One that we peasants need know nothing about.
PS. I asked Grok to depict “High Culture” rephrased in multiple ways. It kept spittin out White People!
Conrad Black: The West dominates. Don’t believe lies to the contrary
It has become something of a cliché to assert as an evident fact accepted resignedly, that the West is in decline. But it isn’t. The West is essentially the Americas, Central and Western Europe, Israel, Australasia, and Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, arguably the Philippines and beleaguered elements in South Africa. Obviously, some of these places are in better condition than others. A degenerating society is one that has lost the will to defend itself from both external and internal enemies and where belief in the value of the society or civilization and loyalty and pride in the country have eroded to the point where there is legitimate doubt that they can be sustained under any pressure. No part of the Western world has achieved such a condition.
An Interview on the Ouija Board
Do you have an oujia board?
No? Well, I have one and think everyone should also have it. It is a board through which you communicate with the ghosts of the past, even in the deepest recesses of Hades.
The board’s name comes from a mixture of “oui” (yes in French) and “ja” (yes in German) but you could use any of the 6000 languages still in use in our shrinking Tower of Babel.
Tokok, you Morse a name on the board and the ghost you invite responds.
NDP: ‘We Suck’
Grassroots NDP group calls on party faithful to redirect donations to local riding associations
A group of NDP organizers and former MPs are asking supporters to redirect donations from the central party to local riding associations, saying hundreds of ridings cannot get rebates on campaign expenses due to the New Democrats’ dismal 2025 federal election performance.
“This election, Canadians showed that the NDP feels out of reach as a viable political option,” the group — called Reclaim Canada’s NDP — said in a press release sent out Saturday afternoon.
CRAZY TALK! USA Are the ‘Bad Guys’ and the L.A. Protests Were ‘Peaceful’
Leftist journalists and celebrities have dialed up the crazy to 11.
The Nation’s Elie Mystal declared America to be the “bad guys” on the world stage and called for sanctions. ABC’s (now fired) senior national correspondent Terry Moran insulted presidential advisor Stephen Miller, as he labeled him a “world-class hater” who was the “brains behind Trumpism.”
This past month also saw former MSNBC host Joy Reid claim that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was rounding up “brown people” to put into his “concentration camp.”
CHARLEBOIS: Canned and bankrupt: Why Del Monte lost the shelf war
Del Monte’s bankruptcy this week stunned many who grew up with its canned fruit cocktail, peas, and corn lining their family pantry. After 139 years, the company has filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States. But this isn’t a canary-in-the-coalmine moment for the entire sector — it’s more a case study in how legacy brands can fall out of sync with modern market dynamics.

Big Beautiful Bawling: Hollywood Celebrities Mourn on Independence Day as Trump Racks Up Wins
A throng of Hollywood celebrities, including Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Law & Order: Organized Crime star Chris Meloni, and actor John Leguizamo, many of them multi-millionaires made rich and famous thanks to the blessings afforded to them in America, crapped all over the country and sent somber social media sermons to their followers on Independence Day.
A breakthrough drug could slow Alzheimer’s. Here’s why many Canadians may not be able to access it
Amherstburg, ONT. — When he was 64, Mike Kessler retired from his job in the auto industry because he felt like his brain wasn’t working as it should. He kept forgetting things like what day it was and the word he was looking for.
His wife, Karen, pushed their doctor for a referral to a neurologist. It took a year to see the specialist and another eight months for testing, but finally, in 2021, they had an answer: Mike had vascular dementia and mild Alzheimer’s.
Their family doctor told them that for now, there was nothing more to be done.
WHAT? Didn’t they offer him MAID?
How Trump is using the ‘Madman Theory’ to try to change the world (and it’s working)
Asked last month whether he was planning to join Israel in attacking Iran, US President Donald Trump said “I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do”.
He let the world believe he had agreed a two-week pause to allow Iran to resume negotiations. And then he bombed anyway.
A pattern is emerging: The most predictable thing about Trump is his unpredictability. He changes his mind. He contradicts himself. He is inconsistent.
“[Trump] has put together a highly centralised policy-making operation, arguably the most centralised, at least in the area of foreign policy, since Richard Nixon,” says Peter Trubowitz, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics.
WTF?

The Quiet Invasion: A Podcast Investigation into Canada’s Criminal Capture
OTTAWA/LOS ANGELES — Chris Meyer of Widefountain returns to question The Bureau on findings from The Quiet Invasion—a landmark timeline investigation into how Vancouver became a beachhead for transnational organized crime and Chinese hybrid warfare. What began in the late 1980s as low-profile infiltration by Chinese Triads has evolved into a full-spectrum crisis involving encrypted telecoms, fentanyl superlabs, and political access reaching Canada’s highest offices. In this episode, Meyer and Sam Cooper discuss the range of findings, including Canadian vulnerabilities now believed to be of deep concern to the U.S. government.
Bongino Drops a Truth Bomb Destroying the New York Times
On Saturday, the New York Times editorial board published an article claiming that Trump’s “politicized FBI” has “made Americans less safe.”
That’s rich. I’m old enough to remember when the Obama administration and the Biden administration actually did weaponize the FBI against Donald Trump. And I’m pretty sure everyone on the NYT editorial board is, too.

Harun Abdur Rashid Holmes, a leading figure with Nottingham Islam Information Point (NIIP), has been barred from acting as a charity trustee for three years after delivering a sermon in which he stated that Muslims would kill Jews until they “hide behind a rock”.
How a Canadian’s AI hoax duped the media and propelled a ‘band’ to streaming success
A Canadian who duped journalists in an elaborate AI music hoax says he apologizes to anyone hurt by his experiment but that it’s been “too fascinating” to turn away from.
A man using the pseudonym Andrew Frelon posed as the spokesperson for a band called The Velvet Sundown — which he later said he had no involvement with — creating a media frenzy that propelled the AI-assisted “band” to a million monthly listeners on Spotify.
