About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Fifty shades of "Professional" Journalism
"She carried his words in her wallet, his love in her heart.
The couple bought a kitten together not long ago. They
named it Dragon."
Remember, this is Canada's "national broadcaster"
reporting on a double homicide. Wait 'til they get to
the part about life in this otherwise idyllic community.

Thanks for the Beach Boys!
I see the CBC is going full throttle at getting Hillary elected, on our tab of course. CNN was running the same story today.

I saw the Beach Boys in Calgary in July '78 when they were at the old Stampede Corral. It was a great show, but my ears were ringing for quite a while afterward.
50 years after Pet Sounds, and they're still touring! They're scheduled to do 45 more shows this year.

There's three shows in Niagara Falls.
The "experts" are getting it wrong because instead of actually trying to obtain data are trying to create opinion.

They kept records.
Looking back on the Great Leap Forward
Frank Dikötter explains how the gradual opening of Chinese archives has revealed the appalling truth about Chairman Mao’s genocidal rule.
What comes out of this massive and detailed dossier is a tale of horror in which Mao emerges as one of the greatest mass murderers in history, responsible for the deaths of at least 45 million people between 1958 and 1962. It is not merely the extent of the catastrophe that dwarfs earlier estimates, but also the manner in which many people died: between two and three million victims were tortured to death or summarily killed, often for the slightest infraction.

I hope you are not banned. I think you add a lot of human interest to the site. Your posts are quirky and fun.
I agree, Joe is having fun with his four leaf clovers. However they used to be free and now he has priced himself out of the market, much like the Ontario government!

Interesting...
Since the release of Peter Schweitzer’s book Clinton Cash, which have been greatly bolstered by the deep and ongoing financial investigation by Charles Ortel, the sensible public understands that the Clintons have no scruples, in accounting or life. For money, the couple will do anything, including sell out the country.
Now the Clintons’ fingerprints have been found on a deal to lease one of the most sensitive national ports to an Arab shipping company with ties to Iranian-backed terrorism.
Gulftainer, a shipping company based out of the United Arab Emirates, obtained a 35 year lease to operate Port Canaveral. Because the deal is based on a lease (i.e., not outright ownership), it received no national security review.
Port Canaveral is home to NASA, a nuclear submarine base, Patrick Air Force Base, and numerous other national security installations!
The deal was rubberstamped by Treasury Secretary, Jacob Lew, a Clinton family friend.
Gulftainer was implicated by Iraqi officials in delivering weapons to Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq (specifically the Badr Brigade, which is responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers).
The same week that details began to emerge on Gulftainer’s operating proximity to NASA, the United Arab Emirates announced a new space program. Obama had given NASA instructions to make Muslims “feel good” about accomplishments.

https://consumerist.com/2016/07/29/president-signs-law-that-outlaws-vermont-gmo-labeling-rules-replaces-them-with-barcodes/
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fast-tracked a controversial piece of legislation aimed at overturning and preempting state laws for labeling foods made with genetically modified ingredients. The Senate passed the bill without going through committee or debate, and then the House okayed it without changing a word. Now comes confirmation from the White House that President Obama has signed the legislation into law.
$15,000. is a bit rich, even for a four-leafed clover, Joe. That's $3,750. per leaf. Tim Hortons must have jacked up the price of a mug of coffee into the $$$ stratosphere.

Vote Joe Molnar For Woodstock City Council
An original SDA "regular"" is running for a seat on city council in Woodstock,
On. The civic election is Oct.25th, and let's just say his opponents are damned
lucky the seat isn't decided by internet poll.
if you are being as "eccentric" at the local timmys as you seem to be here, they
may end up taking away your coffee privileges...
...or calling your wife to come fetch you.

http://www.gq.com/story/justin-trudeau-style-white-jeans
And,for those who haven't had their daily dose of liberalism, GQ says Justin MAY be the most stylish politician on the planet!!!
White jeans and a woman's teal silk blouse. Snappy.
At least in this gay pride parade, Justin's tongue is not hanging out, like a dog in heat.
But, hey, Justin thinks it's all OK for the greater good: "You know, there's a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime".
Hmmm ... weren't the Chinese killing fields at their height during the "Great Leap Forward"? THAT showed the world just how well a dictatorship can "turn on a dime"; it just needs lubrication.
I would have trouble arguing with that, however, "stylish" is not a quality one looks for in a Prime Minister. If anything, it suggests a certain level of frivolity. I am embarrassed by Trudeau.
The hack of the DNC could have been coordinated by someone inside the U.S. intelligence community angry over Clinton’s compromise of national security data with her email use.
http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2016/07/31/exclusive-nsa-architect-agency-clintons-deleted-emails/
And the other point is that Hillary, according to an article published by the Observer in March of this year, has a problem with NSA because she compromised Gamma material. That is the most sensitive material at NSA. And so there were a number of NSA officials complaining to the press or to the people who wrote the article that she lifted the material that was in her emails directly out of Gamma reporting. That is a direct compromise of the most sensitive material at the NSA. So she’s got some real problems over there.
I guessed they had it all. Someone over there is very, very pissed..
Surprise, surprise....

