Hunter Biden gets results.
In #China, they must be shaking their heads in disbelief. #CFIUS just determined it does not have jurisdiction to stop a #Chinese company from buying land near Grand Forks #AirForce Base: https://t.co/dCNs3ylxaN. A proposed plant can be used for spying on satellite uplinks.

I, President
This is the non-binary drag queen Biden invited to the White House to attend today’s Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony. Marti G. Cummings, an anti-police activist, believes “The kids are out to sing and suck d!” and “Anyone who thinks drag isn’t for children is wrong.”
The Libranos: Pomp And Circumstance
I see a $100 fine in somebody’s future.
International Trade Minister Mary Ng has apologized after Canada’s conflict of interest and ethics commissioner concluded she placed herself in a conflict of interest through her involvement in a decision by her office to award contracts to a friend’s company.
Ng’s office signed contracts for media and communications training with public relations agency Pomp & Circumstance, co-founded and run by Amanda Alvaro.
The commissioner stated in his report, released Tuesday, that Ng and Alvaro are friends according to the definition in the Conflict of Interest Act. Alvaro is a regular panellist on CBC’s Power & Politics.
According to this: If you recall, Amanda co founded a non profit – ArtBound with Katie Telford. Artbound worked in support of Free The Children AKA WE Charity. IT’S all CONNECTED
Follow The Bouncing Liar
Vancouver Sun, Nov.20, 2022 – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday he has never been briefed that any candidates in the 2019 federal election may have been influenced by financing from the Chinese government.
Global News, Dec 13, 2022 – These CSIS investigations were summarized in memos and briefs that started in January 2022, Global reported last month, and intelligence sources said they contained an allegation that China’s Toronto consulate covertly funded an interference network that included political staffers and at least 11 election candidates. Those sources also said that this information was provided to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several ministers.
Just Trudeau, Dec.14, 22 – “We have obviously been aware for a long time that foreign interference is a real thing.”
No wonder Singh is looking for an escape route.
Let That Sink In
Y2Kyoto: To The End
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s new climate change documentary debuted in movie theaters over the weekend, generating an abysmal $80 per theater.
The new film, “To the End,” was filmed over four years and follows four young women, Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright and political strategist Alexandra Rojas, as they attempt to pass sweeping climate change legislation in Congress.
The film currently boasts an 88% “fresh” critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and does not yet have an audience score.
The Culture of Silence around Covid
Here’s a disturbing video from the UK House of Parliament. We’ve devolved to a point where journalists are frightened to talk outside of The Narrative™. Why is this? What forces, more powerful than governments, are controlling all of this?

Grifters Gonna Grift
At Montreal’s Concordia University, even light is being “decolonised.” By people with salaries and lots of taxpayer subsidy:
The assembled scholars boast that they are “not seeking to improve scientific ‘truth’” and that the purpose of their intellectual toil is “not to find new or better explanations of light.” As if such gifts were theirs to give, or a remotely plausible outcome. Instead, they are vexed by the “social power relations” of scientific enquiry, its objectivity and usefulness, and the fact that the quantifiable and demonstrable tends to trump mythology and the adorable ramblings of one’s Very Indigenous Grandpa.
Apparently, this preference for things that actually work is terribly unfair, an affront to “social equity,” resulting in the “marginalisation” of those whose self-esteem is grounded in the obsolete and inadequate, and hence the imperative to “decolonise” All The Things.
It’s Wednesday On Turtle Island
Woke Britain: Don’t mention Christmas. The workplace wokery.
Biden’s America: Cis white males not wanted. California will pay black pregnant women. Another side of the Balenciagas story. A Democrat delegation visits Cuba. A Drag Queen White House. The Nazi Gala in New York. Your morning meme.
Global Warming Scam News: Eco-terrorists attack French plant.
Trudeau’s Canada: Justin’s trade minister apologizes for getting caught. Feminist defence minister announces new feminist military. Hillary Clinton awarded Canadian medical license. Today our Dear Leader wishes happy birthday, to the Muslim leader of that private island. Later today he attends the caucus ‘Holiday’ party.
Tulsi Gabbard Interviews Tucker Carlson
I realize that not everyone is a fan of Tulsi Gabbard, accusing her of being an opportunist. Similarly, some accuse Tucker Carlson of being controlled opposition. I don’t trust any media or political figure wholeheartedly; think “skeptical optimist”. But when a person says things that resonate with me, I do appreciate them.
Here’s a discussion between these two, which was published Tuesday morning.

This evening we have a laugh at a Midwest Christmas Party.
Your humorous, or more serious, tips are definitely appreciated!
Closing the gates
The mainstream financial media is finally starting to wake up to the fact that we are on the cusp of, if not already in, a recession. Welcome to the world of the gated fund.
For example, Romspen Investment Corp. recently announced it will “temporarily defer payment” of redemptions from its $2.8-billion Romspen Mortgage Investment Fund. Starlight Group Property Holdings Inc., which owns $25-billion worth of apartment buildings and multifamily properties in Canada and the United States, just announced it is halting monthly payouts from two funds and has also started gating investor withdrawals.
And, even more notable, Blackstone Inc.’s US$69-billion real estate fund started limiting withdrawals last week. We read that the fund was somehow able to post a net 9.3-per-cent return over the first three quarters of the year while publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) dropped 20 to 30 per cent in value.
“Subtle But Effective Interference Networks in the Greater Toronto Area”
Global News has learned the February 2020 secret PCO national security memo refers to at least 11 candidates targeted by China, only in the GREATER TORONTO AREA. Intelligence sources say this suggests PRC elxn interference well above only 11 candidates, if Canada-wide considered. https://t.co/VWYf4IMI5G

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
Netflix recently released an eight-part documentary series titled Ancient Apocalypse, where Graham Hancock (who has a been a household name for “alternative archeology” since the release of his book ‘Fingerprints of the Gods’ in 1995), introduces us to his central theory that human civilisation is considerably older than current archeological orthodoxy believes, but that most evidence for this was wiped out by a colossal natural disaster around 12,000 years ago.
He supports this theory with physical evidence for such a natural disaster, curious geological anomalies and seemingly ancient megalithic structures. […]
These questions might sound intriguing to you, or you may be indifferent to them, or you may even vehemently disagree with them, but I bet you didn’t know they were racist, did you?
That’s right. Racist. Don’t believe me, you conspiracy theorist? Just ask the Guardian.
O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas
Strange happenings are occurring in Los Angeles County where the lives of approximately 10 Million people are being controlled by a very bizarre woman named Barbara Ferrer. She refers to herself as a “doctor” but her Ph.D. degree is in “Social Welfare”.
It appears some politicians and members of the media are trying to foist another Covid winter on America, the Globe reported November 28th. “In California the pandemic never really ended. California Gov. Gavin Newsom still clings to his autocratic emergency powers under his March 4, 2020 Covid State of Emergency order, so why not perpetrate another crisis?”
Since then, daily news articles from California media are clearly pushing for mask mandates on school kids.
In Los Angeles County, LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer announced that because weekly Covid cases went up again, “This is the time to put that mask back on,” the Globe reported. Ferrer and the media are again counting “cases” rather than people ill enough to be in the ICU or dead from Covid.
Counting “cases” doesn’t really mean anything.
