"U.S. EPA employees were in tears."http://www.eenews.net/stories/1060045642 …

While idiot celebrities are missing the whole point - as ignorant narcissists are apt to do - THIS is the reason why Americans rebelled. They were being mistreated by government over reach in their lives.

The EPA in particular was out of control destroying numerous families and businesses along the way.

I have ZERO sympathy for these workers. None. 

Let's chalk this up to karma.

What Obama Should Do

For eight years, the President of the United States, I feel, was a divisive President. His rhetoric wasn't any less controversial than Trump. He was just less overt about it. But the quotes are there for public record.

It's a tone people felt and part of the reason why they elected Trump.

It's a perception that's out there. But you know what he should do that could go a long way to soften that legacy up a little?

Speak out, since he always seemed to have an opinion on everything, about the reaction to the election which I think many people find troubling and distasteful. This is not about freedom of opinion; this is people not accepting the democratic choice of a nation.

I saw this with Harper here and it left a (perhaps permanent) bitter taste in my mouth with progressives and faux liberals who reacted in similar fashion. These assholes always lecture people about what's right and they never ever practice it when they have a chance to do so. They're just immature middling minds not worth much.

He should remind people Trump was fairly elected. That they were the ones who were angry when Trump said he wouldn't accept the results in the event of a Hillary win but are doing the very same thing they denounced. (Naturally, they have no principles as I keep pointing out). That the system that gave him two terms is not suddenly a system that needs to be changed because their choice didn't get in. Read them the birds and the bees. The riot act.

He should personally condemn the baseless hurls and accusations of racism and misogyny. This stuff doesn't damage anything except the integrity of the nation he led. A word on this would do much in many books to rethink his legacy.

He should demand that Americans respect the outcome and be quiet.

Finally, he should address the people and ask they come together as one nation.

It would be an act of true leadership.

The Great Unhinged Continues

Again, keep in mind, think about what the alternative was in that miscreant Hillary Clinton. The epic logic fail is stunning.

Like I said, the hypocrisy on display is off the charts.

What the fuck is going on?

Now we have sports coaches suddenly speak about misogyny and race? Are they fucking kidding me? After all that we've seen in sports with spousal abuse and its own race issues, they actually are going to go after Trump? I wonder how many of these full of shit athletes and coaches turned a blind eye not only to those things but drug abuse and violence as well. Celebrities are the last people who should be freaking talking.

Oh my Lord.

Lebron James said he's 'not sure' if he'd visit the White House.

Imagine if someone did that to Obama. Remember when Bruins goalie Tom Thomas didn't go? The left lost their minds.

Steve Kerr, Richard Jefferson, Steve van Gundy, you condescending little prick, you're repeating the very drivel that people are tired of. You clearly voted for Clinton. How many times do people have to explain she was not the right candidate given her own stupidity?

And this shit Trump is racist is horseshit. That was the media manipulating his words. He said unsavoury things but none rise to racism and misogyny. But in today's hysterical world of PC and SJW nuttery, the standard to qualify as such are very low. Shit, a quarter of things I say here can easily pass as racist or misogynistic.

Again. Like the celebrities. Shut up you clowns. If anything, since we talk about the children, I'm going to teach my kid exactly how not react when things don't go your way and to know how to distinguish what is hypocrisy and what are principles.

I don't think these people who displaying faux-self-righteous bull shit it's the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY they disrespecting. Not Trump. Not only that they're belittling the entire process of democracy and the results that come with it. They just freaking alienated 60 million Americans!

The very action on display I guarantee they would not tolerate towards Obama. I guarantee you they'd flap their mouths about how 'disrespectful' it is and all that.

Guarantee because this is all part of the reason Trump was elected. He flushed it all out and they still don't get it.

Are they this arrogant and narrow in their thinking?

They truly believe they sit on a perch above the people.

Thanks assholes. Now you have me rooting for Trump.

Someone should invent a game: CELEBRITY HYPOCRISY.

Celebrities Say The Darnedest Things

The Jerusalem Post 

✔@Jerusalem_Post

Barbra Streisand: I'll move to Australia or Canada if Trump wins presidency http://dlvr.it/M7vlF8  #Diaspora

Don't they always voice this empty threat?

They never move.

Know why?

They have no principles. They're just petulant nit wits.

And stay home. Canada really doesn't need more faux liberals.

Trump Exposed The Derelict Liberal Media

It's incredible how after misleading and lying to the American people the media is going on as if nothing happened.

CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and the CBC (for the love of God will someone give Neil MacDonald his 'pants hitting' pills already! Man, is he nauseating with his anti-American screeds and stupid sophistry. ALL ON MY DIME) up here as well as legacy papers like The New York Times and The Washington Post were are utterly disgraceful and unprofessional during the election campaign. The list of names too numerous to go over here but we know who they are.

They do not deserve to get a pass.

I had to go elsewhere to find what was really happening while these assholes were shills to the DNC and hammering at Trump.

Funny thing this democracy. People know how to spot rats and bull shit.

I can only hope they fall further into irrelevance.

It's a miracle anyone actually thinks they're credible journalists.

Trump exposed them for what they are and once and for all showed there is a liberal bias. Of course, they're cowards and would never admit but he did it for them.

