“If you’ve ever taken part in the weekly VIP Gold live chat with HotAir’s Ed Morrissey and myself, you’ve probably heard me utter the phrase “everything is stupid and it’s only getting worse.” I’m sure there are exceptions to that rule, but when it comes to the arguments of anti-gunners, that phrase definitely applies.”
Canadian Political Leaders ‘Did Not Act’ to Resolve CCP Interference Compared to Australia: Report
While Canada and Australia have received similar intelligence that China is interfering in all levels of government, a new study says Canberra took actions to push back while Canadian political leaders “did not act” and allowed Chinese interference to flourish.
“In Ottawa, intelligence agencies reportedly found in 2017 that the CCP was interfering at ‘all levels of government’. In contrast with Australia, however, Canada’s political leaders did not act, and the problem of CCP interference continued to grow,” says a report compiled by China analysts John Garnaut, Matthew Johnson, Prudence Luttrell, and an anonymised researcher.
Trump slams ‘enemies,’ Stormy Daniels’ ‘extortion plot’ ahead of possible arrest: ‘They are all sick’
It was a restless night for Donald Trump, who ripped into ex-porn star Stormy Daniels on Monday, claiming he’s a victim as a possible criminal indictment looms.
Trump launched the tirade on his social media platform Truth Social, saying he was the victim of a “Stormy ‘Horse Face’ Daniels extortion plot,” since alleging his impending arrest by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over an alleged hush-money payment to the former adult film star before the 2016 election.
Trudeau Conservative interference study motion won’t be a confidence vote
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the vote later today on the Conservative motion calling for a new study into foreign interference will not be a confidence vote.
“It’s not going to be a confidence motion. Obviously it goes to how important the issue of foreign interference is,” Trudeau said on his way into a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning.
Xi nixed it.
Cory Morgan: Is the Jig Finally up for the ‘Upper Levels’ Who Ignored CSIS Warnings on CCP Interference?
The trickle of information on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in Canadian affairs has turned into a torrent. Current and former intelligence officials are coming out and reporting a pattern of government indifference to CCP interference in domestic affairs that spans back decades. Governments and political leaders have managed to ignore the problem with impunity so far.
Will that finally change with the latest revelations?

American College of Physicians warns of ‘urgent threat’ posed by highly contagious FUNGUS that has a kill rate of 60%
An influential US medical panel is warning about the dangers of a rapidly spreading deadly fungus — just a week after the hit zombie show The Last of Us wrapped up.
The American College of Physicians (ACAP) said the rise and spread of antibiotic-resistant cases of Candida auris, also known as C auris, is ‘particularly concerning’.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) already described the fungus, which kills up to 60 percent of people it infects, as an ‘urgent threat’ in 2019.

Why Doug Ford’s government spends more than $6B/year subsidizing hydro rates
When Premier Doug Ford’s government tables its new budget on Thursday, expect to see more than $6 billion devoted to subsidizing hydro bills.
Although previous Liberal governments also spent taxpayer money on lowering electricity prices, Ford’s Progressive Conservatives have taken it to such a level that it is now one of the single biggest line items in the Ontario budget.
The 2022-23 provincial budget earmarked $6.3 billion for “electricity cost-relief programs,” nearly four times as much as the $1.6 billion Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals budgeted for such programs in 2018.
Xi Jinping says China ready to ‘stand guard over world order’ on Moscow visit
Xi Jinping said China was ready with Russia “to stand guard over the world order based on international law” as he arrived for a state visit to Moscow that comes days after Vladimir Putin was made the subject of an arrest warrant by the international criminal court.
The Chinese leader is expected to position himself as a potential peacemaker in the Ukraine war during his two-day visit to Russia – his first state visit since Putin’s invasion. For his part, the Russian president will be hoping to project unity in the face of western isolation, as the US condemned Xi for providing “diplomatic cover” for Moscow to continue to commit further crimes in Ukraine.

How We Know That ‘Woke’ Is Losing
Rather than change their tactics, progressives change the language — as they’ve done so many times before.
We find ourselves in the middle of an exhaustingly familiar spectacle in which the American Left and its allies in media pretend that a word with an all but universally understood definition is all of a sudden incomprehensible. Today, that word is “woke.”
The rise of the Z stars indoctrinating a new generation of Russians
She doesn’t have the flowing locks, soaring voice, or radiant smile of Vera Lynn. But for Russian “turbo-patriots” who cheer Putin’s war with Ukraine, there’s a modern forces’ sweetheart every bit as inspiring: Yulia Chicherina.
Her dark, short-cropped curls often encased in a black balaclava, her guitar strung over military fatigues, she performs her self-penned songs to troops in draughty halls in occupied Ukrainian towns and forest clearings behind the trenches.
