Infamy day: A moment of silence marks 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor

A moment of silence descended over Pearl Harbor at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time Wednesday, marking 75 years to the minute when the first Japanese war planes filled the skies Dec. 7, 1941, to lay waste to the Navy’s Pacific fleet and usher the United States into World War II.
TIME magazine names U.S. President-elect Trump Person of the Year

TIME waxes wistfully: "We can scarcely grasp what our generation has wrought by putting a supercomputer into all of our hands, all of the time. If you are reading this, whether on a page or a screen, there is a very good chance that you are caught up in a revolution that may have started with enticing gadgets but has now reshaped everything about how we live, love, work, play, shop, share—how our very hearts and minds encounter the world around us. Why would we have imagined that our national conversation would simply go on as before, same people, same promises, same patterns? Perhaps the President-elect will stop tweeting—but only because he will have found some other means to tell the story he wants to tell directly to the audience that wants to hear it."

"I was the lone American on the judging panel, but like the Canadian judges, I ranked Ontario chardonnays as No. 1 and No. 2, ahead of the oakier Napa examples. They were brilliant: light and crisp, with spiky acidity, succulent layers of lemon-lime and stony flavors, and a flinty elegance missing from the California wines. The two winners, Rosehall Run JCR Vineyard (No. 1) and Closson Chase South Clos (No. 2) reminded me of premiers crus white Burgundies—at a much cheaper price." Prince Edward County wines making their mark.

Rio the miniature therapy horse is recovering from a major mauling by a huge, dark-coloured cougar in the Webster's Corners area of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

Angus Reid Institute: 75% of Canadians support a referendum

The Liberal Party’s refusal to commit to holding a referendum is at odds with the desires of most Canadians. Asked whether they would prefer to keep the current FPTP system or change to a different system, more than one-in-five Canadians (21%) say they are undecided on the question. Similarly, fully two-thirds (66%) say changing the way the country votes is a “low priority”. Somewhat lost amid the debate over the committee’s recommendations on proportionality and holding a referendum are some of the committee’s other recommendations – specifically on mandatory voting and lowering the voting age to 16. The committee recommended against both considerations, though it did recommend creating a framework that would allow people to begin registering with the National Register of Electors up to two years before reaching age 18.
Toronto: Auditor General slams Wynne government; says sketchy cap and trade scheme will cost $2B, totally fail to hit emission targets

Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk slammed the Liberal government in her new annual report released Wednesday. Lysyk reveals that the province's expensive cap and trade program, due to take effect on January 1st, 2017, is projected to make only one-fifth of its targeted greenhouse gas reductions in Ontario. The remainder, says Lysyk, are expected to happen in California and Quebec, as Ontario companies purchase carbon-emission permits from firms in that state and province that have already gone green. ~ Mike Crawley CBC

Alaska: 2 moose found frozen mid-fight near remote village

Two moose were recently discovered frozen in battle and encased in ice near a remote village on Alaska's unforgiving western coast. It was the end of moose rutting season, and the animals were likely fighting over a female moose. Speculation is that one of the animals was wounded by the other animal's antlers, and perhaps died as their antlers were caught together, dragging the rival down with it.

"It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be President for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I'm reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. As I've said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their family."
Donald Trump wins the Presidency
in stunning upset over Clinton

When the state of Pennsylvania was called for Trump it put him over the 270 electoral vote threshold and he travelled to his campaign headquarters to speak to his supporters. Trump announced that he had received a concession call from Hillary Clinton. He called for national unity and said he would be President of all Americans. Commentators said his remarks were "almost lyrical", filled with grace and humility, in a moment of triumph.

Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta announces Hillary Clinton will not yet concede the election to Donald Trump. Hypocritically, Clinton had attacked Trump when he said in the third debate that he'd wait for the results.

'Greatest living poet': Dylan joins literary giants, only singer-songwriter honoured with Nobel
'How does it feel?' Bob Dylan awarded Nobel Prize for Literature

Despite his massive cultural influence, Dylan has remained an enigmatic presence. With his gravelly tone, he has long won acclaim in spite of rather than because of his voice. "Critics have been giving me a hard time since Day One. Critics say I can't sing. I croak. Sound like a frog," Dylan said last year in an unexpected career-spanning speech as he accepted a lifetime award at the Grammys. His relationship with crowds borders on indifferent to hostile, with Dylan steadfastly refusing to please audiences by rolling out his hits. Performing Friday at the inaugural Desert Trip festival of rock elders in California, Dylan did not say a word to the crowd and kept his back turned, not allowing overhead footage of him for the majority of the audience that could not see.

