  1. I discovered the videos posted by the son of H. Wouk and have downloaded them to my laptop and will have several weeks of viewing the documentary, depending on how difficult it will be. I have a much younger friend who has visited Pearl Harbour twice and I have no idea how anyone can bear to see the USS Arizona memorial.

      1. What a great choice for me, Nancy! Thank you so very much for remembering. I really really appreciate your thoughtfulness!!

    1. I’ve also been twice but only once to Arizona. We had, as many might, the odd experience of sharing the boat over with quite a number of Japanese tourists.

      My young kids didn’t believe me when I pointed at the Missouri and told them the ship below is the same size.

      1. I saw a documentary the other day where they interviewed survivors and my blood runs cold thinking of what it was like to hear the tapping knowing unless those still inside found a lucky opening, there was no hope for them. They allow survivors to request that an urn with their ashes be placed there when they die. Whatever gives you a sense of peace I guess.

  2. Having trouble staying awake waiting for CPC election results?

    Disregard the lyrics and listen to the best music mash up ever.
    Can’t post links, sorry

    The Prodigy v Public Enemy – Shut ‘Em Up

  3. The Operations centre in an excellent channel because of their visual style. Desert Storm day 1 really made me feel for the airborne air traffic controllers.

  4. This battle is particularly interesting to me due to the background work of the U. S. Navy codebreakers and radio operators.

    1. May he wrest in peace!!

      I won my vote, for the second time. I was an Scheer supporter, but thanks to the leftist CBC, we lost.

      I believe O’toole has a plan for the CBC. Let’s see if he’ll carry it out!!

    2. Oh, dear….. what will Belinda think of him now? (“Loser! Twit!”)

  5. Three Gorges Dam update:

    The deeply concerned about the Three Gorges Dam stories have started just like I predicted,

    https://www.indiablooms.com/world-details/SA/25602/china-three-gorges-dam-hits-highest-level-anxiety-grows-among-public.html

    Fortunately, their concerns are based on old data. Yes there was a huge record breaking amount of water (75,000 cubic meters per second) flowing into the dam pool, and the pool level was rising. It peaked Saturday at 167.5 meters, 7.5 meters below the maximum pool level. The inflow has dropped, and is now less than the water flowing out of the dam discharge gates, so the pool level is at 166 meters and dropping.

  6. Angry Adolf is back from his relaxing weekend at Harrington Lake, better known as the Wolf’s Lair. Today he is in private meetings, although he will be making a phone call to the prime minister of New Zealand to discuss Islamophobia and the glorious path to socialism. Meanwhile after the lovefest last week for Dementia Joe, the North American media has already started its hatefest for Trump.

  7. The Toronto Star, Warren Kinsella, born again communist Charles Adler, and the rest of Blackie’s media are outraged that Peter Mackay didn’t win the leadership. Those damn Christian social activists are evil.

    1. The disgracefuk canadian Media has right or socon or Christian in all their non-biased, non-partisan headlines.

      It’s only early, so O’toole will probably get a 2 day possible, almost honeymoon(as long as nothing juicy comes up) from the unbiasednonpartisan canadian Media before every lying story has a headline with far right in it.

      Have you ever seen far left used in a canadian media headline?
      Ever?
      Not even in regards to , wait for it, the far left Chinese Communist Party.
      Or terrorists.
      Excuse me.
      Protestors.
      Or the burn, loot, murder gang currently en vogue.
      Excuse me.
      Dumbest Democrat fundraisers ever.

      At least 4 per cent of black people voted for a white president running against Obama.
      I swear Sikh temples never interfere in politics.
      And Muslims never listen or follow their religious leaders’ dictates anyway.
      But with those icky Christian thingees, hardly a day goes by there isn’t a harlot stoning or a first born sacrificed somewhere.
      Dishonest media.

      At the Council of Carthage (397), the biblical canon for the western Church was confirmed.
      In Spain and the Spanish Empire, salt was poured onto the land owned by a convicted traitor (often one who was executed and their head placed on a picota, or pike, afterwards) after their house was demolished.

      Like most Christians, I feel I have progressed in the last 2400 years, and so, I feel no need for the heads of any CBC’ers on a pike.
      But razing the buildings, salting the land, and statues, lots of statues are definitely in order.
      Suggest a huge Don Cherry holding a big You People sign and wearing a visor.
      Maybe Stock Day on a seadoo. Pointing true south.
      Presto Manning with a bible, parting the St. Lawrence Seaway and giving Quebec the smallest piece!
      Stephen Harper playing piano, singing his very own original composition ‘Learn to Code CBC”.
      And of course Donald J. Trump, replete with MAGA hat and the inscription” The Media is the Enemy”.

