“Progressive” Los Angeles is Doomed
H.L. Mencken penned a very famous quotation: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
There are a number of Democrat run cities which have been abject failures but we are now watching the demise of Los Angeles:
For much of the 20th century, Los Angeles symbolized the future. Over the course of the century, the population grew 40-fold to nearly four million people.
Conditions in LA today are bordering on the medieval. Anyone visiting some of the most famous districts of urban Los Angeles – notably downtown, Hollywood and Venice Beach – sees clear signs of destitution, including sprawling homeless encampments, vast numbers of people living in vehicles and rampant crime. Last year, a UN official compared conditions on LA’s Skid Row, a poor downtown neighbourhood, to those of Syrian refugee camps. Smash-and-grab thefts at local 7-Elevens and the persistent theft of goods from railyards suggest this is a city that has lost control to the modern version of lawless highwaymen.
Incidentally, the current situation in Los Angeles is directly reflective of Gavin Newsom’s policies. Yet it is what he will run on when he attempts to become President one day. The Leftoid Sheeple will mindlessly vote for him but will a majority of Americans?
9/11
Still ignoring the lessons from 9/11.
It’s Sunday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: Inappropriate comments. The Democrats are desperate. Biden’s mom and the Queen. The return of the Dark Ages. Your morning meme. Bonus meme.
Global Warming Scam News: A message from one of the founders of Greenpeace.
Woke Britain: You will consume bugs not milk.
Trudeau’s Canada: Reconciliation and King Charles. Today our Dear Leader burns jet fuel to New Brunswick.
The Queen: Her Majesty’s beekeeper. Neil Oliver discusses the Queen.
Bathroom Besieged
Naturally, the first task was to give the toilets a makeover via the uplifting medium of graffiti, thereby communicating the life-enhancing qualities of prostitution.

Pierre Poilievre Elected as New Conservative Leader
Apologies for being out of touch but this is definitely interesting. Now watch Trudeau’s bought-and-paid-for media apparatchiks earn their pay-cheques as they spend ever waking minute trying to destroy him.
As an homage to the Babylon Bee, here are some predictions of future headlines/themes:
- Who would have guessed that 68% of registered Conservative party members were white supremacists?
- Poilievre’s decision to marry a pretty white woman merely propagates the White Patriarchy, proving he is both a racist and a sexist.
- Does the fact that Poilievre has identified his two children as a girl and a boy signal that he is not a transgender ally?
- Poilievre’s wife is of Venezuelan descent. Venezuela is politically aligned with Cuba. Cuba was an ally of the Soviet Union. Anonymous sources have leaked that Russian infiltration into his inner circle is being investigated.
- While other teenagers were helping the poor, 16 year old Pierre was selling Reform Party memberships for Jason Kenney.
- Poilievre’s constant use of the “F” word (freedom) is a known dog whistle to white supremacist Nazi sympathizers who want to overthrow the Canadian government.
- Does Canada’s populist version of Donald Trump want to destroy the fabric of Canadian Society?
- Rumours are abound that Poilievre wants to get rid of the CBC, further proof that he doesn’t want the Canadian people hearing The Truth™.

Trudeau’s Canada
From an acquaintance visiting Cape Breton Highlands National park.
” Our tax dollars! Yes, up there in the National Park, 4 charging stations able to charge 8 vehicles at a time for free and no cellphone service within a 15K distance in each direction!”

Armstrong Economics- Global Recession
Neither China nor Russia are to blame for Germany’s situation. Russia was simply a diversion to draw attention away from the collapse of the European economy. Negative interest rates beginning in 2014 wiped out pension funds and proved that the central bank was not thinking long-term. COVID restrictions killed the supply chain, and Germany’s insistance in backing Ukraine eliminated what could have been a lucrative pipeline. Had the pipeline gone through, Europe would not have an energy crisis! Ever since COVID, we have witnessed a rising trend of civil unrest.

Governments always think they have a “revenue” problem. Its never a spending problem.

Moments in history
Economics used to be the study of human action, with particular emphasis on discovering timeless principles and laws via historical research. Modern economics, with its emphasis on mathematical models bereft of rational principles, regards past experience as nearly useless. If you can’t think in terms of principles, you will just keep stumbling from disaster to disaster.
For European utilities, the peril is more complex than Nord Stream going dry. Some are wondering if this marks a sort of “Lehman Brothers” moment for Euro power providers, recalling the days of the United States 2008 housing crisis when risky loans came due on mortgages that buyers ultimately couldn’t afford.
With prices rocketing up, brokers are making margin calls and forcing utilities to shop around for cash.

The Telegraph- Fracking ban lifted as Truss says shale gas could flow in six months
Under plans to make Britain energy independent again by 2040, the Prime Minister pledged to strengthen supplies with more domestic oil and gas extraction alongside the development of nuclear and renewable power schemes. She said this would see the moratorium on fracking – in place since 2019 – scrapped with immediate effect, paving the way for developers to begin extraction in as little as six months in areas “where there is local support”. From next week, the Government will also make more than 100 new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea available.
It’s Saturday On Turtle Island
Trudeau’s Canada: Fibre line support lost. Canada’s unemployment rises to 5.4%. Dear Leader has burned jet fuel back to Ottawa, so he can make the Queen’s death all about him.
Today In Islam: Our NATO ally. This week in jihad.
Biden’s America: The week in whoppers. The lunatic animal activists. The Navy Seal mindset. Your morning meme. And Biden’s senior moment of the week.
Woke Britain: Extinction Rebellion will continue protests despite the Queen’s death. While Dr. Trudeau is pushing vaccines on kids, Britain is taking a different approach.
The Queen: Imagining a Britain without the Queen. A tribute from Rex Murphy. And King Charles makes historic speech.

Epic thread from @gdemaneuf who shows in forensic detail how two Chinese “scientists” pushed natural origin while privately saying the opposite.
Tellingly, the two brought in gullible Western scientists as “co-authors” but deliberately hid info from another lab leak from them.
It is epic, grab a beverage.
