  1. For all you Errol Flynn fans out there, tomorrow (i. e., the 17th), TCM will devote its Summer Under The Stars schedule to a number of his movies.

    Since I can’t watch all of them tomorrow, I started a Flynn mini-festival tonight. Earlier this evening, I watched my copy of Dodge City and I’ve got The Adventures of Robin Hood playing right now. Tomorrow night, I’m planning on another Flynn double feature: Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk.

  2. Thank you Kate. Heart’s performance was spectacular concidering who they performed in front of. A few nerves before taking stage?
    I enjoy those “analysis” or “reaction” videos. A while back I spent hours watching them. Once you start…
    Here’s one that will stir the emotions. A young black man that grew up in the ghetto reacts to Elvis – In The Ghetto.

  3. Some of the best “reacts” videos lately are by nolifeshaq. He’s 25, and been listening to rap his whole life, but decided about a year ago to expand his horizons and explore other music. So, he watched One by Metallica. Mind suitably blown, he’s been reacting to everything from Pink Floyd to Rush to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Country music, and all points in between. He’s hearing all this great music for the first time, and is entertaining as heck.

    – Beto O’Rourke is resetting his campaign! He announced this while blasting dRumpf for committing the recent mass murder in Beto’s hometown of El Paso.
    “There have even been some who have suggested that I stay in Texas and run for Senate,” O’Rourke said. “But that would not be good enough for this community. That would not be good enough for El Paso. That would not be good enough for this country.
    We must take the fight directly to the source of this problem, that person who has caused this pain and placed this country in this moment of peril, and that is Donald Trump.”

    The diversity is wonderful! A Native American and a Mexican American instead of white nationalists. Awesome!! It is difficult to decide which one of them can defeat dRumpf and white nationalism! I will be watching closely!

    1. Dream on.

      Drop your demands for liberal privilege, and allow all the people of America the freedom to choose the life they want to live. It is wrong to try to control people.

      Let the slaves leave your identity politics plantations. It is the only decent thing to do.

      1. “Drop your demands for liberal privilege, and allow all the people of America the freedom to choose the life they want to live.”

        You first.

        “It is wrong to try to control people.”

        Unless you want to deny them immigrants, trade with other countries, the right to take and traffic drugs, prostitution, [insert arbitrary exception here]. You people are laughable.

    2. “A Native American and a Mexican American instead of white nationalists. ”

      Add Rachel Dolezal and you’ve won the trifecta of seriously disturbed people with white asses.

    3. Pat, someone here said that what you do is satire. They were wrong and you are stupid.

      1. Oh, an old white nationalist male is calling someone stupid?!
        Soon you racists will be dead and a progressive utopia will be able to be installed throughout the world!

  6. SNC- Lavalin no longer a story in the media, its business as usual for Trudeau oozing arrogance as he campaigns across the country.

    1. The story has had extensive coverage but here is the way MSN/CBC deflects and minimizes the impact of the story.
      Earlier this AM their story at the top was how Canadians are divided about whether or not Trudeau should resign and not surprisingly they found some die hard Trudeau supporters to appear on camera to give credence to that sort of bs reporting. Disgraceful I think.

    2. Missed a GREAT Opportunity recently.
      Our nations RCMP Musical Ride was in town tuesday. Would have been a real hoot having a SNC sign taken alongside the Red Serge…

      I chuckle just thinking about it.

    Our joke of a ‘justice’ system that moves as slowly as it can so as to ensure that each part of the process gets as much money as possible…might let Alex Minassian’s reason(s) for the attack become known in September. His lawyers object and will appeal.
    Next Year! his “trial” will have no jury, just a judge. But we all know Mr. BlueBalls is guilty and if he’s stated why he committed the act why the trial? Yup, money.

    1. The article strongly implies that this was an attack related to incel, but the wording is ambiguous. Incel motivation has never been confirmed. My recollection is that this was an early excuse put out there by police on the basis of scant evidence, and then neither confirmed nor denied. I guess we will see the truth whenever the documents are released.