But until now, it looked like the Khans were just Gold Star parents who the big bad Donald Trump attacked. It turns out, however, in addition to being Gold Star parents, the Khans are financially and legally tied deeply to the industry of Muslim migration–and to the government of Saudi Arabia and to the Clintons themselves.
Khan, according to Intelius as also reported by Walid Shoebat, used to work at the law firm Hogan Lovells, LLP, a major D.C. law firm that has been on retainer as the law firm representing the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States for years. Citing federal government disclosure forms, the Washington Free Beacon reported the connection between Saudi Arabia and Hogan Lovells a couple weeks ago.
“Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show,” Joe Schoffstall of the Free Beacon reported.
The federal form filed with the Department of Justice is a requirement under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, which makes lobbyists and lawyers working on behalf of foreign governments and other agents from abroad with interests in the United States register with the federal government.

Hmmm... $15000 in a brown paper bag... where have I heard that before?
http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/004256.php
The DNC email link is only the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, to quote Churchill.
WikiLeaks purports to have evidence Clinton lied to the Benghazi Committee, specifically Rand Paul, about having "no information" about arms transfers, the alleged dirty little secret that may help explain why the Ambassador left the safer confines of Tripoli for the AQ hotbed of Benghazi, during a time of heightened security and numerous requests that protection be enhanced, all ignored.
Oh I forgot, everybody else is lying about Hillary lying:
- Comey didn't actually use the words "she lied," except to acknowledge she did in answer to a question from Trew Gowdy.
- The Benghazi mother lied, not Hillary, and because she misremembered she now cannot call Hillary a liar, that wouldn't be right.
- Hillary must have misremembered having more than one mobile device when she misstated that.
- Now she just didn't have "that information" right in front of her at the Benghazi hearings, but Assange now alleges she did indeed know about "that."
Assange, notwithstanding his creepy nature, warned the DNC emails would be a political bombshell. He was right. Now as Hillary tries to say everyone misremembered but her in order to get a convention bounce - a new set of damaging revelations is set to emerge.
Hillary is like the Germans in Stalingrad, soon to be encircled, but she will not withdraw, retreat or acknowledge her mistakes and mendacity. That would have saved the German troops, but it won't save her; so, she is all in to win the election and wipe her corruption slate clean.
Without that victory, she is looking a deep legal trouble, possibly jail, but certainly lifetime exile from any public offices.

It's all meant to distract Canadians from the fact that the real prime minister, Gerry Buttshead, is quiety destroying this country.
I don't think Butts is the real Prime Minister -- someone at the UN is. Butts is the go-between and handler of JT.
Wondering what Colonialista is going to say about this!
"George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf has filed complaints against Marilyn Mosby with the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland. He alleges Mosby and two deputies committed ethics violations, used “fraudulent or misleading tactics," withheld evidence from the defense and brought charges without probable cause against the Baltimore police officers involved in the April 12, 2015 arrest of Gray, who died of injuries suffered inside a police van."
Oh yeah, there is more;

Give Joe a break.He comes from my home town of Woodstock Ontario, in the heart of Conservative country. Next time I visit the cemetery where my parents,grandparents,aunts & uncles are buried I'll pay a visit to Timmies and say HI!
Dear Joe Molnar:
Sorry, I don't have $15,000 for a four leaf clover. I survived alcoholism, thanks to AA. 32 years sober now. I thank the Almighty. Glad you're OK!! Good luck.
I'm old enough to relate to this joke:
"The Beach Boys are still performing but the only surfing they do is the internet searching for remedies for enlarged prostate"
I don't care about the idiot race biting prosecutor. The cops still put a live Gray into the van and killed him there. And that is the bottom line. They are guilty of murder and murderers should hang, period.
The fact that you really don't care that they killed him speaks volume about you.