No integrity. No respect.

I have a liberal friend and he emailed me last night. He said and I paraphrase, 'I can see now what you were saying all along. They're dirty and dishonest.'

Yes, they are.

***

So despite being a bunch of loud mouth'd shnooks, you'd think a moment of reflection would descend upon them. One in which they helped dismantle any remaining credibility they may have had among people who desperately wanted to believe journalism was alive. But noooo.

Nope.

They're so shameless they actually think they should be nominated to posts under Trump.

"Trump needs help, she says. And these people need jobs and power, she doesn't say. The elite, her people, lost the election, but they should have the victory anyway, because a "young man" and a "beautiful lady" spoke of fear. Throughout the whole political season, Trump was battered with the fear of fear, and now he's won and he's told to pander to the people who said whatever they could to oppose him, the people who stoked the fear that he needs to prioritize calming. As if it could ever be calmed, as if his opponents will ever stop stoking it.

Not only does Donald Trump not know how to be President, in Noonan's view, he didn't even know how to run for President. He just happened to be there in the midst of a people's movement, an "uprising":

His presidential campaign was bad—disorganized, unprofessional, chaotic, ad hoc. There was no state-of-the-art get-out-the-vote effort—his voters got themselves out. There was no high-class, high-tech identifying of supporters—they identified themselves. They weren’t swayed by the barrage of brilliantly produced ads—those ads hardly materialized. This was not a triumph of modern campaign modes and ways. The people did this. As individuals within a movement."

Burn the whole thing down. 

Trump's Immigration Proposals

Excerpt from Trump's speech:

"The time has come for a new immigration commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration system in order to achieve the following goals:

To keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms.


To select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in U.S. society, and their ability to be financially self-sufficient. We need a system that serves our needs – remember, it's America First.


To choose immigrants based on merit, skill and proficiency.


And to establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.


We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally and properly-vetted, and in a manner that serves the national interest."

Monster!

Oh, but before you snicker dear Canadians, this is pretty much Canadian immigration policy.

Stupid Celebrities

Celebrities urging people 'to fight back' and others want to beat Trump with a baseball bat (including DeNiro - he who espouses anti-vaccine drivel).  It's an impressive list including Madonna and Lindsay Lohan.

Go give a concert to people who give a fuck.

Fight back against what?

Democracy?

The will of the people?

Morons.

Epic Viral Thread Rant

I disagree with his take on Sanders because he's lazy socialist parasite with stupid views and about Trump because we're already seeing Trump moderating. Ironically, this is the good part of Trump's election. He's going to purge all the totalitarians - peacefully.

But this is epic and pretty much spot fucking on.

I did it first and for years bringing this to light on my blog but hey....as long as the madness ends.

SJW days are numbered.

Rejoice!

There's No Such Thing As A Wasted Vote

In investment downturn in markets is a buying opportunity. It's no different when it comes to assessing political outcomes intellectually. The reaction from the losing side of the U.S. election presents an opportunity to challenge and refute claims made by the progressive left.

It's obvious, to anyone who cares to admit it, they're reacting less out of principles and more out of not accepting their candidate lost. In their incredulous minds, this means change is necessary.

They obfuscate the thinking process with blanket claims of racism and misogyny.

Aside, from these assertion comes the notion that voting third party is a 'wasted vote' and therefore 'detrimental' to the two-party system.

No to the former and who gives a shit to the latter.

To think this way is not only profoundly anti-democratic but anti-intellectual. I can't even comprehend how a person voting out of principle - i.e. Gary Johnson - is considered to be wasting their vote. Why should people be forced to vote against their principles; worse have to explain why they did so?

I know in my case, in the last election, had their been a viable 4th option that pulled close to my philosophy and perspectives on things, I would have voted for them. Was I acting derelict?

On the contrary. I was exercising my right to vote. People who vote '3rd party' aren't easily pigeon-holed and tend to be independent thinkers.

In fact, it's downright insulting to those of us who expunge a lot of energy reading and writing about history and politics who happen to have gained (or lost) different perspectives.

Perhaps, in the current calculus of how out systems are designed there's a case to be made that it's 'wasting' but the people who argue this way are just, well, pissed off their side lost and blaming Gary Johnson in the case of the U.S. election is disingenuous and lazy.

Next time put out a better candidate. It shouldn't be too hard to improve on Hillary Clinton.

Stop your crying and your indignant faux self-righteous bull shit and offer real ideas people can support.

Chop, chop.

Challenge Them At Every Turn

From the LP of Alabama:

An Open Letter to George Takei:

You've argued that since Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, but Donald J. Trump won the electoral vote, "The people elected Hillary, the system elected Donald." Given the corrupt, rigged system you've supported during the last decades, It's hard to take that as anything but hypocrisy.

You must know that the Commission on Presidential Debates exists only to keep out everyone besides the Democrats and Republicans (before the CPD, the League of Women Voters ran open debates). You must know that the cutoff was raised from 5% to 15% after Ross Perot actually made it to 5%, threatening the status quo. You must know that millions of Americans were denied their right to full knowledge of their electoral choices. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, both anti-war candidates with millions of followers, were hidden from the American people.

