    1. Look at it on a map. Looks like a trap for the Ukraine “army”.

      Looks just like the Stalingrad trap, where the Ruskies let the Nazis in, only to surround them. The Ukraine “army” is a hollow shell of what it was. Not much left of the original force, they’ve been killed or surrounded.

      War of attrition, a Ruskie specialty.

      1. I am looking at the map, explain to me how more red area in the north would be to russian disadvantage and Ukrainian advantage.

        Predictably, you’re grasping for straws, also you’re delusional.

        BTW, in every liberated town and village more evidence of russian bestial torture and graves of murdered civilians are found.

        P.S. You think russians consciously led Germans into “Stalingrad trap” because they had planned it as such, all ahead of time? Oh boy.

        1. Sure Colon, keep up your fever dreams.
          The Ukes are losing a war of attrition. This is clear. Putin is toying with the bartenders and janitors playing soldier for Ukraine.
          Stop watching the alphabet media, they lie, and lie constantly. You’ve been duped.
          This isn’t about choosing sides, this is about sitting back and watching two bad guys knock each other around. Except Zelensky is the 98 lb weakling, with a stronger, albeit dumber pal holding him up, and then the Russians.
          Your mistake is picking sides. I’m agnostic in this battle, but the Ukes are a compromised, puppet regime. If you refuse to see that, no wonder your own views are DEElusional.

          1. You’re in your own little world if you’re thinking the attrition works more against Ukraine here than it does against Siberians.

            Also, stop assuming that those who are smarter and better informed than you, are just watching alphabet media. I don’t, at all. The level of analysis in alphabet media is about on par with that of RT, which is where you are apparently getting your information.

            Speaking of war of attrition, riddle me this ace, since the war is going so well for russians, why are they now buying ammunition from … [drumroll] … North Korea?

          2. I’m with Dan on this one, but I have to caution Dan that Colon does appear to know what he’s talking about. Both your arguments are credible, so once again, I choose to sit on the fence and see how all this plays out.
            Now having said that, I will suggest that the both of you play nice!

        1. ROFLMAO, Polish humor for the win. I am laughing so hard I got tears in my eyes.

          Besides, russians have no washing machines. But their are clean people, they handwash their pair of socks every month, whether it needs doing or not.

      3. Wow some people are extremely delusional. The gains put Ukraine on a stronger defensive role. The loss of Izyum is catastrophic. Russia also lost control of major rail lines it needs. There’s also hundreds of POWs and a staggering amount of captured equipment. There’s absolutely no possible way Russia did this on purpose.

        The attrition favors Ukraine. Their intel is far better than Russias. Their long range fires have more reach and are more accurate.

        There are rumors of lots of surrendering on the right bank of the Dnipro. Russian units are running out of ammo.

        Russia is losing.

        DanBC says “The Ukes are losing a war of attrition”

        “Alexander Sladkov, a Russian state TV war correspondent was reporting from
        the Donbas region, ,.when he made an apparent slip-up live on air when
        he blurted out that the Kremlin’s armed forces have suffered ‘huge losses’ ,
        in the Ukraine war.”

        *

    2. After the battle of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk where both side suffered crippling loses, russians moved surviving units to the relatively stable northern region. There they started rebuilding those units, except that every time they rebuilt one of them, they sent them south to Kherson region. Filling the gaps with Luganda and Donbabwe units and various paramilitaries at best or nothing at worst. One of Polish analysts (Colonel Lewandowski) compared it to playing Jenga… Ukrainians did not prepare strong offensive units at the north. They hit Siberians with what they had at the front lines, initially just three brigades (one armoured, one mechanized, one air assault on BTRs with token tank support). They just waited until the Jenga tower was unstable enough (they had excellent satellite recon) and pushed it, with every bit of progress, the front lines were collapsing and other other Ukrainian brigades further east could then push. In the end possibly up to eleven Ukrainains brigades were either pushing or mopping up (territorial defense brigades).

      Where will it end? I am betting about where they are now… Although don’t quote me on it, as pretty much every prediction anyone made about this war turned out to be wrong. Only those predicting bottomless russian incompetence and primitive savagery have been proven correct.

  2. Here is a link to an article by Michael Walsh. It is an article that argues against what passes for democracy in the USA.

    In today’s political climate “democracy” means universal suffrage. Unfortunately the electorate includes people who are lacking in the areas of maturity, temperament, intelligence, education or moral character. They are incapable of “providing, protecting and preserving” a sound system of government. These people constitute the mob. The mob has an unlimited appetite and feels entitled to satisfy it. Needless to say, this is no way to run a successful government. Universal suffrage simply results in unrestricted mob rule under which the majority votes itself possession of the keys to the treasury.

