Reader Tips 100 Comments

On yesterday’s Reader Tips, SDA regular ‘Colonialista’ referenced this scene from Live and Die in L.A. (1985) as a great car chase. No disagreement from yours truly but this scene from Ronin (1998) is a strong contender. And, of course, there’s this classic from Bullitt (1968).

Got a car chase link? Got some news to share? We’d appreciate all of it!

    1. Yup. That one is almost as good as the one in Bullitt and far better than the one in The French Connection.

      1. Ronin and Bullit….honorary mention, the Italian job.
        Loved everyone of those Movies…and the 5th element was simply great entertainment…and pretty funny to boot.!!

  2. “This is a tale of two organizations whose mission is to fight for people’s rights and freedoms. One is conservative; the other “progressive.”

    When a right-wing leader of a civil rights group goes rogue and does something stupid… he is excommunicated and cancelled almost immediately.

    When a progressive-left leader of a civil rights group goes rogue and does something stupid… absolutely nothing happens to her.

    “John Carpay’s egregious behaviour in court… could be viewed as an attempt to obstruct justice. That same day, Carpay was gone on “an indefinite leave of absence.” On the Justice Centre’s website, there are statements by both Carpay and the centre’s directors. Both agree that Carpay acted on his own.”

    “(BCCLA) president David Fai tweeted that the directors supported Harsha Walia’s right to free expression and were confident that she didn’t really mean what she said. That’s it. With Fai’s tweet from his personal account, the board seems to have absolved itself of any responsibility, ignoring at least three former presidents who have called for Walia’s resignation, resigned their memberships or urged a defunding of the organization.”

    2. I heard there are restaurants in Edmonton that are enforcing the mask rule. Earl’s was mentioned.

      Vote with your feet. Get up and walk out.

  4. While the Corussant Chase scene in Attack of the Clones is good, is derivative of the great Luc Besson’s Chase from the Fifth Element (spoiler, the fifth element isn’t Boron, it’s love).

    “I only speak two languages, English and bad English.”. As a Westerner I can relate.

  6. The deadly heat wave of July 1936 in the middle of arguably the hottest decade on record for the US.

    “Many of the all-time high temperature records that were set in the 1930’s in numerous cities and states still stand today. Perhaps the hottest day ever recorded in the US took place on July 14th in 1936 when the average maximum temperature was 96°F and 70% of the US was over 90 degrees.

    1. Listen bigot I’m pretty sure that when it’s got in the summer it’s because of global warming.

    2. PHP2 Hey Just accept your Guilt and Pay The State Carbon Tax Indulgences, for sinning by using fossil fuel. Just like in the Dark Ages.
      Carbon Indulgences Taxes will fix GloBullShit Warming…
      Trudeau said so, and so have all the Magnificent Leaders of all the other Uniparties in the National Penal Colony of Canada.

      1. Watcher – I want some of my tax money back. It’s been Smokey in Alberta due to BC fires. I think Albertans should file a class action lawsuit against the BC government for reduced enjoyment of our short summer because of pollution caused by their inability to keep their fires under control. Maybe $5B for those Albertans and Saskatchewan residents willing to participate. Sounds reasonable? They are also releasing CO2 that we gave them to help their trees grow. Where is the carbon tax for that?

        1. When I left Fort St. John on Wednesday, the smoke was thick enough that I could barely look across the Peace River valley.

          Now that I’m back in Edmonton, visibility is less than 10 km. That’s the distance to West Edmonton Mall and I can’t see it this orning.

          2. Visibility is now down to less than 2 km here in Edmonton.

    1. I think that may have been Spielberg’s first movie, and far better than much of the garbage he turned out near the end

      Didn’t need much of a budget to shoot this but it had you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie

    2. Possibly true but what they don’t tell you is that by then most people will be so impoverished that they couldn’t buy a car of any kind, even if they were permitted to.

