Forever earnest Brian Stelter tweeted out his late-night appearance on CNN with Abby Phillip.
“MSNBC’s Maddow is right to be thinking aloud about the possible repercussions of a second Trump term,” he typed. “Other media types and political veterans are doing the same thing. What might “retribution” look like? What are the pressure points that Trump could target?”
Your wonderful West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent is enjoying a much-earned vacation, so I will be attempting to fill her shoes this week. But even though the writer may have changed, one thing is always the same: woke insanity/inanity. As GK Chesterton long ago observed, “The modern world does not need to be satirized; for it is satirizing itself.”

OTTAWA – Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh is not willing to break ranks with the minority Liberal government, even after criticizing the prime minister for failing to protect Canada’s democracy.
Singh says the evidence shows Justin Trudeau is willing to accept some level of foreign interference, which weakens democracy and undermines the confidence of Canadians.
#SelloutSingh says Justin Trudeau is undermining our democracy by not acting on foreign interference — and tonight he will vote confidence eight times in Trudeau’s government.
Stay tuned to watch him vote over and over again to keep the Liberals in power. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/66X8woDZOD

Queer Planet’s spin on mother nature will most likely throw you for a loop after you realize everything you thought you knew about mother nature is wrong.
All living things are queer according to Queer Planet, which was released on NBC’s streaming platform Peacock on June 6, during “Pride Month.”
Are there traitors in the House? Jagmeet Singh says there are.
The NDP Leader used that word. He had read the secret, unredacted version of the report on foreign interference drafted by a committee of parliamentarians. And he referred to the activities of some MPs in the House of Commons as unethical, and in some cases against the law.
“They are indeed traitors to the country,” he told reporters.
US v Canada
… This cross-border discrepancy is partly explained by serious flaws in Canada’s legal system. As an intelligence-gathering service, CSIS is best placed to identify crimes of espionage. But it has no actual law enforcement powers. It can share its findings with the RCMP, but this relationship is complicated by the fact CSIS intel is not admissible in court since the agency refuses to disclose its sources and methods.
“If defence lawyers ever get a whiff of the fact the RCMP has relied on CSIS information, they will demand to test that information in court,” warns Phil Gurski, a former strategic analyst at CSIS. For this reason, cases built on CSIS evidence are often not prosecuted. It is possible Qiu and Cheng were allowed to leave the country because the mountain of proof incriminating them was inadmissible in court.
The U.S. military is said to be considering dismantling the humanitarian pier off the coast of Gaza for the second time in weeks due to rough sea conditions in the eastern Mediterranean.
Just days after aid delivery operations resumed, concerns about heavy seas potentially damaging the rebuilt $230 million pier have led military officials to consider its temporary dismantling, CBS News reported Thursday.
Multiple Pentagon officials have reportedly indicated that the pier, known as Joint Logistics Over the Shore (JLOTS), will be relocated back to Israel’s Ashdod port sometime on Friday to wait out the weather. This would mark the second time in weeks that the fragile pier and causeway has been dismantled.

A Japanese rock band has pulled the music video for its new song “Columbus” after drawing flak for scenes that depicted Christopher Columbus with ape-like men.
The video shows three historical figures teaching the ape-like beings to do various things, like how to ride on horses and play musical instruments.
The video swiftly sparked a backlash after it was released on Wednesday – it was removed just a day later.

Did the Prime Minister of Canada actually say that on video? He is such a creep. @fancypants_s He gives away our money for the hugs. https://t.co/RgsrCKqHno
