  1. Jay Inslee, the Democratic Governor of Washington has put out a fantastic 15 second clip of him fighting and DEFEATING Climate Change! We should all be doing what Governor Inslee is doing, except the reichwingers refuse to give up their trucks, fridges and dishwashers, and live in environmentally friendly mud huts! 🙁

    This guy is great…for a white male.

    1. The comments to his tweet do not seem too supportive. Lol! What a dipstick. And a goof like him is governor? My, my, what are they smoking in WA?

      1. The negative responses are from Russians who helped dRumpf cheat his way to victory over Hillary Clinton!

      2. But the great eco-state of Washington voted down a carbon tax.

        Until all Greens, NDP, Liberals, and Democrats all decide to stop flying, stop driving and take public transit everywhere, I will not consider dealing with climate change.

        Even if I were to consider it, I would ask the same question as PO’d in Alberta (at 4:25 AM).

        But after all that my answer would be I want a warmer planet!

    2. BS from a dirty politician. Where does the electricity come form? How did it get into his batteries? My ohm my, his scooter is not made of wood. If he wants to see dirty energy, look at pohotos of big cities in 1880. Horse manure everywhere.

    3. Jay Inslee says he wants to get rid of coal in 10 years? Why so long? Sounds like he’s just another Democrat corporatist sell out, who is only in it for the Benjamins!

    1. Who is that white scientifically challenged moron? I’ve never seen him on CBC, CTV or Global. He is a Climate Denier!

      1. I’m asking anti CO2 types like you, what level of CO2 do you think is optimum, 200 ppm, 250 ppm, 400 ppm or 1200 ppm?

        Tell me, what level of CO2 concentration are you willing to allow CO2 levels to be? It obviously isn’t 400 ppm as that is where we are right now. At 1200 ppm (green houses growing vegetables) you think that’s dangerous.

        So, what would suit your fancy for a “level” of CO2 concentration and discuss why.

        1. I’m still waiting for an answer. Tell us, what level of CO2 meets your standards of acceptable? Discuss why.

          1. I think you need to learn to recognize satire. Just saying.

        2. I have been yelling about this for a long time now. If only these idiots were the first to suffer from their idiocy. I don’t know why we allow these stupid people any say in our society.

        3. Progressive Pat posts satire, not to be taken so seriously, and makes fun of progressive duplicity. Humour meet sense.

  2. nz police visit a guy on sunday.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invited the P.M. of New Zealand to boast about her government’s reaction to the Christchurch shooting, and then announce his government will take Canada down a similar road to… (perdition ? totalitarianism ? Cult. Marxist Utopia ?)

    At the upcoming conference, will a M.B. front group (operatives) join with the Trudeau Liberals as his favourite identity group ally; in his quest to render Canada, as the first post nation-state ?

    1. This video is pathetic. What are the police hiding? The fellow making the video asks at the end of the clip, “What is New Zealand coming too?”.

      I would suggest to him that the national police forces of Canada and other western countries are fast becoming agents of the progressive Marxist governments and political police enforcing an agenda.

      Witness High River, Alberta. At one time I called them my friends, had range competitions with them, and had them in our mess for camaraderie.

  3. followup on sunday police visit video- interview with N.Z. Free Speech Coalition leader.

    plunket, bradbury & grant discuss police visits.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-27atFaEvFc
    – visits from police policing thought crime becoming the new normal in New Zealand.
    Serving the partisan political agenda of the current government? A government refuses to respond to public concerns about a rapid radical shift towards totalitarianism, this in violation of N.Z. ‘s Common-Law/Magna Carta heritage.

  4. “Since the Christchurch mosque attack I’ve had two visits from armed police for my political views.”
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=261&v=kte2wQiF5zU
    ————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    L- Armed Police visits, 2nd visit with 15 officers closing off the street, asking him if he is a Trump supporter,
    if he has a minority friends, … not enforcing the law but the Marixist ideology of the current P.M. of New Zealand. Is making the police an arm of the Cult. Marxist party in power, is that Canada’s future under a 2nd term of a Justin Trudeau “Liberal” government ? (okay, a rhetorical question)

    1. So NZ is just like Canada? Another formerly great country sacrificed at the altar of political correctness and multiculturalism?

      1. I would revise that and say the country has been sacrificed at the alter of stupidity.

  5. Pegg Lipton of “the Mod Squad” has died. RIP. I was a student radical way back when in the late 1960s, our ragged SDS chapter made sure we did not schedule our dreary business meetings to conflict with the Mod Squad show.

    1. A finer group of morons, led by other, Commie ( and violent criminal! ) morons never existed. I imagine you scheduled around the Monkees, too?

      So, you were down with the Weather Underground?

      1. Don’t mess with the Monkees. They’re too busy singin’ to put anybody down.

      2. Nope. Our SDS chapter was at a small, obscure Catholic university, where absolutely nothing was done. All talk, no action. But you are on firmer ground saying that SDS members were morons.

