Oh, look! Is Abigail Schimke, the UCP’s Central Alberta Director, the same Abby Schimke who works in Administration at Lighthouse Christian Academy — the very school that was just awarded $4 million by the Government of Alberta? 🤔

Another good day for press freedom, similar to what happened in Hungary when Orbán lost. Will anyone at Fox News apologize or resign for being state TV if the Democrats sweep the midterms?
📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed that modern Arab Muslims don’t produce science and literature as they once did or win prestigious prizes, sparking backlash.
Experts in Arab studies blasted the remarks as steeped in ignorance. wapo.st/4ic3wWA

Bolsonaro fleeing Brazil and heading to the U.S. sounds like all of those illegal border crossings MAGA is always fucking crying about.

Here we go: Fraud, breach of trust and money laundering inside the GOA!
Those are the criminal offences now confirmed to be under investigation by the RCMP in connection with procurement practices at Alberta Health and AHS.
This isn’t speculation. It’s in writing, from a Crown prosecutor, in a letter filed with the Alberta courts.
For nearly two years, the UCP government has tried to distract and avoid accountability but they can’t hide forever.
I raised concerns about these contracting practices, and Albertans deserve answers.
The government can continue to deflect and deny, but it cannot avoid a criminal investigation.
Accountability will come calling.

Mitch Sylvestre taking the next step to challenge Premier Danielle Smith's leadership.
Sylvestre is the UCP riding president of the Bonnyville- Cold Lake - St. Paul ... which just voted to call for a leadership review on Smith in November.
This is wild considering that since its inception, #UCP has been affirmative action for separatists, cranks, various rogues....they've been platformed & elevated over many others #ableg #cdnpoli
The best person for the job should get the job. Period.
Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions.
Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

WOW!
Jeff Rath posted text messages that he alleges are from Danielle Smith!
These texts seem to show her coordinating with the separatists to launch their original question, though Rath claims he took them as her coordinating with @LukaszukAB !
What do you think?

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

Trump says “Norway sucks” and is a “shithouse country” because it won’t give him the Nobel Prize.
Insane. We have a mentally unbalanced president.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I think it should be a bigger story that the eldest son of the President of the United States is vacationing with corrupt Russian oligarchs.
Wow. Financial Times reports that Trump Jr. went on a Mongolian hunting trip with the Russian businessman who financed his wedding party. The trip was in August, three months after the wedding. ft.com/content/f41fc704-c9e6…

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.
And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too.
He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros.
And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb.
But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?