      CBC has to go!

  8. As a disaffected conservative I will reserve judgement on O’Toole. Rejecting MacKay was a necessity for the CPC. I reserve judgement but know that the West must separate and I will continue to support that through Wexit. I simply do not trust the CPC leadership anymore. Culturally and economically I do not see a common interest. Eastern conservatives are really no different than the liberals.

    What would really rock the conservative world is if O’Toole can bring Bernier back into the fold. I highly doubt that but the reality for Bernier is that most of his support is in the West and Wexit will take much of that from him. His options are limited.

  9. Blacklock reports that Angry Adolf’s health minister China Patty is open to discussions legalizing cocaine and heroin. Also Blacklock reports that a number of charity organizations complained to the government that the WE program was poorly drafted and were upset that WE was going to charge them a huge fee to participate.

    1. FOX News is reporting that millionaire NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has apologized to that great patriotic American, millionaire Colin Kaepernick. Today I have decided not to follow any NFL football. My wife will be happy on Sunday afternoons.

  10. And now your Canadians are racist bastards story for today. Blackie’s CBC website is excited that plaques have been erected on diverse Toronto streets named after historical figures who are racist slave owning bastards.

  11. I know we dont do politics well here. Like most conservatives we’d rather win an argument than win an election or more likely….just bitch. It’s the nature of the conservative.

    Sooo, the CPC once again has a new leader. In political terms he might be saleable? Conditions have to be right. The bong has to have completely lost his ‘mojo’ before voters will give him him the boot. Might still be too early in the election cycle.

    Once in a generation is about the right timing in Canada.

    1. Bong is messing up big time. Canadians might be willing to give O’Toole a minority. Actually, I think they might have been willing to do so with Scheer had he been given another chance. I don’t see that O’Toole offers anything that Scheer did not. People can see the country is on the wrong path, and Trudeau’s new plans seem wildly risky. I think he will be gone. But I also think that any O’Toole government will be short lived. It’s the Canadian way. Canadians are gluttons for political abuse — so long as you use nice words to disguise the abuse. Liberals are very good at that. “Diversity is our strength” and similar baffelgab.

      1. The bottom 50 per cent of Canadian income earners pay 9 percent of taxes and receive more than 50 percent of taxes disbursed.

        That Liberal demographic and typical canadian work ethic is growing dramatically.
        Communism initially works well for the idiot demographic.
        Or at least sounds good to the tiny minds of the progeny of the worst parenting cohort in history, baby boomers/busters.

        Throw in corrupt canadian Media and the Librano’s mindless, disgracefully misleading pandering to women, immigrants, young people and the entitled; and it’s truly a miracle that any kind of math is real, reality matters political party is ever elected.
        Though the Conservatives are pretty much all talk, nada action.

        Liberals. Lying all day every day.
        CBC. Lying all day every day.
        Toronto Star. Lying all day every day.
        CTV,CBC, Global. Lying all day every day.
        Politicians, Media, Government, Bureaucracy, Business. Lying all day every day.
        Canadians sure love themselves some liars.

      2. I suspect that if the Libs loose support it will be the NDP and the Greens who pick it up, not the Cons.

  12. All hail the statist overlords whom we’ve inserted into power, and our wallets, in perpetuity.
    The good news is he’s an RMC grad, the bad news is he was a navigator. I see CBC is thrilled.

    “Erin O’Toole has won the leadership for the Conservative Party, promising to present a vision to make Canada more prosperous and reaching out to broaden the party’s base of supporters.

    After a six-hour delay due to glitches with the ballots, O’Toole took 57 per cent of the votes on the third and final ballot, compared to 43 per cent for second-place contender Peter MacKay.”

    Once again this party snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Soon O’Toole will be a militarist, “right wing” intolerant, so “unsuitable.” The CPC has given a lay up to the mediocracy and her Grit masters.

    For all you western separation types, we’re about to do it the hard way.

      1. Will that mean that the “ceremonies” will now be half as long? Half as boring and idiotic?

        Probably not….

    1. It looks like it’s in Rossdale, near the old city power station or Renfrew Park.

  13. The Liberal Party’s Toronto Star is upset that Hitler O’Toole among other things will be mean to China. And even worse, he believes indians who break the law with blockades etc. should be arrested.

  14. RNC is knocking it out of the park by the way, they gotta make commercials out of these speeches.
