    1. Thanks for the update. Really good news. I understand that Meridith Raimondo, VP & Dean, won’t have to pay personally. Too bad.

      1. “I understand that Meridith Raimondo, VP & Dean, won’t have to pay personally.”

        I wouldn’t be too sure of that. As I understand it, the $6.5 million was in addition to the initial award of about $44 million. The board of trustees or whoever handles the Oberlin endowment isn’t going to be too thrilled about that. Plus, this is the sort of thing that can really deter enrolments and future donations.

        So Raimondo might not have to pay outright, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t get her contract renewed at some point and found it hard to get a position elsewhere.

        1. From my experience in the post-secondary system, administrators like her will easily find another gig somewhere.

    1. – Yes but the Baron shot Snoopy down right back. I think he even called him “Schweinhund!” as he did it =D

  1. Body Language: The Squad.
    Very interesting BL in that a case is made as to who the BOSS is of the four. Laura Ingraham is calling them AOC + 3, but watch this and you decide.

    I predict this foursome won’t last. They’ll turn on each other in time.

    1. AOC for sure will be gone because of the 25000 potential job losses in New York when Jeff Bezos changed his mind about opening an “Amazon” branch there. Her proposal of the Green New Deal turned him off.

      If they are all voted out, there’s always the U.N.
      They can go and trash that too!

        1. Saw her interview with FNC yesterday. She looks promising. She was well spoken and stressed how the job- killer AOC was not good for their district. Time will tell.

      1. “They can go and trash [the UN] too!”

        Yes, but how could we tell?

        And why would we care?

    1. Nah. They’re just showing that inherent spark of divinity that Pelosi was blathering about.

    Reminder that in Canada, you can EXPLICITLY PRAISE A COMMUNIST TYRANT AND MURDERER, and the media will never bother you with this.

    They will keep implying that you are an extremist only if you fight for freedom, smaller government and equal rights for all.

  3. Aren’t you proud to be a citizen of a country in which diplomats use building spaghetti and marshmallow structures as training on…. government time?

    Take that, Trump!

    P. S. Nancy:

    You suggested in another post that Prinz Dummkopf should go back to his knitting. This stuff would be better suited to him.

    1. Whoa!
      Were they tripping on a lollapalooza of kashmiri hashish?
      Have they no shame?

      1. Don’t laugh. At the post-secondary institution where I used to teach, the entire staff had to be receive “team-building training”.

        I suffered through that @#$#^# for a few days, but I bailed out before it was over. I never “graduated” and I never got my certificate. I did, however, incur the wrath of certain administrators for daring to question the supposed wisdom of my “betters”.

        My experience during those sessions was Orwell with a Monty Python twist, presented like Sesame Street.

        1. Hahaha hahaha! Good for you. These nonsensical sessions ought to be optional within any organization.

          When one’s principles are compromised and one bails out of an uncomfortable situation, one ought to be respected for that decision.

          Been there. Done that!

          1. My department head ordered me to attend those sessions and it didn’t take me long to see how absurd they were. It wasn’t just that they were stupid or ridiculous, they were insulting t one’s intelligence.

            First, the “facilitators” (or, as I preferred to think of them “far silly taters”) insisted that nobody knew how to work in teams. Second, they, and only they, had the “true” knowledge.

            I worked for 3 summers in an oil refinery and gas plant near where my parents lived. During my second time there, I was with the maintenance crews and what I did was often hazardous and dangerous.

            I could have been severely burned by hydrofluoric acid, so I and the tradesman I worked with, had to make sure that we didn’t come into contact with it but that we properly decontaminated whatever we took in from outside the area.

            We often had to work inside some of the process buildings. The environment was noisy, so we needed hearing protection. In addition, there was always the possibility of hydrogen sulphide being present, so we often wore air masks. (H2S in even low concentrations could be quickly fatal.) There was also the potential danger of combustible vapours.

            With all that, we had to keep track of each other. If one of us got into trouble, the other one might have to get him out, so we needed to know how to get to a building exit. Plus, with all the noise, and wearing air masks, we had to be able to properly communicate with each other.

            The so-called “team-building” crapola was supposed to teach me what I had learned as a summer student in my late teens. Of course, the far silly taters thought that was irrelevant.

            One thing that astonished me is that I was the only one who questioned what was going on. Everyone else followed along like the sheeple they were. Some likely did so because they thought that resistance was useless and there were those who happened to be true believers. If one found a loophole in what was being done, one of the latter would squeal. After all, personal innovation and initiative were punishable offences to them.

