  1. I remember back in the day the band I was in trying to do this Got the instruments down alright, but no one could sing it. LOL!
    By the way it’s Hocus Pocus by Focus. A Dutch Prog band.

    2. Fantastic band. The lead singer is freaky, but talented beyond belief. The drummer is great, as is the lead guitar.
      No lyrics. Just wild enthusiasm, and great sound.

  2. I remember staying up late with my dad to watch “The Night Stalker.”
    He’d say “There’s a show you might like on tonight.”
    That’s how I first watched “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”, “Deathwish”, etc.
    RIP dad.

  3. Go woke, go broke…

    Hollywood celebrities Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd have had a business setback.
    Their baby product company, Hello Bello, has filed for bankruptcy as it prepares for sale to new owners.

    Hello Bello’s diapers, wipes and other baby supplies are sold at Walmart, Target, Kohl’s and Albertson’s.
    The company decided to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy after losing its struggle to overcome high shipping and production costs, according to Fortune.

    Hello Bello was committed to sustainability practices. The website says it manufactures diapers on machines that used 50-percent less energy than standard, uses laundry detergent bottles made in part from sugar cane resin, and contains the products in eco-friendly cardboard.

    (Maybe they can move their company to Newfoundland and start using tax-free heating oil)

    1. …or maybe you Albertans could start selling heating oil as diesel fuel? Oh, I forgot, your’re just as ball-less as the rest of the country.

      1. Say what fuels der Fuerher’s Luftwaffe?
        Or Maritime furnaces?
        Subsidy free?
        Got anymore fake FN’s at CBC?

      2. We do sell diesel as heating oil.

        Let us know who your freedom fighters are YW. Is it you on your keyboard? Maybe the Alberta right hasn’t measured up to what you easterners think it should but at least we try. Show us your list YW

  4. Canada ain’t real. We are a tertiary adjunct to the states. More trade goes north/south than east/west here.
    Canada is just as real as Diagolon.
    Separation is the only realistic option:
    BC: “New China.”
    AB and SK : “Buffalo.”
    ON and MB: “The People’s Republic of Canada”
    Quebec and the east: “New France.”

    When and if that happens, Buffalo should know that that “The Peoples Republic of Canada” or “New France.” could annex them in seconds flat, as they have more guns and people to use them, so you clowns should STFU.
    Deal with it.

    1. Yeahwell just call it BULLSHITville and be done with it, you NEWFburtons have been wanking off at the gums about the east since Christ was a cowboy, who rode the arch to the bottom of the sea. Now get er done and or FVCK off ALREADY

      666

    2. @YeahWell… “they have more guns and people to use them,”

      Alberta has more people that KNOW how to use them.

      Regardless the US will never let the resources go to the Eastern commies if push came to shove. Alberta would become the true 51st state pretty quickly.

    1. I saw that news yesterday, but couldn’t find a proper link. Well, at least it managed to defuse one mine.

      Clearly, the Russians will not let the glory of the Juminda mine battle described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_evacuation_of_Tallinn die, LOL

      BTW, they call it “Tallinn Tragedy” in the Ruϟϟischeschweinen Pediration. By that same token, they should be called Tragically Stupid.

        1. Can’t wait for our spammer friend to react – very curious what he’s going to deflect it to.

          1. Ah it’s the Tweedledee & Tweedledum war mongering comment section again. Belly bucking each other in their own little emotional support group.

            Assuming you taking another slight on me, I’ll respond.

            I’ve been clear that I don’t give a rats @ss about the nuances of the Ukrainian & Russian war. As with Donald Trump I simply want the killing on both sides to stop.

            My alliance is with the Canadian taxpayer and our own communities MAGA. Don’t know if you’ve paid any attention with your focused Russia bigotry and narrow attention, but our own country is devolving at a quickening pace as the world ramps up it’s war efforts.

            Big picture is not your strength.

          2. “Can’t wait for our spammer friend to react – very curious what he’s going to deflect it to.”

            You just can’t help yourself, can you?

            Keep digging. I suspect that your days here are numbered.

          4. Also, now that Fred Flintstone from 20000 BC is here, he is very welcome to comment on the fresh tally of Russian equipment losses in their Avdiyivka offensive: 157 Russian vehicles to 8 Ukrainian.
            https://twitter.com/naalsio26/status/1717997189643841904

            Pootin know what he’s doing, right, Freddie? I’m sure I can find a link where you said that specifically about Avdiyivka.

