What’s behind Macron’s fury? The secrecy of the AUKUS talks suggests a deliberate hit on Paris

Jean-Yves Le Drian, the French foreign minister, is a cautious man, solid, reliable, even a little dull. He is not (unlike some French politicians) prone to empty gestures or over-dramatic statements. On Saturday night, on live television, Mr Le Drian, accused the United States government of lying to France. He also accused Australia of “lies and duplicity”.

Britain, he said, was guilty merely of its “usual opportunism”. Boris Johnson’s government was the “fifth wheel on the cart” in an unfriendly conspiracy against France by the two other English-speaking nations.

Fearless prediction – This black-faced asshole will be re-elected PM in a minority government – Election day

Alas my prediction came to be. The result will be a second LPC government.

I see no reason for a Conservative party leadership review of Erin O’Toole’s tenure. O’Toole was successful in turning the CPC centre left and championing the widespread availability of sphincter relaxant. Mission accomplished.

The Lesson of Afghanistan – The high cost of treating Pakistan as an ally.

Jonathan Ariel argues that the American debacle in Afghanistan can be traced back to Washington’s failure, decades ago, to confront Pakistan over its support of the Taliban, which has sometimes been hidden but never wavered.

Teaching children to hate each other

A supply teacher in Leeds told her class that ‘white children think they are superior’.

The influence of identity politics has become a serious problem in Britain’s schools. Some teachers now seem to think it is acceptable to present critical race theory or ideas of ‘white privilege’ as fact. And others choose to exploit their position by filling young, impressionable minds with religious bigotry.

CAIR’s 9/11 Tips to Teachers Whitewash Islamist Role in Attack – They want children to connect 9/11 with white supremacy.

With a new generation of American adults born after 9/11, the simple reminder to “never forget” that dark day in human history remains as urgent as ever. Yet, unknown to most Americans, a campaign is underway that seeks to dramatically alter the way that children learn about 9/11, transforming the United States from victim to villain and rejecting any Islamist links to the massacre.

Trafficking in this new, revisionist narrative is an ideological cousin of the jihadists who executed the 9/11 attacks. Though they may differ in strategy and tactics — and indeed may swear off violence altogether — Islamists who embrace some of the same anti-Western, supremacist beliefs as al-Qaida are pressuring educators to rethink how they teach 9/11 to young American students.

Biden Is Desperate to Regain Bases, Intel, Allies He Threw Away in Afghanistan

President Joe Biden is desperate to get back what he gave away in his badly bungled bugout from Afghanistan, as revealed in a new AP report.

The AP puts the best spin on the story it can, only briefly mentioning in the lead what it politely calls “the backdrop of the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.” But as it turns out, the Joint Chiefs chair and China hack Gen. Mark Milley “is meeting in Greece with NATO counterparts this weekend, hoping to forge more basing, intelligence sharing and other agreements to prevent terrorist groups from regrouping.”

Haitian migrants cross back into Mexico as deportation flights begin

Thousands of Haitian migrants have begun streaming back across the Rio Grande river to Mexico after the Biden administration said it will step up deportation flights to return them to the Caribbean nation.

Images show crowds of men, women and children wading into the chest-deep water, some holding their belongings over their heads and others moving hand-to-hand along a yellow rope strung across the waterway near Del Rio, Texas.

‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh who supported 9/11 and met with Bin Laden published anti-America op-ed under new name as ‘former POW’ on the 20th anniversary of the attacks

‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh has penned an op-ed under the name Yahya Lindh that was published on the day the nation marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

The bizarre opinion piece, published by The Intercept, does not identify the author as the notorious American who left his northern California home to fall in with the Taliban and met Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Headlined ‘The Guantánamo Bay Internment Camp Is an Unresolved Vestige of the American Occupation of Afghanistan,’ the article marks his most public overture since being released from prison after serving a 17-year sentence and otherwise maintaining a very low profile.

Jonathan Kay: After this grubby campaign, who in their right mind would want to run for office?

… And no, I am not back-ending this column into a pro-Erin-O’Toole manifesto (it’s too late for that, anyway). Historically, the Conservatives have recruited much of their young talent from the ranks of right-leaning business owners, activists, lawyers and community leaders. But the post-Harper years have marked what is basically a steady renunciation of almost every identifiably conservative idea or principle that might be seized upon as grist for aforesaid Liberal (and media) demagoguery.

Trudeau in blackface row (again) Not a great look…

Justin Trudeau’s snap election has just gone from bad to worse. The incumbent Canadian prime minister decided last month to call a snap election to improve his parliamentary standing.

It was a contest no one wanted (or expected) and the move seems to have backfired spectacularly. Hectored by anti-vaxxers, lambasted for his COVID record and lampooned as ‘UnCanadian’ for calling a contest in a pandemic, Trudeau is hoping to preserve his current number of seats, let alone dream of increasing it.

We’ll be discussing the results as they come in, welcoming a number of special guests and we’ll also have reporters in Toronto and Saskatoon at the Conservative Party and PPC’s victory parties.

Unlike the legacy media, we won’t be discussing how fancy Trudeau’s socks are or pushing leftist pet causes on you. Instead, we’ll be focussing on the issues that matter to Canadians.

Canadians deserve extensive coverage of election night, and that’s exactly what we’re striving to do tonight.

I hope to see you tonight.

Thank you,

Biden administration asks Pentagon to send military to border

DEL RIO, Texas — The Biden administration has requested that the Pentagon send military forces to the southern border to get control of the deteriorating situation, according to the secretary of Homeland Security.

The admission was the first time Alejandro Mayorkas has confirmed that DHS is seeking the Pentagon’s help. It comes amid a crisis in south-central Texas, where at least 15,000 migrants illegally crossed by the Del Rio-Acuna International Bridge late last week.

China’s ugliest buildings: contest to celebrate unsightly architecture begins

An infamous “hall of shame” listing of China’s top 10 “ugliest” buildings has kicked off with 87 bizarre designs in the running, including a violin-shaped church and an Inner Mongolia hotel in the form of a monstrous babushka doll.

Over the past 11 years a Chinese architecture website, archcy.com, has been inviting people to vote in the lighthearted annual contest that it hopes will encourage people to ponder the flexible notion of beauty.
