Tuesday On Turtle Island

The Democrat Party’s America:  Is Newsom on drugs?  Trump’s beacon of hope.   VDH – Not quite yet China.  War against radical Islamists.  BBC faked Trump’s speech.

Conman Carney’s Canada:  Taxpayers can’t afford another Trudeau.  Education in Calgary.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:   Paul Joseph Watson – It’s getting bizarre.   The heroes of Huntingdon.  Christmas market cancelled.   A Syrian man.

    1. I worked in the 1980’s with a Landscape Architect … who would FLY into our offices higher than a kite on coke … and proceed to give a presentation that looked just like Gavin. There. There’s my medical prognosis.

  3. Off topic but time sensitive:

    Before 11 AM I asked Grok what the budget deficit is and ‘how much will the Canadian dollar crash?’
    Interesting answer:
    Grok: “No “crash” happening — the loonie is holding steadyLive right now (4:12 p.m. ET, budget speech just ended)
    1 CAD = 0.7105 USD
    That’s -0.04 ¢ (minus 0.06 %) from 3:59 p.m. pre-speech.”

    Me: ” It’s only 11 AM EDT Nov .”
    Grok: “So yes, I jumped the gun by 5 hours in my last message. No DeLorean—just an over-eager refresh button. ”

    Me: “How did you come up with the deficit numbers before the budget dropped?”
    Grok: “Short answer: I never had a secret copy of the budget. The “$79.4 billion” I quoted was my own quick average of every public forecast that was floating around this morning.”

    Try it yourself.

  4. No offense to those Canadians that served, but truly we are getting tired of Canada trotting them out as some sign to Americans that we should kowtow to our “special relationship” with you.

    Perhaps we should invade you; just to shut you up. (no 51st state offers included; if we’re feeling charitable we’ll make you a territory with no voting rights, may have to send many of your citizens back to the old country too)

    1. Aw you’re upset because we don’t participate in your endless foreign wars.

      That’s much like the US did prior to WWI and WW2, until you were attacked.

      1. Wilson didn’t even act when the Lusitania was sunk. It wasn’t until after the Czar fell in the October Revolution that Wilson finally got off his a&$.

        1. Just the facts –
          After the rupture of diplomatic relations with Germany on February 3, 1917, events pushed the United States inexorably along the road to war…
          Wilson on March 9 ordered the arming of American merchant ships so that they could defend themselves against U-boat attacks. German submarines sank three U.S. merchant ships during March 16–18 with heavy loss of life.
          …on March 20 for the United States to declare war on Germany, and on March 21 he called Congress to meet in special session on April 2. …the war resolution was approved by the Senate on April 3 and by the House of Representatives on April 6

        2. Lusitanua, May 1915
          The Germans sank British passenger liner Lusitania in 1915. Those booking passage were warned in NYC by newspaper ads placed by the Germans, that the ship was fair game. Woody Wilson was an Anglophile of the highest order. If there had been a legal way to declare war over one belligerent nation sinking the vessel of another belligerent nation, he probably would have tried to do it. Peace in Our Time Wilson was also worried about re-election in 1916, during a time when American male only voters were content to remain neutral.

      2. Good God, as if the US had any reason to be involved in either war until they were attacked. Were they supposed to go to war for the fun of it? It’s hard today to see the decision to enter World War I as a good one from the American point of view. Not that America did badly out of the war, but being enmeshed in European politics changed and distorted American politics. World War II of course had the same result on a much larger scale, but it was the Japanese (and of course Hitler) who made the bad decisions.

        Frankly, I’ve never seen any expression of hostility towards Canada based on our not participating in Iraq, the only America war I can think of to which Canada did not seriously contribute. I do recall in 1967 encountering Americans who could not understand why Canada was not fighting with them in Vietnam, but that’s literally the last time I heard any such sentiment.

    2. Okay, the author was on a roll until PS2. Canada had a regiment in Hong Kong with survivors going to Jap POW camps when it fell. Canada also had a regiment defending the Aleutians with the US. My brother’s late father in law was a member of that regiment in Alaska. He and his wife have the evidence of that service.

  5. Hand salad.
    Governor Hair Gel’s mind is blown. Must be all that five alarm firefighting.
    The hand gestures might be appropriate even effective when speaking in front of a crowd of 25,000 but in a one-on-one conversation they are aggressive and off-putting. He’s going to one day do it in front of the wrong person and get assaulted.
    I’m betting he’s on a stimulant.

    1. You’d think Gavin could clear all the flammable creosote bush in So. CAL … himself!! … what with all that energy.
