Well, my plans of blogging a little in the evenings went down the tubes when the hotel wifi refused a connection to my laptop. My apologies, but there’s not much I can do about it We’ll see how the coming week unfolds, but I’ll be at a different fairground in the Chicago area.enc
Again, thanks for your patience. I see yesterday’s RT post has upwards of 150 comments. Maybe Trudeau’s been turfed, maybe you’re just complaining or bored. But the meal will be here soon at this restaurant so my time online is again, brief.
We did win like snot this weekend, so there’s that.

As you may have deduced, I’m out of wi-fi range and the guest bloggers have been invited to pop by. But if they don’t, well- the interweb’s a big place. So is the rest of the world. Get out and enjoy it. I’ll be back to normal scheduled blogging around the 20th.
Be gone, climate dementors! Alarmist gibberish fools no one, alienates all & detracts from valid pollution-reduction/environmental footprint goals
A creature from the world of Harry Potter provides a perfect characterization of the miserable, soul-sucking climate change media narrative. We’ve seen the media lose its collective mind now and then when it gets overexcited and wets its pants at some new trend…Seldom however has the media succumbed in such a broad-based way to a fear-driven narrative as with speculation about what a changing climate might bring. No one believes this stuff anymore, not even dejected climate scientists that generate the ludicrous headlines…Read more

The Gun Ban on the Horizon
Should probably start an office pool on when Trudeau will actually bring in the ban on AR-15 rifles.
Perfect for All SDA’ers
Couldn’t believe it, but it actually exists.
“Enjoy the Decline” indeed.
Leave Your Hat On……..For the Anthem
A sharp eyed teacher tipped off the Sun that the new dress code for the Toronto District School Board calls for students to cover up their nipples, bums and groin areas — but is indifferent when it comes to hats and the anthem.

An excellent discussion, with Douglas Murray.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
A Tesla Model S suffered a total meltdown after being connected to one of the company’s proprietary Supercharger stations in Antwerp, Belgium. While details are scant, local reports state the driver simply went to charge his automobile and returned to a burning wreck a short time later.
How Faking Mental Illness Ruined Dungeons and Dragons
“Now because it is “popular” (and I cannot emphasize that word enough, because it is the PRECISE word that describes people’s use of mental illness) POPULAR to have a mental illness, this means a larger percent of the population are people faking mental illness who don’t have it. And these people then permeate into society, ruining it for the rest of us mentally healthy people.”

More Pavilions At Folkfest
This person says she often feels lonely and isolated, like a foreigner on her own street. Does that make her racist? In the eyes of the chattering-class defenders of the cult of diversity who raged against John Cleese last week, it probably does. Cleese caused a storm when he took to Twitter to reiterate his belief that London is ‘not really an English city anymore’. ‘I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU’, he tacked on for good measure, really driving the Twitterati into moral meltdown. Let’s leave to one side that Cleese is not the best judge of life in London, given he spent his early years in a posh public school in the south west of England and now spends much of his time in the Caribbean. Regardless, he has a point. And his detractors know he does.

Break Them Up
The U.S. government is gearing up to investigate whether Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google misuse their massive market power, sources told Reuters on Monday, setting up what could be an unprecedented, wide-ranging probe of some of the world’s largest companies.
The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, which enforce antitrust laws in the United States, have divided oversight over the four companies, two sources said, with Amazon and Facebook under the watch of the FTC, and Apple and Google under the Justice Department.
With jurisdiction established, the next step is for the two federal agencies to decide if they want to open formal investigations. Results are not likely to be quick. A previous FTC probe of Google took more than two years.

Social Disease
At 3pmET, it appears that Google Cloud (affecting Gmail, YouTube, SnapChat, Instagram, and Facebook among others) mysteriously (and almost unprecedently) went offline.
Maybe it was a warning shot.