Where was your outrage then? When the American people were tricked into believing they had to choose between two pro-war, pro drug war candidates in a rigged debate, where was your moral opposition? When Gary Johnson, a candidate whose foreign policy literally embodies the Prime Directive, was kept hidden, why was your Twitter account silent? 

Do you only stand on principle when it favors your candidate? Do you only notice a rigged system when it hurts your team?

Even Terry Michael, who wrote the original press release announcing the creation of the Commission on Presidential Debates has found the moral courage to oppose that rigged system. Where is yours?

True courage involves standing up to all unfair parts of the rigged election and debate system. "Standing up" to the one part that hurt your candidate AFTER the fact just doesn't cut it. Something tells me that if the situation were reversed, you would have found a way to argue that the electoral college was a good thing after all.

Just Who Are The Deplorables Here?

They're out of their minds.

Total tone deafness.

That's all I have to say. They have not sat back and pondered anything. They just go with passion.

Every single one of them. These emotional please and breakdowns are surreal as they are pathetic.

Well, at least we know where celebrities stand I guess - as if we didn't already know.

I agree, Trump said some nasty things and we always argue the process does matter (i.e. how Obamacare passed for instance. We teach cooperation and respect for your opponents but that was not on display when ramming through an important piece of legislation.) and he'll just have to own those words but by the same token he did expose some things that up until now were brewing among the chattering classes. Namely there is clearly a liberal media and agenda and all the arrogant hypocrisy that came with it. On the balance, man, that's a big box to poke a hole into.

The masked slipped. They were so comfortable in the snug and smug bubbles they needed not address with any respect or dignity the deplorables. They may not see it or even admit it (they didn't admit their partisanship) but it's there. People are not fucking idiots. I've met blue collar folk who possess a natural intelligence that would beat down Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien, Rachel Maddow, Van Jones and all the other derelicts from the regressive left faster than they can spin their drills.

Once again, to me, when I see this. I don't see honour. I see a doubling down of smacking down their inferiors.

There's something terribly retarded when one of the most immoral part of our society start to paternalistically talk down to people. The hyper-hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance of it all beyond comprehension.

In the end, it's not about intelligence and holding moral high grounds.

It's about dignity. DIGNITY.

Start showing it rather than ooze contempt for your fellow compatriots lest you fall to your own vulnerable insecurities and hypocrisy.

Here's why I have a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM with this.

1) They're not intellectuals. They're fucking comedians. Except Handler. I have no idea how this person keeps showing up on screens.

2) They're acting like pompous presumptuous asses. Hey, assholes. 60 MILLION people disagree with you. Get over it and yourselves. The more you pull shit like this, the more I'm convinced the right choice was made. Where the fuck do you come off using your platform to spew your emotional drivel?

3) Utter lack of professionalism. Lack we expected much from them in the first place.

4) This kind of irrational backlash corrodes rational thought. Trump could install the exact same policies as Hillary and the progressive left will denounce it. They possess no principles. All they understand are words from principals.

5) Principles. Think about it. If integrity is sooooo fucking important to them, on what what planet do they live to think Hillary Bleeping Clinton was a better choice? Yeh. Here's the thing. I teach my kid not to lie yet Hillary (i.e. sniper fire, Benghazi (where her and Obama's actions led to an innocent man being jailed etc.) does little if nothing but lie. I teach my kid to respect others. Yet Hillary holds them in contempt (e.g. she let her distraught supporters down when she didn't address them personally after the election, or the now infamous 'deplorables' quip etc.). I teach my kid to observe rules and the law. Yet, Hillary broke the law by having an unsecured private server while Secretary of States. Her irresponsibility was not just a spit in the face of American law but by extension to the people of the country she so desperately wanted to rule not govern. I teach my kid civil ethics. Ethics, in part, include when you're in a position of power or influence, you keep to accepted basic notions of 'dos and donts'. Hillary via her Foundation, broke this principal. She peddled influence and profited from it. Which brings me to respect again. This behaviour shows an utter disrespect for the office and title she held. I teach my kid to stick to deeply held and observed principles. Hillary cynically slithers around leaving herself open to how the polls and trends swing (ie. marriage is between a man and woman). And what of women? This is a woman who, rather than stand up and take a principled stand, let her husband commit acts of adultery and sexual assaults acing as an enabler to his misdeeds. We're told she's a strong woman but acted weak and even unjust by destroying the life of a person in the process. The fact is, over 30 years, all I've seen from her is a sleazy and scandalous track record. Where there's dubious activities, you can bet Hillary was around it. 

Last. I also teach my kid to graciously accept defeat and be a gracious winner. Never to blame others for their errors or losses and to always self-assess. Worse, don't go looking for scapegoats in search for excuses masking as justified reason. Yet, this is exactly how Hillary's supporters are reacting. They're blaming everyone with such hyper force, they're failing to look in the mirror. They're not critically and soberly assessing why they lost. Maybe their ideas were not popular. Maybe they miscalculated their lead letting hubris rule their minds. Or maybe, just maybe, Hillary wasn't the right person for the job - Occam's Razor would probably conclude this. Now we're seeing renewed demands to impeach and change the election process. This is the action of people who lack principles and respect and intellectual rigour. For whatever they get, what happens when that too fails them? You can't keep changing systems and ideas every time something doesn't go your way. It's petulant and ludicrous.

