Faux-Intellectual Hypocrites Of The Day: MacFarlane, Maher And De Niro

Celebrities say the darnedest things. They know and see all and are willing to impart their words of, ahem, wisdom and genius with the rest of us grovelling peons.

We may not have tires on our front yards, heck we may even have nice teeth, but make no mistake, you may as well to these fine, upstanding paragons of good taste and moral mores.

First up, Roberto De Niro. A bello! A king among actors has devolved into a laughable, angry old man inflicted with TDS. He hasn't stopped 'resisting' and he has the painkillers to prove how hard at work he is raising his fist and swearing at the President.

Fuck Trump! Wooo! Applause! Wooo!

So much for that 'civil discourse' the left keeps harping on about, eh?

Never mind that De Niro has his own personal demons battling with alcoholism and drugs. Trump for his part, doesn't drink and never has done drugs.

One is brokering a peace deal with North Korea and accomplishing some concrete things, The other makes shitty movies now and is reduced to pompously lashing out at the wind.

Maybe he can team up with Meryl Streep and write a book!

Wake up, Punchy! Make it happen!

****

Reminds me of the latest Tweet by some actor named John Legend who said 'Fuck you' to Paul Ryan about families being separated. Like he gave a shit this was happening under Obama too.

#fuckyoutoo!

****

Oh Bill Maher. /waves hand nonchalantly. Giggles.

You're so cute on how you pass your cynicism off as critically thinking. Adding jokes doesn't make it better.

I saw all I needed to know about the depth of Maher's intellectualism after I watched 'Religulous'.

A more shallow showcase in self-masturbation on the subject you will not find. Well, maybe not. There's plenty of ignorance on full display among the progressive left's ranks when it comes to religion.

So it's not surprising from the mind of this sterling intellect he hopes for a recession so that Trump can fail.

Like how they like to tell us to be civil, the left claim to defend the interests of the middle class.

I wonder. How is hoping for a recession helpful to the middle class and below? They're the part of the economy that would disproportionately be affect most by one. Loss of jobs, loss of income, loss of dignity and so on.

But Bill doesn't give a shit. If he did, he would have thought twice about saying such a stupid thing. If he did think, it only points further to his own pomposity and hubris.

Bill and his pals in Hollywood can withstand a recession. They have millions. They can sit and wait it out while sipping martinis while raping each other both sexually and with their sharp wit.

What do they care? They don't have to face the family that can't make their car payments. Sorta like how wealthy progressives love the minimum wage. It don't impact them none. Only those icky deplorables. You know, the ones where urabn-granola-academics pack a peanut butter-jelly sandwich and head off into the interior of Deploraland on a safari.

Here we see a waitress in Cletusville, Kentucky serving patrons in their natural habitat. Later, she will   pick up her daughter from high school and go shooting at the range. It's the most queer of things but full of love!

A cent' anni!

****

Another one who has bitten more than he can chew is Seth MacFarlane.

He's embarrassed to work for Fox.

Okay. So why still work there? If you're soooo principled Seth, I mean, why keep cashing their cheques?

Oh. You think it's safer to virtue-signal from afar than actually put your money where your hypocritical mouth is?

Fox made him fabulously wealthy. He hates Fox.

That in my book makes him a hypocrite.

Seth is more Peter than Brian.

****

All three. Hypocrites (and in the case of perhaps two of them even opportunists) we all know where Dante placed hypocrites.

Fall Of Britain: Reason 39995555

UK government transfers Tommy Robinson to a prison where the majority of prisoners are Muslim raising concern for his life.

I tell you what. If he's killed. May and the UK government will be accomplices in his death.

Remember folks, these are the countries Trudeau would align with to 'stick it to Trump' and France would want a G6 with?

Please.

What in the hell has happened to the United Kingdom?

Grow A Pair Millennials

That Millennials take their fair share of abuse and grief from the great generations that preceded them is an under statement.

I don't know if it's fair but a generation that accepted the concept of micro-aggression, created safe spaces, accepts blindly the Marxist obsession with 'equality of outcomes' and 'diversity', and generally have become an overly sensitive lot have somewhat earned their 'snowflake' tag.

We see their bizarre attitude towards gender and sex manifest itself on campuses and corporations across the continent.

The latest is Netflix who came up with a policy of - are you sitting? - where employees can't look at someone for more than five seconds.

Think about that.

Which makes me wonder: How weak and meek are millennial males to continue to tolerate this insanity? I know we have 'feminist males' roaming around making fools of themselves (see Justin Trudeau) but for the love of God man. MAN UP.

Flirting is one of the most engaging and fun part in the art of seduction. It's a timeless cat and mouse game going back ages. It's what drives us to, um, ecstasy. It's what keeps us normal, healthy and balanced.

I shudder to think how Netflix will enforce this and I really don't want to know. It will take some kind Nurse Ratchet character - that is one unhappy with themselves and life as a whole - to have a stop watch in the office monitoring people.

Just another form of 1984 courtesy of the progressive left folks.

And once again, it has NOTHNG to do with conservatives or Christians.

All I know is thank God I'm not in the shithole that is the modern corporation.

I wouldn't last a day.

How joyless and sinister it has become.

IG Report: In A Nutshell: Fuck You

The IG report is in. Everyone and anything have an opinion. Even though Trump comes out looking the best, the sad reality is American law & order failed the American people.

They admit things were mishandled - even in a bias manner - but claim none of it was political.

So. Instead of having a scheming and corrupted system, they went with...incompetence. The lesser of two evils I suppose.

Americans are all deplorables now.

No wonder low grade men of character like Mueller get to keep doing what they're doing. It's a banana republic shitshow.

Funny how all this damage has nothing to do with Trump, eh?

This is how a populace goes from having healthy skepticism to outright cynicism.

Once cynicism sets in, it's like rust. Impossible to root out without scrapping the whole damn thing.

