Yep, as I was saying at the time, the fact our politicians here in the US didn't condemn asset freezing in Canada is because they like doing it to other countries and can't wait to do it here. I keep expecting backlash for my donation to the Canadian truckers. I'm sure it is coming once Biden and Company win "again".
The virtue signalling coal that Fidelito leaves you cannot be legally burned to heat your hovel without first purchasing 'carbon credits' from santa's helpers.

As a whistle-blower against Canada Post, the Vancouver Police Department, the RCMP and CSIS for their crimes of warrantless search and seizure of my emails which had compromised my legal defense (against the CSIS honey-trap they hired to fk up my life) using an IMSI Catcher... I can tell you that these institutions comprise the biggest criminal Cartel in Canada.
These institutions exist to enforce retaliation against truth-tellers, dissidents, journalists and non-compliant employees. This on-going retaliation includes sabotaging/destroying my vehicle, stealing 2 bikes, disconnecting my bike brakes, flattening tires, siccing a pitbull on me, violently assaulting/permanently injuring me (police) at work for my refusal to wear a mask when no provincial or federal government mask mandates were in effect, firing me, torturing me and my animals with Directed Energy Weapon assaults resulting in my cat's death, abusing SMART streetlights to prevent my crossing busy intersections, hacking my phones and SMART meter, surrounding me with gangstalking psychopaths in my condo who harass me with noise & defamation, submitting fraudulent T4 slips to the Canada Revenue Agency, following me non-stop for years, using bogus collections agencies in failed attempts to collect money fraudulently claimed (and denied by the Court) by Canada Post, countless failed honey-traps, numerous unlawful entries into my condo, ultrasonic neuromodulation, following me in grocery stores, fraudulent document with "my signature", VanCity Credit Union attempted entrapment, loss of 11 years of income, my benefits and fully half of my Maximum Pension.
Why?
Because the Covid-19 military depopulation operation enabled the Surveillance State, Big Banks, Five Eyes and the Military-Industrial-Pharma Complex to inject/implant billions of people with nanotechnology biosensors for surveillance under the skin via the Internet of Bio-Nano Things and the WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network IEEE802.15.6 in the Terahertz Band.) These are crimes of warrantless search and seizure using an IMSI Catcher which are contrary to Sections 184(1) and 430(5) of the Criminal Code of Canada. I had testified under oath on 5 occasions in locked courtrooms at the Provincial Court of Vancouver (6 cameras recording me) after filing 39 CRIMINAL CHARGES against my former boss, the Director of Mail Operations for the City of Vancouver for administering the Canada Post mask mandate when no provincial or federal government mask mandates were in effect on August 17th, 2022.

As a Canadian, I've watched in horror as Fidel Jr. has systematically ruined our country. The only hopeful sign is that he is widely loathed and trailing badly in the polls. Canadians are slow to wake up and not quick to anger, but you can feel it in the air right now....
I've given serious thought to flying down to Mexico, walking across the US border and claiming political asylum from Tyrant Trudeau. After all, legally moving down to the US and gaining citizenship takes years, and that's after you get your green card. Seems a lot more expedient to walk across, be put up in nice hotels, get $10000 and take out.
I live in NY. Because my retired husband went back to work I lost my low income health insurance. I was more than willing to pay a premium but the only plans I'm offered is $500+/mo with a $5600 deductible. I'm better off without it. I sent my expired health insurance card to Hochul, our 'governor', and told her to use it for the welfare cheats and illegals that the state is welcoming.
Thanks Lib. I grew up as part of a generation that was taught to think we Canadians were somehow "superior" to Americans as part of our public school indoctrination.
These days, I really look up to Americans... and I don't think I'm the only one.
So true! No one's coming to save us. We can't vote our way out of tyranny. No government ever gives power back once it's been taken even if they all say they will before they're elected. We need to take responsibility for our own lives and communities and exit the system as much as possible.
... widely loathed and trailing badly in the polls...
I want to be hopeful, but can't help suspect the insidious corruption will continue to be used to influence the outcome of any future elections to keep the current criminals in power.
kicks like an angry donkey, but you put an eotech holographic sight on it and it's about as idiot proof as it gets.
a former police chief once told me he favored pump actions for home defense because "everyone knows that that sound means RUN."
seems a sound assumption.
he also said bird shot is better than buck for home defense because it will not penetrate walls and put others at risk but that the sheer shock of being hit by that many pellets at close range will basically put anyone down.
