The “W” Word
A top UK university is to replace portraits of its founding fathers with a “wall of diversity” of scholars from different backgrounds following pressure from students.
Kings College London is planning to remove the portraits of former university staff from the main entrance wall and replace them with BME (Black and minority ethnic) scholars.
The proposal to exclude white scholars from the entrance wall follows criticism from students who claimed that the presence of such portraits is too “intimidating” for minorities, The Telegraph reported.

In summary, Canadians deserve the answers to the following questions: what is the nature of the relationship between CCI and the Liberal Party of Canada, how is CCI able to guarantee regular and exclusive access to Ministerial staff for its large corporate members, and how many other ministers, or members of their senior staff, are participating in exclusive meetings with CCI members or similar organizations?
Good questions.
“Roaring Ralph”
Lorrie Goldstein zips up truth’s pants. I can’t count how many times over the weekend I heard canards like, “the court ordered payment” or “Harper caused this”, etc. Good on Lorrie for trying to right the mistruths Goodale and his ilk are spreading like so much bovine excrement.
Goodale — let’s call him “Roaring Ralph” — with an assist from Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, approached Baghdad Bob levels of disinformation last week as they executed the Trudeau government’s strategy of blaming Harper for the Khadr mess the Liberals created.
Steyn on Canada Day
From LindaL, Mark Steyn’s take on Canada’s first post-national, national celebration.
A national celebration of collective guilt is a hard act to pull off. An historical anniversary on which it’s unsafe to mention any history doesn’t leave a lot else. I tried to follow along, really I did. At one point on Saturday there was a fulsome introduction in both official languages, all about multiple Grammy awards, for Shania Twain.
Rex on Khadr
Rex Murphy: Justin Trudeau skips the theme socks for his scheming Omar Khadr apology
Three things mark the Khadr announcement. The government didn’t want in any visible way to be associated with it. They wanted it done swiftly and with maximum distraction. And they didn’t want Trudeau on the same continent when the news broke.

Warsaw Impact
You can say this for Donald Trump: he’s great at useless provocation, but sometimes his provocations are helpful by what they force his opponents to reveal. The Warsaw speech was stunning in this way. I’m glad I read it before I read any of the left-liberal comment on it, else I might have thought it had been drafted by Dr. Goebbels.

BC
As expected, the Liberals lost a confidence vote and the word is now that the BC NDP have been asked to form gov’t.
I don’t know what the people on the ground are saying, but I don’t expect this gov’t to last long either.
Oh, Shiny Prime Minister
This is a real headline.

Luckily, someone was armed;
“As we were standing here this morning, a gunman walked up to the fence line and just began to shoot. I was standing at home plate and he was in the third base line,” Bishop said. “He had a rifle that was clearly meant for the job of taking people out, multiple casualties, and he had several rounds and magazines that he kept unloading and reloading.”
The shooting went on for roughly 10 minutes, with some accounts putting the number of shots fired around 100. […]
“The only reason why any of us walked out of this thing, by the grace of God, one of the folks here (security detail traveling with Scalise) had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover. We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there and every one of us would have been hit — every single one of us,” said Bishop. “He was coming around the fence line and he was looking for all of us who had found cover in different spots. But if we didn’t have return fire right there, he would have come up to each one of us and shot us point-blank.”
Diversity Is Our Strength
The survey found that 53% of privately sponsored Syrian refugees had been able to find work in Canada, compared to just 10% of government sponsored refugees.
That means that nine in 10 Syrian refugees sponsored by the Trudeau government are unemployed. […]
When it comes to government-sponsored refugees, chosen for resettlement by the Trudeau government, 83% had no knowledge of English or French.
Only 17% of Trudeau’s government-sponsored refugees possessed basic skills in one of Canada’s official languages.
But 100% will vote Liberal, and can thus be considered a success.

The Senate
I swear, the stupid party on full display. Two stories from Drudge.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is tempering expectations that the Senate will pass an overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system, promising his colleagues a vote but not success.
The single largest wedge issue the idiots have been running on for eight years, the ticket that got most of them elected in the last two elections. Now? PSYCHE, suckers.

Vladimir Putin a bigger threat than Islamic State, John McCain says
Has McCain ever seen a war he didn’t want? Outside of fighting Democrats, that is. Russia isn’t blowing up little girls at concerts you jerk. Russia is laughing at you orchestrating your attempt at a palace coup out of bitterness that blustering Trump did what you twice failed to do.

Yo, Yanks? You want your illegals back?
Nearly half of the asylum seekers crossing the Manitoba border illegally in the last few weeks are being detained because of serious criminal records, suggesting the profile of would-be refugee claimants is changing, according to the union representing border patrol officers.
Makes total sense to anyone giving any thought what-so-ever about human nature. But then, Shiny Pony seems like a bit of an air-head and his sycophants are what they are.
