I HAD BEEN RELIABLY ASSURED BY THE TRUDEAU ADMINISTRATION THAT NO PROTESTORS WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED:  Trucker beaten by Canadian police says ‘they broke my body a little bit but not my spirit’.

Yeah, I just used “reliable” and “Trudeau” in the same sentence. Now excuse me while I go slap myself to sanity again.

SURE. THAT’S WHY CHINA AND RUSSIA HELPED WITH THE SOFT COUP:  Feckless Biden Emboldens Putin’s Dream of Empire.

Stop staring that way. If you hadn’t worked it out for yourself, you haven’t thought about it much.

DEAR LORD, AT THIS RATE MY SHOCKED FACE IS GOING TO GET WORN OUT:  Biden Awards Mining Contract To China-Backed Company.

BEHOLD, MY SHOCKED, SHOCKED FACE:  Not All Republicans Are Worthy Of Trust, Either.

TO BE FAIR, THEY WERE NEVER VERY RAVELLED:  Unraveling.

Control of the means of mass communication just kept that hidden.

NAH. HE ALSO THINKS LIBERALS ARE ALL THE WEST HAS:  Putin must look at the West and laugh.

My guess is this push will seriously — ultimately — hurt Russia.  And Putin — in a little while — will find out that the west didn’t attend Oxford or Cambridge or Yale or Harvard en masse. And if he gets on our nerves enough, he’ll find how non-effete the rest of us can be.

My guess is he has troubles domestically (Yeah, and? How would you know? Just like in China, it’s a controlled information environment) and this is not so much a show of force, as a ghost dance to distract the populace and try to recover lost glory. If the west can declare war and stomp on us under that excuse, so much the better. The old KGB horror sleeps at night wrapped in dream of conquering those that brought the USSR down. It’s a pipe dream, but it keeps him warm, despite the ice in his veins.

AND SPEAKING OF STORIES:  Hastur, the Unspeakable.

WE ARE SO GORGED WITH STORY THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IT’S NOT REAL:  Just This One Simple Trick.

JUST LIKE WITH GLOBAL WARMING: Gaslighting: CBS News Wants You to Think Ukraine-Russia Caused Our Economic Problems.

You know, they want you to believe global warming is caused by the factory they hate, not the big glowing nuclear explosion in the sky.  In the same way, it must be Russia! Russia! Russia! TM and not the fact that Zhou Bai Den, most serene vice-roi of Winnie the Xi pretty much forbade all domestic drilling, plus the pipeline from Canada. Like Castreau, Brandon needs his nose rubbed in his mess.

I WONDER HOW BAD THE BANK RUN AND POLLS WERE:  Trudeau Revokes the Emergencies Act, Financial Institutions Can Unlock Accounts.

I mean the real polls, not the ones that said all Canadians loved Justine Castreau and wanted to pet his fuzzy head.

BUT THE IDIOTS ARE CONVINCED THEY CAN FRAUD IT AWAY:  Michael Bloomberg Warns Democrats They’re Headed for a ‘Wipeout’ in November.

To be fair, they probably can. It’s the butcher’s bill at the enormity of it that they’ll never be able to pay.

BEHOLD! MY SHOCKED FACE! Report: 220,000 Illegal Immigrants Slipped Past Border Patrol Since October

BRANDON’S CONCERN FOR UKRAINE’S BORDERS DOESN’T EXTEND TO OURS:  Supreme Court To Hear Biden Administration’s Appeal Over “Remain In Mexico”.

He wants ours violated harder and faster, like a two-bit pimp with a cheap movie camera.

I’M NOT SURE IT’S LEFTIST PUSHBACK:  Leftist pushback against wokeness.

I think it’s just pushback. Oh, sure, these people might have been leftist once, but then got redpilled. This is the story of the last 6 years. Particularly the last 2.

For the times, they are achanging.

IT’S ALL THEY HAVE LEFT!  Media Clings To Democrats’ Dying Hopes.

WE SHOULD TIE HER AND FAUCI IN A SACK:  Canada’s Evil Gnome.

No cats, dogs, monkeys or whatever the Romans put in there needed.

IT WAS FICTION, BUT NOW IT’S TRUE:  The Odessa Steps.

NOT BECAUSE SHE QUOTED ME, BUT BECAUSE IT’S A THOUGHTFUL PIECE:   The Reason for the Police Violence in Ottawa is Not What You Think.

GET RID OF LEFTIST PEOPLE IN POWER:  CDC Lowers Bar for Children’s Speech Development.

Do it for the children.

BEHOLD! MY SHOCKED FACE:  Tamara Lich Accused Of Pre-Crime, Gets No Bail.

OF COURSE THEY DO: Trudeau Provides The Template: Large Majority of U.S. Democrats Support Canada’s Crackdown On Protests.

They fail to appreciate the size and…. uh…. complexity difference between the countries. They’re not very deep thinkers. They have all the depth of a puddle in a Colorado summer.

NON EXPERTS DO TOO:  Experts Blast CDC for Failing to Publish Critical Covid-Related Data It Collected.

WELL, OF COURSE HE DOES:  Ottawa Mayor Wants to Sell Confiscated Freedom Convoy Vehicles.

Crooks and Marxists. They all are both.

WE CAN DO NO OTHER:  Here We Stand.

THE FUNNY THING HERE IS NOT FINDING OUT THAT THINGS DIDN’T HAPPEN AS WE THOUGHT:  The smallpox pandemic response was eerily similar to COVID.

No, the hilarious thing is that this writer, debunking one lie buys into the other, that the industrial revolution sent the dispossessed to the cities to be “economic slaves.” In our own time, we’ve found that countries industrializing have trouble keeping the poor from working in industry versus agriculture. And worse, if you read books written at the time you find people in rural areas complaining they can’t find servants, no matter what they pay.

Yeah the conditions of the urban poor were terrible compared to ours. But apparently not compared to the rural poor. Assuming that was idyllic because you love gardening is a stupid mistake.
