‘Paddy-bashing’ and the blind spot of progressives

Racist Irish family includes racist cat

There’s a new book out that depicts Irish people as gurning ginger-haired imbeciles who do Irish jigs in the garden and eat bacon and cabbage every day. Who produced this offensive tome? Must have been some Neanderthal bigots, right, who wish it was still the 1970s and still acceptable to Paddy-bash? Actually, it was a leading Irish publisher of school textbooks, and the book in question was intended for Irish schoolkids.

Singh can say what he’d like, but there’s only one winner in his breakup with the Liberals

The rooster crowed three times …

Which doesn’t hold a candle to the cock who crowed 13 times (in English, didn’t count the French) on Thursday morning about ripping up the NDP-Liberal pre-nup that has kept Prime Minister

Justin Trudeau’s minority government in trembly power for the last 30 months.

That bromance between Trudeau and NDP Leader Jameet Singh — always an awkward marriage of convenience — has been crushed underfoot.

U.S. Campuses: The ‘Taboo’ Ignored Pandemic of Muslim Jew-Hate

The carnage of October 7, 2023 in southern Israel was wrought by an unprovoked attack by the Jew-hating, jihad terror organization Hamas, in conjunction with local Gazan Muslims. Some 1,200 Israelis were murdered, the victims being overwhelmingly non-combatant children, women, men, and the elderly. Atrocities committed against these primarily non-combatant Israelis included, mutilation, torture, beheadings, and mass rape, followed by burning, helpfully documented by the jihadists’ own videos and oral testimony (of captured jihadists), surveillance camera videos, surviving eyewitness testimony of the victims, and forensic pathology evidence.

Chris Selley: The NDP ends a defective deal, but its defective leader remains

So, the deal is off. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh apparently located a few scraps of dignity in some long-forgotten kitchen drawer or closet. Just minutes before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was set for a press conference to give himself yet more credit for the NDP’s national school-lunch program, Singh announced he was calling off the NDP’s two-and-a-half-year-old confidence-and-supply agreement with the governing Liberals.

Trudeau’s Liberals face another big test in Montreal byelection

The federal Liberal brand will be put to the test again in a byelection in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun on Sept. 16 — a contest Liberal Party brass hope won’t deliver a repeat of the party’s failure in a Toronto riding earlier this summer.

The Liberals’ byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s — a riding the party had held for more than 30 years — prompted a lot of soul-searching and griping among Liberal MPs who interpreted the result as a rebuke of their leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

If the LPC loses will Justin finally take the hint? Too vain I suspect.

PolitiFact Hypocritically Labels Trump ‘Pants on Fire’ For Calling Harris a Communist

In 2020, PolitiFact gave Georgia Sen. David Perdue a “pants on fire” rating for claiming that rival Jon Ossoff was a socialist. Now, PolitiFact is at it again, giving Donald Trump a similar “pants on fire” on Wednesday for rating for labeling Kamala Harris a communist.

In the “if your time is short,” section, Amy Sherman summarizes, “Marxism refers to the school of thought inspired by Karl Marx’s analysis of capitalism. Communism is a political system of government or a party that abolishes private property.”

Will Liberals quit on Trudeau?

The real mystery isn’t whether or not the prime minister will stay, it’s whether or not his base will leave.

When it comes to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, many journalists and pundits are asking the wrong question.

They’re asking, “will Trudeau quit the Liberals?” when the more pertinent question is: “will the Liberals quit Trudeau?”

Why is that the more pertinent question? Well, first off, all the signs suggest Trudeau isn’t about to pack it in anytime soon.

MANDEL: Swarming girl who pleaded to manslaughter still doesn’t get it

She is still frighteningly clueless.

Even now, even after watching and rewatching the horrific video of her part in the senseless swarming attack on Kenneth Lee, where she’s enthusiastically hitting, punching and stomping on the vulnerable man — practically doing everything but actually delivering the fatal knife wound — the pig-tailed teen still has no remorse.

Monsters walk among us.
