VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson: What the DNC "autopsy" should have said

A week ago the Democratic National Committee released the post-election "autopsy" on the disastrous (for them) 2024 presidential campaign. DNC Chair Ken Martin published the 192-page report after facing intense internal pressure to release the previously-shelved document.

Before you watch the video, if you're a sucker for punishment, you might read through the full report, here: "DNC releases 2024 autopsy, with chair apologizing for 'creating an even bigger distraction’", NBC News, 21/5/26. See if you can figure out, without Victor Davis Hanson's help, what's missing.

No? You don't want to wade through 192 pages of the veriest bullshit? Well then... Mr Hanson says what's missing is any mention of the "New" Democratic Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that agenda is the reason why the Dimocrats lost so decisively in 2024.

They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in over 10 million illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women's sports, and the nature of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition. Listen up.

.

 

"In conclusion," says Mr Hanson, "if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda."

VIDEO: Canuck judges go easy on Singh School of Truck Driving killers

Q, What happens to an Indian Sikh if he takes his driver's licence test three times and fails every time?

A. He gets to move to Canada as a "foreign student" or "temporary foreign worker".

Then, all to often, this happens. You'll find the name of the transport driver [Not "Singh", shurely! Ed.] below.

Why yes, Ed. it is Singh. (All Sikh men are Singhs, although not all Singhs are Sikhs.) And the driver who caused this horrific crash is one is just one of dozens of Sikhs who have been treated with extreme lenience by Canadian judges in spite of the carnage they cause on the highways of the Great No-longer-white North. 

Why do they get special treatment? Because if they got jail terms of 6 months or more, they would be liable to be deported -- sent back to the Punjab (or "Khalistan", as they would have it) -- once they've done their time. Notice I say "liable". There is no guarantee that they would actually have to leave Canuckstan, since only 3% of deportation orders are ever carried out.

Earlier this month, Ontario trucker Sukhwinder Sidhu was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for a similar collision in which he plowed his rig into cars stopped at a construction site, killing former Canadian ice dancer Alexandra Paul. 

Two weeks ago, a Thunder Bay ON judge granted an absolute discharge to another Indian, Ajitpal Singh, who caused a fatal head-on collision with another trucker. Mr Singh's sentence was explicitly made light so that he would avoid deportation to India. 

This past January, Lovepreet Singh was sentenced to nine months in jail for driving his truck at full speed into a Toyota Corolla slowing for a construction zone.  A brother and sister trapped inside the burning car were killed.

In April of this year, a Federal Court judge deferred the deportation of Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the trucker who killed 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team in 2018 by speeding through a stop sign.  Mr Sidhu who served three-and-a-half years of an eight year sentence for the crash, and was ordered deported, but the judge -- a Liberal appointee like almost all judges in Canada -- granted a 17-month pause in deportation proceedings so that Mr Sidhu would have time to seek a permanent stay of deportation on "humanitarian and compassionate" grounds. 

Also in April, a BC judge gave 90 days of house arrest to trucker Dalvir Singh Jhattu for a 2023 crash that, according to police, could have easily have killed multiple people. Jhattu drove his tractor trailer at full speed into a tow truck that was in the midst of attaching a Mercedes that had been impounded by the RCMP. That's the crash shown in the video.

The latest incident of judicial insanity occurred this week in Kamloops BC, when Harpreet Singh pleAded guilty to driving without due care and attention in an April 2024 crash where his tractor trailer crossed the centre line and collided with a CN Rail work truck. Both vehicles exploded in flames after colliding. 

Harpreet Singh came to Canada from India in 2023, the year before the collision. One of those who met a fiery death was his passenger, Dharminder Singh. Also killed was Juver Balmores, a CN Rail employee and father of three.

Astonishingly, Crown prosecutors did not pursue criminal charges against Mr Singh, agreeing instead to a fine of C$2000 (about $1460 in real money) and 18 months of probation. Will he be deported? Will he at least be banned from driving for life? Chances are two -- slim and none.

This is what we've come to

Ed. tells you why...

Ed. here. Some readers, having noticed that there haven't been as many posts this month as usual, have expressed wonder about Walt's health. Let me reassure you. In spite of having a lot of hard miles on the chassis, Walt is in pretty good shape for the shape he's in. 

So why the occasional lacuna? There are two reasons. No. 1: It's gardening season. Plant in May and go away. Right? But arctic air coming down from northern Canada has held things up, so Walt is now in catch-up mode.

No. 2: Walt's getting old... really old... and just doesn't get as much done in a day/week/month/year as before. Agent 5, who has known Walt for donkey's years, has sent along this which pretty much sums up Walt's attitude these daze.

That's all ye know and all ye need to know. TTFN.

UPDATED: Your Sikhs today: Halifax NS edition - mother of dead baby has died without speaking to police

First the facts, just the facts. Two people charged with concealing the body of a child and indignity to human remains appeared virtually in provincial court in Halifax NS today Monday. Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, are also charged with resisting a peace officer and obstruction of justice. 

The Crown prosecutor, Paul Carver, told the court "The mother of the deceased newborn is currently in critical condition and unresponsive in the hospital." He asked for a three-day adjournment because of the "potential for additional very serious charges under these circumstances." Mr Singh and Ms Kaur remain in custody pending a bail hearing on Thursday.

The charges stem from an urgent search and investigation over the weekend for a missing newborn baby, whose remains were eventually found in a wooded area in the Goodwood NS region. Halifax Regional Police said they were first called at around 9:40 p.m. Friday about a woman in life-threatening condition who "appeared to have just given birth." 