****

Look, if you haven't figured out what these people were up to it's a shame. They attempted a soft coup. Just the texts alone between Paige and Strzok were about as naked in its content about doing everything possible to get Hillary elected as it comes.

It's the 'yeh, I did it so sue us. We were trying to save the country from itself' routine.

By installing a rotten person in Hillary.

Obama doesn't come out looking good either. At all.

Turns out (in addition to spying on Trump) he was indeed communicating with Hillary while she was on an unsecured server. He pleaded ignorance and why not given he knew the FBI was going to protect him and Hilary. In short, he lied.

So.

Here's what we've got in the narrative. They fabricated and played the 'Trump is a liar' and 'colluded with the Russians' card.

Trump apparently "lied" more than anyone else in human history. Some publications even counted as many as 3000 lies! Yet, all the lying came from one side - for eight years. Making fools of people.

Pick. They lied about the Benghazi story. They lied about spying. They lied about the servers. They lied about Obamacare.

As for collusion (still zero evidence), the only collusion we see found was among the FBI and Hillary supporters. Never mind about their own possible links to Russia.

Folks. Trump's the victim here.

And what the IG report says, to me anyway, is this bunch were worse than Nixon.

Corker: More DNC And Progressive Projection

Bob Corker has claimed the GOP is like a 'cult' because they support Trump.

This is a remarkably false statement to make.

To even casual consumers of politics it was clear Trump is pretty much an outsider with little support.

He not only won the Presidency with most of the media basically looking to defeat him (and in the case of progressive publications after the election, to usurp and impeach him), he didn't even have the full support of his own party.

Even now Fox News personalities are essentially divided into pro and anti-Trump camps while the GOP continues to hold a tenuous relationship with him. Publications like NRO, for their part,  have not fully embraced the President.

In other words, there's no damn cult.

Contrast this to the progressive left during the Obama's tenure that went straight to creepy sycophancy. Chris Mattews probably still has a tingle up his leg and someone should check in on David Brooks to see if he's still 'impressed with Obama's pants'.  Or how about those refashioned American flags?

I don't recall any Democrats publicly challenging Obama either. They fell right into line.

I'm sorry Corker but call me when people start to do shit like this for Trump:







Not pretty, eh?

The truth? The GOP is everything the DNC 'talks' and 'wishes' it was.

Italians In Early America

A couple of posts down I discussed Italians have been part of the Canadian experience since the 15th century first as explorers, traders and even settlers just prior to Confederation. In this one I offer a very brief American version.

I haven't looked into it too much but like the Canadian story, explorers like Verrazzano (Vespucci and Columbus visited the Caribbean and South America) were the first Italians.

By the time the birth of America came, Italians played their part. There was Francis Vigo who fought in the American Revolutionary War as well as Pascal de Angelis.

Italians featured prominently during the Civil War through The Garibaldi Guard founded by Francesco Casale. From Civilwarhome.com:

"....Luigi Tinelli, a former consul to Portugal and an industrialist, had experience as a militia commander; Francesco Spinola recruited four regiments in New York, and was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln to be their general; and Count Luigi Palma di Cesnola, a veteran of the Crimean War, established a military academy in New York City, where many young Italians learned the art of war and later served in the Union army. Their stories are fascinating and colorful. Cesnola, for instance, was left wounded and pinned under his horse after fighting JEB Stuart's cavalry at Aldie, Virginia, in June 1863; while a prisoner of war, he agitated for better treatment for prisoners, to the point that his captors put him in charge of the prison commissary at Belle Isle. Spinola, finding his men of the Spinola Empire Brigade outnumbered six to one in a battle, ordered them to fix bayonets-and they charged, scattering the amazed Southerners before them in disorder."

Then there was the interesting story of one Dr. Fillipo Mazzei who was a close friend of Thomas Jefferson. A man often given credit for contributing to the Declaration of Independence. From his wiki entry: 

"This contribution was acknowledged by John F. Kennedy in his book A Nation of Immigrants, in which he states that:

The great doctrine 'All men are created equal' and incorporated into the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, was paraphrased from the writing of Philip Mazzei, an Italian-born patriot and pamphleteer, who was a close friend of Jefferson. A few alleged scholars try to discredit Mazzei as the creator of this statement and idea, saying that "there is no mention of it anywhere until after the Declaration was published". This phrase appears in Italian in Mazzei's own hand, written in Italian, several years prior to the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Mazzei and Jefferson often exchanged ideas about true liberty and freedom. No one man can take complete credit for the ideals of American democracy."

Full scale Italian immigration took place throughout the 1800s and into the 20th century.

Italians in North America have been explorers, merchants and traders, soldiers and settlers and immigrants from the day it was discovered by Europeans.

The majority of those who built this continent in its formative years were from England and France. Ireland and Scotland. Holland and Germany. But the Italians, though not in great numbers, were part of the process. By the time the 19th century came, Italians were kicking into high gear in greater numbers.

It's something not often acknowledged in 'official' history books (like in Canada, interned Italians during WWII are barely ever mentioned) but this blog brings to light.

Russia In Context

Let's see.

Russia paid $100 000 worth of ads on Facebook which was probably seen by less than 100 000 people.

Russia paid Bill Clinton $500 000 to speak. An act that surprised the FBI who then had to act after a Russian spy got closer to...Hilary.

Russia gave the Clinton Foundation $145 million. 

Never mind that the investigation is headed up by a most unsavoury character in Mueller who has the ethics of a Hun. An investigation that is destroying lives and making the United States look like a banana republic.

All because, probably, the DNC are knee deep in so much shit they have to somehow deflect from it. Remember. They thought Hillary was going to win and she was just going to erase all the wrong doing.

Then Trump for elected.

Food for thought.

DeNiro: Meh (Updated)

I don't have a lot to say about De Niro (Fuck Trump! Wooo!). I think it's pretty clear to smart people Hollywood is a bit of a laughing stock. Nor do I care him apologizing to Canadians for Trump.

