Fires in Canada threaten tens of millions of people. Eastern US states, including New York, have already warned residents about poor air quality, writes The Guardian. Forests in Canada are burning at a rapid pace, with more than 10 times the average area burned this year, according to the WSJ, citing the country's Department of Environment and Climate Change. Earlier it became known that because of the fires, the air in New York has become the dirtiest in the world.

Inside the Meltdown at CNN - The [far-left extremist] Atlantic

15,000-word “report” (an hour and 33 minutes to listen to it!)

(Archive … By Tim Alberta, June 2, 2023) Editor’s Note: On June 7, 2023, five days after this article was published, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Chris Licht would be leaving CNN immediately.

[7th or 11th paragraph down… depending on how you count conversational one-line quotes]

For 70 minutes in Manchester, the former president overpowered CNN’s moderator, Kaitlan Collins, with a continuous blast of distortion, hyperbole, and lies. The audience of Trump devotees delighted in his aggression toward Collins, cheering him on so loudly and so purposefully that what began as a journalistic forum devolved into a WWE match before the first voter asked a question. Vince McMahon himself could not have written a juicier script: Trump was the heroic brawler—loathed by the establishment, loved by the masses—trying to reclaim a title wrongly taken from him, while Collins, standing in for the villainous elites who dared to question the protagonist’s virtue, was cast as the heel. “She’s not very nice,” Trump told the studio audience, pointing toward Collins while she stood just offstage during the first commercial break.

Trump could be excused for thinking this was exactly what Licht wanted. The famously transactional ex-president had wondered aloud to his top aides, during their negotiations with CNN executives, what the network stood to gain from this production; when CNN made the decision to stock the auditorium with Republicans, the only thing Trump could figure was that Licht wanted a prime-time spectacle to resuscitate the network’s moribund ratings. The two men spoke only briefly backstage. “Have fun,” Licht told him. Trump obliged. He demeaned the woman, E. Jean Carroll, whom a jury had one day earlier found him liable for sexually abusing. He repeated disproved fictions about election fraud and suggested that he would separate families at the southern border again if given the chance. He insulted Collins, calling her “a nasty person” as the crowd hissed in agreement. At one point, when she and Trump assumed their marks onstage after another commercial break, Collins politely reminded him not to step past the giant red CNN logo in front of them. Trump responded by gesturing as though he might stomp on it. The crowd roared in approval.

…. He believed that Trump owed his initial political ascent in part to the media’s habit of marginalizing conservative views and Republican voters. That needed to change ahead of 2024. Licht wasn’t scared to bring a bunch of MAGA enthusiasts onto his set—he had remarked to his deputies, in the days before the town hall, about the “extra Trumpy” makeup of the crowd CNN was expecting—and he damn sure wasn’t scared of Trump. The way to deal with a bully like Trump, Licht told his journalists, was to confront him with facts.

Collins tried to do just that. She was, however, no match for the environment she’d been thrust into. Squaring off one-on-one against the country’s most accomplished trickster is difficult enough, but this was 300-on-one. The result was a campaign infomercial: Trump the populist champion, slaying his old nemesis and asserting to televised fanfare his claim to the presidency.

“Does CNN count that as an in-kind campaign donation?” the longtime broadcaster Dan Rather tweeted.

Rather’s comment was gentle compared with the torrent of criticism aimed at CNN. “Ready to call it: This was a terrible idea,” the conservative writer Ramesh Ponnuru tweeted, just nine minutes into the event. “CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” tweeted Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “This is an absolute joke,” tweeted former Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger. “Chris Licht is rapidly becoming the Elon Musk of CNN,” tweeted The Bulwark’s Charlie Sykes.

When Licht found me in the lobby, commenting on how not boring the night had been, it wasn’t clear how much of the blowback he’d already seen. What was clear was that Licht knew this was bad—very, very bad. Republicans were angry at CNN. Democrats were angry at CNN. Journalists were angry at CNN. The only one who wasn’t angry, it seemed, was Trump, most likely because he’d succeeded in disgracing the network on its own airwaves.

NOTE: This so reminds me of when they got rid of Piers Morgan after Piers platformed Alex Jones of InfoWars.com, John R. Lott, Jr., PhD, of Crime Prevention Research Center, Alan Gottlieb of Second Amendment Foundation, Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, even Ben Shapiro — and JLP and others… Although Piers spouted his mess, it was interesting because you heard the truth too.

RIP Pat Robertson

Dead ‘coon at mayor’s law office

(washingtonpost) Mayor Ed Fitch of Redmond, Ore., found a dead raccoon and a hateful message taped to his door Monday that named Clifford Evelyn, the city's only Black councilman.

(Archive / Wash. Compost) Mayor finds dead raccoon, racist note naming Black councilman outside office

Ed Fitch, the mayor of Redmond, Ore., stopped in shock when he arrived at his law office on Monday morning. Someone had taped a sign with a handwritten message on the door. Alongside it, propped against the doorway, was a dead raccoon.

“It looked like the raccoon had bled out, right there,” Fitch told The Washington Post.

Fitch was more alarmed by the content of the message above the raccoon corpse. Fitch and the Redmond Police Department said they were withholding the specific text, but that it contained “intimidating” language. It named Fitch and Clifford Evelyn, Redmond’s first and only Black city councilman.

Redmond police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime, the department said in a news release. Evelyn, who reviewed the sign, told The Post the message was clear. The dead raccoon evoked a slur for Black people, and he saw the message as a racist threat.

“It’s not unexpected for me,” Evelyn said.

Evelyn, 72, grew up in Harlem in New York, and moved to Redmond in 2017 after serving in the Navy and then an officer in a Washington sheriff’s department.

The scenic town of around 36,000 in central Oregon, popular with tourists and hikers, was an ideal place to retire. Evelyn said he hadn’t planned on getting involved in local politics, but ran for a spot on the city council at the encouragement of other residents.

Evelyn became the first Black city councilperson in Redmond’s history after he won his race in 2020. The town is around 90 percent White, according to census data.

The history Evelyn made wasn’t lost on him, and he said his goals in office have been to welcome diversity in Redmond and call out intolerance. The display at Fitch’s door reignited frustrations from “rabble rousers” that have dogged Evelyn throughout his time in office, the councilman said, referencing a previous controversy in 2021 when a Confederate flag was flown at the city’s Independence Day parade.

Evelyn said he did not know who left the message at Fitch’s office this week, but that some “feel threatened because I’m speaking up.”

“That’s not going to deter me,” he added.

Fitch said the act did not reflect the views of the majority of Redmond’s residents, who sent emails, letters and flowers after news broke about the hateful message. At Tuesday’s scheduled city council meeting, dozens of residents showed up to express support for Evelyn in person, he said.

“I really feel bad for Clifford that he has endured this kind of treatment,” Fitch said. “ … he has a lot of support. But there are some people there who just can’t deal with it. It’s on them, it’s not on Clifford.”

Evelyn said Redmond is growing in population and diversity as it attracts international tourists and new residents from other states. He said Monday’s message was a “growing pain” from a vocal minority contending with that change, and that he wants to continue to fight it.

“My goal is to welcome anyone that wants to come to Redmond,” Evelyn said.
