If that sounds to you like Alberta Premier Danielle Smith jinked when she should have jived, yeah.
It sounds like that to a lot of people.
As you know, if you've read any of my posts over the past year, the question of a referendum being on the Alberta ballot to begin the process of a formal separation from the Canadian confederation has been a long, twisty process. At the moment, the petition to get the independence question on the ballot has been declared pretty much moot thanks to a victory in a lawsuit by the First Nations tribes. They had sued, asserting that the petition drive was unconstitutional to

Democrats think they have the GOP on the run for this year’s midterms courtesy of their Iranian allies, but a problem looms: they need a presidential candidate for 2028. It has been a while since the Democrats have fielded a strong presidential nominee. Joe Biden was pedestrian at best in 2020, and Kamala Harris was awful in 2024. Surely they can do better in 2028. Right?
Perhaps not. Rasmussen reports that Harris is still the front runner, by a wide margin:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the 2028 primary were held today, 34% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters would vote for Harris….

As I wrote last week ...
Democrats: Racist Republicans want to replace black legislators with whites! It's the new Jim Crow!
Also Democrats: Vote for Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida's remaining majority-minority district!
Even at that time, though, it seemed difficult to believe that Democrat leadership would act this shamelessly. After Democrats went all-in on redistricting in Virginia (and lost), they claimed that the Supreme Court ruling in Callais amounted to "Jim Crow 2.0," or maybe 3.0, or possibly even World War Eleven. Republicans would use the ruling, as well as their own redistricting, to steal congressional seats from black Democrats, they claimed.
So when Debbie Wasserman Schultz – a former DNC

It's no longer in the public consciousness, but domestic terrorism was very much a thing in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s.
There is no one hard count, but in those two decades, about 20,000 bombings happened in the United States, with actual revolutionary groups trying to overthrow the United States government.
They failed, of course. But domestic terrorism was very much a thing, and a significant fraction of our cultural elite were at least somewhat supportive. That's one of the reasons the working class started moving rightward, alongside crime, cultural, and economic issues.
The radicalization of the left in recent years has already inspired

On April 3, a 51-year-old woman was murdered by a man wielding a hammer as she exited a Chevron gas station in Ft. Myers, Florida. The attack was captured on video, and from the video, it appears that the woman didn’t realize until the last second what was happening. It was too unexpected. The victim had undoubtedly exited that gas station, where she reportedly worked as a clerk, dozens if not hundreds of times before and felt secure. In the video, she shows no sign of apprehension, but as long as anyone like her killer is at large in America, none of us is completely safe

In the course of committing an armed robbery in Minneapolis in 2004, Marvin Haynes shot and killed the owner of a flower shop. He was prosecuted, identified by witnesses (“Oh my God, that’s him”), and heard to talk about “shooting an old white man” at the time of the murder. Haynes was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. His conviction was upheld by the Minnesota Court of Appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Now, 20 years later, Haynes has not only been released from prison, but is being paid $4.5 million by the State of Minnesota. His conviction was obviously not wrongful, but Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty,

Thursday evening finally saw the arrival of Stephen Colbert’s departure, an event that began to feel like the ever-distant horizon never being reached. Since the announcement last summer of the cancellation of “The Late Show” by CBS executives, it has been a long slog of guests paying tribute and of media commemorations. One would think this was Patrick Mahomes being drafted and sent off to war in Iran.
Brian Stelter, all this week, was especially moved by the demise of this show, as his frequent appearances across the shows on CNN and his social media timeline becoming a thread of Colbert obsession attest.

It's not a big secret that California's gas is so expensive compared to most of the rest of the country because of its taxes and regulations.
But Chevron drove that point home when they explained to drivers why the gas is always more in California with signs they put up at their stations. (X) The signs carry messages like: “Sacramento policies did this. Now, you pay more."
Others saying, “California has the highest gas taxes and fees in America.”
Chevron spokesperson Ross Allen explained more.
“They have a 61-cent excise tax on every gallon of gasoline. That’s the highest in the nation,” Allen said.
Allen also pointed to environmental programs like California’s cap-and-trade

In a discovery by CriticalRace.org, the University of Minnesota Medical School was found to offer “Child & Adolescent Gender Services” through its Sexual and Gender Health Clinic. These services include “gender affirming medication” for children.
“We provide services across the lifespan, with specific services for children, adolescents, and adults,” states the clinic’s website.
“All children and adolescents develop differently, and it’s common for some children, adolescents, and their families to need professional help understanding various gender issues.”
The website then dives into interventions conducted by the clinic on children who may be struggling with their gender.

CBS News Radio, which provides news programming to an estimated 700 stations spanning the United States, will sign off the air Friday night after nearly a century of broadcasting.
The storied service, launched in September 1927, was home to broadcast legends Edward R. Murrow, Robert Trout, Douglas Edwards, Charles Osgood, Dan Rather and many other familiar and trusted voices over its decades in operation.
"It's been around for a long time. Really, an American institution is what we're losing here," said Steve Kathan, the longtime anchor of the CBS World News Roundup.
"CBS Radio should be remembered for becoming a national institution very important to the development

New York state lawmakers voted Thursday to pass Governor Kathy Hochul’s (D) sweeping sanctuary state bill, enacting a broad ban on cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE.
The radical legislation imposes new restrictions on federal immigration authorities, including barring ICE agents from most public spaces—such as hospitals and parks—and ending 287(g) agreements, which are voluntary partnerships between local law enforcement and federal agents.
It also bans ICE agents from wearing masks, which would allow them to protect their lives and their families' safety.
The legislation creates an “Office of Immigrant Trust” under state Attorney General Letitia James (D), giving her the authority to enforce the law

Stephen Colbert's run as a political rent boy for Democratic politicians has, mercifully for America, come to an end. Because American leftists are clinically insane, fans of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert like to blame President Trump for the host's walking papers. Some of them throw in a dash of garment-rending about CBS and corporate evil, but usually circle back to a Trump tantrum. As I have said on many occasions, President Trump isn't just living rent-free in their heads, he's building condos there.
What those on the left aren't talking about is the program's bloated production costs and the fact that Colbert made a conscious decision to tell
