Canadian Bank Wants American Business,
Just Not the Gun Business

It should be no surprise that a Canadian bank would be in lockstep with that country’s disdain for lawful firearm ownership. After all, Canada’s bent on confiscating lawfully owned firearms from owners who did nothing to violate the law. The outlook for personal freedoms in Canada is decidedly murkier after Canada’s ill-advised crackdown on protests against the government that led to arrests of hundreds in 2020. It seems the stereotype of Canadian “nice” isn’t holding up these days. That’s especially true when it comes to the firearm industry. The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), the largest bank in Canada, holds CA$2.325 trillion (or $1.76 trillion U.S. dollars) in total assets.

Newly declassified documents show that the FBI and other members of the intelligence community were actively trying to cover up the Biden family scandals in 2020, heading into an election, while Donald Trump was still in office.
The documents are among those that Tulsi Gabbard declassified when she was Director of National Intelligence. Investigative reporter Catherine Herridge shared screenshots of the documents showing there was a special team, “Round River,” focused on delegitimizing the Hunter and Joe Biden Ukraine scandals. The intelligence community even terminated certain confidential sources who had been working with them for a long time because they reported or confirmed negative information on the Bidens.
Ward Churchill, the former University of Colorado professor whose writings and outspoken political views ignited a national debate over academic freedom and free speech, has died.
His former lawyer says Churchill died of a stroke.
Iliff School of Theology Professor Emeritus Tink Tinker, a member of the Osage Nation, said Churchill "was part of the American Indian Movement from the early 1980s. All of the people who criticized him never read his body of work. His books get at the truth of what happened and is happening to American Indians on Turtle Island, this continent. It persistently challenges the usual narrative of what I call the American romance."
Tucker Carlson is likely running for President of the United States.
It pains me to say that, because he is a truly disgusting human being, and you and I will be tarred with the same brush as he will be. He used to be one of "us," if a bit on the boisterous side. And to our credit, as if that were enough, the guy was and remains deviously brilliant.
I don't expect Tucker to get a ton of votes, but he certainly can get enough to change the outcome of a presidential race should he decide to pop into the race. He does have almost 18 million followers
AOC shrugs off anything said by leftists in the period before, say, yesterday as irrelevant to judging their suitability for positions of authority.
Because, you know, "Woke One was crazy." As if people being crazy a year or five ago is no big deal.
Being crazy is, in fact, a big deal. It's not the same thing as being wrong. Everybody gets it wrong, even if they are smart and exercise good judgment. As long as they acknowledge their mistakes, explain why they made them, and are willing to learn, making a mistake and acknowledging it can actually be a good thing.
You want people who can learn, and we
It has become clear that the Democrats hate America to the point where they are willing to destroy her rather than give up their Trump hatred. One has only to look at the candidates and representatives they embrace to see that this is so. Mamdani has begun a cascade of communists in American politics. The invasion is underway.
Trump hatred has so blinded Democrats’ sensibilities, that they have become parasites in the American bloodstream that will destroy the host rather than openly declare that they will not embrace murder and communism and an Islamic caliphate.
Over the last couple of years, especially in places like Seattle, Los Angeles, or Canada, Democrats
This Arday in history

If the sociology of education were a bona fide academic field, the saga of Jason Arday would provide material for innumerable Ph.D.s. Cambridge University hired Arday to teach the subject. John has follwed the Arday saga in posts here and here.
The Cambidge dons who hired Arday somehow overlooked the indicia of fraud that permeate his thesis and his account of himself. He is a fraud of which Europe has not seen the likes since the heyday of George Psalmanazar in the eighteenth century. However, the credulity of the Cambridge dons is much funnier than that of Psalmanazar’s audience or, more recently, that on which Carlos Castaneda played in
A climber known for setting speed records in Yosemite National Park has died in a climbing accident in California.
Jake Whisenant, 30, of Mammoth Lakes, California, died Aug. 3, according to the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Coroner Unit.
The sheriff’s office website lists the cause of death as “accident,” and officials have not released additional details. Tulare County includes Sequoia National Park and the southern Sierra Nevada. Bailee Moore, who described Whisenant as her lifelong friend, told NBC News on Monday that he died in a fall while he was climbing and that the details surrounding the fall are still being investigated.
She called his death an “unimaginable loss.”

