The country held a national election last week, in which the incumbent prime minister was ousted by a political dilettante. So, today’s Question is: Who is Canada’s prime minister elect? a.)

An American soldier was killed this week during a successful mission to rescue hostages held by the terrorist caliphate called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also referred to as Islamic State, ISIS, ISIL, IS, Daesh and D’aesh). The death marks the first of a U.S. soldier fighting ISIS, and is the first U.S. combat fatality in Iraq since 2011.

The terrorist attack on the U.S. Libyan consulate in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans happened more than three years ago, but Washington remains divided between those still seeking to affix blame and those more inclined to treat it as a case of “sh-t happens!” Well, sh-t definitely happened and boneheaded decisions were definitely made with regard to that particular consulate’s security.

The U.S. Presidential election is more than a year away, and yet the media has all but narrowed down the number of potential candidates to a dozen Republicans and a small handful of Democrats. As it stands today the Republican field is being led by a bombastic, P.T. Barnum-wanna-be style billionaire, who, it must be admitted, is mildly amusing. Leading the Democratic side is a career politician who has been pining for the White House since she was evicted from it in 1998.   READ MORE
Dear Islamic Extremists (Ansarullah Bangla,  Ansar al Islam Bangladesh and other groups targeting writers and cartoonists):  I understand that you have expanded your hit list of bloggers to be killed due to their written commentary that you believe to be offensive to Islam. So far this year you have successfully butchered four Bangladeshi bloggers, and have recently added nine more European and North American bloggers to your hit list.  Please add m   READ MORE
