Wednesday On Trudeau’s Turtle Island

Woke Britain:  Convicted Islamic terrorists refuse deradicalise programming.  NHS and the people that bleed.  There is no climate emergency.  Britain’s university snowflakes.

Biden’s America:  Biden coughs through speech.  The FBI judge.  Some summer reading.  What is a recession?  The FBI raid.  The upcoming rigged election.

Today in Islam:  Strange bedfellows.

China is sending us a new improved virus this winter.  Your morning meme.

Trudeau’s Turtle Island:  Don’t worry, Dear Leader will never starve.  Trudeau’s war on farmers.  She doesn’t mind truckers being abused, but Freeland trashes police over diplomat.  He’s entitled to his entitlements. Liberal senator rakes in the corporate cash.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa

The UK has more than 11,000 wind turbines.

The UK is planning for several days over the winter when cold weather may combine with gas shortages, leading to organized blackouts for industry and even households.

Under the government’s latest “reasonable worst-case scenario,” Britain could face an electricity capacity shortfall totaling about a sixth of peak demand, even after emergency coal plants have been fired up, according to people familiar with the government’s planning. Under that outlook, below-average temperatures and reduced electricity imports from Norway and France could expose four days in January when the UK may need to trigger emergency measures to conserve gas, they said.

The coming implosion

Those of us who understood the dangers of zero percent interest rates saw a hard landing coming a long time ago. It’s nice to see the mainstream media belatedly acknowledge the idea that the wealth effect is not so pleasant when it slams into reverse.

With real estate as a share of disposable income at more than 560 per cent, reaching an all-time high in the first quarter of 2022, consumers’ sensitivity to a pullback in the housing market is likely to be heightened. As a result, the hit to consumption (and, thus, GDP) from falling residential real estate prices via the wealth effect is likely to be magnified, thus ensuring the imminent recession is neither short nor shallow.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

Matt Taibbi: The FBI really better have something “pulverizing” on Trump, because otherwise we’ve just witnessed one of the dumbest moves in the history of politics

We’ve reached the stage of American history where everything we see on the news must first be understood as political theater. In other words, the messaging layer of news now almost always dominates the factual narrative, with the latter often reported so unreliably as to be meaningless anyway. Yesterday’s sensational tale of the FBI raiding the Mar-a-Lago home of former president Donald Trump is no different.

As of now, it’s impossible to say if Trump’s alleged offense was great, small, or in between. But this for sure is a huge story, and its hugeness extends in multiple directions, including the extraordinary political risk inherent in the decision to execute the raid. If it backfires, if underlying this action there isn’t a very substantial there there, the Biden administration just took the world’s most reputable police force and turned it into the American version of the Tonton Macoute on national television. We may be looking at simultaneously the dumbest and most inadvertently destructive political gambit in the recent history of this country.

There they go again: Twitter suspends @nypost reporter @PaulSperry30 after he criticizes the FBI’s political double standard between FBI’s home raid of President Trump v. FBI’s mishandling of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illegal home email server.

Let Them Burn Dung

Bjorn Lomborg- The rich world’s message to the poor: Fossil fuels for me but not for thee

While the wealthy G7 countries admonish the world’s poor to use only renewables because of climate concerns, Europe and the United States are going begging to Arab nations to expand oil production, Germany is reopening coal power plants and Spain and Italy are ramping up African gas production. So many European countries have asked Botswana to mine more coal it will have to triple its exports.

Tuesday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Elite socialism.  Democrat wants to dismantle police in a thoughtful way.  Department of Energy gives battery technology to China.   The persecution of Donald Trump.  Some reaction to the FBI raid.

The war against farmers.  Your morning meme.

Woke Britain:  Don’t say Dick Turpin.  Cat fight among the alphabet people.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Transgender 4 year old.  Indians want lots and lots of money for Reconciliation Day.  Killing the Canadian oil industry.  Social justice warrior Justin has ordered that federally subsidized programs for the arts, must embrace social activism. We must remove colonialism from the arts.  And the CBC is in trouble for calling white people bigots.
