How on earth could we have seen St. Louis’ collapse coming?
Let Us Pay Homage To The Las Vegas Nostradamus
“I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.”
While homosexual is now a term you must avoid using, GLAAD wants you to be familiar with a whole bunch of made-up terms, like allosexual, gynesexual, and pansexual. I don’t know what any of those mean. I don’t care and won’t even bother sharing their definitions with you because I most certainly won’t legitimize this nonsense by learning them.
There’s also a term in the glossary called Same-Gender Loving.
I won’t bother with that one, either.
“He was turning his life around.”
The suspect’s brother stated: “He’s a good guy. They can’t tell me he had a machete and tried to cut people throat. Nah, he ain’t like that.”
Deep Impact
By the numbers. Read it all.
The Pew Research Center reported on November 10, “Newspapers are a critical part of the American news landscape, but they have been hit hard as more and more Americans consume news digitally. The industry’s financial fortunes and subscriber base have been in decline since the mid-2000s, and their website audience traffic has begun to decline as well.”
Let us fact-check that. The total circulation of all newspapers in the United States is 20 million. That is one newspaper sold for every 16 people. Even if 3 people read each newspaper, that means more than 80% of the country does not read a newspaper.
Just 14 years ago circulation was 45 million.
Online readership for the top 50 newspapers topped 13 million in 2020 and slid below 9 million two years later. Perhaps the return of President Trump to the ballot in November will restore the 13 million but even then newspaper circulation in print and online will reach only 33 million.
Pew Research Center also reported, “The total estimated advertising revenue for the newspaper industry in 2022 was $9.8 billion, based on the Center’s analysis of financial statements for publicly traded newspaper companies. This is down 5% from 2021, a slight drop. Total estimated circulation revenue was $11.6 billion, compared with $11.5 billion in 2020.”
A drop of only 5%?
Adjusted for inflation, that’s a big deal.
It took them long enough, but it seems the New Yorker has finally caught up with SDA.
Happy Birthday
To a Canadian icon.
Sun- Nice thing about free speech is we can say this: Happy 90th birthday, Don Cherry!
This may be the most important part of what the Cherry saga exposed. There is a double standard in Canada, where conservatives are not allowed to express their views the same way as progressives.
Some can wear blackface or fire a female Indigenous cabinet minister who won’t break the law to protect the government or call people names far worse than using the words “you people” and yet keep rolling.
Free speech, not coaching the Boston Bruins, is what defined Cherry and why he was so popular. In the end, he showed there is only freedom of speech tolerated if it’s allowed by the mob, and he went out with his head held high because he did not buckle to their pile on.

We have now informed the Government that when the law takes effect, we unfortunately will have to remove links to Canadian news from our Search, News and Discover products in Canada, and that C-18 will also make it untenable for us to continue offering our Google News Showcase product in Canada.
