And How Is Your Day?
To their utter horror, The Ruby, Norwegians found out, is carrying 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate.
“Lost”
In total, 122 handguns, 55 shotguns, 23 rifles, three submachine-guns and two machine-guns have been reported lost by RCMP detachments across the country since 2020. Canadians are largely prohibited from using or acquiring machine-guns and submachine-guns, which are fully automatic and capable of rapid fire.
The data, which was obtained through an access to information request, also shows that nearly a dozen RCMP firearms have gone missing so far this year.

Hezbollah, Do Not Be Discouraged

Show Me The Man
I’m not a fan of RFK, Jr.
I remember some of his recent past, such as wanting to silence “climate deniers” and such, so I can’t support anyone who thought that was a good idea, even if he doesn’t now. After all, what other braindead, unconstitutional policies will he think is a good idea next?
But he’s not running for anything now. Now, he’s supporting Donald J. Trump.
And that makes him a target.
Some continue to claim, despite numerous prosecutions against Trump, that no one is weaponizing federal law enforcement against enemies of the Democratic Party. They say that the reason Trump is being investigated and prosecuted is because he’s a terrible person who did illegal things.
However, now RFK is under investigation, and it’s kind of hard to ignore now.

Is The Spending Spree Over?
If the decline in Fedex’s earnings is not an indication that the marginal consumer is tapped out, I don’t know what is.
…Fedex stock tumbled as much as 11% after hours when it cut the top end of its full-year profit outlook and reported quarterly earnings below expectations on softer demand for package deliveries.
The company said that Q1 results were negatively affected by a mix shift, which reduced demand for priority services, increased demand for deferred services, and constrained yield growth. In addition, higher operating expenses and one fewer operating day negatively affected the quarter’s results.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
The auto industry is big business in Michigan, and a major round of layoffs is revving the election into high gear for industry workers in the critical swing state — who blame the Biden-Harris administration’s heavy-handed electric-vehicle mandates for the painful job losses.
Stellantis, which manufactures Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, announced last month it will lay off 2,450 workers at its Warren plant. While industry jobs in the state have been declining since 1990, Michigan autoworkers explained to The Post why Team Biden’s green-energy rules are at fault this time.[…]
“Listen, you wanna buy an EV car? Great,” she continued. “But the autoworkers, the automakers know that we can’t survive because the infrastructure isn’t there on EVs. Nobody wants to buy them.”
Ford slashed more than 1,000 jobs at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn after drastically scaling back its production of the F-150 Lightning, an all-electric pickup truck.
“It’s the way that the government now wants to go,” Gordon said of the transition to EVs. “And they completely made the wrong decisions on it because if you look, Ford has lost a lot of money.”
Ford reported a $132,000 loss in the year’s first quarter on each of the 10,000 electric vehicles it sold — which was 20% fewer EVs than sold in the same period last year.
Burning Hatred
Blacklock’s- Confirm Hundreds Of Arsons
Cabinet confirms hundreds of church burnings nationwide with a sharp rise in arson attacks following claims that skeletal remains were discovered at an Indian Residential School in Kamloops, B.C. Data were drawn from police reports compiled by Statistics Canada.
The Inquiry counted 423 police-reported incidents at places of worship since 2015, the year the Truth and Reconciliation Commission published a report claiming 4,100 children died at Indian Residential Schools. Arson attacks prior to the 2015 report averaged as few as 13 a year.
Protecting “Democracy”
Blacklock’s- Accuses Cabinet Of Cover-Up
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet knowingly misdirected investigations of foreign interference under a “mountain of process,” the Commission on Foreign Interference was told yesterday.
“We are buried in a mountain of process two years after these revelations have come to light with no end in sight,” testified MP Chong. “This is not how our institutions should function. This is not how Parliament should work and this is not how the Government of Canada should treat threats to our national security.”
Follow The Science
This new paper in the peer-reviewed journal Feral Feminisms presents “femmegimp strategies for navigating and negotiating cultures of undesirability through the creation of queercrip p*rn and collective care.”
One such strategy is via “glitter bath,” which is where a femmegimp takes a bath infused with glitter in order to “bathe in femmegimp excess.” Creating p*rn from the glitter bath helps achieve “queercrip flourishing.”
The author discusses the “transformative pleasure in reveling in the excesses of femmegimp joy.”
Of course, the author also took pictures of her reveling in “glittery femmegimp joy,” which the totally serious peer-reviewed journal published (and which I have blurred).
The Bought And Paid For Press
Blacklock’s- Lib Senator Edits Press Article
A Liberal-appointed senator says the government has a duty to correct media thinking.
Moncion, a former credit union CEO from North Bay, Ont., said she edited the press item as chair of the Senate committee on internal economy. The Senate was told she instructed staff to revise an August 21 commentary in the Ottawa weekly Hill Times that complained of Senate overspending. The Hill Times complied.
