  1. If you think the people in that video are stupid just read the comments. The stoopid, it burns.

    1. You just witnessed what will happen when the shit hits the fan … when everything crashes … when everyone goes into survival mode. When society collapses. Everyone will take the the Hershey Bar and ignore your ingots of gold and silver. If you’re “investing” in Armageddon … invest in FOOD … and ignore all the precious metals hucksters.

      1. Food makes a lousy medium of exchange particularly for people without access to it. When the shit hits the fan, those urban people without a time tested medium of exchange and means to defend against theft will survive only as virtual slaves or within gangs of armed combatants.

        I’d guess that anyone now in Venezuela with silver coins has a much better chance at buying food than those with rapidly declining bolívars.

        1. I saw the desperately hungry victims of Venezuela’s Socialism track-down stray farm animals and pets, and slaughter them for food and for a medium of exchange. I did not see any images of Venezuelan’s in the gold or silver mines. Or Emerald mines. Nor did I see them pulling gold fillings out of corpses.

          1. Black markets within repressive regimes don’t usually make YouTube clips of their activities.

          2. In todays environment you could always use the silver to pay the carbon tax just before you starve to death because of too much government.

          1. The bullets allow you to take the food. ‘You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.’ –Al Capone

      2. When society collapses, the precious metals will be steel (blued or stainless), lead, copper, brass. You’ll need wood, too. And of course, plenty of powder, kept dry.

      3. When the shit hits the fan there won’t be somebody on a street corner offering free Hershey bars.

    2. I don’t think it is stupid people but human nature. Most people learn that they don’t get something really nice or expensive for free (unless they enter and win contest) and there must be a catch or a trap or they feel like they’re being bought.

      Try giving someone you hardly know a $150 birthday present and watch them cringe.

      1. You might have had a point if those in the video had walked away from both offers, but that’s not what happened. People were offered two items, one of which was several orders of magnitude more valuable than the other. They chose the chocolate bar. It was a stupid choice by any objective measure despite attempts here and in the video’s comment string to rationalize stupidity, suggest a test which didn’t occur, and an invocation of the apocalypse.

      2. you are completely correct Travis.
        we lived in st catharines 30 yrs ago. as an experiment I put a $20 bill under a plank 2 blocks from downtown and told people going the opposite direction exactly where it was, all they had to do was go fetch it. 4 blocks out of their way. 20 bucks gratis.
        no one did, so I went back and retrieved it after an hour or 2.
        too bad this skepticism doesnt extend to ponzi schemes, email chain letters and the ubiquitous CRA ‘we gonna arrest youse’ scam that has proven to be very successful (else why would they do it?)

    1. Springtime … in LA … and Mexico. Springtime … in LA … and Islamoland. Springtime … in LA … and TDS’yndromes

    2. Why did he leave Israel?

      The awful truth is that no Jew will ever be safe outside Israel, not while globalists committed to Israel’s destruction remain in power in the Gentile world.

      Globalist governments can always be counted to take the side of savages whose ancestors sacrificed children to demons over Jews. The Aztec cult was Satanic. So is globalism.

    1. Reminds me of how shoe factories in the old U.S.S.R. met their insane production quotas.
      They made one style of shoe, one color, one size. They wound up with warehouses full of the shoes that (almost) no one wants.

    2. I seem to recall that the ONE thing you NEVER want to happen with your Tesla is for the battery to COMPLETELY discharge. So? Are these cars all sitting here with de-activated, never-activated batteries? Or are they sitting here slowly leaking voltage until they completely DIE. Or? Do these Teslas have NO BATTERIES at all?

      If these automobiles are not moving out to customers … at a REASONABLE rate … then something is terribly WRONG in Magic Fantasy Golden Unicorn Rainbow Tesla Land.

      1. kenji !!!! jeez man, SHUSH. youre gonna wreck it all. LOL !!!!
        anyways, have a delightful rest of the summer all youse @ SDA, my fav blog. in fact my ONLY blog.

      2. Indeed Kenji, my man!

        With that lot full of Muskwagons, one wonders, what happened to that huge pre-order of those cars by the fanboys that slammed a grand to reserve their 4 wheeled computer? Something ain’t right, maybe, indeed, it’s SHTF time for Tesla.

        It doesn’t make sense, and doesn’t add up to his past statements. Typical.