      1. As I recollect it was 4chan shitposting the media and they gulped that incel bait down.
        There is no such “disorder”
        As an aside I see “Manlover” when I look at that killers photo.
        I suspect sex with women had nothing to do with his murderous rampage.

  8. Here is a good column by financial writer David Rosneberg about how bad economic prospects look:
    https://business.financialpost.com/investing/investing-pro/david-rosenberg-whats-happening-to-yields-matters-more-than-the-curve-but-the-news-still-isnt-good

    I am a staunch David Rosneberg supporter in the Globe and Mail business pages — where he is slammed by the stock market optimists. If you are into business finance, read the entire column. If you are simply political, read the last two paragraphs. Here Mr. Rosenberg predicts that Donald Trump will lose the election next year — because on the oncoming world recession — and indeed the Republicans will lose both houses in congress. With the far-left Democrats in charge, the world economy is at risk.

    SDA readers can go ahead and flame me, but for the past number of weeks I have been thinking Mr. Trump is going to lose big time. I have a small, retail RRIF portfolio that is very defensive — 20% bond ETFs, 10% cash, and 65% REITs and 5% gold stocks. Monday I am booking a little profit in apartment REITs (which have been a money maker for me and others), and buying some Kirkland Gold shares. My long term plan is to build up a 10% position, at least, in gold stocks.

    Something profoundly bad is happening to our world economy, and it is hard to figure out what. — David Murrell, Economics, UNB at Fredericton

    1. I think it is feasible that Trump could lose (though he continues to attract big crowds.) What I have difficulty envisioning is anyone from that current crop of Democat losers actually winning.

    2. “Something profoundly bad is happening to our world economy, and it is hard to figure out what.”

      It really isn’t: the US is led by an imbecile who doesn’t understand how trade works and is damaging the world economy with tariffs and dollar weakness. It doesn’t help that the leadership of other nations pose as pro-trade while increasing tariffs. On top of this is a massive amount of debt from government and private sources. Too much government debt will slow growth. So does a lot of government spending on its own, even without debt or deficits. USG spending continues massive increases.

      Pray for President Biden. He’s our only likely hope.

      1. I think that “President Biden” and “hope” is an oxymoron. Rather, Biden’s election would signal that there really is no hope — and perhaps that is true.

      2. Yes and UnMe appears to believe that China plays be the rules.

        But in the UnMe world there appear to be no rules.

        1. The only rule that’s needed is respect for the right to trade between two consenting parties.

    3. Hi David. Rosenberg does not predict that Trump will lose. Read the article again. He is sending a cautionary note that far-left Democrats are no friend of business, so don’t expect them to rescue an economy in recession IF they are elected.

      Rosenberg is a “perma-bear” who is always calling for a recession. It’s an easy call in a long-lasting bull market. It will be his I-told-you-so moment. But he has no idea – just like the rest of us. As Rosenberg (another others) is quick to say …

      “The thing is about the yield curve, and maybe it’s just pure luck, but every recession in the post-Second World War era was preceded by an inversion.”

      But what they never add is that an inverted yield curve is not always followed by a recession. This makes it much less a predictor than they claim.

      In other words a person who defaults on their mortgage does not necessarily lose their home, but someone who lost their home (to the bank) almost certainly defaulted on their mortgage. Very different forms of correlation.

      Getting back to Rosenberg (who I enjoy listening to, but never believing in entirety) he once joked that people call him a “perma-bear”. He doesn’t think he is. He’s just always calling for a recession. From that joke he went on to explain why a recession was coming. This was last year.

      Relax and buy gold. Currently it is at record prices when valued in CAD.

      1. I am a strong Trump supporter, but as a Canadian cannot vote for him (my sister and her husband live in Pennsylvania, and are both Republican field organizers for Trump). I support Trump on all the big issues. Trump is especially good on the culture wars — wars that conservatives have been losing for a long time.

        When I say that there is something wrong with the world economy, I am stressing that (a ) total debt is skyrocketing, and that (b) there a large percentage of government bonds, worldwide, yielding less than 0 percent. In Europe, this is particularly bad. As I said above, I am at a loss to explain the implications of this, but it must be bad. Trump did not create bonds yielding less than 0 percent, but in a world economic meltdown he will be blamed, and he and the Republicans will lose the election next year.

