Soros Stops Spending On Soft-On-Crime Prosecutors

House Concludes Biden "Actively Participated" In Impeachable Offenses - Except It's Too Late To Impeach Him
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-concludes-biden-actively-participated-impeachable-offenses-except-its-too-late
The GOP-led House committees who have been investigating the Biden family shook their fist at the sky on Monday, announcing in a 291-page report that the president engaged in impeachable conduct by helping to enrich his family with millions of dollars through various business schemes to trade on the family name - and then defrauded voters by lying to cover it up, Just the News reports.
The House Oversight, Ways and Means and Judiciary Committees said they believe the evidence from their nine-month investigation establishes that Biden abused his office and violated his oaths under the Constitution, according to the 291-page report reviewed by Just the News.
Obviously this would have been infinitely more helpful even a few months ago when there was time for the GOP-controlled House to take action (particularly before the DOJ concluded that Biden is too senile to prosecute), but hey - better late than never. Continue…

Lavrov Says 'Clear' That US Ordered Nord Stream Attacks, Demands Answers From Germany
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/lavrov-says-clear-us-ordered-nord-stream-attacks-demands-answers-germany
Russia is calling out the last several days of Western media reporting on the Nord Stream gas pipeline bombing as essentially a limited hangout.
Suddenly all of this 'new information' has come out of the German investigation and leaked to the press, and seems by design an attempt to shield both the Ukrainian president and Washington from any culpability, as we've been detailing. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has responded to the WSJ's recent reporting, saying Monday it was "clear" the US ordered the Sept 2022 attacks on the vital Russia to Germany gas pipelines.

Canada’s debt is “much worse” than the government lets on: study
https://tnc.news/2024/08/19/canadas-debt-is-much-worse/
A new study by the Fraser Institute finds that Canada’s debt is much worse than the Liberal government admits to.
The study found that the statistics the government uses to claim it has the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 are flawed because they count assets that cannot be used to pay off the debt in Canada.
“The study finds that Canada’s relative debt position, instead of being the best of the G7, falls significantly when total debt is measured instead of measuring debt after adjusting for financial assets,” a news release from the Fraser Institute said. “Net debt, which is the measure used by the federal government, offsets a part of the country’s total debt by including financial assets.”
When using net debt as a share of the economy, which refers to indebtedness after financial assets have been subtracted from the total debt, Canada ranks fifth lowest among 32 industrialized countries and the lowest among the G7.
Using total debt as a share of the economy, Canada falls to 26th place out of 32 countries and third lowest in the G7, outperformed by the UK and Germany. Continue…

Stand with pro-life trustee Mike Del Grande: LifeFunder
(LifeSiteNews) — LifeSite co-founder Steve Jalsevac recently sat down with Michael Del Grande, a Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustee, to discuss his struggles serving as a trustee faithful to the Church, his targeting by the radical left, his background, and more.
Jalsevac opened the conversation by asking Del Grande about his upbringing in Toronto as an Italian immigrant. Del Grande described how his family lived in poverty until he started kindergarten, and he didn’t even speak English until he began attending school. Before kindergarten, his family grew up in poverty. “I slept at the foot of my parents’ bed. That’s where we were at. And, to me, education was a great equalizer. I just loved education. I guess that’s why I became a school trustee,” Del Grande said.
Correction note: In a postscript segment at the end of the interview, Jalsevac misspoke when listing the three organizations against whom Del Grande is defending himself. The correct list of entities is: the Toronto Catholic District School Board, the Ontario Teachers’ Federation and the Human Rights Commission. Continue…
Missing Toronto realtor featured prominently in Beijing's United Front networks, records and sources indicate

Homicide detectives will be interested in Anita Mui's dealings and associations, York Regional Police say
While homicide detectives in Toronto search for a prominent realtor who vanished ten days ago, a profile of the woman’s associations is surfacing, showing a politically-active Chinese community leader who often rubbed elbows with Toronto Chinese Consulate officials, Canadian MPs and Senators, and deep-pocketed Chinese-Canadian businessmen who have been probed by CSIS and the RCMP.
York Regional Police say Yuk-Ying ‘Anita’ Mui’s white 2024 Mercedes Benz SUV, worth about $100,000, was found empty in a Scarborough strip mall a short drive from her home.
She left her home in Markham, Ont., the morning of August 9 and was reported missing by her family when she failed to return.
Police have searched a 10-acre rural property in Stouffville, 30 minutes north of where Mui’s Mercedes was found. Detectives believe Mui was scheduled to visit the property on August 9, potentially for real estate dealings.
Mui, who immigrated to Toronto from Hong Kong in 1990, completed many commercial real estate and luxury home transactions with high-net worth immigrant investors from China, she told a reporter in a 2017 profile article. She had also done well by investing in land assembly deals herself, Mui said, and “successfully planned, sold and managed civil and commercial real estate projects.”
Numerous articles on Mandarin-language websites display the other side of Anita Mui’s career: community fundraising and pro-PRC politics in Toronto networks overtly tied to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
A real estate agent contacted The Bureau with new information about Mui as Canadian media seek to understand her life and suspicious disappearance.
The real estate source provided a WeChat message sent out by Mui in 2023, in which she pressed Chinese-Canadians to sign petition-4395, a movement urging the Canadian government to reconsider a foreign agent registry.
The source, who will not be named for safety reasons, said they believed Anita Mui was “deeply” involved with community groups associated with the United Front Work Department, the Chinese Communist Party entity that is at the center of political and financial networks probed in CSIS’s ongoing Chinese election-interference investigations.
The WeChat message shows Mui’s business phone number and her profile picture.
“Less than 1000 signatures so far,” the message says. “If we don't speak up for ourselves, do we expect others to speak up for us? Let's all work together to mobilize our family and friends to sign!” Continue…