        Btw, in the conservative movement, too, there is often a lot of talkers, with few doers.

    2. She faded into obscurity after TMS went off the air, but, early a generation later, she was on Twin Peaks.

    1. Just a quick update on the Ramadan death toll, 775 dead, 408, maimed and or injured.

      1. Gee, those numbers seem low. Are you sure they’re not just from #ShitholePakistan for one day?

  6. A tax loop-hole known as “dark store theory” is eroding the tax base of small towns that paid for new infrastructure for big-box stores like Walmart. Once in town these big-box stores relentlessly appeal their municipal tax assessments to lower their tax bill – the same money that was budgeted to pay for the infrastructure that attracted them in the first place.

    Dark store theory is the use of vacant and often boarded up buildings formerly used by businesses that have since gone out-of-business. The big-box stores still in business want their assessed property value to be based on the going market price which is largely the value of the vacant buildings. They bring in external tax consultants who work on contingency fees. The small towns can’t afford the legal fees and often end up settling for lower taxes. The whole process is repeated the following year.

    https://getpocket.com/explore/item/after-the-retail-apocalypse-prepare-for-the-property-tax-meltdown?utm_source=pocket-newtab

    Somehow I get the feeling that the towns are trying to screw the big-box retailers and that the big-box retailers have a bigger screw (better tax lawyers) – unbeknownst to the small town mayors and property assessors. Either way the local tax payer will be the one to ultimately bend over and cover the shortfall.

    1. That might explain why the old Heritage Mall in Edmonton eventually died.

      When it opened nearly 40 years ago, Woolco was one of the anchor stores. Walmart bought the chain and operated that outlet for about half a decade. Then, it opened a big box store a few km east in South Edmonton Common. The former Woolco was then closed and stayed that way.

      Customers were quite inconvenienced by that and, in the following years, the other anchor stores slowly abandoned Heritage. First Eatons took over the abandoned Woodward’s in Southgate, which was to the north. After Eatons went belly up, the last Heritage anchor store, Sears, left and took over the former Woodward’s/Eatons space.

      After that, Heritage died a death of a thousand cuts. Few businesses were interested in locating there and the owners didn’t know what to do with the facility, which was quite a nice building, by the way. Eventually, Heritage was closed and torn down.

      Thanks for nothing, Walmart.

      By the way, Heritage is mentioned on the website:

    1. Thing was, unlike the journalists, former miners were happy to learn a new trade, and actually thrilled at the chance to learn to code, not realizing that Silicon Valley only hires Indians and Chinese to do the grunt work.

      Poor whites are only considered ideal as cannon fodder in wars to maintain Chinese access to Saudi oil, and most of the miners were past the age where they would be any use on the battlefield. Everything else can be outsourced.

      1. if you read the article you will note that most of the people who attempted to “learn to code” were not described as miners but rather a student who dropped out of school, a Family Dollar Store assistant manager and her mother, a dishwasher at Cracker Barrel, a bank teller and so on. On the first day a large crowd showed up but were told they would not be paid the $10.00 per hour as promised. Most (probably a lot of former miners) promptly left.

        The only miner mentioned was the brother of the woman running the company (scam) who was an instructor – and who probably did not know how to code, which the article hints at.

        I write code (partially for a living). Hard to imagine I could graduate from dish washer (or journalist) to code-warrior in 16 weeks of self-directed Internet-searched training. Even harder still to imagine I could teach anyone how to code in 16 weeks.

        Most of the “college courses” are garbage unless its welding (taught by a welder), plumbing (taught by a plumber), car repair (taught by a mechanic) or electrical (taught by an electrician). Now if this lady was teaching people how to scam (scams taught by a scammer) then she would be legit.

  7. Great Leader Kim Sung Groper has found another country to piss off. He will be busy entertaining the leader of Croatia. Perhaps he can get his mother to do a show for him. He will also be spending time with game show host Alec Trebek. Nice to see our glorious leader spend his time on important things. Should make for some great election photos.

    Yes, what DOES happen to crypto currencies in a world with no coal plants, no nuclear plants, no hydro dams; only solar power and wind power. Best case? 30% of the world has 30% of the power it needs 30% of the time.

    Have fun with your bit coin farming, suckers. We are approaching the time when the only truly precious metals, will be lead, and brass. Back to bartering with a bushel of grain, for a hide or two or three.

    At least with paper money, in the end, it can still help light a fire.

    1. You misunderstand: with bitcoin, everything will be free! And electricity can be made from water.

      Bitcoin is another scam sold to low information marks as a miracle cure for every financial woe. The bitcoiners also fall short – way short – in the critical thinking department.

