Seems appropriate to pass this one along.
Especially after these last couple of weeks with the Canadians going into full meltdown with many Canadians trying desperately to defend the Canadian liberal party, and blaming Donald Trump for his completely proper reaction to the way the Canadians have been treating us.
Actually, I have a good deal of sympathy for most Canadians after watching the shenanigans of their federal government both internally and externally. Pierre Poilievre seems the source of Hope for Canadians suffering under the government they have now.
I truly hope they manage to get their act together. But I suggest there’s only one way for them to do that. I won’t bother saying what that is, because it’s my read they already know.
Meanwhile, we should perhaps look back to the early ’70s when there was at least one Canadian, who happened to be a broadcaster, who looked at what was happening and stood up for what was right.
The response to his editorial back then was nothing short of Earth shaking, both in Canada and here in the ‘states. There was even a hit record, a reading of the text of this editorial, which sold like hotcakes at the time on both sides of the border.
As it happens, I was home from school that day with a rather bad cold, and my portable radio kept me company. A nice June day, and looking forward to summer vacation only a few weeks away, and I come down with a cold. Figures.
One of my favorite activities has always been picking up out of town stations on the AM radio. Toronto radio stations are well within earshot of my hometown of Rochester being directly across the lake. I happened to pan across 50,000 Watt CFRB as Gordon Sinclair was delivering this piece. I had heard him delivering editorials before, but I couldn’t recall hearing him quite so angry as he was that day.
Canadians, and frankly a lot of Americans as well would do quite well to listen closely to what he has to say.
Places where socialism has failed in getting to the stated goal, pretty much an alphabetical order;
Angola, Algeria, Albania, Aragon, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Austria, Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Belarus, Catalina, Cape Verde, Cuba, Cambodia, China, Chile, Congo, Czechoslovakia, Djibouti, Egypt, Estonia, Etreria, Ethiopia, Grenada Gambia, Ghana, Georgia, East Germany, Hungary, India, Iraq, North Korea, Kampuchea, Libya, Latvia, Lithuania, Marquetalia, Mozambique, Mongolia, Mali, Mahabad, Myanmar, Madagascar, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Poland, Romania, Russia, Syria, Slovenia, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leon, Tunisia, Tuva, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Venezuela, Yemen Yugoslavia, Zambia, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe.
But don’t worry that wasn’t real socialism and we know what we’re doing. Though we can’t agree on what socialism is exactly, let alone clearly define it. Coupled with the fact that we get everything not just wrong but catastrophically wrong, shouldn’t stop you from surrendering your rights & liberties to an overreaching unaccountable all powerful central government for the common good.
But you can trust us, because we Leftists are morally & intellectually superior. Though it’s very difficult to tell, but we are. We’re better than you evil Nazis & even this we get wrong. Because Nazi is an acronym in German for the National Socialist German Workers Party formerly known as the German Labor Party a variation of the Marxist ideology. And words are violence and silence is violence and actual violence is mostly peaceful. I can not tell the difference between a man and a women. There just isn’t any biological markers to make any kind of distinction.
Glad to see I’m not alone in seeing this..
* If the j6 protesters were actual felons why did Joe Biden feel he needed to pardon the j6 committee?
# The problem with satire anymore is it’s getting harder to identify as such.
# So the Party of “Eat The Rich” is now concerned about the Dow Jones Average? Sure they are. And I suppose that we are to believe that they didn’t notice this;
# Back in 2022 when Joe Biden was running things (well, okay, he wasn’t running things but that’s another story) the markets dropped on the order of 25% of their value. But when the markets drop 9% for one day, everybody loses their minds.
# Have you ever noticed that the primary ingredient in any solution the left comes up with for any given problem is somebody else’s money?
# Look, all we really want is the same deportation policy that Martha’s Vineyard has.
Is NATO prepared to fight against Europe’s enemies, or merely wage the moral equivalent of war against global warming? I know which way I’m betting; as Richard Fernadez tweets,
“The European desire to defend against Russia is hampered by its
conviction that building up the military is a climate crime. Cognitive
dissonance is the mental discomfort or tension that arises when someone
holds conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. Classic symptoms of
cognitive dissonance are: Anxiety, guilt, shame, or regret Feeling
paralyzed in decision-making Difficulty recognizing the person you’ve
become and feeling a lost sense of self ‘Trump! Why did you do this to
me?’”That’s been the left’s constant cri de coeur during the last decade.