When a team loses, no matter how much we perceive calls went against us, you accept the outcome and you move on. You look ahead. You can quietly bring forth your concerns and if the league agrees, you effected change. Good on you. 

This. This is the person you wanted to rule over you? All because Trump said some bad words that offended you? Please. Do us all a favor, you know the ones who actually hold principles and stick to them, look in the mirror and think a little before you go on TV and make an ass of yourself.

4) And on a more personal level. Without provocation, I was not only told I hate my daughter and that because I dared claim progressives are bigots (note never told the person I supported Trump intellectually), that my 'genes' destine me to act like Trump. This is the profile of the people over-reacting to this election.  1911 called. They want their eugenics manual back.

No reason. No principles.

Today is Remembrance Day and I want to go honour people who actually did something for their countries.

Most of whom would be considered 'deplorables' you jerk offs disrespect.

I don't want to waste another second on you.

Video Clip: Trudeau Cultural Relativist Extraordinaire

It's weird. It's like Trump gave me a renewed sense of purpose and vigor to play my tiny part in fighting the good fight.

For eight years people had to endure why they're stupid, racist, misogynistic and any other insult hurled at them for merely having an opinion that differed from whatever shit stained narrative was being pimped out. You could also sense a general overall low morale among entrepreneurs which is not surprising given all the 'you didn't build that' crap pushed by people like Obama and Warren.

Never mind about race relations falling under Obama.

Their rhetoric just wasn't productive and enlightened.

It's going to be refreshing not having progressives get a huge platform to spew their rubbish. Maybe a little 'stabilizing' will take place.



I'm hoping with Trump and May in the UK, Trudeau will be forced into a little more reality based governance.

The last thing I want to hear is Trudeau lecture me about 'Canadian values' as he sees it. I've seen and read enough to know where his views stems from and I completely refute them.

Solar System Warming; Trump Names Climate Skeptic

"Nothing is stable, including the solar system. New evidence suggests the solar system is moving into a new energy zone which is altering the magnetic fields of the planets.

There is reason to believe Earth is not the only planet in the solar system undergoing climate change, meaning CO2 emissions are not the primary force responsible for the rise in global temperatures. Growth of the dark spots in Pluto, reports of auroras on Saturn, polar shifts in Uranus and changes in light intensity of Neptune suggests something very strange is happening in the solar system.

Many scientists suspect that the solar system has migrated to a region of the galaxy with high energy. We have the illusion that the sun is a nebulous ball of gas fixated in the sky that the rest of the solar system dances around. In reality, the sun is one star among many sitting on the outskirts of the Milky Way, hurtling through space at 72,000 kilometers per hour. Although the total amount of energy within the universe is conserved, pockets of energy in the Milky Way vary in intensity. The solar system may have rolled into one of these highly active regions."

Oh dear.

Now what?

***

Expect the climate change gravy train to end. Sure those who depend on grants and subsidies are going to squawk on taking their grievances and anger to FaceBook, Change.org, writing Op-eds about how if they can't continue their work we're all gonna die. And you'll see those business people who profited off this scheme, Musk, Gore etc., threaten progress will stop. Or sparkling minds from the celebrity ranks like Di Caprio make ads and videos pointing to how dangerous Trump is for name a climate skeptic as head of the EPA.

I don't think carbon taxes, plastic bag bans and all those fancy protocols are gonna cut it.

You can put us back to the stone age and it won't matter.

The Numbers Behind Trump's Victory

What's the real story behind Trump's victory?

You can't go to the MSM - oh what a surprise - because they're busy demonizing, well, white people and calling everyone a racist.

Lunatics.

But the facts are all out there.

Check out The Independent here.

And Ezra Levant:



It's a little more, erm, complex. But don't tell that to progressives who claim to understand nuance.

Not Everyone Is Insane

Mark Pantikin in the Providence Journal expresses a sane and sober view of the election.

More please.

Quote Of The Day

"If you vote for somebody who can't win for president, it means that you don't care who wins for president."

Rachel Maddow.

I've read a lot of stupid things in the last 48 hours in the aftermath of the election. So much so I can't keep up and will just have to let all the shrill nonsense calm down and pass.

But that line of argument is so stupid and sad it's mind-boggling.

It's evil too.

It's typical bull shit progressive faux-logic at its finest. Stale, boring, predictable and pathetic.

Since when is having choice a bad thing?

Right. My bad. Progressives hate individual choice. It threatens their little herd outlook. They love force. Collective force.

You know. I'm kinda glad Trump is in there. He's flushing out all the idiots and exposing them for the bigoted simpletons they really are. He set the whole god dang thing on its ass.

Not Everyone Is Over Reacting

Here's an excellent article by Trent Lapinski at a site called Medium.

Refreshing, thoughtful and intelligent.

More Inane Anti-Trump Blatherings

About these protests.

Remember when they screamed, "He's not going to accept the results if he loses! That's not the democratic way!"

Now he won and it's, "He's not my president!"

This is what we call cognitive dissonance.

Or being full of shit.

So much for civility and democracy, huh. 

Again. Pseudo-self-righteous bull shit. Scratch a progressive, find a smug authoritarian loser. 

