The New York Times decided to cover Queen Elizabeth’s death by running an anti-obituary, claiming that “the queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged,”

Trudeau will not leave Canada in Poilievre’s hands
MONTREAL—As of now, all is in place for an electoral duel between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. The only unknown is when what is lining up to be an epic battle will take place.
Provided the Liberal/NDP pact holds, Canada will not be going to the polls this fall and perhaps not until 2025. Even if Trudeau wanted to call a snap election to try to get an edge on a rookie leader, his own party is anything but on a solid electoral footing.
A journalist is murdered, a Democrat pol is charged, and a local reporter finds a way to blame Trump
Murder is staring journalists in the face, now that a veteran investigative journalist, Jeff German of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, has been stabbed and killed in cold blood, allegedly by a Democrat politician.
But does that make an impression on the local talent in the press pool? Not to at least one of them.
Sabrina Maddeaux: Conservatives are all Poilievers now, can they persuade the Poili-curious?
Pierre Poilievre’s victory to win the Conservative Party of Canada leadership comes as no surprise, but now begins the hard part.
At a subdued convention, which nixed $8,000 worth of confetti cannons out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II and began with a melancholic jazz rendition of God Save the King, Poilievre won on the first ballot with 68.15 per cent of points and 330 ridings under his belt. Jean Charest, with 16.07 per cent, wasn’t even close.
We’re heading for Net Zero ruin because our politicians are science dunces
LIZ Truss has inherited a raft of problems as she takes over in Downing Street. One website lists 16. Of these, at least five need scientific understanding – cyber crime, Covid, global warming, energy, plus how to deal with the growing clamour from climate protest groups.
The only Prime Minister in the last 200 years to have had a science degree was Margaret Thatcher. The last five, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May and Johnson, respectively held degrees in Law, History, PPE (philosophy, politics and economics), Geography and Classics. Liz Truss has the standard PPE qualification.
The Biden Administration Is Engaged in a Massive Censorship Campaign
In a federal lawsuit, discovery reveals a multi-agency effort to censor and suppress voices that disagree with administration policies.
The bedrock of American democracy, the First Amendment, prohibits Congress from making laws “abridging the freedom of speech.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly applied this prohibition to executive actions, as well.
Threat From Above: Drones Are Dropping Grenades on Russian Tanks
Enterprising Ukrainian soldiers are using modified World War II-era hand grenades dropped from mini-drones, an innovative tactic that is reportedly damaging and destroying advancing Russian armored vehicles.
Interestingly, the grenades themselves were originally made in the Soviet Union to use against German tanks toward the end of World War II.
“The Russians invented a hand grenade. It was a shaped hand grenade that you could throw at a tank. And if you hit it, you could knock a tank out. And that was a result of them not being able to knock out German tanks with the stuff they had,” Mike Mears, former director of human capital at the CIA, told The National Interest in an interview.
‘These Attacks Have Racist, Religious Motives’: The Persecution of Christians, July 2022
“The scale of killings, displacement and wanton destruction of property by these Fulani jihadist militia only buttresses the now revealed agenda to depopulate Christian communities in Nigeria and take over lands. Tellingly, the government in power in Nigeria at the moment continues to do nothing about these persistent attacks, save to give laughable reasons like ‘climate change’ or that some Muslims too are sometimes killed in attacks by so-called bandits.” — Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe, Independent Catholic News, July 19, 2022, Nigeria.
Texas teacher on pedophiles: ‘Don’t judge people just because they want to have sex with a 5-year-old’
A Texas high school teacher’s apparent defense of the feelings of pedophiles blew up big time after a video of her instructing students to refer to depraved sexual degenerates as “Minor Attracted Persons” was posted to social media where it went viral, resulting in a predictable firestorm of outrage that may have burned her career to a cinder.
The woman – identified as Amber Parker – who teaches English at Franklin High School in El Paso has been placed on administrative leave and is facing termination for her remarks during a lesson, admonishing a student who did not use the “woke” left’s preferred descriptive term for criminal perverts who prey on underaged victims.
