Apple Pauses Its New Show About Domestic Terrorism

So it appears Apple TV+ was going to release a new show this Friday called The Savant. The show stars actress Jessica Chastain as an investigator who profiles and identifies would-be domestic terrorists in an attempt to stop them before they commit violent crimes. But today Apple announced it would be postponing the release of the show, apparently out of concern the the subject matter is too raw after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Hollywood remains detached from reality and see’s only one type of terrorism of course.

Nearly 6M Canadians on Medical Waitlists as Delays Outpace Pandemic Backlog: Report

Nearly six million Canadians are currently on a health-care waitlist, surpassing levels recorded in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new report suggests.

Government data obtained by think tank SecondStreet.org indicate at least 3.7 million Canadians are waiting for surgery, a diagnostic scan, or to see a specialist. But the organization is suggesting figures from Canada’s provinces and territories may not tell the full story.

The long twilight struggle

“We seek no treasure, we seek no territorial gains, we seek only the right of man to be free; we seek his right to worship his God, to lead his life in his own way, secure from persecution. As the humble laborer returns from his work when the day is done, and sees the smoke curling upwards from his cottage home in the serene evening sky, we wish him to know that no rat-a-tat-tat of the secret police upon his door will disturb his leisure or interrupt his rest.”

—Prime Minister Winston Churchill, explaining Great Britain’s war aims to FDR’s close adviser Harry Hopkins, January 11, 1941, at “Ditchley” in England, as quoted in Erik Larson, The Splendid and the Vile (New York: Crown, 2020) p. 351

Ted Morton: Carney’s first six months of disappointment

The new prime minister was entitled to a six-month honeymoon to prove that he would be different. Well, Mark Carney has now had six months on the job. What does he have to show for it?

No doubt many Canadians still view him as a man of substance, a welcome reprieve from the man of shallow spectacle who preceded him. But that is a very low bar. As every schoolteacher and employer knows, evaluating performance is important. You can’t improve what you don’t track. The Buffalo Project has launched an advertising campaign and a website, reportoncarney.ca, to answer the bottom-line question: are Canadians’ social and economic circumstances seeing actual improvement?

EVERY adult in Britain will need a Government-issued ID card despite backlash at Starmer’s plan for a ‘dystopian nightmare’

Every working adult in Britain will require a Government-issued digital ID card under a ‘dystopian’ plan set to be announced by Sir Keir Starmer.

The idea of a mandatory identification system has long been advocated by Labour as a way to tackle illegal migration.

But the proposal is fiercely opposed by civil rights campaigners, who warn it will erode civil liberties and turn the UK into a ‘papers please’ society.

Why are the feds determined to slaughter 400 healthy birds?

Over the past few months, Universal Ostrich Farms has gone from being a small family-run enterprise in the middle of nowhere British Columbia to a symbol of the fight against government overreach recognized around the world.

The ostriches and their owners Karen Espersen and Dave Bilinski have caught the attention of everyone from local advocates for freedom to high-ranking officials in the United States government.

Comey indicted for alleged false statements, obstruction of congressional proceeding

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury on two counts, alleged false statements within jurisdiction of the legislative branch and obstruction of congressional proceeding, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported in July that Comey was under criminal investigation by the FBI. The probe into Comey centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump–Russia probe at the FBI, known inside the bureau as “Crossfire Hurricane.”

Living in the Gray Zone of Political Violence

Batshit Crazy Homicidal Progressives – Liberal Left Assassins, Mass Murderers

 

The American Left has a long history of celebrating or excusing purveyors of mayhem.

In 2011, Martin McGuinness, the former leader of the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army), ran for president of the Republic of Ireland. Over the four decades of his public life, McGuinness had moved from supporting terrorism, including assassination, for political ends to pursuing votes through the ballot box. Some now feted him as a “peacemaker.” But to many voters, his personal journey from the use of violence to the use of democratic means to achieve a united Ireland still seemed like a work in progress.

We Totally Voted for Trump to Tick Off Tiresome Foreigners

Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners themselves.

Police across Canada say many details still missing as feds forge ahead with gun buyback

OTTAWA — Police across Canada say they are unsure whether they will participate in the federal firearms buyback, with many reporting a lack of detail from government officials.

It comes as time is ticking down to when the federal Liberal government plans to expand the compensation process being piloted in Nova Scotia nationwide later this fall, aimed at gun owners who possess one of the more than 2,500 firearm makes and models the government has banned since 2020.

For Too Many in Education, Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Is Exactly the Type of Person They Are Trying to Create

Recently, the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) released its 2025 report, assessing that there was no educational progress. Called the Nation’s Report Card, NAEP measures math, reading, and science performance in fourth, eighth, and 12th grades. Scores on all three tests administered in 2024 were down from 2019 results.

“Students from the class of 2024 had historically low scores on a major national test administered just months before they graduated,” as one media report described the results. Education Secretary Linda McMahon lamented that the “NAEP results confirm a devastating trend: American students are testing at historic lows across all of K-12.”

Meanwhile in Canada …