Here's another. As far as I can remember, the losing candidate always came out to speak to their supporters out of decency and respect.

In progressive logic, Trump would be likely to break this 'sanctity of the politician-citizen' politesse. 

But when Hillary chose to not do so (instead choosing to speak in front of the cameras) she displayed a contempt for her supporters. 

To me, it lent some insights into how she really views people.

American Celebrity Progressives: Stay Home And Stop Being Babies

Another group that needs to grow up are American progressive celebrities who threaten to leave their country if a vote doesn't go their way.

They act like petulant little children who don't want eat their spinach demanding candy instead. Driven by a faux self-righteous smugness rooted in pearl clutching pant-shitting, they cling to the notion they somehow inhabit a higher intellectual plane.

Threatening to leave a country after a lawful election is not an act of heroism or rebellion. It's just unoriginal asshattery.

One country that doesn't need an influx of progressives is Canada. We certainly don't need race hucksters like Al Sharpton and whatever it is Lena Dunham is and does. I saw Jon Stewart was on the list too. No thanks. We already have a hipster-comedian in Rick Mercer. You bring nothing to the table.

Wanting to move here because you don't like - boo-hoo-hoo here's a fucking tissue flake - the results of an election points less to the country you loathe and more about your flimsy state of mind.

Canada has had its fair share of draft dodgers and their ever so grating left-wing world view.

So please. Do us a favor get lost and fucking stand by your country. 

Fall Of The West Reason 595966997

The latest emotional drivel to spew from the mouths of progressive pygmy's is the notion of 'what do we tell our children?'

Always about the children, huh.

They use kids like pawns in their manic and hyper-smug political musings.

How about this?

How about, you know, you grow up?

It's hard for kids to see what a responsible grown is like when the adults nurturing them are acting like irrational flakes. I heard stories of people not going to work because they needed to 'collect their thoughts'.

My, my.

Go to work and grow up.

For the love God, don't make me come and slap each and every one of you out! It will take a lifetime!

Up here we got a dose of this type of stupid behaviour. We were all going to die under Harper and those who voted for him were greedy, ignorant short-sighted pigs.

Now there's a gif going around of Bugs Bunny sawing off Canada from the USA. Only problem is...you do that you cut the source of our prosperity.

Canada is a protectorate and branch plant economy of the U.S. empire. Cutting ourselves off from the U.S. is akin to suicide since we can't stand on our own two feet.

But hey. dare so smert an education.

Speaking of the dimwitted:



It's only a democracy when it goes our way and when we say it is.

Think of it. These as swipes are protesting a lawful election result. 

Principals over principles.

And then there's the flat out irrational.

Trump Is The Kicking In The Ass America Needed

I don't like Trump.

But here's the thing. He's exactly what that country needs at the moment. It doesn't need more 'insider gaming' or more policy pretending to be 'smart power' or anything like that.

Rather, it needs to get moving. I doubt Trump can deliver on some of his promises, and there's enough of a small track record to be concerned about but I don't think if it translates into getting people off their asses and out of the welfare lines, stop calling for free shit and do what America is meant to to - be productive better than any country - then this may be a good rude awakening.

I don't think people appreciate what kind of swift kick in the ass and a big fuck you this was to Washington.

***

I see the left are just about as unhinged and irrational as ever.

Good to see their respect for democratic outcomes and civil discourse remains untarnished as ever. The cognitive dissonance and outright hyper and hypocritical rantings are epic and off the charts.

It's about democracy...until it isn't...and doesn't go their way. Expect the children to continue their tantrum.

No it wasn't because of racism or misogyny or whatever. Quite frankly, if you think this way you have a shallow view of human nature and politics. I think if you fool yourself into thinking this way, then you may miss some salient and sober realities.

All projection with them.

Love the one where Maddow blamed the loss on - get this - Gary Johnson (but third party!) who garnered a whopping 3.3% of the vote.

In any event, unfortunately, despite the GOP getting the House, Senate and Presidency, I do see troubling signs on the horizon. Notably, a Marxist tandem of Warren/Sanders in 2020.

***

When they go low you go high! Hillary didn't even bother to go and address her supporters telling them to go home. She scheduled a 9:30am slot to speak but promptly made people wait until 11:30am.

No class. Not an ethical bone in her body.

No wonder it's been asserted she has little regard for....you know, people.

Anyway.

After two terms and eight years with Obama, maybe people didn't want another four years of Democrat rule and a Clinton.

***

Hopefully by then these three guys will make headway and prevent it.

Marked For Death

In this 'not sure where what point I was trying to make' post, I look at two events the severely damaged the European continent.

Fist up....

The Black Death or Black Plague killed 50 million (some estimates peg it even higher at 75-200 million when Eurasia is considered) people or 60% of the entire European population in the 14th century.

Yet remarkably the Italian Renaissance, which led to astonishing achievement and lasting influence right through to the Age of Reason and The Enlightenment, still took place.

World War I killed 20 million people while the range for World War II is 40-85 million. But on a percentage basis it wasn't as profound with about 3.5% of the population dead (recall not every country was involved and I did exclude colonies) in the former and 3% in the latter but this includes the world population at the time of about 2.3 billion.

