Intel officials to assess national security fallout from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents

The U.S. intelligence community will evaluate the potential national security risks stemming from former President Donald Trump’s possession of top-secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told top lawmakers.

In a letter obtained by POLITICO and dated Friday, Haines told House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) that her office will lead an “assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents.”

The “TDS intelligence community.”

Germany’s decision to close its nuclear plants as energy prices climb tenfold is not just stupid – it’s insane

Stupidity is not always painful. Often it can be laughed away with some embarrassment and minimal injury to the victims, allowing life to trundle on. But deep, cavernous stupidity on a national scale is something else. Everyone suffers.

Germany comes to mind – yes, the same country admired for its industrial prowess, green environmental policies and generally rational corporate and political management style.

Conservative leadership: A round up of key moments as the race nears its end

OTTAWA – There are just two weeks left until the Conservative Party of Canada announces its new leader on Sept. 10.

While nearly half of the ballots have already been cast, the five candidates — Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest, Roman Baber, Scott Aitchison, and Leslyn Lewis — are busy rallying support in a final get-out-the-vote push.

I don’t understand how the author of this article could write that Charest along with Poilievre are the “front-runners”. Unless they know the books are cooked Charest is not even close.

‘No place’ for harassment in Canada: Politicians slam verbal attack against Deputy PM

Across the nation, Canadian politicians – current and former – are denouncing an incident in Alberta during which Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland appeared to have been verbally harassed on Friday.

“There is absolutely no place in our country for the harassment, intimidation and threatening conduct that [Chrystia Freeland] and her staff were subjected to last night,” federal minister of public safety Marco Mendicino said online about the 14-second Twitter video.

Maybe the Prime Minister should cease calling citizens racists and Islamophobes, better yet maybe his government should stop hiring disgusting racists like Laith Marouf.

B.C. judge lambastes conservation group for using protesters as ‘cannon fodder’

A B.C. provincial court judge has accused a conservation group of using frontline protesters as “sacrificial lambs” to mount illegal traffic blockades aimed at drawing attention to their climate change agenda by stirring up chaos.

In a searing decision, Judge Laura Bakan gave a conditional discharge to a 30-year-old who took part earlier this year in repeated Save Old Growth demonstrations.

Bakan said Ian Wiltow Schortinghuis was the type of “unsophisticated” person organizers convince to get themselves arrested instead of those who “pull the strings.”

The man accused of killing six people at the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade last year was escorted out of court Friday after going on a tirade during a pretrial hearing.

Writers shouldn’t submit to Islamists

We must stifle our fears about Rushdie

Christians of convenience are nothing new. As early as the second century, the sect-hopping Peregrinus milked Christians for money and fame, until they found out he was eating food sacrificed to pagan idols. But there is something shocking about the “Catholic revival” driven by downtown New York scenesters — that is, the phenomenon of attractive, highly social ketamine enthusiasts saying they are Catholic.

Bill Gates Investment Fund Cheers Biden’s $350 Billion in Green Pork

As reported exclusively by Frontpage Magazine, Americans can expect to see their chances of an IRS audit increase fourfold under the Biden-Manchin ‘Inflation Increase Act’. The massive upsurge in IRS enforcement was justified as a way to pay for the massive spending in the bill. Much of that spending consists of green pork for Democrat donors and special interests.

A Window on the Orwellian Dystopia of America

The intensity of the leftist thought tyranny project has exploded in recent years, and continues to startle us. It has been explained quite well by a computer whiz named  David Rozado, now a professor of computer science in New Zealand, on the pages of the Journal Academic Questions, published by a conservative association of Academics, the National Association of Scholars.

Dr. Rozado is, in effect, studying the structure of a PsyOps project on a wide scale.  Rozado writes an incredibly important research paper on memes and themes in academic and popular literature — how our Orwellian world is being created and people are taught what to think and what to consider important. He does it by way of technology that reminds me of Lexis on steroids.

Russia’s grieving mothers and hawkish generals unite as Putin’s failures turn allies into enemies

Fears of a Russian attack prompted Ukraine to curtail public celebrations of its Independence Day last week.

But when a missile struck a railway station full of civilians some Russian nationalists were underwhelmed. They had been whipped into an expectation of retaliation for the murder three days earlier in Moscow of Darya Dugina, the daughter of a nationalist ideologue, which the authorities had blamed with barely plausible haste on a supposed Ukrainian assassin.

Universities drop Chaucer and Shakespeare as ‘decolonisation’ takes root

This is for their own good, according to the many British universities, which have sought to “decolonise the curriculum” and liberate courses from the inequities of “white, Western and Eurocentric” knowledge.

The syllogism seemingly accepted across many university departments runs like this: Western knowledge is a product of colonialism; colonialism is an evil to be opposed; therefore Western knowledge must be opposed.

In this view, it is incumbent upon academics to change curricula – megalithic “knowledge” is to be replaced by pluralistic “knowledges”, and the “Euro-centric” canon is to be replaced by one that is more diverse.

Australia’s beloved ‘ute’ faces the scrapheap in drive for cleaner cars

Australians love big cars. The bestselling model for the past six years has been the Toyota Hilux, a two-tonne pick-up truck with space to throw a surfboard in the back.

It weighs as much as two Vauxhall Corsas, with a 2.8-litre diesel engine that belches about twice as much carbon dioxide as Britain’s favourite car.

It is as popular among suburbanites on the school run as it is with farmers, tradesmen and surfers, as are numerous other “utes” — Australian slang for a two or four-door pick-up truck with an open cargo tray in the rear instead of a boot.
