The continent is changing faster than America
The temperature, at last, is starting to drop — and for Europeans that only means one thing: peak season is over.
The crowds in the piazzas and on the beaches are starting to thin. And in the tavernas that were TikTokked you can finally think about getting a table. It’s time. Like the clockwork of migrating swallows — the Americans are going home.

No serious prosecutor committed to the rule of law would even consider bringing charges in Fulton County.
Lost in the media frenzy surrounding the pre-trial maneuvering in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ RICO case against former President Donald Trump and 18 others is any discussion of what actually happened in the conduct of the 2020 election in Georgia.
The centerpiece of Willis’ case is an hour-long conference call in which Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, “What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state.”

Tucker Carlson says that if legal efforts to block Donald Trump from running for president again fails, the next steps could be assassination and a hot war with Russia to maintain power and unite the population.
“No one will say that but I don’t know how you can’t reach that conclusion. Do you know what I mean? They have decided, permanent Washington and both parties, have decided that there’s something about Trump that’s so threatening to them, they just can’t have it,” Carlson said on the Adam Carolla show.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has once again exposed its unvarnished anti-Israel bias by alleging that Israel systematically targets Palestinian children. The outrageous — and false — allegation was included in a new report published by HRW on August 28 under the title: “West Bank: Spike in Israeli killings of Palestinian children.” The report claims that “the Israeli military and border police forces are killing Palestinian children with virtually no recourse for accountability.”

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. That great champion of free speech Elon Musk is once again expanding censorship policies for X (formerly Twitter), this time for elections.
While Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was in Beijing this week to discuss ways China and Canada can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, one of China’s major state-run media organizations wrote an editorial headlined “Western concerns about China’s coal power growth unnecessary.”
KYIV, Aug 31 (Reuters) – Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to “shut up” on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv’s frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.
Nearly three months since launching a much vaunted counteroffensive using hundreds of billions of dollars of Western military equipment, Ukraine has recaptured more than a dozen villages but has yet to penetrate Russia’s main defences.

Sally Lane says she is “overjoyed” to hear news of her son Jack – even if he’s barely hanging on in a Syrian prison – after years of silence.
Lane says a civil society delegation messaged her from northeastern Syria to report that members had met with Jack after authorities managed to locate him within the prison system.
When I wrote in April that Sadiq Khan could be ousted because of his persecution of motorists, my suggestion was widely panned as delusional. Didn’t I realise that nobody owns a car in our capital city, that London is a Labour rotten borough and that the Tories are finished?
My argument doesn’t look so silly today. The mayor’s nasty, vindictive Ulez cash grab has triggered a wave of French-style civil disobedience, radicalised an outer suburbia that the snooty inner London elite had long forgotten even existed, lost Labour a parliamentary seat it could otherwise have won, and exposed the exorbitant cost to our pocketbooks and freedom of the rush to net zero.

Anita Anand and Chrystia Freeland recently drew public attention to their contrasting personas and political positioning. Anand, now President of the Treasury Board, was ousted as Minister of National Defence, supposedly for advocating too strenuously to fund the cash-strapped military and for excessive self-promotion. Clearly undeterred, she was quick out of the gate of her new gig with a letter to cabinet colleagues ordering them to come up with $15.4 billion in expenditure cuts over the next five years. For her part, Freeland used a commencement address at Northeastern University in Boston to ask rhetorically whether capitalist democracy is still effective.
France’s education ministry has withdrawn a video intended to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Junior’s “I have a dream” speech that featured only white children after receiving a deluge of criticism over the clip.
Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s famous address calling for an end to racism, the one-minute clip features five children speaking in English about their dreams for a greener planet and equal rights.
OTTAWA – Quebecers might be slowly but surely cozying up to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party, poll trends suggest, in a province where voting predictions can rapidly crumble with what can prove to be a volatile and emotional electorate.
Conservatives are used to trailing far behind the Bloc Québécois and the Liberals in Quebec and have rarely managed to make it above the 20-per-cent mark in polls of the province in the last decade. On the rare occasion they do, it’s even rarer for them to hold those numbers for an extended period.
Former US President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in his Georgia election fraud case, waiving the right to appear in court next week.
Mr Trump is among 19 people charged with a conspiracy to overturn the US state’s 2020 vote results.
He turned himself in at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta last week, where he had his mugshot taken.
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the case as politically motivated.
