  1. Robert, you can throw in a gee whiz as well. Logic and critical thinking has left the building.

    1. HAHA I actually thought “golly-gosh, gee whiz” but thought it was over the top 🙂

  2. I think we can conclude that bad behaviour is contagious. Same as stupidity. And we have seen an excess of both recently.

  3. I swear to God people are getting stupider by the day, especially journos and “experts”

      1. Good point Denis. I cut my cable TV a few years ago. iHeart radio is full on fake news.
        I support independent journalism. And I can think critically.

    1. Yes and they are doing so by choice. How can l be even stupider today than yesterday seems to be the overall goal.

    2. Incorrect.

      Reason and logic are defenses.
      They want you defenseless.

      Incoherence is a weapon being used to disarm you.

  4. OMFG. “Expert” pay must be enormous for them to humiliate themselves publicly, and constantly. A certifiable idiot could figure this out. Children could not be this stupid.

    1. Never equate that the expertise of the experts cited has any relation to the issue.

      Examples
      Citing Hollywood celebrities on political issues
      Citing Elizabeth May on climate science
      Citing Justin Trudeau on ethics
      Citing Bill Clinton on fidelity
      Citing David Frum on anything regarding conservatives
      Citing anyone at CBC about honest news reporting.

  5. The news outlets seldom identify any of their “experts”. Somehow I think they wouldn’t have as much influence once it was known who they are. From “everyone is an expert” to “anyone is an expert” just don’t mention a name.

    1. The “journalists” hand pick the “experts” to get the narrative they want.

  6. I’ll say it again: Liberals cannot comprehend the concept of cause and effect.
    If they could they would not be liberals.

    1. I think you underestimate them. They absolutely understand “cause and effect”.

      Their entire raison d’etre, so to speak, is having “solutions” for which they must identify “problems”.

      Even, or especially, if they have to create such problems in the first place.

      Socialism, like its current religio-philosophical bed-mate, is a DEATH CULT.

  7. When I was young growing up in the U.S., there were two large press wire services: the Associated Press and the United Press International. Both wrote decently objective news copy way back then in the 1950s and 1960s, and competing newspapers in any given city would use one or the other. But in the last decades the UPI went into decline, and now serves only a few readers, mostly overseas. Now the AP has has a virtual monopoly, and has gone completely woke-PC, as in this poorly-written article. And the AP is running full-scale war against Donald Trump

    1. The Toronto Star makes the Washington Post and NYT look unbiased and even handed with Trump compared to the Liberal Party Newsletter drivel they publish daily.

      They also own 1/3 of Canadian Press, which explains a lot.

  8. Let me translate that citation for you from woke to English.

    Experts say the spike in violence contradicts their easy explanation.

  9. There may be more, but an Englishmans perspective:
    People in Seattle (and like minded places) have observed how their elected officials have acted regarding BLM and Covid and think:
    1. “Gee, good job, I’ll vote Dem this November”.
    2. “Gee, these guys are nutjobs, I’ll vote DJT this November”.
    3. “I’m leaving”.

  10. To be a liberal, you must have a genetic deformity in the brain. Or, be dropped on your head at birth.
    One of the replies in Twatter was a typical liberal response; “there would be no crime if you just handed everything over”.
    “Experts say the ability to survive day to day and be that stupid defies explanation.”

  11. “The surge in violence defies logic”

    No it doesn’t. The people in charge of cities that burned encouraged it and wouldn’t let the police crack the skulls of communist meth heads and feral gangs from the hood. I am betting that police, knowing no-one has their back are responding to violence in the inner cities in slow motion. They are coming to squeegee up the results without becoming involved.

  12. Once the police are replaced by young social workers fresh out of college, things I’m sure will be much better. And more basketball courts, we need more basketball courts.

    1. Don’t forget more sympathetic courts. The judicial system is definitely not sympathetic enough.

    1. james said “It’s not that they’re stupid, it’s that they think we are.”

      But to be honest why wouldn’t they think that we are that stupid?
      The majority of Canadians are.
      They watch the news and believe it all. They have no ability to reason for themselves.
      What percentage of voters thought green/ndp/liberal was a good idea?
      How many believe this shut down of the economy will save more lives (due to Covid) then it takes ?
      How many believe man made climate change is significant?
      How many believe gun control actually about reducing gun crime let alone actually achieve that aim?

      The average Canadian is blissfully unaware and get angry should you disagree with their opinion on any of the above.

  13. Long as it’s LIB cities & states. Fine with me.

    The only way to learn the hard facts of life. Is to be mugged.

