  1. The sequel to The Hustler (which won two Oscars) was 1986’s The Color of Money (Paul Newman, reprising his role in TH, and Tom Cruise–Martin Scorsese, director). That movie won two Oscars as well, Newman for Best Actor and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio for Best Supporting Actress.

  2. So, what’s the thrust here? Someone can drink a bottle of booze, shoot a politician & get acquitted?

    Canada’s Supreme Court rules being DRUNK is defense for sex attacks and killing: Judges acquit suspect who stabbed mother because he thought she was ALIEN while high on pills and naked man who beat a professor with broom when on mushrooms

    1. Yup all those drivers convicted of Driving under the influence and especially those imprisoned for being in a fatal accident while drunk, can all now appeal.
      MAD are attacking our Rights and Freedoms,the Supremes can now lock them up..
      But typical Just Us System,same logic does not apply to drinking up large and going Judge Potting..One suspects that would still be considered a serious crime…
      Though I can’t imagine why..

    2. All this really says is that you can make the defense, doesn’t mean the defense will be accepted.

      As Colby Cosh noted, you can still make entirely separate classes of offense that cover this and dodge the SC’s ruling.

      1. Camel’s nose in the tent. Where and when have we seen this act before, especially coming from Lie-berals.

        But nice try anyway, Unme… I’ll give you points for trying to tell us to “look over there!”

        Not buying it, sunshine! Not this time. You can only fool so many people so many times. Eventually, they wise up to Lucy’s proverbial football.

        1. What? What football? What is even the camel or the tent? You don’t just to throw in random metaphors, that’s not how metaphor works!

          1. Oh, Please… Do educate me! Please tell me how metaphors are supposed to work instead of telling me how they don’t, but that seems to be a pattern with you, isn’t it? Always destructive, never constructive.

            Do I have to explain the Lucy pulling the football away from poor old Charlie Brown just as he was about to kick it? Just because my metaphor is too subtle for your liberal mind, doesn’t mean it wasn’t inappropriate.

            Get a clue next time.

          2. Fc, you can’t expect anything genuine from that troll. I thought you knew.

    1. Yet another “sudden,” and undoubtedly ‘undisclosed’ illness. Not saying anything more. I’ll leave it to the rest of you to connect the dots.

      1. Beautiful, in the best traditions of Kaczmarski, Gintrowski, Kelus or Wojtowicz. Pity there is no CC to share it with the wider audience.

  3. This coulda’ been mentioned under “Liberal Lies” – from Zerohedge:

    Buffalo Mass Shooter Cites “Great Replacement Theory” & NY’s “Heavy Gun Laws” In Manifesto

    I note with irony that NY’s “Heavy Gun Laws” didn’t stop him. Paris’s “Heavy Gun Laws” didn’t save 150 lives from terrorists with AK’s. It’s almost like criminals don’t obey laws, or something – and yet our Certain Unnamed Prime Minister remains bent on taking our guns away. Why doesn’t he just pass a law that says “Breaking the law is against the law”? I’m SURE that’d work…

    1. This needs to be amended as follows:
      “Breaking the law is against the law, unless you’re Librano or their sugar daddy. “

      1. “This needs to be amended as follows” …

        Naw, they don’t need to do that.

        1) the intent here, as it is in almost all gun laws, is VIRTUE SIGNALLING! “See? – we’re DOING SOMETHING!!! – and those superficial voters with the intellects and attention spans of gnats, will even be certain it’ll work!”

        2) Libranos don’t pass laws saying they’re above the law – the Attorney General (who’s one of them), Justice Minister (ditto), police and judges already know that, and it might give a few voters a bad impression about Libranos’ integrity. Or something.

        1. I disagree. The intent is to completely & entirely disarm law abiding citizens so they can’t rise in revolution against TPTB. Kicker is, they’re creating a new class of outlaw in the process.

          1. That’s pretty much it in a nutshell, DB… I will add that it’s easier to go after law-abiding citizens than it is to actually get the bad guys.

          2. Besides the more vulnerable to criminals the civilized are the more need there is for police to protect and in the process regulate and restrict the civilized, win-win as far as cops and their political masters are concerned.

        2. Fair point… I was with you until “Libranos’ integrity” then I realized you incorporated comedy in the end.

  5. Interesting article from the Post Millennial:
    https://thepostmillennial.com/posobiec-trends-nationally-after-call-for-90s-styled-pizza-hut-nationalism

    about how Pizza Hut has declined in the U.S. The author puts all of the blame on the dominant woke culture, running down average Americans eating at everyday places sneered at by our p-c rulers. I think the issue is more complex than that–e.g. criminal teenage gangs taking over shopping malls, etc.

