  1. Apparently, the “lone wolf” attacker in Paris was–wait for it–known to the police, but wasn’t apprehended because he committed no crime. Catch and release in action…..

  2. Except that one of their own got taken out. RIP to the dead officer; serious curses on the “experts” who decided this man was not a threat.

  3. Justin Trudeau gave voters the impression he was turning a page on what he portrayed as the dark and secretive ways of the former Conservative government.
    Sunny ways was all the rage. But Prime Minister Trudeau has not delivered.
    Recent reports reveal he’s treating Parliament as nothing more than a tool to ram through his agenda, opposition support be damned.

  4. RE Trump’s comments on the dairy issue and NAFTA:
    It’s not about what’s right or wrong. Trudie and his propaganda bureau CBC have disrespected Trump from the beginning. CBC is a significant part of Canada’s problems with the US administration. Night after night they denigrate and disrespect Trump. There will be retribution for this disrespectful attitude, and Canadians will suffer and pay for Trudeau’s and CBC’s arrogance. Payback has only just started. Canada is going to learn a hard lesson on what it means to be on America’s un-friend list.
    By 2019 Canadians will be so pissed-off with their dilettante yes-boy that the Lieberals will be dealt a blow that they will hopefully never recover from.

  5. While channel surfing yesterday evening I happened upon the tail end of the French presidential “debate” — a format I think should be adopted for our own election debates, which are usually contests about who can talk the loudest, interrupt most often, thus drowning out one’s opponents. Viewers like me usually end up wanting to throw something at the TV for having wasted time on such useless nonsense.
    The eleven candidates vying for the French presidency were individually interviewed during 15 minutes (scrupulously timed) by two media personalities, one a news anchor and the other a former talk show panelist, who asked the candidates some questions apparently posed to all of them. I say apparently because I did not watch from the very beginning. There were very few interruptions, except when the candidate strayed off the topic of the question posed, but all done very civilly.
    Once the individual interviews were over, all the candidates stood behind individual podiums, chosen at random to deliver a 2:30 minute closing statement.
    I think French electors were well served by that kind of format, with candidates able to explain their position without the constant talk-over & interruptions we’re usually subjected to during our election debates.

  6. “Yesterday, GMV’s (General Motors Venezolana) plant was unexpectedly taken by the public authorities, preventing normal operations. In addition, other assets of the company, such as vehicles, have been illegally taken from its facilities,” GM said in a statement. GM made a promise to “take all legal actions” to receive payment for its facility.

    In Capitalistic language its called stealing.
    In Socialist language its called sharing the wealth.

  7. Since Obama did his big bailout I’ve joked that GM is Government Motors.
    It’s a shame they didn’t have a plan in place to scuttle the plant.

    re: Samantha Bee ‘Full Frontal’
    I am NOT a big fan of ANY currently living politishuns (note the spelling) and few from history.
    You continued bashing of President Donald Trump is
    – akin to pissing on the shoes of everyone who voted for him and/or currently supports his present policies visa vie for instance North Korea, ie roughly HALF of all voters.
    – turning into the same joke over and over and over again.
    Is this wise?

    “Why I decided not to take Kenji to the DC ‘March for Science’”
    “It seemed like a good idea at the time…and people raised about $1100 towards it. I wrote then:
    To do this, Kenji and I will need to fly from California to Washington DC. I’ll fly coach, probably Kenji will fly doggie carrier under the seat, which Southwest airlines allows for a $100 fee each way.
    Also, he’ll need to get a health certificate from the vet to fly. We’ll need to get a dog-friendly hotel for a couple of nights at a minimum, transportation to/from the hotel/event and I’ll need to make a sign to carry, get a custom white lab coatfor Kenji, plus do some training with Kenji to get him acclimated to large crowds.
    Since he is so small, and could easily be stepped on, or kicked on purpose, I’ll likely get a chest carrier for small dogs like this one.
    We’ll have a two-sided sign, one that shows support for science, and on the reverse, a picture of the worst climate monitoring station ever found by the surfacestations project at the University of Arizona with the question “If you measure climate in a parking lot, is it still science?””

    “That Justin Trudeau is a genial and pleasant-tempered man may not be “a truth universally acknowledged,” but that he is as close to that perfect status as any human being is likely to get is not a proposition inviting dissent.
    From Flare to Vogue the oracles agree that our Prime Minister is the very model of a modern Major-General … er, Prime Minister.
    Just last week a grand covey of the rich and gorgeous at the Women in the World Conference pronounced him as “near perfect” as perfect can be (his only deficit “that he is not a woman,” a failing that, properly speaking, is more the mischief of blind Nature, than a flaw of his own devising).”
