WW2 Revisionism?

Yesterday, a Vancouver acquaintance of mine posted something online criticizing Trump’s recent inflammatory rhetoric that Europeans would be talking German and Japanese now if it weren’t for the Americans. Over the top? Of course. But this Vancouver fellow in his 60’s implied that the Allies were doing just fine fighting the Germans before America got into World War 2. To be clear, Canada contributed greatly, well beyond its relatively small size. A whole lot of brave Canadian lost their lives in this noble fight against the Nazis.

So I privately asked this fellow about what he posted, and whether he truly felt that America’s contribution in WW2 wasn’t needed to achieve victory for the Allies. He said he wasn’t sure and that “we’ll never know”. He also gave me his list of those who deeply contributed to the war effort: Britain, the Soviet Union, Canada, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Brazil, & Mexico. I was curious, so I asked Grok to do some research for me.

Here’s the AI’s response.  I’ll leave it to you, dear reader, to decide whether the Vancouver fellow, a huge fan of Trudeau and Carney by the way, was accurate with his summation of WW2.

Update: I went back to AI and asked it to speculate on what would have happened had America not directly got involved in WW2.

Keepin’ those lights on

Boundary Dam Power Station

Natural gas and coal kept Saskatchewan’s lights on during frigid weather. As in, nearly every furnace in this province saw its fan running as a result of natural gas and coal, right when we needed it most.

Minnesota #SignalGate

The uncovering of the Signal data may provide insight into why Tim Walz and Jacob Frey suddenly appeared to switch into conciliatory mode with Trump:

DIGITAL WARRIORS PUT ANTI-ICE FORCES ON THE RUN

Last night, the X community witnessed an unprecedented takedown of anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis through real-time digital warfare.

What started as an infiltration operation exploded into a full exposure of networks involving protesters, funders, and potentially high-level politicians.

From DataRepublican:

In one of the files revealed by @camhigby, a resources file directs people with money to a website, Stand with Minnesota, which in turns directs donors to a campaign ran by Tending the Soil on Chuffed.

More about Tending the Soil later. What to know: the campaign is hosted by Chuffed and the first donation came from Jonny Soppotiuk, a Canada-based community organizer who is part of Chuffed leadership and specializes in fundraising. He is most likely a central figure in raising money.

So, yeah. Starting to look like foreigners are playing a key role in all of this.

Summary of the Tending the Soil campaign on Chuffed:

  • Number of donors: 12,544
  • Active only since January 9, 2026
  • Raising an average of $33,242 per day
  • Campaign link

Some are investigating the Canadian connection to what’s been happening in Minnesota.  There’s also an Australian connection.

Strongest Of The Weakest

As economist Daniel Lacalle points out, the rising dollar price of gold does not mean the US dollar is on the way out. Things are a bit more complicated than that in a fiat currency world with no exit ramps.

The same sources that show soaring gold demand also show that there is no true “dedollarization” in the sense of a fiat‑to‑fiat substitution. This also makes sense. The US dollar is the world’s strongest weak currency because it has a higher level of liquidity, more independent institutions, and better legal and investor security than any alternative. The US dollar is losing its place as a global reserve to gold but not losing its position relative to the euro, yen, pound, or yuan.

IMF COFER figures show that the US dollar’s share of allocated FX reserves remains at 59.6%, and when adjusted for exchange‑rate moves, the IMF itself concludes that the dollar’s share has been broadly stable, with recent declines explained mostly by valuation effects, not active selling. The euro, at 20.3%, is not even close to being a contender.

Women, Please Stop

Meghan Murphy:

Unfortunately for women, the extent of retardation I’m seeing in the Instagram stories of women I know is making me think women are retarded.

Women: please stop. I do not wish to believe you are retarded.

But.

You fell for Covid hysteria
You fell for BLM hysteria
You for sure fell for Trump hysteria (and continue to)
You transwomen are women’d your social media feeds for years
You are now on the “ICE are fascists!” hysteria track
Next month it’s going to be something else
Can you please not fall for every single hysteric news cycle trend fed to your algorithm?

Has it occurred to you that you could stop and think for a moment before posting something completely hyperbolic, based on the incredibly biased non-information your friends share in their Instagram stories, as it just might not be the full story?
