Why Trudeau is Going to Lose the Next Election
Posted By: Hazymac, 12/6/2024 4:14:37 PM
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has avoided a snap election so far but sooner or later his time is going to run out and when it does, polls suggest he and his party are going to face a big loss to the conservatives. Today the Free Press published a story helping to explain why so many young voters have turned on Trudeau. As the saying goes, it's the economy, stupid. "At University Hospital in London, Ontario, Amanda Vanderley, 25, works grueling 12-hour shifts as an emergency room nurse.

Iran is abandoning its Syrian ally following rapid gains made by Islamist rebel forces, who are now closing in on the capital Damascus.
“Iran is starting to evacuate its forces and military personnel because we cannot fight as an advisory and support force if Syria’s army itself does not want to fight,” a prominent advisor to the Iranian regime, Mehdi Rahmati, told the New York Times.
“The bottom line,” he said, “is that Iran has realized that it cannot manage the situation in Syria right now with any military operation and this option is off the table.”
The unspoken reason Iran is leaving Syria is that Israel smashed Iran's proxy Hezbollah, fatally

No one seems sure who first said it, maybe Joseph Goebbels, but in any case, it’s a tried-and-tested Alinskyite tactic: accuse your enemy of what you’re doing. Barack Obama is a practiced expert at this, and he gave a master class in it on Thursday at his Obama Foundation’s Orwellian-named Democracy Forum.
With some notable and revealing difficulty in getting the words out, Obama accused the Republicans of doing everything that the Democrats have been doing for the past few years: rigging elections, weaponizing the justice system, and trying to ensure that they would remain in power on an indefinite basis. Whatever can be said of Barack Obama, the man

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy runs the gender clinic at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. You can read an interview with her about trans health here on the Children's Hospital website. As author Jesse Singal explains in a report for the Economist, Dr. Olson-Kennedy isn't just any doctor, she's one of the most outspoken proponents of gender affirming care for minors in the country, i.e. someone who is quoted in the media on this topic frequently.
Her activism seems to have overcome her commitment to transparency. Recently, Dr. Olson-Kennedy made news for sitting on the results of a government funded study of trans children because the outcome didn't support her ideological commitments.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a pivotal case addressing state restrictions on controversial medical interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments for minors with gender confusion. At the heart of the case is a Tennessee law banning these procedures for children, with the court’s decision likely to have far-reaching consequences. Will our country protect children from these barbaric and irreversible procedures or not?
As I previously reported, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson humiliated herself when she bizarrely tried to equate banning transgender procedures for minors with prohibiting interracial marriage. She began with a convoluted statement:

Multiple women's golfers came forward to praise and celebrate the LPGA's rule change on Wednesday that bars post-pubescent males from competing against females in pro competition.
The organization said in a news release that male players who have gone through male puberty are barred from competing in the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour and all other elite LPGA competitions. The new rule will go into effect for the 2025 season.
"Players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty are not eligible to compete in the aforementioned events," the organization said. "The policies governing the LPGA’s recreational programs
Former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz has sparked outrage after she appeared to support the murder of UnitedHelathcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Lorenz, once a rising star on the internet beat, issued a series of controversial posts on Bluesky shortly after Thompson was assassinated in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday.
'Woke up to see this spammed in my group chats,' Lorenz wrote alongside a celebratory image that read, 'CEO DOWN.'
'People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering,' she wrote on a different post.
'As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out
My RedState colleague, Brandon Morse, has started the ball rolling regarding Republican/Right-wing Never-Trumpers. In his column, he states that “the Never-Trump "right" has no shame.” I totally agree, and I would like to add another point to this debate.
I can’t tell you how many times I have talked to some Never-Trump Republicans – several are acquaintances of mine – and the debate always goes along the same lines. I bring up a political topic having nothing to do with Donald Trump (I avoid the subject around them, for obvious reasons). The Never-Trump Republican turns whatever that political discussion is focused on into a soliloquy about how uniquely

Victor Willis, a founding member of the Village People and co-writer of the popular “Y.M.C.A.” disco song from 1978, defended Donald Trump using the single during his presidential campaign and said the tune was “not really a gay anthem.”
The 73-year-old songwriter wrote a lengthy Facebook post explaining that the popular song was based on his perception of the organization, saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays.” Y.M.C.A. is an acronym for the Young Men’s Christian Association nonprofit.
“When I say, ‘hang out with all the boys’ that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging-out together for sports, gambling or whatever.
Over the holiday weekend, my husband and I ponied up $5.99 to watch the "Reagan" biopic on Amazon. It was money well spent, and I highly recommend it. The movie spanned many decades and briefly touched upon the fact that American hostages in Iran were freed almost the moment Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981. Recall that in April of 1980, the Carter administration launched a failed rescue operation to rescue the hostages. "Equipment failure" was blamed after two U.S. aircraft "collided on the ground in a remote desert location in Iran." In the end, there was "no fighting & no combat" but
The Biden Paradox