    3. That’s true– that they are destroying everything that we associate with the male gender. I had not previously thought of it that way. You could even say another example of cultural genocide. It’s colossally destructive. I weep for Canada.

      1. During one of my trips to my house in B. C., I chatted with my next-door neighbour across the fence in the back yard. During our conversation, someone drove by on a motorcycle on the street.

        She complained about the noise but I suggested that it sounded like a Harley and that it was a manly sound.

        She rolled her eyes in response.

        Speaking of motorbikes, I’ve seen a lot of them on the road this year during my trips to and from the house. Most of them looked like Harleys.

      2. You can’t destroy people if there are men ready to do violence on peoples’ behalf. Hence Librano policy re: cars, guns, dogs, self defense, property rights etc. They are manufacturing dependence to finally castrate the white middle class, which historically has been the only force capable to creating prosperity and preventing tyranny at the same time.

  12. Firstly, I’ve been browsing Small Dead Animals for a while now. You have all got a great thing going here.

    Secondly, a few months ago, some of us broke off from OmegaCanada and formed FreeCanada (https://freecanada.win/ ). Please feel free to check us out (no email required).

    Our forum is free speech oriented, similar in topics as you guys have here at SDA, and we have a great community vibe. The format is sort of a hybrid of what you would see here at SDA, and, a Reddit-like/Patriots-like forum.

    An FAQ is here: https://freecanada.win/threads/1090/ , or, I can answer any questions.

    (I’ve asked Kate permission beforehand prior to posting this here).

  15. What It Will Take For Australia To Reach Net Zero by 2050. This is what Idiots vote for this is what Idiot Politicians Promise and demand.
    The numbers show the INSANITY. No wonder they want to dumb the shit out of math. So that not only can future generations not do any critical thinking But they will not be able to do math. Canada is double Plus Extra screwed, we have fucking retards runnin the joint. We have fucking retards voting for them. None of the crooked corrupted political system be fixed by voting. The economy is trashed beyond repair by the system and the voting brain stems, and slimy politicians.
    Break It Up throw it out completely and start from scratch.

  16. Some very good VAERS data discussion here:

    https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/covid-vaccine-adverse-event-reporting-how-vaers-veers-david/

    “But what about major adverse events, including any and all outcomes that result in a visit to a health professional- and of course including all that result in hospitalization or death? These, inevitably, will be massively over-reported during a national vaccination campaign.

    Why? First, because as noted, reporting by health professionals is mandated by law. And, specifically, adverse events, including death, in a fairly open interval following vaccination must be reported, even if not thought to be due to the vaccine.

    Second, in any national vaccination campaign, with millions or tens of millions or even hundreds of millions being vaccinated- bad things will inevitably happen to many of us. Why? Because, sadly, bad things happen to some percentage of us, vaccine or no vaccine, every day, week, month, and year.”

    1. More:

      “Even if a vaccine actually caused not a single death, VAERS would be loaded up with reports of death that occurred following vaccination, from a variety of causes. VAERS is designed to be inclusive, not exclusive; to be sensitive, not specific. VAERS is designed to welcome false positives, to avoid the dangers of false negatives. VAERS is highly prone to mix together actual “cause and effect” with “true, true, and entirely unrelated.” These are, simply, facts of the system, there by design.”

      1. And yet, the numbers of deaths after receiving a vaccination of any kind were flat for over a decade, and only started spiking when this gene therapy posing as a vaccine came along. That’s one of the things that you continually miss, it’s not that things are miraculously being miscounted now, it’s that many many more people are dying immediately after “vaccination” than had happened before.

        Speaking of things that you show no ability to understand, have you figured out the difference between a recount and an audit yet? The Maricopa county board might be wishing that they hadn’t just seen the difference. And they haven’t even released the total ballot count on hand yet (as they’re being triple checked using a separate system, still with full transparency).

        1. Thats because vaccinations overall are much much higher than usual.

          How often do you get one shot. Once every 10 years? 15?

