In 1898, Emile Zola was brought to trial for publishing J’accuse…!, an open letter exposing the cover-up in the Alfred Dreyfus affair.
Peoplekind, as sock boy would have it, ain’t learned much.
Evidently Canadians didn’t pay attention to the McGuinty/Wynne/Butts disaster in Ontari-owe, so they voted in PM socks, who took Butts to Ottawa with him to impose their disastrous policies on the whole country. Liberals must continually laugh at how stupid Canadians are, else why would folks keep voting them in? Speaking of Butts, Liberals yell “BOHICA” and Canadians seemingly swoon.
Sir John A. McDonald, the man who did more than anyone to help create this country—and who is now under attack by the usual malcontents—purportedly said that ‘a Liberal is a socialist in a top hat’. True to their socialist creed, Liberals strive for equality of outcome, because Lord knows, equality of opportunity just ain’t cuttin’ it. Which bring us to their continued attack on small businesses—the economic engine of the country. Liberals never saw a tax they didn’t like. If a business is successful in Canada, it must be punished. Don’t try to help underachievers achieve: punish the successful and bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. The Liberals are now going to steal more money from businesses in the name of “fairness”. Cripes. None of these new rules apply to the uber-rich, however, including the Hair Lisp and Willie Porno, the trust fund lads. And, of course, nary a thought for the “fairness” of the generous salaries, indexed pensions and health care plans of the public sector—that is, the parasitic class—that folks in the private sector have to pay for.
Here’s an article on Turdeau’s anti-business stance, although clearly it doesn’t apply to Bombardier. Writer, Allan Lanthier, calls the latest Liberal tax grab confiscatory. Time for some torches and pitchforks.
With both its rhetoric and its legislative initiatives, the government seems intent on driving business investment and jobs out of Canada.
…
Speaking in Davos at the World Economic Forum in January, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continued his anti-business mantra. He stated that “too many corporations have put the pursuit of profit before the well-being of their workers,” and that “companies avoid taxes and boast record profits with one hand, while slashing benefits with the other.” With both its rhetoric and its legislative initiatives, the government seems intent on driving business investment and jobs out of Canada.
For the best part of a decade the BBC – like most other mainstream media – chose to ignore the issue of the northern Muslim grooming gangs. When Operation Bullfinch uncovered similar crimes being carried out in leafy Oxfordshire there was a little more attention. But with the exception of some extraordinary reporting from one journalist at the Times, most media just wanted to keep a million miles away from the story. They didn’t know any of the victims, didn’t know the towns and somewhere along the way (subliminally or otherwise) made the decision that all this was just too horrible and delicate a story to wade into.
Sock boy embarrasses Canadians once again:
The appropriate response:
Update: Why is the self-proclaimed feminist mansplaining? PC hierarchies are tough.
Day after day, Ball records casualties and reports of rain and knee-deep mud. A rumor has it that his outfit will be pulled out of the Ypres Salient and sent south to the Somme. “This will be an eventful happening,” says Ball, “as Canadians stood their ground in this place and have held it since.” The Battle of the Somme was horrifically bloody. On the first day, July 1, 1916, British generals launched a series of assaults into withering German artillery and machine-gun fire. British troops fell by the thousands. By the time the day was over, more than 57,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing. The battle would continue, sporadically, until November 18. By then, Germany had suffered 500,000 casualties; France, 200,000; and Britain, 420,000. Of the British casualties, 27,000 were Canadians; 23,000 Australians; 7,400 New Zealanders; and 3,000 South Africans. A German officer, Friedrich Steinbrecher, wrote, “Somme. The whole history of the world cannot contain a more ghastly word.”
Grad a coffee and read the whole thing.
It was a pretty tasty nothingburger:
The alleged journalists of the legacy media spent all weekend denouncing President Trump and the GOP for ignoring their warnings against the release of the infamous FISA Memo. The party line from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and countless lesser outlets that parrot their “news” stories is that the memo was both a “nothingburger” and a dangerous attempt to undermine federal law enforcement agencies. Immediately upon its release the Times published a column titled, “Devin Nunes’s Nothingburger.” Then, 24 hours later, the Gray Lady published another piece under the headline, “The Memo Doesn’t Vindicate Trump. It’s More Proof of Obstruction.”
