  1. A couple things happened today that the media is shying away from:

    Germany: The CDU and the AfD voted as a bloc and passed a new immigration bill in Germany that allows deportations, refusals at the border and various other statutes that are anti-open border.

    Russia: Today Putin clarified that he would gladly sit down to work out a peace plan with Ukraine as long as it doesn’t involve Zelenskyy. Per Putin, Zelenskyy is an illegitimate leader in Ukraine since he cancelled elections and remained in power.

    1. It is not for Pootin to decide who is a legitimate leader of Ukraine. Also Pootin is not a legitimate leader of russia as russia is not a legitimate country. Finally, when Pootin talks of “peace plan” he talks of Ukrainian surrender.

  2. Re: National airport crash.
    Inexplicable flight path from helicopter that was supposedly not responding to the towers stupidly vague instructions.
    This is tragic.

    I’ll note that if the pilot was correcting course to collide, it would look quite similar and the helicopter was too high. (based on many many casual observations of the mostly controlled mayhem that is National Airport airspace.)
    Adding this: From a mile plus this jet was plainly visible. (Zoomed version)

    1. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the actions of the helicopter pilot were deliberate. From what I’ve seen in the grainy video, it appears that the helicopter pilot could have evaded the collision. Instead, it appeared that the pilot flew directly into the jet with no indication that the pilot tried to evade it.
      I’m merely making a suggestion based on my instincts and the info available so far… clear night, jet plainly visible with landing lights on… Even if air traffic control’s instructions were “muddied”, the pilot of that helicopter should have been able to plainly see what was in front of him/her.
      Perhaps the pilot was a transgender, who found out that he was being drummed out? Ok… that may be going a bit too far out on the limb, so let’s wait and see what the investigation results are.

      1. The footage I have seen and the recording I heard with ATC also fits human error of ATC agreeing with the copter pilot that they would use visual control to go behind the incoming jet, but the copter pilot actually thinking they were talking about the outgoing jet whose path the copter WOULD have safely crossed if not for the other plane.

        Need more details of course.

  3. American NGOs, responsible for the mass immigration nightmare, have had their funding cut off. They’re screaming like the pigs they are. They have been responsible for guiding the illegals from Central America through Mexico on the gravy train.
    NGOs are a 5th column against western civilization, acting as an arm of the Bidihn administration. No more.

    1. My understanding is that a big player amongst these NGOs is Catholic Charities: https://donate.catholiccharitiesusa.org

      It appears that they’ve been deeply engaged in human trafficking.

      As someone raised Catholic, I’m disgusted by this behaviour. Clearly they’ll wrap themselves in the cloak of Christianity and “What would Jesus do?”, but this is merely cover for SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

      1. As someone who is committed to the Catholic faith, I agree, and I am also totally disgusted.

        I am also disgusted that churches are supporting “development and peace” which still, despite it’s claims of being a Catholic charity, is anti-life.

        There’s a whole lot of corruption within the church, and the rot starts at the top in the Vatican.

        But please, and this is especially for you, GYM… DO NOT CONFLATE the faith itself with those who are currently leading it.

    2. The World Relief Chicago office chief lamented on local legacy news that his office was forced to call the illegals here to inform them that the flights their equally illegal families were to board in the 3rd world had been CANCELED.

    1. Well now…
      I seem to recall many moons ago where I said that PP will lose ground if the turd resigns, which was precisely the reason why I suggested that he stay on.
      Unfortunately, we got the worst of both worlds. The Lie-berals get a bump, as the stupid Canuckistanians actually believe the turd has “resigned,” but not realizing that the Turd is still the PM!
      And as such, the turd prorogues parliament so that nothing can be said against the party, and the turd, until parliament resumes after a new leader is selected, probably Carney, making him the first UNELECTED PM in Canuckistan history.
      What could happen next, you ask?
      1- Trump imposes his threatened tariffs, sparking an economic crisis.
      2- The tariffs throws the Canuckistan economy into a tail-spin recession
      3- Carbon-tax Carney declares an economic emergency, prompting the liberals to postpone the election.
      4- As more workers lose their jobs, the government steps in to bribe them with “support,” using something like a UBI program.
      5- Canadians get fooled once again thinking that the lie-berals are on their side with their “support,” and re-elect the lie-berals with a brand new mandate after the lie-bs actually decide to call an election… that being, of course, after the UBI-like program is in place, and more and more Canuckistanians become more dependent on big (re: socialist) government, as the entire population’s standard of living drops like a rock, and the people settle on a life of permanent servitude to the state… just like the old Soviet Union!
      The only fly in the ointment in step 3 is that CT Carney needs a 2/3 majority vote in parliament to officially declare an emergency. Speculation is that would be difficult, because hopefully the cons won’t fall for it. Then I can imagine the government, and the media, blaming the conservatives for “not putting Canada first!”

      We’re done, folks. Unless these stupid Canuckistans finally wake up in time to avoid the trap that’s being laid out for them, we’re going to get spoon-fed socialism for generations to come.

      1. Carney has to be elected to a seat to vote in the house of commons. He can become the party leader but he still has to be elected to a seat to vote or be seated in the house.

        1. Carney can become Prime Minister with no need to be seated in the House of Commons. He might likely not seek a seat until he calls a general election. If he waits too long to run, it’s bad politics.

          1. He cannot vote in the house unless he has been elected or given a freaking riding seat. End of f ing discussion.

      2. FC – agreed. I saw a poll that 82% agree with fighting and dollar for dollar tarrif institution – without an effort to settle this. We really don’t have a legitimate government to represent us. Of course it should come as no suprise given the level of compliance fear and lies generated during covid.

      3. If we are speculating today I will say Trump doesn’t go through with the tarrifs and if he does it will be a few meaningless ones and further PP wins the next election going away. See what happens?

  4. At around the 15 to 20 minute part of the potatoe video the narrator states that when it was first introduced to china it was called “ Tudoe”. Meaning bean of the earth. I think coupled with the Chinese difficulty pronouncing letter “R” may well be the reason they call Trudeau the little potatoe. Lol

  5. “The U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, based at Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, was conducting a training flight when it collided with a civilian passenger plane”