            Students often whined why tuition was so expensive. If I explained that some of that money was spent on that malarkey, nobody believed me. None of them had any comprehension that there were people on staff who drew their salaries solely from propagating that hogwash.

          2. @4:35 B A

            Appreciate your comment about what real men do to build team co-operation.

            Astronaut David Saint Jacques spoke about this and described how the men and women in space are prepared to potentially save a life if someone in the crew found themselves in danger out in space. He said that one never knows if one might himself, be the one in trouble. It would be a case of all for one and one for all. David said that besides being an Engineer he was grateful that he was also a Medical Doctor.

            The people who work in the energy field risk their lives to bring us all in the modern world to the standards that we all enjoy today. As you described, they are not ones who are lightweights nor are they faint hearted people. They too must look out for one another in these dangerous jobs that they do. When the trust is established amongst themselves, they become a team.

            There are no silly courses that can teach these lasting bonds. They are bonds that last a lifetime. Similarly, just observe the soldiers who meet again, after a war is ended.

            Most importantly, of course, a fear beers at the end of a long and trying day can go a long way towards building team spirit and long lasting friendships.

            This is what separates the real men from the boys.

            Bravo to the man who takes no bull from these make work people who think they know it all, but don’t. They never offer anything useful towards humanity.

  4. Have you ever checked out Andrew Scheer’s twitter feed? OMFG not one tweet in the replies support him or the CPC!! It was hilarious that he only had 58 replies to his tweets, zero engagement really, and it was even more hilarious that not one of them was supportive.

    I just saw Andrew condemn Trump’s tweet in the strongest terms. That did it for me, he won’t be getting my vote. He’s such a pretender. You know he’s bad when Atlantic Canadians prefer him over Trudeau, there’s your sign.

    Sending Max money and I will be voting for the local candidate in this area:

    1. No I hven’t. I regard him as a waste of cognitive bandwidth. If I want to know what his policies are, I read the Liberal manifesto.,

  5. As i recall it was a young Canadian fellow who would later became a kind of Canadian folk hero as a daring bush pilot (Canada before Trudeau), a guy named Wop May… that was the young pilot that the Red Baron was chasing when Brown came to May’s rescue and shot down the Baron ultimately saving May’s life. Not that Canadian history matters or anything like that, this is a “Post National State” after all.

    1. History, history, what’s that, asks a Canadian from somewhere other than Canada.

      1. I could give every single employed person in Canada a 3.89 % raise tomorrow by removing the sickeningly stupid Employment Insurance.

    1. I followed “The Great War” utube channel as they reported WWI “live” over the last few years. Really, really great stuff.

      Neidel is a character for sure.

  6. In today’s episode of whiny indians suing the taxpayer, the National Post reports on indians having to cross the border in order to enter the rest of Canada. This is systematic racism and a one hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuit has been launched. And today Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau along with Climate Barbie meet EU representatives in Quebec. He then burns jet fuel at taxpayer expense to B.C. to throw money around. And don’t miss the new Ford is Hitler stories at Trudeau’s Toronto Star.

    1. The lawsuit is ridiculous, but so is what they have to go through. Sometimes this is the sort of thing you have to do to get the governments attention. I’m with the whiny indians on this one.

      1. Yup. Posted the link yesterday. The CBSA can eat shyte and go open some shipping containers for a change.

  7. Trudeau’s CBC is being trashed by Trudeau’s Globe and Mail for plans on a series regarding Paul Bernardo. The series is intended to boost the failing ratings of the Fifth Estate. It would go well with its never ending series on the gay guy who killed a bunch of other gay guys in Toronto.

  8. ah, the Red Baron.
    imagine, for a few moments, if Deutchland had been on the side of the allies the whole 20th century, what we could have done to the stalinist communists. and by ‘on our side’ I mean fully on board fighting FOR freedom bla bla bla and NOT trying to wipe out judaism.

    we never friggin learn some of the most basic lessons of history however, as evidenced by the oft repeated
    ‘we jist needs to gets it right dis tiiiiime’

  9. Is he tired and listless? Does sleep at night? Is he lacking in his daily life because his narcissism has run out?

    Well too bad for pretty boy. It’s curtains soon and downhill all the way. Just wait till he hears, “sorry there’s nothing we can do, they’re finished, all your teeth are going to fall out, we know a good place where you can go. No mirrors.”

