Christ On a Crutch!!

 


You might remember Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas from his former job as White House physician to president Donald Trump. 

Now Ronny is weighing in on the new Covid variant, Omicron.

"Here comes the MEV - the Midterm Election Variant," tweeted Jackson, who, not for nothing, is also a physician. "They NEED a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. Democrats will do anything to CHEAT during an election - but we're not going to let them!"

And then there was this from Fox News personality Pete Hegseth: "Count on a variant about every October, every two years."

Is it just me or does Rear Admiral Ronny have a bad case of Stepford Wives eyes?


The lights are on but there's nobody home.

    I always thought the Clinton/alien connection a bit suspect! LOL.

    That this old NE front page remains 'somewhat' acceptable proves that the USA is an illiterate basket case.

    Our problem is how do we distance ourselves from them?
    I heard the tail end of a CKNW opinion piece calling for the purchase of F35 strike fighters.
    These aircraft are ultimately tied in to US foreign policy!

    Tying ourselves to a sinking ship is not acceptable from wars to climate change decisions.

      How do we distance ourselves? I think that ship has sailed, TB. With which countries would we replace the U.S.? Who might be our new economic partner? And, if we did move to economically or geopolitically distance ourselves how do we imagine Washington would respond?

      I can't see anything short of a messy collapse in the American economy or its republic that would allow Canada to reset our relationship with the "cousins." And, if that were to occur, we would hardly be immune to the fallout.

      As for Lockheed I'm sure they would love to get as many customers as possible in their order bag before the USAF and USN move on to a new stealth fighter that is definitely in the works. The Air Force is looking at a new order of updated F-15s as an interim solution while they're waiting for something a bit less buggy than the F-35. The US Navy has also trimmed its order. The Brits are working on their own design as are the French and Germans.

    Yanks are nuts, eh?

    Let's send a couple of warships to support their armada in the South China Sea!

    (oh, wait, we already did that)

    How do we distance ourselves?

    Whilst economically impossible it is politically we need to untangle ourselves from the US.
    No more American wars for starters.
    Some economic protectionism will help as will beefing up Canadian content in media and culture.

Up in Smoke. 300 Sq. Mi. of Amazon Rainforest Lost Every Day.

Image
  The Amazon rainforest is disappearing at what should be an alarming rate. 312 sq. mi. or 808 sq. kms. every day. Over the past 30 years humans have destroyed a patch of the Amazon equal in area to the states of Texas and New Mexico . The Amazon – historically a great carbon absorber, since trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen – now releases more carbon than it stores, which adds to, rather helps to reduce, our global climate crisis. Deforestation rates decreased slightly from 2004 to 2012. But since then, they’re back on the rise, especially in the past couple of years, since Jair Bolsonaro became president of Brazil. In 2018, as Bolsonaro campaigned as a patriotic man of the people, scientists predicted that once the Amazon lost more than 25% of its tree cover, it would become a drier ecosystem, all because deforestation changes weather patterns (due to how trees respire), which in turn reduces rainfall. Furthermore, as the forest becomes fragmented, areas surrounded...

The Cognoscenti Syndrome

  There is a group of people I think of as the Cognoscenti, people who are well educated, very informed and of rapidly diminishing relevance. Their ranks include writers such as Chris Hedges and Glen Greenwald. These are people who have honed an almost Puritanical value system, readily finding fault in any direction. They are scathing in their attacks on Republicans and Democrats alike to the point where they become nihilists. They don't endorse. They prescribe. This is where they fail. They're unable to advocate for anything that might resonate with the public whose interests they argue are being trammeled. Donald Trump was bad but Joe Biden is scarcely better. This is where their elitism comes in.  74 million may have voted for Trump but, hey, they didn't know any better. The mob that stormed the Capitol. They were just victims of the system venting their frustrations. All the racism, bigotry, xenophobia, misogyny, white nationalism - inevitable side effects of their oppr...

Who Asks "Why?"

Every time there's a conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, all we hear is 'why?'  Why, as in, whose fault is this? It's easier to affix blame if you can truncate the event. Pick a convenient start date, something recent. In this case we'll make it either the Israeli eviction of Arabs from Jerusalem or the scuffle that took place outside the mosque in response. If those don't work, let's go for Hamas launching unguided rockets into Israel. That's even better because it tags Hamas with the blame. The nice thing about this approach is you can just keep using it. It goes on and on, just as it has for the past half-century since the '67 war. You can even date this whole mess to the beginning of the occupation of the Palestinian territories. The Israelis are said to have called these periodic wars, "mowing the lawn." The idea is that, every now and then, you have to take these Arabs to the woodshed. And then you keep your powder dry unt...
