Target reported Wednesday that it was lowering its sales and profit expectations for the rest of the year, with the company having faced conservative backlash earlier in the quarter over the release of LGBT products for kids, according to Target’s second quarter earnings report.
When Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was appointing David Weiss as special counsel, he failed to mention § 600.3(c) of the Code of Federal Regulations entitled “Qualifications of the Special Counsel.” These qualifications include the following: “The special counsel shall be selected from outside the United States government.” (Emphasis added)
This requirement is the law. The regulations were authorized by Congress under 5 U.S.C. 301, 509, 510, 515-519. The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. It is certainly expected that he would obey the law in its entirety.
Author and cartoonist Scott Adams has reportedly had his new book “Reframe Your Brain” blocked by Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, and he has apparently been banned for life from the platform.
As Canadians continue to feel the financial toll of inflation while grocery shopping, more are looking to their local discount store to find savings.
But while these stores are often stocked with cheap and ultra-processed food products, a Canadian registered dietitian says it is possible to get healthy foods at stores such as Dollarama, Dollar Tree and Great Canadian Dollar Store if you’re willing to plan ahead and do some extra label reading.
I have never seen a Dollar store fresh vegetable section have you?

Disney fans are turning on Rachel Zegler — the star of the studio’s upcoming, live-action remake of Snow White — after interviews she gave last year resurfaced showing her making snarky and disparaging remarks about the original 1937 animated classic.
Ottawa homeless shelters are seeing a surge of asylum seekers showing up at their doors, raising fears that the refugee housing crisis overwhelming Toronto shelters could be spreading to the capital.
Peter Tilley, CEO of the Ottawa Mission, said a record number of migrants have come to the shelter on Waller Street in recent weeks.
Tilley was “floored” when he saw the data. Of 228 new intakes at the shelter since the beginning of June, 87 were newcomers. He said most of those were refugee claimants.
Cities should send them all to Ottawa.
Caroline Ellison, the former girlfriend of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, was secretly recorded as she blamed her ex for a fateful decision to use customer funds to plug financial holes in the crypto giant’s failed hedge fund, according to court documents.
The recording of Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, the hedge fund through which Bankman-Fried allegedly used FTX customer funds to make risky bets, was made by an Alameda employee during an all-hands meeting on Nov. 9.
Sammy is in trouble.
In an apparent snub, the Chinese government has left Canada off a list of countries approved as international travel destinations for tour groups — a decision that threatens to leave Canada’s travel industry at a competitive disadvantage as it continues its post-pandemic recovery.
In a media statement, the Chinese foreign ministry announced on August 10 that an additional 78 countries had been added to a list of destinations approved for group tours and package travel. Travel agents from mainland China work from this list when they promote and book foreign travel for Chinese nationals.

Pierre Poilievre has avoided talking about gender identity politics. Here’s why he soon may have no choice
Grassroots Conservatives are set to push their party into a political debate around gender identity that their leader has so far tried to avoid, with resolutions on “single-sex spaces” and gender-affirming medical care to be debated at next month’s convention.
OTTAWA — Grassroots Conservatives are set to push their party into a political debate around gender identity that Leader Pierre Poilievre has so far tried to avoid, with resolutions on “single-sex spaces” and gender-affirming medical care to be debated at next month’s party convention.
The resolutions echo some of the themes playing out at the highest levels of U.S. politics, where so-called “bathroom bills,” and bans on medical care for transgender youth are being called an “all-out attack” on the freedoms of LGBTQ+ individuals.
It’s funny how the Star ignores the LGB without the T movement and implies that refusing to sexually mutilate children is a bad thing on account it’s what them barbaric ‘Muricans think.
These charlatans and grifters know how to get around in a world just like them. But in their hearts and souls, they are dead.
Members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) are often referred to as “Davos Men” because they convene their annual huddle-ups in Davos, Switzerland. But Davos Man is a misnomer because Davos is not the only place where they get together each year to figure out how to save the world from itself. During the warm months, they also meet in China. Apparently, it’s a Summer/Winter Olympics sort of thing.

George Sorors’ Open Society Foundations, which are now controlled by his son Alexander, will cease most of its operations in the European Union.
The move, which comes after foundation-funded NGOs ferried migrants to Europe for over a decade (mission accomplished?), comes after the $25 billion family foundation announced a headcount reduction of at least 40% following Alexander’s ascent.

One in 14 deaths in the province of Quebec will be officially sanctioned and administered suicides by the end of 2023 if current rates persist.
Doctor-assisted suicide is no longer being treated as a last resort in some parts of Canada, according to a new report, with one province now reporting that as many as 7 percent of all deaths there will soon be at the hands of doctors or other health care practitioners charged with caring for their patients.
How cool is that? The world now speaks of Canada as some sort of suicide cult.
Joe Pobia has been living in a bachelor suite in a Commercial Drive apartment for 10 years.
His rent was $770 a month when he moved in and, after moderate increases each year, he’s now paying $1,070. But after an eviction notice in April, which stated his suite was needed to house another resident property manager, the construction worker is now looking for a home in the most expensive place to rent in Canada.
Lay the blame where it belongs, Trudeau and his crony capitalist friends.