The best way I can express my disdain for Hollywood and the talk show circuit is by way of the Bible. Quoting The Bible is also a good way to make the head of your average prog malcontent explode.

Proverbs 26:12 says it so very well. “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.”

Trump has since found time to respond:

"President Trump, hilariously finding time during an unprecedented and high-stakes peace summit with North Korea, took to his favorite social media site, Twitter, to go after the famed actor, calling him "Low IQ" and "punch-drunk."

"Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be 'punch-drunk,'" smacked Trump, adding that De Niro fails to "realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country."

"Wake up Punchy!" the president finished off the colorful message."

Punchy. PERFECT. 

As they say, in Italian 'a fatto bene'.

He did good.

Truth

I figured this out in the early 2000s. My aunt and uncle have been warning about this since the 1980s and everyone thought to be nuts.

As time goes on, they look more and more prescient.

Be aware.

North Korea Agrees To Denuclearization

This is probably the most significant foreign policy development in the last 25 years. A war begin in 1950 that never really ended may finally come to a close with North Korea looking to lay down its aggression.

I find it very odd the way the progressive left is reacting. They'd rather have South Korea and the region in danger so long as 'Drumpf' doesn't get credit is the short of it from what I can decipher - to the extent you can decipher remedial progressive logic.

Not sure why they're banging on the 'we just legitimized a bad man' drum when they applauded Obama with normalizing relations with Cuba - a communist dictatorship run by murderers.

Trump's diplomacy tactics are interesting. He knows how to assuage a sociopath egotistical dictator like Kim. By contrast, perceived beta males like Macron and Trudeau (and famously low energy Jeb Bush), he employs a different hook. I'm almost sure it's by design.

In any event, who cares? Let them spit into the wind. We all know how that ends up.

This is a true piece of peace by Trump.

We'll see if the boobs at the Nobel Peace Prize committee have the balls to give him one.

****

The other part of Trump's foreign policy outlook is he's once and for all calling the bluff on the charade where the military is concerned.

For decades we all knew the United States military was subsidizing other nations militaries. It allowed, so the theory goes, for them to go off and build generous welfare apparatuses (though the U.S. has a pretty elaborate one itself - progressive welfare is a powerful aphrodisiac). That is what they saved in kicking in maintaining their militaries or NATO, they shifted into welfare.

Lucky them.

And are they grateful? Or at least mindful so that it's discounted in their rhetoric?

Not in my opinion.

At every turn, they seem to enjoy chastising the United States for its 'backwardness' and 'uncivil' behaviour towards its own citizens.

It's an unfair and inaccurate charge if you ask me, and it sounds like Trump is a President that represents a large segment of the American population that has tired of it.

Don't like us? Arrangez-vous is what he's saying.

It gets even more dark when you consider Europe tends to tag along (or when it's safe initiates its own) on various U.S. led missions - mostly to defend their interests under the umbrella of American guns. France loves to have America do its dirty work and then insult it when something goes wrong. All this plus they declined to finish paying back the loan portion of the Marshall Plan. Heck, I think they just stopped paying in the 1960s. How's that for gratitude?

And we have to listen to France yap on about the G7 becoming the G6? Ma va.

That's the last country Canada should align its interests with.

In any event, these are just years of observances and it seems to have reached a 'we've had enough' climax.

The world isn't ending.

On the contrary, outside a few progressives in Hollywood and urban centres, Americans are relatively pleased.

Quick Hits: G7 Summit

I have a lot to say about this G7 summit but have no time to work it all out at the moment.

Just quick thoughts:

1) It's cute how France is leading a rebellion as if they matter. Love the G6 bit. Good one guys. /flicks France's ear.

2) OT: France and the UK are no longer powers and shouldn't have a Permanent seat at the UN.

3) I see where Trump is coming from. The whole network and system is built and predicated on America propping up the G7. The United States military budget is what it is, in part, because it has to defend their sorry asses.

4) He has a point about Canada's excessive dairy tariffs. The dairy industry is waaaayyy too strong here. So much so it bamboozles Canadians into thinking we have the 'best quality' milk with no hormones. It's actually anti-free trade and benefits exclusively one province: Quebec. Why should Canada keep this charade up for this industry and for one province? Does it make sense to you one of Canada's wealthiest family - Saputo - is a dairy producer? Can it be it benefitted a tad too much from the tariffs? No wonder they're the richest in Quebec. That's a lotta mozzarella. To be honest, I always by other brands just out of principle.

I want to support Canada on this but it's not tenable. It's a cartel and we're in the wrong.

The truth? The United States has consistently been the freest economy in the world that Canada and EU disproportionally benefitted from. It's the same with China. The USA is the engine of global prosperity. Not France. Not China. Not anyone.

And Trump knows this.

I hate these lousy multi-lateral; multi-year deals that get administered by some unaccountable bureaucracy. Canada and the USA should make real head to head deals. I'm pretty sure Canada's 'free trade' deal with the EU comes with all sorts of EU rules we have to adhere to. And in case you haven't noticed through all those stupid emails about privacy and cookies because of EU regulations, they can make things very Byzantine. Forget the EU. Our economy is set up as one to be an appendage to the United States. Our elites chose this a long time ago and there's not a whole lot we ca do about it now. Switching over to the EU in an attempt to 'diversify' changes nothing except the language.

We need to be very realistic lest we lose some access to American products.

In a way, Trump is doing us a favor if it finally rids of our monopolistic economic landscape. We don't have a free market. We have a market owned by certain companies who divide it up amongst each other. From telecom to the CRTC to dairy to banking.

Worse, Canadians have been conditioned to believe this is how it's done and it's the 'best way.'

Time for Canadians to wake and grow up.

5) However, his complete dismissal and lack of respect of the special bond and trade intricacies between Canada and the USA is a bit much. Heck, he's even making me agree with Justin and his loose eyebrow on this. I swear, if Trump inadvertently gets Trudeau elected, I'm never going to forgive him. There's already some 'stand behind Trudeau' stances out there.

