Trump blasts Biden as ‘total moron’ before crowd of 100K at NJ rally: ‘Whole world is laughing at him’

WILDWOOD, NJ — Donald Trump recited all his greatest hits at a massive Saturday evening rally in Wildwood, NJ — but managed to avoid violating his court-imposed gag order by focusing on President Biden, whom he called a “total moron” and blamed for his web of legal troubles.

Trump — wearing his typical blue suit, blood-red tie and “Make America Great Again” cap — railed about inflation, offshore windmills, electric cars, the press and Chris Christie.

But unsurprisingly, it was Biden who drew his most intense vitriol.

PBS Slights Non-Protester Rights on Campus: ‘No Right to…Most Convenient Path to Library’

Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour actually brought on a critic of the pro-Hamas protesters currently infesting college campus quads across the country, which so far have gotten a nearly free ride from scrutiny (there’s certainly been little scrutiny of the pro-Biden groups funding them).

New York Times columnist David French is certainly no hard-core conservative — he’s pretty close to PBS regular David Brooks — but his opinion that the “camping” protesters posed a threat to other students and should be removed was a strong counterpoint to PBS’s knee-jerk support of the agitators and its exquisite sensitivity to the radicals’ demands.

‘Bring the temperature down:’ Minister on campus protest clashes

After several arrests at a pro-Palestinian campus protest, Canada’s minister of diversity, inclusion and persons with disabilities, Kamal Khera, says it’s time “to bring the temperature down in this country.”

“As a government, we will always protect the Charter of Rights, freedom of expression and peaceful protest and assembly. But that must not cross the line,” Khera told Mercedes Stephenson in an interview on The West Block.

This looks like the right kind of response.

Toronto may be among the ‘world’s wealthiest cities,’ but it sure doesn’t look like it

I knew a couple who ran a pizza joint in Washington, D.C. Previously they had, between them, lived in Scarborough, Central America, South Asia and the Middle East. Once, we were sharing our impressions of the U.S. capital city.

“It’s a beautiful city,” I said, then thinking of the sky-high cost of living there, added, “if you have the money to afford it.”

She responded, “Every city is a great place to live if you’re rich.”

CSIS and Toronto Police believe Canadian politicians exposed to PRC blackmail in underground casino: Sources

YRP allegedly captured digital evidence from casino network tied to “Team Trudeau” fundraising and election interference investigations

During the pandemic Canadians were awed by images of heavily armed tactical officers raiding 5 Decourcy Court, a $10-million, 53-room villa in Markham, Ont. stacked with deadly weapons and over a million in cash, the proceeds of an opulent “palace” offering spa and gambling pleasures to wealthy clients, according to York Regional Police (YRP).

“The money moving through these underground casinos leads to huge profits for criminals that fund other ventures such as prostitution and drug trafficking,” YRP stated in September 2020, adding detectives believed patrons received brothel service inside the 20,000-square-foot, marble-floored mansion.

U.S. offers Israel intelligence, supplies in effort to avoid Rafah invasion

The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers.

I don’t think this will endear Biden to the college crowd.

Kelly McParland: Pierre Poilievre’s small-government revolution should start with cabinet

Sir Keir Starmer is leader of the United Kingdom’s Labour Party and looks all but certain to become prime minister sometime between now and Jan. 28, the latest the next election can be held.

Starmer, who got his knighthood from a previous job as the director of public prosecutions, has two things going for him. While he’s not the most exciting or personable politician to come strolling down the pike, he’s not nearly as scary as his batty predecessor, the Marxist crank Jeremy Corbyn. He’s also not nearly as disliked as Rishi Sunak, the fifth consecutive Tory prime minister and third in six years to get the job without voters first having a say-so.

‘It was silent … then it was hell’ — in the path of Russia’s move on Kharkiv

A fierce battle is under way for Ukraine’s second city as Moscow launches the biggest ground assault on the region for two years. Soldiers caught up in the fighting tell their story

The soldiers had spent almost a fortnight digging trenches day and night to deter Russian forces from crossing the border north of Kharkiv, but at about two o’clock on Friday morning the enemy came crashing through. Russia’s new assault on Ukraine’s second city had begun.

“It was silent at first, and then it was hell,” said platoon commander Nikita a few hours later, speaking from his mother’s home in Kharkiv. “We held the artillery. That’s it. We stood watching it all.”