    1. WalterF….Thank you.
      Just read some information that explains much of what’s been going on. (Whatdoesitmean…)

    2. Walter is +3!
      i thought something like this might happen.
      Trump to press: “Now shut the _uck up!”

        1. Yeah pootin wants Browder cuz he stole money from russia….Lol.
          This story has Kremlin spin all ove it.
          Has a ruskie ever told the truth?

    3. the thing of it is, I have maintained for most of my life, relations between USSR (now Russ Federation) and the ‘other’ US as in ‘A’ have been a special case the entire time post WW II.
      relations between the only 2 superpowers (at the time) CANNOT be compared to the countless exchanges, agreements, etc within and between the rest of the world.

      Trump ‘gets’ it. if your neighbor can be a prick sometimes, better to still lend him the lawnmower at times to maintain CIVILITY. the old machiavellian thing ‘friends close enemies closer’.
      on top of the fact Putin is one clever cookie with immense power doing what they all do, ie looking out for himself and balancing that with looking out for his friends and allies and looking out for the well being of his country.

      so yes, Trump ‘gets’ it.
      the rest is just fine tuning.

  2. Thanks for that earlier pointer to Knowable magazine.

    Here’s a great story about the next great leap forward in plant science: more efficient photosynthesis.
    https://www.knowablemagazine.org/article/sustainability/2017/photosynthesis-fix

    We’ll have to be careful with them, though. Once the technology is mature, anything modified in this way should be able to outcompete any other plants.

    If humanity ends up getting squeezed out by giant tobacco plants, you’ll know what happened.

    1. You are way way behind the times like 30 years if you don’t recognize that scientists have learned how to control the genome of plants far beyond just turning on photosynthesis. They could also very easily makes the plant sterile and unable to reproduce without human assistance. A plant that can’t reproduce is a plant that will shortly go extinct in the wild.

      You also ignore the fact that the ability to produce food for itself is only one of the attributes necessary for a plant to survive, let alone dominate. Most plants that man has improved are unable to survive on their own in the wild. Have you ever seen a wild field of corn growing or wheat?

      In general when you select for one trait when breeding plants you lose control of other traits. Genetic engineering cannot change this fact either.

  3. Bill Blair is the new Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction.
    What’s he going to do?
    a) reduce liberal party crime?
    b) eliminate the carbon tax – the biggest shakedown in Canadian history?
    c) after listening last week to liberals saying their is no border security issues, why would Turdeau appoint a minister for border security?
    d) send out nasty tweets attacking Canadians who disagree with the dear leader

    1. Well its obviously d but the others do apply.
      a) He will the reduce ability of others to call Librano actions of bribery, theft and insider training a crime.
      b) He will eliminate the power of others to disagree with carbon shakedown.
      c) The border security will be to keep law-abiding Canadian citizens and their hard-earned money from leaving Canadastan as it circles the bowel.

      1. Bill Blair won’t be nearly as popular in prison as Justin Trudeau.

        In heaven Rob is laughing his head off.

  4. I couldn’t keep watching the video – you just need to take the bar and then buy all the chocolate bars from him if you’re not so lazy to exchange it. But as mentioned, food is definitely more important than a precious metal to most, in the short term once the shit hits the fan. You’ll need bullets to stay safe and once the initial die-off happens you’ll need more bullets to kill off the cannibals. When only the strong, the prepared and the lucky few are left, you can trade some metal for more important things … like toilet paper.

  5. A prominent Canadian music executive tweeted “Just signed a new band. 2 guys, 2 gals. One is Indian, One is Korean, one is black and one is physically impaired. I call them “The Inclusive 4″. Their music sucks balls – just horrible – but I figure they are a shoo-in to get on the @TheJunoAwards broadcast next year.”

    A snowflake meltdown followed.

  6. Canadians had better wake up soon. The damage being done to this country is not by Donald Trump but by a totally incompetent liberal government. I see pretty boy still has an overall approval rating of 55%. I cannot wait for the next poll after Ontario loses 160,000 jobs due the fumbling of NAFTA by Freeland and Trudeau

  7. In this article we can understand why a carbon tax is a scam.

    Tax expert Mitch Buick puts it nicely when he says “you have to remember that the spirit of a carbon tax is to alter behaviours so that they’re not consuming or burning carbon fuels.”

    But other experts found “the carbon costs associated would represent “a very small share of total income or expenditure.””

    Both can’t be true because if a carbon tax represents a very small share of your total expenditure you will not alter your behaviour and the purpose of a carbon tax is to reduce fossil fuel use. This is pure government hypocrisy in action.

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/carbon-tax-canadians-cost-prices-1.4753664

    Go Doug Ford.

