  1. This what Wikipedia has to say about the song.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Special_(song)
    I prefer the Creedence Clearwater Revival version. My opinion of course.
    There is a web site dedicated to a Texas law enforcement officer named Bud “Uncle Bud” Russell who was the Texas Prison System “Chief Transfer Agent” for over 40 years. A website that’s been up for at least 12 years. Uncle Bud had hauled over 115,000 prisoners throughout the state of Texas. Only one had ever escaped.. They have his photo, along with his assistant standing beside a circa 1930’s White (White as in White Motor Corp.) truck. Bud Russel had hauled Clyde Barrow to Huntsville after the famous outlaw had escaped from Waco Prison. (If you scroll through the page, you’ll find the story.)
    You’ll also find an interesting reference to the song ”Midnight Special” at the bottom of the page.

  2. But the president repeated that he did not know about his son’s meeting at the time and added that he did not need the Russians to provide damaging information about Mrs. Clinton.
    “There wasn’t much I could say about Hillary Clinton that was worse than what I was already saying,” he said. “Unless somebody said that she shot somebody in the back, there wasn’t much I could add to my repertoire.”
    Lol so easy to love the current POTUS. Give em’ heck Prez Trump!

  3. He forgets that there will always be more old people. Skepticism re global warming is unrelated to what people did or did not learn in university. Most people who believe in global warming do not look at the science at all — they just believe the propaganda because they are naive. Old people are less naive. When the current older generation dies off, and it still ain’t warm, you will have a new generation of skeptics.

  5. Interesting. I imagine prisoners with chains around their necks couldn’t get too far out of line.

  6. Well all this proves is that Abacus has now officially joined the ranks of CNN and the rest. If you form your own opinions based on what these shysters and hucksters report then I have a nice little orange grove of 1000 acres located just north of PA in Saskabush that I’m sure you’d love to own and I’m selling it really cheap.

  7. Bill Nye, it seems, has decided to stand alongside such wonderful, enlightened ideologues as Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao. Ideologues who were so convinced that they were right that people who disagreed with their agenda needed to die so that the young could be shaped and controlled, brought into the bright light of their own personal enlightenment.
    May Bill Nye, and all his ilk, receive the same love and adoration as good ol’ Uncle Benito Mussolini.

    “Indeed, confronting white supremacy in Canada,
    a country that often openly denies its existence,
    does require a fight… White supremacy (wait for it)
    is insidious and covert in Canada.”

  9. Antenor,I’m fully aware that Abacus is in bed with the LPC and always has been,but this article gets loads of attention in the msm and is seen by millions of Canadians who will nod and say,”uhuh,I knew it, most people LIKE Trudeau! He must be doing something right.All the negativism must be CPC propaganda!”
    I regularly post here to reader tips the polls of the Liberal loving pollsters just so we remember what information the rest of Canada is receiving. If we went only by conservative websites,we’d believe that Trudeau is going to lose badly in 2019.
    It’s my way of needling the conservatives to remember the forces that are set against us.
    btw,are there any deer living in the orange grove? I might be interested if there are. Boy,to shoot a big Saskabush white tail while he’s noshing on a giant navel…..

  10. my hunch is as the leftoid clintonesque masses continue to ‘rack up’ ‘victories’ in their ‘gotcha game’ that the Donald will simply slap them down with another well aimed and oddball humour retort.
    one must sympathize with that demographic; they are unaccustomed to thinking for themselves. the great ignorant unwashed who get their marching orders from on high and obey without question. this is why Im actually glad I have a form of autism. I questioned stuff long ago. it has NEVER been popular. it is however, one reason why I am a walking library. an example of that, back in the Trivia Pursuit days, I NEVER lost a match. it got to the point no one would take the challenge.

The massive scale of the cold is of Amazonian proportions, with temperatures well below normal across the entire continent. Bastardi even called the cold “spectacular”. Recently snow was reported to have fallen in Santiago, Chile.”

    TORONTO – Ontario has had the fastest-rising electricity prices and its city dwellers paid some of the highest hydro bills in Canada over the past decade, a new Fraser Institute report found.
    …Ontario electricity prices soared by 71% between 2008-17, while the average growth across the country was 34%, Green said.

  14. When I want to find out how well Liberal and CBC talking points are going over I have a chat with my 80 year old next door neighbor who gets all her information from the CBC.
    The other day she made a mistake and said ‘the terrorists are winning’. Of course that left me an opening and I brought up the Khadar payment.
    She said she hadn’t thought of it that way and stated that she didn’t agree that Khadar should have been sent to that prison in the first place, blah, blah, blah….
    Anyway I smiled and wished her a nice day. What else can you say?

  15. Sorry you took offense at my comment it wasn’t directed at you personally but upon re-reading it I can see that I didn’t make myself clear. I worked for a major newspaper about thirty odd years ago and saw personally how the editorial desk filtered and skewed the news then and have been cognizant of how this has spread into the polling and advertising industries ever since. The joke was directed more so to new readers here rather than the regular commenters.

