    1. “Gain of function”. A great phrase. I ask myself just why on Earth would anyone want to increase the function of a virus? Wouldn’t it be better to “decrease” its function? But, then of course, we all know what it really means – weaponization. Maybe this incident will cause the militaries of the world to drop biological weapons, just as WWI taught us how bad chemical weapons were.

      1. “Gain of function” is a large controversy within the field. Hopefully the Wuhan disaster puts that debate to rest.

      2. Or possibly exploring the utility of stable highly potent WMDs keyed to particular monolithic population groups with smaller than average genetic diversity…?

      3. The idea is to understand what can make viruses more dangerous. When we see a changed virus we might better know if it can be dangerous or is closer to being so.

    1. Especially considering that MPP is almost entirely right, with a perspective shared with a goodly number of medical authorities…

  1. I am finding the troop build-up in Washington to be very disconcerting. I think they are up to 25,000 military. That seems excessive for what is to be a virtual inauguration. Why not just block roads? Regardless, I think Trump people are staying away. Any thoughts on what this excessive military presence is about?

    1. Time will tell. All prognostications to date have been off, so get some popcorn and a beer/bottle of wine. The show is about to start.

      At best, we’ll be happy with the results. At worst, we’ll have something to drown our sorrows.

    2. Democrats preparing for the final communist takeover of the American government and society. They are doing it because they know that Americans like Canadians will not lift a finger to keep their freedom and remove tyrants from their midst.

    3. Theatre. Remember Trump the White Nationalist Terrorist [TM] leader, and his 100 million supportes, are out to defy the will of the American people and force his dictatorship on them.

    4. Heard on the radio yesterday that the Washington police (might have been capitol police) were asking for a 50cal machine gun for crying out loud!

      They said there were more troops in DC than in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. To protect the most popular president elect in the entire history of the USA. Yeah.

    5. I am hoping they are there to arrest Biden, Kamaltoe, and Pelosi for treason. Sadly, I am beginning to feel this might not happen.

    6. It is probably all about Antifa, financed by our favourite foundations and “not-for-profits, wearing MAGA gear and showing up to riot as they were allowed to do all summer. Except, this time they will be condemned, but not rounded up.

  2. Meh.
    Back in the day, pitchforks and torches meant impaling people and burning buildings with people in them. Now we are so much more civilized, and so much more enslaved. Mighty Mouse was more of a man than we are now.

    1. Taking vaccine advice from the fucking Chicoms is like taking quantum physics lessons from Juthtin Weirdeau.

      1. But according to a fawning Maclean’s magazine article, Justin Trudeau is conversant in quantum physics. Trudeau said as much at a press conference at the MARS building in Toronto, a few years ago, and the booetlicking media there accepted his statement at face value.

        1. The editor at Canada’s national Marxist magazine Macleans, is the husband of Climate Barbie.

          1. OJ – I didn’t know that but that explains a lot. No wonder Macleans took a hard left turn.

      1. Everyone should watch this from start to end. Very truthful and factual. A brilliant speaker.

      2. Thanks for the link. Good info for people who probably have not been digging for facts on the net.
        I sent the link to most of my email contracts & hope they will pass the info along. Also added this info:

        She had limited time so didn’t mention that within about a two week timeframe there was a second bogus “study” slamming Hydroxy. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Like the one in Lancet, it was also retracted within a couple of weeks because the data in this second “study” also was utterly bogus. It is fair to guess that serious money and considerable influence was used to blast the world with these completely false “studies”.

        Attacks on Hydroxy & Ivermectin – How/Why? My guesses:

        1) They are a threat to RAPID APPROVAL (i.e. EUA) for widespread human use of the drugs in the experimental stage. An EUA is only granted if no alternative is available. Similar rules probably apply in Canada and most other countries.

        2) Hydroxy & Ivermectin treatment protocols can prevent and cure covid disease and are:
        a) very safe
        b) highly effective
        c) very low cost
        d) virtually no adverse side effects
        They are danger to Lockdown Advocates/Politicians and to the drug industry. Few people might elect to ask for, or want, one of the new drugs which are plagued with some very serious side effects. Or support lockdowns and masks etc.

        One of the USA rules for EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) for incompletely tested new covid drugs:
        “There is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating the disease or condition.”

  3. President Trump was blamed for the siege of the US Capitol last Wednesday, however the FBI confirmed the attack was planned several days in advance.