    1. Most politicians say they want the tax to be “neutral”. They carbon tax us then rebate the money in some fashion.
      So its this simple: the left will make carbon more expensive so you change your spending habits, but then the left say they’ll rebate the money so you can still buy gasoline and natural gas. Gee that will work to reduce carbon emissions! NOT

      a) The whole carbon tax – global warming – save the planet scam is just a wealth redistribution scheme.
      b) Notley’s version had wealth redistribution as its aim (no rebates above a certain income) but buried in the latest budget it no rebates above $30 a tonne. So its a new sales tax

    2. Outstanding logic! Obviously lost on the leftists who simply want to PUNISH everything and everybody in the wildly successful US and Canada. Because at the core of all these “sin” taxes … yes … carbon taxes are in the same category as cigarette, soda, and booze taxes. They’re designed to STOP you from “sinning” … against yourself, against Gaia.

      Funny thing that … ME? … a serious Christian … would be FAR LESS interested in PUNISHING you (economically, where it really HURTS) than the Godless Leftists. That I understand your FREE WILL and FREEDOM is the greatest gift from God, and anyone who would use the blunt instrument of economic punishment (read: THEFT) to change your behaviour is PURE EVIL.

      If I want to change your behaviour, I will appeal to your logic, your heart, your goodness. And accept the fact that what I may consider a “sin” and profane you may consider benign. I accept FIRST and foremost, that God has given you FREEDOM.

      1. I notice Turdeau:
        a) is driven around in a big car. Surely bombardier could make him an all electric car (preferably with trolley type conducting rods (ha ha) so we don’t have any pollution from lithium mining
        b) insists on flying around the world on vacation trips spewing out CO2 when the tax payers provide him with a vacation home
        c) flies all over the country to announce $40 to $90 million dollar projects. The announcement could be made by twitter and the requisite photos could be photoshopped.
        d) lives in a 25 room cottage, but gets his food trucked in from 24 Sussex drive
        what a waste

        1. Someone should do a freedom of information on all the money that guy has spent on travel junkets — most of which are primarily for boosting the Liberal brand. Harper did nothing like this, as he was busy running the country.

  8. At long last—a deal to liberalize trade that will actually benefit Canadians!

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/friday-booze-limits-deal-1.4754541

    It seems Yukon was a major holdout. The fear is apparently that cheaper booze will make Chief Big Screen TV go on more binges.

    In other words we never had an alcohol problem that needed solving by making booze much more expensive than it had to be (proceeds going to the Libranos, obviously). We have a drunk Indian problem. Let’s try fixing that.

    1. Good luck with that! “Native Americans” are the Canuck equivalent of Muslims in the US. They stand atop the Preferred Species ladder, and can do WHATEVER they want to anyone standing below.

      1. Sorry to disagree; the Liberals are the top predator and they piss on everyone else. Unfortunately some of their beneficiaries don’t recognize how damaging their policies are to them. Government paternalism is always a scam design to enslave it’s supposed beneficiaries.

    2. I have a great idea that’s just up your alley, why don’t we bring back the pass system for the reserves so that every aboriginal that wants to leave has to have a ‘get off the reserve card’ in order to leave the reserve, (just like the good old days) that would be much better than screaming at them to stay there.

  9. In 2018 adults will take candy from a stranger and then eat it? Surprising actually.
    Didn’t Mom always tell us to never take candy from a stranger?

  10. Can this be true? Trump has invited the russian thug pootin to the White house.
    Jeebus give me strength.

    1. Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.

      If you look at Trump’s actions, rather than the media’s disinformation, Trump is undoing all the accommodations and failures to act by Obama towards the Russians, and is the most anti-Russian president in recent history.

      He has canceled the Iran deal, which Russia vehemently opposed. He has acted to limit the influence of Russia in Syria, killing Russian fighters in the process. He has tried to persuade the Europeans to cut off the money flow to Putin by canceling the Nordstream 2 pipeline that will make Europe the energy vassal of Russia. He has sold weapons to Ukraine to prevent Russia from completing their conquest which was begun under Obama. He has signed new defensive agreements with the European nations threatened by Russia. And he has encouraged US oil production to the maximum, which has financially crippled the Russians and the Petro states of the Middle East. ( and he approved keystone XL).

      Lastly the Russians tried to hack the GOP servers as well as the Democrats, but that is an inconvenient fact and so it’s been completely ignored by the media. Their attempt to intervene in US politics was an attempt to gain information from both the GOP and the Democrats apparently.