6) Still, Canada should tread carefully. Our interests still rely and lie with the USA; not the EU. Just a fact and reality. Besides, I wouldn't trust France and the EU with a 20-foot pole. Just hash it out with the Americans one on one.

7) Timing is everything. Canadians voted 'for change' when they gave Trudeau a majority government. It was a remarkably stupid thing to do in my view but this is what the country selected. And now we're learning elections have consequences in Canada too. One has to wonder if things would have been handled differently under a much more experienced Harper.

Trump is not bluffing and Trudeau better think twice about trying to play tough guy behind Trump's back.

Canadians are finding out in the flesh, once they let their nationalist emotions go, Canada doesn't have a whole lot of leverage given it's a semi-diversified, branch plant economy. We also chose to off load our defence capabilities onto - wink - the United States. The question should always have been among our diplomats and so-called brain trust: What if one day an American president pulls the plug? Makes noise about the arrangement? Are we prepared? Did we take full advantage of our deals with the U.S.? It doesn't look or sound like it.

We made our bed. We get preferential treatment from the United States. We piggy back off their prosperity. We don't contribute to military defences to the extent we should. And the Americans tolerate it. Maybe because they bought into the special relationship bond. Canadians take it for granted.

We must lie in this bed.

Jack Dorsey: Coward

And a pathetic one at that.

It's kinda ironic he called out, eh? Well, if you want to call it a 'call out' by Soledad (a Harvard grad!)

If Dorsey was remotely thinking he'd realize 'man, we're really not free with al these shrill assholes ready to pounce on anything we say or do!' but he isn't so he won't.

Also, why is he posting receipts of his lunch anyway? Grow up already.

Honestly. He feels he was 'wrong' to eat Chick-fil-A?

Are idiot progs still on that stupid story?

I could have thrown this in the derp links but I want this to be a stand alone.

Remember kids, he decides what gets blocked on Twitter. And Dorsey has revealed himself to be a progressive. The reaction from the remedials who inhabit its cult progressive ranks has been predictable.

That is, without rational thought.

Tyranny Has A Face

Whenever you want to pin a face on tyranny just watch this clip. It comes cross-eyed:



Jaw dropping stuff.

Poor fuckers getting a taste of their own medicine. Imagine that. A citizen defending his own fucken property is considered 'bad'.

Moreover, notice how she just plainly and smugly admits she 'takes land from ordinary citizens'.

As for that guy, I bet someone is getting greased and that's the real reason why they're pissed. Laying down pipes isn't as simple as they make it sound and once they get his property they'll fuck him over every chance they get.

We all know how these things work.

****

The other interesting part is how social media flushes such people out. Once upon a time they were able to manage their evil deeds (always wrapped in the 'greater good' blanket) and hide. No one would be the wiser.

They can't hide anymore.

And we see how ugly they are.

The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be. Because these 6 countries represent values, they represent an economic market which has the weight of history behind it and which is now a true international force

Cute how the French still think they matter. 

Whatever you say Macky. /flicks ears.

Represent 'values'. What does he mean exactly? And Justin most certainly doesn't share the 'values' I have hold for Canada.

It's amusing howTrump has them all jostling around trying to keep any semblance of self-importance. The only two countries that seem to be mature in the age of Trump in the G7 are Japan and Italy.

It's a marvel how long both France and the UK have managed to keep the charade going that they're actually a military power. They have no business each having a permanent UN seat at this stage of the game.

The bottom line is French power is only as strong to the extent the Americans back it. That's the reality.

So go back to your faux-righteous cubby hole, pay your share of the NATO budget, make good on the Marshall debt owed to the USA, and stop with the bull shit already.

As for Canada, as mentioned, Justin better tread carefully. Our interests isn't with the EU. It's with the United States. It would be astonishingly stupid to side agains the U.S. given our geographical proximity, and economic and cultural ties.

Trump is just sabre rattling. Let the Europeans do their pearl clutching, but Canada should know better.

It's worth noting, Canada is in the G7 because of the United States. We're not a finished goods economy and as such, are just an attachment to the United States empire. Believe you me, the French would throw Canada to the wolves the second it was politically expedient to do so.

Don't bother entering this trap.

Spare me the values crap. We made our bed. Lie in it.

Kim Kardashian 1 Lebron James 0; The Depravity Of Progressivism And Virtue Signalling

Life works in mysterious ways.

As a person who spends his fair share of time improving his knowledge in the never ending quest for truth, let's just say I'm not a fan of Hollywood celebrities. The more I dig, the more I loathe their superficial and transparent ideological bent to the point of eliciting pity.

There is nothing more banal and useless than a celebrity pontificating and offering their views on the issues of the day. So much so, it's painfully obvious to an informed mind they have a tenuously shallow disposition. It's almost as if they read one book and presto! Expert!

And boy do the shameless ignorant bots in the media at large eat and drink it up!

It's so bizarre you have CNN's Jim Acosta lambasting Trump's meeting with Kim Kardashian as unacceptable. This from a guy who interviewed some guy named John Legend (?) who met with Obama. In fact, has there ever been a more insufferable President who did the celebrity shtick more than Obama? His presence on the late night show and ESPN circuit was ubiquitous. No one seemed to care then, right? How many hip hop stars visited the White House? These aren't exactly the 'cream' of our society given their rap - excuse the pun - sheets. Mind you, they go hand in hand with crooked politicians and sycophant 'journalists' like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and our dear Mr. Acosta.

And what of Kim? Here's a person whose claim to fame is she put out a sex tape and just...exists. Hey, all the power to her as people seem pulled to the Kardashian clan for some reason. Free markets and free minds as they say. Who am I to judge?

But she did manage to get Trump to listen to her on prison reform and he responded by pardoning Alice Johnson.

