Progressive online culture columnist Taylor Lorenz is leaving her position at the Washington Post to launch a publication on Substack after she drew fresh controversy for claiming President Joe Biden is a “war criminal” during a reporting assignment.
In the long-ago of 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans, a young Kanye West blurted out on live television during a fundraising drive with comedian Mike Meyers that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”
Wow. @fancypants_s https://t.co/9csVDCze7f

It is only by Divine providence that Trump has survived. At this juncture in our history, if Trump were actually assassinated, that would have unfathomable consequences.
My investigator’s creed is trust no one, there are no coincidences, and follow the money, honey.
Kemi Badenoch’s perfectly legitimate view, that ‘not all cultures are equally valid’ when it comes to deciding who should be allowed to settle in the UK, has been greeted with outrage from the usual suspects.
Twice in August 2022 the American playwright, satirist and longtime Berlin resident C.J. Hopkins tweeted cover art from his book on The Rise of the New Normal Reich. This art featured an image of a Covid-era medical mask with a barely-visible white swastika superimposed upon it. In his first tweet, Hopkins wrote that “Masks are symbols of ideological conformity. That’s all that they are, and that’s all they ever were. Stop pretending that they were ever anything else or get used to wearing them.” In his second tweet, Hopkins simply quoted Health Minister Karl Lauterbach’s notorious statement that “Masks always send a signal”.
No longer fringe, the beliefs of the left now require purifying violence against the total threat of “MAGA Americans,” whom they dismiss as enemies against whom all manner of violence is permitted.
They say history repeats itself—first as tragedy, and the second time as farce. This aphorism certainly seems true of the two assassination attempts against former President Trump. The young Thomas Crooks’ shooting at a Pennsylvania rally in July nearly succeeded. He actually wounded Trump, and unfortunately killed a local fireman.
By contrast, Ryan Routh’s attempted attack at Trump’s Mar a Lago golf course was shambolic. His pawn shop SKS looked incapable of hitting the broadside of a barn, and his sniper’s nest did everything possible to make itself visible. Like Routh himself, it was all quite ridiculous.
“I don’t know that anybody could be fully prepared for the amount of flooding and landslides that they are experiencing right now,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell protested to CBS News.
The ravages of Hurricane Helene had left parts of Asheville, North Carolina underwater, but it wasn’t just the homes and roads that were underwater, but FEMA’s botched response.
Russell Brand, the British comedian once known for his Hollywood films and New Age spirituality, has embarked on a full-fledged journey toward traditional Christianity. This transformation recently reached its zenith when Brand joined forces with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson to lead 25,000 people in reciting the Lord’s Prayer, a spectacle that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
Americans are well aware of the security disaster of the Biden-Harris open southern border — including 400 illegal crossers who were flagged on the FBI terrorism watch list.
But an alarming new terrorism prosecution in New York now demands American attention and diplomatic pressure be turned on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented mass immigration policies.
The latest poll by Nanos Research shows the Liberals have plummeted in popularity equivalent to that of the NDP — each party has 22% support, while the Conservatives have 42%.
Election modeller Charestiste based on the Nanos poll projects the Conservatives at 223 seats, the NDP at 47 seats and the Liberals at 38 seats. Bloc would have 32 seats, the Greens three and the PPC zero.
Justin losing his seat? That would be sweet.
Three dead, many wounded, no one arrested and silence from the politicians.
Five deadly and bloody incidents in the GTA overnight and eight cases of heinous violence in two days.
It’s out of control. On violence, the GTA has lost control.
You let a huge surplus of Mormons settle who have nothing in common with their hosts culture, values or heritage mix em all in with a city in steep decline and this crap is bound to happen.

Years ago, it was customary for Canadian bank CEOs and other senior business executives to opine candidly to shareholders and clients on public policy challenges facing Canada. As public attitudes and moods evolved, and because of deference to political correctness and woke trends or business prudence, executives became more circumspect, and interventions diminished in frequency and depth. Speeches adopted the word salad approach of many politicians, tilting to prevailing winds of likes and dislikes, while avoiding messages that might be construed as controversial or insensitive. Refreshingly, RBC’s CEO Dave McKay broke the conventional cone of silence recently in remarks to the Canadian Club in Toronto when he declared flatly that Canada is “definitely on the wrong path” and “we’ve got to make fundamental change to get back on the (right) track.” He cited specifically the need for a more competitive tax regime and a tighter relationship with the U.S.
It’s going to be very difficult to reverse the damage Trudeau has done, we are nearly a 3rd world country thanks to mass immigration from incompatible cultures, ruinous economic, environmental and social policy.