      Trump refuses to except the media narrative that somehow the Russians made him president and therefore he is illegitimate. Trump is right to do so; he clearly trounced Hillary Clinton in the election, he flipped many traditional Democrat states by the power of his message and promises. The Russians had nothing to do with that.

      So how, exactly, is Trump accommodating the Russians?

      By the way, you can gather strength by reflecting on what an outstanding President Trump has been for the people of the United States so far. Millions of people are back to work and are more optimistic than they have been in years, and much more goodness is yet to come.

      It looks like he will revise criminal sentencing guidelines shortly and this will be a big boon to people who get caught in the gears of the criminal justice system and receive excessive punishment. Kanye I think recognizes this, and is one reason he wore that MAGA hat.

      1. I’ve never suggested for a second Trump’s presidency hasn’t been good for the US. Nor do I believe his win is a result of Russian meddling.
        What I’m saying is Trump has always appeared as a Russian apologist. His statements for years have been soft on Russia. What does he know that the rest of the world doesn’t know?
        What is known is that Russians are thugs. Sure they wear suits but they are untrustworthy thugs…in suits. They make sure that western interest are not their interests. The ruskie peasant who deep down knows what a pissant he is loves pootin and his strong man image.
        It’s just my opinion but I’ll say it again, Trump looked weak in Helsinki. He’s had the worst week of his presidency. He’s rolling back damn near everything that came out of his mouth at the presser and who knows what he agreed to in the private meetings?
        One thing is certain pootin is a known liar. A not to be trusted enemy of the US and the west. It wasn’t long ago the the Russians were acting like rocket man toward the US. They haven’t changed they have toned it down after ’89.
        I don’t know what kind of relationship Trump might have had with the Russians in his past, but his actions since he’s become president are triggering my spidy senses.

        1. Come on – all that bullshit is fake news. Helsinki went off with the same meaninglessness as every other high level meeting. Meetings are time for friendly dialogue. The suits do the hard bargaining. Russia is no enemy of the US and most of Europe considers them no threat at all.

          1. Scar you mean like the friendly dialogue that took place at the G7? I know the suits do the hard bargaining.

            I guess if Russia is no longer a threat we should rid ourselves of NATO. Weren’t we all just beating bongo up over our commitment to NATO as inadequate? Should we have be cheering?

            Tell the Baltic states the ruskies are friendly or the Ukrainians or anybody on the passenger planes the Russians have shot down. Yeah they’re no threat at all.

        2. “What is known is that Russians are thugs.” Some Russians are thugs and some are not. There are just as many “thugs” in the Ukraine –if not more. I do not believe that Russia is the same monolithic enemy that they were during the cold war. Putin, I believe, is mostly interested in having his own country work, and in that respect I think he is similar to Trump. I did not think Trump looked weak, but I do think that the media and the security agencies put him in an impossible position. They should NEVER have served those indictments two days before a high level meeting. This simply gave the media another opportunity to embarrass him. Of course it was done deliberately. If you paint Russia as the enemy — always a threat — then diplomatic relations simply become an exercise in trying to see who is the stronger nation. That gets us nowhere, and that is why we now have ridiculous stockpiles of nuclear armaments. Treating Russia as a competitor and seeking common ground is best. I believe that Putin is anti-globalist. That is another good reason to try to find common ground with him.

  11. True? Yes, true.

    Democratic HillBilly Clinton invited Mohammed’s murdering buddy, aka anti-semite Yasser Arafat, to bed down at the White House “more than any other international political figure”.

    …-

    “During President Bill Clinton’s two terms in office, Arafat was invited to the White House more than any other international political figure. (Clinton met Arafat a total of 24 times in eight years.)”

    “Yasser Arafat, ‘the stuff of legends’
    A warning for the future”

    http://www.tomgrossmedia.com/ArafatArticles.html

    1. arafart had the chance to be the palestinian people’s John A, their George Washington, their Ataturk, but no, the arrangement did not include sufficient odds of surrounding Israel and wiping them out.
      https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rabin-and-arafat-sign-accord-for-palestinian-self-rule
      so instead he hived off with 100s of millions funneled into various violent terrorist organizations like his own p.l.o.

  12. German police say several people have been injured on a busy bus in an attack in the northern city of Luebeck, and a suspect has been arrested.

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/german-police-several-injured-in-attack-suspect-arrested-1.4021127

    Of course they won’t say who did this or what the motivation for the attack was, but I think we can guess. These types of incidents are common now in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. What has changed? I think we know, but our betters try to hide the truth.

