Trudeau’s War on Truckers Is a War on Truth
On Monday night, I watched in horror as the votes were counted in Canada’s House of Commons over Justin Trudeau’s invocation of The Emergencies Act. Under the auspices of this invocation, Trudeau’s government has seized the bank accounts of anyone affiliated with the Freedom Convoy, arrested over a hundred protestors and those who planned the truckers’ protest and even seized some of the trucks in what has been an appalling display of government overreach.
And yet, Trudeau won; according to the majority of our elected representatives, the Emergencies Act would stand—at least for now; it is currently being debated by the Senate.
The House voting to affirm Trudeau’s actions was a staggering blow, not just to Canada’s protesting truckers but to anyone with a commitment to civil liberties, the rule of law and even the truth. As many have pointed out, there simply is no emergency to speak of. All the blockaded border crossings were open by the time Trudeau announced his invocation of EA, and up until the police arrived in Ottawa this past weekend, there had been no violence whatsoever at any demonstration associated with the Freedom Convoy. In fact, crime in downtown Ottawa dropped during the protest.
Of course, you probably don’t know that. And it’s not your fault. Instead of covering the actual protest, the media chose to focus on alleged “hate crimes” which are never followed up on, or on the lunatic fringe—people who were officially disassociated from the movement by the organizers of the convoy.

Texas candidate kicks up controversy by posing nearly nude atop an oil pump
A woman running for railroad commissioner in the Lone Star State has raised eyebrows over her racy campaign video — in which she straddles an oil pump wearing little more than a cowboy hat and boots.
“They said I needed money. I have other assets,” GOP lawyer Sarah Stogner, 37, said in a tweet of the campaign clip posted to TikTok.
Stogner, who posted the steamy video on Super Bowl Sunday, said it was shot in November by a documentary crew she hired for her campaign against incumbent Wayne Christian, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Some friends suggested that she post the video on TikTok to call attention to leaking wells in West Texas, according to the paper.
“I started doing a little digging and was like, wow, this is great,” she told the outlet. “This is how I’m going to communicate to the masses about what’s happening out here, because people are visual.”
Stogner told the paper she decided to release the video because the risk seemed worth it — as a University of Houston poll showed her only a few points behind Christian, who has been bankrolled by oil and gas interests.
“I knew it would be controversial. I didn’t realize it would incite the rage and anger that it did from the press,” she told the Chronicle.
anyone with a commitment to civil liberties
Your civil liberties were just civilly removed.
“I knew it would be controversial. I didn’t realize it would incite the rage and anger that it did from the press,” she told the Chronicle.
Leftist media hates traditionally attractive women.
They particularly hate PAWs who exploit that. Somehow, those women are victims of the patriarchy. I’d say she’s exploiting the patriarchy, not the other way around.
Exploit me, Baby!
PAWs – Phat Ass White?
Typo. Should have been TAWs, for “traditionally attractive women.” Or, I should have just copy/pastied like a real nerd.
Ahh.
Maybe it’s just me, but she doesn’t look particularly attractive. Just not horrible.
Who doesn’t appreciate a good pastie?
Spoiler: last good thing Alyssa Milano did.
*Nods knowingly at DEG*
They never matured past Junior High and that Becky Robertson NEVER should have gotten all that attention?
They claim to be sex positive, and hate slut shaming. Yet…
The bottom line is, nothing they say applies to conservatives or people who are in any way right-leaning, real, or perceived.
Black empowerment is great, they say? Ask about Clarence Thomas or Larry Elders. Does a woman deserve respect? See Sarah Palin or Margret Thatcher and how they were treated. The fact-checking, affirmative action, DEI; none of that applies to anyone outside the Dem reservation. It’s bullshit all the way down.
I almost bailed on that video….twice. But the fellow commenting managed to keep me in to the end.
I am still wincing.
What’s wrong with Ministry?
*narrows gaze*
I skipped around, heard the word “representation”, and instantly bailed.
On a related note, I’m on my 73rd watch of the railroad commissioner candidate’s video. Just when I thought nothing would reignite my passion for democracy, she came along and elevated my interest.
It took you 73 times to come to right conclusion?
No, I concluded about every 5th time through.

Yes, it’s on topic.
I remember when Ministry’s label sent out promotional bottles of motor oil.

No, that would be motor oil *additives*.

