    1. I’ve no tears left.
      Shed then for Irish.
      Shed them for Scots.
      Shed them for Congolese
      Shed them for Jews.
      Shed them for ethnic Germans in Soviet occupied lands.
      Etc.ETc. Etc.
      Groups of people suffered most horrid brutalities imaginable and picked up the pieces and rebuilt their lives. Thus is the history of the world.

      And yet the Indians get adversarial and want others, victims themselves who had nothing to do with the dealings of the state, to feel shame and guilt and pay and pay and pay.

      The Indians can help themselves by ending their victim hood narrative.
      They can start by taking some responsibility for what goes on in their own communities.
      That means stop being apologists for their Colten Boushies.

    Huge number of fans ride to event.

    This week, Berners-Lee will launch, Inrupt, a startup that he has been building, in stealth mode, for the past nine months. Backed by Glasswing Ventures, its mission is to turbocharge a broader movement afoot, among developers around the world, to decentralize the web and take back power from the forces that have profited from centralizing it. In other words, it’s game on for Facebook, Google, Amazon.

    “We have to do it now,” Berners-Lee said of the newly launched project. “It’s a historical moment.” He identified the main impetus behind his recent announcement that he’ll be going on sabbatical from his research professor post at MIT to work full-time on the project as the recent revelation that Facebook allowed political operatives to gain access to some 50 million users’ private data.

    At MIT Berners-Lee has for years led a team on designing and building a decentralized web platform called ‘Solid’ — which will underlie the Inrupt platform. The Inrupt venture will serve as users’ first access to the new Solid decentralized web:
    If all goes as planned, Inrupt will be to Solid what Netscape once was for many first-time users of the web: an easy way in. And like with Netscape, Berners-Lee hopes Inrupt will be just the first of many companies to emerge from Solid.

    “I have been imagining this for a very long time,” says Berners-Lee.

    As described on the Solid and Inrupt websites the new platform will allow users to have complete control over their information ‘pods’ (an acronym for “personal online data store”) — it is only they who will decide whether outside apps and sites will be granted access to it, and to what extent.
    Unlike Facebook or Twitter where all user information ultimately resides in centralized data centers and servers under control of the companies, applications on Inrupt will compete for users based on the services they can offer, and only the users can grant these apps “views” into their data, making personal data instantly portable between similar applications.

    “The main enhancement is that the web becomes a collaborative read-write space, passing control from owners of a server, to the users of that system. The Solid specification provides this functionality,” the Solid website says.

  6. Listened to Bongino post Kavanaugh.
    He says Kavanaugh is a GAME CHANGER. Old rules are OUT. New rules are IN.
    The cultural Marxists’ strategy is to push the envelope ever more.
    The left levels accusations and decent people on the right appease, apologize and refrain from offending sensibilities.
    And the breath and the vileness of the attacks by the left just keeps mounting.
    New rules: we don’t hold back. We won’t be made to feel guilt. We don’t apologize.
    We call it straight , no holds barred..
    The objective is not to convince the cultural Marxists. There’s no convincing them.
    The strategy is to win over the hearts and minds of the by-standers.
    The objective is to win political power.

  8. Sooooo….. NAFTA is now USMCA (media is verbalizing this as two abbreviations, 1st. US, then MCA).

    Not to brag (much) but I predicted an agreement would be reached. I said that the pressure within Canada was too great for it not to happen…. though little covered in Canada media. Of course there was pressure in the U.S. as well. This was well covered by the ‘never Trump’ crowd. In short, money talks bullshit walks.

    I don’t know any details. I expect that no one got exactly what they wanted. So it goes with negotiations. I am glad as I think a North American trade zone is a good thing for everyone.

    1. “…glad as I think a North American trade zone is a good thing for everyone.”

      You are right, as long as all parties believe they are getting a deal worth having. Donald Trump said when campaigning he didn’t think NAFTA was worth it to the U.S.A. No later than as soon as became he became President (preparing before that would have been better) the Canadian government should have been working a lot harder on fixing it. Instead they wasted a lot of time on alienating him to show they are morally superior. It has cost Canadians a lot of money, just as indulging the Liberals’ self-regard always does.

  10. In effect, it looks like Hillary Clinton is effectively in joint control of what we have been calling the deep state.

    Why did she even bother running for president?

  17. Quebec Grits take it on the chin in provincial election today. Plus another bonus: PQ in danger of losing party status.

    A giant majority, 72 seats so far (9 ahead of majority), with eight to come, so they will likely exceed 75 (60% of seats).

    Liberals lose (ON), lose (NB), lose (QC). CBC held on to bitter end, with CAQ majority already assured, before acquiescing.

    Will this trifecta of Liberal losses, along with a major victory upcoming for Conservatives in AB, can fed loss be far behind?

    If only Scheer were more conservative, then we could truly hope for a CPC victory (sarcasm off).

    1. The “Réseau des indépendantistes” is consoling itself with victories by the bitter-ender sovereigntists, anti-capitalists, militant perverts and anti-Semites of Québec solidaire. The slums of Montreal’s east end, once the stronghold of the PQ, are now in the hands of the Solidaires.

      The PQ is dead, thank God. That doesn’t mean the French Canadians have accepted the result of the battle of the Plains of Abraham or are suddenly going to allow parents to send their children to English-language schools or allow pious Montreal Jews to worship the God of Israel freely. They still hate the English and the Jews, and always will.
