‘Blue days, all of them gone’, Al Jolson sang, almost a hundred years ago. ‘Nothing but blue skies from now on!’ Mr Jolson’s sunny sentiments seem to have been oddly prescient. For 97 years later, the great and the good of the public sphere – well, at least the ones who never stop telling themselves and us how great and good they are – are decamping en masse from X (formerly Twitter) to rival social-media site Bluesky.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday outlined pre-election perks for taxpayers that open a budget hole worth $5 billion to $10 billion, figures show, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
The finance department declined comment on the impact on this year’s deficit that is already 17% over estimate.
“Everybody had to tighten their belts a little bit,” Trudeau told reporters.
Hide your kippahs and hide your rainbows, Germans. Berlin’s chief of police, Barbara Slowik, recently suggested that Jews and gay people should avoid — or hide their identities in — the city’s majority Arab neighbourhoods. It’s simply not safe to be openly Jewish or homosexual in one of Europe’s largest cities. In 2024. Germany is coming undone.
Canada is not faring much better.
In truth Amy we are all suffering because our elites betrayed us by importing a murder cult.
We now have a significant Islamist 5th Column which along with its useful idiots poses a real danger not just to Jews but to all of us.
This threat will require us to make hard choices if we are to survive.

MSNBC slashed star anchor Rachel Maddow’s annual salary by $5 million as the left-leaning network continues to reel from parent company Comcast’s decision to spin off its struggling cable properties, according to a report.
Maddow — who rakes in $30 million a year for hosting “The Rachel Maddow Show” just one day a week on Mondays — renegotiated for a $25 million salary for the next five years, the Ankler reported on Thursday.
“This is a difficult time and they needed to keep her,” one executive told the news site. “No one else can do what she does. You can’t build a brand like it overnight.”
Canadians have had more than two weeks to let Donald Trump’s reelection sink in here, and a new poll from Abacus Data shows that most of us think having him back in the White House is overall bad news for this country.
But there are interesting divisions between Conservatives and supporters of other parties over just how bad Trump will be for Canada.

The Liberal government’s decision to offer a targeted break to Canadians on the GST, starting in December, along with a lump-sum payment next spring, may or may not bring a pause to a two-month-long filibuster by the Conservatives in the House of Commons.
But the truly amazing thing about that filibuster is that nobody seems to care about it. You could not find a more compelling reason to call an election right now, today, this hour, than the fact that Parliament has been doing nothing for two months and most people haven’t even noticed.

The Migration Research Institute in Budapest, linked to the prestigious Matthias Corvinus College, estimates 900 uncontrolled areas throughout Europe. A Europe of open borders has ended up filled with no-go zones.
Amid the usual laughter of commentators and Twitter users, eight years ago Donald Trump scandalized the right-thinking people by stating that “no-go zones” were being created in Europe. No-go zones? It must have been another fake by Trump, they said.
David Ignatius in the New York Times had used the expression, explaining that some areas of Paris had become “no-go zones at night”. Then Michael Nazir-Ali, bishop of Rochester, spoke of no-go zones in England.

Despite claiming years ago to have “the best words,” President-elect Donald Trump is something less than a flawless orator. Consider his remarks during an on-stage appearance this past summer at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists: “I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs.”
Democrats and the media panned then-nominee Trump for appearing to suggest that some jobs are inherently “black.” But they failed to address his intended point: illegal immigrants are competing for, and in some cases taking, jobs held by African Americans.
Just about 20 years ago, a Liberal named Scott Reid, who was party leader Paul Martin’s communications director, sneered at a campaign promise from Conservative Leader Stephen Harper. The Conservatives had proposed to give Canadian families $1,200 a year to spend on the child care of their choice — day homes, family members and friends or formal daycare.
Reid sneered during a CBC panel discussion that the payments would just turn out to be “25 bucks a week to blow on beer and popcorn.”
The transformation of the medieval world into the modern world came about with the idea that man could and should transform his lot in life. The liberal individualism of the Enlightenment however was soon countered by reactionary movements, feudal and socio-feudal, seeking to put the genie of individual autonomy back in the box through collectivist movements.
Among the most prominent of these was what would eventually be called socialism. While early socialist movements had been a radical Christian heresy emphasizing communal living, these experiments invariably failed on a local level, leaving behind a trail of wrecked lives.
There’s been an intense call for political change around the world. We’ve seen it in the U.K., where Keir Starmer and the Labour Party ended 15 years of Tory rule. We’ve seen it in the U.S., where Donald Trump will be returning to the White House with the Republicans in control of the House of Representatives and Senate.
Yet, there’s one Canadian province which is seemingly about to buck this worldwide trend. That’s in Nova Scotia, where Premier Tim Houston and his PC government are, once again, coasting to victory.
The most ridiculous program title at National Public Radio is the one-sided evening newscast called All Things Considered. But Fresh Air is pretty close, since it also sounds like endlessly recycled left-wing bilge that we involuntarily subsidize with our tax dollars.
On Wednesday’s Fresh Air, NPR host Terry Gross put on ex-Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron and New Yorker editor David Remnick for another.44-minute rehash of all the pompous talk about how Donald Trump hates “fact-based” journalism as it’s published by these two propaganda organs for the left.
