      1. This is how France has been since at least the ’60s and probably 1793. Learn history.

  1. The piece on Triggernometry is fascinating, especially the statement that political correctness is class warfare.

  2. FWIW

    “Tainted Heroes”

    “A Guest Post From South Africa
    Today we have a guest post from our friend Ernst van Zyl (“Conscious Caracal” on X), Head of Public Relations at AfriForum, in which he introduces a documentary by his colleague Ernst Roets about the dark roots of the ANC. Following that, we’ll close with a brief market note about a recent South African trade we made. ”

    1. Why haven’t the “elbows up” and “Made in Canada” businesses picked up the lost Pride Parade revenue?

  3. Here’s a tour-de-force look at our repressive corporate media:
    https://substack.com/@collapselife/p-164413541

    …from a blog strangely called “collapse life”. The article first discusses that the corporate media are overly concentrated, with a few billionaires controlling the media narrative. The last third of the article is important: it talks about what ordinary folks can do to fight the big media — cutting the cord and supporting small, independent media.

    My wife and I are now ready to cut the cable cord. So we phoned Bell, given its deteriorating service, for quotes to cut or reduce our bill:

    – retain our current cable/land phone/internet package: $195 a month
    – cutting the cable, having only land line/phone internet service: $219 a month
    – “skinny (CRTC mandated cable)”/land line phone/internet: $197 a month

    In other words Bell penalizes consumers who try to reduce cable service. I was the one who meekly accepted these quotes. This week my wife takes over to see uow to reduce our bill.

    1. Drop Bell forever. I did over 20 years ago and will never go back to them even if it was offered for free (which it will never be).

        1. If it comes to a choice between starting up my own billion dollar nation-wide cable company & Telus, I’ll pick the former.

          1. You won’t ‘pick’ anything you’ll just complain and blame the results on ‘globalists’ or something.

          2. No, I’ll start my own company. No globalists wanted, needed nor required. If my experience w/ Telus is any kind of bellwether, I’ll take over the market in less than a year.

          3. Always entertaining when quarter wits try to explain what smart people think.

          4. All intelligent people are ‘globalists’ so good luck with that.

            Ah, yes. Case in point? Our very own sockboy, Juthdin Elbowgate Turdhole. A veritable f’ing genius. Couldn’t find his own ass w/ two hands, a compass & a map.

            BTW, as a non-globalist, I started & ran a successful business for 15 years. Curious, that.

    2. We dropped AT&T landline/ satellite TV subscriptions once everyone in household acquired a cell phone 13 years ago. Customer Service offered poor deals then, too. Went direct to satellite tv vendor at that time. Joined “cut the cord” crowd last July when we bought smart tvs and haven’t regretted decision tho satellite vendor assured us we would and “those prices would be gone forever”.

    3. In other words Bell penalizes consumers who try to reduce cable service.

      Number of years back I let my satellite radio renewal lapse. Hadn’t been using it much & was trying to justify the expense. Couple months later I rec’d a call from some sales rep looking to get me to renew. After the pitch didn’t work, they resorted to, “Well, if you don’t renew now, when you do, you will be charged x dollars on top of the regular fees.”

      I replied, “Well, that doesn’t give me much incentive to ever consider renewing, does it?” I hung up & I’ve never called back.

    1. Reform isn’t ready to govern a chain restaurant and their racist ideas about immigration will end what hope the UK has. Their voters are a bunch of pensioners who marinate on online cesspools…awkward.

      1. Yawn. Also, you said that the (now past) success of the Conservatives in the UK was due to their “kneeling before diversity”. Well, they’ve been doubling down on that ever since they started dropping in the polls and look where that got them? Universal contempt from British people despite having a South Asian and now a sub-Saharah parasite as their leader. As I have said before, the UK Conservatives probably have someone like you as their chief strategist, who insisted that they lost the last election because they weren’t woke enough.

        I don’t know how much of what you write here represents you genuine beliefs, but your contradicting obvious facts is easy to point out by anyone who is intellectually superior to kenji and Flintstone from 20000 BC, i. e. even by a reasonably smart child.

        1. UnMe genuinely hates white people and western civilization. He most likely comes form the a$$hole of Asia aka Indian subcontinent. His mother and father met once, in a public washroom, money changed hands. Daddy was white hence the hatred. He is a condo renting, virgin.

          UnMe is convinced that his rubber stamped, diversity placement MS in (allegedly) biology (first in his family to have grade school) entitles him to claim expertise on economics, history and statistics three areas it knows absolutely nothing about.

          Throughout his unfortunate presence at SDA he made a lot of hilarious claims. My favorite are that mooselimbs invented calculus and that Canada invaded Weimar Republic.

          To his credit is he is right about russia though.

    2. That’s only polls. I don’t think Reform will win the next election; a Lib-Lab coalition is much more likely. But at least the worthless impotent woketarded Tories will be utterly destroyed; perhaps that’ll cause them to stop listening to UnMes in their midst and put conservatism above wokeness.

  4. A lot of Palestine Fans were called nuts for abandoning the Dem part or outright supporting Trump but it turns out they might have been geniuses. Trump is backstabbing Israel like no other!

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-netanyahu-trump-phone-call-on-iran-was-marked-by-heated-disagreements/

    “Trump reportedly telling Netanyahu: “I want a diplomatic solution with the Iranians. I believe in my ability to make a good deal.”

    Leaving the JCPAO was one of the very few good things to come out of his 1st term and now he wants it back and rebranded. LOL. He also sabotages Israel’s war on Hamas and left Bibi out in the cold during his love tour of the Arab Gulf countries. Truly there is no global leader so cucked as Bibi. What an absolute failure and loser.
