Trump Is Now a Convicted Felon. That May Not Be Good for Biden.

WASHINGTON — Jurors are tougher than voters. They expect defendants — or their lawyers — to tell the truth. Hence the 34 guilty verdicts on charges that former President Donald Trump falsified business records to influence the 2016 election.

Don’t get me wrong. I still think Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg engaged in prosecutorial overreach with a case based on amorphous charges for moldy behavior. That is, the prosecution engaged in election interference fueled by partisan rancor.

So I believe Trump is likely to see the verdict and sentencing reversed on appeal because you don’t prosecute a former president based on novel legal theory.

But for now, Trump is a convicted felon.

France: Ethnic gang assaults whites

A dance evening, the ‘farmers’ ball”, was held on Saturday evening in the Murinais ballroom organised by young farmers from Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans.

An initial brawl broke out outside the hall between two men who had just come from the party and half a dozen others who were outside, all of them young people from Saint-Marcellin. As other people came out of the hall to aid their two friends, their opponents were pushed back and they fled.

Opposition set to amend election bill to curb MP pension eligibility

An attempt by the Liberals to avoid holding the 2025 federal election on a date that conflicts with a religious festival appears set to be overruled by the Opposition, following claims that the new date sets up a financial conflict of interest for MPs first elected in 2019.

The current election law says that unless Parliament is dissolved early, the next federal election “must be held on the third Monday of October in the fourth calendar year following polling day for the last general election” — Monday, October 20, 2025.

It’s all about the pensions.

Of Course They’ll Put Trump in Jail

Why wouldn’t Judge Juan Merchan finish the job and add to the left’s glee in calling Donald Trump a “convicted felon” by sentencing him to jail? That fact that Trump’s sentencing is on July 11, mere days before the Republican National Convention, would not impede a judge who, according to Trump attorney Alina Habba, covered his mouth to laugh during his sentencing. It would be no impediment to the hand-picked jurist who allowed prosecutors to hide the underlying “crime” for the entire trial, hide witnesses, and overrule the majority of the defense objections in this goat rodeo.

What Canada can learn from Japan in solving its housing and productivity crises

Faced with crises in housing, health care and a stagnant economy, Canadians may feel like their challenges are insurmountable. But solutions may not be that hard. To see how we might do things differently, we could look to Japan’s cities for ideas.

Take the two capitals, for starters. Ottawa has about a million residents, Tokyo some 14 times that. Yet Tokyo occupies less space. You would think that with that kind of density Tokyo, which after all is one of the world’s great metropoles and a global corporate and financial hub, would be an expensive place to live. Yet average house prices are lower there than in Ottawa.

Antisemitism anxiety at synagogues after week of attacks on Jewish institutions

Members of Canada’s Jewish community expressed both anxiety and resolve on Saturday at Shabbat services held following a week of attacks targeting schools and religious institutions that have further stoked fears of rising antisemitism.

In Vancouver, the Schara Tzedeck synagogue held its first service since the building’s front door was charred Thursday night by what police say was an act of arson.

That anxiety will never leave entirely even after the current Gaza war is put to bed.

Muslims are taught to hate Jews. It’s their religion.

Their supremacist cult also teaches them to hate everyone else.

Unless our mainstream political parties wake up and ban Muslim immigration the level of violence will only increase.

I do not expect our political class to do the right thing.
