WASHINGTON — The FBI warned major US tech companies ahead of The Post’s first reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 that Russian agents were preparing a strikingly similar document dump — and once the scoop materialized, Facebook executives discussed calibrating censorship decisions to please what they assumed would be an incoming Biden-Harris administration, a congressional investigation found.
One of the most intriguing recent political trends in North America is growing support for conservative parties among young people. Once a reliable source of support for left-leaning politicians like Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau, a rising share of the youth vote is trending towards candidates like Donald Trump and Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre. Young people voting for conservative politicians might be dismissed as just a backlash against failed economic policies but there are indications of a more fundamental shift in which youth embrace at least some conservative values.
In the summer of 2023, a Canadian taxpayer logged into his Canada Revenue Agency account, falsely amended previous tax returns and wrongly claimed he was suddenly owed more than $40 million in refunds.
Then, without verifying the newly filed tax slips, the Canada Revenue Agency authorized the payments and promptly began making the initial instalments, according to sources.
An investigation by CBC’s The Fifth Estate and Radio-Canada has learned the scam might never have been detected, except for one thing.

Pro-life advocate Bevelyn Williams turned herself into a federal prison in Alabama earlier this month. Williams was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during a June 2020 protest outside a New York City Planned Parenthood facility. Williams is a Christian wife, a devoted mother, and a woman who has experienced the pain of abortion. She should be pardoned and reunited with her family, and the FACE Act must be repealed.
Musk is right to attack replacement migration, but he should push his own logic a little further.
Elon Musk is an undoubted asset to a counter-revolutionary movement in need of elite friends. His acquisition of Twitter, his crusade on behalf of free speech, and now his active support for Donald Trump all amount to an encouraging set of developments, barely imaginable in 2020, that could prove decisive in the upcoming U.S. election.
Musk has even been calling out the Democrats’ long-standing strategy of weaponizing replacement migration to rig the balance of political power in what is meant to be the world’s model republic. “If Trump doesn’t win this election,” he lately reiterated to Tucker Carlson in an interview, “it’s the last election we’re gonna have.”
“Yes, I do. Yes, I do.” No, this wasn’t a response from the vice president to a “marriage proposal.” Rather, such was the refrain of Kamala Harris who has apparently entered the “Trump is a fascist” phase of her wilting campaign. Asked at a CNN town hall whether she thinks Donald Trump is a fascist, Harris was not content with one “Yes, I do”; it took two.
An unprecedented level of foreign election interference is being normalized.
The British government’s chief of staff, head of communications, director of policy and director of strategy have allied with the Kamala campaign while the British government’s ruling Labour Party is working with the Democrats to send staffers to work for her in key swing states.
US president Joe Biden has re-emerged from wherever he was being hidden to hand Donald Trump an incredible, accidental boost. In a rare public appearance, he branded Trump’s supporters ‘garbage’.
Teri Garr only has a handful of lines in The Conversation, and when she’s done with her scene she never appears again, but she breaks my heart as Harry Caul’s secret girlfriend who wants more than he’s willing to give and so chooses herself. “Harry, I was so happy when you came over tonight,” she says, “when I heard you open up the door, my toes were dancing under the covers. But I don’t think I’m going to wait for you anymore.”
I meant for this to be posted last night. Better late than never.
On October 28, Newsweek ran an op-ed titled “The Democratic Party Is the Most Racist Organization in America.” It’s written by a former Democratic fundraiser, Evan Barker. In it she writes: “The Democrat’s long-term strategy is to stoke racial resentment to build their coalition and energize non-white voters. The rhetoric is designed to convince minorities that America is irredeemably, structurally racist, and only Democrats will look out for them.” This is the same strategy the Soviets used (and now the Russians use) to weaken America.
Southport murders suspect Axel Rudakubana faces new charges, including one under the Terrorism Act—prompting fresh accusations of a government cover-up. Rudakubana already stands accused of murdering three young girls and attempting to murder ten other people (including eight children) at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport this summer.
The authorities’ refusal to classify the tragic events in Southport as a terror attack—because, they claim, no clear motive has been established—could seem bizarre, but for their consistent track record of dishonesty and defensiveness.
Range-challenged electric vehicles could face further sales disincentives with a proposal from Britain’s top engineers that battery sizes be reduced by one third. In a just-published report on the supply of critical materials for Net Zero projects, the U.K.-based National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) points to an obvious fact – there isn’t anything like the amount of raw materials available to transition to Net Zero and most of the extraction processes required are an ecological disaster. The report sets out in terrifying black and white what is coming down the future political rationing track. The lack of resources to replace cheap and plentiful hydrocarbons is also noted in a new McKinsey report, which states that critical minerals face a supply shortage “as demand soars for raw materials to fuel [the] clean energy drive”. Current mineral supply could be as low as 10% of projected 2050 requirements, McKinsey suggests.
Threat agents sponsored by China have “compromised” government networks over the past five years, collecting valuable information, according to a new report from Canada’s cyber spy agency.
The Communications Security Establishment, responsible for foreign signals intelligence, cyber operations and cyber security, released its updated national cyber threat assessment on Wednesday, which flags what the agency sees as the most pressing cyber threats facing individuals and organizations in Canada.
Recently the US House Judiciary Committee identified the existence of what they call the ‘climate cartel.’
And at the heart of it — a Canadian banker…
“The climate cartel has declared war on the American way of life. The climate cartel is waging “a Global World War” for net zero against disfavored American companies, including those in the fossil fuel, aviation, and farming industries that allow Americans to drive, fly, and eat.”
Yes, Donald Trump.
For all his flaws (and there are many), the businessman, reality TV star, former U.S. president and current Republican presidential candidate is a far better option over Vice-President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival, in the Nov. 5 election. By a long shot, in fact.
“Ah-ha!” some of you are thinking. “You’re a Trump supporter! We knew it all along!”
The Strongest Trump We’ve Ever Seen
After everything, he’s gained ground from his previous runs.
With six days to go, Donald Trump has never been in a better position in a general election.
That doesn’t mean he’s inevitably going to win (it’s a margin-of-error race), or that it was a good idea for Republicans to nominate him; presumably, another candidate without his baggage and taste for needless controversy would be doing better.
Which Polls Are the Outliers in Michigan? (Update: Herding)
CNN released some new polls of the blue wall states today and the results look like good news for Kamala Harris.
The polls are close that’s all we know.
Some say they have adapted to Trump’s traditional poor polling but we can only know come election day.