Dinesh D'Souza: How the Clinton Foundation got rich off poor Haitians

Bill Clinton shown in Haiti in 2011, where nothing has changed for the better, and Hurricane Matthew has killed nearly 900. In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.” Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. And in May 2015, they were back, this time outside New York’s Cipriani, where Bill Clinton received an award and collected a $500,000 check for his foundation. “Clinton, where’s the money?” the Haitian signs read. “In whose pockets?” Said Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.”

From U.S. National Hurricane Center: "This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink), tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical.

Matthew: Strongest storm to hit U.S. since 2005 — decade of relative calm
updated Cape Canaveral: Nearly 2 million urged to evacuate
as Hurricane Matthew edges toward U.S.

Windows being covered, hatches battened down along Florida Atlantic coast: Hurricane Matthew has killed at least 16 people in the Caribbean as it cut through Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas. The storm has been forecast to scrape much of the Florida coast Thursday night, potentially as a Category 4 storm with 210 km/h winds, and any slight deviation could mean landfall or it heading farther out to sea. Either way, forecasters say it is going to be close enough to wreak havoc along the lower part of the East Coast, dumping up to 15 inches in rain in some spots. A storm surge of 5 to 8 feet was expected along the coast from central Florida into Georgia.

Politico: Incompetents: What the FBI Files reveal about
technophobic Hillary Clinton’s jerry-rigged email server

Last Friday, the FBI released the final batch of what amounts to nearly 250 pages of interview notes and reports collected during the course of its investigation. Agents interviewed officials ranging from former Secretary of State Colin Powell to CIA officers to the IT staffer who first rented a minivan to drive the server from Washington to the Clintons’ home in New York. The files also include the FBI’s forensic investigative process and never-before-seen details of the staff decisions that led to the server, the mechanics of Clinton’s email system, and the confusing and balky State Department processes that led a technophobic Clinton to embrace her own BlackBerry.

Charlotte Burning: Soros-funded Black Lives Matter inflicts its terror
in a sleepy Southern city; intimidation, looting, shooting, mayhem

Two nights of rioting, including closing down and looting trucks on Interstate highways led North Carolina Governor to call in National Guard and state troopers to restore order in Charlotte. Outside paid thugs have been blamed for the escalation of violence after a disputed police shooting. 'Black Lives Matter' ringleader DeRay Mckesson describes rioting as "a cry for justice." He told Yale students that "looting for me isn't violent, it's an expression of anger," and that "The act of looting is political. Another way to dissolve consent. Pressing you to no longer keep me out of this space, by destroying it." But regardless of what such leftists say, there is no right to riot. "Although the right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the Constitution," law professor John F. Banzhaf III writes, "there is no constitutional or other legal right to commit criminal acts to make a point."

Seaside Park: Terrorist bomb along New Jersey shore route of Marine charity run would have maimed or killed if event had been on time


The top photo shows the damaged garbage can where other linked, but unexploded bombs were also found after the Saturday morning explosion. Bottom photo shows the narrow island and the location at D Street and Ocean Avenue. The charity run was delayed when an unattended backpack was discovered. That delay likely saved lives and limbs. Seaside Park is located on Barnegat Barrier Island, a dozen miles east of where the Zeppelin 'Hindenburg' blew up at Lakehurst in 1937, and about 40 miles south of New York City.

Vancouver: Will Electra Meccanica Solo at $15,500 be the electric commuter vehicle breakthrough?


Will this be the face and... behind... in your rear-view mirror next year? Priced from $15,500 and with the first deliveries expected in 2017, the Canadian-made Solo uses a synchronous electric motor that generates 82 HP and 140 pound-feet (190 Nm) of torque. This is fed by a 16.1 kWh lithium-ion battery that provides a 100-mile (160 km) range and can recharge in roughly six hours from a 110-volt outlet, and in half the time on a 220-volt system. "It has appeal for driving enthusiasts, practical commuters and the environmentally conscious. We believe the Solo will become the commuter vehicle of choice for the masses. The vehicle is non-polluting, very economical to operate and people will have a heck of a good time driving it too", said Henry Reisner, the Canadian company's COO.

Shortly after the attacks began, the most powerful man in the world, who had been informed of the second World Trade Center plane in a Florida classroom, was escorted to a runway and sent to the safest place his handlers could think of: The open sky.

Construction began in 1992 and is scheduled to be completed by 2017, just in time for Canada’s 150th anniversary. So far over 87% of the trail is complete, and it already connects most of the major cities in Canada. It's Canada's version of a 'bike path', exclusively designated for recreational purposes: only bikes, hikers and horseback riders allowed in the summer, and cross-country skiers, snowmobiles and ATVs in the winter. ~ Betty Anne Graves (middle)

Kingston abuzz as The Tragically Hip return with an inimitable goodbye


You couldn't walk 10 feet without having a friendly, but urgent media microphone thrust at you in downtown Kingston this afternoon. The line-ups at t-shirt booths were hours-long.