  7. FWIW

    “As explored in the linked analysis – which is very much worth reading – in the fat and happy days since the fall of the Soviet Union, the Pentagon and US government have allowed Wall Street and Wall Street practices to take over defense manufacturing.

    And why not? It isn’t as if the US was ever going to fight a peer war again, right? In the meantime, money talks. Wall Street does not maximize wealth by maximizing economic output, or quality, or innovation, or any of those quaint factors. The real money is made through oligopolies and “moat” construction. Limit competition. Get down to one or two big players. Have a “moat” which prevents the entry of new competitors. Then gouge the customers to create a high and growing cash flow, that never stops, because of lack of competition

    Unfortunately, if the customer is US National Security, that means we are all in very bad shape – as we are. The Pentagon is talking about increasing arms production. They haven’t yet, not even 1.5 years after the invasion of Ukraine. It’s a complicated process – because genuinely boosting national security conflicts with cash flow maximization for Wall Street. High profits mean ruthless cost cutting. Shut down all production lines that don’t have a current contract. Make no effort to maintain machinery or labor – that would waste money.

    Through monopoly or oligopoly pricing make the US pay through the nose if any more ammunition or vital missiles are to be made. And a non-trivial point – the entire US defense industry is in the hands of multinational oligopolies. They have defense interests on multiple continents. They have to consider all factors. And the Pentagon and Congress, the MIC, have absolutely no problem with this situation. The MIC was never set up to maximize national security – what a quaint and naive idea! If you’ve been doing this your whole career – what’s the big rush to change things?

    The world is on fire. That is irrelevant from a Wall Street and MIC viewpoint. It simply doesn’t matter – until the entire world changes because of it.”

  10. “The doomsters’ favorite subject today is climate change. This has a number of attractions for them. First, the science is extremely obscure so they cannot easily be proved wrong. Second, we all have ideas about the weather: traditionally, the English on first acquaintance talk of little else. Third, since clearly no plan to alter climate could be considered on anything but a global scale, it provides a marvelous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism.” – Margaret Thatcher (2002)

      Awesome. Go Green!

    2. “Toyota Chair Speaks the Charged Truth About EVs”

      He didn’t make Toyota the world’s biggest automaker by accident. Toyota hybrids are apparently the best, and would be my choice if I were in the market for a new vehicle. Toyota will manufacture a full EV when they feel that the technology and conditions are ready…not before. Good to see someone stand up and tell the truth for a change, even if it cost him his job.

  16. ATF IS CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE WORST FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, WHICH IS NO SMALL ACCOMPLISHMENT: The ATF’s Prosecution of Larry Vickers Was About Headlines and a High Profile Scalp.

    https://instapundit.com/613609/

    This is why I think that any charge made that does not result in a conviction should require the government to pay the costs of defense. It should be pro-rata, so if they charge you with 100 things and only convict on two, they should pay 98% of your defense costs. This would discourage overcharging.

    Nope. The government is fully taxpayer supported. We’d all end up being penalized & the bastards still wouldn’t be held accountable. They personally need to feel the pain, not us.

      Woohoo! Perhaps Alberta’s 6 month moratorium on approvals will provide time enough for this to filter up and our highways will no longer be plugged by these taxpayer-funded behemoth monstrosities.

  34. Saint George Floyd was not murdered by the police:

    “He (the Medical Examiner) called me later in the day on that Tuesday and he told me that there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr. Floyd’s neck. There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation,” Sweasy said, according to the transcript.

    “He said to me, ‘Amy, what happens when the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on?’ And then he said, ‘This is the kind of case that ends careers.’”

    https://alphanews.org/court-docs-reveal-extreme-public-pressure-on-prosecutors-in-george-floyd-case/

    New court documents expose the “extreme pressure” prosecutors faced in Hennepin County to charge Derek Chauvin and three other former Minneapolis police officers in the death of George Floyd.

    Several attorneys opposed charging the “other three” officers and withdrew from the case due to “professional and ethical rules.”

    The “other” 3 officers are Tue Thao, Thomas Lane, and J. Alexander Keung. They were convicted of murder in both State and Federal Courts after George Floyd died of Fentanyl Overdose.
