They never learn, do they? If the tumultuous events we have all watched with growing horror over the past few years taught us one thing, it is this – people don’t care what the pampered starlets of Hollywood have to say about politics. If we did, then Hillary Clinton would be comfortably enjoying her second term as the pantsuit POTUS, Jeremy Corbyn would be prime minister of the UK and we would all be driving electric cars.
OUR government is imposing draconian limitations on our lifestyles, our economy and our finances to save the planet from supposed catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), now renamed ‘climate change’. Probably one of the most repeated arguments you’ll hear in support of the need to achieve ‘net zero’ is that ’97 per cent of scientists agree CAGW is happening’.
Thank God, the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race is over. To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes, it was nasty, brutish and long, way too long for anyone’s mental health. Especially if you were volunteering on a campaign, and even more so if your candidate did not win. Which was my experience: despite valiant efforts, and a noble fight, Jean Charest did not take home the crown. In the end, rival Pierre Poilievre swamped all his adversaries, winning 68 per cent of the points. Let’s just say the after party was not exactly a rocking good time.
Yesterday morning I took part in a press briefing for NASA’s DART mission, which is set to test the space program’s planetary defense capabilities. On September 26, a NASA spacecraft will reach Didymos, a small asteroid that orbits its twin asteroid, Dimorphos. In my initial report last month, I said that NASA is blowing up an asteroid, but it turns out that’s not the case. Instead, the DART spacecraft will nudge the asteroid into a different orbit.
ROSTHERN, Sask.—The manhunt ended in the grass beside Highway 11, where two RCMP vehicles forced mass murder suspect Myles Sanderson’s stolen white Chevy Avalanche off the road.
His capture and subsequent death in custody on Wednesday was the end of four days on the run for the 32-year-old resident of James Smith Cree Nation, but he was accustomed to life as a fugitive.

Pierre Poilievre is quick-witted, more libertarian — and he may change his country yet
Contrary to media messaging, Pierre Poilievre, the new leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, is no Donald Trump. But he does represent a challenge to the left, so the brush must be dipped in the most lurid colors available.
On September 10, Poilievre won the Conservative leadership contest in a landslide, giving the party its first credible leader since Stephen Harper. Andrew Scheer, a former leader who squared off against Justin Trudeau, was likable but failed to project confidence, notably when the left held his feet to the fire over his Catholic pro-life views. Far less convincing was Scheer’s successor, Erin O’Toole, who wasn’t even likable. When it came to policy, O’Toole acted like a Liberal who’d somehow wandered into the Conservative caucus.

In one week in September, Ukrainian forces liberated 1,100 square miles in Northeastern Ukraine. This is more than Russia’s military managed to seize in months of costly attritional warfare in the Donbas region. Further withdrawals announced by Russia’s Defense Ministry may result in over 3,200 square miles falling back under Ukrainian control.
Lurking in the shadow of Ukraine’s heavily advertised counteroffensive in Kherson, the Kharkiv campaign took Russian forces by surprise. It became a textbook example of a fast-paced breakthrough and exploitation operation – the very sort of campaign Russian armored units mostly failed to achieve at the beginning of the war.

The old adage is that when you’re pointing your finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at you.
Justin Trudeau is the living embodiment of that saying, something he proved again on Monday.
In the midst of historic inflation, the Department of Agriculture is pumping millions in taxpayer subsidies to support the overpriced, overhyped organic food industry.
Advocates of President Biden’s 2021 American Rescue Plan touted the $1.9 trillion-dollar stimulus bill as a vehicle for various goals—to fund a national vaccination program, stop Covid-19, and reopen schools. Who could be against any of that?
Those who questioned the price tag back then would like to direct you to the White House’s American Rescue Plan webpage, which now celebrates the bill as “one of the most progressive pieces of legislation in history.” The reality is that the Covid recovery bill is being revealed for what it was always intended to be: a slush fund for Biden administration pet projects, giveaways to narrow special interests, and ideological wish lists. The scope of the bait and switch legislation is becoming more evident as the Biden administration continues to dole out those taxpayer dollars.
An increasing number of Americans believe that China’s communist regime considers itself to be at war with the United States, according to the results of a new national survey.
Some 40 percent of likely U.S. voters said they think the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, considers itself to be at war with the United States. Less than 26 percent said the CCP doesn’t consider itself at war with the United States, while more than 34 percent were unsure.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership has decided to renew its bid to gain full membership in the United Nations. PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly during its session in New York later this month, is expected to raise the issue of upgrading the Palestinians’ status from non-member observer state to full member.
The PA leadership, in other words, wants the world to believe that the Palestinians are ready for statehood and that is why the time has come to recognize “Palestine” as a full member of the UN.
With the alarming influx of illegal migrants in the Western nations, while Muslim migrants are committing numerous types of crimes including jihadist suicide attacks and stabbing attacks, now another nefarious culture of sexual perversion has started in several European countries, including Switzerland.
According to media reports, the criminal court of Lucerne sentences a Muslim migrant for sexual acts with a child. He handed over money to the parents of a 14-year-old girl in order to be able to buy her for using as sex slave.
Disney just released the trailer for its newest live-action remake, “The Little Mermaid,” and reactions have been strong from the get-go. Like with other projects, detractors are being told it’s racist to dislike this new version.
The studio chose Halle Bailey to portray the finned princess. Because the actress is black, many are already saying any criticism must be racially motivated. However, early critics have plenty of complaints about the movie that have nothing to do with Ariel’s skin color.