        This coming Monday I am buying shares of Kirkland Lake Gold and Franco-Nevada Gold, bringing my gold position to 8 percent of my small investment portfolio.

        1. “Trump is especially good on the culture wars — wars that conservatives have been losing for a long time.”

          LOL. This right here perfectly distillates why you lose and will continue to lose the ‘culture wars’. To say you will lose is too generous. You aren’t even a real opposition.

          1. Still cheering for Hilary?

            None of us know who is running in the next US election, let alone who will win.

        2. Good for you buying gold stocks. But those are relatively large companies.

          Stepping out into gold and silver juniors is higher risk but potentially much higher return. They are still very, very cheap and have really not moved in the first leg of the precious metals rally which seems to be underway.

  9. Here is a good column by a middle-of-the-road Globe business writer, about how bad economic conditions are in Alberta, given the war on Western Canadian energy:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/inside-the-market/article-the-exodus-of-investors-in-the-oil-patch-is-only-gaining-steam/

    Following my post above, my small retail portfolio is completely out of Western Canada energy. The forces against oil and gas — Gerald Butts, the forthcoming Liberal-Green-NDP government, the billionaire U.S. foundations, the Toronto-based media cartel — have won the battle against Canada s oil and gas.One reason, by the way, our economy is in trouble.

    1. I’ve owned shares in Akita Drilling for close to 20 years and I’ve never seen its price as low as it is now, even though it’s long had a clean balance sheet. Most of its rigs are busy in the U. S. thanks to Ottawa’s war on Alberta.

      As I’ve said here many times, it has nothing to do with the environment but everything to do with the fact that Ottawa/Quebec does not recognize Alberta as a legitimate province in Confederation and never will until we capitulate to its dictatorship. The war on us out here started with PET nearly 50 years ago and Prinz Dummkopf aims to finish it.

      Hey, Kenney–how’s that Rupertsland referendum coming?

    2. I have Calgary oil & gas companies. I’ve been hammered. Waiting until October…

  10. It looks like the world economy is starting to melt down right now. That means the pain here on the prairies is just beginning. It will be worse than the Dirty 30’s my grandfather used to always tell me about. Buy gold and blankets – it gets awfully cold here in the winter.

  11. Not buying into the “recession, recession” Chicken Littles here.

    Go crawl into a cave or hide in the jungle if you think the world is coming to an end. Recession? No. 1% growth rates? Yes. This is all part of the China game.

    1. A part of losing it. The only way to win is not to play.

      Between the price of gold popping hard enough to throw a manhole cover and domestic investment dipping, recession seems pretty likely. The fed wouldn’t cut rates if it felt all was hunky-dory. Orange Retard has f*cked the dog, and in all likelihood his chances of re-election, barring a hard 180 and some miracles.

    2. I’m not buying into the recession, recession either. The world economy is slowing down. It will speed up. The big recession will start in 2023 and there will be no escape from the long and unrelenting change due to demographics (10-15 bear market).

      Trump will probably win in 2020. But even he will sail into a very big storm. And when the far-left Democrats finally get into power in 2024 the cupboards will be bare. Finally a Republican beating the Democrats at their own game (over-spending). Get ready for 8 years of “it was all Trump’s fault”.

      1. “Finally a Republican beating the Democrats at their own game (over-spending). ”

        Actually it’s a Democrat running as a Republican giving the game away to Democrats. You don’t win by becoming the enemy. Lord you people are stupid.

        1. In a game where being in power is winning, I would say Trump is winning…if that makes me stupid…I’ll be stupid all day.

        2. At some point in time you’re going to speak face to face with that same disrespect to the right person and then none of us will wonder why your ignorant posts have disappeared.

          1. I’ve seen enough of you people to know what to expect. Either a mullet, a beer gut, or a walker. Maybe some combination of two of these. I’m not strong but I can take on the guy with the walker or the beer gut. I can run from mullet guy and keep running after his cardio burst peters out.

  12. “It’s not just the cost of the tariffs that are hurting the economy. “The indirect costs are enormous,” says one Wisconsin CEO.”

