Here’s an interesting clip from England. People like “Nigel” are so deeply in denial and will NEVER admit that they are, and were, so absolutely wrong. Nor will this ilk (Trudeau) ever apologize for the horrific way they treated their fellow citizens.
When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
FBI leaders ordered the new head of Miami’s field office Jeffrey Veltri to scrub anti-Trump comments from his social media accounts, according to a new whistleblower account.
The whistleblower disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee, obtained by The Washington Times, said FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Moore ordered Veltri to scrub his “adamantly and vocally anti-Trump” remarks from his social media accounts in order to get a promotion.
“The home of President Donald Trump is located in the area of responsibility of the Miami Field Office,” the disclosure obtained by the Times read. “It was well known that Veltri was adamantly and vocally Anti-Trump.

CNBC: Ford to scale back plans for $3.5 billion Michigan battery plant as EV demand disappoints, labor costs rise
Ford said Tuesday that it is cutting production capacity by roughly 43% to 20 gigawatt hours per year and reducing expected employment from 2,500 jobs to 1,700 jobs. The company declined to disclose how much less it would invest in the plant. Based on the reduced capacity, it would still be about a $2 billion investment.
The decision adds to a recent retreat from EVs by automakers globally. Demand for the vehicles is lower than expected due to higher costs and challenges with supply chains and battery technologies, among other issues.
Reductions at the Marshall, Michigan plant are part of Ford’s plans announced last month to cut or delay about $12 billion in previously announced EV investments. The company will also postpone construction of another electric vehicle battery plant in Kentucky.
Saskatchewan says following the Net Zero by 2035 Clean Electricity Regulations are not possible, unaffordable, unconstitutional and unobtainable
In August, Steven Guilbeault released the draft Clean Electricity Regulations which mean to remake our entire country in just 11 years.
On Nov. 2, Saskatchewan told them where to go. Today, they said publicly how to get there.
Three stories:
‘It just isn’t possible’ – SaskPower Minister in-depth response to Clean Electricity Regulations.
SaskPower response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: ‘Not possible from technological, financial and logistical perspectives‘
Saskatchewan response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: Unaffordable, unconstitutional and unobtainable.
Saskatchewan lining up nuclear assistance
SaskPower signed a “master services agreement” with Ontario Power Generation and its subsidiary, Laurentis Energy Partners, on Monday, to develop small modular reactors in Saskatchewan. The most likely site is about six miles from my house in Estevan.
Later this morning, there will be a press conference where Saskatchewan lays out its case against the Clean Electricity Regulations. Watch for extensive coverage from Pipeline Online.

Tracy Beanz lays out the case, so I don’t have to.
Elon Musk’s X Corp is suing Media Matters. Here is an analysis of this concise complaint. I will be reporting on this case as it progresses. This will be the main thread, so please bookmark if interested. You can also find it on my Highlights page.
As @elonmusk discussed in the post he made this weekend, X alleges that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously” manufactured images to show advertising where it didn’t exist, specifically for the purpose of harming and destroying X.
More background on the Media Matters hoax.

The Office of the Attorney General’s Civil Medicaid Fraud Division has sued Pfizer, Inc., Tris Pharma, Inc. and Tris CEO Ketan Mehta for defrauding the Texas Medicaid program by providing adulterated pharmaceutical drugs to Texas children in violation of the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act, now known as the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act (“THFPA”).
Pfizer contracted with Tris, a drug manufacturer, to produce a pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder medication (“ADHD”), Quillivant XR. Pfizer knowingly distributed Quillivant to children on Medicaid despite the drug’s pattern of failing quality control tests due to flawed manufacturing practices. For years, Tris altered the drug’s testing method in violation of federal and state laws to ensure Quillivant passed regulatory hurdles and could continue to be sold.

Poverty Sucks
Quelle surprise that more and more Canadians are coming to the conclusion that changing the weather 200 years into the future is not worth a life of penury. Most of us at SDA came to that conclusion the moment carbon taxes were introduced, but it’s too bad it has taken this long for enough Canadians to realize that this was never a win/win proposition to begin with.
Now, when Canadians are asked to rank their top concerns, the top spot is a duel between “economy” and “cost of living” — with climate change lucky if it can crack the top five.
Carbon pricing was broadly popular when Trudeau took office; one survey had 56 per cent of Canadians supporting a price on emissions. As support has dwindled, it’s dropped in almost perfect tandem with the rate of Canadians actually paying the carbon tax.
This was most dramatic in Atlantic Canada, where good feelings on carbon pricing screeched to a halt on July 1 when it became the country’s last region added to the federal carbon pricing scheme.

Israel Arrests NBC journalist: On October 7, Al-Azza put up posts on her personal Facebook account allegedly supporting Hamas terrorism. She wrote on the kidnapping of an elderly woman from a Gaza border community, “It’s killing me, it’s a black comedy, the old woman looks happy, a bit of action before she dies.” […] In another post, she wrote: “Sirens all the time, the Jews are hiding and the Arabs are out drinking coffee on their balconies.” In yet another post, she wrote: “I feel like I’m watching a movie where the director is Palestinian and the protagonists are from Gaza.”

Woke Ideology: Playing with People’s Lives
Female boxer withdraws from Canadian tournament after being told her rival was transgender with an hour’s notice, leaving her fearing for her safety:
Dr. Katia Bissonnette, from Saguenay, claims she was given just an hour’s notice she was being matched with transgender fighter Mya Walmsley last month.
The two had been due to face off in the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Victoriaville, Quebec.
But Bissonnette withdrew at the last second after learning the identity of her opponent, resulting in Walmsley being declared the winner by default as they could not find anyone else to take her position in the same weight class.
‘Women shouldn’t have to bear the physical and psychological risks brought by a man’s decisions regarding his personal life and identity,’ Bissonnette told Reduxx. ‘There should be two categories: biological male and female.’

Soviet Medicine
Every so often, you run across an op ed which is a perfect example of “seeing, and yet not seeing”. It amazes me that this doctor can work every day in the collapsing single payer medical system and yet not recognize that it is precisely the stubborn adherence to this doctrine that is causing the collapse. He claims to desire “real action, real change”, but cannot or will not expand on his weary bromide.
Long gone are the days of the early pandemic, when our neighbours banged their pots and pans in appreciation every evening. Now we are yelled at every single shift about the long wait times. We are verbally and physically assaulted so regularly that the B.C. provincial health authority recently mandated violence-prevention training. All these things, it’s just too much.
