  1. Hockey. 1976. Yeah the year my beloved Oakland Seals folded. But hey! At least we had Gilles Meloche …

    Most losses by a goaltender – Gilles Meloche (140)

    1. I thought they all drove electric cars, no? So what’s the problem?? Oh right, solar and wind not reliable…

    2. I truly do not care! This is all so predictable! I am just surprised that no one (especially the politicians) in California are able to “connect the dots”.
      As to a military crisis, I am sure that the American federal government has contingency plans ONLY for the naval bases in San Diego and elsewhere along the Pacific Coast. It will be a case of “fuel for our ships and planes, but not for thee, Mr. and Mrs. California!”

      1. I used to think so, but having seen the shit-show in Iran, I’m no longer believe the US military is capable of planning a trip to the local store to buy a packet of Rothman’s.

      2. The problem is the bases are supplied and supported by local businesses. If those businesses run out of hydrocarbons the bases stop getting supplied.

    3. Hey! This is a serious CRISIS here in CA! How is my gardener gonna mow my lawns!? And everyone else’s lawns in CA? ohhhh … but we aren’t supposed to have lawns, or use gas powered tools, or drive trucks with equipment on them. So it’s all good! Trump is doing CA better than our supermajority leftist government has been doing CA.

    1. ha ha ha !!!
      well. my caring mutherrrr solved THAT one for me. lm 2 weeks away from moving out anyway, she CANT STAND the idea and kicks me out. robbed me of the ‘rite of passage’. she also hurled me down a flight of stairs for dusting the trim the wrong way and committed sexual abuse more than once. great parending (get it? LOL) skills

    2. Here’s an idea. Keep the US blockade intact for a couple more months. Force Iran into complete bankruptcy. When nobody gets paid, or find more than a handful of pistachios to eat … there will be Revolution in the streets … and radical Islam will be DONE in Iran.

      As if Iran is in charge of the straits. Puhleeze. Trump has closed it. Keep it closed. Make the EU and NATO feeeeeeel the pain of their pro-Iran policies.

      PS … no description, video, or evidence of the IRGC “attack” on the tanker whatsoever … just the claim … repeated by a garbage media outlet.

      1. Those of us who know and remember history, and know exactly the practices of Iranians and Muslims, know they lie constantly.
        Anyone who believes the Iranian media, or the American leftist media has rocks in their head.
        Shame to see SDA contributors fall for the Iranian BS.

      2. “Make the EU and NATO feeeeeeel the pain of their pro-Iran policies.” Lie about where people stand to justify your own ineptitude. Sounds about right. You must have your head up Trump’s butt so far all you can see and hear is his propaganda. The Trump administration bungled this war from the very start. First we were told it would be 2-3 weeks, then 2-4 weeks, we are now in week 6 and the fighting continues. America’s allies in the Middle East have been bombed because there were no plans to protect them. The strait was closed and America’s friends suffer because there was no plan to keep it open. And you gloat over other people’s suffering.

        It’s been said many times on this site that only leftists rejoice in causing and watching the suffering of others. You may want to take a look in the mirror and figure out why you relish the thought of others suffering.

        1. Such BS it’s hard to find where to start.
          Nothing was “bungled”. Dozens of key leaders, hundreds of key military sites and thousands of missles were destroyed within days.
          Other Arabian countries should have been prepared. That’s on them. Not the USA. That’s why they have purchased US weaponry.
          And to hell with the Chinese and Eurotrash(France, Spain Great Britain etc).

        2. You sound as though you actually WANT the #1 exporter of Terrorism to continue to ply its trade … along with all of its foul proxies. Oh well … I’m well aware there are billions of your type in the world … who celebrate the murder of innocents … in the name of Allahu Akbahr or something.

  7. The City of Mississauga and Ridgeway Plaza reach a deal to prevent “nuisance gatherings”.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/city-of-mississauga-ridgeway-plaza-owners-new-agreement-9.7165496

    The CBC link shows a photo of a Pakistan Independence Day celebration.

    “The complaints had to do with noise, gatherings involving thousands of people, illegal patios, illegal use of moveable BBQs, illegal fireworks, littering, garbage and debris, fights, aggressive behaviour, dangerous driving of vehicles in the parking lot, street racing nearby, and difficulties getting in and out of the plaza safely, it said.”

  8. Yet some idiot will note, “See? Peer review does work! The paper got pulled.”

    Yeah, 15 years after it was published. And cited how many hundreds (thousands?) of times? And how many other papers on the same topic?

    What’s the deal with Alzheimer’s disease and amyloid?

    At the end of last month, a scientific journal pulled a research paper on Alzheimer’s disease.

    The retraction came from Neurobiology of Aging, which removed a 2011 paper claiming to show that a version of a protein called amyloid-β was responsible for memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease. On its own, that might not seem notable; bad papers can make it through peer review and are only caught after publication.

    But this wasn’t an isolated case. Over the past few years, multiple studies arguing that amyloid-β is the central driver of Alzheimer’s disease have been retracted. Some scientists have even been indicted for fraud over the issue. All the while, none of the drugs targeting this protein and its pathway have had any real clinical effect.

    1. Correlation is not causation. (An oldie but a goodie).
      A lot of us are long past believing pharmaceuticals actually do what it’s claimed they do.

  9. Prog screams are music to my ears.

    The EV De-Transition Accelerates as Volkswagen Permanently Cancels EV Production in the U.S.

    “Phileas Fogg of ‘Around The World In 80 Days’ might be impressed. I’m not. This isn’t 1872. Heck, the Pony Express was able to get mail from Missouri to Sacramento in only 10 days. In 1860. On horseback. But Volkswagen is very excited about their electric cars. With 21st Century technology they are able to make what was once a 4-day drive with quick and easily-available refueling, into a multi-week ordeal where you must obsess about fuel availability.”

    1. I saw some stupid comment today by some stupid, forgettable, person that he hoped the high gas prices will boost the sale of EV.

      1. I can see EVs becoming commuter cars medium to large cities, but i can’t see them being used as primary transportation method in towns or rural areas.

    1. He talks about jobs and houses, two things GenZ and younger Millennials stay up at night thinking about.

    Breaking. A Tousi TV team has been arrested in Macron’s France. Five members have been arrested, without charges being laid, while they were producing a documentary on illegal migrants planning to sail from Cailwis, France, to the U.K.

    A lengthy discussion on this is playing on Tousi TV on YouTube.
