lot of them still want to vote for him
OTTAWA — About a third of Canadians can’t put a name to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s face, a new poll suggests, even as his party commands at least a 17-point lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in public support.
But Abacus Data CEO David Coletto says that’s not actually a problem for Poilievre, and instead signals one for Trudeau, whose floundering fortunes are driving big questions about how or if he can hang on to power — and who might replace him if he goes.
