Leader of Canada’s House of Commons apologizes for honoring man who fought for Nazis
The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons apologized Sunday for recognizing a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II.
Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
“In my remarks following the address of the President of Ukraine, I recognized an individual in the gallery. I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision to do so,” Rota said in a statement.
He added that his fellow Parliament members and the Ukraine delegation were not aware of his plan to recognize Hunka. Rota noted Hunka is from his district. — AP News
Our Take: “Birds of a feather flock together, eh?
They really aren’t hiding what and who they are anymore.
Yaroslav Hunka received a standing ovation from Trudeau and Zelensky, which, of course, does not surprise seeing as how he served in a Third Reich unit accused of war crimes, and as such is more than likely a hero for these two.
What’s more apparent, though, is that the Deep State no longer cares about hiding what they truly are, and who they truly emulate—that being Nazis and War Criminals.” —
Another Take: “The shot-chaser combos are coming fast and furious these days in the Info War.
Perhaps the most memetic event of the weekend was the Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to an avowed Nazi in front of the world ... while Trudeau sends (professional actor) Zelensky home with hundreds of millions in fresh Proxy War funding in the midst of an economic depression at home.
If you're looking for awakening, this pattern should make you smile.” —
(Editor’s Note: While The Telegraph ran this headline last week based on claims allegedly made by Abramovic, they removed the article over the weekend. The Epoch Times ran the following header.)
Our Take: “The news that Exhibitionist President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked Spirit Cooking ‘Artist’ Marina Abramovich to become a Ukraine Ambassador, specifically to work with the displaced children of Ukraine, has me swinging between disbelief and disgust.
Abramovich puts a face to the elusive cult of Lucifarian pedovores behind the epidemic of child sex and organ trafficking. That’s, of course, a ‘dangerous QAnon conspiracy theory,’ except when they put it on display and call it art. Abramovich is often photographed alongside some of the world’s most powerful players, at ‘art exhibits,’ where the elites pretend(?) to eat human flesh, drink human blood, and celebrate human suffering and dehumanization. But it’s just art. If you’re not a ‘cultured elite,’ then you probably wouldn’t get it … or something.
This is the new Ambassador who is going to make sure the displaced children in Ukraine aren’t exploited or abused. The disbelief is gone now, and I’m holding pretty steady at disgust. Save the children.” —
Post-ABC poll: Biden faces criticism on economy, immigration and age
A Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Biden struggling to gain approval from a skeptical public, with dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the United States is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term.
Biden and former president Donald Trump appear headed for a rematch of their 2020 contest, although more than 3 in 5 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they would prefer a nominee other than the president. But Biden’s advisers have argued that he is the strongest Democrat for 2024 and those who wish for someone else share no consensus on who that should be, with 8 percent naming Vice President Harris, 8 percent naming Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 20 percent saying they prefer “just someone else.”
The Post-ABC poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle, although the sizable margin of Trump’s lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat. The difference between this poll and others, as well as the unusual makeup of Trump’s and Biden’s coalitions in this survey, suggest it is probably an outlier. — The Washington Post
Our Take: “The Media Industrial Complex is (accidentally?) informing their own readers that Donald Trump is the de facto President of the U.S., even if his name isn't on the placard right now.
Going Bicameral with this, it signals:
A) Trump is going to win the 2024 election in a landslide, even according to [their] public metrics.
B) The theft of the 2024 primaries and/or generals is going to be even more obvious than the 2020 theft was, ratcheting the public mandate not just for a change in leadership, but for a change in the systems that install said leadership.
Even our losses will eventually turn to wins.
The Awakening marches ever onward.” —
Democratic Mayor Of Dallas: "American Cities Need Republicans... & I'm Becoming One"
While the Democratic Mayor of Dallas says the city has thrived, Eric Johnson writes in a very frank WSJ op-ed that, elsewhere, Democratic policies have exacerbated crime and homelessness.
"The future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism.
Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP."
As we have written in detail previously, cities governed by Democrat mayors have seen the largest increases in homicide rates over the past year as well as registered the highest homicide rate per capita in Q1 out of 45 cities, according to a new report.
"In other words," the Dallas Mayor adds:
"American cities need Republicans - and Republicans need American cities."