          1. Flu vaccine. Every single year. As does over 60% of the US. That’s comparable (within about 10%) to Covid vaccination rates. Making my point even stronger. I also get Tetanus boosters as required.

            Any other strawmen?

          2. Ouch C_Miner, you have so unceremoniously sent poor Anal Ass for a software update.

      2. Yet when someone dies with covid, or died testing positive for covid, it is totally valid for the fear mongers to state it is a fact that they died of COVID and completely over-react and shut down the west.

        You are full of BS allan, so full that I doubt social distancing was a problem for you.

        1. “I doubt social distancing was a problem for you”

          I’m sure Anal S has lively conversations with UnMe and his other identities in his mom’s basement. They talk about their meds and how much girls hate them. At least until September when it’s back to the junior high school grind.

  17. Thank you guys for the great recommendations. The ones I haven’t seen are now on the ‘have to watch that’ list.

    Haven’t seen it since it was released (at my one and only time in a drive-in theatre somewhere in Alberta, B.C or maybe Idaho) but I remember Sugarland Expresss simply for the number of police cars following Goldie Hawn and Ben Johnson. Just looked and it was a Spielberg film, which I did not know.

  22. Don’t flame me for saying this, but I am addicted to the “Fast and Furious” series. Everything one of the films shows up on TV, I have to watch it. Yes, it goes overboard on identitarian casting, but the plots and scenes are so ludicrous, the films become fun to watch. And the storyline are not politically correct, and Dwayne Johnson is great as an unrelenting SWAT cop. Great popcorn and diet Coke movies.

    2. I was just about to post how much I love SDA as none even mentioned the F&F franchise. I kinda like the first one (really a remake of Point Break, except drivers not surfers) because at least it was about kids tuning cars and driving them fast and not about superheroes racing submarines or jumping from one skyscraper to another (yes, I watched them with my kids), plus Vin Diesel is pure cringe with room temperature IQ.

  23. Its the dead Indian edition today at Blackie’s Globe and Mail. Lots of stories of “settlers” and priests killing children. Big Chief Tanya explains how small children had to drag their dead classmates outside during the winter and bury them. No comments allowed.

    1. How would they know what happened? They had no written language and they certainly wouldn’t use white man magic words as that would be racist.

      So I guess that is the same oral tradition that determined the inuit ate bannock since forever…..

    2. The more such stories like this are told the less credibility they have. It tells us the sad story is going to be milked dry.

      We have no idea how many of the children would have died from diseases around at that time had they been with their parents.
      It’s a horror story for us to hear children were taken from their families under government orders to be educated outside their own community and their culture lost to them.

      We need to fix the Indigenous mess that is ongoing but no government has the guts to do what needs to be done.
      It won’t get fixed with money.

  26. After a busy week of campaigning and throwing money around, Teddy Bear Justin is relaxing all weekend at his Harrington Lake resort. Hopefully the cooks and servants treat him well.

    1. He’s making his Santa Claus list of goodies to hand out for his next campaign stops across the country.
      He has no opposition, they’re all dozing along while they have volunteers calling us for money so they can
      tell us how bad he is managing while doing not a damned thing about it. They’re like a bunch of mice squeaking in a corner while Trudeau is out flaunting his charm on our dime to certain victory.

      This is a sad testament to the people who support the worst prime minister in our history. I shudder thinking where another term of his antics will take us.

    1. yup. That one and Two Lane Blacktop would somewhere near the top of this list

      Can’t believe they were overlooked…

    1. The RCMP would wet themselves and they are very, very poor shots.
      See them at the local range occasionally do their qualifications.
      They really should be disarmed as they are a threat to society.

    1. Live and let die had a great car chase. Another more recent bond car chase was with pierce brosnan in a tank. Lots to choose from with bond.

