Invoking The 25th Amendment Is Constitutional — And Democrats’ Best Hope

The Democrats’ public struggle session over what to do with the problem of Joe Biden must end. They know, we know, and, most terrifyingly, America’s enemies know that our commander-in-chief is mentally incompetent. As such, the answer is clear, and the Constitution provides it: Joe Biden must be removed from office and the vice president sworn in as president.

Collaborator Intelligence Agency

Where jihad is “a holy struggle in pursuit of a moral goal” and CIA bosses share information with Communist regimes.

It has now emerged that Gina Haspel, director of the CIA from 2018-2021, was aware of the October, 2020 letter from 51 “intelligence community” officials charging that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.” The signatories included three former CIA directors –Mike Hayden, Leon Panetta, and John Brennan, plus acting CIA directors John McLaughlin and Mike Morel. A full 41 signers were from the CIA – some still on contract to the agency at the time.  In 2022, many of the signatories refused comment on the letter or ducked the question.

The true story of this election? Populism is here to stay

There has been an earthquake in British politics, reporters say. Everyone from the Guardian to the Sun to CNN is reaching for the metaphor of shifting tectonic plates to describe Labour’s victory over the Tories in the General Election. And in a sense they’re right. The political ground has shaken. Rumblings have been felt. But it wasn’t drab, grey Labour that did it – it was the millions of voters who rejected both Labour and the Tories and in the process delivered one of the most devastating sucker punches to the political duopoly in decades.

‘It’s time to warn the people’: IDF intel. officer’s October 7 warning was ignored – N12 report

A warning of an imminent Hamas attack before the October 7 massacre that went unheard was revealed during a Thursday night N12 report.

The alert was written by a non-commissioned officer from Unit 8200, known as “V,” who, according to previous reports, had sent additional warnings to high-ranking officers in IDF Intelligence to prevent the Hamas attack.

Shortly before October 7, “V” sent a coded email stating, “The sword is coming – it is time to warn the people,” in an attempt to alert once more, hoping someone would take notice.

Viewing AI as Alien Intelligence

Large Language Models with Artificial Intelligence (AI) are neural networks whose hardware is very different from the human brain. They consume giga-Watts of power instead of tens of Watts, they are made of silicon instead of spongy flesh and blood, and their artificial neurons transmit signals at the speed of light. Such signals would have traveled 150 kilometers during the half-millisecond it takes neurotransmitter molecules to travel between synapses in the million-times smaller brain. These material differences suggest that AI systems represent an alien intelligence. Sure, we can do our best to align AI with humans through extensive training and supervision, but in the long run this attempt might look like putting lipstick on a pig.

The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden

The president’s mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters.

President Joe Biden walked before a row of flags and took his place at a lectern stamped with the presidential seal. A few feet in front of him, thin panes of teleprompter glass, programmed with prewritten remarks, were positioned to meet his stare as he spoke into a microphone that would carry his voice through a soundsystem. His White House press secretary looked on. So did several senior White House officials. Anxiety clung to the humid summer air. What the president was about to say might determine the future of his presidency and perhaps the Republic itself.

Yet this was not to be some grand pronouncement about war or peace or a shift in domestic policy. He was not delivering an official address or even a rally speech. He was not onstage in a stadium or auditorium or perched on a platform in a gilded government or hotel ballroom. He was not speaking to a crowd of thousands or even hundreds. There would be no video of his statement carried live to the world. There would be no photos. And there would be no published audio.

MP Housefather appointed to new role fighting antisemitism

Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has been named the federal government’s new special adviser on Jewish community relations and antisemitism.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says Housefather will advise Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ministers on the federal government’s efforts to “combat antisemitism and ensure Jewish Canadians are able to live with vibrancy, security, and dignity.”

Housefather’s appointment comes after splits opened up in the Liberal government caucus over the Israel-Hamas war. It also raises questions about how Housefather’s role will differ from that of Deborah Lyons, the government’s special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism.

Sometimes conspiracy theorists get things sort of right

Spend too much time arguing on the internet, and you’re bound to come across an increasingly common phrase: “Yesterday’s conspiracy theory is today’s truth.”

I’ve seen that phrase written in comments sections and on X; under news articles noting that Greek government mismanagement may have been partially responsible for wildfires there last year; and by, in one case, Piers Corbyn, the older brother of former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who uttered the phrase to a ravenous crowd protesting lockdowns and other aligned evils: masks, social distancing, vaccines, 5G mobile networks, and a non-binding UN sustainability resolution that some conspiracy theorists believe is a harbinger of a totalitarian one-world government imposed on mankind. Most recently, I saw it in response to a claim that Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek purposely broke the water main in order to impose tyrannical water restrictions on the populace.

Spina bifida patient says Montreal hospital staff twice offered MAID unprompted

Tracy Polewczuk has spina bifida, a birth defect that can cause weak bones. Two years ago, she was in an accident and broke her leg. The injury never properly healed.

She says she lives in constant pain and relies on daily home care visits from the Pointe-Claire CLSC, but recently, she says the care has been getting worse.

“They don’t bother asking like they know your name, but they don’t address you. It’s just so impersonal, and they don’t care,” Polewczuk said in a recent interview. “You get up when they tell you to. You go to bed when they tell you. You do what they tell you to. That’s it. You have zero control over your life.”

Why does Justin Trudeau insist on staying on as Liberal Leader? To save democracy, of course

Still reeling from the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election disaster, Justin Trudeau was asked why he should not take this as his cue to step down. Voters had been unwilling to let any of his recent predecessors stay on past nine or 10 years. Why did he think he was any different?

In answer he referred, not to the by-election result, or his party’s low standing in the polls, or his own unpopularity, but rather to “a challenge faced by democracies all around the world right now.” He cited the elections in France and the United States. In “any democracy around the world,” he said, “we are seeing increasing challenges to people’s well-beings, greater anxieties, an erosion of democratic principles and rights.”

MAKICHUK: The Liberal lunatics are burning down the asylum

I just about drove off the road. Seriously.

I was driving to a family get-together to celebrate my birthday. All good. But I was listening to QR77 AM radio, a talk show. And the host had two tax experts on. What they said, shook me to my core.

The feds are after your home equity … that’s right, everything you worked for and paid for, all these years. When you sell, the Trudeau Liberals are looking at taking a piece of your nestegg.
