Why Kween Kamala is still dodging democratic scrutiny

Yesterday, finally, the kween deigned to engage with her subjects. Yes, Kamala Harris did her first sit-down media interview since replacing Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket nearly 40 days ago. For more than a month she’d maintained a monarchical distance from the grubby presses, flat-out refusing a one-to-one with any of its probing hacks. Now she’s relented and had an exclusive chat with CNN’s Dana Bash. The end result? Only one word will do, and it’s a word normally aimed at the other side: weird.

Judge Rules Hunter Biden Can’t Blame His Addiction, Sordid Behavior on ‘Irrelevant’ Life Tragedies in Tax Evasion Trial

Hunter Biden’s defense team in his upcoming tax evasion trial will not be allowed to introduce evidence that childhood and family trauma caused his spiral into crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, a judge has ruled. The federal district court judge, Mark Scarsi, ruled that the 1972 car crash that killed Biden’s mother and baby sister, and the death of his older brother, Beau Biden, in 2015, are “irrelevant” to the case.

Political Earthquake Could Shatter German Establishment in Elections

The anti-immigration, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party is set to achieve its best ever election result as it contests two regional elections in the states of Saxony and Thuringia on Sunday, September 1st.

If confirmed, such results would signal a spectacular rejection of Germany’s ruling parties and could strengthen populist voices across Europe.

ANDRUS: Trudeau more dangerous as his end approaches

The Trudeau government treads water, gasping for air. Their desperation has led to consistent, aggressive overreach into provincial jurisdiction, creating a constant looming threat to the constitutional balance of power in Canada.

Every year, the inner ring of Ottawa’s power players — cabinet — heads off to a quiet part of the country in order to devise the future direction of the country. At last years’ cabinet retreat, the federal government was plotting its recovery in the polls, trying to fend off a new political threat in the surging Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre.

Derek Finkle: Harm reductionists struggle to accept that they’re losing Ontario

A week after the Doug Ford government announced the closure of 10 supervised injection sites in Ontario within 200 metres of schools, harm reduction activists had moved on from denial and were well into the second Kubler-Ross stage of accepting the dire news — anger.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents many of the staff members at the five Toronto injection sites set to close by the end of March 2025, organized a press conference Monday to express their collective rage.

As new school year looms, B’nai Brith puts universities on notice

Hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s hateful anti-Israel campus protests this fall, a Jewish group is putting university administrators on notice.

In letters addressed to the heads of over 80 schools across the country, B’nai Brith Canada is urging universities to apply existing anti-racism and DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) policies to ensure Jewish students are protected from hate — particularly with the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks just around the corner.

‘Joy’ is working for the Kamala campaign, but it won’t work in Canada’s current climate

Canadian politicians love to look down south and try to adopt America’s trends, debates and cultural wars as our own. They rarely fit, but it doesn’t stop them from smashing the wrong puzzle pieces together with their fists and, for example, announcing new Canadian gun control measures after a mass shooting in Texas.

We’re already seeing it happen over the course of the U.S. presidential election campaign. Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen has been trying to transpose the Democrats’ highly effective “weird” label for Republicans onto Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, with little success. Indeed, it’s roughly as effective as trying to cheat off a fellow student’s exam paper when the teacher has scrambled up the order of questions for each test.

Low-wage foreign worker fiasco brings migration debate to B.C. election

You can now add immigration to the list of big issues in B.C.’s Oct. 19 election.

B.C. Conservative party Leader John Rustad raised the challenge publicly, even before his party was strengthened by the dramatic collapse on Wednesday of B.C. United.

Rustad threw down the gauntlet on social media after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted Monday that his government had welcomed too many low-wage foreign workers and it was time to “invest in Canadian workers and youth.”

As a lifelong Jewish Democrat, it pains me to say this.

I have requested anonymity for this essay because there is intense social pressure on American Jews to be anti-Israel, especially on campuses. I am a professor at a liberal arts college where there is intense hostility toward Israel; my Zionism has already caused me to become a pariah on my campus.

If I was to publicly take the next logical step — conclude that drastic political changes are required to stem the public tide of Jew-hatred, even as drastic as supporting the presidential candidate “they” all uniformly despise — I sincerely believe my personal safety would be in question. That is why this essay both needs to be published and to be anonymous. The situation is that dire.

I suppose half-awake is better than not at all. The comments are very good.
