    2. That may be news that gets him suicided.

      But we have no obligation to commit suicide by following illegitimate protocols.

      A spine is called for.

    4. “This little item was on Twitter today. ”

      And a little further down the page was this gem – those 86,000 new IRS agents Sleepy Joe and San Fran Nan brought-in? – ah, maybe not: https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy/status/1612640200081002496

      This could get interesting. As various detractors point-out, it would need to pass the Senate and Pres – but as Denninger points-out, Congress is solely responsible for passing the budget, so whoever controls Congress controls the money. The ultimate stick in any government!

    1. There’s a call sign I haven’t seen in decades: KRTV. Them, KFBB (both from Great Falls, MT), MotherCorpse and a Lethbridge station were what rural very southern Albertans had for TV in the 60’s & 70’s.

  6. CTV reporter Jessica Robb calls on white nationalists to quit their Science-denying conspiracy theories about her getting ill on live TV because of the life-saving Covid 19 shot.

    Good job Jessica! I hope you get back to work soon after the Russians poisoned you. Canadians need you to continue to write down the license plates of science-denying Canadians who are attending church in defiance of the crowd gatherings not permitted by PM Justin Trudeau.

  9. We don’t have to stick a fork in them to see if they’re done. They’re doing it to themselves.

    “We’re not doing this because we’re being regulated to do it. We’re doing this because our CEOs truly have a conviction that we don’t have a long-term future if we can’t address what’s been our Achilles heel: our greenhouse gas emissions.”

    “This notion of a transition being upon us is not controversial and the oil and gas industry itself is planning with this eventuality in mind.”

  16. Trudeau gave the Bandarites another 6B tax dollars plus more weapons.

    Newsweek, 2014 and continuing to this day:

    ‘Ukrainian Nationalist Volunteers Committing ‘ISIS-Style’ War Crimes’

    Groups of right-wing Ukrainian nationalists are committing war crimes in the rebel-held territories of Eastern Ukraine, according to a report from Amnesty International, as evidence emerged in local media of the volunteer militias beheading their victims.

    1. I recall when Alberta passed the law that religious headgear trumped motorcycle helmets. It’s been a while now. Pissed me off. I finally saw my first Sikh rider last year, turban in the wind. Pissed me off, again.

      1. I ride too.
        This doesn’t piss me off. Simple common sense dictates that I wear a helmet (in addition to seriously good heavily armoured gear). No gubmint regs required.
        If a Sikh (or a Catholic), believing that “loud pipes save lives”, wants to risk life and limb riding without one, go for it and good luck.

        1. What pisses me off is the double standard. Helmets are mandated because, “Safety!” Along comes the first grievance monger and, suddenly, it’s no longer about safety, for some. Which is it? I want a choice, too. It’s less about safety & more about control.

          As soon as I hit the US border, my helmet is stowed away. I’ve ridden through 7 western states and for 10’s of thousands of country & city miles in all manner of conditions and all kinds of highways without a helmet and I’m still here to talk about it. There are millions of riders down there that manage an entire, lengthy, lifetime of riding without a helmet. Curious, that.

          When I first sewed my “loud pipes save lives” patch on my riding vest, I thought it was kind of a cute cliche. The older I get, the more I believe it rings true.

  18. Almost trivia: Washington Irving wanted the name Appalachia vs America. Imagine if he had succeeded in getting his wish? Wouldn’t that have been funny! In the New England foot hills of my youth we pronounced it Apple-ay-sha. Apple-ay-shion mountains, Apple-ay-shion trail, etc. I never heard the hard ch pronunciation until well into adulthood. It was a bit of a shock and an ear felony. No idea why the difference. http://users.fred.net/kathy/at/word.html. Personally I am ready to thank the French, though I have no evidence and it is a trait of word evolution that we become softer and lazier in pronunciation over time. So it may be my beloved and slightly snobby New England can be faulted for poor enunciation.

    1. Your pronunciations are the same as in English-speaking Montreal in the 1960s and 1970s – perhaps not surprising since many from Montreal vacationed in the Apple-ay-shion mountains or travelled through them to the Maine and New Hampshire coasts.

    3. What’s interesting is I had totally forgot about the giant walnut trees that used to number in the billions up and down the Eastern seaboard , east of the Mississippi.
      Used to collect the nuts in my youth.
      All gone now due to blight brought in by some imported Asian walnut trees from China, back in the 1890’s, died out by the mid 1960’s.
      If you try planting any today the blight gets them when they hit around 15 feet and a few inches in diameter.
      Was a great all around tree that provided food for the critters plus us, long lasting rot resistant wood for structures, great for the fireplace and its acid in the bark was useful for tanning/softening leather.
      A shame really.
      Why is it all the bad bugs come from China.

        1. I can still close my eyes and remember the pleasing smoothness. I too had pockets full of them. Thanks for that memory.

    1. What are you talking about?

      Why our Liberal government says their MAiD program is an absolute success, that has been proven by the fact that it is the only medical procedure that no patients have complained about after! 😉

  23. More settled science?

    Webb finds “wide diversity of galaxies in the early universe”

    https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/webb-finds-wide-diversity-of-galaxies-in-the-early-universe/

    New data from the Webb Space Telescope and presented this week at an astronomy conference has found that galaxies in the early universe exhibit much of the same range of shapes and morphologies seen in the recent universe, a result that was not expected.

  24. The Binance crypto exchange — the largest such exchange in the world — is selling off billions in assets — to try to stem the bank run it’s facng:
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierpaz/2023/01/09/binance-is-bleeding-assets-12-billion-gone-in-less-than-60-days/

    This is also called a “cash burn” using the jargon of business analysts. FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried went through a cash burn.

    Meanwhile the price of Bitcoin is up today. All is well in the world.

  25. Don’t know if this was posted yet but Joe Biden claimed that he worked for both the Polish and the Ukrainian secret police.
    Media is trying to pass it off as ” he meant Salvation Army”
    Personally I think MAP Biden visited Ukraine for other reasons but that’s just speculation based on Ukraine’s human trafficking record.
    Any way, Joe making a fool of himself, his supporters, and the United States.

  29. Ukrainian Human Trafficking and Child Sex Slaves.

    This is what Canadian Tax Dollars Supports?
    These are some pics from Gorad Kyiv a fashion company in Ukraine

    Ukraine is also one of the hotbeds of human trafficking

    This is sick and far worse than Balenciaga
