*CTV:* *Trudeau attacks Tories for not releasing platform as leaders prepare for debate* OTTAWA -- Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau took aim at the Conservatives on Sunday for not releasing their election platform as the majority of federal party leaders spent the day cramming for Monday's critical English-language debate.

On the Rise of Nationalist Conservatism

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
Liberalism became a dominant trend in the conservative movements after the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. But now it seems that the conservatives have realized that they cannot implement their political agenda even if they win the electoral battles as long as they continue to act like a clone of the liberals. Therefore, they are moving away from liberalism—they are going back to nationalism. Nationalist conservatism is once again a political force in several democracies.

How to Start a U.S.-Iran Shooting War: Iran Closes the Strait of Hormuz?

Sidharth Kaushal at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Sidharth Kaushal* *Security, * Would Tehran do it? How would Trump respond? The recent mining of two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, attributed to Iran by the United States, offers an important window into the strategic thinking of Iran and similarly situated regional powers. The incident is notable because the act of mining a limited number of vessels makes relatively little sense when viewed through the lens of traditional patterns of coercive behavior.

"Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even." ~ Daniel Berrigan Nickelback, “If Everyone Cared”

Clearly fed up Judge ultimatum — indict McCabe or dismiss case

Uriel at 'Nox & Friends - 5 hours ago
On September 12, 2019 there was a lot of rumble and expectations of a Grand Jury indictment of Andrew McCabe. Apparently things seem very uncertain in the legal world on the issue because unlike a regular court case, grand juries are done behind closed doors. . . The Hill , Washington Post, Washington Times, and other MSM sites reported everything from indictment imminent to Grand Jury refused to indict. They could only speculate. The LawFareBlog article “On the Mystery of the McCabe Grand Jury” on September 13th may have been perhaps the closest to understanding what the problem wa... more »

"A Prayer" "Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years. Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world knows ... more »

Ear closely attuned, mother leaves her bed and hurries to the nursery. Picking up the frightened child, mother says softly: “Everything will be all right, sweetheart.

Francis Menton at Manhattan Contrarian - 5 hours ago
[Here’s the] Washington Post defense of Biden’s conduct with respect to Ukraine, that appeared September 27. It’s an unsigned editorial, headline “The Ukraine facts are clear. But does truth still matter?” As to the Bidens and Ukraine, here is the key quote: “Mr. Trump has thrown up a smokescreen of denials, insults — and blatant lies. Over and over, he and his personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, have repeated the easily disproved claim that Mr. Biden sought to have a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to protect his son. Senior Ukrainian officials, including one of Mr. Giuliani’s own sou... more »
