  1. The whole US industrial military complex is broken, corrupt, and compromised.
    After determining that joining the F-35 club is like buying a timeshare, in hell; this beauty popped into the reality news:

    Littoral combat ships were supposed to launch the Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their weapons never worked. Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

    1. Two completely different stories. I know you are obsessed with advancing the narrative about US corruption first and foremost while ignoring all details, but F-35 and LCS are separate stories. F-35 is genius, LCS is a product of the generations of idiots who after the Cold War decided that real wars will not happen again. So over the span of about two decades they cancelled A-12, Seawolf, Crusader, RAH-66 and others, and got the bright idea of LCS. Only now we are seeing steps in the right direction (although I think the new light tank is retarded too).

      P.S. I have replied to your delusions about Grippen in yesterday’s tips.

      1. Do you mean that Liberal Minister Steven Guilbeault hasn’t found us an all electric fighter aircraft yet? 🙂

  2. Here’s an intriguing story about a woke high school teacher (Ki Louie) out in Creston, BC, a member of the Lower Kootenay Indian Band. Two years ago CBC News featured the guy in a fawning article:
    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/prince-charles-secondary-school-renaming-reconciliation-creston-valley-1.6074701

    whereby, during the mass children’s graves moral panic, his high school changed its name, temporarily, from Prince Charles Secondary School to Creston Secondary School. Temporarily, since the school board is thinking about changing the latter name to something more politically correct.

    Flash forward to today. Ki Louie, otherwise known as Kianuko Wayne Louie, has been charged with multiple sex offenses against two children and possessing child pornography. As a high school teacher he possesed outdoor skills, taking kids on camping trips, instructing them on canoeing, nature and the like.

    Interestingly, the left-wing Canadian Press kept Louie’s name off its wire story. Why bother informing citizens about the perp’s name, citizens who may have knowledge of other crimes committed? Identity politics comes first.

  3. Dems Funding Neo Nazi Staged Rallies
    Someone chose the Blood Tribe to travel to Florida and host this event because of their neo-Nazi reputation. But what they did not count on was Blood Tribe leader Christopher “Hammer” Pohlhaus emphatically proclaiming he supports Joe Biden. But why? Well, many of the neo-Nazi’s who Pohlhaus claims “are everywhere” have fought in Ukraine for the Azov Battalion, a volunteer paramilitary militia fighting alongside troops supported by the Biden Administration.

    Mahmoud Ghanam, 23, was sentenced Friday on charges of failing to remain at the scene of an accident, failing to render assistance and failing to provide his information to police. Ghanam pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal heard before Justice of the Peace Louis Dibblee in Ottawa’s Provincial Offences Court.

  5. Apparently India is not altogether welcoming to the Bong:

    Is it my imagination, but did our broadcast media cartel go easy on Justin Trudeau during his trip to the G20 meetings? I read mostly conservative outlets like (this site, The Epoch Times), which show that the Indian and U.S. media have lambasted Trudeau. But it seems to me his embarrassments have been censored here.

  6. Putin: Sending Soviet tanks into Hungary and Czechoslovakia was a mistake

    VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the Soviet Union’s decision to send tanks into Hungary and Czechoslovakia to crush mass protests during the Cold War was a mistake.

    “It was a mistake,” Putin said when asked about perceptions of Russia as a colonial power due to Moscow’s decision to send tanks into Budapest in 1956 and into Prague in 1968.

    “It is not right to do anything in foreign policy that harms the interests of other peoples,” said Putin, who in 2022 sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, triggering the biggest land war in Europe since World War Two.

    Putin said the United States was making the same mistakes as the Soviet Union. He said Washington had “no friends, only interests”.

  7. Rent is going up more than $100 a month right now, pushing average asking price to new record

    … While he says Canada’s impressive population growth and surge in international students may pay off down the line for the economy, in the short term, at least, it is exacerbating an already acute housing shortage.

    “There’s a drastic shortage of units at the lower end of the rental market, renting for less than $1,000 a month, and way too many people trying to chase after them now,” he said.

    “People can jump on a plane this morning and arrive [in Canada] tonight, but we can’t put a house on the production line today and have it ready by tomorrow — it takes us three or four or five years to do that.”…

    The increased population is only meant to profit the developers and the politicians they have paid off.
