Canada Officially Loses Recognized Country Status After Failing To Win Stanley Cup Again [...] "As much as it pains us to do this, we can simply no longer stand by and continue to pretend that Canada is a real nation," commented Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres. "There's no way that Canada — which is about 95% ice, I'm told — should be losing a game that's played completely on ice to the American state of Florida, which has no ice whatsoever.

This is pretty good advice in here. Does anyone think that CNN will let him say anything like it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some Advice for Trump Ahead of the Debate [...] Trump, however, should not be overconfident. As I mentioned, voters saw him as the loser of both debates against this same opponent four years ago. Republicans often over-estimate Trump's prowess as a debater (drawing laughs and applause with zingers in partisan settings isn't the same skill as winning over undecided voters who may be tuning in for the first time in a general election). They also foolishly tend to set expectations bar too low for Biden. The bar should be defending his disastrous first-term record, which has driven his approval rating into the high-30s or low-40s. The bar should also be convincing the 70-80 percent of voters who believe he's not physically or mentally up for the job that they're wrong. These are two Herculean tasks, of which he is likely incapable. But if the expectation is set that he will physically stumble, freeze up, drool, and either fall asleep or constantly descend into incoherent gibberish, that's a bar Biden has a good chance of clearing. He still might flop badly, but Trump shouldn't count on that -- nor should Republicans build that expectation. However Trump chooses to prepare -- and reports suggest that process has been, shall we say, rather informal -- here are a few suggestions I'd pass along if I were advising his campaign: [...] https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2024/06/25/some-advice-for-trump-ahead-of-the-debate-n2640863

Wella, wella -- sounds like election interference, collusion, and possibly even insurrection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bombshell Report Says Mike Morell, David Buckley Were on CIA Payroll When They Signed Hunter Biden Letter A bombshell report released Tuesday afternoon by the House Judiciary GOP claims that at least two of the 51 "former" intelligence officials who signed a letter discrediting the Hunter Biden "Laptop from Hell" as Russian disinformation were actually on the CIA's payroll at the time they signed the letter - despite actively asserting that they didn't have access to any classified information. Former Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley are the two signatories named in Tuesday's report as being on active contract at the time they signed the statement. Since the CIA "declined to declassify the entire universe of signatories who were on active contract," though, it's unknown how many signatories were both colluding with the Biden campaign and on the CIA payroll.

Massachusetts Tells Migrants at the Border Not to Come Because State Shelters Are Full I guess Joe Biden's executive order that was supposed to close the border to asylum seekers isn't doing much good. Gov. Maura Healey (D-Mass.) sent several of her top aides to several cities in Texas where they visited migrant shelters and told border officials and non-government organizations in no uncertain terms to keep migrants away from the Bay State because the shelters were full. "This trip is an important opportunity to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts," said L. Scott Rice, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general in a statement. Healey appointed Rice to lead the state's overburdened shelter system.
