Xitter does this strange thing where when I try to respond with a softly controversial reply to a post it suddenly "fails to send". Yeah, free speech my ass.

Trump's team opening up Fort Knox gonna be like:

Canada is cooked of we didn't continue the reality of Chinese and other nation's interference.

Ugh... Stepping into Twitter is like diving into the deep end of emotional stupidity. Seeing that people are raging about Tom Hanks Black Jeopardy like they don't know the original Doug Black Jeopardy he did was a solutely awesome and that's all the 50th anniversary was. You got Black Jeopardy being all black and an old white guy fish out of water. The differences melt away and it demonstrates what unites the nation in opinion. SNL has always done that sort of thing. Methinks Twitter is just full of programmed bots/npcs who think they're the main character.

You ever eat so much BBQ for (Valentine's) dinner that you haven't had any breakfast or, almost, lunch the next day? Yeah, I got a good one. This was a meal for 4-6. Brisket, Beef Rib, Korean Short Rib, Pulled Beef, Smoked Chicken, Beef Sausage, and Tri Tip.

It was two years ago today (Valentines Day of all days!) that the Canadian govt, run by Justin Trudeau and his Liberals with the support of the NDP socialist party, illegally put the authoritarian boots down on peaceful canadians when they stood up to have their voices heard. Canadians who, from across the country, had gathered for weeks in the Nation's capital region in a sign of solidarity and patriotism, resisting the draconian measures imposed across the country and who were ultimately ignored. Illegally imposed the Emergencies Act? Yes. The senate had not yet agreed it was necessary (and when it was rumoured not to be agreed to it was cancelled in three days with the excuse "it had fulfilled its purpose"). Illegally imposed, as well, when in review by the courts, not the sham POEC commission run by Trudeau's family friend and ski buddy, but the actual legal challenge, Justice Marlowe ruled that it hadn't met the threshold of requirements (the govt, again, the Liberals are currently appealing that ruling and did so within 10 (ten) minutes of the 180 page ruling, so they didn't even read the ruling). Canada has a problem with accepting authoritarianism. That's the cultural difference between the US and Canada. Canada never fought for independence but instead waited patiently to be given it by the powers that be, the crown, and was ultimately given it in... Not 1867 (considered the birth of Confederacy) but 1982! When Canadians stood up for their Charter of Rights and Freedoms during the convoy protest of 2022, we saw just how little fight they would give. All the govt had to do was shut down their businesses and bank accts, put up some jackboots, and threaten them with more difficulties. Several of the leaders were arrested and imprisoned for months on charges of "mischief". We saw this affect anyone who participated from even donors to the struggle. We saw the full display of a media controlled by the govt sway public opinion and split the nation which is still, to this day, very divided. We saw that our charter rights are meaningless in the eyes of the stacked courts and party aligned. The fallout continues to this day and the passive aggressive Canadians are still a bunch of broken spirits and weak. When food bank use is at its highest, the country has been flooded by cheap labour and govt opiates, the cost of living is through the roof, and the govt solution is suicide (MAiD) which is now the 5th leading cause of death in Canada (think about that, the 5th leading cause of death is the state killing its own people!)... While the Liberals and Trudeau have shut down the govt debate, continue to rule "with ruthless abandon" (direct Trudeau quote February 7, 2025), and will install a new Prime Minister, unelected by the public, Canadians who want an election remain passive aggressive. Angry, upset, and powerless. They say it's hard to stand up when you're too weak. Hard to fight back when you're hungry. I've made my feelings known but have little support. No one believes it can happen here. They're patiently waiting while the pot gets warmer and warmer. I've had it with Canadians and Canada. Yet, I wait. And plan. There will come a day, in the not too distant future when Canada will reveal itself saved or irredeemable. It will not be the act of one but the response or lack thereof that will determine my and my family's fate. Happy Valentine's Day.

Absolutely disgusting, though not surprising, the the dePressed Media is NOT covering the court challenge against Trudeau's proroguing of parliament. Day 1 was today and from what I gather it went well for the challengers vs the govt. Some of the stupid arguments made by the govt include "Trudeau never gave any reasons" (Justice then read out the reasons from Trudeau's own statements) and "There's no precedent for this" (there's no precedent for anything until it is challenged and a ruling is made). Sounds like this incompetent govt is doing what they did with the emergencies act. Getting challenged and losing that challenge. And all too late, with the damage done.

Bukele was right. He said at CPAC that the govt doesn't need your taxes. Well they should but they don't. They just print want they want, place our future generations in peril, and frivolously spend it. When we, the people, come to them with a need like a new hospital, or veterans affairs, or clean drinking water... They stall or say they haven't the money. All while they give it to a lesbian pirate musicals, or an Iraqi Sesame Street, or an increased bureaucracy so they can say unemployment went down and GDP is up. Taxes are not needed by these corrupt elites powers. Taxes are a control mechanism. And there is no more powerful controller than the armed IRS who will chase you around the world. And we thought we understood Orwell. It was happening right in front of us.