    RIP Doris Day 1922-2019

    She was one of the best. A great singer, dancer and actress. She had great chemistry with everyone. I expect the TCM and Silver Screen Cable channels will be featuring many of her best movies soon.

    I can still hear her charming laughter in my mind’s ear.

    1. Like in the movie, The man who knew too much. She was, in real life an admirable person, and worthy of the wholesome image she cultivated on the screen.

    2. Doris Day was an orginal. She had a great career.

      I saw her being interviewed once and she was asked about performing in Vegas. She said she preferred the Vegas of the mafia years rather than corporate Vegas. Whe pressed on why that might be she replied, “yes people were killed by the mob but only ones who deserved it.”

      Classic DD. She had a moral compass and never embarrassed herself.

    1. (Before i clicked into your link I thought, ‘What NOT AGAIN’).
      This article is from November 2018.
      As bad as it was at the time, at least it is not something set to happen again.

      Or is It?

      1. Does This deserves its own thread?

        Oh my God, what fresh hell is this? On Mother’s Day, Mayor
        @JohnTory
        put cash in the thong of a young boy, and put his hands on the guy as he rode him. He should resign. What an abhorrent role modle for the children of Toronto and Canada. #toronto #cdnpoli

  10. Abortion Was the Leading Cause of Death Worldwide in 2018, Killing 42 Million People

    https://www.lifenews.com/2018/12/31/abortion-was-the-leading-cause-of-death-worldwide-in-2018-killing-42-million-people/?

    Globally, just under a quarter of all pregnancies (23 percent) were ended by abortion in 2018, and for every 33 live births, ten infants were aborted.

    Worldometers estimates about 59 million deaths world-wide in 2018, but that number does not include unborn babies’ abortion deaths. Unborn babies are not recognized as human beings even though biology indicates that they are unique, living human beings from the moment of conception and they die brutal, violent deaths in abortions.

  11. Sounds like Slow Joe has learned something from the Canadian Liberal Party. He must of been okayed by Mo Strong.

    Schweizer connects the dots, writing that “without the aid of subpoena power, here’s what we know:”

    Hunter Biden and his partners created several LLCs involved in multibillion-dollar private equity deals with Chinese government-owned entities.
    The primary operation was Rosemont Seneca Partners – an investment firm founded in 2009 and controlled by Hunter Biden, John Kerry’s stepson Chris Heinz, and Heniz’s longtime associate Devon Archer. The trio began making deals “through a series of overlapping entities” under Rosemont.
    In less than a year, Hunter Biden and Archer met with top Chinese officials in China, and partnered with the Thornton Group – a Massachusetts-based consultancy headed by James Bulger – son of famed mob hitman James “Whitey” Bulger.
    According to the Thornton Group’s Chinese-language website, Chinese executives “extended their warm welcome” to the “Thornton Group, with its US partner Rosemont Seneca chairman Hunter Biden (second son of the now Vice President Joe Biden.”
    Officially, the China meets were to “explore the possibility of commercial cooperation and opportunity,” however details of the meeting were not published to the English-language version of the website.
    “The timing of this meeting was also notable. It occurred just hours before Hunter Biden’s father, the vice president, met with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit,” according to Schweizer.
    Perhaps most damning in terms of timing and optics, just twelve days after Hunter and Joe Biden flew on Air Force Two to Beijing, Hunter’s company signed a “historic deal with the Bank of China,” described by Schweizer as “the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.” To accommodate the deal, the Bank of China created a unique type of investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, Rosemont Seneca Partners is a founding partner. ”

    1. CC yah beat me too it, imagine the unmitigated gall to run for President and be mixed up in bald faced criminality like that as VP. And now Adam Schiff is saying that Trump just damn well better not make an issue out of this thievery on the campaign trail in 2020.
      If they have this kind of open in your face thievery imagine what we don’t see. Now I am not slagging the Americans, Canada still holds the record for thievery. When every single PM that came out of Quebec was bought and paid for and made into millionaires by Powercorp,
      I do not think we are in any position to look down our noses at our Brothers and Sisters in the USA. But for decency sake never again do I want to hear “I AM CANADIAN” no your not your a damn INMATE and you are being farmed on the TAX FARM. The Gulag called Canada. And PDQ you will be gagged and disarmed as well. When the RCMP come to disarm you, you will kneel and tug your forelock like the Serf you are, our Ancestor’s would at least fight for their Liberty even if they went down.

      1. Who the heck is Adam Schiff to tell Trump what he may or may not do on the campaign trail. Any honest person would want that type of corruption revealed.

  12. Jussie Smollett’s “Empire” TV show has been permanent.y cancelled by FOX. One small victory in the culture wars.

  13. Fox News Alert:

    AG Barr assigns US attorney John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.

    1. Going to be Constipated Coniption fits amongst the Demoncrats tomorrow. Much foaming an frothing at the mouth like snake bit cats.
