OTD in 1941 Soviets started forcibly deporting 50,000 of the Baltic people we had ‘liberated from fascism’. 60% died. 75% were women & kids Imagine mass deportations happening today..

Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2013 on trying to stop a nuclear armed Iran. Sadly, not a lot has changed.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

Meet the billionaire refugee “Zahwa Arafat” the only daughter of Yasser Arafat, the terrorist who led the PLO, launched the Intifadas, and built his empire through violence and fear. She now lives in Paris, owns luxury real estate in London, and inherited billions that came from "Palestinian aid." Despite this wealth, she still qualifies as a “refugee" under UNRWA standards.

I’m all for this initiative, which is being tested in many progressive jurisdictions. There is growing evidence that social media can aggravate pre-existing psychological vulnerabilities and contribute to poorer mental-health outcomes among susceptible youth. A successful policy would require restricted access to the internet not only on personal smart phones but also require password restricted internet access on laptops and computers, especially at home. Scofflaw parents would be subject to penalty. I reckon the incidence of gender dysphoria in youth would plummet! … not disappear, but markedly drop! Thoughts? tj.news/new-brunswick/holt-b…

Canada’s Confederation no longer works for Alberta. In a country governed largely by population weight, Alberta will always be politically subordinate to Ontario and Quebec, no matter how much we contribute or how responsibly we build. With our energy, agriculture, forestry, technology, innovation, and enterprise, Alberta has outgrown an arrangement that asks us to pay the bills while others make too many of the decisions. This is not about anger. It is about maturity, responsibility, and self-government. It is time for Albertans to take control of our future and redefine our relationship with Canada on terms that are fair, respectful, and worthy of the province we have built.

Canada is founded on Judeo-Christian values. We are actually the Dominion of Canada. “For dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.” Psalm 22:28

Great piece by @HadleyFreeman in Britain’s @thetimes about the Great unmarked graves social panic of 2021-26. The story makes Canadians look like gullible idiots, but it’s a valuable international case study in mass hysteria & journalistic incompetence thetimes.com/article/e3548a3…

È partito il gasdotto Transahariano, 4000 km divisi fra Nigeria, Niger e Algeria che porterà in Europa 30 miliardi di metri cubi l'anno di gas naturale. Per decenni Merkel & Co. ci hanno fatto credere che c'era solo il gas russo e invece guarda qua.

The Canadian state media (CBC) uses the word "far-right" almost 10x more than "far-left" in its news headlines.
