There Is No Virtue Left to Signal
You probably saw on Wednesday that Bill Clinton failed to appear before the House Oversight Committee, which had lots of questions for him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Hillary Clinton was due to appear before the committee Thursday, and it was fairly obvious she was going to refuse the appearance as well.
As a result, contempt of Congress proceedings will commence next week.
WTF?
The prompts were simple.
First, I told @grok to look at every single Amelia meme on the Internet.
Second, I said: “Become Amelia, then make a video and tell the British people what you want them to know.”
Here’s the surprising result. pic.twitter.com/dGY0OvKcQ4

Good stuff.
From crime to culture wars, Pierre Poilievre’s leadership isn’t the only thing on the agenda at the Conservative convention
OTTAWA—When party faithful gather at the Conservative convention in Calgary later this month, they’ll be thinking about a lot more than Pierre Poilievre’s leadership vote.
Tory grassroots will also be sinking their teeth into meaty debates as they work to update the party’s constitution and policy book.
While party leaders are not forced to include policies adopted at the convention in future election campaigns, a refreshed policy blueprint can solidify a party’s identity: something the Conservatives need after their fourth straight election loss.
The Tides Foundation Model: Power Without Visibility
The Tides Foundation rarely appears prominently in public debate, yet it occupies a critical position in modern American civic life. It is not a political party, a campaign committee, or a government agency. It does not pass laws, issue rulings, or command police forces. And yet, through its structure, it exerts influence over how laws are enforced, how public norms are shaped, and how activism is sustained.
Former CBC human resources employee sues over workplace so toxic staff were given a ‘crying room’
A former CBC human resources employee is suing the national broadcaster claiming he was forced to leave a work environment so toxic and discriminatory there was a designated “crying room” so employees could deal with office stress.
The lawsuit also alleges CBC management in its northern operations kept a secret “do not hire” list that disproportionately blacklisted marginalized, disabled and Indigenous people.
‘Locked and Loaded’?: Is Trump Abandoning the Courageous Iranians – Again?
It has been nearly two weeks since US President Donald J. Trump threatened the Iranian regime with military intervention for killing its demonstrating citizens.
“If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social on January 2, about five days into the Iranian protests. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”
China EV deal puts Canada’s entire auto sector at risk, industry leaders say
The Canada-China trade deal announced early Friday puts the future of Canada’s entire automotive industry at risk and concedes ground to “hostile” players in the market, say Canadian automotive industry leaders.
“This is a self-inflicted wound to an already injured Canadian auto industry,” said Unifor national president Lana Payne in a press release reacting to news of the deal, which allows 49,000 Chinese EVs a year into Canada, at the “most-favoured nation” tariff rate of 6.1 per cent.
Pentagon to overhaul independent military newspaper, calling it ‘woke’
The Defense Department said it plans to overhaul Stars and Stripes, the storied military newspaper that has long enjoyed editorial independence, to rid it of “woke distractions” and refocus coverage on “warfighting.”
Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesperson, announced the plan in a Thursday morning post on X.
“The Department of War is returning Stars & Stripes to its original mission: reporting for our warfighters,” Parnell wrote, using the Trump administration’s preferred name for the Defense Department. He wrote that the Pentagon will “modernize” the publication and “refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members.”
HUNTER: Will activist judges destroy RCMP’s new public sex offender registry?
Convicted sex offender Michael L’Enfant offered his teen target a cute addendum to his twisted missives.
It was a SHHHH emoji, meaning, let’s keep this quiet. Our little secret. That emoji is a perfect stand-in for a justice system that cares not a whit for victims of sexual assault, be they young or old. The privacy rights of pedophiles and rapists trumps everything.
The Perpetual Climate Panic Machine ‘Collapses’
Global warming has gone cold as an issue. Despite decades of panicked predictions of doom, it’s never been a high priority for voters, and Trump’s bold expressions of “climate denial” went unpunished by voters.
The media still sound allied with the Green New Deal pushers, but the thrill is gone. Last November, leftists blasted ABC, CBS, and NBC for barely touching the “COP30” global climate summit in Brazil. (PBS gave it nearly 16 minutes, and ten of it was a John Kerry softball interview.)
Trump seems unconcerned about Canada-China trade deal: ‘If you can get a deal with China, you should do that’
Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House, was asked about the Canada-China deal. The U.S. president didn’t sound too fussed.
“It’s OK. That’s what he should be doing. It’s a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that,” Trump said, referring to Carney.

Mixed Signals: Trump backs Canada-China trade deal, contradicting own administration
… “I think it’s problematic for Canada,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC Friday morning. “There’s a reason why we don’t sell a lot of Chinese cars in the United States. It’s because we have tariffs to protect American auto workers and Americans from those vehicles.”
Megan Rapinoe, Elliot Page, Naomi Watts, Appear in ACLU Ad Supporting Trans Youth
Naomi Watts and Elliot Page (formerly Ellen) are just two of several star names coming out in support of transgender children in a new American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) awareness campaign.

Doug Speaks!
NEW: Premier Doug Ford says PM Carney didn’t inform the Ontario government about the EV tariff reversal before striking the deal with China.

Ontario premier slams Canada’s ‘lopsided’ new EV deal with China
Ontario Premier Doug Ford isn’t mincing words about Canada’s new electric vehicle deal with China, saying Friday that Chinese manufacturers are gaining a foothold in the country’s auto market at the expense of workers in this country.
“The federal government is inviting a flood of cheap made-in-China electric vehicles without any real guarantee of equal or immediate investments in Canada’s economy, auto sector or supply chain,” Ford said in a statement issued shortly after news of the deal broke.
‘Charlie Hebdo’ cartoon on Swiss fire tragedy sparks outrage
On average, the cartoons published on the Instagram account of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo get a few hundred reactions, but a recent drawing by cartoonist Eric Salch has prompted more than 15,000 social media users to express their dismay.