I’m a firearm instructor so just take this as constructive feedback.
Don’t rely on the sound of a pump shotgun to dissuade a home invader. If the person is on a mind altering drug, the chances they register that sound is a chance you shouldn’t be willing to take. Have one in the pipe and make use of every round you have.
Pump shotguns are good but there actually is some training involved in properly running the action. I’m actually a big advocate of the AR15 for home defense due to the nature of a lightweight, high-velocity projectile indoors. It will actually change its flight path and penetrate fewer walls than a pistol round will. The rifle is also lightweight and has virtually no recoil. You can put multiple rounds on target quickly.
I would also advise you load between #1-#4 buckshot in your gun. Birdshot makes shallow, nasty wounds but does not do quick damage to stop a threat. You don’t want to rely on your threat to choose when to stop. You want to be the one doing the stopping.
The Hubs has one. While they’re fending off the snarling dogs, and hearing the pump action, I’m coming around the back with the AR.
But there’s not many invaders coming here. Too many pissed off farmers and tradesmen who are armed to the teeth. 🤷🏻♀️ Rural Rage is a thing around here and not dependent upon race. 😉
another advantage to birdshot -- the loads are lighter than buckshot or slugs, so less blast and recoil if you actually do have to fire. And the perp can't tell the difference, racking birdshot into the chamber sounds exactly the same as buckshot, and the terminal effects are pretty much the same in defense applications, at close range.
I would recommend a 9mm carbine type weapon. A weapon held with two hands is far more stable and accurate. When the SHTF the adrenaline coursing through your body will make your hand jitter like crazy. Even trained cops will miss at 30 feet. That's the big advantage of a long gun, even carbine versions shooting 9mm.
So does every serious shooter, but you'll still be far more accurate with a longer gun you can brace against your shoulder. Add an RMR or laser and the results are even better. If you don't believe me, go to the range and test your pistol against a carbine, like a CZ Scorpion.
For me a Kanik Rival with a red/green holo and light with the aforementioned people-eater rounds. It's designed for very effective follow-up which makes me feel more confident about ripping off a couple and keeping doggos out of my sight picture.
The SKS I sold last year was the last weapon I had with a bayonet lug. My modern AK sadly lacks it. It makes it feel inappropriately underdressed, like seeing your friend's teenage daughter at the mall.
I was thinking I should get some tooling to make blades that mount onto a pistol's under barrel light rail. It's dumb, but it would also be pretty cool.
I like the 15 rounds of the Keltek, but not the kick. Benelli Xtrema II. You can shoot it with one hand - repeatedly. Semi Auto. I don't believe in warning home invaders with the clack-clack of a pump. Just point and shoot.
Oh no, I have them both in each shell. They make a nice little picture of a daisy on the target, if the daisy was drawn by a toddler with a selection of awls and more enthusiasm than skill.
"bird shot is better than buck" -- at home defense ranges, what comes out of the barrel of a shotgun is basically equivalent to a solid slug of lead, regardless of the load in the shell.
It is only after it has flown some distance (5-10 yards or meters) that it begins to break into a pattern. Home defense encounters (inside) rarely get to that range.
And he's right, nothing sounds quite like racking a round into the chamber of a pump shotgun. A sound known round the world. And you'll be WAY ahead, if you don't actually have to shoot the perp. If you do, your world will change in ways you never expected, none of them positive.
5 yards sneaks up faster than one may think. The distance from the top of a flight of stairs to the bottom is bumping up against it, for instance. Likewise the length of the hallway in a ranch, or one end of the living room to another.
Not that you are wrong, but someone would do well to measure out some of the likely distances in their home. Distance from your bedside to the bedroom door, from the bedroom door to the longest line of sight point towards an entrance, front door to wherever you would want to be standing if someone was breaking in through the door, etc. Even at pretty moderate ranges bird shot stops being able to crack ribs, especially if it is heavy winter coat season. So if the linear distance from the landing outside your bedroom door to the front door is 15-20 feet, something with heavier individual projectiles (buck shot) or higher speed (AR) might be a good plan.
I do wonder how much it matters across states what you shoot the person with. Like, if you shoot an intruder with bird shot will the legal system take it a being less likely you intended to kill? Or are you better off killing with something more solid if you have to shoot at all so that there is only one story coming out? Almost certainly something to check local laws about, as like you say, nothing good happens after you have to shoot someone and the situation is dealt with, and it is important to minimize the aftershocks.
