This is extremely curious: “Prosecutors had to prove Alissa was sane….The defense did not have to provide any evidence and did not present any experts to say that Alissa was insane.”

Tasha Kheiriddin: Foreign interference hearings are the best spy show going
As Parliamentarians spar over a DOA non-confidence motion and the prime minister chats with late-night host Stephen Colbert, the drama Canadians should really be watching is Season Two of the Hogue Commission on foreign interference. From a clueless Liberal party apparatchik to the Speaker’s refusal to prioritize issues of national security, it is the best spy show going — if only Canadians would tune in. So here are the highlights from the latest instalments.
Are the polls underestimating Trump — again?
In both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, pollsters underestimated Donald Trump’s level of support. Using 538‘s election day polling averages, the Democratic candidate’s national lead over Trump was 3.9 points lower than the polls predicted in 2020 and 1.8 points lower in 2016. This pattern looks set to continue with Kamala Harris in 2024, and part of the issue stems from how pollsters estimate turnout.
WTF?

LYTLE: Trudeau feeding the flames of hypocrisy, at the UN
From 1994 until 2009, I traveled regularly to Peru and for seven of those years essentially lived in its capital city, Lima. In his entertaining book Chasing Che: A Motorcycle Journey in Search of the Guevara Legend, Patrick Symmes provides a description of Lima circa 1996 and dubbed it “Scorch”.
It certainly matched my 1994 experience. During 25 years of anarchy, those Peruvians who could, shipped their kids and cash overseas and allowed their homes to become covered in graffiti. The municipal governments stopped maintaining parks and there was an explosion in the rat community in every empty lot in the city.
WTF?
NEW: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield endorses Donald Trump, admits to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. he "got everything right."
RFK Jr. explained how he was appalled to find out that Redfield, who he was extremely critical of, was endorsing Trump.

Swiss police make arrests over suspected death in ‘suicide capsule’
Swiss police say they have opened a criminal investigation and arrested several people after the suspected death of a woman in a so-called suicide capsule.
According to local reports, the capsule, named the Sarco Pod by its inventor, was used for the first time on Monday afternoon in a forest close to the German border in the Swiss town of Merishausen.

Canada’s Tories target Trudeau as they seek seismic shift in political landscape
Canada’s Conservative party will make its first bid to unseat prime minister Justin Trudeau this week, the latest attempt in its decade-long aim of restoring the Tories to power.
Buoyed by favourable polls, a cost of living crisis and an increasingly unpopular prime minister, the Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, will introduce a motion of non-confidence in the minority government: a long-shot bid to force the government to call an election.
The move, which lawmakers will debate on Wednesday, is doomed to fail, with smaller parties agreeing to temporarily support the incumbent Liberal party.
France to expel illegal immigrants who have ‘broken in’ to country
France’s new interior minister has pledged to expel illegal immigrants who have “broken in” to the country amid moves aimed at toughening law and order.
Bruno Retailleau also called for a coalition of willing EU countries to compel the European Commission to tighten its immigration laws.
His pledges for a harsher response to asylum claims, violence against police, radical Islam and drug trafficking were said to reflect the growing influence of Marine Le Pen’s hard-Right National Rally (RN).
U.S. politicians press Trudeau government in writing on anti-forced-labour failure
American politicians are stepping up pressure on Canada and Mexico to stop imports of goods made by forced labour.
In public remarks, some have already noted statistical evidence that Canada has not done any of the enforcement it promised to under the new NAFTA.
Now they’re putting it in writing. And they’re tying the issue to future trade negotiations, with the continental trade agreement up for review starting in 2026.
Trudeau’s government loves human exploitation, they import indentured servants by the millions.
Justin Trudeau’s ‘tough time’ talk on Colbert falls flat with Canadians
Justin Trudeau tried to put on a jovial face when he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night. But the prime minister’s pledge to “fight climate change” while “continuing to invest in people” rang hollow with voters at home.
He speaks as if this is just something that's happening to us all — some natural phenomena — and he's doing his best to respond to events that are outside of anyone's control. "We lost a little ground over the past decades on building housing, so…" https://t.co/pkVQF4zXwD

Under Weak Democrat Leadership, U.S. Unprepared For Looming War With China
The Commission on the National Defense Strategy recently released a report warning that the United States faces the most severe and pressing defense challenges since 1945. The report not only emphasizes the potential for a near-term major war but also underscores the urgent need for action, making the gravity of the situation clear.
The commission, having meticulously reviewed both public and classified information, has identified China and Russia as major adversaries seeking to undermine the United States’ global influence. However, the commission’s greatest concern lies with China. Its report reveals that “in many ways, China is outpacing the United States and has largely negated the U.S. military advantage in the Western Pacific through two decades of focused military investment,” which is a cause for grave concern.
Kamala Harris and Her Hollow Opportunity Economy
Two weeks ago, Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris finally released a list of policy issues that she said she would fight for if elected president. One does not have to read much about her policy proposals to see that she is no longer hiding her hard-line leftist ideological ambitions.
It is easy to criticize left-leaning policies on their ideological merits, but it is just as necessary—if not more—to pinpoint the flawed economics that goes into something so blatantly ideological as Harris’s policy platform.
