Canadians also unhappy with country’s direction

Prepare to read a remarkable statement: “everything is broken in this country.” According to a recent poll, 70 percent -- seventy! -- of Canadians agreed with that assertion. Those surveyed say that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s (radically) Liberal government is too focused on climate change and the war in Ukraine, and not dealing with issues important to them, such as the high -- and rising -- cost of living. “Everything is broken in this country.” Much the same is true in America, where the (radically) progressive Biden administration is obsessed with battling climate change, funding the war in Ukraine, and making sure that everyone’s preferred pronouns -- and bathroom choices -- are honored.

Left wing voters will always vote for left wing candidates, regardless of the facts in front of them.

Better do something rather than stand at Tim Hortons and oogle all those trucks passing by. How about fielding candidates for office that actually stand for something other than the "party" line. Maybe toss Fidel's basturd son out and hire a real prime minister...

Take a good long look at the shitehole that used to be Canada, and keep one thought in mind: this is what happens when you give up your guns.

AFAIK, Canadians didn't "give up their guns", which seems to be a common conception. Semiautomatic rifles and handguns are no longer sold, and while the government has "banned" semiauto rifles and they are supposed to be turned it, they have extended the deadline several times and compliance is very low, estimated to be perhaps 10% of the semiauto rifles that were thought to exist. There was a semiauto rifle registration requirement....and compliance was also thought to be very low. Handgun ownership requires a permit, but they have not been confiscated, but apparently no new handguns can be imported or sold. In any case, manual rifles (bolt action or lever action) are legal, and apparently a lot of handguns and semiautos are still in private hands and while no more can be purchased legally, apparently lots of them are not being turned in. So, guns are not outlawed, although they are being restricted quite a lot by US standards and the central government is trying to confiscate semiauto rifles....but the people are not cooperating. So, on a broad brush, Canadians are not "disarmed". Certainly a semiauto rifle would be the best self defense rifle, but a lever gun isn't useless, and a bolt action can be very effective at a long range. Not "disarmed" but certainly limited.

Realtors in the Big Apple’s cut-throat housing market are citing the controversy over congestion pricing in their pitch to sell and rent apartments in Manhattan outside zones where the toll will be imposed. Glenn Barnett of Nest Seekers sends out listings with the heading “Avoid Congestion Pricing.” “I do get a better response. People are curious,” Barnett said in a recent interview with The Post. “There are a million listings that say, ‘Great Views.’ Let’s do something different. It can’t hurt.” He recently marketed a one-bedroom pad at 340 E. 93rd St. near First Avenue with the “Avoid Congestion Pricing” pitch.

It really is a transparently obvious contrast that highlights how far the west has fallen. Russia holds transparent elections and Vladimir Putin wins 87% of the vote, resoundingly being reelected; yet Biden calls it a dictatorship. Meanwhile Ukraine cancels all elections, Zelensky declares the political opposition party unlawful; yet Biden calls it a democracy. The totalitarian areas and liberty areas are ideologically inverting as a direct outcome of western governments deliberately cleaving the globe. What they call “globalism” is actually a fracturing of the international compact. This reality is now transparent and obvious to the ordinary person,

This is the polling question that triggers more concern than all others. 1,400+ people were asked when were things better? Under Donald Trump or Joe Biden. The results are transparently obvious: Better off with Joe Biden 33%. Better with Donald Trump 45%. Trump +12 With independent voters the margin jumps to Trump +22 (25/47) If this type of sentiment holds true through November (it should), this puts the election vote result beyond the reach of the AME Church Network election and polling officials to change them.

Something is seriously wrong with American law schools and the disciplinary outfits that are supposed to monitor corrupt conduct of practitioners. You can see the effects of this degradation in the outrageous behavior of government prosecutors and in the judiciary, which ignores its responsibility to decide fairly and without bias. We are churning out dishonest, corrupt lawyers and judges who are more than willing to look the other way at such behavior, condoning the most obvious selective partisan prosecutions.

The apparatus of the Republican influence system is not happy that President Trump has not reached out to Nikki Haley and her coalition of Democrats in order to solicit their support. Politico outlines the unhappiness amid the Koch network that President Trump has not called them or asked for their support. The MAGA movement should anticipate the professional Republican apparatus now looking to embed Bush-Cheney-Haley types to control the outcomes of Donald Trump, and the likelihood of a successful presidential race. Nothing angers the professional Republicans quite like ignoring them and being successful without their crustless triangle cucumber sandwiches.

A proposal to install new leadership in Haiti appeared to be crumbling Wednesday as some political parties rejected the plan to create a presidential council that would manage the transition. The panel would be responsible for selecting an interim prime minister and a council of ministers that would attempt to chart a new path for the Caribbean country that has been overrun by gangs. The violence has closed schools and businesses and disrupted daily life across Haiti.

District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had a long-term romantic relationship. They were caught lying about it in court testimony. Additionally, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now. The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.

A new capital would signify a new beginning for the nation. Everyone who has seen the play Hamilton knows that the nation’s capital was moved to the present site in the District of Columbia due to a dinner-table bargain in 1790 between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton needed Jefferson’s support in Congress to win approval for federal assumption of revolutionary war debts; in return, Jefferson wanted Hamilton’s support in moving the capital from New York City to a location nearer to the population and geographical center of the country, later carved out between the states of Maryland and Virginia.

"Outlaw your car" sounds like such an outrageous phrase, and technically speaking, it isn't true — but only barely. What practical difference is there between outlawing something, and regulating it out of existence? That's exactly what the EPA intends to do this week with strict new rules going forward against gas- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks. Expected as soon as Wednesday, the Biden EPA "is poised to finalize emissions rules that will effectively require a certain percentage — as much as two-thirds by 2032 — of new cars to be all-electric," according to Inside EVs. Politico sells the expected rule as one that would "tackle the nation’s biggest source

In a sense, Hal Malchow has been planning for this day ever since 1987, when a genetic marker test revealed he was likely to develop Alzheimer’s. At the time, he was barely 35 years old, a hustling political operative who had recently come off managing Al Gore’s first Senate campaign while overcome with worry about his mother’s early descent into dementia.

The Justices of the Supreme Court make their living with words. They read them, they write them, they speak them, they listen to them, and they rule with them. We currently have a Justice who uses words very poorly. At her confirmation hearing before the Senate, Justice Jackson was asked to give a definition of “woman.” That’s a legitimate question, since many legal matters depend on whether a given person is a woman or a man. Her answer was: “I can’t. Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a Texas law to take effect that enables state law enforcement to arrest people they suspect are illegally entering the United States from Mexico. The three liberal justices publicly dissented from the court’s order clearing the way for the controversial statute, SB4. The order is not a final decision, and the case could return to the high court. The Biden administration had urged the justices to block the law, passed by Texas’s Republican-controlled legislature last year, asserting it is an “unprecedented intrusion into federal immigration enforcement.”

Yesterday we learned the shocking news from Donald Trump's legal team that he has thus far been unable to raise the ludicrous sum of $454 million to post a bond in his civil "fraud" trial in New York City. Under the terms of the latest round of lawfare being waged against him by partisan NY Attorney General Letitia James, Trump is supposed to put up the bond in cash and can not use the value of his properties to cover the requirement while he appeals the ruling. Trump's team reportedly approached multiple financial firms, but none were willing to put up the cash against the value of