To be fair, a lot of us are terrified of Biden, but not for the reasons Stephen King thinks.
No, that’s not it.
The U.S. economy has been hit with increased gas prices, inflation, and supply-chain issues due to the Ukraine crisis.
I see all the problems will be blamed on the problem that is not a problem for us.
And the only way to fix it is to vote the same asshats back into office!
I don’t recall when I last filled up, but gas has gone up $0.40 per gallon since then.
I filled up last week ($3.779), and it was a dime a gallon higher than the previous Friday.
I paid $2.079 a few days after the election in November 2020.
OFFS.
Help us, Joe – you’re our only hope!
Shouldn’t Twitter ban them for fake news?
I’m sure they can find an expert like Paul Krugman to verify that they are correct.
I do not see how a crisis that began a few weeks ago is responsible for inflation and supply chain problems that began a year or more ago.
Viewing time as a linear progression with “causes” preceding “effects” is white supremacist thinking which denies the reality of LGBTQBIPOC+ people.
Do better.
I think the correct phrasing is “denies the lived experiences of ” blah-blah-blah.
They really think our memories are so short we will think inflation started last month?
“They said I needed money. I have other assets,” GOP lawyer Sarah Stogner, 37, said in a tweet of the campaign clip posted to TikTok.
And those other assets are great.

Oh, and she hunts and fishes.

That’s cool.
Also, “ban evasion” is indeed a badge of honor, as it’s the go-to when they don’t like someone but don’t have even the faintest hint of a TOS violation to pin on them. That’s what was used to ban the “Defiant Ls” account, but it had such a big following and the move was so blatantly baseless that it was reversed.

Aussies do have guns: Largest collection of militaria in Australia goes to auction
Australia’s largest collection of historic militaria – amassed by one passionate enthusiast – is up for auction this week.
Rod Bellars, of Victoria, collected more than 10,000 items of military equipment over the span of 60 years before his death last year.
His collection included tanks, firearms, swords, military uniforms, helmets, boots and heavy artillery.
According to the Aussies on the gun collectors’ forum where I found out about the auction, the owner went to great lengths to keep the collection legal. Many of the guns, including machine guns, are still functional. They didn’t say anything about whether or not the tanks or artillery pieces are still functional. I didn’t go through the lot listing to see.
But, I did find some lot listings.
Tanks
Oh not again. Looks like my post went off into the spam queue.
Guns, including machine guns
Swords
Artillery
There are more parts to the auction. You can poke around the Lloyds Online website to find the rest if you are interested.
Swords
Boy those guns went quick…
When Bob Hope visited the troops, they gave him some tanks for the memories.
For that, I hope you get a toothache.

NATURE BOY RULES!
When I was a young Firster just earning my reputation, I challenged The Nature Boy to a First-off for the ages. Maybe I’ll tell my tale one day.
I’m guessing when Flair has a “first-off” with the 28 year old model, he wins every single time. She’ll be lucky to get any “off” in that situation.
He’s gotta be shootin’ dust out of that thing by now. She could just brush it off her shirt like bread crumbs.
Right, like Keto bread crumbs. All protein, no carbs.

Apparently The Hair That Walks Like A Man™ has just rescinded the Emergencies Act. My suspicion is that he didn’t want to face the Senate vote, which was looking much more unlikely to rubber-stamp his invoking of the Act than the Commons was.
Some goodish news
News stories about legally given charity monies and freezing everyday Canadians’ accounts might have turned the key too. Also the leak of their private location and information…and cops acting ‘professionally’ and on and on.

News story
Whoa.
He had to do it! What other choice was there?
Odds that he’ll unfreeze the bank accounts and lay off on the individuals?
I’m sure they’ll be real quick to undo those actions.
And the media will hold him to it.
Even if he unfreezes the accounts, he’s saving the list for future reference.
The chilling effect has already rolled out to other ordinary Canadians who might otherwise have objected to government overreach in the future.

Kana “Tanukana” Tani, one of the most prominent female figures in esports fighting, had her contract with Cyclops Athletic Gaming terminated after she made controversial remarks.
In an esports world dominated by male players, Tanukana stands out with her impressive records and placings on “Tekken.” On Thursday, however, her livestream comments where she stated short men under 5 feet 7 inches did not have “human rights,” adding that those who fall under in height should consider bone-lengthening surgery.
This resulted in her firing from Japanese esports company Cyclops Athletic Gaming, whose main sponsors are Red Bull and Alienware.
No one has a sense of humor these days.

and dead fish, cowshit, chasing skunks….
Yup. My old mutt would roll around in mud and slack pond water whenever we went out for a walk. He’d be so happy, then when we got home he’d act like a vampire being sprayed with holy water when I’d hose him off. You could almost hear him shrieking, “What are you doing? I stink so pretty right now!”
My mutt, who had some rhodesian ridgeback in her, would do this too.
I walked her on a running trail once, and she found where a jogger had a bathroom emergency.
She literally ground it into the fur around her neck and then tried to rub all over me.
Walking her back with a leash and a stick to keep her away was horrifying; gagging and crying the whole way.
She also did not appreciate the bath.
Last summer when I was staying at my dad’s house, I buried some fish guts in the garden. Didn’t think anything of it.
Got a call from my sister a few weeks later when she was staying at the house. Seems her beagle had found the burial site, dug it up and spent the afternoon rolling around on some fish skins that were still there.
The dog was please, I was amused, but my sister was neither.

