Another history lesson with Neil Oliver. And Neil talks about the war on humanity.

Biden’s America: Joe’s EV bust. Art, commerce and the religious. The renewed hysteria. Is America gone? News from the Shady Acres Nursing Home.
“I feel very strongly about the importance as a general matter of engaging in U.S. policy as it relates to foreign affairs in a way that we pay attention, of course, to the immediate concerns and threats if they exist, but that we also pay attention to 10, 20, 30 years down the line and what we are developing now that will be to the benefit of our country then,” Harris said.
When asked whether she felt prepared to take on the duties of the presidency, Harris said she was ready.
@LouDobbs – This should scare everybody—Marxist Extremists Alex Soros and Mega Dem Donors have an eight-hour meeting at incoherent, vapid VP Kamala Harris’ official residence, Marxist puppet Joe Biden appears to now be in cognitive freefall and she emerges from hiding to say she’s ready to take over for what is by any standard an illegitimate President. This only gets worse.
Forty-four percent of Democrats surveyed “strongly agreed” that public four-year colleges and universities are for people like them, according to Varying Degrees 2023, the nonprofit New America’s seventh annual higher education survey.
Only 21 percent of surveyed Republicans “strongly agreed.”
Sarah Lawrence College political science Professor Samuel Abrams said he believes the findings are in part due to political polarization.
Polarization “is the phenomenon where individuals’ feelings and emotions towards members of their own political party or group become more positive, while their feelings towards members of the opposing party or group become more negative,” Abrams told The College Fix via email.
Because of left-leaning polarization in colleges and universities, “those on the right are increasingly disliked and viewed as enemies when they are on campuses today,” said Abrams, a fellow at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

Hope that the trial of two Freedom Convoy organizers would last only four weeks may be dashed after the defence raised complaints about receiving heaps of new evidence three days after the trial began.
Justice Heather Perkins-McVey told the court there is a potential risk for the trial to go “off the rails,” if it continues to evolve in the way it has been going. She used the day of court time on Friday to try to “crystallize the evidence” for the remainder of the trial.
Before that, there was a sense of tension in the courtroom as Crown and defence lawyers sparred over the timing of the delivery of binders full of text messages.
The justice called a short recess to step away from the bench to “settle” herself after telling the lawyers she was “very unhappy” about the late-stage disclosure.
“This should have been done well before the trial,” she chided before leaving the courtroom.
It’s real.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring social-media platforms to censor posts about Covid-19 and elections.
The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling says that the White House likely “coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.” The panel of three judges found that the administration “significantly encouraged the platforms’ decisions by commandeering their decision-making processes, both in violation of the First Amendment.”
A lower court previously placed restrictions on the Biden administration’s communications with social-media platforms; those restrictions applied to a number of government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the State Department, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
After temporarily blocking the order, the Fifth Circuit judges have now modified the order to apply only to the White House, the surgeon general, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the FBI.
Plus, a blow by blow from Tracy Beanz: I want to stop for a second (again) and go over how monumental this actually is. This is the first time ever that a normal “user” or American has submitted evidence of social media censorship and had their concerns ADDRESSED at all by a COURT OF LAW.
I’ve visited the Juno Beach Centre twice. I enjoyed each visit immensely. The entire reason for their existence is to commemorate and celebrate the brave men & women who fought for the freedom of all.
Yet they have the audacity to post what they did below? This is absolutely disgraceful and it’s good to see that they’re being roundly ratioed. They should be absolutely ashamed by this and ALL involved with this post should either resign or be fired.

I asked Steven Guilbeault why the Liberals' carbon tax hasn't stopped the wildfires, flooding and hurricanes he says all warrant climate action from the Conservatives.
In response, he accused me of "total ignorance" about climate change. pic.twitter.com/8XPbDuJAXC

It’s a twofer.
Update! The security audit and cleanup are complete, and we’re back in business. Many thanks to Graham at Wordfence for his tenacity and good humor, when he discovered he’d been tasked with a 20 year old site with 57,500 posts and 1.7M comments. There’s still work to do at our end, which should be complete by Monday. In the meanwhile, we have the green light to resume normal operations.
Thanks for your patience, everyone.
Kate

The security audit interim report is in, and a number of problems have been uncovered. A big number.
To avoid interfering with the work, posting is suspended until I get the go ahead to resume – a break that will probably extend into the weekend. To that end, I’m also closing comments.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to cover the costs. Your generosity is being put to good use.

Wait, Dying with Dignity Canada’s entire Disability Advisory Council is just *two* people?
One of the people on the advisory council on whether people with only mental illness should qualify for MAID is someone whose professional experience… is answering emails for Dying with Dignity. Oh and having a fellow classmate in her undergrad psych degree with schizophrenia

THOSE DIRTY RUSSIANS: They’re already signaling the direction the so-called “foreign interference inquiry” will take.
After months of deliberations, the federal government is launching a public inquiry into foreign election interference in Canada, and has found a judge to lead it.
Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc announced Tuesday that Quebec Court of Appeal Justice Marie-Josée Hogue will serve as commissioner to lead the probe, which will look beyond China to other foreign meddling.
“Justice Hogue will be tasked with examining and assessing interference by China, Russia, and other foreign states and non-state actors, including any potential impacts to confirm the integrity of, and impacts on, the 2019 and 2021 general elections at the national and the electoral district levels,” LeBlanc said.
@AndrewJWHaynes – Justice Hogue practiced at the same law firm as Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien.
Three links from the National Post to get you started: 12 to watch on Canada’s rapidly rising right; an op-ed from John Ivison, for whatever he’s worth and Chris Selley: Conservative policy conventions are where the media stock up on ammo.
If you’re at the convention, your observations and reactions are particularly welcomed.
Supper in Texas on Wednesday: for the 9th time in 3 weeks, the lights are in danger of going out due to high temperatures and low wind power generation.
Well, that’s what I initially wrote. Then the Texas grid literally went into “red alert,” as the frequency started to drop and reserves fell perilously low. If the frequency goes too low, generating plants would start to trip off in cascading failures, leading to massive blackouts. Thankfully, they got it under control.
Also: Pipeline Online editor Brian Zinchuk on John Gormley Live talking about oil prices, drilling activity, carbon capture, grid alerts, and dramatically more nuclear power generation possible in Saskatchewan.
And if you missed it, Enbridge snapped up three natural gas utilities in the US. Funny how they’re spending big money in the US, but not Canada…
