Tell Me How You Vote, Without Writing A Big Red “L” On Your Forehead
Odd experience last night. Was with some people who were talking to another person. One of the people in our group made a political comment the other person didn’t agree with. So the person abruptly put on a mask.

Another of Trudeau’s Bio-Fascist Bureaucrats on Display
When people wonder how the whole Nazi Germany “machine” was able to operate as efficiently as it did, many historians have pointed towards the legion of bureaucrats who faithfully “followed orders” without ever questioning any of them. Though not to the same degree yet, do you think this small-minded passive aggressive bureaucrat at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, is questioning ANYTHING he does at work?
Sunday On Turtle Island
Woke Britain: JK Rowling defends 16 year old girl. The regressive progressives. And ballet is racist.
Trudeau’s Canada: Gender reveal party for 8 year old. Joe Rogan calls Trudeau a dictator. Praise Allah! Dear Leader yesterday spoke at a major Muslim convention in Bradford Ont. He of course ranted about Islamophobia. Today he’s back at Harrington Lake, although he will speak to the president of Ukraine. And apparently you have to get permission from Indians to build a hospital.
Biden’s America: Satire on Roe being overturned. The Pelosi family. The ongoing Hunter Biden laptop story. Another Joe Biden senior’s moment. The Democrats and immigration. Your morning meme.

Demi Minor, 27, was transferred to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, a prison for young adult offenders in Burlington County, last month, Dan Sperrazza, a Department of Corrections spokesman, said.
He said the DOC moved Minor to the vulnerable unit at the facility and that she is currently the only woman prisoner on the site. Sperrazza said he could not comment on the DOC’s specific housing actions in Minor’s case because of policies around privacy.
How thoughtful of them.
A memory hole gem
Who remembers glowing accounts like these in the left-wing corporate media in the early days of the pandemic?
Australia has become a pandemic success story. The nation of 26 million is close to eliminating community transmission of the coronavirus, having defeated a second wave just as infections surge again in Europe and the United States.
“I never thought we would really get to zero, which is amazing,” said Sharon Lewin, the Melbourne-based director of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, which provided forecasts in February that formed the basis of the Australian government’s response. “I’ve been going out nonstop, booking restaurants, shopping, getting my nails done and my hair cut.”

American Losers
Misha Petrov is a young lady in America who I sense was born in Russia or nearby. She has broken free of the insane group think all around her and not publishes videos about her new found enlightenment.
While watching this video, you might think, “Proof positive that the American Education System is broken.” I submit to you that it is the way it is very much by design, not by accident.

The crown prince also said that unified efforts were required to support the global economy and that unrealistic policies regarding energy sources would only lead to inflation.
“Adopting unrealistic policies to reduce emissions by excluding main sources of energy will lead in coming years to unprecedented inflation and an increase in energy prices and rising unemployment and a worsening of serious social and security problems,” he said.
The summit in Jeddah was attended by US President Joe Biden and leaders from the six Gulf Co-operation Council states, as well as Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. Mr Biden held bilateral talks with Saudi leaders on Friday in Jeddah.

I thought that pin prick of miracle life juice was supposed to stay in the arm?
An analysis published Friday in the journal Science Advances found that 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after vaccination. Meanwhile, 44% reported no change and around 14% reported a lighter period. Among nonmenstruating people — those post-menopause or who use certain long-term contraceptives, for example — the study suggests many experienced breakthrough or unexpected bleeding after their COVID shots.
But be reassured, peoplekind menstruaters! Here, experts explain that while they don’t know why this unexpected and previously denied side effect occurs, it’s not a health risk! (They’d research it further, but “can’t secure funding”).
