  1. Looks just like the drivers in the Tampa Bay area in Florida.

    My favorite bumper sticker that should be on every car there:

    Using your turn signal is not “Giving information to the enemy.”

      1. It damned well should be.
        I cannot believe this Country would let this “creature” out of jail.
        Unbelievable…

        LIFE should mean just that.

        1. If you’d stop picking on him, he might change. Oh, what am I thinking? He’s Pickton whatever you do…

  2. Robert, here’s a video for a slow news day. It’s “How an 18th Century Sailing Battleship Works”

    It’s 25+ minutes and I usually bump the speed up a bit for the longer videos. The dang thing was so fascinating that I got to the end and found I had left it at normal speed the whole time. Give it 2 or 3 minutes and you’ll be hooked.

    1. Thank you. I’ve added it to the Reader Tips playlist for next month. I also just subscribed to the Animagraffs channel as it’s very interesting!

    2. Am reading “The Sea Warriors” by Richard Woodman, accounts of The Royal Navy from late 1700’s into 1800’s.
      Strategy was pound the opponent till they “drop the colours”. Sieze the ship, repair, rename, reintroduce as RN “BoatyMcBoatface”.

  3. “France claimed that Russia threatened to shoot down its aircraft patrolling the Black Sea. French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said the threat was issued to French planes guarding the international space last month. The French Minister said Russia was returning to a “particularly aggressive” posture and warned that Moscow’s behaviour reminds of the former Soviet Union during the cold war. Watch for more.”

    1. Why was a French surveillance plane flying in the Black Sea? Surely France isn’t at war with Russia?

      1. For the same reason other including russians and chicom planes fly over international waters.

        Orcs need to be carefully surveilled, bullshit spin in YW’s typical shitstain times orc cheerleading video aside. NATO should have long since establish a modern day Legion Condor/Flying Tigers, supply them and start cleaning up the skies over Ukraine. They can do it with practical immunity. And no, no matter how many times you wet your depends there would not be a nuclear war over this just like there wasn’t over a dozen other red lines orcs have drawn.

    2. Maybe the F’ing French and everyone else in NATO aught to back the F off… These Warhawk Morons continue to be aggressive and if push comes to shove we could find ourselves in a Nuclear war.

      NATO has ZERO Business in Eastern Europe.
      Never did.
      Nothing but MIComplex – NEO-Con War mongering.

      1. Sure, another hundred+ million people deserve to languish under the Siberian Mongol boot because that would make you comfortable. They’re just dirty easterners, civilization start at Oder, right?. FOAD. Expansion of NATO was one of the greatest gains for freedom in human history.

        It is russia that needs to be dismantled once and for all, so people from Finland to Japan don’t need to deal with russian threat or stench. General Patton was right, Von Neumann was right.

      2. A massive new sanctions package has been announced against Russia: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68380251
        Not sure if this is number13 or 14. Last package included an embargo on selling knitting needles to Russia. Apparently, the latest package includes an embargo on selling Russia those little round rubber knobbies that go on the ends of the drawstring on raincoats. The economy will soon be in tatters!

        1. Orconomy is already in tatters. Ask yourself why do orcs need to import sewing needles in the first place? Hint: for the same reason they need to import most ball bearings.

  4. “The fall of Avdiivka, despite massive western arms aid, has rattled the Ukrainian regime. A Ukrainian MP has now claimed that Kyiv needs nuclear weapons to confront Russia. The statement was made by Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko after Avdiivka’s capture. He even pressed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the issue at the Munich Security Conference. Watch this report for more”

        1. scarp
          More fer yah
          “General Wesley Clark, a key figure in NATO’s history, is seen discussing his involvement with billionaire financier George Soros in Ukraine back in 2014. Clark’s revelations provide an unprecedented glimpse into the covert operations and strategies deployed in the region, which have long been subject to speculation and debate.”
          Try keeping up wood jah!

          1. Watch the movies Ukraine Burning and Ukraine on Fire (which has become difficult to watch on the web – surprisingly

    1. Meanwhile back in the real world:
      The fall of Avdiivka, occurred because of the shortage of western aid not “despite massive western arms aid”. None got rattled, it was a well organized withdrawal despite some localized confusion. Yes, orcs got to murder some wounded who got could not have been evacuated in time and took a few prisoners, several of them orcs murdered too. Such is war against savages. Still, given the scale of operation it was pretty well done. Azov Brigade has again proven an extremally effective force, two battalions inserted themselves right into the middle of fight and covered the withdrawal. The city was under siege for close to a decade (!). Overall russian loses in equipment are counted to have been literarily more than ten times Ukrainian loses in the last quarter. Loses in personnel were probably around six to seven times the Ukrainian loses in the last quarter as well. Another Bunker Hill like Bakhmut, except that this time the withdrawal was timed much better and there was, much less street fighting that caused majority of Ukrainian casualties in Bakhumt. Possibly the biggest mistake Ukrainians made was not setting up anti air ambushes with FrankenSAMs earlier than they did. Still at least four more russian aircraft were eliminated in the last few days.