    “”We’ve gotta make a several-million-dollar investment, with some uncertainty on it, and take our management time and our bandwidth to go work on this instead of working on new stuff,” Shekoski says. “We’re not making the investments for our future right now, because we’re making the investment just to stabilize something—just to stop the hemorrhaging. That’s impacting our long-term growth.”

    That sort of reallocation of limited resources seems to be happening across the board. The uncertainty created by the escalating trade war with China has both large and small businesses cutting back on investments that might otherwise be driving economic growth. Domestic investment dipped into negative territory during the second quarter of 2019, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data,”

  13. Canada has an ILLEGAL gun problem

    A handgun ban won’t do anything to address gun violence in Canada. Even the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police acknowledges this.

    Leftist politicians would rather virtue-signal and go after law-abiding gun owners than actually addressing the real problem – the influx of ILLEGAL guns into Canada.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FQVRIpM02Ns

    1. No it doesn’t. Guns don’t kill people. Gun has a drug and gun prohibition problem. The black markets spawned by these are the engines of violence we see today.

      1. So in UnMe’s world would it be ok for me to have:
        – a machine gun?
        – a tank with a 120 mm gun?
        – tons of high explosives?

        1. I’m alright with that. You can rent a
          van as well. Just don’t kill anyone with it, numbnuts.

  14. Should Canada Pass Legislation BANNING Religious Influence In Government?

    Yes, of course. Would this not put at ease the minds of millions of Canadians watching in horror as Justin Trudeau permits elements of Sharia Law to gain a foothold in society?

    Islamophobia! they cry.

    Canada’s educational industry being what it is– shot-through with Liberal-Globalist pretensions, permit the integration of Islam into Canada’s public school system. Peel School District in the greater GTA is a prime mover in this regard.

    Why? Is this not an example of religious “privilege” being bestowed upon a specific community? How then can the Liberal Snowflake brigade justify such a thing?

    Answer: They don’t–they just go ahead and do it. In CAP’s world, this is called “hypocrisy.” For Canadian Council Of Muslims–a tax payer funded , not-for-profit organization, this is referred to as “equality” and multiculturalism.

    Canada has changed. Decades of mass Third World immigration and government-enforced multicultural policy has trans-formed our founding nations communities to outlier communities. This is in no way overt–globalists operate in-the-shadows, quietly massaging our society away from Canadian identity and traditional values, and over to a globalist ethos dominated by Third World forces.

  15. Comeuppance
    Doug Noland

    It’s been a full decade of government and central bank backstops, with the “Trump put” a relatively late addition. It sure appears the Trump, central bank and Beijing “puts” have lost some potency. And in about a month we’ll have a better read on the “Fed put.” It’s a reasonable bet the stock market will go into the September 18th FOMC meeting with a gun to its head: “50 bps or we’ll shoot!”

    Much can happen in a month – especially at the current mercurial clip of developments. But the Fed will be in a really tough spot. Don’t give the market 50 bps and ultra-dovish commentary and risk getting hit with a heated market tantrum. Give markets what they demand and risk a “sell the news” response and a critical change in market sentiment. It has the feel that a decade of egregious monetary inflation and speculative Bubbles is about to get some Comeuppance.

  16. Has the Freedom of Religion been Destroyed in France?

    In France, the Catholic Assumption Day, or Assomption in France, is the day in Roman Catholic tradition when Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, was taken bodily up into heaven. It is celebrated on August 15th each year and is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics in France. It is also a public holiday with banks and most businesses closed.

    From France, a reader has sent this in. The Marian Procession, as it is known, was surrounded by the army, not police. Many emails have come in about this and it is not being reported in mainstream media. Many are being left with the feeling that a once Catholic country has been reduced to the point that Catholics now require military protection to worship.

    This is indeed becoming very disturbing and the sentiment is rising in France where we may indeed see a revolution in the making.

  18. Le Devoir. Q

    The most brutal of realities can join the most delirious fiction.

    QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy movement born two years ago on the Web, accuses corrupt elites of the American left (Hollywood stars and Democratic politicians intertwined) to be involved in a vast international pedophile network. The death of financier Jeffrey Epstein last Saturday in a Manhattan jail obviously overheated the nebula of conspiracy and the world of QAnon in particular. The hashtag #EpsteinMurder quickly became viral this week.

    It must be said that the network of schoolchildren that Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted him has provided hundreds of victims for decades. It must be said that on the eve of the suicide of the infamous prisoner, bulky court records made public by order of the court confirmed the strength of his contacts with the upper high class world. It is about trips or meetings between Mr. Epstein, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and even Prince Andrew, son of Queen Elizabeth II.
     
    Donald Trump himself relayed a tweet saying that former President Bill Clinton “had information”. Implying that he had to do with the death of the awkward personage in one of the safest prisons in the country.

    Even commentators with irreproachable reputation have confessed that the coincidence remains very disturbing. “If we lived in a world of paranoid fantasy, I would be very suspicious of Epstein’s suicide, and even whether it was really a suicide,” tweeted New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Nobel of Economics 2008. And to add: “And you know what? The case Jeffrey Epstein shows that we live in a kind of universe of paranoid fantasy. ”

    World Vision

    Do not mix everything, or even tips. Basically, once again, conspiracy deliriums and “paranoid fantasies” are especially telling about the world view of conspiracy and paranoia.

    “I really can not say if there is anything in these theories. But it is indeed striking to see the number of people who think there is or could be something, “says Professor Michael Butter, talking about the surprising plotters’ temptation among some analysts who are known for their seriousness. . Dr. Butter teaches American Studies at the University of Tübingen in Germany. He co-directs the international network of comparative analyzes of conspiracy theories in Europe (conspiracytheories.eu).

    Besides, basically, honestly, who has not thought a little plot at least a bit thinking about this suicide in prison? The theory of the monumental gaffe seems, however, the simplest and the most just. The information that has been delivered for a week is about sleeping guards who did not watch the defendant, even if they had to do it every thirty minutes. In addition, the Manhattan facility was understaffed and the guards on duty were working overtime the night of the death. It would be as stupid and banal as that.

     I really can not say if there is anything in these theories. But it’s striking how many people think there might be something

    – Michael Butter
     
    Professor Butter adds that there is apparent resurgence in this troubling willingness of ground-breaking analysts to let themselves be tempted at least by rumors. As if indeed there was eel under rock. As if indeed the powerful were hiding things from us.

    “We saw this before with Russiagate, where some of the liberal media seemed really disappointed that there was no conclusive evidence for a plot between the Trump campaign and a foreign power,” says Butter. It seems that, in the increasingly polarized climate of American politics, even those who are generally unlikely to believe conspiracy theories are attracted to them as long as these theories confirm their suspicions and aversions for their political opponents. ”

    An explanatory narrative

    Another connoisseur of conspiracy narrative mechanics, the Belgian Loïc Nicola, asks to distinguish the “human drama” and the “narrative narrative” that some people like to produce and to tackle this drama, from the scattered elements they have or believe dispose.

    “The narrative (produced in the vagueness and uncertainty of the event) tries to artificially bring into coherence a certain number of facts (real or supposed); to make sense of them by pretending that these facts were necessarily linked to each other in a profound way, writes Le Devoir the doctor in argumentation and coauthor of the essay The rhetoric of the conspiracy. We realize then that the goal is much less to seek the truth of the human tragedy (and to render justice to the victims) than to confirm what, from the beginning, does (in the eyes of some) no doubt, namely : the complicity (based on the essence and necessity) of men of power and the power of money around pedophile mores. It is here, of course, that conspiratorial logic sets in motion. ”

    In this case, by the way, it combines various elements (the rape of teenage girls, the billionaire friend of the powerful, the shady death …) that stimulate the interpretative machine seeking explanations.

    The conclusion seems unstoppable: Epstein’s suicide is a lure, an imposture, a deception. “For the proponents of the conspiracy, the facts confirm the evidence of the pedophile network; to confirm the collusion of the powers of money and men of power; to confirm the villainy of the Jews and the corruption of their morals, says Loic Nicola. There is, for fans of conspiracy narratives, only to look at the facts, lucidly, without blinkers, without filters, because the facts speak for themselves … But, precisely, a fact does not speak. On the contrary, it is a place of interpretation and speech. ”

    A new world ?