VDH:
“Elite” is now an overused smear. But it is a fair pejorative when denoting a cadre that is not a natural or truly meritocratic top echelon, but is instead a group distinguished merely by schooling, associations, residence, connections and open disdain. If this is supposed to translate into some sort of received wisdom and acknowledged excellence, ordinary Americans may be pardoned for missing it.
Europe no longer belongs to the Europeans. The Islamic power grab has taken place, silently, without democratic legitimacy and without debate.
But the Great Heathen Army paid a steep price for their smash-and-grab raids against the people of Mercia, one of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, whose king they forced into exile in Paris.
After marauding around the countryside, they were eventually beaten by Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, and agreed to peace and Christian baptism. But more than 250 of them ended up in a mass grave beside St. Wystan’s church in Repton, Derbyshire, then a major royal and religious centre of Mercia, in the winter of 874.
In the past, when the FBI has presented inaccuracies to the FISA court, it’s been viewed so seriously that it’s drawn the attention of the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility, which investigates Justice Department attorneys accused of misconduct or crimes in their professional functions.
A male backlash against #MeToo is brewing.
Writing in The American Interest, Claire Berlinski calls the #MeToo movement “a frenzied extrajudicial warlock hunt that does not pause to parse the difference between rape and stupidity” and “a classic moral panic, one that is ultimately as dangerous to women as to men.” She tells a story about how she just discovered she has a new power: the power to ruin the career of a professor she knew at Oxford who grabbed her butt 20 years ago while drunk at a party. “I was amused and flattered,” she writes, saying, “I knew full well he’d been dying to do that. Our tutorials — which took place one-on-one with no chaperones — were livelier intellectually for that sublimated undercurrent. He was an Oxford don and so had power over me . . . But I also had power over him — power sufficient to cause a venerable don to make a perfect fool of himself at a Christmas party. Unsurprisingly, I loved having that power.”
Hopefully, millennials grow up. Churchill purportedly said something akin to ‘a young man who is not socialist has no heart; an older man who is not conservative has no brain”.
As the collapse of the Soviet Union approached, Francis Fukuyama proclaimed the victory of liberal democracy over planned socialism in his 1989 essay, “The End of History?” More than a quarter century later, the USSR has indeed disintegrated. Its former east European empire lies inside the European Union. China has a market economy, though the nation is led by a single party. And the “socialist” states of North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela are in economic ruin. Few now advocate “back to the USSR.” At the same time, many people still consider socialism an appealing economic system. Consider, for example, that Bernie Sanders—an avowed supporter of a socialist United States—is America’s most popular politician—and that as many millennials favor socialism as capitalism.
Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.
Don Cherry dares to disagree with one of the left’s religious dogmas and is immediately attacked by Climate Barbie and her brain-dead cohorts, some of whom are clearly “ageist”.
Veteran hockey broadcaster Don Cherry is facing backlash after appearing to deny the existence of climate change and calling people who believe in the widely accepted phenomenon “cuckaloos.”
Unbiased and parochial Global News [sic] even explains the difference between climate and weather for us dopey folk:
Climate vs. weather
So why then do scientists worry about global warming when it’s cold out? The answer lies in the fact that weather and climate aren’t the same thing.
Weather, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S. points out, is what you experience when you step outside, and it can change quickly from one moment to the next.
Climate on the other hand concerns weather patterns over a long period of time, and changes more slowly.
Seems, though, NOAA has been fudging the facts to fit the narrative, eh, and 2017 was the fakest year evaah.
This stuff never gets old.
A rude awakening in Europe is just around the corner. Hopefully, its treasonous leaders are the first to go.
It is hardly surprising, then, that Europeans have begun to report that they no longer feel at home in their own countries. A recent Belgian study, in which 4,734 Belgians were polled, showed that two-thirds of Belgians feel that their nation is being “increasingly invaded”. Two thirds of the people said that there are “too many immigrants in Belgium”, while 77% agreed with the statement, “Today we no longer feel at home as we did before [mass migration]”. According to 74% of people surveyed, Islam is “not a tolerant religion”, while 60% said the presence of so many Muslims in their nation presents a threat to its identity. Only 12% said they believe the religion is “a source of enrichment” for Belgium.
What we know so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