    But I like the thought in the article that the woke establishment has taken over ALL areas of life where a family could go to enjoy themselves. Ordinary people have trouble finding places to escape to. For conservatives, this is not exactly true. We can read books; go to the country; go online and access the independent media; go to church. But for families seeking leisure, the writer may be right. And the writer is correct that the woke elites have taken over nearly all of our culture.

  6. And speaking of ruling elites, this morning the Globe and Mail puts an article (advertorial?) on “men’s power dressing”:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/style/article-mens-clothing-summer-2022-colours-style/

    featuring this skinny, mentally retarded guy in hyper-expensive wear, men’s wear more appropriate for the old Miami Vice show. But here men’s slacks are priced at $1,600-$2,000 each, as are all clothing shown here. So these are the people ruling over us.

    The comments beneath the article are a scream. Article is pay-walled, so use incognito.

    1. Huh. I power dressed yesterday myself. Prior to climbing on the Hawg, I put on a pair of naturally faded Wranglers that are at least a dozen years old. I accompanied that with a black Harley t-shirt from Warr’s HD in England, similar vintage and a gift from my SIL. I put my riding belt on, a nice piece of leatherwork from the 70’s, held together by a classic AMF era Sportster buckle from around ’72. I hung my Buck knife, ca. 1980, from said belt. I then slipped on my riding boots, a pair I purchased back in ’77, that have seen their fair share of mud, blood & beer. Next, custom leather chaps & leather jacket from ’91. I topped it off with this butt ugly, beat up, red helmet that I’ve had since around ’88, just before riding out to Fernie & back.

      I got more cool in the blood stains on my boots than Soi Boi does in his entire ensemble. Slacks? Seriously? Pussy.

      1. You sound suitably attired for the intended activity. Years ago, people I know sent me T-shirts from Daytona’s Bike Week. They are keepsakes– Harley logo on one!

        As for the colored suits in The Globe article, I got nothin’…

      2. DB

        Theres nothing like a great pair of Wranglers, Lee’s or Levis that have been lovingly washed and faded…NOTHING.

        They be just “right”
        I don’t and never have worn “slacks”…Dress Pants yes, once a yr if (and thats a big if), we get invited to Wifes Christmas party being Pure Bloods and all…

        1. Agreed. I just semi-retired an even older pair of jeans, my wallet had worn a hole through the back pocket. I may just get a fresh pocket sewn on.

    2. The pattern of grasshopper stains on my riding jacket is to die for!
      Beautiful plumage, etc.

      Thank God our tax dollars are being wisely used by the G&M to bring us such crucially important information.
      Four years in Ryerson well spent!

  7. The Canadian special forces flew a surveillance air plane over the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa on five different days despite military orders not to. Was it because the Dear Leader wanted extra protection from his peaceful, freedom-loving citizens?

    “Canadian special forces operated an aircraft equipped with surveillance equipment over protests in downtown Ottawa despite a military directive that was supposed to prohibit such activities.

    The Jan. 27 directive stipulated that Canadian Forces vehicles and personnel were to avoid the Ottawa protest and Royal Canadian Air Force planes were not to fly over the “Freedom Convoy” demonstration.

    But Canadian special forces leaders reasoned they didn’t have to follow the military directive since the surveillance plane they were using was owned by a private defence contractor.”

    https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-special-forces-conducted-flights-over-ottawa-protest-despite-military-directive

    1. Sounds like BS to me. Training exercises are planned well in advance ,typically repeated yearly near the same date and planned in great detail. There will be after action reports. The paper trail on this will be huge.

      1. Definitely BS, also because the Jan. 27 directive stated that “Canadian Forces vehicles and personnel were to void the Ottawa protest”. The plane was apparently privately owned, but at least some of the those on board were Canada Forces personnel who were therefore in violation of the directive.

    2. Turdhole/NDP military mercenaries.

      There isn’t one law the Turdhole/NDP dicktatorship is not willing to break… and get away with it.

      Corrupt shithole ruled over by corrupt lawless Globalists.

    1. Burton…

      That one should be filed with the report from Sri Lanka, illustrating precisely what happens when you DISALLOW chemical fertilizer in your country and force farmers to grow produce in PIG SHIT.

      Unsurprisingly, they eventually get very hungry – very mad and come for said politicians heads….burning down their homes & chasing police away..!!

      A portent of what may well come to N. America…? if ya think 2020’s summer of “Mostly peaceful protests” was nuts….just wait.

      The Powers that be may wish to stock up on WHITE PAINT in DC…would not be the first time the Presidents house was Burned down.

    2. [i]Still, developers of the project said the venture was a success because it provided a model for future energy independent solar grids.

      “The project first showed how decentralized solar projects can work in such areas. It exposed the state to the idea of the utility of solar energy for the state,” Ramapati Kumar, the CEO of the Center for Environment and Energy Development which helped fund the project with Greenpeace, told Mongabay-India. “It was for demonstration purpose and suffered later due to upkeep issues.”[/i]

      Even though the entire solar project failed, it proves solar projects will work in the future. (And I can continue my phony-baloney job with all the nice perks for another few years.)