A bit longer than that, I’m afraid. Like, since the second world war.
Trump is merely the most recent target for that same old argument. The argument is getting louder recently, because Trump, unlike his predecessors, is actually holding them to spending their money, not ours to fulfill that promise self defense… That promise being the starting point to NATO membership.
Honestly I can’t say I’m surprised by this.
So there was a market correction, followed by another correction the following day and suddenly we’re not hearing anything from the keyboard warriors who despite being unable to pay for their college loans, now consider themselves to be financial experts.
Ladies and gentlemen this has got to be the shortest “recession” in American history
# Isn’t it amazing how many people who couldn’t pay back their student loans are now suddenly international economic experts?
#
# If tariffs don’t work, why have all these other countries been imposing tariffs on us?
# So after watching the judiciary acting politically against Donald Trump, do you still wonder why the rigged election didn’t have any standing in the courts?
# Isn’t it interesting how Trump’s tariffs have turned the Democrats into free market traders?

Woke-Left protesters UNABLE to explain why President Trump is a Facist, pulls out a paper handout he was given with talking points AND still can’t explain himself!
**Reporter:** “So what makes Trump a fascist?”
**Protester:** “Uh, I mean… does things without—”
**Reporter:** “You’ve got to talk loud, I don’t have my mic on.”
**Protester:** “I’m not really good at interviews or stuff.”
**Reporter:** “Sorry?”
**Protester:** “He just does everything he wants and, you know, not following laws or… He was a convicted felon, you know, that’s all I know.”
**Reporter:** “But your sign says he’s a fascist, and I’m just curious, what makes him a fascist?”
**Protester:** “One of the things is that he’s trying to control the media, right?”
**Reporter:** “Say that again?”
**Protester:** “He’s trying to control the narrative. Like—”
**Reporter:** “How is he trying to control the media? Doesn’t every president try to control the narrative?”
**Protester:** “They try to control their own narrative but one of the things that Trump’s has done, for example, is the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and then not allowing the Associated Press to come into the White House. Basically, you know, trying to get…”
**Reporter:** “What are your feelings about him renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America when a majority of the Gulf is in fact on the coast of America as opposed to Mexico?”
**Protester:** “I mean, it’s kind of pointless. People—”
**Reporter:** “Is it pointless?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, people call it the Gulf of Mexico, what’s the point?”
**Reporter:** “Don’t you think it could have a positive tourism impact, potentially?”
**Protester:** “Tourism has been down heavily.”
**Reporter:** “So I don’t want to get into a tourism debate. My question is, this sign says: ‘The Fascist Trump regime must go!’ And so I’m just curious, what makes him a fascist? You pointed out that maybe something about his relationship with the media, he wants to control it, but… yeah—again, you’re specific—you’re calling him a fascist?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, well, one of the core tenets of fascism is creating an enemy, right? And blaming those problems on the enemy.”
**Reporter:** “What’s that?”
**Protester:** “It’s a paper they gave me, yeah.”
**Reporter:** “Who gave you that?”
**Protester:** “The people that gave me the sign. It’s a free sign.”
**Reporter:** “Someone gave you the sign and then they gave you the handout? So are you reading it now to try to answer the question?”
**Protester:** “Yeah, but I mean…”
**Reporter:** “Can I see that? Can you hold that up?”
**Protester:** “You can have it.”
**Reporter:** “I can have it?”
**Protester:** “Yes, you can have it.”
**Reporter:** “Alrighty. So where did you get the sign?”
**Protester:** “All the way in the gatekeeper’s house. Yeah, it was just laying around.”
**Reporter:** “And that’s another one? They gave you two pieces of paper?”
**Protester:** “Yes, you can have both.”
**Reporter:** “Oh, okay. So what brings you guys out here today?”
**Protester:** “Just because I saw people were hanging out with people, for, you know, the same thing as everyone else—executive overreach.”
Tell me again that tariffs don’t work
Another story related to the supposed protests on Saturday.
As multiple observers have pointed out, the crowds everywhere were made up of mostly older, white females. Large numbers of demonstrators seemed to be retired government employees like teachers and bureaucrats. Many in the crowds carried “cheat-sheets” of slogans and talking points, in case they were asked why they were there, and what they were protesting.
It’s like Rush used to say, follow the money..
