1. If Trump brings back nut houses,
   the world may never be flat again.

   1. Oh my. Those were good times. One of my all-time favorite albums.

   2. Canada may be offering up a solution for some of them:

      My fellow Americans, do you know any illegals or whacked out liberals? Show them this and offer tips on how to become a refugee in Canada.
      Canadians, just realize that it was one of yours that offered this up and sometimes one needs to do what one needs to do.

      1. Leftists always take on a problem with the full intention to make it into everyone else’s problem.

2. Surprised you guys didn’t pull this off of Instapundit. Stephen Green has an article up on PJ Media here:

   https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/01/22/up-in-canada-theyre-signaling-true-virtue-for-once-really-n4948596

   It includes video of a citizen of Toronto that Brian Lilley posted to X.

   The guy is playing around with land acknowledgements, only instead of referencing one of the Tribes, he acknowledges the taxpayer. It takes place in front of the Budget Subcommittee…and the faces of the politicians are just priceless. They are angry and really want to interupt him, but the gentleman just keep hammering them with facts. You’d enjoy it.

   1. Awesome. Too bad it went over their heads.

   2. It was posted two days ago. See: Not All Heroes Wear Capes.

3. Something a lot of people don’t know: the US Virgin Islands were acquired from Denmark in 1917.

   “the Treaty of the Danish West Indies, in which Denmark sold the Danish West Indies—comprising St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, and numerous smaller islands and rocks—to the United States for $25 million in gold (approximately $614 million today).

   Strategic and financial motivations drove the transaction: the U.S. sought to secure the Caribbean and protect the Panama Canal during World War I, while Denmark viewed the islands as a financial burden.”

   1. They kept the ABCs

   2. Protect the Panama Canal? That’s BS. Puerto Rico is between the Virgin Islands and the Panama Canal and it’s 1000 times bigger.

      1. “It sought to secure the Caribbean”. Puerto Rico is just one island, the US wanted more.

         1. 50 kilometers away? Are you sure it’s not a geographic over-reach?

4. The BBC won’t show this Net Zero explanation.

   1. That was great fun! Apparently AI generated too?

   2. That was funny.

5. More cultural enrichment!