  16. We can only wish that the people will someday soon wake up and give snake oil peddlers their just deserts for bilking the taxpayers out of trillions that could have been better spent somewhere else like real pollution. The image of Che also come to mind.

  17. “The NHS ghouls are so invested into killing this kid…..”
    Logic and reason are lacking. IF this kid lives even with 24 hour care and on a ventilator for the next 12 months it would be a miracle not seen since the resurrection.
    He is profoundly retarded mentally … brain dead … so damaged physically that he is unable to survive 20 minutes without intensive care provided by modern medicine. Have you no compassion??? LET NATURE TAKE IT’S COURSE. Stop the vivisection and torture. Let the poor thing die with dignity.
    Now he’s become a political football punted by parents who lack real compassion and politicians looking to score points with “prolife” idiots who don’t know their ass from third base. Disgusting.

  18. 1. The experimental therapy is on the table. You like the NHS ghouls do not want to hear about it.
    2. The decision to kill him, cannot, under any circumstances, be made by the state against the wishes of the parents, period.
    3. “Let nature is take it course” is a bullshit argument of convenience. Funny how you mention “prolife’ idiots” in the next sentence, somehow the same argument does not apply to pregnancy when “prolife’ idiots” make it. Hypocrisy much?

  19. Bongo’s choice for Governor General seems to be a good one. Julie Payette a Canadian astronaut is slated to be the new GG.
    Julie’s credentials are impressive but there’ve been a coupla hicups along the way:
    She was a driver involved in a fatal collision with a pedestrian.
    She was investigated for assault while undergoing a divorce.
    Does she sound like Governor General material?
    Just askin’
    Maybe bongo can explain this …. like he did quantum computing?

  20. Some of this reflects inattentiveness on the part of voters. It seems to me that typically people simply reflect the general media spin without giving much thought to political preferences until close to an election when the current issues are highlighted. In general, the media has been soft on Trudeau and the Libs. They are not going after Libs for the Khadr payment, the economy or immigration issues. All of these issues will loom large come election time. By the next election, the CO2 tax will also have become an annoyance. This far out, polls can change on a weekly basis.

  21. Maybe bongo can explain this …. like he did quantum computing?
    He needs only 3 words: “French and female.”
    Since everything he does is to buy votes, why didn’t he choose a recent millionaire?

  22. Selecting any one of Canada’s astronauts for G-G would have been fine, with the possible exception of Marc Garneau for political reasons. Chris Hadfield is already on the $5 bill.
    Julie Payette has the distinction of being CAPCOM for more crewed space missions than anyone else.

  23. It’s like inviting thieves to STEAL your stuff …

    If you park your automobile at a BART station … you will likely find your windows broken, missing property, and maybe even missing a catalytic converter. And guess what !? BART doesn’t care. Why ? Because they TOLD you to ride your bicycle to the station … and leave your old-fashioned automobile at home. So you see, it is YOUR fault that you were jacked ! … don’t blame the lax security at BART stations.
    PS … in a related story … RAPES are UP for BART riders !

  24. Bongo will be in deep shit if Queenie says no. I don’t suspect she will because she has more manners than that.
    Bongo did this on his own – avoided the process. Kinda like khdar. He (bongo) knows best. Payette probably wasn’t vetted. Who’s going to say no to the prime minister?
    Sure Payette is qualified, who isn’t? What else is there in her background that will come to light that will embarrass the Queen and Canadians? The process was circumvented and Payette is wearing it for now but this could all have been avoided if the process had been simply followed.
    The guy is outa control. It’s one stupid thing after another. Betts/Telford had better reign him in – if they can (I suspect they can’t).

  25. Bongo is too kewl, has the Hair-etage, checks off all the “right” boxes (open borders, weed, carbon, Greenie Eco bs, etc).
    BC NDP will fight Kinder Surprise! Bongo goes wacky, we can only hope?

  26. Mohammed is a cannibal.

    “Matthew Fisher: Battle for Mosul could be prelude to wider, deadlier Shia-Sunni conflict”
    “The boast by Baghdad that the brutal half-year urban battle for Mosul had finally been won was a bit premature. Several hundred ISIL fighters are still holed up in the northwest of the flattened city. From there they continue to cause such havoc that U.S.-led air strikes remain a daily feature — the latest in a series of more than 1,100 air strikes.”

  27. Doesn’t this latest goof by our own Goof-ball give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside. It makes you wonder if they can’t even vet a Canadian for one of the prime positions in Canada how did they vet all those refugees,… Well I mean maybe they used the same process, I mean Uncle Ralphie told us they were all vetted, didn’t he and he wouldn’t lie to us would he? I mean he wouldn’t lie to all us dumb Canadians that voted for him and then pay his salary, not to mention his gold-plated pension, no he wouldn’t lie to us!!!!

  28. Thanks for the link Warren. I remember reading that article back then but had forgotten it over time.

  29. It’s a good reminder as he is currently being painted as an innocent in all this.

  30. Thanks for the link. Not a Lilly fan but he makes a very good point.
    Bongo is off the rails. He’s dangerous.

  31. You’re welcome.