None of this includes Stalin's part.

Right after, Germany, Japan, France and Italy experienced economic miracles and still managed to remain among the wealthiest and most prosperous nations in the world.

For the record, about 490 million people have been killed in war.

The human spirit, huh.

Don't under estimate it.

Let It Eat Itself

You do realize all this talk of inequality is rooted in communist philosophy, right? It's nothing but egalitarianism exposing its naked envy. That's all it is.

***

And so it was. The working class - the proletariat as it were - conquered the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie and all in between they perceived to be exploiting them and getting rich off their tired backs. They took out everyone they could find; even those who may not have been part of the landlord class. Why not?! It was a marvellous macabre minestrone of mayhem for the benefit of all!

All was burned down and destroyed. Properties confiscated. Bosses and their families. Why not?! - put to the walls and shot. They were soaked in their own blood paraded around the town square much to the glee of townsfolk all too giddy with pride taking pictures of the murderous rampage on their free iPhones.

Finally they fell upon Oliver who was the last of the Mohican entrepreneurs; he of the 1% or 1.5% class - it matters none the facts to people filled with rage and envy. All they could see was his Audi Q5. It was bought used off a friend at a discount because Oliver was prudent that way. But who cares?

Audi, right!?

String him up too!

He didn't build that shop on his own! Consistently, he failed to do the right thing. To give free goods and services to the masses who felt entitled to his labor. Beside, what did he do anyway? He inherited  a small fortune from his parents that gave his white privileged ass a head start. It was necessary to cut him and others like him down. To make things equal and fair, you know? Poor Dora and Paul who worked those long, back breaking hours for an unliveable wage! Dora is uneducated and from a poor country but she wasn't really complaining since she wasn't planning on selling Crest and Tylenol for the rest of her life. But Paul. Oh, Paul. He was one angry critter.

He felt he deserved a fair minimum wage for stocking shelves. He couldn't feed his nine kids and two ex-wives on such a meagre salary. Oliver treated his workers as fairly as he good and gave as much as the business could justify. He followed everyone regulation and law however insipid and burdensome. But this don't matter to financial illiterates.

Paul was the first one to greet Oliver as he put the noose around his neck.

Oliver was too distraught and stunned at the madness he was seeing. Paul smiled and said, 'now I will take your business. What you say about that...boss?"

Everyone laughed as harpies flew around aimlessly giggling along.

'Paul. I took care of you. I gave you a job after your release! I paid for your wife's dental work! I put you on a health plan!'

'You call that a health plan!?'

'It's all I could afford!'

'Well, you shoulda thought about that before you bought your fancy car, no?

'That? I paid it less than a Prius!'

'You didn't need the Audi. The rest of us can't get one so why should you? And another thing. Who needs all those kinds of soaps? One brand, one scent is enough!'

'My God. You've...lost your mind!'

'Yes because I was busy working to make you rich!'

Paul stops and turns to the increasingly shrill crowd.

'What we need is common sense maximum salaries! It's people like this greedy huckster causing all this inequality!'

Paul pulled out a karambit and licked it gently. 'Your store. The one you didn't build. The one you got your goods transported on the road we built....it's mine now!'

'What roads? What are you talking about? Paul, listen to me, you don't know the first thing about running a business. It's a headache. Believe me. It's...'

'Shut, up!'

Paul then slit Oliver's throat as everyone cheered. They then gathered around and noticed the stores without its owners.

'Now what?' Someone shouted.

Paul looked around and pointed. 'You! Yeah you!' Go business!'

'But I don't want to business!'

He walked up to the person and pointed his karambit, 'Business. Or else.'

Soon, all the stores had someone in them but nothing really happened.

And Paul was glad. 'Ah, this is more like it. It's a new dawn.'

Off in the distance stood two people stand in deep thought. One of them breaks his silence and says, 'We should intervene, Gabriel!'

'No, no.' Gabriel replies.

'But they've lost all reason!'

'Yes they have Dante. But let them turn on one another. Only then can we come in and start afresh.'

Quote Of The Day

I swear, between Obama, Elizabeth Cherokee and Hillary, I don't know who has said the most progressive nonsense where wealth and wealth creation are concerned.

The quotes laced with progressive envy-egalitarianism belittling success are an endless pile of dung.

But this one by Hillary (remember the lie she told about being under sniper fire in Bosnia?)  ranks among the highest in the realm of absurdity:

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”

Of course, it begs the question: Who does then?

Right. The government.

Riiiight.

Quote Of The Day

"Economist Peter Nickerson, 56, is a proud resident of Seattle, arguably the capital of green America, so it almost goes without saying that he supports aggressive environmental policies. He'd like to see his city make public transit free to reduce vehicle emissions. He wants to ban pesticides in rivers where salmon swim. He's a devoted recycler who even composts his own trash. Surely, then, he must love Seattle's new bag tax? (Starting in 2009, it would require drug, grocery and convenience stores to charge 20 cents per disposable bag.) Actually, Nickerson thinks it's a terrible idea.

A tiny tax with big environmental potential would seem like a natural fit for Seattle. Other U.S. cities, such as San Francisco, have banned certain disposable bags; Seattle would be the first to tax them. "We know it won't solve global warming," says Mayor Greg Nickels, "but a small change in behavior can make a big difference."

