in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Today, a former Ontario privacy commissioner is calling for an external investigation into why, for a decade, the B.C. government agency denied the data breach, which a fifth estate investigation shows affected 28,000 health-care workers.

Not for nothing, but I think Pete Buttigieg has to be in the running for Sexiest Man Alive. He not only looks great, but he's so brilliant, so compassionate, so principled. He served his country in the military, as a Mayor, as a Secretary of Transportation. Good husband! Good Dad! Love that guy!

I admit that Pope Leo is the closest thing to a Pope preaching the message of Jesus that I have seen in my lifetime. I mean, still tons of hypocrisy there given the level of wealth the Catholic Church has but does not share. BUT STILL! This is STILL good. Ya know? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Ontario Liberals are soon choosing a new leader. Found the list of names being floated interesting. I do worry that Nate Erskine-Smith has accidentally found himself as this era's Gerard Kennedy. Love both guys but politics is tough. #onpoli #cdnpoli www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Just learned that #BeverlyHills90210 has come to #CraveTV in Canada. They are advertising it as including all episodes so those prior issues with episodes being removed will, allegedly, not be continuing here. I still remember sneaking to watch this as a kid when I wasn't allowed. LOL.

Fetterman looks like he isn't doing well in terms of health. It's bizarre to me that American lawmakers are supportive of extrajudicial murders of civilians on international waters. It sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Extremely.

Republican Senators, with an assist from Sen. John Fetterman, voted down an attempt to block the Trump administration’s missile strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. interc.pt/4o9CBur

A photo of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., sits on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 1, 2025, in Washington, overlaid with the headline, "Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks," and the DEK, "It was the first time members of Congress were put on record about whether they supported or opposed the president’s war in the Caribbean."

Something definitely smells funny. No doubt about that. I don't know if this kid is or isn't the shooter. I just know that the Trump administration is so corrupt that we will never really know. They have botched the investigation at every step.

Pam Keith @pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 1d

Is anyone else curious about the dead silence from the FBI about the Kirk thing?

The guy they have in custody is likely not the shooter, and everything the FBI told us to date about it was complete bullshit.

So what’s really going on? All that initial hysteria, and now total silence?

Weird
