But Wait! There's More!

Often, there is ...




Oh, this doesn't look good for the Liberals:

Voters in Manitoba have decided to keep the Progressive Conservative Party in power during Tuesday’s provincial election.

Polls closed at 8 p.m., and the PCs are leading or projected in 35 ridings, 29 seats are needed to form a majority government. CTV News Winnipeg has also declared a majority government for the Tories.

The NDP is leading or projected in 19 ridings, the Liberal Party in three and the Green Party in zero.



On September 11th, 2001, Islamic terrorists killed nearly three thousand people on American soil.

On September 11th, 2019, the writ for the federal election will be dropped:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will visit Rideau Hall Wednesday morning to launch the 2019 federal election, with voting day set for Oct. 21.

Informally the campaign has been well underway for months, as the party leaders have been criss-crossing the country to get their messages out and attack their opponents. But Wednesday will mark the formal start of the writ period as Trudeau visits Governor General Julie Payette to start the process to dissolve Parliament.

Justin has a little over a month to plead his case for not being back on the supply list again.




Because it's an election year, Justin will bring out the extra big Kleenex:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a break from election planning on Tuesday to visit the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia, where 100,000 people are still without power after Storm Dorian hit on Saturday.

Nova Scotia, the Liberals and grift go hand-in-hand-in-hand so if Justin doesn't up the ante with more than the paltry $500,000 CDN he gave to the Bahamas, as opposed to the $10.5 million to Omar Khadr, then some people might opt not to vote for his party.




No, "unacceptable" is allowing the thumb-in-the-eye misogynist garments to be worn in a Western country at all:

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May won’t tell her candidates to oppose Quebec’s ban on religious symbols for some public-sector employees — a position the National Council of Canadian Muslims says is “unacceptable.”

While May made her disapproval of the law clear in April by openly condemning it, she has not made it mandatory for the party’s candidates to do the same.



Trump fires John Bolton:

In a series of Tweets Tuesday afternoon, Trump said the pair had had numerous differences of opinion, and that it was time to end the relationship. Trump also suggested Bolton, known for his hawkish views, had also had disagreements with others in the administration.

Bolton has been a bulldog about national defense.

I can only imagine the head-butting that went on.




Justin told a veteran and his fake leg that his government had every right to take him and his comrades to court. Canadians tolerated this douchebaggery.

The standard of living has declined for Russian veterans and they voted accordingly:

An anti-Kremlin opposition candidate has won a rare seat in Moscow’s legislature with the help of some army votes, election data showed, suggesting that discontent over falling living standards may have reached parts of the military.

Sergei Mitrokhin won his seat in Sunday’s election partly by triumphing at two of four polling stations near the Russian army’s main headquarters where military families voted en masse, Reuters data shows.

His victory also came despite the army’s practice of ordering soldiers to cast their ballots in elections to help boost usually poor turnout and – the authorities hope – also increase support for Kremlin-backed candidates.

Mitrokhin, who represents the opposition Yabloko Party, had taken part in a wave of street protests over the exclusion of other opposition candidates in the weeks leading up to the vote.

He won 39% and 32% of the vote, more than other candidates, at polling stations No. 167 and 168 near the main Defence Ministry building on the Moscow river embankment where some 1,140 servicemen and their family members voted, election officials said. Overall, Mitrokhin won more than 50 percent of votes cast in the area where he was standing.



Make Bethlehem great again:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention on Tuesday to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank if he wins next week’s general election.

“Today, I announce my intention, after the establishment of a new government, to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea,” Netanyahu said in a speech broadcast live on Israeli TV channels.



I'm sure the bleeding-hearts will be all over this:

Turkey, which for eight years has welcomed millions of Syrian refugees, has reversed course, forcing thousands to leave its major cities in recent weeks and ferrying many of them to its border with Syria in white buses and police vans.
