While the conventional wisdom has it that the Platinum Jubilee festivities showed us that the monarchy is secure for a generation at least, Charles seems determined to prove otherwise. His leaked comments over the weekend, condemning the government’s Rwanda migration policy as ‘appalling’, have reminded us that while Queen Elizabeth has done well to maintain an air of neutrality, Prince Charles simply cannot keep his mouth shut.
Nolte: Subscriber Cancellations Force Biggest Newspaper Chain to Reduce Opinion
Gannett, America’s largest newspaper chain, is cutting back on telling its readers what to think due to what must be an alarming number of subscription cancellations.
“Readers don’t want us to tell them what to think,” said the Gannett editors, according to the far-left Washington Post (an outlet that knows all about telling its readers what to think). “They don’t believe we have the expertise to tell anyone what to think on most issues. They perceive us as having a biased agenda.”
The Democrats’ Politicized Gun Control Script
There’s far more at stake than gun-control laws.
For those of us of a certain age, we know that every time some psychopath shoots up a school and murders students, the Democrats will respond with their clichéd demagogic script. Exploiting the natural horror and pathos of such events, the Donks will trot out all the usual gun-policy suspects, the majority of which would not have prevented most of the attacks.

The verdict is in. Everyone waiting outside slips nervously back into the vast Toronto courtroom at 361 University Ave., an amalgam of old wood, blue speckled carpet, fancy office chairs, cameras, flat screens, plastic water bottles, and well-worn pews.

Runaway energy prices require a green energy rethink
The chits for years of inflationary green energy policies are coming due to record-high energy prices and unreliable electrical grids.