An extensive search was launched by police and Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue, who combed the area around an apartment building in Halifax’s Clayton Park neighbourhood. That search continued overnight and through Saturday. Police said remains were discovered Sunday afternoon in a wooded area off Old Coach Road, 6 miles from the initial search site.

Constable Martin Cromwell told reporters today that the initial call was made through 911, although he couldn’t say who made the call. The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance from an apartment on Willett Street; however, the baby was not located. 

Four people, all known to the woman, were initially taken into custody for questioning. Halifax police said two were released and Mr Singh and Ms Kaur were charged. Mr Singh is described as a "relative of the woman."

An autopsy will be held to determine the cause and manner of death. PC Cromwell said it's unclear whether the baby was born alive. He said the woman's condition is still very serious, and investigators haven't been able to speak to her. 

Comment from Google AI: Sex-selective abortion is a deeply rooted practice driven by a strong cultural preference for sons. It remains an acute issue in parts of South Asia, such as India, and persists among certain diaspora communities in Western countries, resulting in skewed male-to-female birth ratios.

Further reading: "Over 23 million girls killed by sex-selective abortion", The Christian Institute, 21/5/19.

Update added 28/5/26: Halifax police announced yesterday that the 23-year-old woman who arrived in hospital last Friday in critical condition after giving birth has died. An investigation into the deaths of a woman and her newborn baby will be "challenging", the cops said. 

A spokesthingy said police investigators didn’t get a chance to interview the mother, who was described by a Crown prosecutor earlier this week as "unresponsive". Two people charged in connection to the discovery of the newborn's remains will remain in custody after a bail hearing did not proceed.

Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, are each charged with concealing the body of a child, indignity to human remains and two counts of obstruction of justice. 

Ms Kaur's lawyer appeared on her behalf in court on Thursday, while Mr Singh played the "no speak English" card when he appeared via video with a Punjabi interpreter. Police have previously said Mr Singh is a "relative" of the baby's mother. The pair did not seek bail and will return to court on June 22nd.

Your Sikhs today: (mostly) Brampton ON edition

Here are photos of seven men Brampton ON police call the "For brothers network".

You'll see their bearded pusses again in this photo lineup of 17 miscreants.

They are: Iqbal Singh Bhagria, 25, of Brampton, Akashdeep Singh, 24, of Norval, Ravinder Singh, 25, of Surrey, BC, Jashanbir Singh, 21, of Surrey, BC, Dilawarpreet Singh, 26, of Brampton, Mandeep Singh, 21, of Brampton, Prabhdeep Sohal, 22, of Brampton, Partapbir Ghuman, 22, of Brampton, Ajaydeep Singh, 29, of Brampton, Navroop Singh, 24, of Brampton, Rajan Singh, 28, of Barrie, Amritjot Singh, 22, of Brampton, Jashanpreet Singh, 22, of Brampton, Guneet Guneet, 27, of Brampton,Sukhwinder Singh, 32, of Brampton, Mohinder Singh, 30, of Brampton and Gautam Gautam, 22, of Manteca, California. [How did that last one get in there? Ed.]

Apart from their beards, what do you suppose these 17 men have in common?.....I'm sure you're way ahead of us on this one but here's the answer. They are all Sikhs and all are originally from south Asia, or India, to be precise. [What happened to diversity being Canada's strength? Ed.]

Not much, and all accused by Peel Regional Police of being involved in the extortion of innocent business people -- mostly compatriots and co-religionists -- for cash as part of a "pay up or you pay the price" criminal enterprise.

In recent months 324 gunshots were fired into two dozen Peel residences or businesses. The 17 men just arrested face 106 criminal charges over 24 incidents, of which16 are linked to the "For Brothers" network. The charges include arson and multiple shootings, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, breaches of court orders, and drug-related offences. Police also seized six firearms, illicit drugs, cellphones, SIM cards and fraudulent IDs.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel police told the meeja "The organized criminal network is allegedly responsible for a series of targeted attacks against the Region of Peel's South Asian community. They are believed to have been active in Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, and British Columbia, with links to California." Sources say one of those charged -- Sukwinder Singh -- is also wanted in India for an attempted murder. 

Only two (count `em -- 2 out of 17) of the alleged perps are permanent residents of Canada. The others range from visitors to "temporary" workers.* Some are said to have already been kicked out of Canuckistan and many will also face deportation hearings. 

Brampton mayor Patrick Singh Brown commented, "Talk about a complete failure of border security when you have 17 (alleged) foreign criminals terrifying a community and committing violent acts. All should be deported yesterday. There is no way this should be allowed to happen." Duh, eh.

Of course a hearing doesn't guarantee deportation. A Sikh student of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving who took out most of a Saaskatchewan hockey team in a horrific crash some years ago is still in Canada, pleading to be allowed to remain "on humanitarian grouns". And, as reported in WWW passim, Sikh criminals have become adept in claiming asylum, saying their lives would be in danger if they were returned to the "Khalistan" which they love so dearly.

* Footnote: Tim Hortons, the iconic Canadian coffee 'n' donuts chain, today announced that it would be ending its use of the "temporary" foreign worker scheme, saying it was "no longer necessary."

Two funny signs in under a week!

Hard on the heels of this one comes this one, advertising a prominent property and insurance litigation practice based (we believe) in Houston TX.

Thanks and a tip of the fedora to Agent 34. Lang may yer lum reek!