It was broadcast live worldwide by the CBC and more than 25,000 filled Kingston's Market Square for every last note, paying homage to the hometown band made good. The pictures above were taken about 3 hours apart, same location.

Full speech transcript: 'Understanding the Threat: Radical Islam and
the Age of Terror' as delivered by Donald Trump in Youngstown, Ohio
Youngstown: Trump calls for 'extreme' vetting to block extremists;
'We should admit only those who respect our constitution and values'

In a powerhouse speech at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump called for common sense to replace political correctness in major foreign policy speech. Speaking slowly and deliberately, the Republican Presidential nominee criticized his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, claiming they "unleashed ISIS" with their policies in Iraq and Syria. He will make combatting terrorism, domestic and foreign, and creating a safe country, the government's prime areas of foreihn policy focus. Trump positioned the fight against ISIS as an ideological battle akin to the Cold War. He called for cyber warfare to hit propaganda efforts online. Trump said he aims to screen out ISIS sympathizers, people who support bigotry or people who believe Sharia law should supplant American law. One of his first moves will be set up a Presidential Commission on radical Islam which will include American muslims. It will develop guidelines for vetting immigrants and controlling borders. Guantanamo Bay will remain open and foreign combatants will be tried by military courts. Those aiding and abetting terrorists singly or through support networks will be prosecuted and/or deported. "To make America safe again we must work together again." His speech was met by chants of 'USA USA USA'.
Trump Doctrine: Will end U.S. 'nation building' aka foreign meddling;
Instead, 'foreign policy realism' to put bulls-eye on ISIS & other extremists

Politico: How to hack an election in 7 minutes

When Princeton professor Andrew Appel decided to hack into a voting machine, he bought one online. Clutching a screwdriver, he deftly wedged out the four ROM chips — they weren’t soldered into the circuit board, as sense might dictate—making it simple to replace them with one of his own: A version of modified firmware that could throw off the machine’s results, subtly altering the tally of votes, never to betray a hint to the voter. The attack was concluded in minutes. To mark the achievement, his student snapped a photo of Appel — oblong features, messy black locks and a salt-and-pepper beard—grinning for the camera, fists still on the circuit board, as if to look directly into the eyes of the American taxpayer: Don’t look at me — you’re the one who paid for this thing. ~ Alex Halderman

Ottawa: RCMP releases photos of taxi in which
terrorist Aaron Driver died after bomb detonation

RCMP: “When he exited a residence on Park Street and entered into a cab, the RCMP’s ERT engaged the suspect, there was a detonation inside the taxi, and the suspect subsequently died following a confrontation with the police,” said Assistant Commissioner Jennifer Strachan, Commanding Officer of O Division (Ontario). Investigators worked diligently overnight to gather the evidence however, as this is an ongoing investigation, no additional details can be provided. We encourage Canadians to remain alert and to immediately report any suspicious or unusual behaviour to their local police or by contacting the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805.
updated Ottawa: Mounties acted quickly when alerted by FBI
and were in "a race against time" to stop suicide bomber; taxi
got through RCMP security perimeter after surprise arrival; police not
sure how Aaron Driver died; in video he pledged allegiance to ISIS

RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mike Cabana says tip received from FBI included a video of suicide bomber Aaron Driver, 24, and a warning that he planned to detonate a homemade bomb in an urban centre during morning or afternoon rush hour. In the video, aired during the news conference in Ottawa, a masked Driver is seen railing against western "enemies of Islam" and warning that the only solution would be the "spilling of your blood." Some media questions were answered Thursday afternoon but some questions remain, such as how Driver died: by police bullet or by shrapnel from bomb detonated in taxi. The RCMP's Jennifer Strachan, Assistant Commissioner and commanding officer for Ontario, said there will be an autopsy to determine how he died. RCMP thanked media for remaining quiet Wednesday about police activities when lives were in the balance.

was on peace bond; had cheered killing of soldiers in October 2014

Aaron Driver, 24, aka Harun Abdurahman, formerly a Winnipeg-based ISIS supporter known to police, was also arrested in June, 2015. Driver was not charged with a crime then, but in February was placed on a peace bond, a court order that restricted his movement, required that he stay away from social media and computers and not have contact with ISIS or similar groups. The sources also confirmed that the police action on Wednesday stemmed from a new video Driver made in which he threatened an attack on a "major city."

Strathroy is just west of London, Ontario, and due north of Cleveland, within a 2-hour drive of both Detroit and Toronto. According to an internal government document obtained by CTV News, the suspect planned a suicide bombing mission in a public area. The plan, according to the document, was to create mass casualties. Driver had claimed to be self-radicalized using material found on the internet, according to 2015 media reports.