All the more reason to live in a state with strong castle laws - like Texas.
"States like Texas allow citizens protecting their homes, car, or place of business or employment to use force – including lethal force – when an intruder has unlawfully entered or is attempting to enter using force; is attempting to remove someone from the home, car, or workplace by force; or is attempting to commit a crime such as rape, murder, or robbery. An attempt to retreat is not required before a citizen is justified in using force against the invasive party in Texas."
Yar, Australia has none. I feel very vulnerable, hearing shenanigans outside my property, with only my voice as a weapon. Need to take up archery... (but then, the law would put me away for it.)
Canada may have gone past the point of recovery at this point. But the US is not far behind. In Canada it's the legislators and dictator. In the US its the judiciary. DA's, Prosecutors and Judges with zero hands on the Constitution and two hands on their ideologies is a disaster in the making.
And the GA judge has just ruled that Fat-Ass Fani remains on the case as long as hired boy-toy steps down. Doesn’t matter that she’s lied, bribed, intimidated witnesses, broken the law, ad nauseum. She should’ve been stripped of her license & never allowed to practice again (except from a prison cell). There is no rule of law & that’s by design to demoralize & put us in our place.
I read that just now on Epoch Times and am so...well, OMG. I could not believe that ruling, yet nothing surprises me anymore. Just when we feel hope, the bb hits our balloon. Mordor is bubbling in our background.
I don’t know; initially I felt like there being no consequences got the lies, intimidation & frank corruption was typical (liberals can get away w/ EVERYthing w/out consequences). As time has gone on, it seems perhaps her problems are mounting & perhaps she WILL face severe consequences but I’ll believe it when I see it….
Believe me, I understand where you're coming from. I just liked how Jeff thought through, from a legal perspective, what the judge's written judgement was. I was also encouraged that they even investigated her at all. Time was, they would've said, "nothing to see here." Isn't it sad how low our expectations are for a system that is so obviously biased. The Lady with the Balanced Scales no longer has a blindfold.
The awakening of more people to what is really going on here is creating a wave of anger, and it is just a matter of time before we all go kinetic, globally. We The People of Planet Earth have had enough of these demonic criminals!! Seems more and more information is coming out to the point the perpetrators may soon become the hunted.
Yours is first info I have heard this AM other then PDJT posted comment. Good to see SC tossed, hopefully, DA is still under Bar review for her misconduct, not holding breathe tho, cause her disbarment from case should've been automatic!
When the populace is completely helpless, worthless, and scared....they will embrace totalitarian governments lauding the "safety" they can provide after years of intentionally making us unsafe.
And...just looking around at 'people' these days?? It is like the circus is in town. I am always on the lookout for high God given testosterone and work boots. Harder and harder to spot. Easier to find a dubious woman in transition than what used to be termed 'normal'. Male or female.
Well said. I went to Wisconsin Dells last weekend and I am still disgusted by what was there. The most morbidly obese humans I’ve seen in one place all in bathing suits drinking and eating absolute junk.
However, I am now in Branson and it has been so refreshing. American and English speaking workers everywhere. People aren’t completely out of shape. Men actually look like men. Women actually look like women. The north is toast.
Isn't it weird how different places enable the moral or the immoral? Actual localities make either the good and normal accepted and encouraged while others encourage and even subsidize the confused to complete a journey of crazed ideas or darkest desires as something to be aspired to...
Letting the Danes take over, the alternative being enslavement and serfdom, stopped the raids. Not like our southern cousins appreciated us or the norwegians coming to "do unto others", right?
On the other hand, the reason why England was ripe for the taking is rather pertinent: weak central power with no real military of its own, dependent on locals in any given area mobilising their own militia under their local lords instead.
Same with Ireland until the irish united under one king to drive the northmen off the island.
Whereas Byzantium, Sicily and the moors all had strong central governement with a well-organised professional military - and happily traded with and even employed lochlannach.
You're certainly correct. My point was that leaving us as an exterior threat that was paid protection money did not actually determine predatory behavior.
I could just as easily have used Rome as the ransom payer.
Oh, certainly I got the point, I just had to nitpick it.
It is a good lesson and history is the best teacher save for experience: have an armed and trained citizenry that can function as a support-force for police/military in a crisis means you limit your ability to rule. On the other hand, it may also act as a deterrent to criminals and invaders.
