    1. Immigrants should not be allowed to collect welfare or child support payments.

      1. Exactly. I thought they keep a second sample. Test it in a different lab. If they are Chinese they are cheating.

  1. The Best Question I’ve Heard About Ukraine: “Where’s All The Video?”

    But now think about Ukraine.
    Have you EVER seen any actual war footage?
    After what, 3 years?
    And so many billions “donated” that I lost count…..
    If this war is so big, where is all the video of the battles?
    I can’t recall seeing even ONE, can you?
    In today’s day and age, there are video cameras EVERYWHERE.  Worldwide.
    If something happens, you’ll get 10 different camera angles of it uploaded to Twitter within 5 minutes.
    But a 3-year Ukraine/Russia war?
    I just spent 20 minutes searching Twitter and I found almost nothing.
    Try it for yourself.

    1. I’m sure there is a ton of war footage out there. Showing it on the popular social networks will get you punted.

    2. Frankly, I spend so much time with my head up my ass that I’ve learned not to get too excited by what I can’t see.

    3. @alan

      Apparently if you don’t get your Ukraine news from the BBC, CBC, NYT, Time Magazine, MSNBC or the girls on The View, then it’s just Russian propaganda.

    1. They are now trying to claim Abe Lincoln was of black ancestry. Not that I care, but why is this necessary? Plus “good morning” actually means “good mourning” as in we killed your black slaves last night. We are being inundated with false information trying to rewrite history.

      The new CEO of NPR claims we all experience the truth in our own way and that maybe America’s first amendment is getting in the way. Of what I’m not sure. Her truth?

      It’s painful. She’s trying to fix disinformation as the former head of Wikipedia.

    1. Still a decent time waster. The Left of 1972 would not recognize the Left today, except for their tactics.

  2. “Calgary halal grocers and wholesaler shut down by Alberta Health Services over sales of inspected meat”
    Warning! CBC / Reddit link
    https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/comments/1ca9gps/calgary_halal_grocers_and_wholesaler_shut_down_by/

    CBC and Reddit link, I don’t have a Reddit account and can’t add commentary there, or even copy paste the commentary, but the first comment from “artwithapulse” shines a bit of light on the problem… you don’t need an account to read this.

    Halal inspected = oversight by someone approved by the church of Moe, and they’re not even doing the minimum?
    Think about that when you see the halal sign in a store. Well at least it’s not “deadstock” … right?

  3. “The Israeli prime minister has a history of encouraging Washington to get involved in Middle Eastern conflicts.

    Once again, the Middle East is on the brink of full-scale war. The tit-for-tat exchanges between Israel and Iran are increasing the risk that the United States will get sucked into another Middle East war. As such, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s longstanding efforts to get Washington to attack Tehran—combined with new incentives amid Israel’s war in Gaza—are cause for major concern”

  4. Interesting: Brand Traffic ranked by social media.
    1) Meta
    2) Tik-Tok
    3) YouTube
    4) Snap
    5) Pinterest
    6) X
    Could the sudden interest in TikTok be something other than China? Like money?

  5. “Rockwood Mom earns $970 a day doing nothing”.

    Yes, but you have to get elected first.
