    Isn’t TDS simply people taking anything they don’t like and blaming it on Trump?

    In other words, it’s people who will not take responsibility for anything that goes wrong in their life.

    Isn’t that the 21st century mind which infects all of western civilisation?

    No doubt it has happened elsewhere, but a NZ doctor has been deregistered and ordered to pay substantial costs, for publicising anti covid policy views and criticising then media favourites. It seems her views on health are broader than those conventionally espoused. Can’t have that can we. Don’t hold your breath waiting for informed comment and analysis in the media.

    From Cosman, a miracle! For three years, 100% of all Russian drones were shot down! Every single day. Not a single one ever got through, except on accident. Then, March 18th. Putin and Trump agree not to hit energy systems. Next day, MIRACLE! EVERY Russian drone got through and EVERY ONE hit an energy facility. Wow. What are the odds???

    Ze then says, “You can’t have peace, you can’t even trust this Putin guy!” and all Europe claps.

    Luongo, fully outdoing himself, which is why we listen to this guy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73_1okn5r1s

    Okay, what’s up with Canada? And long story? Well what are we fighting? Europe. UK specifically. Really? How are they controlling us? With the Eurodollar market. Really? Where do they get the leverage/ammunition to control a U.S. far larger and healthier than they are? U.S. dollars. Huh. Interesting.

    Moving on, what’s Trump doing with the tariffs, hard-core shutting off trade (not yet) with Canada or turning them into a state? CANADA IS SUCKING $20B A MONTH OUT OF US. That’s a Trade deficit, which is, yes, our problem, (we should be independent and making those goods, we’re “printing money” and getting “free goods” as I’ve said 1,000 times). But then Canada, a proxy of London, uses that $20B/mo to control the U.S.

    We can’t break the bank, London, and the colonization without shutting off those flows.

    So Canada, that problem has to be solved. Now. That’s the order of operations requirement. Don’t care how: shut off trade (don’t want) Turning into a state so we both use US$ (don’t want), OR just equalize the trade so the ammunition flow shuts down. Not your fault, but one step down the line in England.

    WHO does London send, install, not elected? The Bank of England. Literally. …And it’s so whack, Carney can’t even address Parliament because he doesn’t have an MP seat. …But that hardly matters since Parliament has been suspended and may never come into session again. …You know, like Democracies do.

    I exaggerate? They say there’s no election. There just WAS no election, a week ago, yet we have a new PM. There maybe, MIGHT be an election, I dunno, October? Who knows. Unless, you know, anything at all happens. No there’s no drop-dead date since they can just call Emergency Powers and hold it off more months…then more somethings. Maybe another year, maybe never.

    WHAT. The. ….

    So…as this Host (Alberta?) says, Does, um, anybody know how the f– Canada is ruled? At all? So you can just never have a parliament, never have an election, yet everything runs just like it did before, and everyone waves the flag about their wonderful democracy more than ever? More than when all Canada drove to Ottawa to talk, ‘cuz THAT was just ridiculous. We burned all our Canadian flags then, as they were symbols of White Supremacy and hate. …I Assure you, I’m not making this up, even though it seems impossible for it to be true. Blue Screen Said! 5 Minutes of Hate!

    So…anybody know how Canadian government works? At all? We always suspected it’s really like 10 family oligarchs like in Sweden, etc, approved by the Crown, who just kept out of sight but that’s never seemed so logically required as the evidence we see right now.

    Speaking of: FIRST act of Carney Barker is to LIE. Big, bold, beautiful lies. Sad. On what?

    First act, shows up, Press Circus, HE ACTS JUST LIKE TRUMP, has an “Executive Order” signing. Huh? They’re so bereft of creativity, ideas, they IMITATE HITLER? Yup, that’s their go-to. Okaaaaay. No, it gets better. Canada doesn’t have “Executive Orders” they don’t have an “Executive” so to speak, they have a Parliament. …And Parliament isn’t in session and may never be again. And Carney’s not a Minister anyway. Uhhhh… So what’s he signing? HE’S REPEALING ALL CARBON TAX. Wait: The LABOUR has a ride-or-die on how you’re a polar bear genoncidal maniac who is trying to kill everyone like Hitler if we don’t have this tax. Like 30%. On Gas. Murderign everyone who’s not in downtown T’ronto where there’s mass transit. Canada is one of the few nations it got through because it’s so insane and will kill everyone. Carney, Mr. Global, core member of WEF, Head of the Bank of England, LABOUR PM, repeals it?