If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon here.
Biden actually includes this proposition in the preface: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” The proposition is refuted by the pardon itself. Like the man from Crete who propounded the famous paradox, Biden may as
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”
In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday.
Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lamented losing the 2024 race for the first time in a series of local media interviews this week, with the Democrat admitting he was a “little surprised” that he and Vice President Kamala Harris were defeated.
“It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn’t at the end,” Walz told KSTP.
“So yeah, I was a little surprised. I thought we had a positive message, and I thought the country was ready for that.” (Photo) The Minnesotan’s assessment cuts against that of several Harris campaign aides,
The United States Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the events at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, reportedly received preferential treatment from the law enforcement agency after Democrat lawmakers applied pressure. Internal emails reveal that House Democrats leaned on U.S. Capitol Police to provide extraordinary financial and professional support to Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt, according to Just the News.

A sobering report by the Public Building Reforms Board paints a grim picture of federal employees’ blatant disregard for duty.
The report found that 94% of federal workers do not show up in person regularly, highlighting the poor service delivery and complacency in government offices.
The Department of Energy, the Agency for Global Media, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture topped the list of absentee/ absconders with abysmal occupancy rates of 0%, 2%, and 6%, respectively.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (7%), the Environmental Protection Agency (8%), the Department of Labor (9%), and the Nuclear Regulation Commission (9%) followed closely with their appalling numbers.
Federal agencies with the highest office occupancy rates include
Establishment Republican strategist Karl Rove attacked highly popular Vice President-elect JD Vance this week for his successful Senate bid in 2022, claiming he was a poor candidate.
Rove’s odd and unprompted insult came in a comment to the New York Times in an article published Thursday about Steven Law stepping down as head of the Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super PAC:
“There was a candidate running in Ohio who was a terrible fund-raiser and was not a particularly effective candidate and the rest of the Republican ticket is winning by — from 18 to 24 points,” Mr. Rove said. “
White House reporters fumed at Karine Jean-Pierre for repeatedly lying about the Hunter Biden pardon during an absolutely brutal press briefing.
Last Sunday Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, absolving him of any federal crimes committed between 2014 and 2024.
Hunter was facing federal tax fraud charges in California and felony gun charges in Delaware.
Joe Biden gave his son a blanket pardon after repeatedly claiming he wouldn’t.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is reportedly floating the idea of shaking up the White House press briefing room. As expected, members of the press are already whining about it.Team Trump is looking at replacing legacy media outlets in the briefing room’s front rows to make room for independent news organizations, at least some of which might be friendlier to the incoming administration, according to The Hill.
People close to Trump have said in recent days he should dramatically change who gets access to the president, suggesting podcasters, internet personalities and media deemed more friendly to him could replace outlets like the major television networks,
Obama is suddenly very concerned about what the party in power can do to rig elections and weaponize the government against perceived political enemies. What curious timing.
While speaking at the ‘Democracy Forum’ the former president talked about the dangers of extremism and polarization. Isn’t it strange how this is all just becoming a concern for him now?
Obama knows his party just got wiped out but he still doesn’t seem to understand why.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is raising concerns that certain establishment GOP lawmakers may quietly undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda despite publicly claiming to support it. As Trump gears up for another four years in the White House, Roy fears some of his colleagues, particularly those with strong ties to the D.C. establishment, will work behind the scenes to thwart his policies or derail his efforts. The Texas representative’s warnings reflect a broader anxiety within the GOP about the deepening divide between the incoming Trump Administration and those deep inside the swamp. In addition to Roy, others also fear these Republicans may prioritize their political futures.
Serial liar and Trump-Russia collusion hoaxer Adam Schiff officially resigned from Congress effective Sunday after more than two decades in the US House of Representatives.
Schiff will be sworn into the Senate on Monday after defeating Republican Steve Garvey in California.
Adam (X) “I just cast my last vote as a member of the House of Representatives,” Schiff said on Friday. “To my LA constituents — thank you for the amazing opportunity to serve,” he said. “And to the people of the whole state of CA, I’m so grateful for your confidence and look forward to all we can get done together!”
President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse. “The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said.
Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”
