  1. Feminist rage fest? The country wide rage fest directed at those who’ve spent the past couple of generations living in fear in El Salvador are still taking their vengeance. A bit out of the regular news cycle as of late, but ongoing nonetheless …

    From Nayib Bukele, newly reinstalled President of El Salvador, a minute video with cretins being led to a new prison.
    https://x.com/nayibbukele/status/1800678011022291266

    “This morning, we transferred more than 2,000 gang members from the Izalco, Ciudad Barrios and San Vicente prisons to the CECOT.
    There they will pay for the crimes committed against our people; cut off from the outside, without the possibility of leaving or ordering crimes from prison ”

    Is the international media still angry about these folks being locked up, possibly forever?
    It’s difficult to argue against the success that El Salvador has had on this front… within the country it’s clear that not too many want to return to the old days.

    1. Wow, Dr Phil. Who knew? I guess he’s from Texas so he would probably support the republican candidate.

      1. He also gave an interview with Joe Rogan about transgendering kids and about Covid. Seems he’s started his own network so he is unfiltered by the msm. https://dai.ly/x8t1tss. I have friends that won’t listen to anything I have to say about these subjects but will listen to Dr. Phil if I send them the link.

      1. Thanks PHPII, my exact thought. I recall in the early 1990s an EC project manager saying “It was all about climate change now” as he relished the gravy train.

    1. We watched the Neil/June vid and echoed a Kristofferson line: “You’ve been readin’ my mail”.

    1. Germans are paranoid about this sort of thing. Anyway, why does it matter of one who makes orks good happens to be Nazi or not? They’re still doing God’s work. Besides, if russians hate Nazis why do they keep using them at the front? It is like with gays. If russians hate gays so much why do they keep sodomizing one another?

        1. Not to the 20K Ukrainian children that you have kidnapped.
          Always true to your Mongol roots.

          1. Nope, the article you posted is typical for you cynical bullshit. What I said is true. Russia has kidnapped close to 20K Ukrainian children. That is a fact, russia is russyfying them, abusing them, brainwashing them deleting their Ukrainian heritage and turning them into russians. This coincidently counts as another aspect of genocide that russians are perpetrating against Ukrainian people and another reason why russia has no right to exists. Part of the motivation for why russia is doing it, is deadbeat demographics. Russia wants white people and since (thankfully) russians rarely breed and since the products of those ignoble unions tend to suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome, russia is seeking outside replacements.

          2. This is what in fact is happening:
            https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/02/23/ukrainian-children-kids-russia-abducted-kidnapped-war-crimes-putin/ (use archive.today if you are running a pop up blocker).
            Another clear illustration of russian bestial nature and vile cynicism.

            Also, many men who were minors and got kidnapped in 2022 have two years later reached age of maturity and have been sent as soldats into meat assaults.

            Also, Ukrainian families who stayed in occupied territories or were refused an escape route to civilization, have been ethnically cleansed form the occupied territories and “resettled” into Siberia. To a gulag in fact. A huge proportion of them have been separated from their children.

            There is nothing more vile or cruel than a russian.

    1. Nazis worship Hitler.
      russians worship Stalin.
      Stalin killed more people than Hitler.
      Stalin killed more russians than Hitler.
      Therefore russians are worse than Nazis.
      FOAD ork,

        1. If russians kill each other it is even better. As russian tend to be a bit of both.

    1. “FOAD ork”

      Gosh, you can’t argue with logic and intellect like that. /S
      The desperation stinks worse every day.

      1. You can’t argue with the preceding logic.

        Nazis worship Hitler.
        russians worship Stalin.
        Stalin killed more people than Hitler.
        Stalin killed more russians than Hitler.
        Therefore russians are worse than Nazis.

        1. “You can’t argue with the preceding logic.”

          You also can’t argue the fact that there are Nazis in the Ukrainian army…yet somehow you still do.

          1. Very few Nazis in Ukrainian army, certainly less than in russian army. This has long since been established. Besides since there are russians in russian army the point it moot.

          2. A nazi is a member of the national Socialist German Workers Party, which no longer exists. Therefore there are no Nazis in the Ukrainian army. Simple logic again.

        2. “A nazi is a member of the national Socialist German Workers Party, which no longer exists. Therefore there are no Nazis in the Ukrainian army. Simple logic again.”

          Simplistic thinking, not logic. Logic would dictate that anyone who accepts and promotes the ideology, symbolism and values of the Nazis IS in fact a (neo) Nazi…party or no party, 1944 or 2024.

          (however, using your logic, there are clearly no more COMMUNISTS outside of China anymore either…so that’s good to know)

      2. “Gosh, you can’t argue with logic and intellect like that. /S
        The desperation stinks worse every day.”

        All the grandiose tales of how the valiant, plucky Ukrainians would soon be driving the defeated Russians into a panicked retreat back across their borders having been exposed as *pure fantasy*, desperation is all he/she has left.

        1. “All the grandiose tales ….”

          Have always been a product of your demented imagination. A strawman that you have been valiantly denouncing ever since you have created them.

          P.S. Even Karaganov (despite all his amusing delusions of grandeur and self contradictions) recently correctly concluded that the war is a loss for russia.

        2. They’ve stopped the Russians from taking their whole country, which given the massive advantage in men and material the Russians have is epic. The Russians should have overrun Ukraine in two weeks and installed a puppet government, and here we are two years later and they have achieved nothing in the past year and a half.

          1. “They’ve stopped the Russians from taking their whole country, which given the massive advantage in men and material the Russians have is epic.”

            Nice straw man. The Russians NEVER WANTED their whole country.