    Yup. So victory lab for Labour to remove this tax! Golf clap! They care! …That they themselves burned Canada down to install, and was the key plank of Polivere’s campaign. So… Carney is a …Trump CONSERVATIVE? Because Trump is Hitler? Yup. Seems so.

    Okay, but… I know what you’re saying: Wait, Carney CAN’T repeal this law passed by Parliament because only Parliament can UN-pass it, and they may never be in session again. Correct. That’s what he signed, this citizen-who-is-not-a-minister, and was not voted in an election. Ever. He repealed a law he cannot repeal, which is why there were cameras there, which there never are. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg29JfMTKbM

    Well, Democracy is safe! I for one am relieved. As far as we can tell, Canada LOVES it. Can’t get enough. We hate that nasty Trump and all Americans, Go Canada! Carney’ll show him, by signing blank pieces of paper on camera!

    I got nothin’. I thought I’d seen the limits of Bernays before, but apparently we were just scratching the surface of “For the love of God make this make sense.” So is it Burn Canada Flag day, or Wave Canada Flag day?

    “”It’s come as quite a shock to me that there’s this level of hatred and violence from the left.”

    Everyone says this. Where have they been? This has been going on since Clinton in the 90s. “There’s a vaaaaast Right-Wing conspiracy…” No joke.

    “”I decided I would bring them into Treasury, give them a year to investigate the wrongdoing that is going on at the IRS.”

    Like it.

    “• Biden Autopen Actions ‘Non-Delegable’ and ‘Invalid,’ Legal Analysis Finds (DS)

    They’re not quick here. Basically SOME powers can’t be delegated…which if you think about it is interesting. Why some and not others? Now logically this makes sense, but legally what’s the line? Fine if “Pardon” is the line, I agree. So apparently sometimes they use the autopen for Health Secretary to “sign” the thing Biden says is authorized? Why not have him sign with his HS Director signature? At the same time, if Joe is on premises, why use a robot? It’s faster to just use a pen. So like, WHEN could this ever be used, and HOW would you authorize it? Someone calls you on the phone from Nigeria and says it’s Joe?

    The other part is noted: IF Joe can’t do it, can’t sign anymore, there are problems, we only JUST passed a difficult, elaborate, detailed law for that in 25A. And you couldn’t be arsed to bother? Why’d we pass it? Someone needs to be impeached and prosecuted for that as well. Anyway, remember Trump said he’d make THEM use 25A, back before Joe was even a candidate? So Team Red had that planned out, but Blue chose a different chess move to not. So now, Team Red gets to capitalize on EVERY law he ever signed is illegal. Null. Then after we do that, 2-3 years that’s all been digested, we can broach that Obama wasn’t a legitimate President, so none of his either. They started that in like 2012, but not realizing how very, very far behind the curve the People were. So…it takes what it takes, and here we are. Still barely dragging them into reality.

    “• Trump to Sign Order to Eliminate Department of Education (ET)

    I didn’t check this but apparently the DoE doesn’t do Education? Like some student loans, but really other things.

    FTC: I guess we’ll have to find out. Depends how the law was written. They seem to have been very careful so far, so it’s probably legal or at least arguable. This was true of the Trans/military act where they said, “Hey, if you’re not showing, not on drugs/hormones, etc, you can serve.” Like any other medical issue. If your arm is broken or you’re on anti-psychotics, you can’t serve. When you leave the Desk Reference category, you can. Same with the Tren Flight: careful to deal with them all under the MILITARY law with military people. No mixing. I heard they used a El Salvador plane, so that removes another layer. But: Careful. They’re keeping very strict to the law, it seems.

    “• What Will US Trade Wars With Canada, Mexico And Europe Lead To? (Pacini)

    The recent trade wars waged by the United States against Canada, Mexico and Europe have had a significant impact on the international economic system.

    As above, that’s the POINT. We can’t break free or get a new Post WWII system until we break this.

    Infowars’ Owen Shroyer Swatted As Conservatives Continue To Be Targeted
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/infowars-owen-shroyer-swatted-conservatives-continue-be-targeted

    Attempted murder by policeman. Hoping there will be an “unfortunate accident” – or at least terrorize, humiliate the person.

    NSA knows everything about the swatters, surely. But they do nothing.

    Oh no, too hard? Then NSA not being able to identify them proves the call is not legitimate. If the NSA cannot find them, do not send a swat team.

    I don’t understand why a totally anonymous call from a totally undetermined location making totally unverified claims voids the 4th amendment of the Constitution of the United States in any case.

    But again, we know the hierarchy goes way up and these are domestic terrorists. All they are doing IS terrorizing. NSA cannot follow the chain up, no bigger fish up there you might be interested in? Really?