    1. In David Dinkins New York that was the definition of a liberal. “Somebody who hasn’t been mugged yet”

  14. The “experts” do know – they just won’t admit it as to do so is not “woke.” They are cowards and liars. At some point, If you keep your head in the sand, you will get bit in the a…s. That can’t happen soon enough.

  15. Big city cops are no longer policing, they are keeping score, sweeping up the glass and doing the paperwork. Let the dead bury their dead.

  16. Democrats politicians at all levels are playing a game of chicken with American’s lives.
    They want Donald Trump to send the military into their cities so that they can howl about him being a dictator who used the military.
    And they want a white person to snap and kill a bunch of people while defending themself so they can howl about racism even more.

    Last week the Democrats sacrificed two black children who were shot and killed and they sacrificed two white women, one killed, the other in critical condition after being hit by the ‘luxury car’.
    They didn’t get the reaction that they wanted so they will escalate even further.
    Who will the Democrats sacrifice next week?

  17. …but the silver lining in all of this is that every murderous day adds another 10,000 Trump votes in November.

  18. The term “Experts” is thrown around far too easily these days and is just used to restrict or hopefully eliminate other opinions. I quit listening to experts after the war in Kuwait.

  19. As long as it’s Democrat governed big cities who cares. Keep it out of my neighborhood for a few more years and it’s all good.

    1. And if Biden gets in…

      More and more Democrat cities will enjoy blackouts and brownouts from Biden’s green new deal.

      Heck Nancy Pelosi’s ice cream might melt.

  20. Wouldn’t have anything to do with letting all the criminals out of jail would it? And maybe also having no bail requirements, let alone the catch and release policy? Puzzling for the experts…

  21. But the narrative,must protect the narrative.
    Of course they have no idea why more people might be getting murdered,they shamelessly promote BURN LOOT MURDER as an intimidation tactic,then pretend to not understand the consequences.
    I am ready,as a volunteer,to offer pure and natural skydiving experience to all who enable the mob and work for the collapse of our civilization.

    Demon Worshipping Morons otherwise known as our progressive comrades are openly promoting human sacrifices,why would we not be amused when their turn comes?
    As the cities experience what they voted and promoted,I can only cheer from the backwoods.
    The logical consequences have been too long coming.
    But after the normal systems fail,then reality rolls in.
    Think of these failed,bankrupt Liberal run shitholes as Educational Tools.
    As they burn,Liberal Voters Learn.

    Some people are so thick that they have to set themselves on fire,before they will stop playing with fire.

  22. In case you didn’t know – x is an unknown quantity and a spert is a drip under pressure.

  23. For a real laff riot , I’d love to see BLM go on a nice walk through Chicago on a nice hot weekend, hilarity will ensue . There would be bodies everywhere .

  24. Experts are self appointed as such after being educated beyond their intellectual abilities. Best I can come up with given prevailing evidence.

  25. Old one:

    Expert; etymology –

    “Ex” – an unknown quantity.

    “Spert / spurt” – a drip under pressure.

  26. Going through the channels last night and came upon a program called 48 Hours. It’s about police investigating murders. Every murder investigated was a black person. Most of the officers were black along with some of the detectives. One murdered woman epitomized the 72% of black single mothers. She had 5 children and her murderer sired 2 of them. It showed how scary it would be to be a police officer or just a citizen in the crime ridden American cities.

    We see that up here now with blacks just opening fire not caring in the least who is hit by their bullets. How can any BLM watch this and continue with their mantra of Black Lives Matter when it is obvious they don’t.

  27. It is dumb to quote anything newspapers say BECAUSE NO ONE BUYS PAPERS ANYMORE! Circulation is a fraction of what it once was and is in absolute freefall.

    Another newsprint mill closed this week in Ponderay, WA and this follows on Catalyst closing several newsprint mills in BC in June.

    I expect Postmedia to idle all printed media newspapers any time now. They have run out of cash and even Trudeau bailout money is not enough to keep them going.

    So why quote anything in the dead tree press? You are giving them relevance that the public has already discarded.

  28. The leadership of the ANTIFA & BLM are WHITE Plantation managers.. They target the Black area’s and LOOT & burn all Business in those black communities… To say they target stupid token blacks is an understatement. I guess they get rid of the garbage & punish the stupid who follow the Drugs & crumbs

    The Communist states (Democrat) want Federal money to rebuild what they helped destroy… MN is asking to be declared a Federal/National disaster to get MONEY…. NY & NJ will be next…..Trump won’t get re-elected if he caves to these slime… Let them eat their own shit….

    JMHO
