  4. Canada’s new leaders are screwing Canada as bad as Castro’s love child did.

    “Well that was quick. Crown Royal is pulling bottling out of Ontario. Stellantis is shutting down a car factory in Brampton and moving it to Illinois. Ford is considering moving tens of thousands of jobs from Canada to the U.S.

    Maybe Mark Carney and Doug Ford shouldn’t have decided to hold their breath until they turned blue.”

  5. Click the link and read it all. It’s an outstanding summation of the current state of lawfare enabling media.

    “I have a new respect for Kim Strassel of WSJ after reading this article from her revealing how the fake news covers the left’s lawfare dishonestly, to make anything Trump and conservatives look bad and losing and anything the left does look legitimate and winning.

    “The state of legal reporting has reached peak national embarrassment.”

    The Media’s Lawfare Enabling

    The Supreme Court last week allowed Donald Trump’s ballroom construction to proceed, eliciting shock from the press corps. The court on Monday allowed the president’s mail-in voting order to continue, eliciting the same shock. This follows the shock after Trump administration wins on immigration enforcement, personnel firings, DEI and transgender orders, and dozens of other issues.

    How long is the public meant to treat the press’s pearl-clutching as genuine, rather than part of a campaign to undermine the administration and the credibility of the high court?

    The state of legal reporting has reached peak national embarrassment, a master class in fiction that rivals the reporting about Russia “collusion” and Joe Biden’s undiminished capacity. The media’s contribution to lawfare began in the earliest days of the first Trump term and has become only more brazen. The swings and misses are there for all to see, every day. Yet the formula is now so routine that nobody pushes back.

    It works like this: The administration takes an action that offends liberal sensibilities. Interest groups rush to litigate, sometimes with prepackaged lawsuits. The press quotes liberal law professors and the litigators themselves as to why the suits are worthy. A liberal judge issues an injunction, which is treated as further proof of a lawsuit’s merit. The stories omit any critical analysis of standing, jurisdiction, merits or precedent. When a higher court corrects the legal overreach, the media, rather than acknowledge it got it wrong, insists the judges are in the tank for Mr. Trump.”

  6. Some good news out of Nepal….

    “This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.

    He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.

    School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: “Don’t come here. Go back.”

    One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.

    Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.

    But all 1,643 children survived.

    47 year old Rajendra Dadabi a teacher who became a hero when it mattered most. One man’s quick thinking saved 1,643 lives.”