Mine did too and it was a huge step backwards. I don’t mind updates, but this looks like a website from five years ago and it’s not intuitive at all.
Yeah, same here. I don’t understand why they think that e-mail or text code verification is secure.
They should be using U2F authenticators like a Yubikey, or a BitBox or something. That’s far more secure than sending a text message to a cell phone that might or might not be in the owner’s hand.
Yeah. I actually “hacked” quite a few of my mom’s accounts (at my dad’s behest) after she passed just be doing a hard reset on her phone.

Apropos that this comment came right after the scouring of the Shire just above…
Uffda. This story obliquely points out why the LP is so worthless. MPR’s story is about two of Minnesoda’s major parties plans to run candidates against King Walz. (They are mad that King Walz talks a game about legal pot but really doesn’t do anything).
What is depressing is that the four major parties in Minnesoda are:
Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party
Grassroots-Legalize Cannabis Party
Legal Marijuana Now Party
Republican Party of Minnesota
The Minnesoda LP party is in the second tier. For fuck’s sake, the splitters in the pot movement can’t even work together and they are both out drawing you!
FWIW, there’s a movement afoot to make the LP not quite so pathetic.
I listen to Dave Smith’s Part of the Problem podcast and have some hope he might help get them on some reasonable path for success.
But still, you would think that the last elections would have gotten shit tons of votes for the LP.
All you need to know about how most voters think:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7NeRiNefO0
The LP has been pissing away opportunities for a decade now. Ron Paul tried to save them but they shit all over his supporters when he stopped running.
I think it was taken over by people planted in the party to delegitimize. Have you ever heard Nick Sarwark talk? That guy was doing a bad impression of what what progs think of left libertarians. Yeah, collectivist identitarianism is a great sales pitch to people in the radical individualist party.
I’m supporting the Mises Caucus which has vowed to make asshats like Sarwark irrelevant. Hopefully they’ll get Angela McCardle elected to chair this year. She’s the bomb.
Agree. I actually registered as a libertarian for the first time so I could try to vote Mises. She’d be a great chair and with Dave Smith and his buddies in charge of messaging, I think the could actually get some real attention. The elections are due for another technological disruption with the explosion of independent media and the marvelous death of legacy media. These guys actually get that and are planning around it.
“they shit all over his supporters when he stopped running.”
When was that?

Two Manhattan prosecutors leading Trump Organization probe resign
Two prosecutors heading the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s probe into the Trump Organization called it quits on Wednesday – throwing the case into question.
The resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne were first reported by The New York Times.
A source confirmed to The Post that the prosecutors jointly stepped down. The source stressed that the coordinated nature of the departures was a sign of intense frustration with the direction of the case.
Criminal defense attorney Ron Fischetti, who represents the Trump Organization, told The Post he saw the resignations coming and was “happy” with the development, while maintaining his clients’ innocence.
He said there was “no investigation” without Pomerantz and Dunne, adding that the resignations were a sign that Bragg could soon close the case.
So, they have an inside scoop that Trump isn’t running on 2024?
That is the problem with this country. We can’t build a decent wall that is capable of “closing in” anymore.
I keep hearing that we can build those walls, but where is the proof?

I find all the stories about businesses being forced to close due to the protests to be funny, because I’m pretty sure protesters didn’t force anyone to close their businesses.

My first thought was that it’s a prank, but the rest of the internets seems to confirm. There’s a “documentary” about him from a few years back where he’s just in a total downward spiral, but my recollection was that the further you get into it, the more it seems the whole thing is staged. I may have to watch it again to remember. His first Comedy Central special was one of my all time favorites. His humor is my favorite combination of absurd childish whimsy and pure pitch black morbidity – wrapped up in hack magician packaging.
‘Trudeau and others in the ruling elites convinced themselves that the nonviolent demonstration of populist anger about COVID restrictions would become Canada’s January 6, a violent insurrection that would overthrow the government.’

No, I think he’s got that one right. You’d be amazed at how many people up here in The Great White North took to Twitter and basically stated that this was an “imported” protest by “MAGA types” and funded by “foreign interests” who wanted to see a government overthrown. They’re still throwing around idiotic claims like the truckers’ protest was an act of “sedition,” blah blah blah.