On the third hand, if an invader can subvert/suborn militia, they instead have force already emplaced if hostilities erupt. It all depends on the example picked (which pisses off ideologues to no end - reality isn't neat enough for their doctrines and disciplines).
On the fourth hand, /if/ you're going to wind up emptying your coffers to have peace - why not spend it on having a defensive deterrent anyway?
And on the fifth hand, reign in your quest for conquests to natural geographical borders.
(I'm stalling by the way - it's time for nightwalkies with the dogs and by looking busy, I'm trying to get the wife to wade out into the icy slush covering the yard.)
I just love it when El Gato Malo mentions Canada...make me feel so... so... ashamed of my country. And it could be another year or more before a Federal election is held and the Conservatives have a chance to reverse all of these horrendous policies.
I doubt there'll be a reversal; look at how many of the big blue Cs supported the Covid Crazy destruction of normal society. When Jean Charest had run to be the 'CON'servative leader, I hoped and prayed that it wasn't the big switcheroo. I'm not sure if he would have been worse than PP... At least the traitor could have been known. PP is a career politico who knows the rules and was part of the Queen's Privy Council back in the day. Controlled opposition... Let's hope for a better leadership.

I have a good friend who is an immigration attorney. I mentioned to this person that I recently heard Pastor Pawlowski at a conference. He is the Canadian pastor who strongly told the cops to get out of his church when they tried to close it down during Easter church services back in 2020 Or 2021 ("out, out" video went viral). He mentioned this Canadian law C-63. Very very bad. My friend has Canadian clients who are trying to immigrate (escape) to the US because of how bad it has gotten there. Yes, "The Minority Report" (the movie) is now reality.
Who poured what in the waters of Canada? Canadians better find the antidote fast.
One of the most terrifying books I ever read--and I read it as a grownup--is "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." The plowman is coming and he's going to rip up Mrs. Frisby's home and her little boy is sick and can't be safely moved.
She's a field mouse and her kid is too of course, but the thought of being helpless to protect one's children in one's own home is maybe the most profound horror ever.
The additional horror in this story is what government experimentation does to helpless animals but those rats...if you ain't read it, buy a copy for everyone you love.
I used to read one about a field mouse mama to my grandkid who kept having to move her baby mouse because of the farmer and the field work. It wasn’t the one you mention. It was her favorite book when visiting. It was hardly terrifying but focused on how the mom made the best decisions for her child without listening to the other animal advice like from the owl, bug, groundhog, etc. it had a touchy feely moon.
On the contrary, I love reading books upon which films are based and watching films that were based upon books. I have found through experience, that many films are better than the books, particularly if the actors and the film scores are exceptional. As a case in point, read Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and then watch the film version with Maggie Smith.
I disagree with your case in point, having read the book and seen the film a long time ago. They are different interpretations and can leave the reader/viewer with different responses.
Sometimes a brilliant movie is made from a mediocre book. And of course a great score can make a mediocre film a great emotional experience.
But I'm rarely satisfied with a cinematic rendering of a story I've loved well.
Retired Canadian lawyer here. I once had a client who had someone break into his house. He pulled out his handgun and scared them away. He was charged with improper storage of a gun as he had it by his bed instead of in a locked box separated from the ammunition. The criminal was not found.
Castle doctrine. Second Amendment. And good advice on a shotgun. The perfect weapon for close-quarters defense, not much of a chance of sending a round through the sheetrock that will kill a family member or through a window and drop a neighbor. This is too often overlooked. Also, there's a lot to be said for the accuracy and effectiveness of a spread pattern. No matter the target practice, it's a whole different world when your target is moving and breathing. Nobody is a bad ass. This is not a movie. But speaking of movies, expect Joe Biden to make a CANADIAN BACON move in the near future. Watch CANADIAN BACON. Great movie.
"the fact that none of these boundaries are known or knowable is not a bug, it’s a feature. " Fredrich Hayek wrote about this in his seminal book 'The Road to Serfdom' detailing the danger of socialism. The rise of the worst is also an operating mechanism. The book was featured in Reader's Digest at a time when most did not attend college. Now most do attend college and would unlikely get beyond the first page. This is not to exalt myself for reading it. I, too, had a difficult time and forced myself as if it were an exercise regime that you know will make you feel better in the end with strength and freedom of movement.