    Check this out – see how well the Papineau fraud will age:

    https://nationalpost.com/news/world/faceapp-makes-you-look-older-what-else-is-it-doing-with-your-face

    Heh, heh, Heh!

    1. Don’t you know he’s a god, a descendant of Zeus, gracing we mortals with his presence? He’ll never age and he’ll never die.

      (Hey, Dummkopf! If you’re a god, how come you haven’t hurled any lightning bolts?)

        1. Will we get to see ‘it’ on TV now?

          Knowing the vanity of the Dummkopfs (mommy and the Prinz), it’ll become mandatory viewing. (“Maggie! All day, all week, 24/7!”)

    We Didn’t Have The Green Thing Back In Our Day
    OH HELL NO cashier telling older lady she should bring her own bags to be greener and not use plastic
    Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags are not good for the environment.
    The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, “We didn’t have this ‘green thing’ back in my earlier days.”
    The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
    The older lady said that she was right — our generation didn’t have the “green thing” in its day. The older lady went on to explain:
    Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn’t have the “green thing” back in our day.
    Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn’t do the “green thing” back then.
    We walked up the stairs because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
    But she was right. We didn’t have the “green thing” in our day.
    Back then we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
    But that young lady is right; we didn’t have the “green thing” back in our day.
    Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
    But she’s right; we didn’t have the “green thing” back then.
    We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
    But we didn’t have the “green thing” back then.
    Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family’s $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the”green thing.” We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
    But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the “green thing” back then?
    Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person.
    We don’t like being old in the first place, so it doesn’t take much to piss us off… Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smartass who can’t make change without the cash register telling them how much.

    1. I’m often reminded of that in dealing with our intellectual superiors, otherwise known as millennials.

      Several years ago, I used to bring a radio into the gym of my apartment complex and tuned it to CBC to listen to whatever classical music might be on. Since I was usually the only one there early in the morning, I usually could listen to it in peace.

      One day, some teenaged twerps came in and they started messing about to the point that I couldn’t hear it, switching on the TV or some such thing.

      I snarled at them for having been so inconsiderate. One of them barked back something like “that’s why people have MP3 players”, implying that it was my obligation to own and use one so that he and his buddies could do whatever they wanted in complete comfort.

      Uh, no, kid, that’s not how it works. I was there first and common courtesy would have dictated that one ask me first. Evidently, proper manners are considered an anachronism.

      Fortunately, after that incident, I never saw them again.

  11. Here’s who Lindsay Shepherd was arguing against on Twitter… that led to her being banned .. including phone “screen captures” to show some conversations:

    “So at the gym, do girls bare all?” Mr. Yaniv inquired in one exchange. When his conversation partner explained that most women and girls are discreet, Mr. Yaniv pressed, “Do you see t-ts and p—-y, ever?” She patiently responded to each of Mr. Yaniv’s questions as he fired them off: “Do girls openly insert / change their tampons when freely changing?…Have you ever seen a tampon string hanging out of another girl’s thing?…Is it weird to ask a 10-12 year old girl for a pad? Or a tampon?”

    In an exchange with a different person, Mr. Yaniv asked, “If there’s like 30 girls in the change room, how many of them would you say are out there changing freely with their vaginas and t-ts out?”

    He tells yet another girl, “Every single time I take that ferry to the island, there’s field trips with 10-12 year old girls on it. … If I’m in the bathroom and a girl asks me for a pad or tampon and potentially help on how to use it, if it’s her first period, what do I do?”

    1. OK, so they ban natural gas from the buildings. Are any of them aware of how the electricity they want to use is being produced? Oh, I forgot–it’s all from renewable sources, right?

    1. “Manholes”? Have they forgotten the titanic and epic struggles of the early women’s libbers to have them named “personholes”?

      (sarcasm = off) Some people have waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands….

  12. Groper turned his press conference this afternoon with the EU delegation into an election ad. While his drooling worshiping media watched, he trashed the NDP for being suspicious of the trade deal, ranted about the evils of populism, and of course railed against Trump. He then stated to everyone’s disbelief that he was going to run a clean, positive election campaign. Now Great Leader burns jet fuel to BC to meet his adoring fans and throw money around.

  13. Pipeline projects must now consider I, Napoleonism, BLM, and indigenous “science”:

    Aren’t you all proud to be citizens of this (post-national, sharia-compliant, gender-balanced, carbon-neutral, Soros vassal built on stolen indigenous land) country?

    Hey, Kenney? How about getting a move-on with our independence vote?
