Child’s Play

There’s a simple option for people alarmed about the high cost of raising kids: don’t have any. But if you have enough political sway, maybe you can coerce that magical entity known as “others” to shoulder the burden for you. To be fair, California is really just following Canada’s lead on this matter.

The number of 4-year-olds attending state-funded preschools reached record highs last school year, driven by states embracing universal access and an unprecedented $14.4 billion in spending.

More than half the nation’s public preschool enrollment gain — some 25,000 students — came in California, which this year made every 4-year-old eligible for its “ transitional kindergarten ” program, or “TK.”

“Transitional kindergarten”? I wonder who came up with that title.

If It Weren’t For Fake Hate

Continued…

We already knew that the “fine people” hoax was based on the lie that Trump called white supremacists “fine people,” instead of, as he did, condemning them. But until yesterday, we didn’t know that the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville and whose protest led to the death of one person were bused there on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s dime, and were organized to be there by an SPLC “informer.”

This sounds like a job for Warren Kinsella.

The Libranos: To Boldly Launder

Everything you need to know about the ‘spaceport’ in Nova Scotia

I write this from my home in Canso, Nova Scotia, less than three kilometres from Maritime Launch Services’ “launch pad.”

Little more than a concrete shed pad at the end of a gravel road with two sea cans, Maritime Launch’s “Spaceport Nova Scotia” was recently lavished $20 million a year for 10 years by our federal government to further develop its facility, and as it now boasts to investors — send rockets into space on “150+” launch days a year.

Seems legit.

Let’s start at the beginning with the company itself, an American-Ukrainian start up that called itself Maritime Launch Services, and registered with Nova Scotia Joint Stocks in October 2016. […]

A project of the Ukrainian Space Agency, MLS was created specifically to launch the Cyclone 4M, a rocket designed by Yuzhnoye, the Ukrainian agency’s design and business office.

Despite claims for years that they were “maturing the launch vehicle,” this rocket has never been built.

The Ukrainian Space Agency suffered a series of losses due to ongoing scandals, mismanagement, malfeasance and corruption Among them was a spectacularly failed 10-year project in Brazil, and allegations of deals with North Korea, a breach of contract case with Boeing that would cost them USD $200 million, and the theft of over $10 million from Export Development Canada funds provided in a deal with MDA, a scam that would span 2011-2017.

Despite this history, in 2017 the Government of Canada, including then President of the Canadian Space Agency, Sylvain LaPorte, signed an agreement to “co-operate in space.”

Read the whole thing.

@TraceyKent – It gets worse. Their entire FB page is promo shots of endless Liberal politicians and CGI pics of non-existent space travel

If It Weren’t For Fake Hate

And the funding behind it…

@MrAndyNgo – If the allegations are true, the SPLC is the largest funder of American neo-Nazis and KKK members. They allegedly made a problem that they could point to to fear monger and fundraise hundreds of millions of dollars. More importantly, they could build a moral panic that Democrats could use to sway elections and defame political targets. This is more than just alleged mass financial fraud.

Indeed: Scott Adams 100% vindicated

“Alberta man”…


38-year-old Dalvir Singh Jhattu crashed into the back of the tow truck, destroying that vehicle, the tractor-trailer and the Mercedes.

Convicted of dangerous driving and “sentenced”…

…to a six-month conditional sentence order, 90 days of house arrest, a 12-month Canada-wide driving ban and conditions, including no possession or consumption of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating substances.

Blog Notes

I’m back at the desk here, but still have work to do unloading and catching up after a two day drive home from Columbus, OH. Many thanks as usual to my busy guest bloggers who take time out of their own lives to fill in during my absence! I should be back to regular programming tomorrow, (depending on how long it takes to get the kinks out of the display issues affecting some users).

Thanks for your patience!

Paleolithic Justice

Comments about raping those you dislike would normally get political leaders fired, but then again, this is Canada, and certain racially defined “elders” can say whatever they like.

During the session, Belleau recounted comments she said she directed at Frances Widdowson at a campus encounter in late 2025. “I told her: ‘I wish our people could grab you, drag you over to the Kamloops residential school, put you into the basement, speak our language to you — nothing but Secwepemctsín — beat you, rape you, hurt you,’” she recalled at the UBC event.