Good article, but being very familiar with Canada’s firearm laws, “safe storage” laws would preclude someone being able to access a working gun in time. In fact RCMP often prosecuted defenders if it seemed like they were able to access and load their gun “too quickly”.
similar here (Oz) and in UK, both of which had "events" which caused major change to gun laws, buybacks, etc. Ours was Port Arthur, the UK's was Dunblane - both in 1996. Guns must be in a locker or at the gun club. No carry, concealed or otherwise. All carry must be in boot of car.
Additionally, if you know any Martial Arts, you are considered "armed," and any action with your body will be considered criminal and dangerous.

Please arrange for nice weather on 4/8!
What IS to happen on 4/8? I read some hints, but I'd like to get more information. Do you know?
The eclipse. Taking my bride and girls up, and assumed kittynana was already aware (and as a local, dreading the arrival of out of towners).

Superior only geographically. ;) Hi, neighbor!

That's good advice.
Ooh I like the sound of that. Very good point about the pump action.
Thx for recommendation. I'm sold!
please note:
not kidding about "kicks like a donkey." it's sub 7 pounds empty and chambered behind the trigger. there's just no mass to suck up recoil, so lean in.
Will do. I just ordered it.

And the perp can't tell the difference, racking birdshot into the chamber sounds exactly the same as buckshot, and the terminal effects are pretty much the same in defense applications, at close range.
I've come to favor pistols for home defense. We have a stupid number of dogs and a determined home invasion would be complete chaos.
+p hollowpoint "defense rounds" will shred an unarmored body at home defense distances in 9mm or .45.
Racking the slide makes a distinctive sound too.
I would recommend a 9mm carbine type weapon. A weapon held with two hands is far more stable and accurate. When the SHTF the adrenaline coursing through your body will make your hand jitter like crazy. Even trained cops will miss at 30 feet. That's the big advantage of a long gun, even carbine versions shooting 9mm.
I operate handguns with both hands.
So does every serious shooter, but you'll still be far more accurate with a longer gun you can brace against your shoulder. Add an RMR or laser and the results are even better. If you don't believe me, go to the range and test your pistol against a carbine, like a CZ Scorpion.
I've got a HiPoint, it does fine. I just don't feel like keeping it on my nightstand.
My home was narrow halls, so my M&P .45 with tritium sights is my go to. My mossberg 500 with some spicy bird shot is a decent alternative choice.
For most people, a handgun probably isn’t the best home defense choice, but they definitely have their place.
Also, I’m not giving a warning other than possible verbal. The handgun is hot, because it is carried.
>> M&P .45 with tritium sights
Delicious. *chef's kiss*
For me a Kanik Rival with a red/green holo and light with the aforementioned people-eater rounds. It's designed for very effective follow-up which makes me feel more confident about ripping off a couple and keeping doggos out of my sight picture.
I like my .45 too, but the Mossberg has a lug for a bayonet. That's a strong argument in its favor :D
I like my Mossberg too.
The SKS I sold last year was the last weapon I had with a bayonet lug. My modern AK sadly lacks it. It makes it feel inappropriately underdressed, like seeing your friend's teenage daughter at the mall.
I lol'd :D
I was thinking I should get some tooling to make blades that mount onto a pistol's under barrel light rail. It's dumb, but it would also be pretty cool.
Not gonna lie, in high school I thought FF8's main character was hot because of the gunblade as much as any other qualities. 😊
Be careful with bird shot. There’s lots of varieties, they don’t do the same damage to walls—and predators.
Look up Paul Harrell on YouTube for actual wall tests and home defense viability of shotguns and various rounds.
I would personally use number 4 bird shot. But you do you.
#4 shot is a pretty good choice for people-stopping. Also won’t go through too many walls.
I like the 15 rounds of the Keltek, but not the kick. Benelli Xtrema II. You can shoot it with one hand - repeatedly. Semi Auto. I don't believe in warning home invaders with the clack-clack of a pump. Just point and shoot.
You mean the 00 is overkill?
I keep rounds with 4 00 and a slug. Hard to choose :)
Alternate. Magazine doesn’t care!
Oh no, I have them both in each shell. They make a nice little picture of a daisy on the target, if the daisy was drawn by a toddler with a selection of awls and more enthusiasm than skill.
In New York State (NYS) we aren't allowed any more than 7 rounds, thanks to Cuomo. Any more than that is a felony.
"bird shot is better than buck" -- at home defense ranges, what comes out of the barrel of a shotgun is basically equivalent to a solid slug of lead, regardless of the load in the shell.
