Leading Pollster: GOP Voters Will Be ‘Virtually Impossible To Poll’ After Biden’s ‘MAGA Republicans’ Attacks

A leading independent pollster said Saturday that polls might seriously undercount Republican voters in the current political climate.

In a Twitter thread, Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert C. Cahaly said that President Joe Biden’s recent attacks on so-called “MAGA Republicans” will make polling supporters of former President Donald Trump even harder to poll than in previous years. Cahaly pointed out that in the last two presidential election cycles, name-calling and threats from prominent Democrats contributed to the phenomenon of the “shy Trump voter.” But as the 2022 midterms have begun in earnest, Biden’s escalating rhetoric against Trump supporters, accusing them of embracing “semi-fascism” and being a threat to America, will make these voters even harder to reach in polling.

Michael Taube: How Pierre Poilievre can become Canada’s next prime minister

Pierre Poilievre’s victory in the Sept. 10 Conservative leadership vote was a seminal moment for the party and the Conservative political movement. It was the first sign in years that Conservatives are focused, united and ready to take on Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — and beat him.

Lots of very positive things happening but … we likely have 3 years till the next election and I doubt Junior’s handlers will allow him to call an early one now.

“We warned you about Ken Burns misusing the Holocaust. Martha’s Vineyard is Auschwitz?”

Martha’s Vineyard to migrants: Get off my lawn!

So illegal migrants crossing over from Mexico are Holocaust Survivors and Martha’s Vineyard is Auschwitz?

We said it days ago in the column “Beware hidden messages in Ken Burns’ US and the Holocaust.

In it, we expressed concern that his three-part series, running on PBS as of Sunday, Sept. 18, is at once a thorough examination of America’s misbehavior against the Jews during the Holocaust, but also, for Burns, a chance to turn the migrants into Jews, Trump into Hitler, and Republicans into Nazis…foremost, Texas governor Greg Abbott, and, by way of Texas, Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

Why the World Economic Forum’s Plutocracy Should Be Dissolved

A previous essay highlighted the serious threats posed by the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” to individual liberty, human innovation, and general prosperity. It is important to expand discussion of these threats by examining the inherent dangers to free nations when so much wealth is concentrated in the hands of so few.

No matter how noble its stated intentions, the “Great Reset” is at its heart a program for driving political power away from individual citizens and toward the controlling interests of a small international class of financial elites. This shift in society’s balance of power has fundamentally changed the relationship between Western citizens and their national governments. For citizens to reclaim power, they must not only embrace the basics of free markets once again but also rekindle a fondness for questioning the motivations of political authorities.

Russia’s underperforming military capability may be key to its downfall

Viewed purely in terms of the size of their formations and equipment, Russian ground forces in Ukraine still pose a serious threat on a number of axes. In practice, however, it is highly unlikely the Russian military can recover from its increasingly terminal trajectory on the battlefield, though its defeat will take time and bitter fighting. To understand why, it is necessary to examine the force beyond its equipment and personnel.

The US assesses military capability through the abbreviation DOTMLPF. That senior US officers regularly try to roll this off the tongue as an acronym may exemplify military absurdity, but the abbreviation is somewhat redeemed by being fairly comprehensive. It stands for: doctrine, organisation, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities. Looking at the Russian military across these categories reveals why it is underperforming its potential and struggling to regenerate.

Corruption, poor morale in a conscript army that either doesn’t know or believe why or for what it’s fighting, antiquated and or poorly designed equipment.

That’s a lot of crap to surmount.

Will the Russians be able to recover as they did in WW II? The Finns walloped them early but then succumbed to sheer weight of numbers.

They eventually defeated the Germans with a horrific sacrifice of men and machines but they cannot rely on vast reserves of manpower or lend lease to bail them out as in WW II.

Shorter CBC: Beware BIPOC Kids! Poilievre Is Stranger Danger!

How Pierre Poilievre is winning new support among young, diverse voters

“If you listen to his speeches, it’s very direct, very simple and very relatable for young people who are struggling with inflation issues, who are finding themselves unable to buy a house because things are just too expensive for them,” Park said.

“Some of his messages are very extreme, to be honest, but in a way that satisfies a certain appetite among the Canadian public about a change and an alternative sort of vision that could take them forward and help them plan a new future.”

Who Really Harms Palestinian Kids? What the Media Fails to Report

During Operation Breaking Dawn, ​​the most recent escalation between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Gaza-based US-designated Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror organization, a senior PIJ commander named Tayseer al-Jabari was killed in an IDF airstrike.