Leftist women yearn for subjugation
5 replies
There was a joke made years ago about how “the children yearn for the mines,” because while they’re no longer de facto forced to dig for coal in Appalachia and the Northeast (due to their impoverished circumstances), they’re drawn to the mines nonetheless—the Minecraft video game was (and still is) wildly popular.
Well, on a similar note, leftist women yearn for subjugation. No external factor is forcing them into roles of diminished status, but they just can’t help being drawn to what is not good for them (abortion, open relationships, hook-ups, transgenderism, etc.), and placing themselves under a yoke. This is more of a
A Florida swimmer had her arm ripped off by a 10-foot alligator — a vicious attack she wound up surviving thanks to a fast-acting boater who scared the beast away.
The woman was on a paddleboard in the Silver River in north-central Florida when the gator grabbed her by the arm and pulled her underwater, despite her trying to push it away with her paddle, FOX35 reported.
Miraculously, John Gamache was eating lunch on his boat and, upon hearing the woman’s family’s cries for help, he sped toward the group. “I looked just upriver from us a couple hundred feet and saw an alligator head way above the water and going full
It's hard for me to believe that the Democrats might run Kamala Harris for president again after her campaign was such a disaster in 2024.
Not only did President Donald Trump clean her clock, even getting more of the popular vote, but he also beat her in all the swing states. Plus she spent and lost a ton of money in a futile cause, by some estimates, $1.5 billion over the course of an abbreviated campaign.
Polls have her up for 2028, though, so I'm all in for it. That should be great fun to watch her go down in flames again. It does sound like she's gearing up
On July 16, 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner sprinted 100 meters in 10.49 seconds at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Nearly four decades later, no woman has run faster, and her world record still stands.
Her 200-meter record, set at the Seoul Olympics later that year, has also stood for almost forty years.
Flo-Jo remains the fastest woman who has ever lived.
Yet her 100-meter record has repeatedly been surpassed by American high school boys.
The current U.S. high school boys’ record is 9.92 seconds, set in 2025 and more than half a second faster. Many boys have run faster than Flo-Jo’s legendary mark, and each year more join that list.

Democratic Gov. Maura Healey was met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts' gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth. Under the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, health care workers will have greater discretion in determining whether to perform an abortion later in pregnancy, without facing legal penalties under the state's previous restrictions. Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses.
DiJonai Carrington denied that her flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham was intentional, while remaining coy about her “WHITE PRIVILEGE” post that she wrote on social media over the weekend when she spoke with reporters in Seattle on Monday.
Carrington called it “unfortunate” that her attempt to deny a layup by Cunningham — during the Sky’s loss to the Fever on Saturday — occurred the way it did, while noting that it has always been her style of play.
“It was unfortunate that I made contact with her in the way that I did, but it was never intentional,” she said,
What is surfacing now, five years later, is a stronger understanding of just how the establishment medical complex determined the safety and efficacy protocols of the COVID-19 vaccination. They had theories, they had speculation, they had scientific discussion; but ultimately, they did not know to what extent the vaccine was safe – and statistically it wasn’t safe.
Looking back on recent history, the COVID experience stands out. The lessons from observing the government’s response, and how people reacted to it, have influenced our perspective on many topics related to liberty and freedom.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once declared his sacred "obligation" to follow Sharia law in every aspect of his life until he meets his maker on the day he dies, according to unearthed comments he made to the New York Times in 2009 as a young man buying his first home.
"Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don't want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way. Not because of fear but because of obligation," said El-Sayed,

