    1. Heck Nazi Pelosi, worth millions, isn’t paying her fair share.

      How she amassed a $120 million fortune on a politicians salary is ‘amazing’.

      https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/indices/JX/pressreleases/28698048/84-year-old-nancy-pelosi-is-worth-120-million-but-she-still-collects-this-much-in-social-security-every-month/

      Even with her wealth and government salary, she still collects $54,660 a year in social security. On top of that she qualifies for a pension worth over $100,000 per year. Plus she could benefit from the Thrift Saving Plan, available to government employees.

  3. I have a pretty good tip that no one in the media, or even in the blogs is commenting on. It’s a bit surreal…

    Iran is offering assistance to California via the Iranian Red Crescent. So far, this has only been reported in overseas Middle Eastern media outlets. I’m providing the English version of the Iran Herald as a link:
    https://tinyurl.com/36zxcbfz

    Obviously, Iran hasn’t all of a sudden turned to benevolent endeavors. It’s a taunt to some extent. The Iranian Red Crescent (their version of the Red Cross) has a curious history inclusive of getting caught moving armaments in their ambulances …that sort of thing. I found this amusing.

    1. C. Black, like some of MSM, often gets it correct, usually about 5 years after the damage is long done & everyone else has already figgered it out. He’s a lot like Brian Lilley in that respect.

      1. I still remember Black’s column expressing support for Trudeau, way back. It was a WTF moment, if Connie had truly lost his mind.
        Even allegedly smart people allow themselves to be caught up in manias.

        1. He has always been a lunatic it just came out completely say a dozen years ago. He just really really like Big Men Doing Big Things or appearance thereof.

          1. Imagine being a koranimal trolling about a rape of a child that you just participated in.

    1. Disappointing, I was like, “hey I gotta block that bitch” … and then I realized the bitch was already blocked.

    2. He was wrong then, and he’s still wrong today.
      There’s a reason why no one listened, and I’m sure that even you could figure it out.

    4. Here is a good link describing the reverend Pike’s mind. Just read the link regarding the basic facts about his wife’s suicide and that she was battling bipolar disorder, and what Pike said and did, without delving too deeply into the religious debate surrounding the basic facts:
      https://backwardstate.com/ted-pike-claims-his-wife-alynn-pike-was-murdered-by-satan-and-she-was-possessed-by-de mons/

      His wife’s suicide took place in 2011.

      Note that the above link works OK.

    1. I think the next government should leak Trudeau’s income taxes, including the form where you list your foreign holdings.

      It would be interesting to see if the value of Trudeau’s trust fund exceeds the assets of Nancy Pelosi. I suppose it could all be due to book deals, eh Obama?

      And yes I know leaking would be illegal, but as Sir Humphrey Appleby says, they could have a full leak inquiry.

      1. I cannot say this the truth but I had read that his trust had climbed to about the 500 million since he was elected and most came from off shore.

    2. Milly Bike
      Some times the truth is not what you want or like, some times it’s just the truth. When Jewish pundits call out AIPAC, I listen, and they have been doing that for years now. So STFU and get some facts before opening your ignorant pounder pie hole.

      1. Oh look! Another Jew hater.
        We know you’re insane so it’s best you not comment on anything any more and seek psychiatric help.

    1. “[snort] MAGA? PP? Not even in the same county, let alone ball diamond…

      Meet Canada’s “MAGA” Prime Minister Candidate: Pierre Poilievre ”

      I didn’t even get past the sub-headline “Remind you of anyone?”

      No, not at all. Donald Trump being ‘America first’ would never allow a small group of dairy producers in the US to monopolize the system and deliberately restrict production in order to keep prices *three time higher* than they would otherwise be. This would hurt poor people and the lower middle-class the most, for the sole purpose of higher profits for the producers…Trump wouldn’t stand for it.

      He would also not stand for the entire Republican Party voting to label all Americans as guilty of genocide over a century-old effort to help native populations integrate into the general US population.

      And he wouldn’t look the other way as his opposition made efforts to ban private gun ownership, either.

        1. “Too bad you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Canada imports $1.5 billion dairy products and exports $0.5 billion. That’s a huge trade deficit in dairy products.”

          That’s nice. How is that relevant to my point about monopolies and predatory pricing?

  21. I don’t read a lot from ET, I can’t justify a subscription. The little I have read is usually on the mark. They are way off base here, however. The only idiots who are offended by the entire 51st state thing are those who are so stupid they don’t realize that Trump is trolling the hell out of them: politicians, public figures & [spit] Progs. BIRM…

    After Years of Self-Inflicted Erasure of the Canadian Identity, ‘51st State’ Push Serves as a Wake-Up Call

    1. On Target.
      Heads exploding everywhere for the existing self-identified elitist class in Canadastan.
      Example#1, Garth Turner. Check out his blog, despite calling himself a “conservative”, he is a progressive of progressives, with a terminal case of TDS.
      NOBODY is as smart as ol Garf, NOBODY. Being an MP wasn’t good enough, he was smarter than Flaherty and Harper, dontcha know? It was everyone else’s fault when he wasn’t re-elected, sound familiar to another recently about to be resigned eastern MP? He riffs and snarks on everybody that he doesn’t agree with, practicing intolerance and banning others as often as possible, yet, he berates anybody and everybody else for THEIR intolerance.
      He’s a hypocrite of hypocrites, but he’s no different than the entire eastern Canadian Laurentian elite leftists that predominate too much of Canadian society. They see themselves as far above the rubes in the west.
      Pathetic excuses and examples why this country is doomed to further progressive BS yet to come.

      1. Garth Turner. There’s a blast from the past. Haven’t thought about him in a looooong time.

        And, agreed on all points.

  24. The Conservatives should apply common sense to cannabis policy

    https://financialpost.com/opinion/opinion-conservatives-common-sense-cannabis-policy?tbref=hp

    “To do that, the Conservatives must first ignore the cheap political urge to simply be “against” cannabis. They need to treat it like other recreational substances, such as beer. In fact, from a public health perspective, non-smoked oral consumption of cannabis is safer than drinking alcohol.”

    It’s a smart idea so they won’t do it.

    “The Red Cross is raising a lot of money for California fire victims.

    Does anyone else remember when they raised $500 million for Haiti, built six houses, and stole the rest of the money?”

    https://x.com/notalexsheppard/status/1878403546212651141

    Haiti is also where Laura Silsby, friend of the Clintons, was collecting kids. Haiti seems to get a lot of attention from famous people for some reason.

  27. an off topic blast from the past. A message from 1947 Britain. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyk344depyo
    One of the comments was on rationing so I asked when rationing came off in Britain? 1954
    Next I asked when rationing ended in West Germany? 1950
    So rationing lasted some 4+ years longer in Labour ruled Britain (ended by conservatives) than in destroyed Germany who couldn’t afford luxuries like socialism. The equal sharing of miseries.

    “STOCK MARKET IS RIGGED
    Most people don’t understand what this means because they just get their statement for their 401K and think it’s down but it will come back up.
    Unfortunately these big players are playing a very dangerous game with our money not their’s.
    We have zero representation to stop blatant and out of control crime.
    We need to wake as many people up as possible. Because this isn’t just our securities they are doing it to.
    They control price and price movement on every single security.”
