Might This One Key Fact Unlock Leftist Minds?

Is it possible, in 2026, that folks on the Left STILL don’t understand the dangers of Suicidal Empathy?

Haven’t the recent disturbing videos from France woken them up to the realities of the world?! Does the average Leftist not understand that individually caring about others and expressing empathy is generally a good thing, but basing public policy on the same principles is consistently a recipe for disaster?!

Might this simple reality readjustment be the key to releasing Leftists from their Stuck-On-Stupid mindset? Let the healing begin!

Embrace Hollywood!

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore

Despite its critical praise, Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary about the world’s richest man is ending its theatrical run after just two weeks, according to entertainment news site Showbiz411.

Upon its release on Oct. 9th, Musk was shown in just four theatres in two cities nationwide, but that number rose to over 450 by the second (and ultimately final) week of its theatrical run, though the total take, according to Gizmodo, was a paltry $571,902, making it “an unmitigated flop.”

BC Election Watch Thread (Bumped)

Adam Pankratz: “We do not do this because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy.”

David Eby called an election two years early because he thought he had an easy cakewalk to a large or even super majority. The most recent polls suggest it may well be Eby who has handed his opposition — the B.C. Conservative party led by Lorne Doerksen — a large or even super majority. If Eby loses, it will undoubtedly go down as one of the biggest self-inflicted political blunders this country has ever seen.

It’s an open thread, use it wisely.

Robert here: With the polls closing at 8pm PDT, I trust Kate won’t mind me moving this thread to the top.

Stephen Taylor has a results map.

From Kate: Juno News has live coverage.

Update: this shitkicking of the NDP is bad news for Carney.

Well, that was fast: Eby has resigned.

Personal Rant

I’ve noticed on X.com, and elsewhere, an increasing number of accounts which post the stupidest of takes on the situation in Canada, ignoring all facts – current or past – and focused entirely on emotion. They all seem to have some common themes:

  • Mark Carney is a great PM who is trying his best for the country.
  • You’re unpatriotic, and likely a traitor, if you disagree with the Liberal Party of Canada.
  • If you disagree with any of the Elbows Up narrative then you’re a northern MAGA fascist.
  • Either shut up and join The Program™ or get the hell out of the country.
  • No one outside of Canada is allowed to comment on what’s going on inside of Canada.
  • If you disagree with The Current Narrative™ then you must be a bot.

I simply can’t take any of this B.S. any longer, so I just immediately block these low-IQ morons. But this begs the question: Are these real people or just bots?

Have you experienced anything similar?

The Coming Insurrection

Glenn Reynolds:

Via DataRepublican, we have learned that a group of Democratic governors, retired military and intelligence officers, and former USAID “color revolution” specialists, have for some time been plotting to pull off a color revolution in the United States. Or, to put it more precisely, they have been conspiring to overthrow the constitutionally elected government of the United States, and to replace the Constitution with something completely different. […]

It’s in this thread. Click through and scroll down.

There’s a lot of data, including videos, recordings, transcripts of Signal chats, etc., but the gist is this: If the Democrats take the House and Senate (and maybe if they don’t), various leftist groups will stage violent protests, intended to press Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act and sending in troops. Once he does, Democratic governors in blue states will denounce his acts as illegal (whether they are or not) and mount resistance on various levels. The goal is to destabilize things enough that they can seize power and replace the Constitution.

This isn’t some fever dream, it’s right there in the extensive files that DataRepublican has provided. Here’s an article by Chuck DeVore in The Federalist.

[…]

That this stuff is out is probably the biggest deterrent to it happening. Many of the people in Data Republican’s records are probably under surveillance now, and possibly already named in sealed indictments. There’s also a “watch what you wish for because you might get it” angle to this: The Insurrection Act is powerful medicine and while it might play badly politically, the President’s powers under it are immense, and many Presidential powers — including deciding in the first instance which of two state governments is recognized as legitimate — are not subject to judicial review.

@DataRepublican – This is how you know my recordings are real and they’re scared. Washington Post already doing counter-messaging.

The Democratic Party’s America:    Victor Davis Hanson – Another Verdun.    No Jack Kennedy.    Matt Walsh.    Suing Dearborn.    Call to murder.    Progressives.

Carnival Carney’s Canada:    Grants to Liberal donors??    Where did the money go?    Chowtown.    Two dictators meet.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s Bought And Paid For Media:    In living colour.    Slavery reparations.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not…. Er… What?

The ground under 935 Pennsylvania Avenue just shook.

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.

The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.

Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.

Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.

Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.

The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.

Have the Tories Finally Become Based?

Update: A German MEP better understands what’s going on in Canada than all Elbows Up sheeple combined! h/t ‘GRM’
