I, Napoleon

Congratulations you freak, you just became world famous. The Department of Education needs to step in and bring this laughing stock of an institution to heel.

Iran in Context

Update: Let’s hope this proves to be true.

Circling The Drain

Cushion the blow? That sounds like the Feds will hand out free Squishmallows at the gas pumps. Could’ve had some pipelines, but it’s getting a bit late even for that. An end to the industrial carbon tax would help, but I’m not holding my breath.

Oil prices have surged since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, averaging more than $1.80 per litre across Canada today, compared with about $1.32 a year ago.

Carney says his government wants to help “cushion the blow” for Canadians.

 

Disgrace Under Pressure

Indeed.

One of the more entertaining things to witness regarding the Iran conflict is to watch the “credentialed” class of milbloggers twist themselves into pretzels to laud the skill and courage of America’s fighting men and women in accomplishing all of their assigned missions so spectacularly, while at the exact same time carefully avoiding giving any credit to President Trump, SecWar Hegseth or Gen Caine.

And then there are the Democrats.

Himalayan High

Yikes.

A sweeping investigation by Nepali police has sent shockwaves through the global mountaineering community, revealing allegations that some Mount Everest guides may have deliberately drugged foreign climbers to trigger costly emergency evacuations. Authorities claim the scheme, valued at approximately $20 million, was designed to exploit travel and rescue insurance systems, with helicopter evacuations used as the primary mechanism for fraudulent claims.

According to officials, 32 individuals have been charged and 11 arrests have been made so far, including operators of mountain rescue companies. The scale of the alleged fraud is striking: investigators estimate that as many as 4,782 international climbers may have been affected between 2022 and 2025.

While the legal process is still unfolding, the implications of these accusations extend far beyond criminal accountability. If proven true, the scandal could fundamentally alter how climbers, insurers, and governments approach high-altitude expeditions—not just in Nepal, but worldwide.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars

Auto Guide;

According to a new report from Reuters, GM idled operations at its Factory ZERO plant in Michigan in mid-March, with the automaker now deciding to extend the timeout until April 13 as sales of large electric trucks and SUVs fall short of expectations. The move temporarily affects approximately 1,300 jobs.

Factory ZERO builds most of GM’s highest-profile electric models, including the GMC Hummer EV, Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and Cadillac Escalade IQ. However, the plant has been subject to multiple pauses over the past year as demand for large, high-priced EVs has melted. GM had already reduced the plant’s forecasted output by roughly half earlier this year.