It's a small gesture. Perhaps a token one given the sheer amount of people who languish in prison under unfair sentences. But maybe this is the start of something bigger?

And once again, progressives are just showing their true colours if they dismiss this significant act.

Two years into his term Trump has managed more on social issues than Obama did. He's enacted tax reform. He's working on immigration reform and now prison reform. He signed a 'right to try' bill to boot.

In the process, he's showing to be much more progressive for ALL Americans than Obama ever could.

All issues past Presidents - most notably Obama - simply yapped about but did exactly jack shit. This is the part where fans of Obama scream, 'but he tired! GOP obstructionism! He was waiting to make deals!"

Yeah-k I say. Can it be he never was really into those things?

Anti-Trump Rhetoric

An interesting aspect to all this is Kardashian requested a meeting with the President to plead her case. She used her popularity and leveraged it to get into the Oval Office for what I think is an important issue.

Rather than partake in counter-productive marches and engage in pointless screeds against the President, she worked with him.

And this exposes the shallowness of Lebron James, NFL players and other 'woke' virtue signallers.

While they chirp and squawk from the comforts of their privileged status, Kim actually did something concrete. Steve Kerr's musings are tantamount to 'man yells at clouds'.

As an aside, the position taken by the Philadelphia Eagles - a team I love - was the wrong one. Period.

I just don't see precisely what this President has done that has earned such scorn. It's baffling.

If they cared. I mean truly cared, they'd use their own positions and request a chat with the President.

What do they have to lose?

Or are they afraid at finding out they were wrong?

I fully expect the media to spin this story negatively. They have to guard against the reality that in fact, Obama's Presidency was a failed one in such matters. Mostly because, I'm positing, he just didn't care. It wasn't politically expedient as it were.

That's why the comforting narrative the 'GOP obstructed' everything. 'Hey man! I tried but you know!'

Kim just dunked over your head, Lebron.

****

The progressive narrative since Trump's election has been dizzying to say the least. It's almost impossible to make sense of what exactly they're thinking. There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to their grievance. So confused and out of whack they are and so blinded by their hate for Trump and those who voted for him, they'd vote against Obamacare if he came out and supported it.

They hate war under Trump. But tolerated it under Obama. They hammer on a 'white supremacy' plot that barely survives even the most basic of scrutiny. They are willing to further fracture an already confrontational rivalry with Russia over what amounts to a DNC fabricated lie and even question the very essence of their electoral laws all because their own crook didn't get elected.

Heck, they've even unpersoned legendary liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Jeffrey Toobin it is! He keeps the line.

They live in an 'alt-reality'.

So precariously obtuse is their sophistry.

****

This assumption the progressive left is somehow morally correct is, well, bunk. I read 'The Gulag Archipelago' for the first time when I was 17. I had a head start in cutting through all the bull shit Hollywood sold. The more they claimed to be the victim, the more I realized they were indeed outright pinko commies.

And still are. It takes a special kind of 'not paying attention' to not see it. It's in your damn face all the time. It also comes with smug smirks.

Look at it this way. When Antifa engages in violence and then screams they're victims are people defend themselves, that's exactly how Hollywood and the assholes in both the legacy and social media act when called out.

See here for more on the lie of McCarthyism as sold by the likes of intellectual giants as Woody Allen and George Clooney.

To continue. Take for instance, the fact time and again throughout history, Democrats were on the 'wrong side of history' (their own frivolous term) on issues pertaining, for example to the civil rights.

But given their talent for rewriting history no problem. We'll just 'rearrange' some facts in our favor and voila! Those Democrats were actually Republicans!

The majority of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights act and a majority of Democrats didn't. But the tables have reversed!

Never mind (D) Robert Byrd -and close friend to the Clintons - was Senate Majority leader until recently despite his KKK affiliation. He was really Republican at heart. Wink.

Never mind that Larry Ellison - a top ranking DNC official - claimed George Wallace was...you guessed it....Republican.

Hey Remember when JFK (what color was his party again?) didn't allow Sammy Davis Jr. to sing at The White House? A member of the Rat Pack no less!

Yet, celebrities strangely and retardedly stubbornly still think Democrats are a-okay? A party that tolerates rape culture more than the GOP ever could?

What of Bill Clinton claiming William Fulbright - an anti-semite (and don't be fooled by their switch to anti-Zionist either. It's just the same anti-Jew crap packaged differently) and segregationist - was one of his heroes?

But don't expect Wiki to help you out. Here's how they do their part to clean up the evilness of people so long as they vote 'right' and have a little 'D' next to their name:

"James William Fulbright (April 9, 1905 – February 9, 1995) was a United States Senator representing Arkansas from January 1945 until his resignation in December 1974. Fulbright is the longest serving chairman in the history of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A Southern Democrat and a staunch multilateralist who supported the creation of the United Nations, he was also a segregationist who signed the Southern Manifesto. Fulbright opposed McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committeeand later became known for his opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War. His efforts to establish an international exchange program eventually resulted in the creation of a fellowship program which bears his name, the Fulbright Program."

Amazing stuff. Don't expect much on his racism. 

And we're to suspend the reality of these facts and believe, in mid-air I might add, Trump is the racist?!

That's some magic luger.

What about California in all its inglorious progressive mendacity? The more they prog, the more they reveal themselves to be the very racists the left loves to tag everyone as.

What about the Obamas you ask? Different folks, but the same strokes if you get my drift. You think they weren't bit by the 'whitey' or 'God damn America' bug?

Come on. I've got this bridge, see?

If mental gymnastics was an Olympic sport they'd win gold every time.

Such is their knack for the unbelievable.

Men are from Mars, women from Venus and progressives from Pluto. So out there they've gone, I can't even give them a planet.

I started to notice this right around the time Stephen Harper was elected. Up until that time, the idea popular vote wasn't all that important unless it converted into seats was the norm. PM's  generally won with call it 30% of the national vote. It's just how things work out given there are 2  1/2 parties plus a couple of other ones in recent years that cut into it.

