The draft evasion scandal currently engulfing Ukrainian officialdom has far-reaching implications. It raises hard questions both about the country’s ability to sustain the war, and what it will look like after the conflict. For while the wealthy and well-connected can bribe or bully their way out of service, many ordinary youths are simply hiding or trying to escape abroad. Consequently, the methods being used to round them up are becoming increasingly harsh.

Francesca Albanese is infamous for her antisemitism. She has an extensive curriculum vitae, but her official position is “United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Long before the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, she was a part of the UN and media bombardment of propaganda regarding Palestinian victimhood, Zionist oppression, the “occupied territories” and the like. Albanese seized on October 7 with further vitriol against the Jewish state. Her hatred of Israel is so open and virulent that in July 2024, even the anti-Israel UN opened up a probe into allegations that she took funds from pro-Hamas lobby groups. Of course, the UN is unlikely to conduct a full or completely honest investigation into someone who shares its institutional views. Nevertheless, the UN finally did admit that it paid for Albanese’s anti-Israel lobbying trip to Australia and New Zealand. During her visit, Albanese also participated in media and fundraising events, as well as in meetings with pro-Palestinian politicians and civil society members.
An anti-Trump “poop” statue has been placed on the National Mall in Washington DC after being granted a permit by a government agency.
The excrement sits on a bronze replica of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk on the strip of land that hosts some of the city’s most iconic monuments, and in view of the US Capitol.
The satirical display was granted a permit by the US National Park Service (NPS) with less than two weeks to go until election day on Nov 5.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is in trouble, which means we may be in for one hell of a post-election fireworks show.
If she loses the presidential election, there will be intra-Democratic Party in-fighting unlike anything we’ve seen before. The recriminations will be extraordinary. There will be finger-pointing, backstabbing, excuse-making and an air of panic that will make even the sleazy, widespread gossip-peddling that followed the late Senator John McCain’s defeat in 2008 look tame.
How do we know this will happen? Because it has happened before, albeit on a smaller scale.
The Bloc Québécois has set a high-stakes deadline for the Liberal government to pass two priority bills by Tuesday, warning of possible non-confidence measures if the demands are unmet.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet announced the ultimatum, which requires passage of Bill C-282 and Bill C-319, setting the 44th Parliament at a potential tipping point.
Reporter claims ‘Canada is relinquishing its welcome mat,’ when in fact we are returning to pre-pandemic levels
In 2017, when our fresh-faced prime minister was still under the mistaken impression that incessant virtue-signalling was a reasonable way to run a country, Justin Trudeau issued a proclamation to the world’s huddled masses: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” Canada, in other words, was instituting an open-door immigration policy, in contrast to the United States, where president Donald Trump had just signed an executive order intended to curb Muslim immigration.
Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into American communications networks targeted data from phones used by former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
Investigators are working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed by the sophisticated penetration of telecom systems, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an active and highly sensitive national security case.

Harris Struggles to Distinguish Candidacy From Biden
Majority of voters say she would largely continue the unpopular incumbent’s approach and policies
WASHINGTON—Vice President Kamala Harris has presented herself as the candidate who will help the nation “turn the page” and chart a “new way forward” after a tumultuous period marked by polarization under former President Donald Trump.
But three months after she replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket, Harris has struggled to explain how she would differ from him and their unpopular administration—and voters have noticed.
Israel launched multiple air strikes on Iran in the early hours of Saturday, in response to what the Israeli military called “months of continuous attacks” from Tehran and its proxies.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says Iran has been “relentlessly attacking Israel” since 7 October 2023.
The IDF’s confirmation of strikes on Iran followed earlier reports by Iranian state media of several explosions in and around the capital, Tehran.

Mayor Olivia Chow concerned about new federal immigration cuts
When Chow was asked what these cuts could mean for the city and whether she has concerns, she was quick to raise what it could mean for family reunification.
“I am concerned about all of those people that have been waiting to bring their mom and dad to Canada … I’m worried about refugees in refugee camps waiting to come and join their loved ones,” she told reporters.

A Quebec mother of six, once detained in northeast Syria, has died while waiting for repatriation. The Canadian woman was known only by her initials F.J.
The federal government refused to repatriate her, but brought home her two daughters and four sons to Montreal earlier this year.
Global Affairs Canada’s position was that F.J. posed a security risk, and that there were no means to control her behaviour once she entered Canada.

The 45th president is peaking at the best possible time.
If there is one data point above all that suggests Donald Trump and JD Vance are headed for a resounding victory on Nov. 5, it is this: By a nearly 40-point margin in the polling average, Americans are more inclined to believe the country is currently on the wrong track than the right track. There are other reasons to believe the 45th president is peaking at the best possible time and that dimwitted California commie Kamala Harris is cratering at the worst possible time, but the stubbornness of the right-track/wrong-track polling has surely led to many sleepless nights at Harris–Walz campaign headquarters. It defies common sense for Americans to reelect the vice president from the administration responsible for so much misery. At some level, Democrats surely know this.
Americans have been told by their government and media that disinformation is all around them, and that is not entirely false. One of the corporate media’s favorite tactics for swaying public opinion is to isolate a small part of a story, claim to debunk it, and then to declare the larger point of the story also to be without merit.
We saw a glaring example of this recently with the story out of Springfield, Ohio. The town of less than 60,000 residents between Dayton and Columbus has been swamped over the last few years with more than 20,000 migrants from Haiti. At a townhall meeting in August, residents aired their grievances about the impact of the migrants on the town, including accounts that migrants were catching ducks and cats for the purpose of eating them.