      I am surprised they didn’t throw in a windmill or two?

  8. Got my email from Jean Charest asking for his support today.

    Venting is good for the soul.

    I asked him if he would be a racist and Nazi if someone showed up at one of his rallies with a swastika flag.

      1. What does the data suggest then, Unme? I mean, we’re talking about suggestion, not hard evidence, so you don’t see a pattern here at all? Nothing worth at least a look into? All this data… Is it all just a pile of random numbers to you?

        I think that you are in a deep state of denial. Let me offer some advise. You’re not going to find anything if you refuse to even look for something.

        It’s called “critical thinking.” Give’er a try sometime. You may actually feel enlightened.

        1. The data demonstrates that the COVID vaccine is safe and highly efficacious at preventing hospitalization and death and somewhat efficacious at preventing transmission.

          1. Maybe if you were looking in a mirror, oh, but there I go again with another random metaphor

      2. Unme

        Yea Ok then…

  9. Want Tighter Restrictions on Protests? Progressive Politicians Should Beware What They Wish For

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/want-tighter-restrictions-on-protests-progressive-politicians-should-beware-what-they-wish-for_4466296.html

    “People were aghast at the behaviour of a small group of protesters who recently surrounded NDP leader Jagmeet Singh at a Peterborough, Ontario, provincial election campaign event.”

    Not hardly. What amazes me is that these useless pricks aren’t greeted by protesters like this everywhere they go.

      I think its highly likely that my Duramax would have an “accidental” brake failure should that Filthy Piece of sub human garbage walk in front of it…

  10. Assorted Texan psychopaths want to outlaw travel for abortion.

    “Cain said he is interested in going after abortion funds that raise money to help pregnant women with travel costs to get the procedure in another state.

    In March, he sent cease-and-desist letters to such organizations based on a pre-Roe statute that made it a crime to ‘furnish the means for procuring an abortion.’ Roe made these abortion statutes unconstitutional. ”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10798009/Texas-looks-ban-residents-leaving-state-abortions-NY-looks-expand-access.html

    Basically if you live in America you will have to live in NY or CA or a handful of other civilized places to escape the American Taliban.

    1. Tell me something… why should taxpayers in Texas fund a women’s “right to choose” (oh, excuse me… woke language update: “…right to DECIDE”) to kill her baby in another state? I say, if you want to terminate a pregnancy that you got yourself into, then get yourself out of it, and pay your own damn way to New York or California, and stop hitting on the taxpayer for your own poor decision-making.

      And don’t give me any crap about using that argument against people suffering from Cancer or some other such potentially terminal disease. You and I both know that abortion is an elective surgical procedure to prevent something that is completely natural, and in a vast majority of cases, does not pose a threat to the health of the mother.

      1. First, this isn’t relevant to the efforts to prevent women travelling abroad to escape the Texan Taliban. Second, if the Texan people decide to embrace oppression then they deserve to pay up. Third, it doesn’t matter whether or not abortion avoids something ‘natural’. Natural is often horrible, and it doesn’t get much worse than having children.

        1. First, then why even bring it up?
          Second, that doesn’t even make any sense. The oppression is coming from those who DEMAND that the taxpayer pay for the indiscretion.
          Third, I will take that under advisement the next time I sit in a field under a shade of a big oak tree on a hill during a warm summer day looking down at the valley carved out by a babbling brook of cool, crisp, freshwater rushing toward the local mill…
          Oh… sorry! Too much nature for you?

    1. Just think: the gang greens want to get rid of the clothing industry.

      Does this mean they now support global warming (so people don’t have to wear clothes)?

      1. I can just imagine the commute to work in the middle of January.

        Just imagine sitting on a bus seat that was just occupied by one of those “people.”

        The idiocy of that woman knows no bounds. There are health issues that you’re supposed to consider when you put your name on such an idiotic policy shift.

    2. Lizardbreath May naked in public is a sight I’d rather not see.

      1. Oh, come now! Throw in the Purple Perogy and, say, Tam for the trifecta. You know you want it…

      2. It should definitely be illegal for May to be naked in public.
        It may endanger the eyesight of people.

    1. There are a lot of people around the world opposing this. Unfortunately media and our politicians seem oblivious — or they deliberately want to keep people in the dark.

  11. Certainly not a life-changing moment, but when I saw the ESPN feed online this morning for Johnny Gaudreau’s OT goal I thought, “gotta see that”! For those who may not follow the NHL, Calgary Flames played game 7 of the opening championship series against Dallas Stars. The game was played in Calgary. When I clicked on the link, “This video is not available in your country.” appeared. If not here, where?

  12. Tucker Carlson is really getting hammered in the press on replacement theory. The dems are throwing every pair of dirty underwear at the wall right now. New polls come out?