So they decided to 'repurpose' how things should be viewed. So '34%' popular vote actually meant 66% didn't vote for Harper ergo he had no mandate! He had to work with the other parties (that is, give in to their demands). Of course, aside this is the historical reality of things, this bird brain bamboozle wasn't applied when dear Justin was elected. I hardly heard that more than half the country didn't vote for him. Justin doesn't have to listen to anyone because, well, HE WON A MAJORITY! Just like Harper did.

Exact same thing but not the same thing. Some are more equal than others and all that.

Remarkable stupidity to us not possessed by partisan ideology. But to them. Logic.

Some may say both sides do it. I counter no they don't. I rarely saw the conservative right drop to such depths. Conservatives tend to be, well conservative. Thoughtful. More measured. That the left claims they're emotional is just projection on their part.

Just my observation over the years.

Today Is D-Day

When the Canadians and Americans along with Britain stormed the beaches of Europe at Juno and Omaha and kicked ass.

Remember.

Remember when we stood for something. 

Italians Were Pioneers In Canada's Development

One of my pet peeves about Canadian history books - besides its overt progressive narrative - is the constant omission of Italians detailing their place in Canada particularly when it comes to their arrival and internment camps in the 20th century.

As such, this reduces the Italian experience to just any other community group.

In fact, this is a trend not just for them but French-Canadians (the original Canadiens; habitants as it were) as well. When the academic and political classes use the term 'nation of immigrants' you have to be careful with that because it tries - or at least gives the impression - to 'equalize' all communities with the original pioneers that came from Europe. Hence we see 'tricks' of manipulative comments about how everyone 'contributed' as if they were here from the beginning.

It's just not so. There was an original source. That is, the pioneers who laid the tracks.

While the majority came from France and England, Ireland (of which they numbered more than the English at one point. It wasn't until the 20th century the English surpassed the Irish), Scotland and Germany, Italians were among those pioneers. Not in as great numbers but they were present.

Keep in mind, the concept of immigration is, to me anyway, one that finds proper definition and expression within the construct and confines of the nation-state.

Prior to 1867 there was no 'Canada' as a nation-state. In fact, for decades North America was just a land mass first inhabited by First Nations with no clear demarcation border lines. Even the Natives came from 'somewhere else'. Do we call them immigrants? Of course not.

And so it was when Giovanni Caboto landed in 1497. During the Age of Exploration, Italy had not consolidated power into a nation-state remaining a collection of untied city-states and Kingdoms for the most part. As such, you had situations where Italians were behind the scenes players on the international stage because cities like Genoa or Venice were no longer powers during a period of the Great Powers.

Italians were bankers funding exploration and lent their talents and resources - for example, as traders and merchants - in other areas including explorers like the Caboto brothers, Giovanni Verrazzano and Amerigo Vespucci.

While the Pier 21 website notes 1870 as a starting point, the first batch of Italian settlers actually date back to the 17th century. According to the Library Archives of Canada:

"The first Italian to land in Canada was the explorer Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) in 1497. However, the first settlement of Italians in Canada did not occur until 1665 when soldiers from areas of what is now present-day Italy were recruited by the French army to be part of their Carignan-Salières Regiment. Italians also served with the British military in Lower Canada in the de Meuron and de Watteville Regiments during the War of 1812. When the regiments were disbanded in 1816, some of soldiers stayed in Canada, settling in Ontario and the Eastern Townships in Quebec."

But like Pier 21, it doesn't acknowledge there was, from what I gather, an earlier settlement dating back to 1840s explained here in more detail.

"Italian Canadians are amongst the earliest Europeans to have visited and settled the country. The steadiest waves of immigration, however, occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. Italian Canadians have featured prominently in union organization and business associations. As a group, they were singled out as enemy aliens due to Canada's allegiances in the Second World War, and have been stereotyped as mafiosi due to widespread portrayals of organized crime as an Italian phenomenon. 

However, the community as a whole has thrived in Canada, and Italians have played a major role in developing and promoting multiculturalism."

Which, in a perverse way, denies their role in early Canada. Multiculturalism as policy is misguided. 

"...In the early 19th century, a sizable number of Italians, many in the hotel trade, resided in Montréal. Throughout the century, Italian craftsmen, artists, musicians and teachers, primarily from northern Italy, immigrated to Canada. Italian street musicians (hurdy-gurdy men, street singers) were particularly noted by Canadians, and by 1881 almost 2,000 people of Italian origin lived in Canada, particularly in Montréal and Toronto.

In 1897, Mackenzie King, then working as a journalist, described the first street entertainer who lived in Toronto in the 1880s. This early Italian immigrant, King wrote, had worn out five street pianos and earned an average of $15 daily in his first years in the city. Some of the wandering street musicians eventually settled down to teach music or to organize bands and orchestras."

The same King who would later intern Italians. 

I don't know why the history books ignore this fact. Just like interned Italians is often overlooked in history books. We here a lot more about Japanese internment camps (which was in greater numbers and more focused) but thousands of Italians were either interned or placed under a strict curfew during WWII by both the U.S. and Canadian governments.

Maybe they want to keep the narrative  restricted to Protestants and the dominant Northern countries?

Regardless, the reality is Italians were pioneers in North America.

It would be nice to have this officially - or at least substantially - acknowledged in the history books.

****

Why mention all this? Aren't we a multi-cultural society and bleed into one anyway? Didn't all cultures contribute to the development of not only Canada but the United States.

Yes.

But some more than others.

There's been a trend in academia I've detected where it tries to 'equalize' all cultures as if they're one and the same.

There is no culture better than another.

Unfortunately, this is wrongheaded and simply not true.

I know it's un-PC to say such things in the current zeitgeist but reality has a funny way of forcing through truth.

