Could anyone have imagined twenty years ago or even in the darkest days of the Obama administration that Islamic terrorists would feel free to rampage across the streets of Manhattan waving terrorist flags?

NEW: John McCain’s son, Jimmy, says he is so disgusted that Trump would turn Arlington into a "campaign backdrop" that he is voting for Kamala.
Ironically, in 1999, John McCain himself used Arlington National Cemetery as a "campaign backdrop."

Trudeau should step down to prevent Poilievre from winning election: LGBTQ+ activists
LGBTQ+ activists say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to remain the Liberal leader through to the next election, despite dwindling public support, is putting them at risk.
Queer advocates say a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre would be dangerous for the LGBTQ+ community, and some are calling on Trudeau to step aside to give the Liberals a better chance at winning the next election — which must happen by Oct. 20, 2025.
Sarah Worthman, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative, says she’s seriously concerned about the potential harm of a Conservative government for LGBTQ+ Canadians.
You can’t take people like this seriously, they have a weird need to justify themselves by inventing drama.

Instead of having dozens of Secret Service agents on his detail for the July 13 rally, Trump was mostly guarded by Homeland Security agents who only received online webinar training before the event, Hawley (R-Mo.) said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday evening.
“A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,” Hawley claimed.
This was allowed to “happen.”
Today’s Liberal party energy policies are “absolutely mad, insane” and “a recipe for disaster,” and those advocating them have “no business in public policy,” says former Liberal MP Dan McTeague.
Today, McTeague is President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, a group originally set up by New Brunswick West MP John Williamson, to “challenge governments in Canada to prioritize affordable energy when legislating and regulating environmental and energy policies.”

Bus service to help Jewish Londoners feel safe
The mayor of London has launched a trial bus route in north London to help Jewish Londoners feel “safe when they travel”.
The 310 bus runs every 20 minutes between Stamford Hill in Hackney and Golders Green in Barnet.
It was launched in response to longstanding requests from the Jewish community for a service connecting the neighbourhoods, the mayor’s office said.

TORONTO—Canada is closing its doors to more visitors and temporary residents by approving fewer visas and turning away more people who reach its borders with official documents, according to government data obtained by Reuters.
The spike in rejections of foreign travellers comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, trailing in polls ahead of an election expected next year, tries to lower the numbers of temporary residents—and possibly permanent immigrants. Migrants have been blamed for the shortage and high prices of housing.
All of a sudden they can stop the flood? Did Trudeau suddenly remember we had a border patrol? What a miracle.
Net zero rules and a lack of consumer incentives to buy EVs risk pushing the market to failure
When the Government announced laws forcing carmakers to sell more electric vehicles (EVs), ministers hailed it as a triumph that would put Britain at the vanguard of the clean energy transition.
Eight months later, however, and there are fears these ambitions are making hard contact with reality.
The zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, which came into force in January, requires 22pc of new cars sold in the UK to be electric in 2024, rising annually to 80pc by 2030.
For the last 10 years, Amélie Brack’s property-management company had no trouble renting out both halves of a duplex near St. Lawrence College in Kingston, one of Canada’s most notable student-dominated cities renowned for its high proportion of out-of-town students, with both St. Lawrence and Queen’s University in the area.
This year, it’s still not rented out as the fall school term is about to start – a first for her. It’s not the only unit going empty, after demand for student housing in Kingston drastically fell in the past few months.
It’s a mystery.
It now appears likely that Canada and the United States are having a so-called soft landing and will avoid a recession, and that the worst of inflation is over and is coming down to manageable proportions. However, it should be remembered that the management of the COVID pandemic produced a profound recession—replete with immeasurable psychological damage, economic dislocation to many, and deterioration in education standards—that produced an unnecessary recession. This was a generous gift to the People’s Republic of China which exported the COVID pandemic and greatly profited from it, despite the extreme severity with which Beijing repressed the pandemic within its own borders. And while it is true that the rate of inflation has now been very substantially reduced, it is also true that there was no excuse for the rate of inflation to have jumped as it did in the last five years.
Think there are real consequences associated with kidnapping and murdering U.S. citizens? Think again.
Perhaps the most affecting moment of the Democratic Party’s nominating convention was the speech given by the parents of Hamas hostage and U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
The 23-year-old captive’s parents showed all the anguish and anxiety that would befall anyone in their unendurable position. With wavering voices, they recounted Hersh’s story. An attendee of the Nova music festival, he was featured in one of the grizzly videos Hamas terrorists took of their demonic works, being dragged off into Gaza after part of his left arm had been blown off by a hand grenade — a wound he suffered while attempting to save his friends from a similar fate. As television cameras at the DNC wheeled around to the audience, attendees could be seen brushing away tears. Democrats felt every ounce of their pain. Together with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the attendees resolved to “bring them home.”
I have never had the sense that the Biden admin wished to acknowledge that American citizens were among the hostages as if to do so would mean commitment by default to the Israeli side.
In what has become a rare circumstance in recent years, managers of the Texas power grid at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) just successfully endured a summer during which they were not forced to issue conservation warnings or resort to other extraordinary measures to preserve grid integrity on a single day. This uneventful summer was achieved despite the setting of new record power demand on several days in August. Texas has learned its lessons.