Librarians go radical as new woke policies take over: experts
Marian the Librarian, the prim, bespectacled love interest of con artist Harold Hill in the classic musical, “The Music Man,” wouldn’t recognize her profession today.
Libraries, for decades the ultimate safe spaces, have become ground zero in the ongoing culture wars, with battles over banned books, drag queen story hours and free access to porn raging all over the country — from Louisiana to Idaho to Washington State as well as cities like New York and LA.

Putin and Xi welcome Iran to anti-West ‘dictators’ club’
The Shanghai Co-Operation Organisation was once a small, obscure list of autocrats that posed no real threat. Not any more, writes Matthew Campbell
Authoritarian world leaders including President Putin of Russia and President Xi of China will gather this week in Central Asia for the annual summit of an obscure organisation which has attracted little global attention since its founding in 1996.
That is about to change, for the Shanghai Co-Operation Organisation (SCO) is poised to take a bold step. In a development certain to irritate Washington, it is granting membership to Iran, a country regarded in America as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Ideological Rage at Queen Elizabeth
Amid the genuine tributes, the left reminds the world of its fundamental commitment to hatred and spite.
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying,” Tweeted Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya. “May her pain be excruciating.”
The professor of Modern Languages ghoulishly savored a painful death for the 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II: “That wretched woman and her bloodthirsty throne have f***ed generations of my ancestors on both sides of the family, and she supervised a government that sponsored the genocide my parents and siblings survived. May she die in agony.”
Canada’s Conservatives put Trudeau on notice
OTTAWA, Ont. — Pierre Poilievre is the new leader of the Conservative Party. The seven-term MP was born on Canada’s Prairies and represents a riding on the outskirts of the nation’s capital. He attracted unusually large crowds to dozens of campaign rallies and unleashed bombastic rhetoric everywhere he went.
Now he has a shot at forming the next government. Ottawa’s political bubble is obsessed with one question: Where exactly will Poilievre lead a Conservative movement hell-bent on booting Justin Trudeau’s Liberals from power?
A Cat Show, Donuts and Flowers
Kathy lived for the CNE cat show. We practically built our August around it.
After being shut down by covid for two years running it was finally revived this year.
I felt an obligation to attend but was concerned I was torturing myself with grief and a desire to live in the past.
I asked some friends and they suggested I go but to also consider that some things may best be given up.
I went with a buddy and while it was fine I know it can never be the same.
Kathy was like a child among small critters, giddy with excitement and affection.
Those memories of Kathy’s delight will sustain me.
Tiny Tom donuts, a Kathy fave, and ice cream waffles made the day. No visit to the Ex was complete without these treats.
On Friday I went to visit Kathy’s resting place. It was one year to the day since her funeral.
I brought her some flowers and prayed and chatted though I could just as easily do the same at home. That’s how Kathy rolls.
Little things have happened that hint she is nearby keeping an eye on things, making sure I get what I need if not what I want. One day I may share them.
911 cut deep into Kathy.
It was a life changing event for her and privately she shed many tears for its victims over the years. One cannot be remembered without the other for me.
It is a rare day that passes without momentarily imagining she’ll be opening the front door soon or I’ll catch a glimpse of her working away at her computer and all will be right again.
I think it will be OK if I attend the cat show next year.
I gotta buy Kath her Tiny Toms ya know.
That Day, Yet Again
Twenty-one years later, how many Americans still don’t know our enemy?
When the U.S. entered World War II, the director Frank Capra (It’s a Wonderful Life) left Hollywood and, at the age of 44, enlisted in the Army, where General George C. Marshall put him to work making pictures for the war effort. The films, several of which were released under the umbrella title Why We Fight, sought to explain why America was at war with Germany and Japan. They outlined the ideologies of Nazism and Shintoism, examined both enemies’ militarism, fanatical obedience, master-race mentality, and lust for conquest, and noted the reverence with which Hitler was held in Germany and Hirohito in Japan.
