  1. Excellent piece by Victor Davis Hanson: “PC Suppression of Public Concerns Fuels the Trump Phenomenon”.

    ”The world that we are told about by our government bears no resemblance to what we see and hear every day..”

    Tesla Model S Owners: You May Want To Double Check That Motor

    The online publication GreenCarReports.com worked with a reliability engineer to analyze data from a survey of Model S owners conducted by electric car advocacy group Plug In America, and discovered that the characteristic life–the age at which 63.2 percent of parts are expected to fail–was around 50,000 miles. That finding reinforces Consumer Reports “worse-than-average overall problem rate.”

    Good thing they come with a warranty.

    just watched Ron Howard’s latest ‘In the Heart of the Sea’.
    what a hard, hard life it was in those days. during the film, Im thinking, migod, how many trillions of man hours did it take to get us to this spoiled life? chemistry, medicine, discovery of electricity, astronomy and all those ‘big questions’, the printing press. that ‘pendulum’ of struggle alternating between triumph and catastrophe and STILL the human spirit pushes forward and forward again.
    and a few learn the lessons, enough of them, to lock in progress to that time and build a foundation for the next batch gifted with a work ethic.
    I wish the idjits running the edjukashun cystem had EMPHASIZED that ‘moby dick’ was inspired by true events. but that would not be acceptable eh? linking the curriculum to ACTUAL HISTORY AND EXPERIENCES.
    I recommend the film. the CGA is outstanding even though of course you know where it is, it’s just that the realism adds so much to the enjoyment. gee whiz, digital technology, ‘nuther one of those advances that make life so full of convenience.

    The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952
    “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of
    any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the
    interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as
    he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens
    as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any
    restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

  5. Nice to see our busy Prime Minister is able to find personal time away from the tough decision making required to run the affairs of state. Doing the Vogue photo shoot with his wife is just what Canada needs most, it proves we really are among the beautiful people.

  6. F.B.I. spokesperson in San Bernardino as they are searching a lake in a park where the two terrorists might have thrown the hard discs of their computer and other things: “As we said from the start we will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this attack”. Meanwhile there is a picture of a Koran sitting on their bed.

  7. So the story continues to unfold, dots still to connect. What is the explanation about the one common link to radicalization, the Koran? Is it down to misinterpretation,we seem to hear so many different opinions from those who practice Islam. I can’t understand why so many practicing Muslims are not fighting this hijacking of their religion, why they are so silent, why millions of them are not denouncing it.

  8. Fueled by evangelical heresy, I expect much more of this hatred. And the police were useless twits.
    “Las Vegas Catholics are disturbed after self-described Muslim-turned-Christian protestors disrupted Masses at several churches in the metropolitan area within the past few weeks.
    In at least three incidents, the group “Koosha Las Vegas” have walked in to churches in the middle of Mass, shouting at Catholics to repent and later posting videos of the protests to their YouTube page. According to their videos, the group consists of street preachers and self-proclaimed “soldiers” for Jesus.”

    I’m convinced that many protestants would cheer the destruction of the Vatican by Islamic hordes.

  9. I’ve been enjoying Scott Adams’ (Dilbert) continuing series on The Donald’s masterful persuasion skills. Here’s his latest on the big “immigration surprise”. He does not endorse Trump (or any other candidate) claiming that he is not smart enough to know who would be the best president.
    The Trump Immigration Surprise – the Trap is Half-Sprung

    But instead of escaping his immigration “problem” for the upcoming general election, he seemingly worsened it by adding some religious intolerance to the mix by suggesting a temporary ban on Muslim immigration. You already thought he was Hitler, and he just handed you confirming evidence. Uh-oh.
    That was the 2D analysis. By the 2D filter, where people use logic and reason to make decisions, Trump is dead and done. The body has decomposed. He can’t win.
    But in the 3D world of emotion, where Trump exclusively plays, he has set the world up for the most clever persuasion you will ever see.
    Do you see it yet? Don’t read on until you spend a few seconds thinking about what he did here because you’ll be mad if I tell you first. It’s right in front of you.