Ok, not technically a 'quote-quote' but whatever.

Do something, do anything. Even if it doesn't work. Give the appearance. Shuffle those papers, move them butts!

People and party of reason and science right there.

Oh and note to Denis Coderre. There is no damn garbage patch and there was no need to have a plastic bag.

Government Surveillance Is A Serious Matter Demanding Public Vigilance

I've gone back and forth about whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor. People are indeed divided on this front. However, this may not be the right question. Rather, should we not be indebted to him for bringing to light this issue and for his intellectual call to arms in matters of government surveillance?

They are, after all, watching us without our consent.

Governments in the West in general have become so cavalier, so brazen in their aggressive posturing on such matters there was bound to be civil push back. Snowden represents that's push back.

And for people who say, 'if you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't worry' or 'they're not worried about you'. Wake up.

This is not the point. The point is your privacy rights are being violated. Shrugging your shoulders or coming up with strawman logic like above is just plain lazy and does no one a service. No one is safe. If they need a scapegoat for anything it can fall upon you. Do you really trust bureaucrats with the sanctity of your liberty?

I've come to view him as another figure in the long fight to protect civil liberties and freedom in the face of tyranny. It's no mistake of history it took an American to carry this mantle given it's literally the only nation left on earth fighting for the rights of man where individual sovereignty is concerned.

Americans have that impulse programmed deep in their psyche and they will fight for it.

We should join them in that fight.

Here's Snowden talking to McGill University. He talks, among other things, about how far behind Canada is in such matters.

Politicians In Quebec Do What They Do Best: Steal

Ever wonder how parasites make money?

"In 2007, the Quebec government announced that it wanted to sell three buildings: Place Québec and the J.A. Tardif building in Quebec City, and 500 René-Lévesque Boulevard Ouest in downtown Montreal.

Monique Jérôme-Forget, then finance minister and minister responsible for the SIQ, determined it wasn't the role of the government to manage these buildings, which were not entirely occupied by government offices.

Place Québec was sold to a consortium made up of the real estate branch of the Quebec Labour Federation (FTQ) Solidarity Fund, along with former construction mogul Tony Accurso.

A business owned by George Gantcheff, a major player in the Quebec real estate scene, bought the other two buildings.

Enquête obtained an explosive forensic accounting report commissioned by the SIQ that shows the buyers benefited from significant advantages built into the sales contracts — worth $47 million in all — that were not revealed during the call for tenders.

The SIQ sold the buildings, but it remained a tenant in the offices it had already been occupying."

Wonderful behaviour by our masters.

Lunatics Running Asylums

The University of Oregon is run by thought police quacks and idiots:




"Cultural appropriation is the act of borrowing or using aspects of a culture by another culture, typically a dominant culture. Around the time of Halloween, we often see people dressing as a culture or a character, which is offensive and reinforces negative stereotypes. These costumes reinforce racism, sexism, and classism. As active and respectful members of the OSU and the UO communities, we expect everyone to not engage in cultural appropriation."

Hm. Go fuck yourself you ignorant douches seems appropriate here.

I bet you the person or persons writing this rubbish were eating pizza while not being Italian at the time.

Jesus, what a bunch of asses.

Quote Of The Day

"The irony of the public system and its institutions and the administrators and bureaucrats who run them is the utter contempt sometimes displayed for and towards citizens. It's almost like they're missing the point."

T.C. (2016)

Don't Be A Pierre M.

When I was a bank teller back in the 1990s there all kinds of characters who would come in to do their banking. It was a branch in the west end of the city where the clientele and residents were at the minimum (I'm guessing) 90% English speaking including Francophones. The West Island is one of the last bastions where English speakers can largely live in peace away from the politicized linguistic rackets. If you're making trouble there, you truly are looking for trouble.

Our branch was fully bilingual and diverse. There was zero justification to ever claim we deliberately offered poor service on the language front. How could you in Quebec? We're all aware there are self-appointed vigilante losers who anonymously snitch on business who run afoul of Quebec's petty and punitive language laws. God oh shit are we aware. It's insufferable.

One troll who did was a guy name Pierre. I won't disclose his family name because it's not really pertinent.

Pierre, to cut to the chase, was a linguistic nationalist and big asshole about it. He would come in and put everyone on edge looking to catch any of us daring to say 'hello' or anything else for that matter to him in English.

He was just a nasty, nasty person.

I too would see him and have a sudden urge to simply punch him out.

One day, he came in and walked up to the wicket where one of the tellers stood. She was an extremely docile, polite, friendly, thoughtful 18 year-old girl. She and her sister were simply a joy to be around. They were Mormons. If you've ever been around Mormons you know what it's like to be around their crazy niceness.

Poor girl. She never had a chance with a ferocious jerk off like Pierre ready to pounce on her.

Within seconds he was barking at her to the point she was shaking and brought to near tears. My boss had to step in and take over.

What was her crime?

She began filling out an English language deposit slip.

He was demanding to know why she did that given there are French slips. We were all stunned at the idea a grown man would make an issue of this so we were all a little taken aback. Unsure as to what to say besides it was habit and that she really didn't mean anything by it, he went off on her about respect - notice how they always demand respect while giving little of it themselves - and by that point she was just too unsettled to continue.