    Walsh argues that we want ordered liberty – and we do. We had it once but how do we get it back? What about a violent overthrow of the system? Sorry the 1st rule of successful violent revolutions is that you must out muscle your enemy. That means that you need the mob on your side because the mob has the muscle. If the mob is against you then your only recourse is to outsmart it. Outsmarting the mob means getting it to use it’s power against itself. Violence is non starter. Let the mob implement Cloward-Piven. Encourage it to keep on spending. Let it bankrupt itself. It will happen. It is happening. The nation is going bankrupt.

    I am reminded of a line from Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises:
    “How did you go bankrupt?”
    “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

    We are in the “gradual” part. The tricky bit is to know when the “suddenly” part will happen.

    1. Very much back in the day, Mum worked an election and watched the voters come in to the polling station in our small town. Amongst the voters was a woman who had clearly decided to vote because of the campaign to “get out and vote”. Unfortunately this woman was clearly unable to understand the process and eventually handed her ballot back with a large “X” on the outside. I think it went in as “spoiled”. I remember Mum muttering about this and why this person’s ballot should just so much as hers, when she’d spent considerable time and effort to understand the issues. I agreed with Mum.
      Now, I’m not so certain. Technology has “progressed to the extent that “dissent” is criminalized, and ballot-counting is seriously suspect. I have a feeling we would be better off to revert to paper ballots, even if it does mean the occasional lady landing an “X” where it shouldn’t be.

        1. In the last federal election (2022) my paper ballot was scanned and counted by an ImageCast (made by Dominion) ballot scanner.
          That was in West Carleton, Ontario. I made a complaint and the poll watcher agreed that the possibility of cheating exists when using ballot scanners.

    1. I don’t agree that the monarchy is racist, or imperialist. (it may have been imperialist at one time, but that changed under QEII.) I am not at all on board with this “colonialization” crap. That’s just revisionist’ history, not at all grounded in the truth.

      I do agree however, with the Queen’s passing, that the monarchy’s time has come and gone, and should be abolished, now that Charles, the woke globalist, is King. I don’t see much future for the monarchy, even if William, first in line, gets to wear the crown.

      I do not want the head of this state to be a foreigner. The constitutional monarchy that we have lived with all of our lives should be abandoned.

      1. I agree. I am a republican at heart, but if Canada goes that route there has to be more checks and balances in place to reign in dictatorial prime ministers. Probably need more checks and balances as it is.

    2. Al Jazeera: the racist, imperialist monarchy in SAUDI ARABIA should be abolished.

      (A bit later, a journalist meets a vat of acid in an embassy)

  5. I enjoy these 5 decade music countdown posts. I haven’t had much to say about them (yet) but they take me back. Thanks Robert.

    If not for a lifetime of listening to Jimmy Buffet music, I might still be freezing my ass off in a blue state instead of living the dream in SWFL.

    1. “At publishing time, Meghan Markle had responded with her daily tradition of calling everyone in her family racist.”

      LOL.

      1. Willingly or is this just another example of “companion abduction” similar to what Megan did to Harry?

    1. Ah, the idiot liberal supporter keeps on denigrating the only one who has a hope of unseating Trudeau. Keep on going, MacMasterbaiter.

  11. “Postmedia Tells Shareholders $35M in Federal Government Handouts is a ‘Key Pillar’ of Its Business Strategy”
    https://www.unifor2000.ca/postmedia-tells-shareholders-35m-in-federal-government-handouts-is-a-key-pillar-of-its-business-strategy/

    Fluffing Justin Trudeau is a business strategy.
    And if it’s a key pillar then it affects their editorial slant.

    Would it be corporate malfeasance to not fluff Justin when there are $35 million at stake?
    With that much money at stake do they have a fiduciary duty to try to defeat Pierre Poilievre to preserve that corporate welfare?

    1. Comical part is when Akin tries to boast about exposing one piece of Trudeau’s dirty underwear.
      Like that clears him of being a Liberal heckler.

  17. Everybody get to work next Monday so we can pay for the Federal Civil servants to have the day off, so they can mourn and watch the queens funeral.
    Trudeau announced a national day of mourning but it took his buddy Seamus to explain its only for federal employees. Up to provinces to decide, WTF?
    You call it a National Holiday! Just to make yourself look good.
    Kaybec of course no to holiday, No Surprise there they don’t recognize the sovereign. East coast yes to day of mourning.
    Don’t know about out west,
    but ontario No. Ford says there will be a moment of silence.
    You did not have a problem shutting down business during covid but the queen don’t count.
    Well I just come back from my conservative mpp office where I took my PCcon membership card, I explained to them how I swore allegiance to the queen 47yrs ago and I still do. When I joined the organization I belong to. What ford did today digusting, shallow and no respect to the sovereign.
    I joined pc party when I was 18 and have voted and donated to them, as of now no longer and handed them my card.
