“There always has to be a centre of evil in the United States…”

Matt: Now, Walter, you’re in New York right now. But you’re not where you usually are, which apparently is a hotbed of Christian nationalism. Is that right?

Walter: Well, that’s right. I woke up last week in Livingston Montana, my home, to find out courtesy of the New York Times Magazine in an early edition which usually comes out on Sunday, that I live in a near theocracy, hard-right, Christian nationalist state.

Oh, and Yellowstone, of course. Audio here.

Still more classified documents found in Biden home;

“Seriously,” folks! Biden takes classified-info “seriously,” by which he apparently means he likes stashing it around the house in places even he can’t recall.

This comes shortly after the White House heavily implied that Biden’s attorneys had conducted a thorough search, too. Maybe it’s time for an FBI team to conduct their own, eh? […]

This raises another question, too. The spread of these materials in the Wilmington home makes it clear that someone was making use of them at some point. Otherwise, the classified material would have remained in the boxes in which they were initially packaged from Biden’s vice-presidential term. That’s not “inadvertently misplacing” material, but intentional retention and unauthorized uses of classified material.

And that makes the obvious questions even more acute. What did the classified information contain, and what was Biden’s interest in it? Who else accessed this material, and for what purpose? How much more is there to find?

The problem here isn’t “small town mayor”, it’s big time elite entitlement: Buttigieg refused meetings with Democrats and Republicans during paternity leave

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is facing tough questions about how he handles crises facing his department. The latest crisis, the grounding of every plane in America for the first since 9/11/01, shines a light on what exactly it is that Buttigieg does on the job. […]

Now, as questions about his performance in office are asked, Pete rather defensively declares that everyone knows that in a job such as his, he must be available 24/7. You’d think everyone would know that. But does Pete? It turns out that it looks like Pete was turning down requests for calls and zoom meetings with both Democrat and Republican lawmakers while he was home with his new little family. He was, in fact, not available 24/7. On Thursday, government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) released information showing that inconvenient truth.

Not only was Pete not available when his assistance was needed, he failed to issue a formal delegation of authority, causing some chaos as important decisions still needed to be made during his leave. Hmm. So, who was in charge when Pete was out of the office? That seems like an important question.

I detect a pattern:

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra defended his choice not to personally contact airlines and airports while they grappled with holiday travel upheaval that left thousands of Canadians stranded and airports a maze of unclaimed luggage and frustrated travellers. […]

Committee member Conservative MP Mark Strahl pointed to testimony earlier in the day from airport officials, who said they never heard from Alghabra, and from executives of Sunwing Airlines, who said they didn’t talk to Alghabra until Jan. 5, “more than two weeks after the catastrophic failure of that airline, and people sleeping in hotel lobbies in a foreign country.”

Strahl accused the minister of waiting until the crisis had passed before he “even did the basic thing to pick up the phone.”

It’s not incompetence and it’s not indifference — it’s population retraining. The Trudeau government is delivering electric shocks to the rats so they’ll learn not to want the nice things.

Great Reset It's Probably Nothing 17 Comments

David Rosenberg has a bit of advice for investors who think that the burgeoning recession is already over and its nothing but sunny ways ahead.

In the equity market, silly season is back with prices rising sharply even as earnings and earnings estimates decline. Anyone notice how U.S. homebuilder KB Home missed both its earnings and revenue targets? The forward P/E multiple has widened to 17.3x from 16.7x at the start of the year, which is a 5.7-per-cent yield and simply not enough to justify it over the level of risk-free rates, let alone what you can garner in the corporate bond market.

Such a pullback in economic-sensitive stocks amidst a Fed tightening that inverted the yield curve this much for this long has generated a recession a year later fully 100 per cent of the time in the past. Why fight those odds? And why on earth fight the Fed? Weren’t we told to not fight the Fed in the 2020-2021 doubling of the stock market by all the bulls, who somehow have turned silent on this strategy in recent months? I wonder why.

Don’t say I didn’t try to warn* you. (OK. Reference *here)

For the casual student of UFO history, the modern idea of life beyond our planet usually dates to 1947, when a top-secret U.S. military balloon crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. The wreckage prompted decades of conspiracy theories and gave rise to the idea that Roswell was the site of an alien crash landing.

Now, thanks to a new congressional spending bill, UFO enthusiasts may look to 1945 as the beginning of that era.

An amendment tucked into this year’s $858 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which funds the Defense Department’s annual operating budget, requires the department to review historical documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena — government lingo for UFOs — dating to 1945. That is the year that, according to one account, a large, avocado-shaped object struck a communication tower in a patch of New Mexico desert now known as the Trinity Site, where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated that July.

Experts said the bill, which President Joe Biden signed into law in December, could be a game changer for studying unidentified phenomena.

“The American public can reasonably expect to get some answers to questions that have been burning in the minds of millions of Americans for many years,” said Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. “If nothing else, this should either clear up something that’s been a cloud hanging over the Air Force and Department of Defense for decades, or it might lead in another direction, which could be truly incredible. There’s a lot at stake.”

The amendment was introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis. and a member of the Armed Services Committee. Gallagher, who declined an interview request, said in a brief statement that a “comprehensive timeline” of unidentified aerial phenomena in U.S. government records was needed and that the amendment would ensure a full review of “all U.S. government classified and unclassified information.”

“This is an important step that will give us a more comprehensive understanding of what we know — and don’t know — about incidents impacting our military,” he said.

Toronto Sun;

A safety monitoring system flagged that U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech’s updated COVID-19 shot could be linked to a type of brain stroke in older adults, according to preliminary data analyzed by U.S. health authorities.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that a CDC vaccine database had uncovered a possible safety issue in which people 65 and older were more likely to have an ischemic stroke 21 days after receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech bivalent shot, compared with days 22-44.

An ischemic stroke, also known as brain ischemia, is caused by blockages in arteries that carry blood to the brain.

I’d be comparing the frequency of ischemic strokes 21 days after with 21 days prior, but that’s just me.

Australia.

Sun Cable, the company behind a massive solar farm and power export project planned for the Northern Territory, has gone into voluntary administration.

Key points:
– The company’s ambition was to build the world’s largest solar project
– Its plan was to build a giant 20-gigawatt solar farm in the NT
– Sun Cable also wanted to build a 4,200-kilometre-long subsea cable to Singapore

The company, whose major investors include billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, provided a vague statement about why it collapsed:

“The appointment followed the absence of alignment with the objectives of all shareholders,” it said.

“Whilst funding proposals were provided, consensus on the future direction and funding structure of the company could not be achieved.”

The ABC understands that Sun Cable’s major investors, Mr Forrest and Mr Cannon-Brookes, had disagreements about the funding and direction of the company.

These included the significant amounts of cash that Sun Cable was spending, and its failure to achieve certain milestones — as required by its venture capital funding agreement.

The planet weeps.
