    1. Well, I never! What a shocker! /sarc.
      Something that was already common knowledge, Sean, but now we can confirm yet another “conspiracy theory.”

      1. “The higher courts will have the power to nullify all that before the appeal is even heard.”

        Yes, and they will obviously rule in favor of Trump. The credibility of the entire justice system is at stake, and not just in New York.

      2. Allan S – Mark Steyn and Scott Adams both said that Trump has to pay the penalty before he can appeal the verdict. There was no option mentioned to get the higher courts to squash it without doing an appeal.

    1. who gets the money? this is still not crystal clear.
      this ‘no fraud fraud’ case? ‘judgement’ in whose favor?

      like l said to a rabid anti-Trump tenant, its NOT in the interests of ‘democracy’ to allow a handful of legal system players to knock ANYONE off the ballot that has the support of TENS OF MILLIONS OF VOTERS.
      jeezuz jeezuz jeezuz murphy.
      is there a chance the truckers protest turns into a total national strike?

      1. Scott Adams suggested that the tickets could shut down NYC, but I think he concluded that it would not be likely to happen.

  1. French “Democracy” Establishes Medical Tyranny

    Will copycat totalitarian gubmints say Wow, cool, great idea

    The law also creates a new crime called “provocation to abstention from medical care.”  A French citizen is guilty of a crime if the person refuses a vaccine or medical treatment handed down by authorities.  Had the law been in place during the mass vaccination campaign with the deadly mRNA “vaccine,” all who refused would have received three years imprisonment and paid a 45,000 euro fine. This ensures that next time everyone will receive the “vaccine,” because if you refuse you will be imprisoned and the prison rules will require you to be “vaccinated.”

  2. Today Feb 19 was BC Family Day

    Can anything be more egregious than a gubmint working feverishly to destroy the family, rubbing our noses in it in the form of a provincial holiday mostly for gubmint employees.

    1. Aren’t electronic devices just amazing. Yeah that will sure stop car thefts. Closing the barn door after the horse has escaped will not fix the problem. There are hundreds if not thousands of Flipper Zeros out there.

    1. We are completely saturated in dystope. Most people have lived their entire lives in the nightmare and don’t even recognize it for what it is because they’ve been so thoroughly stunted and compartmentalized right from birth.

      “There’s a widespread assumption throughout the western world that while things might not be perfect our society is certainly much better than what people experience in a nation like China, smugly believing ourselves to be a free society full of free thinkers and free people in contrast with those unfortunate thought-controlled communist conformists. In fact western civilization is one giant thought-controlled conformity machine where people’s minds are shaped by mass-scale psychological manipulation far more effectively than anywhere else in the world, exactly because westerners don’t know this is happening and believe they are free.

      Western minds don’t like to be told this, because it goes against everything they’ve been trained to believe about their nation, their society, and their world. Obviously we are much freer here than those poor saps to the east; here in the west we are free to choose between 197 flavors of frosted breakfast cereal and 20,000 different superhero movies. We are free to choose between voting for warmongering capitalist authoritarian Democrats or warmongering capitalist authoritarian Republicans. We are free to sell our labor at a fraction of the value it generates to any exploitative ecocidal employer of our choosing. We are free to think whatever thoughts we’ve been trained to think by our education systems, mass media, and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation. We are free to speak our minds, which have been shaped and conditioned to serve the interests of the powerful and never to say anything that falls outside the Overton window of acceptable opinion.”

      One can be complicit either by force or by choice. Which are you?

      1. MMBB

        You can make the above post in North America.

        Could you make critical posts of China’s leaders in China?

        Or criticize Putin in Russia?

        1. You’d have a point if Meta and Alphabet Inc. weren’t still actively censoring certain points of view, especially anything related to C19, trans freaks and climate.

    1. When will the girls learn to kick the dudes in the nuts? Every frickin’ trip down the floor.

      Better the whole all-girls team fouls out rather than forfeits.

  4. The Bank of Canada thinks that raising interest rates will help bring rent costs under control. How the hell is that possible when the mortgages of the landlords increases with those higher interest rates.

    Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada is happy that Canada’s inflation rate has dropped to 2.9%. Is the inflation rate really under 3% or is it just that we are being told that?

    My feeling is the rate hikes are about to crush mortgage holders and in order to lower them (to soften the crush), governments need to show that inflation is dropping, regardless of the real inflation rate. So look for lower interest rates this year to fix that “sticky” rental rate. And higher food prices. But lower inflation rates.

  5. Do check out Jimmy Dore’s interview with Dr. Kory. Censored on one channel, the other channel has the full interview. Highlight. Deaths of 25-34-year-olds is 100% higher than ‘normal’ according to insurance actuaries and previous data gathered by the ‘medical’ institutions, and said ‘medical’ institutions stated they will no longer be updating these data sets.