Kissimmeee: Father of Orlando mass killer attends Hillary Clinton
rally; mugs for camera as she talks about nearby nightclub massacre

Seddique Mir Mateen, the father of the Orlando nightclub killer, had a high profile at Hillary Clinton's campaign rally in Kissimmee, Florida, near Orlando, Monday. He's seen in news video sitting in the crowd behind Clinton on stage, mugging for media cameras. His son Omar Mateen, 29, killed 49 people and wounded dozens of others in the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history. After the rally, Seddique Mateen told NBC West Palm Beach affiliate WPTV that he supports Clinton. "Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions," he said. Omar Mateen opened fire on the Pulse nightclub, a popular spot for the LGBT community, on June 12 and pledged allegiance to ISIS during a 911 call. The event was held not far from the site of the mass shooting.

Detroit: Trump lays out biggest tax and economic changes since Reagan;
says Motown mess is what Clinton policies will do to whole country

Trump delivered the biggest speech of the campaign Monday to a huge audience in Detroit. He laid out the broad brush strokes of his economic plan which will have more details to come. But there was plenty of change offered, from a way for companies to bring foreign profits home without a high tax hit, to eliminating taxes completely for low-income Americans and cutting taxes for all Americans, and reducing down to the 3 tax brackets favoured by the House of Representatives. Large and small businesses will have their tax rates cut to 15% from 35%, making them competitive with the rest of the world. Trump threw down the gauntlet. This is the link to the full speech on Youtube.

Niall Ferguson: Fishtown vs. Belmont, 2016

Donald Trump greets supporters after a campaign rally on Monday in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Niall Ferguson: "The declining, dangerous country that Trump described in his supposedly 'dark' acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland was Fishtown writ large. Indeed, you could simply change the names. For Fishtown read Cleveland; for Belmont read Philadelphia, where the Democrats held their convention last week. Viewed from Belmont, everything is awesome. President Obama’s speech on Wednesday was a masterpiece of self-congratulation. He proclaimed his “faith in America — the generous, big-hearted, hopeful country that made my story.” He celebrated the United States of Diversity." ~ John Moore Getty Images

Piezoelectric delivery: California freeways will soon generate electricity

The California Energy Commission has agreed to fund multiple piezoelectric pilot projects in the Golden State. According to a commission report, "Piezoelectric crystals give an electrical discharge when mechanically stressed." So as vehicles roll over a highway embedded with these crystals, an electrical current is created, which can be harvested to feed the grid. Similar programs have been launched in Israel and Japan, while Italy has a roadway project in the works.

The released documents database is searchable and includes voicemail messages in .mp3 format. A researcher's paradise.

NY Times: Evidence shows bias in police use of force but not in shootings;
study contradicts image of police shootings Americans usually told & hold

"And in the arena of “shoot” or “don’t shoot,” the Harvard study found that, in tense situations, officers in Houston were about 20% less likely to shoot suspects if the suspect were black. This estimate was not very precise, and firmer conclusions would require more data. But, in a variety of models that controlled for different factors and used different definitions of tense situations, it was found that blacks were either less likely to be shot or there was no difference between blacks and whites."

“It is the most surprising result of my career,” said Roland G. Fryer Jr., the author of the study and a Professor of economics at Harvard. The study examined more than 1,000 shootings in 10 major police departments, in Texas, Florida and California. Mr. Fryer is the youngest African-American to receive tenure at Harvard and the first one to receive a John Bates Clark medal, a prize given to the most promising American economist under 40.

Mr. Fryer said his anger after the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray and others drove him to study the issue. “You know, protesting is not my thing,” he said. “But data is my thing. So I decided that I was going to collect a bunch of data and try to understand what really is going on when it comes to racial differences in police use of force.”

Officers have to be held accountable; "bad ones can't define the rest";

Dallas Police Chief David Brown says he and his force are leaving no stone unturned in their investigation. He told one reporter during this morning's press conference "Now you're thinking like a police officer" when a question about accomplices was raised. Brown said he and other officers had been personally threatened since Thursday night, and isn't giving personal interviews because the workload running the force has intensified in recent days.

Lawyer: Minnesota cop reacted to Philando Castile's gun, not his race

This is Philando Castile bleeding after he was shot in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. The gun, shown in the red box, is resting on his left thigh. The policeman who shot him, of Latino heritage, says he told him not to move when he saw the gun. He says he reacted to the gun, not the man's race.
Multiple frauds in Minnesota tale: Philando Castile actually pulled over
as suspect in armed robbery, had gun on his lap like one used in robbery

This was the armed robbery for which Philando Castile was pulled over. He had a similar gun on his lap when police pulled him over for resembling this wanted gunman from a few days previous. Castile's girlfriend has made a number of false and/or unprovable claims about the circumstances surrounding his shooting by the police officer who pulled him over. These claims have led to violence against police across the U.S., including the five murders in Dallas.