Worse, in my opinion, this kind of 'rewriting' of history tells people that somehow their pride in their culture is tied to ensuring history books ignore, for example, the British and French were the original European settlers as well as, as mentioned above, the Irish, Scots, Germans, and though in much smaller numbers Italians.

I leave the Natives aside for the moment since I'm focusing on Europe. However, even First Nations is a victim of this in an indirect manner. By Canadian history books denying the European character of Canada, it inadvertently does the same to First Nations. Ironically, First Nations - though very well protected in the history books - nevertheless is put on par with, say, immigrants who arrived in the 1960s and 1970s. Sri Lankans gave just as much as First Nations for example.

It's a double edge sword, is it not?

It's saying in order for you to feel comfort in your culture that we insist you maintain, you have to ignore or forget who forged and settled the land.

Let me expand. I'm of Italian heritage. 3rd generation. Does it hurt my attachment  or any affinity I may hold for Italy if I acknowledge the original facts of Canada?

Of course not. But I fear that's what some academics are doing.

They're saying 'Look. It's true about the European settlers but how can we foster a post-national society with these inconvenient facts? We need you to keep to your identity and our wise multicultural policy will ensure you remain a hyphenated Canadian. You're all equal in your special way.'

To that I say, 'fuck that'.

It's cultural relativism by other means. The reality is Sri Lankans didn't give as much as, say, Germans. Maybe down the road they will, but they can't alter the past and the past says Germans laid the groundwork as pioneers.

It's not 'white supremacy' talking. Just history. Facts.

That there were racist elements - ie speak white - is true but hardly indicative of the society at large back then and certainly not a reason to erase the past. It's worth noting, politically, as this blog points out repeatedly those racist elements usually came by way of....progressive academics and scientists as the eugenics movement and minimum wage laws clearly show.

There's also the notion that because my family are immigrants, I should automatically accept the 'Canada is a nation of immigrants' position. I hadn't realized I was condemned to holding one thought not permitted to exercise my own opinion in the matter.

In any event, Canada encourages separateness under its flag. The United States, by contrast, opts for the melting pot - at least until recently.

In terms of cohesiveness and the ensuring the values of a nation (the elephant word in the room and not the subject of this post), it has to be the American way.

Concepts like the First and Second Amendments are alien to the vast majority of countries including Canada and Europe believe it or not. We  it on a basic level but we lack a deeper understanding of what those amendments are saying.

This is what sets America apart from any nation in world history.

Bringing it back to Canada.

You may have noticed an interesting contradiction where Quebec is concerned. Quebec protects its identity more aggressively than any other province. However, it too is slowly falling prey to the modern 'one world' idea.

But there's an extra layer we have to peel first.

Quebec nationalists, in an effort to protect itself in its mind, slowly erased the English fact in Quebec. Where they can, they ignore here, rewrite there. Before you know it, where are les Anglais? They do what modern academics do on a national scale to Canada and the USA.

Both are wrong and both will force a day of reckoning.

Quebec is right to ensure its history is not forgotten. It's wrong on how it goes about it. Here, they've decided the biggest threat are the Anglos (including myself) because of the language - and now I'm really going beyond the intended purpose of this post.

In fact, I'll take the opportunity to end the post here lest it drags on.

What Does A Rat Look Like?

The Mayor of Edgewater is a good start.



Stossel taking it to the bastards.

A journalist with real balls. What a bunch of cowards NYC journalists are. They're good to write shitty op-eds about Trump in the NYT or long-winded and puerile pieces in The New Yorker, but corruption in their faces?

Why is Stossel doing their dirty work? Are they that much of a podunk town? At least Montreal confronts its corruption now. 

Short Derp: No, Bill Wasn't A Victim; Mueller: Hero To The Left; Scum To The Rest; Eagles Disappoint

Let's keep this real, m'kay?

Bill Clinton sexually took advantage of a college intern and when it became too much of a distraction he and his wife - The Witch - destroyed the girl's life.

The Clintons are awful, awful people. And the fact they have the gall to continuously claim they were victims of something is beyond the pale.

To anyone with a properly calibrated moral compass, they're a couple of opportunistic sociopaths.

How the DNC squares their alleged respect for women with these two is a mystery. Well, it's not that much of a Clue moment. Recall feminists came to his defense and left the actual victims out to the wolves.u

And Hillary. What more has to be said of this loser?

The Clintons have no class. Have you heard from the Bushes since they left office?

On other hand, the Clintons and Obamas keep their faces in the news.

No class.

****

In watching the banana republic antics of Comey and Mueller, a thought occurred to me. Namely, imagine the horrible stuff FBI/CIA bureaucrats turned a blind eye to?

Bureaucrats are beholden to themselves before the people and the truth.

Mueller's past is prove of this.

And quite a scummy one at that.

Mueller is human garbage. He also hounded, if memory serves me right,  two people during the anthrax that led to the suicide of one.

****

Call me crazy, call me old fashioned but as a long time Eagles fan since 1980, I'm very disappointed in their behaviour.

The idea they won't go because of the President is disrespectful to the office.

I wonder how these guys would feel if someone did it under Obama.

Oh, Tim Thomas did and do you remember the reaction? The left called him every name in the book but I'm sure they've shifted their opinion this time around.

Everyone needs to chill but with the Warriors set to win another championship, I expect more of this nonsense.

Regardless of the anthem or kneeling, the bottom line the Eagles were playing stupid political games and Trump called them out.

They need to get off the DNC plantation. I don't recall Obama doing a whole lot for their community. Trump not only has a history prior to politics of helping blacks, black unemployment has dropped under his watch.

The players don't seem to grasp fans who pay a fortune to go watch games don't want to be lectured by them. People aren't stupid. They know it has a lot to do with Trump. They know hypocrisy when they see it and they're right to call it out.

Players have a right to speak, but not on their employers dime. Simple as that. Do it during the week. Write op-eds.  Do it in the off season. All the power to you if you can change opinions and minds.

