The Most Interesting Man In The World

Inside the Whirlwind 48 Hours Before Hunter Biden Bought His Handgun

In the 48 hours before Hunter Biden’s handgun purchase that is now under investigation by federal prosecutors, President Joe Biden’s troubled son was being hounded about hundreds of thousands of dollars he owed in debts, juggling texts from his brother’s widow and her sister, who were also his lovers, and coordinating what appears to be a drug deal at a local 7-Eleven with a man saved in his phone only as “Q.”

It’s Not Sleazy Being Green

No, not at all;

The unscrupulous recycling of cooking oil is a hazard China has long been all too familiar with. Merchants were once infamous for collecting waste to blend with clean edible oil, triggering scandals — and eventually crackdowns.

Today, with the waste-oil industry and westward exports booming thanks to Europe’s push for more green fuel, the questions are back.

European producers worry they’re being undercut by companies in Asia that are mixing fuels with cheaper feedstocks and mislabeling them in order to qualify for renewable-energy incentives.

There is circumstantial evidence for concern. A spike in Chinese exports to Europe over the past year has coincided with a significant increase in Chinese imports of palm waste and palm-based biofuel from Indonesia and Malaysia.

Those products have been shunned by European Union nations and their consumers, wary of encouraging deforestation and, in general, reluctant to use agricultural products for fuel.

Flaming sparky ships

If the green lobby has its way, parking garages in the major cities of the world will soon be stuffed full of these things and the sprinkler system won’t do any good in the event of a fire. Let that sink in.

However, lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicles on board kept the fire burning. Firefighters were only able to tackle the fire from the outside by cooling down the ship’s structure as it was too dangerous to go onboard. They also couldn’t use water, because traditional water extinguishers do not stop lithium-ion batteries from burning.

Wednesday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Rand Paul is not impressed with government spending.  How riots have destroyed American cities.  Is Biden taking Latinos for granted?  The Washington Post smears homeschooling.  Big Pharma keeps people sick.  Biden’s phony pitch for unity. And infrastructure choices matter.  Your morning meme.

Neil Oliver:  Averting the dark future of our children.

Woke Britain:  Oxfam’s Pride cartoon.  Headteacher bans Sir and Miss.

Today In Islam:  Coming soon to Canada. Swimming no longer a family affair in Germany (JW).

Trudeau’s Canada:  You will eat your fake fish and like it (CBC). And don’t forget your side order of bugs.  This is Comrade Chow’s Toronto.  Socialist Calgary defends killing unborn babies.  Justin’s CBC explains that wildfires will only get worse, unless we embrace Trudeau’s global warming scams.  The Libranos.  Feds say the public likes censorship.

Reliability of the electrical grid is everything.

Without it, nothing else matters.

I wrote this column nearly two weeks ago, and only shared it this morning. But it turns out this is playing out in real time, as I’m working on a big story about how SaskPower’s Poplar River Power Station is down, thus putting us out nearly 600 megawatts. This happened just as demand is spiking for air conditioning due to +30 temps this week. As a result, SaskPower is scrambling to reduce its internal demand, doing something called “load shedding.” Watch for that story once I’ve got it together.

The cycle of insanity

Apropos of pretty much nothing, the Tour de France has become trapped in a time warp. Apparently, a few participants have tested positive for Covid. None have dropped dead….yet. So just to be on the safe side….

The Tour de France organisers have drawn up a new COVID-19 protocol for this year’s race to try to limit the risk of infection inside the peloton, with riders, team staff and officials set to wearing face masks at sign-on and in the team paddock, while riders will be banned from signing autographs. 

“For all the team members: Respect a confinement – Limit the interactions outside the race bubble. No eating out. Respect social distancing at the hotel.”

Lockdowns= “a global policy failure of gigantic proportions”

The data are in and it’s about as ugly as it gets.

This paper should be mandatory reading for every politician, bureaucrat, health care worker, media pundit and wanna be tinpot dictator out there. We should never, NEVER go through anything like this again.

Institute of Economic Affairs- Did lockdowns work? The verdict on Covid restrictions

COVID-19 lockdowns were “a global policy failure of gigantic proportions,” according to this peer-reviewed new academic study. The draconian policy failed to significantly reduce deaths while imposing substantial social, cultural, and economic costs.

The comprehensive 220-page book, began with a systematic review of 19,646 potentially relevant studies. For their meta-analysis, the authors’ screening resulted in the choice of 22 studies that are based on actual, measured mortality data, not on results derived from modelling exercises. A meta-analysis is considered the ‘gold-standard’ for evidence, as it combines comparable, independent studies to determine overall trends.

Dr. John Campbell gives us an excellent overview of the analysis.
