Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont resigned from the Conservative caucus Tuesday — and he's joining the Liberals. In a statement disseminated by the Liberal Party, d'Entremont said he decided to leave the Conservatives after "serious consideration and thoughtful conversations with constituents." "I came to a clear conclusion: there is a better path forward for our country — and a better path forward for Acadie-Annapolis," he said. D'Entremont won that rural Nova Scotia riding by about one percentage point over his Liberal opponent in the spring federal election.

The Fox News Decision Desk has projected that Democrat Jay Jones will become the next attorney general of Virginia. Jones overcame weeks of burgeoning scandals, and voters looked past them to pick the Norfolk Democrat over incumbent Republican Jason Miyares, who burnished his record of going after drug companies, gangbangers and traffickers. Jones, the son of longtime Norfolk delegate Jerrauld Jones and a former Biden Justice Department staffer, beat back dueling scandals over a 116 mph reckless driving arrest featuring scrutinized affidavits of 1,000 community service hours sworn to by his own political action committee and the NAACP of Virginia....

Gen Z is cringing at the prospect of working with other Gen Z-ers, continuing a trend among some workers in which they dislike working with the younger generation, according to a new report. An Edubirdie survey of 2,000 Gen Z-ers found that 31 percent feel they’re the most annoying to work with. That was compared to just 20 percent who said baby boomers were the worst. Why It Matters Gen Z has developed a reputation for being difficult to work with. A recent Intelligent.com survey found that one in six businesses said they were hesitant to hire recent college graduates...

The Knesset’s National Security Committee, chaired by MK Tzvika Foghel, on Monday approved for a first reading the "Death Penalty for Terrorists" bill. The bill stipulates that “a terrorist who murders an Israeli citizen out of racism or hostility toward a public, with the intent to harm the State of Israel or the revival of the Jewish people in its homeland, shall be sentenced to death, and to this punishment alone.” Additionally, the proposal amends the law so that a death sentence could be imposed by a military court with a simple majority of judges, rather than a unanimous decision....

Freed hostage Segev Kalfon, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival on October 7, said his Hamas captors told him they intensified their beatings against him and other hostages because of inflammatory comments made by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, describing a brutal routine of violence and starvation during his two years in captivity. In a Channel 12 interview aired Saturday, following his release under the October ceasefire deal, Kalfon said, “Whatever Ben Gvir said or did, they’d take it out on us.” In a separate interview aired Saturday on Ynet, Kalfon recounted that around the 270th...

RESERVATIONS Recently, someone stopped by my office, handed me two sheets of paper, and said something to the effect of, "You're always sharing something with people; here's something for you." Then he was gone. Like so many encounters we have along life's way, this one was brief. But it left a lasting impression...and brightened my whole day. The article is definitely a "keeper". Originally written by Jonathan Lee for the Washington Post, it is entitled "Reservations of an Airline Agent". I've abbreviated it due to limited space, but the point is unchanged. Enjoy! "I work in the central reservation...

State Senate president rejects midcycle changes to congressional map as ‘too risky’Gov. Wes Moore (D) hinted that he may move ahead with plans to redraw the state’s eight congressional districts, and to call a possible special session, despite opposition from a key lawmaker. Senate President Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City), in a letter to Senate Democrats Tuesday, said he opposed mid-cycle redistricting, which he called “too risky” for Democrats who could end up losing a seat in their efforts to redraw congressional districts to gain one. Ferguson said that redistricting in the middle of a decade “twists rules for potential short-term...

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for state employees lost 71 percent of a $468 million private equity investment into clean energy. Because CalPERS pension benefits are only 79 percent funded, the California taxpayer and state government have to make up for the other 21 percent. With a high pension shortfall of $180 billion, CalPERS’ investment strategies into private equity have come under scrutiny, per The Center Square: CalPERS committed $465 million to the private equity CalPERS Clean Energy & Technology Fund (CETF) in 2007, ultimately paying in $468,423,814. Since then, the cash out and remaining investment value of...

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is leading incumbent New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in the New York gubernatorial race, according to polling. In a poll released Tuesday, the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, finds Stefanik getting 43 percent support compared to Hochul’s 42 percent — a statistical tie that still gives the House Republican a slight edge… Nine percent of those surveyed said they support someone else, while 7 percent said they are “not sure.” The results mark a major reversal from just a couple of months ago, when an August Siena College poll showed Hochul with a 14-point...

A good government group is seeking Justice Department records about a Biden-era official’s role in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s lawfare against then-candidate Donald Trump. In its Wednesday lawsuit, the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) requested the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the DOJ to hand over documents related to Matthew Colangelo‘s transition from the department to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in December 2022. As The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland previously reported, Colangelo — who was the third highest-ranking official at the Biden DOJ — left the agency to help “jump start” Bragg’s...
