Playing yourself
James Cromwell must have the easiest job in Hollywood these days. His character of Ewan Roy on Succession seems to parallel his actual viewpoints so closely that it’s like he’s not even acting.
Cromwell glued his hand to the counter at a Midtown, Manhattan location to call on Starbucks to stop charging extra for vegan milk.
It turns out, in fact, that the similarities between himself and his character are no accident.
Cromwell, a longtime activist for animal rights, racial justice and environmental causes, told the Guardian his character was rewritten to reflect his politics as a condition of his participation in the HBO series. “I demanded that we have similarities,” he said.

Down The Primrose Path
Two months after the Russian ruble fell below a U.S. penny, the transcontinental country’s fiat currency is the best performing currency worldwide. American economists are baffled by the “unusual situation” because a country facing stiff sanctions typically sees its fiat currency decline in value, but Russia’s ruble has done the exact opposite.
Trudeau’s Canada
What a great story to celebrate Monkey Pox Month.

Today in Islam. Muslims dictate what films we see. Some Islamic justice. And a leftist upsets the Muslims.
Trudeau’s Canada. Rex Murphy on Marco Mendicino’s integrity. The Liberals lie about invoking the emergencies act. Our Dear Leader had a wonderful time in L.A. discussing global warming, gender equity, migrants, and Indian issues. You know, the things that matter to Canadians right now. He has private meetings before he flies home at noon. And Trudeau explains that you have no right to defend yourself in his Canada.
Biden’s America. The clown show in Washington. Biden’s solar panel charade. Old Joe parties with the Hollywood elites. And some Saturday Morning satire.
Showing Up To Riot
The ugly truth the beltway can't grasp, it isn't that regular America doesn't care about Jan6. It's that they hate you for making their lives miserable, so when they saw you cowering, they thought good, now they know how it feels to be afraid.

They Can’t Power A Smartphone For More Than A Day
But the battery scam geniuses would power the grid.
U.S. renewable energy developers have delayed or scrapped several big battery projects meant to store electrical power on the grid in recent months, scuttling plans to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar energy.
At least a dozen storage projects meant to support growing renewable energy supplies have been postponed, canceled or renegotiated as labor and transport bottlenecks, soaring minerals prices, and competition from the electric vehicle industry crimp supply. […]
The delays, some of which have not been previously reported, range from several months to a year, according to the Reuters reporting.
“I have not seen a nascent industry challenged on so many fronts,” said Jamal Burki, president of IHI Terrasun Solutions, the U.S. energy storage arm of Japanese heavy equipment maker IHI Corp.

War On Agriculture
New Zealand has unveiled a plan to tax sheep and cattle burps in a bid to tackle one of the country’s biggest sources of greenhouse gases.
It would make it the first nation to charge farmers for the methane emissions from the animals they keep.
New Zealand is home to just over five million people, along with around 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.
Almost half the country’s total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, mainly methane.
However, agricultural emissions have previously not been included in New Zealand’s emissions trading scheme, which has been criticised by those calling for the government to do more to stop global warming.
Provincial prairie governments are as behind on this curve as they were on energy. The Marxist climate/cultural agenda has been embedded in our schools and universities for two decades, their salaries and curriculum funded by the very people they seek to destroy — all while our elected “conservative” representatives inexplicably sit on their hands.

Its Friday On Turtle Island
We must respect Indian history and culture. Incas drugged kids before sacrifices.
The Liberals rant about foreign interference in Canada, but Trudeau attacks Republicans in California. Next on Justin’s agenda. Cow farts and burps. Newsom praises Trudeau. Our Dear Leader is having a wonderful time at the Summit Of The Americas. Meanwhile in Canada.
Biden’s America. Justin’s buddy George Soros is remaking the justice system. The tolerant left.
The alphabet people are upset with Westjet. A progressive teacher.
He admires their basic dictatorship. China threatens Japan.
Gone Galt
We used to venerate men like the entire shift of 15 firefighters from Midtown’s Engine 54/Ladder 4/Battalion 9, whose fading photographs still face the heedless crowds on Eighth Avenue.
Men with families to live for, who rushed to their deaths on 9/11, because they believed in a system of honor and duty, in which they were destined to be guardians of the community; men like Battalion Chief Edward Geraghty, 45, firefighters Alan Feinberg, 48, Jose Guadalupe, 37, Leonard Ragaglia, 36, Michael Lynch, 30, Christopher Santora, 23, and fellow heroes.
Now their inheritors show up at emergencies and the public throws bottles of urine at them. Social-justice warriors and their eager media accomplices smear cops every day as racists and murderers. #ACAB (“All cops are bastards”) is their favorite hashtag.
We pathologize manly virtues and bow to the tyranny of identity politics that seeks power by overthrowing a make-believe patriarchy. We raise boys in a soup of reproach and negativity that tells them their intrinsic nature is diseased.
“Traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful,” the American Psychological Association declared in 2019. These were the masculine attributes it listed as diseased: “stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, aggression, anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk and violence.”
The only acceptable man now is a man who wants to be a woman.