    Solomon said the FBI, NYPD and USCP had prior knowledge of plans for violence at the US Capitol, including intel threatening murder of police officer.

    If this was a planned attack, you can’t accuse the President of inciting a spontaneous attack when it was planned days before.

    John Solomon also said that inside sources leaked maps, internal documents helping to assist rioters enter and navigate the Capitol building.

  4. A quiet evening here. I just checked the DVD library, and pulled out a collection of Victor Borge’s work. What a player, and wit.

    1. He put on a show at the Jubilee Auditorium here in Edmonton in the mid-1970s. He had the audience roaring with laughter. It was a good evening’s entertainment.

  5. I’m not sure if this has been on here before, so if it hasn’t been, it adds a lot to the Woofloo debate.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9129749/How-Peter-Daszak-WHOs-team-investigating-original-source-outbreak.html

    Peter Daszak is the main player in playing god in the virus world. For some reason, he did not want any mention of the possibility of the COVID19 virus being created in a lab.
    Gee, i wonder why?
    And why should he be on the team checking into the origin of the virus?
    Interested people want to know to make sure that any findings are not contaminated by the BS WHO/UN.

  6. The Post Millennial@TPostMillennial
    WATCH: Video shows elderly man brutally beaten by Guelph police officer
    https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1349814178182262785
    ————————————————————————————————————————————-
    L- Post-Modern Critical Age Theory dictates that if two police officers are going to punch and wrestle with an elderly, white haired, old man. The police officers should also be elderly, white haired old men. Clearly, police officers should reflect the visible identity of those they are using “justifiable” force against.

    Is this Covid-19 related ? Or is this senior being arrested for drive-by shootings in defense of his street gangs territory for dealing in black market Metamucil ?

    1. Covid infractions, very possible, we’ve seeing more of this all the time. At some point, a good citizen should feel compelled to come to the aid of the elderly man. This would be most easily done by applying a 2×4 to the region of the police officer’s head that needs to be morally and ethically reset. Not enough to seriously injure; just enough to, as they say, knock some sense into him. Being charged for doing that would be a badge of honor.

    2. There are two cops that need to be beaten to within an inch of the their miserable freaking lives.

  7. Bitter Cold Means Chaos as Global Energy Systems Show Strain.

    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/bitter-cold-brings-chaos-global-072341642.html

    Freezing weather that’s sweeping the northern hemisphere is causing chaos in energy markets and damaging infrastructure with households from Japan to Pakistan and France being asked to curb their electricity use.

    The extreme, widespread cold took markets by surprise. The spikes in energy demand during the bitter winter, coupled with weak wind generation, power plant closures and liquefied natural gas tanker delays highlighted the shortcomings of global energy systems in weather conditions that are only set to get more volatile.

    The extreme conditions left some energy traders and utilities flat-footed, sending prices for electricity, fuel and vessels to record highs.

    1. Hunh.

      Nice to have a pile of stored energy available at a dispatchable resource.

      Allows some nice buzzwords… resilience, anti-fragile, smart.

    2. Warming no, climate change yes, we are going to freaking freeze to death. We have to start using the green freaks as fuel.

        1. Robert of O. Funny! You reminded me of that joke: The KKK and Greenpeace are collaborating on a new campaign called “Keep the Arctic white”.

        2. Ugh. I wouldn’t want to touch most of them while they’re alive, now you want me to eat them?

          No thanks!

  8. The bought and paid for media is outraged that the Bloc leader raised questions about Adolf’s new muslim transport minister. The media reminds everyone that only trashing Christians on a daily basis is allowed.

  9. Conrad Black at the National Post defends President Trump. People in Toronto go bananas in the comment section.

    1. How about a nice black polo shirt, like the ones the Proud Boys wear? I think that would be appropriate…

  10. The Irish Funeral Dog
    An American man was leaving a convenience store with his espresso when he noticed a most unusual Irish funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary Irishman man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man couldn’t stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the Irishman walking the dog and said:
    “I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I’ve never seen an Irish funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?”
    “My wife’s.”
    ”What happened to her?”
    “She yelled at me and my dog attacked and killed her.”
    He inquired further, “But who is in the second hearse?”
    The Irishman answered, “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.”
    A very poignant and touching moment of American and Irish brotherhood and silence passed between the two men…
    The American man then asked “Can I borrow the dog?”
    The Irishman replied, “Get in line.”