It is only after it has flown some distance (5-10 yards or meters) that it begins to break into a pattern. Home defense encounters (inside) rarely get to that range.
And he's right, nothing sounds quite like racking a round into the chamber of a pump shotgun. A sound known round the world. And you'll be WAY ahead, if you don't actually have to shoot the perp. If you do, your world will change in ways you never expected, none of them positive.
5 yards sneaks up faster than one may think. The distance from the top of a flight of stairs to the bottom is bumping up against it, for instance. Likewise the length of the hallway in a ranch, or one end of the living room to another.
Not that you are wrong, but someone would do well to measure out some of the likely distances in their home. Distance from your bedside to the bedroom door, from the bedroom door to the longest line of sight point towards an entrance, front door to wherever you would want to be standing if someone was breaking in through the door, etc. Even at pretty moderate ranges bird shot stops being able to crack ribs, especially if it is heavy winter coat season. So if the linear distance from the landing outside your bedroom door to the front door is 15-20 feet, something with heavier individual projectiles (buck shot) or higher speed (AR) might be a good plan.
I do wonder how much it matters across states what you shoot the person with. Like, if you shoot an intruder with bird shot will the legal system take it a being less likely you intended to kill? Or are you better off killing with something more solid if you have to shoot at all so that there is only one story coming out? Almost certainly something to check local laws about, as like you say, nothing good happens after you have to shoot someone and the situation is dealt with, and it is important to minimize the aftershocks.
Oooo, skeet and trap shooting!
All the more reason to live in a state with strong castle laws - like Texas.
"States like Texas allow citizens protecting their homes, car, or place of business or employment to use force – including lethal force – when an intruder has unlawfully entered or is attempting to enter using force; is attempting to remove someone from the home, car, or workplace by force; or is attempting to commit a crime such as rape, murder, or robbery. An attempt to retreat is not required before a citizen is justified in using force against the invasive party in Texas."

Florida ain't too bad either. Laws or not. Everyone here knows you'll get your face shot off if you try that bullshit.
Good ole' boy mentality rules here....in other words....common sense.
Not if we keep getting all those "blue invaders".
Yeah does worry me a bit
Right now that just means stay out of Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jax.
You know I live between Tampa and Sarasota. Tampa has went red. Sarasota is probably 65% red.
That's basically because a shit ton of conservatives left blue hell holes to come down here during the plandemic.
Grew up with this:
An armed society is a polite society.
Unsure of source, it was - common amongst the good ol' boys.
Yar, Australia has none. I feel very vulnerable, hearing shenanigans outside my property, with only my voice as a weapon. Need to take up archery... (but then, the law would put me away for it.)
Why not both? :-)
What's a safety lock?
Thumbs up! Lolol
🤣🤣🤣👍
And then of course, the shotgun is nearby. The sound is sweet music.
Canada may have gone past the point of recovery at this point. But the US is not far behind. In Canada it's the legislators and dictator. In the US its the judiciary. DA's, Prosecutors and Judges with zero hands on the Constitution and two hands on their ideologies is a disaster in the making.
Extremely well said!!!
And the GA judge has just ruled that Fat-Ass Fani remains on the case as long as hired boy-toy steps down. Doesn’t matter that she’s lied, bribed, intimidated witnesses, broken the law, ad nauseum. She should’ve been stripped of her license & never allowed to practice again (except from a prison cell). There is no rule of law & that’s by design to demoralize & put us in our place.
I read that just now on Epoch Times and am so...well, OMG. I could not believe that ruling, yet nothing surprises me anymore. Just when we feel hope, the bb hits our balloon. Mordor is bubbling in our background.
But, this explains a little by Jeff Childers. a lawyer whose Substack is Coffee & Covid. Pretty interesting...
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/exhaustion-friday-march-15-2024-c
Yes, I subscribe to C&C & have to disagree w/ Jeff on this. Clay & Buck are fired up this morning on feeling appalled as I am
Why do you disagree? I thought his reasoning was sound. Would like to hear why you think what you think.
I don’t know; initially I felt like there being no consequences got the lies, intimidation & frank corruption was typical (liberals can get away w/ EVERYthing w/out consequences). As time has gone on, it seems perhaps her problems are mounting & perhaps she WILL face severe consequences but I’ll believe it when I see it….