  13. The Government of Saskatchewan and the Provincial Capital Commission has filed legal action against Regina’s police chief Evan Bray, as well as the Justice for our Stolen Children camp.

    https://regina.ctvnews.ca/province-files-lawsuit-against-regina-police-chief-evan-bray-justice-for-our-stolen-children-protesters-1.4020217

    This should be interesting. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the tents to come down any time soon. This case will drag out with appeals until a certain place reverses global warming and freezes over.

    1. Saskatchewan needs provincial police. Alberta has stupid looking cue ball head Alberta Sheriffs that transport prisoners and give out chickenshit traffic tickets. They pack heat and can arrest people without calling real cops. We almost had Alberta Provincial Police but Red Ed Stelmach signed a new long-term RCMP contract and cancelled the Police College at Fort McLeod.

      1. Scar were on the same page here.
        The PC’s never revealed the reason for cancelling the police college and then hastily resigning with the rcmp for another 20 years. What went on?
        It has been suggested that if Alberta had opted out of the rcmp municipal policing contract that the very future of the rcmp would be in doubt.
        Maybe the western premiers should look into forming provincial police forces. Build an up-to-date state of the art centrally located police college to train at. Hell maybe Red should make a magnanimous gesture and front the cost of the building. The other western provinces could share training costs.
        Get rid of the rcmp.

        1. is this the same farce c m p that had a successful $100,000,000 law suit filed against them
          and now another one 10 times bigger?

  14. In regards to the silver bar and Hershey bar video. My wife’s and my family has some well recorded history as to what happens when the sh*t hits the fan. Without writing an essay, there are some main brief points as to what happens over a relatively short time.
    1. The police disappear, killed by the mobs or take off their uniforms and run away.
    2. Recognized normal food and commodity trade of any sort evaporates almost as fast as the police force did. A nest egg of coin of value will enable some black market trade.
    3. Small gangs or mobs, armed and unarmed, begin to rove around looking for food and valuables. The old history of rape and pillage, that they don’t teach any more. If you are armed for defense, they kill you and then do their fun stuff, if not armed, they kill you anyway and then do their fun stuff.
    4. The government has also disappeared, and the new one probably will aggravate the above points.
    5. If you and your family have survived to this point, you begin looking for food in places you never dreamed of. Like sorting out wheat kernels from mouse poop, or trapping mice and rats, or cats and dogs until they disappear.

  15. AGW FAIL.

    Green-Red Blob undergoes traumatizing setbacks. More, please!

    “REPORT: Australians Are Turning Against The Paris Climate Accord” (spencer)

    “Trudeau’s Tough Climate Polices Face a Mounting Backlash

    “GreenON cancellation deadline leaving businesses, consumers in the lurch: [NDP] MPP” (globnews)

  16. Ya gotta think the carbon tax is toast. The premiers are either contemplating it’s future or are outright opposed.
    Quebek looks like it might change government and move to the right. Alberta might have had enough of Red Rachael and bring back the conservatives.
    If either of these things happen support to scrap the carbon tax will be overwhelming. There is no way bongo can force a new tax down taxpayers throats and win an election.

    1. Quebec is really the only province in Canada that could benefit from the carbon tax scam. It generates a lot of hydro electricity (zero carbon in theory). If it could sell more of this green electricity to unsuspecting idiots (e.g. Ontario) this would give the idiots a lower carbon footprint. Once you’re locked in, Quebec raises the rates and you have no alternative (unless you can develop your own green energy). Hydro electricity is cheap and Quebec has a surplus.

  17. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/2018/07/20/did-a-high-ranking-mp-actually-say-that-lisa-raitts-comments-a-departure-from-the-mean.html

    Lisa Raitt compliments the new Trudeau Cabinet. Wtf is with this woman? She’ll dun us for donations constantly,then turn around and make nice words about Liberal Cabinet Ministers and appointees.
    I’ve never had much use for her since she rescued a drunken Liz May at the Press dinner a few years back. Raitt is, like Scheer, more concerned with the well being of tight little community in Ottawa than anything that’s beneficial to the Country.

  18. Words are to actions as one is to 1000. The Democrats pretended they were tough on Russia while they gave away the store on Russia relocating nuclear missiles near European borders, doing nothing to prevent the invasion of Crimea, and allowing Hillary to sell the Russians 20% of the US uranium reserves.

