Reader Tips 50 Comments

This evening we chuckle over some German humour. And here’s the Canadian version. Both are performed by an Irish trio.

Your insightful or funny tips are much appreciated!

Bonus: Canadian Veteran James Topp has just passed 500km of his planned 4,300km march from Vancouver to Ottawa.  You can follow his amazing journey at CanadaMarches.ca.  We will periodically post items from his website here in Reader Tips.

      1. When my canine step-brother is at my house in B. C., his Vaterlandzeichen is constantly in motion whenever we play “go und get it”.

    1. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but mean tweets will put me in hospital”? Considering who’s on the panel, namely Prinz Dummkopf’s main fluffer, should we be surprised?

      Hey, Rosie, how about some advice? A very wise man by the name of Harry Truman once said that if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You might want to think about it.

      1. I channel-surfed onto the CBC to watch Rosie’s At Issue panel (all three panel members were left leaning and based in Toronto). It seems that the Liberal One has packed a few pounds over the winter.

        1. Left leaning? I think that is all that is left in Canada, in fact they have leaned so far left they have fallen over.

    2. They’ve been lying to us for years, influencing public opinion with their propaganda serving big government interests at the expense of the people, and when we finally start calling them out on their BS, they want to start playing the victim.

      Canadian “journalists” have no honor. They are despicable cretons without a soul. They are to be —ridiculed (I had to restrain myself for that last one.)

      I have no respect for most of them. They deserve whatever scorn we the people can throw at them. They should be dragged through the streets in disgrace then perp-walked right into the slammer for their crimes.

  5. So our man’s going the Crow’s Nest route (Highway 3) rather than the TransCanada?

  6. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/our-suicidal-moralism/

    “…it is worth examining why so many commentators and average citizens seem to be taking the prospect of nuclear war so lightly, as we live through the greatest silent, sustained threat to humanity since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    “The stakes are apocalyptic but our political and military leadership and the blue-check geniuses on Twitter do not seem to care.”

    1. It is difficult to take talk of nuclear war seriously when the fools talking about it suggest masks and social distancing. It is also a threat that my generation lived with, and for sanities sake, ignored since 1945. If it happens it will make Revelation look like a picnic in the park. Insane people are apt to do anything and right now after the whu who flu experience, I can without pause say the people are insane enough to destroy themselves.

      1. “I can without pause say the people are insane enough to destroy themselves.”

        The kicker is, that’s precisely what it would take for some of these idiots to grab a clew. Not a bad thing, in & of itself. Unfortunately, it would take the sentient among us along with them.

  8. L – Fuel rationing begins under the Biden administration. The crime duo of Stumblin’ Joe and Justinflation have discovered a clot shot cure for for prosperity. Mandates to follow…
    —————————————————————————————————————————————
    Fuel rationing has begun in the United States. Keystone XL would have fixed this.

      1. Never chalk up as stupidity which can be better explained by malice. Or, something to that effect.

    2. Saw the video of the plane actually going down. It was a nosedive. I doubt there were any survivors.

    1. I was reviewing some notes I made about 20 year ago and I will say the same thing now that I said then. We have no control over the climate. We can dirty up the air, the water and the soil, but we cannot control the climate.

  13. Edmonton’s Mayor Soapy’s biggest worry:

    https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/edmonton-pleads-with-alberta-for-world-cup-funds-as-vancouver-announces-renewed-bid-1.5823635

    The streets are in terrible shape, snow removal is a joke in this town, the silly council is so dumb that its members can’t tie its own shoelaces, but noooooo! the mayor insists we need to have footballing prima donnas here at taxpayers’ expense.

    Gee, I’m glad I didn’t vote for him. Evidently, his experience at being a useless political hack while in Prinz Dummkopf’s cabinet is serving him well.

    2. Soapy’s mission in life as a Bongo proxy is to meddle with Jason Kenney.

      Look for him to have a future with the libranos. A candidate or appointment.

    1. I’m surprised that it wasn’t Sir Isaac Newton, a personal hero. While Jefferson, another historical figure I admire, was an amazing man as the video explains, Newton did pioneering work in mechanics, optics, and mathematics. But he didn’t stop there:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Later_life_of_Isaac_Newton

      Not bad for someone born on Prinz Dummkopf’s birthday, eh?

      Jefferson was responsible for the Louisiana Purchase. As a result, the Lewis and Clark Expedition was sent into the new territory to see what the American government got for its money. Jefferson took a great interest in what it found, keeping track of the messages that the expedition sent back.

      1. I think it was Newton who invented a new method for calculating pi to ridiculous decimal places while confined to his home during a pandemic. He gets my vote. Einstein wasn’t that dumb either.

        1. If I recall correctly, Cambridge had closed due to plague. It was during that time, roughly two years (no mention of flattening any curves), that he did his groundwork in optics, gravitation, and calculus.

          And he did it without having to wear a mask or being forced to take a phony-baloney vaccine.

          Einstein, being a civil servant in the Swiss patent office, had a lot of time on his hands during working hours, only to come up with relativity.

          As for calculating pi, I’m not sure if Newton developed a method for doing so, but Leonhard Euler certainly did.

          1. Newton used binomial series expansion to calculate pi to 22 decimal places. I also believe he was the first to use negative terms in the expansion.

            Einstein discovered 1) Brownian motion, 2) the photo-electric effect (Nobel Prize), 3) special relativity and 4) mass-energy equivalence “E=mc2”.

            Newton changed the way people thought about the world. Einstein changed the way people thought about the universe.

    2. The smartest woman who ever lived could be Maria Sklodowska – a nice Polish lady admired by Albert who is the only person to have ever won the Nobel Prize for science in 2 different sciences and only one of two scientists to ever win more than one Nobel Prize. Not bad for a woman.

      1. The smartest person alive is Marilyn Vos Savant (also known as Mrs. Robert Jarvik) and she was, at one time, a member of Mensa.

        Oh, and for those who think that Hollyweird is nothing but brain-dead idiots:

        https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/photos/2016/10/genius-celebrities-mensa-members

        I knew about Geena Davis when I became a member of Mensa. There have been rumours that Sharon Stone and James Woods were Mensans at one time but, so far, those stories appear to be urban legends.

  17. If you want to track a country’s (real) inflation rate and devaluation of their currency, a good proxy is the increase in their money supply relative to the US. Canada is a little below (0.5% interest rates), Australia also below (0.1%), Turkey very much higher (14%), Argentina out of control (40%) etc. You can switch country easily. Note the y-axis changes based on currency and range. While Canada and Australia have printed money like the guys on the Italian Job, the USA was even worse, more than doubling its M2 in 10 years from $10 to $22 trillion, more than half of it since 2020.

    My theory is the US is the big pig at the trough. You can’t eat more than the big pig.

  18. The more I hear the Minister of Foreign affairs the more I hear a lightweight. She’s the 5th Minister since the Bong took over in ’15.

    She must have other talents…

  19. Today is J. S. Bach’s birthday (1685). In observance, SiriusXM Channel 76/Symphony Hall is playing some of his numerous compositions.

  20. Wait… What?!

    Arizona Senate Passes School Transparency Bill Giving Parents Right to See What’s Being Taught

    https://humanevents.com/2022/03/18/arizona-senate-passes-school-transparency-bill-giving-parents-right-to-see-whats-being-taught/

    “The bill establishes a right for parents to know what’s being taught in public schools and would require schools to post the specific learning materials used in each institution on its website. “

    Why is this even required? Why would it be hidden in the first place?
