The real problem for Noonan is that she begins to realize Trump’s support is not fading; the Republican Party is his party now, and she and the other NeverTrumpers have lost everything: they were useful idiots for the Democrats and must now wear their responsibility for the probably dishonest election of the most incompetent administration in American history.
Paying You To Stay Home
Not enough customers and even fewer staff. The war on small business is progressing nicely.
Some restaurants in the Ottawa area say they’re struggling to find enough staff — and are even having to close down for entire days — as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions ease and more people go out to eat again.
At The Barley Mow in Almonte, Ont., general manager Tracey Greer said they’re usually flooded with resumes in the spring but aren’t getting many this year.
The kitchen has been closing Mondays, only offering a small menu of sandwiches and kettle chips so staff can have a break, and also from 2 to 4 p.m. every day.
Those Trudeau votes aren’t going to buy themselves and your involuntary sacrifices are very much appreciated.
Its Only Money!
Blacklock has a couple of stories that I’m sure the bought and paid for media won’t mention. Federal government is backing 1.2 billion dollars in loans to unidentified companies. And due to payroll errors federal civil servants could receive half a billion dollars in damages. Its great working for Justin.

Blog Notes
I’m back from my internet-free long weekend showing dogs in hazy, blazing hot Calgary, and still have a very busy day ahead cleaning up odds and ends, including my dusty, heat baked vehicles and equipment.
Many thanks to our guest bloggers for keeping the place hopping. I’ll be back to semi-normal posting by this evening.
Totalitarianism Wrapped in a Smile is Still Totalitarianism
She’s angry but is she wrong?
What Kind Of Idiot Wants A Federal Election Now?
Great Leader’s cabinet ministers are all over Canada today throwing money around. This includes China Patty trashing the N.B. premier by showing up at the abortion clinic with cash. However our Dear Leader is taking another day off to relax at Harrington Lake. He had a busy phone call yesterday at the resort, talking to Dementia Joe about soccer. Campaigning on the taxpayer dime.
Australia, Where Art Thou?
Dear Australians, what happened to you? How did you give up every freedom and let yourselves get taken over by totalitarian thugs, all in the name of safetyism?
Feel The Healing, Baby
Tyler Hummel on intersectional psychodrama:
The University of Kentucky paid $5,000 to the Centre for Healing Racial Trauma for the workshop… Titled “Cultivating an Anti-Racist Mindset for Academic Administrators,” the workshop was hosted last winter by the centre, which offers trainings designed to heal people of racism and teach them to be anti-racist, among other services… The session involved deans and other top faculty writing out their “chosen metric for anti-racism,” and the steps they have taken thus far to address it… Mary Davis, [dean of the University of Kentucky’s J. David Rosenberg College of Law,] wrote she has begun to “force myself to accept white inferiority,” and that it is “really hard.”
August 3, 2021: Reader Tips
This evening we lighten things up with some funny commercials.
Your lighter or more serious tips would be much appreciated!
Subtly moving the goalposts
For months we’ve been told that getting vaccinated is the key to protecting yourself from Covid. This fully vaccinated South Dakota nursing home has been having a rough experience as of late, however. Is this a case of the mainstream media hitting the panic button (as we know they like to do), or an indication of a changing trend in infections and/or vaccine effectiveness?
Vaccinated seniors regularly deal with unvaccinated staff, visitors and community residents, face the rise of the more dangerous delta variant, and are less protected by vaccines that previously thought.
We Are All In This Together.
Obama is having a little birthday bash during the China virus pandemic. About 600 guests and staff will be attending, including a host of Hollywood actors.Remember, we are all in this together
Anti-Leadership
It’s not just with covid, it’s with pretty much everything these days.
Town Criers are colonial racists!
La La Land continues the fight against its evil colonial past. Apparently having a town crier is a colonial atrocity. I guess they have nothing else to worry about in B.C.
Malone and Navarro
Spend an hour discussing the latest covid developments. Video here
Audio only version here
People have been poo pooing what Malone has to say but if you listen to the above and compare it to the latest report out of the UK it pretty much lines up exactly.
Update: Malone goes through the CDC’s powerpoint.
Western leaders sure like to apologize.
Dear Leader Justin and the New Zealand prime minister are great friends. They quite often have chats on the phone, as they share views on global warming scams, Islamophobia, apologies, etc. Jacinda embraces her inner Justin
Rule by algorithms
As the number of people getting spanked by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for posting items that liberals don’t like continues to grow, its unlikely that the motivation has to do with striving for commercial success. What successful business plan aims to drive away customers?
In the name of combating hate speech, violence, conspiracy theory, etc., Internet platforms are removing not just advocacy, but knowledge, in a wide-ranging effort that may help the companies create a more frictionless, commercially successful product, but will impede the past from chastening the present. If the aim is preventing the spread of hateful ideas, nothing could be more counter-productive that cleaning away the record of their real-world impact.
Justin’s Cuban family taking a financial hit.
The China virus is backfiring on the commies. Canadians love communist beaches

This evening we glimpse back at simpler times, to a mid-1950’s beauty pageant in Santa Cruz, California.
Your somewhat newer tips are most welvome.
Maybe the back rent will just pay for itself
One of the reasons why the public outcry over the pandemic restrictions has been so muted is that the full costs of the lockdowns are often obscured by government edicts that prevent markets from making those costs known. This weekend, one of those edicts finally expired.
As many as 1.95 million households across America owed a collective $15 billion in back rent when a nationwide eviction moratorium expired this weekend, according to Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia estimates.
That number will reach 2 million by December, according to the report released Friday. In Pennsylvania, about 60,000 renter households will owe $412 million come August.