      Also, a Ukrainian MP has brought back the fact Ukraine should have never given up her nukes.

    2. And it looks like orcs just lost another AWACS and an Su-34 to boot. What’s the unit price on A-50? Half a billion?

      EDIT: possibly an A-50 and two Su-34s… developing.

  5. “David Ivry was in the war room during almost every critical juncture of Israeli defense. Now, in his 90th year, with the country in perhaps its worst crisis ever, the former air force commander, deputy IDF chief of staff and ambassador to Washington is ready to get down to brass tacks

    David Ivry is worried. “We are entering a war of attrition,” he says”

    https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-02-23/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/israels-existential-threat-is-from-within-a-pillar-of-israeli-defense-tells-all/0000018d-d14b-d74b-addf-d77bd0250000

    Ukraine is a preview of Israel.

    1. Macaulay, WAFI. He coulda had a shot of 20 lobsters… being served to Malaysian officials and business honchos at a dog and pony event. Caption that with something like, “Making inroads into new markets for one of Canada’s premier export items” or some such.

      But noooo. Just him munching on lobster and a line that he’d be talking with unspecified “someones’ during the week.

      The only way out of this is if Macaulay brings back a signed commitment for new or increased Malaysian lobster imports of Canadian lobster.

      That picture says “I’m eating the bacon” not “I’m bringing home the bacon”. Tone deaf, indeed.

    1. No surprise there STEVE.
      The Trudeau Govt has been licking the butthole of Islam since 2015…
      Their often commentary stating that Anti Semtitism is worng…is a BLATANT Lie. Their Actions(lack thereof), re the mass protests over the GAZA thing prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

      These Filthy LIBERAL Scum are IMO nothing short of NAZI’s

    1. Just checked David, bylaw passed. Councilors are distraught. The flags and crosswalks are to be non rainbow.

    2. Fabulous.
      Go WESTLOCK Alberta.
      Watch as other small towns begin the identical process.

      The Difference between Alberta and Prince Edward Island (earlier SDA Subject), demonstrates CLEARLY, that Alberta Must leave this Cesspool of Progressive Woke Evil.

    3. The mayor and council of Westlock, however, are degenerates trying to defeat to vote. If scanner/tabulators are used we know what the result will be.

  6. They used to dump radioactive waste off the coast of California near Los Angeles. Hospitals mainly. Luckily they aren’t mining companies or the fines would be bankrupting. Not just radioactive but also DDT (Montrose Chemical Corp).

    https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-02-21/radioactive-waste-ocean-dumping-los-angeles-coast

    If you look at the most toxic dump sites (super fund sites) in the USA they are located around larger population centers and not around mining towns.

  7. Winnipeg looks to rename major waterway the “Brown River”, might rename town Winnipoop.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-sewage-leak-pump-1.7122802

    Provincial politician wants Winnipeg to pay $900 million for all that poop. City doesn’t have it.

    “The city has 46 sewer crossings and 34 water crossings all of which are considered “high-risk,” due to the difficulty of monitoring, assessing and repairing them. The city has assessed these assets for more than 20 years, and those assessments are used in capital project planning, Driedger said.”

    Poop has to go somewhere.

    1. How about removing all the water and then using C-17s to ship what’s left and dump it in Somalia?

      Heaven knows they already ship theirs here.

    2. Perhaps it will become like that town in South Africa which used to be a major tourist destination! Now because of the poor leadership/maintenance of the water treatment plant, there are rivers of sewage and the smell is extreme – not a tourist destination anymore.
      Quelle surprise! Reminds me of the native reserve which I travelled through as a shortcut when I lived in Calgary and was visiting family in Regina. The shortcut turned an 8 hour drive into a 7.5 hour drive, but you had to drive through the reserve.
      And the “First Nations” (who get their money from the Canadian government) wonder why most Canadians have so very little respect for them.

    1. I watched a Tucker session where he had Brett Weinstein on (DarkHorse Podcast). Brett had travelled to Panama checked out the Darien Gap as well as a number of resettlement camps in the area. Most folks doing this trek to the US border were fairly talkative.

      However he came a cross another large camp and it was full of Military aged CHINESE men who for the most part were openly belligerent & would not speak with anyone…

      Seems to me these guys are Invaders…melting into America to create Terror Cells. No surprise, here in Canada we invite them in. No one can tell me that all those supposed Chinese “students” are here to learn…??

  8. The UK government data collectors have just changed their methodology in calculating ‘excess’ deaths and presto, all of the sudden they are way below expected ‘excess’ deaths for 2023. Campbell has a video up.

  9. Lynx bankrupt and shutting down Monday. Create the problem. Demand those affected by your government’s damaging policies to fix it.

    “Canada’s transport minister said he’s thinking of those who are affected by the news.

    “For any travellers that had a return flight booked with Lynx, I expect Lynx to help you get back home as soon as possible,” Pablo Rodriguez said in a statement posted on social media. “I expect Lynx to fully refund you if your fare won’t be honoured.”