And that's exactly what he does - changing his party affiliation to 'Republican', ready to leave office in 2027 as a Republican. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “Johnson is not the first Democrat to switch sides recently. Elliott Pruitt from West Virginia, Tricia Cotham from North Carolina and Jeremy Lacombe from Louisiana have also jettisoned the sinking Democratic ship in the last few months; however, Johnson is the most notable, and most powerful politician to switch sides in recent memory.
Serving as the Mayor of Dallas is no small deal, and the sitting Mayor of Dallas switching from Democrat to Republican is yet another sign that more and more people—including members of their own party—are seeing the fact that the Democrat party is no longer what it once was and has become infected with far left ideologies and wokeism.
And big surprise here, but as it turns out, a large portion of the population just doesn’t want to embrace communism.” —
Fox Misled Viewers On Poll Showing Trump Beating Biden.
Fox Business’s Varney & Co. appears to have intentionally altered a graphic breaking down a Fox News presidential poll in an effort to mislead viewers. The poll, conducted between September 9th and 12th, shows former President Donald Trump leading incumbent Joe Biden 48 percent to 46 percent, but the graphic displayed by Varney & Co. on Monday uses what can only be described as a purposefully confusing method to label the results – giving the appearance that Trump is losing to Biden 46 to 48 percent.
The flipped results and added complexity of the Varney & Co. graphic caused confusion on social media, with some users citing it as evidence of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis having the ability to win in 2024. The poll, in fact, shows the opposite.
Stuart Varney, the host of the Fox Business program, is slated to be a co-moderator for the 2nd Republican primary debate on September 27th. — The National Pulse
Our Take: “It’s fun that this story broke on the same day it was announced that Rupert Murdoch is stepping down and handing over power to even-more-communist son Lochland. Misleading the audience is critical to manufacturing consent, and manufacturing consent is Fox’s prime directive these days.
While the network is dead, it’s important to remember that it died with Roger Ailes who, in his business and communications brilliance, saw a market opportunity to cater news to the silent majority, gave conservatives a voice, and grew the network to be the envy of cable news.
It’s been downhill ever since Ailes passed away in 2017 and, with stories like this, it’s clear that Fox hasn’t yet found its bottom.” —
Biden Claims It's Republicans Who Are "Undermining Our Border Security"
Joe Biden claimed Thursday that it is really Republicans that are to blame for undermining the security of the southern border, despite a massive surge in numbers of illegal immigrants coming across under his administration.
Addressing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Biden also claimed President Trump “spent four years gutting the immigration system.”
He further claimed that he has “developed federal experts” to deal with the surge of illegal immigrants, whatever that means:
The comments came after Biden’s press secretary refused to answer questions about the massive influx, including a surge of over 10,000 in one day this week, sarcastically dismissing the issue out of hand. — Summit News
Our Take: “Overton's Goalpost is currently being deployed as the Establishment retreats from Narrative ground previously held on everything from border security and nationalism itself to their latest attempt at kickstarting a new Forever War engine overseas.
The Collective Mind doesn't need to announce that they're fed up in order for it to be so; apathy among the public is something the powers that would be can ill afford on the edge of the 2024 inflection point.
You don't need enemy psychological combatants to adopt your POV to win a Mind War; you only need them to abandon their own.” —

Marina Abramovich should NEVER. Be allowed near children. Zelensky wants her the be an ambassador for displaced kids? Are you fk*g serious?? They aren’t hiding anything anymore. These people are sick
WOW, y'all had me nodding my head right from the Takes on the Canadian Nazis straight through to the "Biden claims..." Takes.
Disgust is my take too Ashe!
It is very exciting to see like the last two Takes point out how Normieville is starting to move. I see and firmly believe that We the People are growing stronger every day. To that end the most common behavior I see all around me here in rural NC (and elsewhere when we travel) is Nomies who no longer tow the DS Rat Bastard's line any more. It is conversation about how they are not getting the vaccine this time (even with the ones that are now wearing masks again) to open positive responses I get to the Trump gear I wear. We are winning. I feel it getting stronger every day.
Keep up the great work.
God Wins!
God Bless!!!