I mean, it was ugly and my blood was boiling. I wanted to take my hand and place in the back of his head to slam it down on the counter - multiple times.

Little Pierre asshole, you see, was a linguistic nationalist and no one was spared his wrath. He was the great defender of a language that quite frankly doesn't need his protection.

Another time, Pierre called the bank and I answered. Without missing a beat, he demanded to know why I said 'Hello before 'Bonjour'. I didn't engage and asked how I could help him. He persisted. I told him we were bank and didn't appreciate him making a political issue every time he dealt with us. He claimed he wasn't being political - like all weasels like this do - and I begged to differ and hung up.

I walked straight into my boss's office and explained to him the whole affair about this guy. I even presented to him a stern warning and menacing letter he wrote to our staff - on a stupid bank statement - about our lack of respect and professionalism. My boss thanked me and agreed it was not the sort of person our bank should do business with and would deal with it.

All Pierre accomplished during the time I was there was bring a young girl to tears, pen a mean-sprited letter - that I still hold in my possession - and make a total ass of himself.

Take a bow hero.

Moral of the story? I know sometimes we feel disrespected or not treated in a way we feel is appropriate or have to deal with uncomfortable occurrences  but for the love of God. Think about how you're conveying your concerns or disappointments.

If you believe in karma, there's that but then there's also the possibility you end up an inside joke or a pin up in the office kitchen subject to laughter and scorn. A metaphor for all this assholic in life. In my case, I held onto a letter.

Do you want that?

I know I don't and have had my moments of weakness but try to keep this tale in mind.

Don't be a Pierre M.

Be bigger.

Cubs Beat Indians For First Title Since 1908

The Chicago Cubs win their first title since 1908 ending the longest drought in North American pro sports history. Cubs GM Theo Epstein has now ended two long standing and infamous curses. In 2004, the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918 thus ending The Curse of the Bambino and now the Cubs.

Chicago was the best team in baseball all year (except for a small stretch) having won the most games in the Majors with 103. The Cleveland, run by an excellent manager and executive team, won 94 games and had to battle significant injuries to their top players all year and still remarkably found themselves in the World Series one win away from ending their own drought stretching back to 1948. Cleveland's last appearance was in 1997 while Chicago's most recent trip to the finals was in 1945.

Interestingly, Boston went on to win a couple more titles. Chicago is a young enough team to win a couple more as well.

Cleveland now holds the mantle for longest dry spell between a World Series win.

Clinton Corruption Will Rule America

Among the many empty-headed, vapid, nonsensical, feel-good bull shit catch phrases the Democrats excel at, Hillary's 'when they go low, you go high!' has to be among the worst.

Besides the stupid lame attempt at trying to show character where there is none, her delivery is not believable. Humans are good at sensing, if they pay close attention, bull shit and this is a pretty clear cut case. Every time she tries to play the role of the compassionate liberal  progressive she comes off stiff and wooden; almost like she doesn't believe a single word she says. Which, I guess, she doesn't and is the point of my post.

How does she put that stupid phrase into practice? When CNN contributor and Democrat shill Donna Brazile handed Hillary's campaign questions as revealed by Wikileaks (thank God the truth comes out somehow. Which only goes to show people do care), Hillary had a choice - just like she had a choice in setting up an unsecured private server. She could turn away the questions and make a point her administration was not going to stand for it (never mind how pathetic do you have to be if you can't answer questions after being in politics for over 30 years. Talk about wasting your time) or she could just take the questions and use it to her advantage.

This being Hillary Clinton who is always on the look out for #1 she opted to take the questions.

Classic do as I say since she took a low offer and went low along with it.

No one made her do it. Not the Russians. Not Julian Assange. Not Donald Trump.

She, as her own moral agent, chose it. She knew better, of course, but she chose to ignore that.

And don't be mistaken. This is the rule with Hillary.

She has no integrity. No moral compass. No intellectual frame of mind.

If elected, she will look down on the deplorables - including those who voted for her - Hillary will make sure Clinton Inc. will be fed first.

This much is obvious.

Vote for her, you vote for more decrepit moral decay.

Do you really want to play a part in that?

***

Know what else is grating? The fact Bill Clinton doesn't have the class or decency to back off. I fully expect this kind of behaviour from Obama as well once he leaves office. Worse, watching women clamour to get a picture with him. Do people realize what this man has done to women?

Violent And Criminal Hillary Supporters Strike Again

I mean. It's perfectly logical and respectable to burn down the church. It had it coming for having a Trump sign.

Once again, I see shameless, anti-social behaviour and it ain't coming from the 'deplorables' supporting Trump.

But hey. Their leader is a deceitful, dishonest and dishonourable liar. It all flows.

She's worse than Trump.

Hard Times For The New York Times

The New York Times and its left-wing owner, roster of statists with stale ideas posing as intellectuals (including their resident token conservative poser Brooks) who went into the gutter shilling for the Democrat party (and being smug smart asses in the process I might add) along with its predictably boring and progressive commenters, continues to lose money.

Gee. I wonder why.

Science writer John Tierney gets a pass though.

Notice how the articles I linked to chose to report it.