    @ mpsk
    Thank you for the better video — the others were so blurry and tiny that I couldn’t tell anything except blood flying when JFK was shot. Once I had seen the closeup of the driver shooting the gun several times, I could identify the entire sequence in the un-enlarged video, clear as day.

    I would really like IDCAI syndrome

    I Don’t Care About Israel

    …but this would not only involve ignoring what they do, but not sending them any free shit like:

    -hundreds of billions of dollars
    -weapons and ammo
    -planes
    -more hundreds of billions of dollars
    -shared intelligence from operatives
    -satellite and gps data
    -logistical support
    -more hundreds of billions of dollars
    -US foreign policy revolving around free diplomatic assistance
    -shared electronics/communications data captured by NSA etc
    -economic preferential treatment
    -even yet more hundreds of billions of dollars

    Like if the Daily Wire likes to rave about how you mustn’t think badly of Israel, the correct response is, I don’t think about you at all.

    If Israel wants to see how they can do what they do without massive US support, have at it.

    but instead Vortigern gives away Kent to the barbarians – to save Roman Britain for the next generation. And that’s how they hung on til they got Ambrosius and Arthur. But they vilified Vortigern for saving them. And incidentally, it did lead to them being called foreigners and Britain turning into England, so there is that.

    Some people seem to associate Gabbard’s recent behavior with being an opportunistic cunt but since I’m not crass enough to use that insensitive term one must acknowledge Hegseth on other hand is an obviously opportunistic prick now since DEI died at the hands of Presidential fiat.

    “Is there a way to quantify Trump Derangement?

    I decided to use reddit’s API and download a bunch of data from a wide variety of subreddits – specifically, those that are focused on politics and current events.
    First, I wanted to see which ones have the highest amounts of Trump derangement syndrome – that is to say, how much a given subreddit exclusively focuses on Donald Trump to the exclusion of everything else.
    These were the subreddits that had the highest amount of content devoted to Trump:
    • inthenews: 66 percent
    • geopolitics: 66 percent
    • moderatepolitics: 60 percent
    • neutralnews: 58 percent
    • politics: 54 percent
    Indeed I had expected a good degree of content to be focused on him, but even
    these percentages were quite surprising.

    Additionally, subreddits that are supposedly focused on global news tend to have more coverage of Donald Trump than America focused subreddits. For example, I found that the news subreddit had about a quarter of its content devoted to Trump, whereas world news was closer to 45%.
    The following were the subreddits that had the least amount of content devoted to Trump:
    • OurPresident: 4 percent
    • upliftingnews: 2 percent
    • LateStageCapitalism : 2 percent
    • Libertarian: 0 percent
    • Futurology: 0 percent
    Uplifting news and futurology aren’t that surprising, as they aren’t strictly speaking political. Late stage capitalism was surprising, although it was clear that they were moderating content to a high degree.

    Even more surprising than that, however, was the near zero mention of Trump in the libertarian subreddit. Which got me to thinking, either Libertarians don’t really seem to care about Trump, or the moderation team is not really as libertarian as they claim to be.” https://substack.com/home/post/p-159363723?source=queue

    I know I don’t.

    However, I appreciate it greatly, since it’s their emotional attention that keeps him going and gets him and everyone elected. Couldn’t a dun it without you.

    Gabbard was involved in a War Powers Resolution that would have ended US support for the Saudi war in Yemen, which was vetoed by Trump in 2019. “Congress has now for a very long time given up its responsibility to declare war. And this war in Yemen is a perfect example. So, I and a few of my colleagues are introducing a resolution that will take back our congressional authority and responsibility that’s given to us through the United States Constitution to stop this, our illegal participation in this Saudi-led genocidal war in Yemen,” she said in the 2018 interview.

    If a product does not say “Soap” on it, then it is not soap!
    Only soap can be labeled soap!

    Example: Dove Beauty Bars. Everyone assumes Dove is soap. But you will not find the word “Soap” on any of it’s packaging!
    My daughter said it was soap and went to get one to only prove it was “not” soap.
    She was so sure it said Dove soap!

    2025 Maple Syrup Season – Update:

    The flow of maple sap here in Toronto was more than a month later in 2025, compared to 2024 when the sap started flowing early at the end of January.
    In 2024, I collected 33 litres of sap yielding 0.8 litres of maple syrup.

    So far, I have collected 28 litres of maple sap and have started boiling operations.
    At 40 litres of sap to 1 litre of maple syrup, these 28 litres should yield 0.7 litres of the sweet stuff!

    I am still hoping the maple sap will continue to flow until early April, if the weather co-operates.