            ” The Russians should have overrun Ukraine in two weeks and installed a puppet government, ”

            And COULD have, if they had chosen to invade with enough troops to do so. But they didn’t. Even if they had manged to take Kiev in the early days of the invasion they would not have held it for long, since Kiev was *not their actual goal*.

            Here, take it from the New York Times:

            “Explosions thundered in the dim light before dawn, minutes after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia cynically declared the start of a “special military operation” to “demilitarize” Ukraine but not occupy the country.”

            Clear enough? Russia now has what they wanted all along (the majority ethnic Russian territories). They are NOT giving it back. They may take a little more as a buffer area.

            “and here we are two years later and they have achieved nothing in the past year and a half.”

            You call capturing over 20% of Ukraine “nothing”? They got exactly what they were after in the first place. And what have the Ukrainians done to stop them?

          2. “Nice straw man. The Russians NEVER WANTED their whole country.”

            Pull another one
            https://www.intellinews.com/russia-s-medvedev-presents-peace-plan-including-complete-surrender-of-ukraine-317022/

            The reality is that russia always wants everything and gets only as much as it can take. Such is the nature of the horde. There is never a limit. In the end of 2021 and start of 2022 Putin was very clear that his ambitions extend all the way to Oder. Then his ambitions got tempered by reality several times and very time they got tempered sock puppets like you revised their expectations and claim that “it was always that all along”.

          3. Freddie’s display of idiocy above is a perfect illustration of how gullible westerners view russia. There is always some false conviction that there is logic and moral justification for russia’s action. That we could compromise and achieve a result that benefits both sides. It is similar lack of understanding as westerners often exhibit towards islam. For russians, display of willingness to compromise is always a sign of weakness. It does nothing but encourages the thugs.

            Westerners need to finally give up the delusion that russia is about anything but cynical opportunism and thuggery. Take for example the lie of “Great Patriotic War” it needs to be buried once and for all. Westerners learned about Eastern Front first from German memoirs and then from russian ones. The myth of russian fierce patriotism and selfless willingness to sacrifice are nested in tales of horror from the Eastern Front. That has literarily never been true. Fear and opportunism is what drives a russian animal in its daily life at home and at the front line. And this has always been the case.

            To paraphrase a Polish proverb: Smack a thug and he will hug you. Hug a thug and he will smack you.

      3. Not desperation. I am against orks having a right to open their snouts in a civilized society. They (like UnbMes) need to be reminded about their status.

  2. $4,000?!? I’d be screaming and bashing sticks on the ground, too.

    Hmmmm… I’ve got mature trees and some fall down. They can come scream and bash sticks at my place for $699.95. And if they book now, a friend can come along at half-price.

    1. “Sorry for this six-week-old post, but I missed seeing it anywhere. Jerry Seinfeld says TV comedy is dead:
      https://globalnews.ca/news/10459213/jerry-seinfeld-comedy-left-pc-comments/

      Mr. Seinfeld is perceptive.”

      He is. Unless he read this particular article after it was published, though, he missed a bit of inadvertent comedy by the Global News ‘reporter’ herself:

      “For Seinfeld, comedy today is about flexibility. He cited a Seinfeld episode in which Kramer hires a group of unhoused men to pull rickshaws through the city.”

      (‘Unhoused’, you say? LOL…exactly on point, Sarah…)

    1. Next, someone is going to claim that some of the unvetted migrants are bringing in drug resistant tuberculosis, drug resistant gonorrhea, measles, smallpox, HIV…

      Wait! That’s me saying that!

  3. It’s probably nothing, but Allied Properties REIT — Canada’s largest office property owner — has been cut to junk status by Moody’s:
    https://financialpost.com/real-estate/property-post/allied-properties-cut-junk-moodys-office-vacancy

    I owned Allied Properties stock up until the pandemic in 2020. It renovates old buildings into cute, upscale-trendy offices that hip-technology and telecommunications companies like. But these corporations have allowed work-from-home. Who wants to work in downtown Toronto anyways?

    1. I invested a lot in REITS twenty years ago, but over time have sold anything that wasn’t residential. Only one I have now is Interrent (IIP), which has done very well over the past twenty years. All it’s properties are apartment buildings. With interest rates maybe coming down it’s cashflow should improve and there is very low vacancy rates. Should be a good buy now.

    1. Thank you for the link. When I read the FBI claims I thought there was something hinky with their numbers.

    1. David – Fortunately there are other banks and most major energy companies are self funded. National Bank is essentially realizing they need to invest in oil and gas. And westerners who own CWB shares are getting $5B back from Quebec to do with as they like.

      1. After my post, I read where CWB shareholders will double their money with the buyout. Quite the deal for them. Hope you’re right about National Bank.

    1. Reader – she will probably get a new job as a Vogue cover girl. Or she could be the new face on the package of a Dr. Ballards product.

      1. When are we going to honesty in advertising and have one of these use the pronoun “it”?

  4. US-Backed Ukrainian Publication Releases New ‘Enemies List’ Including Donald Trump, Ron Paul, Ron Paul Institute, ‘MAGA,’ Hundreds More…

    $490 Million Given To Ukraine Has Been Embezzled Or Stolen
    https://conservativefiringline.com/490-million-given-to-ukraine-has-been-embezzled-or-stolen/

    1. Female swine said no recording devices were used at Coutts when they are normally used in every other circumstance. Sounds like they wanted to make up shit. RCMP are notorious for never telling the truth.

    1. That was really unfair of David Menzies expecting an on the spot answer from the police officer without giving the policeman a chance to consult with his commanding officer in Beijing.