    This place has always existed and rumors like conspiracy theories have stained societies for centuries and centuries. Only, our digitized age provides other means of dissemination to this rhetoric of conspiracy.

    “In short, the Internet is facilitating the faster emergence of conspiracy theories and making their circulation much easier,” says Professor Michael Butter. [The Internet] has also, to a certain extent, led to the tendency to replace fully developed conspiracy theories with rumors of conspiracy. But in this case, Epstein’s death is usually simply added to long-standing conspiracy theories (about Clinton or Trump). This modularization is also typical and began long before the rise of the Web. ”

    Loïc Nicola also nuances the particularity of the conspiracy in the era of the Web. “In fact, social media are mostly a” chamber of echo “, they are sounding box, they come amplify a discourse and explanatory material that already exists. They do not create the discourse, they ensure its visibility, its commerciality, its fluidity, he writes to Le Devoir. Moreover, it is clear that the interest of social media is focused on words (stories, speeches, explanations) easy and sensational, cognitively affordable in a single gesture, proposing a dichotomous vision of the world. ”

    He also notes that basically many traditional media work in exactly the same way. “Therefore, do not believe that social media has radically changed the situation,” he concludes. Our time is not fundamentally different from the previous one, far from it.

          If Toronto Community Housing would like to rid itself of its gun and gangs problem, it need look no further than their parking lots.

          The subsidized housing facility is packed with luxury high-end vehicles — Mercedes and BMWs worth upwards of $70,000 — and they all have authorized TCH parking permits in a community where the average household income is $18,000.

          It’s not news to residents that undesirables in the community have pimped-out rides with questionable means by which they were purchased.

          “There needs to be more of a crack down,” said Joe, not his real name, whose mother is a member of a group of Somali women who recently reached out to the Toronto Police Service Board to offer help to quash the violence.

      2. Unlike you and Jim Fairy, I’ve had it away with a woman a few times. I’m just old enough to understand that it’s rarely worth the cost.

  22. Lost Within The Rate Cut: The Fed’s Drive To Establish A New Payment System

    If central banks manage to utilise fintech successfully, it will give them a clear path to begin the gradual implementation of central bank issued digital currencies. Back in April I published an article (BIS General Manager Outlines Vision for Central Bank Digital Currencies) that looked into the subject of CBDC’s more deeply.

  23. Watching the documentary “Woodstock: Three Days of Peace & Music” this evening, while sending some songs your way. Thanks to Nold, I have the list of artists and songs. Also, thank you to
    B A Rupertsman, I saw the CNN documentary about a revisit to the actual spot where the Festival took place 50 years ago this very weekend. It was interesting.

    The best thing about it is to know that the very spot is preserved as a field and to this day, 50 years later, it has not been developed. It’s been replanted and is a green hill where there is a small museum.
    Nice.

    1. I visited the site several years ago, and found that they had regular outdoor concerts on a smaller scale; the fans sat where the stage used to be. It was a Tuesday, nothing special, but the parking lot was jammed with vehicles doing tailgate cooking in preparation for the night’s performance by Styx and Yes. The exit of the museum featured a floor-to-ceiling glass window etched with the lyrics to Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock”. It was fun telling the woman polishing the glass that I grew up in the same city as Joni did.

  24. Oh, right, and UnMe is such an expert on global trade and money management that I hear the ECB, PBoC, BoE and the Fed are all booking his schedule non-stop so he can teach them about ghe financial implications of the next trade deal.

    So how is it that the US is inking free trade deals with Japan, Australia, the EU, and soon to be non-EU Britian, while the Chicoms are systematically getting frozen out?

    UnMe weren’t you also assuring us a while back that Trump was going down after Mueller was done his investigation?) .

    Once the lid was blown off the FBI-DNC,-NYTimes collusion scandal, the press shut the fuck up right quick about Russia. Now they’ve moved on the “recession!” for the GOP Never-Trumpers, and “Racist!” from the Leftist nut-buggerers.
