All the Big Guy’s Bag Men

As the Biden gang’s corruption is exposed, the kingpin shouldn’t feel too secure in his seat of power.

Joe Biden makes up for lacking the gift of gab in his grift of graft.

He may call a “salon” a “saloon” and describe his wife as the former vice president. But the Joe Biden who fails in letters passes numbers summa cum laude.

“The least wealthy [Obama] administration figure is Vice President Joe Biden,” CBS News reported in 2009, “whose net worth is estimated at just $27,012.” Times change, and so did Middle Class Joe’s net worth, which now hovers around $8 million, according to Forbes.

But Forbes possibly missed some of the president’s fortune.

Heartbreak as Canada’s oldest ‘prairie castle’ is destroyed by fire

Canada’s oldest wooden grain elevator has been destroyed in a fire, dashing hopes of reclaiming its wood and preserving a piece of the country’s farming history.

Troy Angus, who bought a pair of dilapidated elevators at municipal auction, last month announced plans to salvage and repurpose thousands of pieces of wood and metal that made up the bulk of the structures, often called “prairie castles” for their towering, regal appearance on the vast landscape.

Justin probably thought it was a church.

Ottawa’s Proposed Bills to Curtail Online Harms ‘Oblivious’ to Reality: Former CRTC Chairs

Any attempts to regulate the internet should steer clear of trying to manage what people have to say, for at best it leads to a quagmire of legal wrangling, while at worst it leads to suppression of free speech by the government, say former chairs of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

“Early efforts in Canada to create federal regulatory frameworks for the Internet, such as Bill C-10 and the ‘online harms’ proposals, were oblivious to this reality and widely panned as a result,” said Konrad von Finckenstein and Peter Menzies, former CRTC chair and vice-chair respectively, in a recent paper on how to address online harms while still protecting free speech.

Black Lives Matter is just another racket

It often takes time to recognize a racket. Think of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. For years, they preyed on decent, praying Americans, defrauding them while presenting themselves as people of faith. Or remember Peter Popoff? He was constantly exposed for selling fraudulent products that were meant to “cure” people. They did no such thing. But he preyed on people’s goodness and hopes all the same.

These over-surgeried televangelists claim they can only build their spanking new church if you hand over your hard-earned dollars. Or buy their magical healing water. All the time, they stock up their personal empires or splash it out on overpriced hookers.

Fake federal agent who befriended Secret Service had visas from Iran, claimed ties to Pakistani intelligence

No one’s surprised, right? Certainly you’re not surprised if you read this morning’s post.

Still, there are details here that don’t make sense to me. If these guys are part of an Iranian plot to target U.S. officials, they’d want to be as unobtrusive as possible, right? Make friends with the Secret Service, see what they’ll tell you, but otherwise don’t give your neighbors any reason to be suspicious of you.

That is some kinda weird.

Will Smith banned from Oscars for 10 years — but he can keep award

The Oscars just delivered more than a slap on the wrist to Will Smith: The academy’s board of governors has banned this year’s Best Actor winner from attending the awards ceremony for the next decade after he assaulted comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 ceremony.

The academy’s 54-member board convened for a reportedly “contentious” Zoom meeting on Friday morning to discuss “possible sanctions” against the actor — who will, as it turns out, be allowed to keep his trophy.

Prohibiting demonstrations will stamp out social justice activism

It’s one of the oldest plays in the book — a crisis is followed by new laws that are intentionally broad enough to be applied to just about anybody considered inconvenient.

That’s what we’re seeing with the Ontario government’s Bill 100, Keeping Ontario Open for Business Act, a piece of legislation that could do little more than stamp out and criminalize many labour actions, like strikes and picket lines, and critically important demonstrations on issues including racial justice and meaningful climate action.

Whitmer case collapses – Two defendants found not guilty, two more walk free

A jury acquitted two defendants in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping trial on Friday but was unable to come to a verdict on the alleged ringleaders of the plot.

The jury announced Friday afternoon they had ruled unanimously to find Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta not guilty on charges of conspiring to kidnap the Democratic Michigan governor in 2020. Harris was also acquitted of charges related to explosives and firearms.

Russians start to see evidence of high military casualties in Ukraine

A phone camera pans slowly across the portraits of 55 men, each wearing the dress uniform of Russia’s elite airborne units. Small candles have been placed by the photographs of the men, as have sky blue berets and the blue-and-white striped undershirts worn by the paratrooper units who led Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The video of the memorial for the soldiers of the 247th Guards Air Assault Regiment is unverified – it was first published by Russia’s iStories news outlet, which said it was submitted by a reader.

But the footage adds weight to a growing consensus that the numbers of Russian casualties – especially among elite units such as the Russian airborne – are far higher than officials have so far admitted.

Canada has an obligation to up oil and gas production to help free EU from Russia’s grip

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the world has come to the realization that it cannot rely on an autocratic regime for its supply of oil and gas. The European Union, and in particular Germany, now understands that a significant reliance on Russian oil and gas is unacceptable. With such exposure, the EU has found itself in the position of either being forced to make economically damaging reductions in these imports, or in effect continuing to finance Vladimir Putin’s brutal aggression against the people of Ukraine.