  11. Dementia Joe’s shindig is starting to look like the old Woody Allen movie Bananas. Joe surrounded by troops, ranting everyone should wear their underwear on the outside of their pants, and everyone age 16 is now 17.

    1. Not likely.

      At one company I worked at, I was in a situation where I knew that a certain course of action would lead to difficulties for the project we were working on. I warned my superiors about that and was promptly ignored. My being so closely associated with that situation, in their minds, made me biased and they, being somewhat distant from it, knew better.

      Sure enough, the proverbial hit the fan. Guess who got blamed? Yup. When I brought up the matter with the section chief later on, his excuse was “You didn’t try hard enough to convince us.”

      Everybody above me in the pecking order found a way to evade responsibility for over-ruling me.

      Just watch. Even after enough evidence is provided, Trump will still be blamed for much the same reason I related: he “didn’t try hard enough”.

      1. In a similar vein, I recall my father when he worked for Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada) warning against purchasing the Vickers Vanguard. Its predecessor, the Vickers Viscount was an excellent aircraft, but the Vanguard was a dog. His warnings were ignored, it was purchased and he was proved correct but he became the fall guy for it. As one gets older you realize that the only thing worse than to be proved wrong is to be proved right. Oh and as matter of family honor, I avoid Air Canada whenever possible. Old hates are the best.

  12. And now your diversity is our strength story for today. Three OPP officers have been charged regarding the tow truck industry. One of them is named Mohammad.

    1. Yup. Muhammad Ali Hussain. One name of seemingly European origin (Simon Bridle), and Bindo Showan was the 3rd (I hadn’t seen the name before, apparently Bindo is a Tamil name?). Gifts and favours in exchange for certain companies getting the calls. Bridle is the only one charged with receiving sexual favours.

      A nice, multi-ethnic crime group, just like you see on TV all the time.

  13. Right-Wing Site American Thinker Retracts ‘Completely False’ Dominion Voting Claims

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/right-wing-site-american-thinker-retracts-completely-false-dominion-voting-systems-claims

    “These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims,” American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson wrote. “It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees.”

    1. Yup, because when lawsuits are threatened, it’s far cheaper and easier to stand back.

      Just ask Mark Steyn how much the defamation case has cost him in the fetid sewer of the DC justice system. Even though Steyn WANTS to go to court. In lawfare, the system is the punishment.

      1. Shitbag doesn’t understand money. He lives in the dark basement of his whore-mother’s house, pining about the one job he ever had: cleaning the now-extinct bathhouse his “uncle” owned.

      2. This is besides the point which is that AT and its cohort never had an iota of evidence to back its ridiculous claims.

        This is all so very hilarious coming from a group that supported a degenerate for president who has explicitly called for making it easier to sue for defamation.

    2. Does not mean that the machines were not central to the steal. Just means Dominion was not obviously complicit. I think it has been confirmed that the machines can be connected to the Internet. Hacking is possible, and we have a guy in Italy who has now confessed.

      1. Sorry Linda, that it doesn’t mean any of what you said is true. It just means they don’t want to be sued.

        Even if AT are correct, Mark Steyn is the precautionary tale. Dominion has people with deep pockets behind them who want to ruin their opposition. Getting AT stuck in never-ending regulation is one way to ruin those that run AT.

      2. “I think it has been confirmed that the machines can be connected to the Internet.”

        The only thing that can be connected to the internet is a touchpad that has no bearing on the count. There was no steal and the ‘Italian job’ is just more psychobabble. May as well claim lizardmen did it.

        1. I trust the touchpad can connect wirelessly to the Dominion machines. Who all might have had control of those touchpads? I don’t think Dominion was actively controlling the cheat, but they were not exactly an innocent bystander either. For example, the machines were available for automatic updates.

          1. Well, what do they do then? They must have some purpose. Are they used when updating? Well, then that would potentially affect how votes are counted. And if you have never been near a Dominion voting machine, how do you even know how they might be tampered with? Truthfully, you don’t know.

  14. Blazing Cat Fur has the real story on why Blackie’s minister Bains resigned, and it wasn’t for personal reasons.

    1. Exactly … This story is huge, just confirming the corrupt government that we have now in Ottawa.

      Bains has made himself into a wealthy person now. He will never be Laurentian elite, though …

    1. If it features density and type of piercings, tattoo types and locations, and hair colours that only appear in nature as a warning, I’m with you.

  15. Some interesting items at Principia Scientific Intl. A good site if you want some valid cov2 information.