Believe me, I understand where you're coming from. I just liked how Jeff thought through, from a legal perspective, what the judge's written judgement was. I was also encouraged that they even investigated her at all. Time was, they would've said, "nothing to see here." Isn't it sad how low our expectations are for a system that is so obviously biased. The Lady with the Balanced Scales no longer has a blindfold.
The awakening of more people to what is really going on here is creating a wave of anger, and it is just a matter of time before we all go kinetic, globally. We The People of Planet Earth have had enough of these demonic criminals!! Seems more and more information is coming out to the point the perpetrators may soon become the hunted.
Yours is first info I have heard this AM other then PDJT posted comment. Good to see SC tossed, hopefully, DA is still under Bar review for her misconduct, not holding breathe tho, cause her disbarment from case should've been automatic!
Clockwork orange was a warning.
When the populace is completely helpless, worthless, and scared....they will embrace totalitarian governments lauding the "safety" they can provide after years of intentionally making us unsafe.
And it is all a lie that the government is here to help.
"....help themselves." They just never finish the sentence.
and with wide open pockets
And...just looking around at 'people' these days?? It is like the circus is in town. I am always on the lookout for high God given testosterone and work boots. Harder and harder to spot. Easier to find a dubious woman in transition than what used to be termed 'normal'. Male or female.
Well said. I went to Wisconsin Dells last weekend and I am still disgusted by what was there. The most morbidly obese humans I’ve seen in one place all in bathing suits drinking and eating absolute junk.
However, I am now in Branson and it has been so refreshing. American and English speaking workers everywhere. People aren’t completely out of shape. Men actually look like men. Women actually look like women. The north is toast.
Isn't it weird how different places enable the moral or the immoral? Actual localities make either the good and normal accepted and encouraged while others encourage and even subsidize the confused to complete a journey of crazed ideas or darkest desires as something to be aspired to...
Refuse to be afraid.
Bingo
Danegeld didn't stop raids.
"if we put out some french fries, maybe the seagulls will leave the burgers alone."
Sign by my paito: "No Bugs Allowed"
Uhm actually... ;)
Letting the Danes take over, the alternative being enslavement and serfdom, stopped the raids. Not like our southern cousins appreciated us or the norwegians coming to "do unto others", right?
On the other hand, the reason why England was ripe for the taking is rather pertinent: weak central power with no real military of its own, dependent on locals in any given area mobilising their own militia under their local lords instead.
Same with Ireland until the irish united under one king to drive the northmen off the island.
Whereas Byzantium, Sicily and the moors all had strong central governement with a well-organised professional military - and happily traded with and even employed lochlannach.
(Sorry, lost the point somewhere.)
You're certainly correct. My point was that leaving us as an exterior threat that was paid protection money did not actually determine predatory behavior.
I could just as easily have used Rome as the ransom payer.
Oh, certainly I got the point, I just had to nitpick it.
It is a good lesson and history is the best teacher save for experience: have an armed and trained citizenry that can function as a support-force for police/military in a crisis means you limit your ability to rule. On the other hand, it may also act as a deterrent to criminals and invaders.
On the third hand, if an invader can subvert/suborn militia, they instead have force already emplaced if hostilities erupt. It all depends on the example picked (which pisses off ideologues to no end - reality isn't neat enough for their doctrines and disciplines).
On the fourth hand, /if/ you're going to wind up emptying your coffers to have peace - why not spend it on having a defensive deterrent anyway?
And on the fifth hand, reign in your quest for conquests to natural geographical borders.
(I'm stalling by the way - it's time for nightwalkies with the dogs and by looking busy, I'm trying to get the wife to wade out into the icy slush covering the yard.)
Oh, I've missed you, brother.
Likewise!
Here's a little skadeglädje (schadenfreude):
Day before yesterday, we had 24 hours of incessant drizzling showers, turning the snow to knee-deep slush.
Yesterday, we got 10" of wet heavy snow and strong winds.
During the night, it plummeted to -10C.
Now, everything is frozen solid, shut, and you need a pick or a saw to cut the snow.
And the door to the outdoors storage is frozen shut, its bottom part butried in several inches thick ice.
That's where the toilet paper is stored. "Freude schöner Götterfunken. . . "
I just love it when El Gato Malo mentions Canada...make me feel so... so... ashamed of my country. And it could be another year or more before a Federal election is held and the Conservatives have a chance to reverse all of these horrendous policies.