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley beat Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in a come-from-behind victory during the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary Tuesday night.
Crowley was ahead of the 37-year-old state representative and member of the Democratic Socialists of America 39.8% to 39.4% when the race was called by the Associated Press at 3:34 a.m.
Surveys ahead of the Badger State Democratic contest had consistently showed Hong besting Crowley by double digit percentage points. Crowley had also dropped out of the race weeks before and even endorsed another opponent, before re-entering the contest and receiving the backing of outgoing Gov. Tony Evers
Illegal migrants are losing out on beach vacations and picnics because of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migration, according to hand-wringing reports in pro-migration media outlets.
“A group of Latino friends and their families had a tradition they repeated every summer: traveling in a caravan to a North Carolina beach, renting a large house, sharing expenses, enjoying the ocean and cooking together,” said an “8 agosto, 2026” report in EnlaceLatinonc.org, which tried to hide the migrants’ illegal status.
“But this year, they decided to stay home” because they are illegal migrants, the report lamented, as it broadcast complaints from some of the 15 million illegal migrants in the United States:
The relative peace experienced in Ireland over the past three decades may be in jeopardy as descendants of the Irish Republican Army may turn to terrorism to root out migrant populations from the country, security officials have warned.
While “Ireland for the Irish” was once a common refrain amongst advocates against British control of all or part of the island, the phrase appears set to take on a new meaning of opposition to the dispossession of the native population by dint of the mass migration agenda imposed on the country by globalist governments in Dublin.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, security sources in Britain are concerned that a potential
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” former CIA Director John Brennan expressed his concern that President Donald Trump would somehow interfere with the midterm elections.
Host Peter Alexander said, “The president has had a hard time getting his SAVE America Act effort through. We’ve heard a lot on this conversation as it relates to voting restrictions. He wants to pass it through Congress. He doesn’t have the votes right now.”
After playing a clip of Trump discussing the midterms, Alexander asked, “Your reaction to that? A lot of fear about what may happen ahead of these midterms.”
Brennan said, “I think we all should be very worried
Dr. Anthony Fauci said in private text messages with other federal health officials that the COVID-19 vaccine could “theoretically” pose a risk of miscarriage for pregnant women after the second dose.
The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases noted that because “many people have a cytokine storm and fever after the second dose” of the vaccine, “this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” The January 2021 text thread took place during the early weeks of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
A cytokine storm occurs when the body releases too many small proteins called cytokines into the blood too fast,
Just weeks after announcing that it will lose up to $4.5 billion this year making electric cars, Ford unveiled its next plug-in attempt: the Ford Fathom truck.
So it goes with EVs.
No matter how loudly consumers say they don’t want them, those “in the know” keep telling us that the future is electric and that success is just around the corner.
Last month, for example, the mainstream press was giddy over a slight rebound in EV sales in the second quarter compared with the first. As Business Insider put it, “The U.S. EV market comes back from the dead. Thank high gas prices.”
DiJonai Carrington, the WNBA player who bashed Sophie Cunningham in the face and then accused the league of “white privilege” when she was handed a flagrant foul, was born to a privileged family and grew up attending extremely expensive private schools. (snip) Sophie Cunningham attended a public high school in Columbia, Missouri, before attending a state college, the University of Missouri, which charges a mere $16,000 a year in tuition. So, in the end, Sophie Cunningham didn’t pay as much for her entire college education as Carrington paid for just one year at Stanford.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that automakers are offering a $3,500 instant rebate for state residents buying or leasing their first new zero-emission electric vehicle as part of a $271 million incentive program.
Customers buying or leasing a used ZEV are eligible for a $1,750 rebate.
“California is once again leading with bold, decisive action and expanding access to the benefits of zero-emission vehicles with the launch of the MyFirstEV program,” Lauren Sanchez, chair of the California Air Resources Board, said in Gov. Newsom’s press release. “This program means more than just new technology for California families –