    2. The chase in the latest sequel, fury road, with charlize theron was like no other, although it was most of the movie and doesn’t fit in a short video

  37. Conrad Black at the National Post, defends our first prime minister. And the drunken fascist Liberal premier of Nova Scotia has called an election. I’m sure P.M.Teddy Bear throwing money around there the other day had nothing to do with it.

  43. Federal Politics: Pre-Writ period shows narrow gap between incumbent Liberals and CPC challengers
    ://angusreid.org/federal-politics-pre-writ-2021/
    Despite a rash of MSM reports that the CPC are crashing there are new reports showing a horserace. Add in the 2% supporting Max and its a tie. Given the weakness of the Lib leadership and positions, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

  45. Besides everyone in Canada is fed up with our governments actions, they do have consequences on our vast reliance on imports…
    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/reality-nycs-reopening-businesses-arent-coming-back
    Canada no doubt is in worse shape.
    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/welcome-21st-century-sequel-catastrophic-1600s
    You can’t keep adding even more regulations, laws and restrictions on an already collapsing business and industrial sector and claiming a normal is coming back.
    Just doesn’t work.

  47. The gay teddy bear’s CBC is celebrating about a bunch of Indians and leftists demonstrating in front of the Manitoba legislature today. Protest against the premier stating that settlers were good people. This goes against the accepted narrative that white colonial settlers were murdering racist bastards. And of course the new whiny Indian minister stating that the church and government didn’t set up the residential schools with evil intentions. This goes against the accepted narrative that priests, government workers, and settlers got together to plot the genocide of Indian children.

    1. Businesses are free to decide whether, who, and how they want to serve their customers. If he had previously been notified that they demand masks, then I’m with the employees that he shouldn’t have gone back in and was trespassing. Stupidity like that (ignoring the rights of the merchant to refuse service) does our side a huge negative. Publicize their stupidity, but it is their house, their rules.

      Note “Canadian Tire requires face diapers” and walk away. Don’t impose your views on them, because they like it just as much as when they impose their views on us.

      My wife and I were clothes shopping at a Marks (same parent company) today and would have left if they had imposed that demand on me. And they would have lost out of the $300 we spent. They left me alone and didn’t raise a fuss, that franchise made a sale. Know your merchants!

      1. To some degree that’s true.

        Here’s the catch though, if most or all businesses collectively starts behaving this way, then that has become normalized.

        Given that masks *do not* work, and, there is reason to believe they are actually physically harmful (psychologically for sure), then, there’s no real grounds to deny service. It’s a violation of our rights. There is no equivalence to ‘no shirt no service’ and ‘no mask no service’. Allowing that to stand is part of how we are here, the slow drift of The Left imposing beliefs on us and us not standing for ours firmly enough.

        And eventually, you have the US government step in, for instance, and encourage businesses to do so. See Facebook + Biden for latest example.

        They tell you to go ‘build your own place’, you do that, and they try to destroy that too. Prime example: Parler. Nothing is enough for them. They want it all.

        And who are Canadian Tire to cuff someone? What authority do they have for that?

        I can see two obvious ways for average day people to deal with this. Stand up for their rights, and/or, boycott the business.

        1. When the government gets involved then all bets are off. Until then There is no equivalence to ‘no shirt no service’ and ‘no mask no service’ is not true any more than “gentlemen will not be seated without a tie”. Their property, their choice (within legal limits).

          If they want to diminish their customer pool, so be it. If you want to stand on the sidewalk, point at their stores, and laugh, so be it.

          And who are Canadian Tire to cuff someone? What authority do they have for that? they are the property owner exercising a citizen’s arrest for trespass. Trespass on their property. Be glad it didn’t occur in a state where trespassers can be shot.

          Your final statement is something I fully agree with. If it’s a governmental agency you’re dealing with, option one. If it’s a private business (or home) then option two. Ridicule them as being fools who are trying to make their customers sicker (with a legal public protest) or just stay away. But if you don’t let them know that they’ve lost your business and why then there’s no chance for them to learn how they’re dumbasses that lost your business.

          Good discussion!