  11. Hmmm, odd there’s so much fighting in Syria…they’re obviously !00% good peaceful people. Well, according to PM Effete La Selfie, 0% rejection rate in latest Syrian refugee influx according to Brian Lilley.

    These loons maxed out their credit cards and refinanced their mortgage in order to bring their relatives to Canada. There is so much wrong with this story. First of all-45 people living in a single family dwelling?? I think the municipality may have a by-law preventing that. And only two bathrooms for 45 people dropping a deuce every day? And what about the cost of food, water, electricity etc?
    These morons have been infected with Trudeauitis.

  13. They don’t have to worry,the guvvermint will bail them out.
    Why is it that whenever the media does a story on cases like this,they never mention how the people who are sponsoring their relatives earn their living.
    Back in the 1990’s when the Family Class of immigrants were flooding into Canada with no vetting,it was discovered that one woman from India,who had only ever worked part time as a fruit picker, was sponsoring her sons to come here to do the same; work for three months then collect EI for the rest of the year.
    It was also discovered that farm owners of the same ethnicity were falsifying work records so that workers without enough weeks of employment could still live off the glorious Canadian dole.
    I’m NOT claiming the Syrians of CBC fame are doing anything of the sort,but I wonder, how DO they make a living good enough that they have a house worth enough to get a $250,000 mortgage on it?

    “Liberal presumptions go up in smog”
    “The prime culprit here is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Two years ago at a “ladies’ night” fundraiser, in one of many flip utterances that might have derailed him against more persuasive opponents in the last election, he expressed “a level of admiration” for the Chinese dictatorship. It would have been bad enough in isolation. But the reason he gave was that “their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say we need to go green, we need to start, you know, investing in solar. There is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about: having a dictatorship where you can do whatever you wanted.”
    It is not obvious that former prime minister Stephen Harper dreamed of having a dictatorship. But it is obvious that Trudeau had no idea how the Chinese economy worked, or didn’t, especially with regard to its horrendous environmental record.”

  15. That’s 43 McCallum will have off his hands as he and the Liberal government fly by the arse of their pants to deal with all the “refugees” they’ve invited in to become permanent citizens.
    Wonder if any thought has been given to how they’re going to learn the language and become self supporting within a reasonable time frame?
    Wonder if they’ve tallied the cost to our already sick health care system prior to adding thousands who may need a lot of health care? In Ontario our doctors are stretched to their limits and many do not have a family doctor as more are leaving or taking early retirement.
    This is possibly going to be the worst immigration mess we’ve ever seen in this country on many fronts.

  18. Too late for all that I’d say. Should have made that speech 25+ years ago. Most people that I know want it to stop now and not pussyfoot around, which is exactly what the current political class will do regardless of any speech. We see the nation as a whole going down the toilet – adding a bunch of 3rd world illiterate counter-culture muslims isn’t the direction we chose. And I say WE meaning who I know. If a “demagogue” has to be put in office to undo the current demagogue – then that’s what I plan on doing. I doubt the senate and house can change many views now no matter what they do.

    “America’s Most Dangerous Demagogue Lives in the White House”
    “here’s a demagogue loose in the land. He uses immigration and the war on terror to drive a wedge into the American populace. He traffics in absurd conspiracy theories about foreign influence, he mocks his political opponents, and he inspires friends and allies to lash out, lawlessly, against them. He compares patriotic Americans to jihadists, and he endangers our national security with his reckless rhetoric. I’m speaking, of course, about the President of the United States.”

  20. Liz, all the publicity that junior is getting needs to be put into the perspective of him calling Harper “disgusting” and accusing Harper of interfering with the immigration process for the purpose of a “photo-op”. The MSM totally ignored the fact that PMSH’s actions were intended to ensure that the selection of potential immigrants included giving priority to people being actively persecuted, for example Christians.
    Also, the group that Junior is attempting to take credit for today is totally privately sponsored whose applications were being processed when Harper was still running the show, months before the election! (And they are mostly Christian!) 🙂
