The Gollum Possibility at the DNC

In the climactic scene of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Frodo, and Samwise approach the end of their quest to destroy the great Ring of Power and with it, Sauron’s evil empire. They have survived every kind of danger and have made their way against all odds into the heart of the Dark Land to the volcano, Mount Doom, the only place where the ring can be destroyed.

But having gone through so much, at the last moment, Frodo, who carried the Ring, is finally overcome by the Ring’s greatest danger: It infects the heart, mind, and soul of its bearer with the desire to make its power their own. Standing by the side of the cracks that open onto the seething magma at the volcano’s core, Frodo announces that he will not do what he had pledged to do and that the Ring is now his.

Iran’s Mullahs and Their Deadly Serious Plan: The Total Annihilation of Israel and the US

Death To Israel Missile Iran

The war initiated against Israel on October 7 by the Iranian regime, along with its proxies and terrorist groups — Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iraqi Shia militias — is far more than a minor skirmish or an isolated act of aggression.

The conflict appears to be a meticulously orchestrated campaign aimed at the total annihilation, at this point, of the Jewish state.

Canada’s immigration systems needs to be rescued from Trudeau

The Liberals have piloted the Canadian immigration system for nearly a decade, and they’ve only abused their time in the cockpit. Turns out, it’s pretty easy to drive the machine into the ground in just nine years.

It’s a shame, because responsible, orderly immigration has been great for Canada, helping create a growing, wonderfully diverse nation with a quality of life unmatched nearly anywhere else in the world.

Germany freezes Ukraine military aid as budget crisis hits at home

Germany has frozen its military aid to Ukraine, claiming that a domestic budgetary crisis means it can no longer afford to supply Kyiv with new weapons.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, told his defence minister this month that there would be no money available for further military aid, according to a new report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper.

Boris Pistorius, the defence minister, had written up a wish list for €4 billion (£3.4 billion) in additional military supplies to Ukraine, but a letter sent to him by the finance ministry made clear that no extra money would be freed up because of the need to cut federal spending.

Nearly one-quarter of Canadians will use food banks in fall: StatsCan

An alarming number of Canadians — about 23% — say their finances are so bad they’ll have to rely on a food bank this fall, according to Statistics Canada, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

The rate was higher than reported in Canadian Social Surveys during the pandemic when it sat at 21% in 2021.

“Findings from the current analysis show certain groups are experiencing greater financial strain due to rising prices including those with lower incomes, younger adults, households with children and persons with disability,” wrote Stats Can analysts.

Economics professor says No Frills store’s decision to lock up cheese speaks to broader societal issues

An economics professor with Sudbury’s Laurentian University says a grocery store chain’s choice to lock up certain cheeses and instructing customers to ask a cashier for assistance is an indication of a broader problem.

Louis-Philippe Rochon says the issue points to a much bigger societal issue than simply trying to deter theft.

The signage, spotted at a Vancouver No Frills store, owned by Loblaw, shows the locked up 250g wedges of President’s Choice Splendido Parmigiano Reggiano and President’s Choice Splendido Grana Padano, priced at $9.99 each.

Canadian markets naturally lend themselves to government abetted oligarchy.

Why this Democratic convention will not be like Chicago in 1968

When 21-year-old Indiana University philosophy student Craig Sautter drove to Chicago for the 1968 Democratic National Convention, he had an “inkling” that he would be in for a “wild day”.

There had been a series of riots after the back-to-back assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy just months before, and he could tell that simmering tensions were ready to boil over when thousands of protesters, police, politicians and delegates gathered in Chicago in August 1968 to pick who would be the next Democratic candidate for president.

Yet the young anti-Vietnam War activist was still shocked by what he saw: National Guardsmen with bayonets, protesters ripped from cars or beaten with police batons, and thick clouds of tear gas wafting through crowds of thousands.

Fake Graves Industry Hits Jackpot As Trudeau Re-Opens Cash Spigot

Following criticism, Ottawa removes funding caps for residential school searches

OTTAWA – The federal government is backtracking on a move to limit funding for searches of former residential school grounds.

Communities could previously receive up to $3 million per year through the Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund, but the government had moved to cap funding at $500,000.
