Is the New Boss Not Altogether Different than the Old Boss?

A lifelong criticism I have of Leftists is that they refuse to criticize their own side … ever.

While the Trump Administration is clearly a whole lot better than the Biden Administration, there is growing concern that not all members of his cabinet are paddling the boat in the same America First direction. I don’t trust most political pundits, because I feel that many of them are compromised in one way or another. But I do trust Taibbi & Kirn, Megyn Kelly and also David Freiheit and Robert Barnes. Yesterday’s episode of the latter podcast made me very depressed. Watch a few minutes of this segment and share your thoughts. Is Barnes wrong with his analysis of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi? If so, please explain why.

B.C. MLAs: Perks for Me, But Not for Thee

In these tough economic times, this is truly terrible:

Money is tight for most British Columbians these days. But you wouldn’t know it from the way some politicians are burning through your cash over at the B.C. legislature.

Double dipping on housing allowances, using public money to film faux-documentaries, and big pay packages for superfluous new special advisors are just a few of the most recent examples of your tax dollars getting flushed down the proverbial toilet.

MLAs from all parties quietly voted this week to let themselves rent out rooms in their taxpayer-funded Victoria condos—to each other. The move clears the way to double dip on housing allowances to the tune of almost $52,000 annually.

The policy changes, made at the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, will permit an MLA who owns a residence in Victoria and is already receiving up to $25,983 per year in an allowed “capital city living allowance” to cover their mortgage, to also rent a room in their unit to another MLA, and then draw up to $25,983 in rental allowances from that same colleague.

The double-dip scenario means the MLA would walk away with up to $51,966, depending on the rental agreement and what is determined to be “fair market rent” at the moment.

[Nearly] Live from the Oval Office Today

Today, Mark Carney met Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Here are some snippets:

Could someone please do a wellness check of Andrew Coyne. After seeing Carney’s glowing praise for Trump, did Coyne’s head spontaneously explode?!?

That’s one way to lose an election

Brian Zinchuk: How messing with power pricing will get the  Alberta UCP unelected in a few easy steps. 
Some poor bastards, also known as the Alberta ratepayers and Alberta industry, get to pay those rates. And just as sometimes the wholesale price goes to $999.99 per megawatt-hour now, it will go to $2999.99 per megawatt-hour in 2032. And somebody has to pay that. If you live in Wild Rose country, that somebody will be you.
Oh, and the NDP point out, correctly, that oil prices are a lot lower than the Saskatchewan budget predicted.

Kudos to Elections Canada

I’ve never been a huge supporter of Pierre Poilievre and still am skeptical of his commitment towards ACTUAL positive change in Canada. But what happened to him in the last federal election was a travesty. It was a clear attempt to subvert democracy and was successful in doing so. With the latest byelection, the same approach of flooding the election rolls with hundreds of people was a clear attempt to prevent Poilievre from getting elected once again.

This “legal malfeasance” clearly was a stab in the heart of the credibility of Elections Canada. So, rather than just sit back and do nothing, they actually took action, introducing an adapted ballot with which one had to actually write down the name of the candidate rather than just check a box. This is completely fair, yet fought back against the efforts of the usual suspects. The results will necessarily take longer to tally, but it looks like Poilievre has won a clear majority.

Let’s hope that the past 4 months have given Poilievre time to reflect on how incredibly terrible Canada has become and to what extent the Lieberals and their minions will go to never surrender power. Assuming he becomes Prime Minister one day, we’ll know if he’s serious about actual reform by whether, in his first year in office, he ends all public funding to the CBC and all other journalists, whether he gives all Canadians full free speech rights, and whether he gives the likes of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber a Record Suspension (aka Pardon). Failure to do all of these things will be a clear indication that he’s just another run-of-the-mill CINO and really doesn’t believe in the future of Canada.

“BLM But Now It’s Mexican”

James Lindsay- If you want to understand the pipeline from the LA riots to the planned nationwide Leftist protest this coming weekend, you need to understand “planned spontaneity” and make the case for why it’s all orchestrated and strategic to undermine Trump and America. Here it is in 2 min.

Meme explanation

Scott Adams- …what we’re in is not a protest, but a photo op competition.

Major Disappointment with Trump

Folks on the Left never criticize their leaders, no matter what they do. Their refusal to do so is cult-like and pathetic.

Trump and the Republicans betrayed Elon Musk and the American people when it came to trying to balance the budget.

This outburst here from Trump is beyond pathetic & disgraceful. Unless there is some 4D Chess being played by Trump & Elon together, then I’m very disappointed in Trump acting in such a childish, spiteful manner.