    Remember Reagan said that we should trust the Soviets but verify, and what he was actually doing in the background was destroying the Soviet union through peaceful means and at the same time building the finest armed forces the United States ever had. So which mattered more, the squishy sounding “trust but verify “, or Reagan’s actions that ended the Soviet Union?

    Trump is rhetorically tougher on the Russians then Reagan was, and in the background he’s doing the same strategic steps to defeat them that Reagan did.

    The only thing that Trump will not do is this: Trump is not going to give a left-wing press the headline they wish for, which is :” Trump acknowledges that Russia won him the election.”

    That’s all this is about.

  19. Commie loses court case.

    A U.S. judge threw out New York’s lawsuit seeking to hold five of the world’s biggest oil companies financially responsible for contributing to climate change.

    U.S. District Judge John Keenan dismissed the city’s claims against Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., BP Plc, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and ConocoPhillips, ruling that the federal Clean Air Act controls carbon dioxide emissions and blocks suits such as New York’s. The problem of climate change is for Congress and the Executive Branch to address, he said.

    https://energynow.ca/2018/07/new-yorks-global-warming-suit-against-oil-companies-tossed/?source=de&wtv

    1. Lost their case in California as well:

      June 28, 2018
      Last year, the cities of San Francisco and Oakland sued Chevron Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, and BP Plc for an abatement fund that would help to aid cities affected by flooding allegedly caused by climate change. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted Chevron’s motion to dismiss the suit, however, stating that “the scope of plaintiffs’ theory is breathtaking. It would reach the sale of fossil fuels anywhere in the world, including all past and otherwise lawful sales,” according to a statement released by Chevron.

      This are really just nuisance suits designed to harass and keep “the cause” in the limelight. For example, Eric Schneiderman, the former Attorney General of the state of New York Schneiderman filed over 50 lawsuits opposing Trump’s environmental revisions. “Saying Over and over again, the Trump administration has put the profits of multinational polluters over the health and well-being of everyday Americans”. He was instrumental in encouraging, if not leading, this idea of suing the oil companies. But then look where he ended up:

      On May 7, 2018, Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow reported in The New Yorker that Schneiderman had physically abused at least four women during his tenure as Attorney General. According to the report, Schneiderman had, between about 2013 and 2016, committed acts of violence against four of his romantic partners: the blogger and activist Michelle Manning Barish, the author and actor Tanya Selvaratnam, an unnamed female lawyer, and a fourth woman. The women said that Schneiderman had repeatedly choked, hit or violently slapped them, all without their consent. Mayer and Farrow reported that they confirmed the women’s allegations with photographs of wounds and bruises, as well as with statements from friends in whom the women had confided after the assaults.

      In his initial response to the allegations, Schneiderman said: “‘In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross'”. Three hours after the article was published in The New Yorker, Schneiderman announced his resignation effective the next day. In a statement, he said that he “‘strongly contested'” the allegations, but resigned because they would “‘effectively prevent'” him from performing the duties of his office.

      Democrats just seem to attract this kind of people to their party. And yeah, a New York wealthy lawyer who also happens to be Jewish.

    “Canada to Miss Deadline for Quickly Reselling Trans Mountain Pipeline

    Kinder Morgan agreed to work with government until July 22
    A dozen potential buyers remain for pipeline to Pacific coast”

    “About a dozen parties are interested in the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, but the Canadian government won’t reach a deal to flip it before a marketing deadline with Kinder Morgan Inc. closes Sunday, according to people familiar with the situation.

    The government’s C$4.5 billion ($3.4 billion) purchase of the pipeline and expansion project gave it to July 22 to co-market the pipeline with an eye to selling it to a third party. A quick sale would have effectively allowed the government to substitute in another buyer for the current deal to be finalized.”

  21. A funny thing is going on in Michigan in the primary elections to be held on August 7. By funny, I mean unusual and “ha, ha, ha” as well.

    These are primary elections to determine who will be the Republican candidate and who will be the Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, the actual election being in November.

    With the primary election so close, we are being bombarded with political ads.

    The funny thing is that all of the candidates are focusing on Trump in this lead up. The Republican candidates working hard to show their support for Trump, trying to show that they are a much stronger Trump supporter than the other Republican candidates. The Democrats on the other hand simply state a unanimous opposition and don’t even bother to try to out do their opponents.

    This Trump thing has also spilled over into the primaries for Governor, but not so much on the Republican side. In contrast, ALL of the Democrat candidates make a point of their opposition to Trump …….

    The result being that Donald Trump is dominating the Michigan elections, both state and national. Now that is funny. He lives in everyone’s head.
