    1. SHALL NOT be infringed. So easy to understand the concept.

    “These Americans are trapped in their jobs: they need to pay $10,000 to quit

    Why would dozens of news anchors recite a Sinclair Broadcast group script? Because their contracts entrap them”

    “Dozens of news anchors robotically intoned “This is extremely dangerous to our democracy,” after reciting what turned out to be a script by Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner and operator of 193 local TV stations. Dan Rather called it Orwellian, and many have asked in amazement: why would local journalists across the nation allow themselves to be used in such a demeaning way?”

  2. America and Nazi Germany Waged an Undeclared Naval War Way before Pearl Harbor

    Between September 1939 and December 1941, the United States moved from neutral to active belligerent in an undeclared naval war against Nazi Germany. During those early years the British could well have lost the Battle of the Atlantic. The undeclared war was the difference that kept Britain in the war and gave the United States time to prepare for total war.With America’s isolationism, disillusionment from its World War I experience, pacifism, and tradition of avoiding European problems, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved cautiously to aid Britain. Historian C.L. Sulzberger wrote that the undeclared war “came about in degrees.” For Roosevelt, it was more than a policy. It was a conviction to halt an evil and a threat to civilization. As commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, Roosevelt ordered the U.S. Navy from neutrality to undeclared war.

  3. Kinder Morgan has just announced they are putting the brakes on the pipeline. Citing inter provincial legal impasses.
    This could all be resolved in short order if our PM announced the project is in the national interest.
    Don’t hold you breath……

    1. I think they waited for the past few days while Sock Boy was in B.C. and Fort McMurray to see if he had a spine and when it was obvious he didn’t they needed to do something to break the impasse. This was Sock Boy’s “Just watch me” moment and instead we got “Who me?” instead. He went to Fort Mac and put the blame on Harper.
      Rachel is not too happy. I think she may have just declared war on B.C.

      Says Rachel Notley to B.C.: ‘You can mess with Texas, but you can’t mess with Alberta’

      1. Red Rachel standing up for Alberta? Yeah, right. I guess she’s seen the writing on the electoral wall and hopes that she can dupe enough people in the province for her to squeeze out a minority government.

      2. I think it is time for Canadians who care about the future of the country to start boycotting BC.

    2. Since when does PM Soy Boy do anything in the national interest? Not that his father was any different. If Quebec doesn’t benefit from it one way or another, it’s not in the interest of the (post-national, sharia-compliant, gender-balanced, Soros vassal) country.

  4. AGW Kills.

    “Record low in Tioga, ND

    Far, far, far below the average for the date.

    Minus 9 F (-22.8C) is far, far, far below the average for the date of 28F (-2.2C).”

    1. You know how it works, don’t you? If it’s too warm, it’s “climate change”. If it’s too cold, it’s “climate change”. There’s no satisfying that bunch, is there?

  5. “Facebook has reportedly limited the page of the pro-Trump YouTube sensations Diamond and Silk.”

    “Masters of Universe Crack Down on Diamond and Silk”

    “Facebook Allegedly Deems Pro-Trump Diamond and Silk ‘Unsafe to the Community’”

    “In a post on their Facebook page, Diamond and Silk, an internet commentating duo that became popular during the 2016 election for their vocal support of President Trump, stated that after much deliberation, Facebook has deemed their content and videos “unsafe to the community.” The post on the duo’s page reads;

    “Diamond And Silk have been corresponding since September 7, 2017, with Facebook (owned by Mark Zuckerberg), about their bias censorship and discrimination against D&S brand page.”

    ““Finally after several emails, chats, phone calls, appeals, beating around the bush, lies, and giving us the run around, Facebook gave us another bogus reason why Millions of people who have liked and/or followed our page no longer receives notification and why our page, post and video reach was reduced by a very large percentage.””

    ” Orban Scores Crushing Hungarian Victory in Boost to EU Populists

    Ruling Fidesz party projected to secure new supermajority

    Anti-immigrant campaign triumphed over divided opposition”

    ‘Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban scored a crushing election victory to clinch a fourth term in a boost to Europe’s populist forces that are challenging the European Union’s multi-cultural, democratic values.”

  7. “European Union’s multi-cultural, democratic values” LOL

    Gotta love Bloomberg’s spin.

  8. On a brighter note, and one dear to the proprietor of the site, we had the treat of watching “The Black Stallion” on TCM this afternoon. If you only watch one horse movie in your life, this could be the one to watch. The sound editing alone, during the climactic race, is pure art. This is an underrated classic.

    “Viktor Orbán: re-election of Hungary’s anti-immigrant leader is major challenge for EU

    Brussels now confronting a country at the heart of the continent that is making an exit from the bloc’s liberal values, but continuing to pick up the cheques”

    “It’s a safe bet that few in Brussels are celebrating Viktor Orbán’s resounding win. Elected for a fourth term, Hungary’s anti-immigrant nationalist leader poses a profound challenge for the European Union.

    Since returning as prime minister in 2010, Orbán and his Fidesz party have chipped away at Hungary’s democratic checks and balances, curbed judicial independence and clamped down on the independent media. Hungary’s democratic backsliding has been accompanied by a drumbeat of xenophobic rhetoric, directed against refugees, Brussels and George Soros.”

  10. the Liberal MPP Bob Delaney defended the amount of debt the province has accumulated over the past decade. “We have tripled [the debt], and we’re proud of it, because we can afford it,” Delaney said at an event Thursday covered by The Mississauga News. “It’s the responsible thing to do. It’s the correct thing to do, it’s what people have asked us to do, and I would do it again, and I would do it proudly.”
