When Justin Trudeau called the federal election, he probably envisaged selling Liberal policies in Conservative-held ridings. A week later, he finds himself attacking Conservative policies in Liberal ridings that may flip to his political opponents if his fortunes don’t improve. As the first public opinion poll showing the Conservatives overtaking the Liberals appeared, so Trudeau’s assault on Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole became more furious. In a baking parking lot bordering the Miramichi River, in front of a couple of hundred broiling New Brunswickers, Trudeau’s stump speech assailed O’Toole for his position on pandemic relief, mandatory vaccination, childcare and private health...

President Joe Biden will not fire anyone in his administration over the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to an Axios report. Citing, “people familiar with the matter,” Axios reported that senior national security and intelligence officials can rest easy in their jobs despite their failure not only to anticipate a complete collapse of the legitimate Afghan government but also to plan for a smooth exit from the country. A number of top officials have been at the forefront of Biden’s staggering failure, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and CIA...

If you’ve been paying attention to some of the brighter lights in conservative media, you might have noticed an absolutely excellent point being made. Tucker Carlson made it. At the Federalist, so did John Daniel Davidson. There have been others. The point is this: the academic and institutional Left in America and elsewhere in the West spent a whole lot of time over the past two decades attempting to school the backward Afghans as to modern woke attitudes, and that greatly hurt the mission of supporting a non-terrorist government there. At the end of the day, Afghanistan fell to the...

Good Morning AND WELCOME TO THE CHRIS PLANTE SHOW! Mr. Plante, Famous For His Edgy Style,Talks About The Current Events Of The Day!

The most prominent Catholic high school in Arizona has decided to require masks and COVID-19 vaccines for students and staff, sparking outrage. Brophy College Preparatory, where Governor Doug Ducey’s children attended, announced the policy earlier this month. Any student who refuses to be vaccinated will be required to undergo onerous testing twice a week, and the mask mandate will be in place indoors until at least September 10. Oddly, the girls’ associated high school, Xavier Prep, does not have a vaccine mandate; if the vaccine is so imperative, why are they exempt? The mandate is strange considering there is no...

Extinction Rebellion has begun two weeks of climate protests in London with activists demanding the government stops new investment in fossil fuels. The campaign group expects thousands of people will take part in their "Impossible Rebellion", which will "target the root cause of the climate and ecological crisis". The protests began on Monday morning, with activists gathering at Trafalgar Square, in what is its fifth mass demonstration. Gail Bradbrook, the group's co-founder, gave a speech expressing solidarity with nations that are disproportionately affected by climate change. Campaigners held placards with messages including "Code red, where's the action" while four people...

Health experts say there are two main reasons the Delta variant hit Israel so hard. For one, Israelis were flouting the mask requirements, which were re-imposed at the end of June. Now police are handing out fines to those who do not wear a face covering. The other reason given for the high rate of infection is that most Israelis were vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, which data shows is less effective than the Moderna jab against the virus.

Vice President Kamala Harris nervously laughed and dismissed a reporter's inquiry as she headed to Singapore amid Afghanistan chaos. Harris initially claimed to have had a key role and that she was 'the last person in the room' when Biden chose to follow through with the May 1 deadline to retreat US troops from Afghanistan. But her remarkable absence and lack of communication with the media and the American public have not escaped backlash, as 47% of likely voters found her 'not at all qualified' to become President, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll. In a newly-unearthed part of a...

Rep. Liz Cheney said President Biden should have ignored his predecessor’s negotiated May 1 withdrawal deadline with the Taliban and disregarded the advice of military leaders — decisions she claimed has led to Americans “probably being held hostage” in war-torn Afghanistan. “President Biden is the president of the United States and he’s had no problem in reversing course on other things. He decided he’s going to rejoin the JCPOA. He decided he’s going to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. He’s reversed a number of decisions of the Trump administration,” Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the...

There is a dangerous perception perpetrated by mainstream media and woefully ignorant Biden and his minions that the Taliban are a homogenous legally constituted government, and a unified entity. That they definitely are not. The predominantly Pashtun Taliban are deadly terrorist thugs skilled with small arms and explosives. They are motivated by the opportunity for personal enrichment and power over women and young boys by coercion and intimidation of otherwise peaceful farms and goat herders. They extort the populace in their immediate areas of control for “taxes” on crops, principally opium from poppies. Afghanistan has for years produced more than...

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been staying with one of his sisters in Westchester County in the final days of his third term, recently has asked staff members at the Executive Mansion if anyone would like to keep his dog, Captain, who has remained at the state-owned residence after the governor moved out last week. Two State Police sources told the Times Union on Saturday that the governor had recently asked mansion staff members if anyone would be interested in caring for the dog. Captain — a high-strung mix of shepherd, Siberian and malamute — has nipped...

Sean Parnell, the Afghanistan war veteran who led the infamous “Outlaw Platoon” for more than a year of heavy fighting against the Taliban and terrorists, is surging in his bid to become Pennsylvania’s next U.S. Senator as Democrat President Joe Biden fails in his withdrawal from the 20-year war in Afghanistan. “Pennsylvania voters are seeking candidates for office who will put America and the people of our great nation first,” Parnell told Breitbart News. “If the chaos in Afghanistan has highlighted anything, it’s the fact that there’s a gigantic leadership vacuum in Washington, DC. The only way to fix that...

Qatar | Special Dispatch No. 9503 The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban's takeover of the country sparked many reactions worldwide, including in the Arab world. Conspicuous among these reactions were expressions of joy by Islamist organizations such as Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the International Union of Muslim Scholars and various elements identified with the Muslim Brotherhood.

How it started:That would be with The Great Self-esteem Movement of the 70’s-80s, in which teachers and parents began to pour unconditional praise on children and to shelter them from adverse consequences and criticism. Accordingly, all of the children were above average. Indeed between the late 60s and 2004, the proportion of first year university students claiming an A average in high school rose from 18% to 48%, despite the fact that SAT scores had actually fallen. At best the participation trophy era created a generation of narcissistic underachievers. At worst it created a batch of nincompoops.How it ended:Incompetent nincompoopery...

Taliban spokesperson Dr Suhail Shaheen said: "It's a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that." He added: "If the US or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations - the answer is no. Or there would be consequences.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Connie Hamzy, immortalized in a No. 1 rock ‘n’ roll hit by Grand Funk Railroad in 1973, died after a brief illness, KARK-TV reported. She was 66. Hamzy was the subject in the opening verses of Grand Funk Railroad’s hit, “We’re An American Band,” which spent 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100”S. "Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act/She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact,” sang drummer Don Brewer, who also wrote the song. “I was determined to become a famous groupie,” Hamzy told KTHV in 2019. “I really was. Beginning in the...

A rightwing protest in Portland on Sunday has culminated in a gunfight, when antifascist demonstrators returned fire at a man who shot at them with a handgun in a downtown street.

Monday, August 23, 2021 Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 23:13-22 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus launches a blistering attack on the scribes and Pharisees. The Son teaches, heals, preaches to, and forgives those who feel far from the mercy of God. He is the hand that the Father stretches out to sinners and to those who are lost. And by the same token, he is the judge of a sinful world. When the light of God’s forgiving love appears, the shadows of sin become all the deeper and more obvious. In light of him, there is nowhere to hide....