Al-Jabari’s death was covered by media outlets around the world, including the BBC, France 24, Al Jazeera, and ABC News.

However, not one news organization covered PIJ’s telling response to the events on August 5. A propaganda video published by the terror group featured Al-Jabari’s teenage son firing a semiautomatic rifle, essentially endorsing the use of child soldiers.

The Star Asks: Anger, delusion and distrust – Is Canada’s democracy in decline?

The grievances of conspiracy theorists and “Freedom Convoy” supporters have cast a long shadow across Canadian politics in 2022 — one that hangs over the capital as Parliament returns from its summer recess.

OTTAWA — Anger, delusion and distrust: ingredients for a troubled democracy — and you can find all three in a darkened shed behind the deconsecrated church of St. Brigid’s.
One morning in late August, Brian Derksen strode into that shed with his little dog, Eli. Derksen wore a leather jacket, and the sunglasses pushed into his grey hair had bright orange flames on the armbands.

By now, the 59-year-old with the gruff voice is recognizable as a proud holdout of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests that clogged the streets around Parliament Hill last winter. Having dubbed himself “the trucker that never left,” Derksen is a fixture of the movement’s remnants in the capital, a small but chippy group that has settled into a contested tenancy of a historic former Catholic church in Ottawa’s Lowertown.

The Star is working hard today to make sure you know the Convoy=Poilievre=Hitler but worse!

Canadian dollar falls to lowest level in nearly 2 years

“It’s going to be more expensive to buy stuff and your dollar isn’t going to go as far,” Lydia Miljan, a professor of political science at the University of Windsor, told CTV National News.

“The cost of borrowing is higher and so obviously that is going to put in some recessionary pressures.”

A weak dollar has traditionally served as a “subsidy” for exporting manufacturers etc allowing them to forego productivity investment.

There’s always a silver lining for somebody just never us.

Will Charles III be an ‘Activist King’?

King Charles III dedicated much of his time as Britain’s longest-serving heir-apparent to activism, particularly on environmental issues, prompting speculation about whether his political activity will end following his accession.

“He’s got involved in all sorts of quasi-political areas and expressed his views, and he’s launched charities to further his views, and that has made him pretty unpopular,” said royal biographer Penny Junor.

The Leopard doesn’t change its spots.

I envision a short public honeymoon followed by a very unpopular reign.

Charlie can’t help but be an Eco-Scold of the worst sort.

It doesn’t help that he has a carbon footprint larger than many small countries.

Which of his many homes will King Charles live in?

There are many perks to being King. Not having to worry about a roof over your head is definitely one of them.

As well as the very well-known castles and palaces, the properties at King Charles III’s disposal include some relatively modest cottages – modest by royal standards, anyway.

Some of these come with the job, others are privately owned by the King himself. There are also buildings belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall, the private estate of the Prince of Wales, which he made his home during his time in the role.

Combative and populist, Pierre Poilievre has whipped up grassroots support with his promises to take on ‘Justin-flation’ and Liberals

Meet Canada’s new Tory leader vowing to boot out Justin Trudeau

Canada’s new populist Tory leader claimed Justin Trudeau’s government had ruined “the lives of its citizens” as he kicked off his bid to boot the prime minister out of office.

Pierre Poilievre, 43, has branded the country’s decades-high inflation “Justin-flation” to hammer Mr Trudeau’s public spending levels as he becomes his main challenger.

It was this combative style that propelled him to a landslide victory last Saturday in the Canadian Conservative Party’s leadership election.

GUNTER: More evidence about the Liberals’ convoy paranoia emerges

The Liberal establishment’s total paranoia about last winter’s truckers’ protest in downtown Ottawa – not some real national crisis – was behind Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act.

Canadians probably don’t need more examples of just how overwrought Ottawa’s ruling elite was about the “threat” from the Freedom Convoy. Nonetheless, yet another example surfaced this week.

Izium: after Russian retreat, horrors of Russian occupation are revealed

Standing in the gloom, Maksim Maksimov pointed to the spot where he was tortured with electric shocks. Russian soldiers took him from his cell in the basement of Izium’s police station. They sat him on an office chair and attached a zig-zag crocodile clip to his finger. It was connected by cable to an old-fashioned Soviet military field telephone.

And then it began. A soldier cranked the handle, turning it faster and faster. This sent an excruciating pulse through Maksimov’s body. “I collapsed. They pulled me upright. There was a hood on my head. I couldn’t see anything. My legs went numb. I was unable to hear in my left ear,” he recalled. “Then they did it again. I passed out. I came round 40 minutes later back in my cell.”