I doubt there'll be a reversal; look at how many of the big blue Cs supported the Covid Crazy destruction of normal society. When Jean Charest had run to be the 'CON'servative leader, I hoped and prayed that it wasn't the big switcheroo. I'm not sure if he would have been worse than PP... At least the traitor could have been known. PP is a career politico who knows the rules and was part of the Queen's Privy Council back in the day. Controlled opposition... Let's hope for a better leadership.

I have a good friend who is an immigration attorney. I mentioned to this person that I recently heard Pastor Pawlowski at a conference. He is the Canadian pastor who strongly told the cops to get out of his church when they tried to close it down during Easter church services back in 2020 Or 2021 ("out, out" video went viral). He mentioned this Canadian law C-63. Very very bad. My friend has Canadian clients who are trying to immigrate (escape) to the US because of how bad it has gotten there. Yes, "The Minority Report" (the movie) is now reality.
Who poured what in the waters of Canada? Canadians better find the antidote fast.
One of the most terrifying books I ever read--and I read it as a grownup--is "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." The plowman is coming and he's going to rip up Mrs. Frisby's home and her little boy is sick and can't be safely moved.
She's a field mouse and her kid is too of course, but the thought of being helpless to protect one's children in one's own home is maybe the most profound horror ever.
The additional horror in this story is what government experimentation does to helpless animals but those rats...if you ain't read it, buy a copy for everyone you love.
I used to read one about a field mouse mama to my grandkid who kept having to move her baby mouse because of the farmer and the field work. It wasn’t the one you mention. It was her favorite book when visiting. It was hardly terrifying but focused on how the mom made the best decisions for her child without listening to the other animal advice like from the owl, bug, groundhog, etc. it had a touchy feely moon.

Original books are almost always better than filmed renderings. You don't want stories filtered through someone else's editorial judgments.
On the contrary, I love reading books upon which films are based and watching films that were based upon books. I have found through experience, that many films are better than the books, particularly if the actors and the film scores are exceptional. As a case in point, read Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and then watch the film version with Maggie Smith.
I disagree with your case in point, having read the book and seen the film a long time ago. They are different interpretations and can leave the reader/viewer with different responses.
Sometimes a brilliant movie is made from a mediocre book. And of course a great score can make a mediocre film a great emotional experience.
But I'm rarely satisfied with a cinematic rendering of a story I've loved well.
Each to his own:)
Retired Canadian lawyer here. I once had a client who had someone break into his house. He pulled out his handgun and scared them away. He was charged with improper storage of a gun as he had it by his bed instead of in a locked box separated from the ammunition. The criminal was not found.
That's the way it would be here in Oz, too. Crim has more protection than citizen/landowner.
Did your client win the case?
Unfortunately not. He really had no defence
That's quite the messed up scenario, I'm sorry he was charged with that.
Castle doctrine. Second Amendment. And good advice on a shotgun. The perfect weapon for close-quarters defense, not much of a chance of sending a round through the sheetrock that will kill a family member or through a window and drop a neighbor. This is too often overlooked. Also, there's a lot to be said for the accuracy and effectiveness of a spread pattern. No matter the target practice, it's a whole different world when your target is moving and breathing. Nobody is a bad ass. This is not a movie. But speaking of movies, expect Joe Biden to make a CANADIAN BACON move in the near future. Watch CANADIAN BACON. Great movie.
The beer sucks!
"the fact that none of these boundaries are known or knowable is not a bug, it’s a feature. " Fredrich Hayek wrote about this in his seminal book 'The Road to Serfdom' detailing the danger of socialism. The rise of the worst is also an operating mechanism. The book was featured in Reader's Digest at a time when most did not attend college. Now most do attend college and would unlikely get beyond the first page. This is not to exalt myself for reading it. I, too, had a difficult time and forced myself as if it were an exercise regime that you know will make you feel better in the end with strength and freedom of movement.
Good article, but being very familiar with Canada’s firearm laws, “safe storage” laws would preclude someone being able to access a working gun in time. In fact RCMP often prosecuted defenders if it seemed like they were able to access and load their gun “too quickly”.
do you have some links on that?
would be interesting to look at
similar here (Oz) and in UK, both of which had "events" which caused major change to gun laws, buybacks, etc. Ours was Port Arthur, the UK's was Dunblane - both in 1996. Guns must be in a locker or at the gun club. No carry, concealed or otherwise. All carry must be in boot of car.
Additionally, if you know any Martial Arts, you are considered "armed," and any action with your body will be considered criminal and dangerous.
Same with NY