But the reality is the fans have spoken and its not resonating. Not because they're racist or ignorant. But because it's not the place to do it.

The Eagles should have taken the high road. They won a title for crying out loud. It's celebratory!

Instead, they chose to let politics get in the way.

Very disappointing.

MEGA: Make Europe Great Again

The Trump Effect is sweeping Europe.

Last year, Holland and Austria voted in centre right parties. The UK opted out of the EU.

A massive wave to the tune of 70% of Italians voted for so-called nationalist/populist parties. Italy went where France couldn't and became the first major nation after the USA to do so.

Today, tiny Slovenia went right.

Something's cooking folks.

The media is gonna have to spin harder.

Youtube Plays Its Part In Creating An Ignorant Class

Youtube is great. But it's also evil. It's getting involved in something they would be wise to avoid: Policing speech and ideas.

It's getting to the point where the definition of what constitutes 'offensive' is wide and loose.

You would think calling someone, say, a 'nigger' is their standard and it hovers at that standard but you'd think wrong. It enters the foray of subjectively determining what is legitimate criticism and what is not.

Take this video and the Battle of the Bulge. Youtube nixed it. You mean to tell me a twerp at youtube is sufficiently well-read, mature and intelligent to make that call? Of course not. They probably have a 'check point list' and away they go. Snowflake identity preserved.

If this subject (and war history is obviously a difficult subject matter sure to cause much debate which indeed is the point if you're gonna foster a strong critical thinking society and culture) is off limits, then we're on a terrible path to creating a generation of ignoramuses. Shoot, my own personal library of books and periodicals (that runs in several hundreds if not thousands at this point), would run afoul of youtube or risk being metaphorically burned by Google (who recently listed California Republicans as 'Nazis') and youtube.

This is highly problematic and contributes to an cult of ignorance I'm witnessing.

Not too long ago I was part of a discussion about WWII with a couple of British 'mutes'. I was flabbergasted and distraught at not only the ignorance, but the arrogance at insisting on being ill-informed (e.g. Americans started WWI, Canadians and Australians didn't contribute to the war effort, Hitler and Britain were going to have peace until the USA ruined it. Rubbish along those lines) about basic, irrefutable facts of the war. I was unable to understand the source of such ignorance until it was explained to me by another Brit of an olde generation (and therefore more literate) that what I was saying is simply no longer taught in British schools. A sort of 'erase from memory' curriculum is making mush heads of British kids.

Hence, why you see them tagging everything a 'fascist' and a 'Nazi'. Obviously it 'makes sense' Trump fits the term. Anyone can when it has no meaning. Even I qualify as a Nazi to these people.

They have no clue of what those terms are because they weren't taught and they clearly haven't invested the personal time to investigate it. If you're not on a personal quest for truth, then you're vulnerable to propaganda and lies fed. If you're properly armed, then you would easily spot BS and the lies of what, for example, CNN and other outlets pimp.

Youtube is a potentially wonderful an powerful took in helping to keep people informed and enlightened where politicized schools won't.

It's a harmful shame they're sliding in the wrong direction on this.

Feminism Is A Racket; Britain Is Not Well

Women who claim only men benefit from white privilege while themselves come from wealthy backgrounds are obviously disingenuous and projecting.

The whole 'you're a racist' and 'toxic masculinity' shtick is tiresome and lame.

It's a belief system made by and for anti-intellectual and remedially minded people.

Feminism have no inner honour. They couldn't care less for average women who suffer. They care about their own damn privilege to maintain and cottage industry to profit from. They scream more about nonsensical stories about Trump than they do the plight of gays and women in the Mid-East where the threat against them is real and on a level you just don't see in the West.

Yet, we're the 'bad guys' so to speak.

As for Western values being superior, the mere fact we have feminism proves it is. Feminism is almost non-existent anywhere else. Among other things.



Northern Europeans often mock Italy and other southern European (ie Portugal, Spain, Greece) nations. But from where I sit, those civilizations and their value structures remain in tact. SJW/PC virus has not penetrated those places (like in Asia) like it has in Northern Europe and North America.

Southern Europe may not possess the political stability and economic organization of the North, but it makes up for it at the social and cultural level. Where it matters most. The institution of the family and belief in Christian values continues to have an impulse there.

And it shows.

I can't fathom how something like ignoring Rotherham and Muslim 'grooming gangs' can happen in a properly calibrated country with an unbroken moral compass like we see in the UK.

As for freedom of speech and liberty at large, Europe as a whole doesn't get a passing grade unfortunately and this needs to be rectified.

Fast.

Thoughts On The Inane: Samantha Bee's Cuntacular Stupidity

Ah.

Ivanka Trump intimately posing with her son is enough to send the left into hyper-melt down mode.

So much so it triggers Bee sparking her to pounce with a gratuitous attack calling Ivanka a 'cunt'.

Picture with son =  cunt.

So brave. So funny. So satirical.

Not only is she a cunt. She's, apparently, a 'white privileged cunt'.

Wait. It gets better. She's getting an award from some organization for 'advancing change'.

And you still don't believe these people are mentally unstable because? It's an abnormal reaction.

So much for the 'civil discourse' they keep harping on about, eh? Or when 'they go low, you go high'!

Amusing. But foul.

Other than that, a couple of things popped into my head after this splendid retardation on full display.

The first is, if Roseanne loses her enormously popular show for her 'racist' comments (which didn't come without it's own set of pearl clutching nonsense), why should Bee keep her low ratings show?

Don't get me wrong. Personally, I don't think either should lose their show. That's what freedom looks like and I stand by my commitment to the principles of free speech.

I'm just pointing out why one must lose and the other not.

Another angle to consider is Ivanka is the daughter of a President. Imagine if someone had called one  of the Obama girls a 'cunt' for having the temerity to pose with a loved one?

No matter how you dice it, there is a cunt in this story.

And it ain't Ivanka.