Given the horseshit we’ve been treated to in the last year (not to mention the heinous treatment of the protestors they rounded up) I wish at least a few reps had been insurrected. It’s not as if the response would be any less deranged.
*sigh*
As much as it pains me to do this:

I guess to get printed in Newsweek, you can’t call out an obvious false flag when you see it. That would be too conspiratorial even though the only image of guys with a Nazi flag I saw was of 6 dudes walking alone wearing black masks over their faces.’
The Bro has addresed a broader point.
However Gordo intended for it to be precievied, a large portion of the readers will assume he conceded the assumption of intent by the 1/6 idiots. I personally assume the vast, vast, majority of them thought they could emulate a Madison, Wisconsin style protest and walk away freely with no repercussions, not assume they as a group largely comprised of unarmed, middle-aged to elderly people could could actually overthrow the US government. The very idea is fucking retarded. But for many readers (also fucking retarded) that little concession of his (in their minds) validates the government overreach.
Give an inch, lose a mile.
Or you know like the women’s march that interrupted senate business.

And now for something completely different:
Anybody here do printed circuit board prototyping using one of the many, many different “free” design programs available Out There? I’ve tried several, and I must admit I find them all kinda baffling; I must be a lot dumber than I thought (always the last to know). For one thing, none of them seem to have a suite of commands that are similar to any of the graphics programs I’m used to (and I’ve used some strange ones — Xara, anybody?), and that problem is so far outside what I think their graphics front-ends oughta do that it’s really throwing me off.
Can anyone recommend something? I’m not unwilling to run through tutorials etc., but the ones I’ve tried so far don’t seem to be very good. And certain progs are real kludgy hair-pullers **COUGH*KiCad*COUGH**.
Do you want to do schematic capture?
I can build the schematic myself, if that’s what you’re asking; if you mean “Do I want to import others’ schematics?,” I suppose that would be useful, but not required.
Well, there is software that you draw the schematic, then generates a PCB from from it.
Like Scruffy, I don’t know what is free now or good now.
Once upon a long time ago I could tell you, but I’m definitely curious to see what others say.
I’ve always paid someone to do all that and never delivered more than the algorithm. If I may, what are you trying to do? Just learn how to do it for the sake of knowing?
I know PLC are huge compared to a single PCB, but maybe context will help.
At some point someone is going to deliver a cellphone-sized box with all the interfaces you need to load files you wrote from the comfort of your laptop AND with enough I/O you can port through sort of phone-sized cable (or bluetooth).
No, I’ve got some circuits that I’m prototyping, but ultimately want to create PCBs for. Being able to submit them to a fabber would be nice, but really, I’d probably just PDF ’em and roll the actual copper at home in my lab. In the past, I’ve drawn them almost by hand, but they look kinda “hacky” to me and I’d like to be able to do something slightly better. Yeah, I know, no-one’s ever gonna see it inside an enclosure, but *I* know it’s there.
I use expresspcb.com for custom boards I use at work. They have a schematic program which will link with the board program.

Just saw an interesting number. The EU gets 1/3 of it’s natural gas supply from Russia. This number is inflated because of the environmental mandates they put in place. Russia is laughing all the way to Kyiv. I suspect the Baltic countries and Finland are getting nervous.
What’s funnier?
The German Green Party, which pushed hard for shutting down coal and nuclear in Germany, hates the Russians.
Stupid isn’t confined to DC.
Or Albany, where the exact same story is in play.
I don’t understand why Finland is ever mentioned in this context. Ukraine has a long history of being in the same state as Russia, many Russians–including Putin–consider Russians and Ukrainians to be the same people. The Baltic countries have large poorly treated Russian minorities. But Finland is not like these countries. There are no Russians living there and the history of Finland being part of Russia was relatively brief.
Same average blood alcohol content?
Heard some dude on radio say that Finland is unnecessarily getting its panties in a twist because Russia would have to go through Poland to invade them, and Poland is a NATO country, so U.S. would respond. Maybe someone should look at a map of Europe before discussing foreign policy?
Well you could invade Finland through Poland, you’d just have to take the long route.
The Soviets tried to ethnically cleanse the Baltics by importing a bunch of ethnic Russians. No wonder the Baltics hate their Russian minorities.
You’d think if anyone in the world knows what is terrifying it might be the #1 horror author of the last century, but apparently not.

Yeah, not sure I’m buying that number.
If they’re going to lie about the numbers, I’d rather they do it in that direction.
Primitive superstition strikes again
The Department of the Interior is moving forward with plans to remove a name the department declared to be derogatory from federal lands.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland formed a task force and declared the word “squaw” derogatory in November 2021. Now, the department is seeking public comment on name replacements for the more than 660 geographic features that contain the word.
Historically, the term has been used as “an offensive ethnic, racial, and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women,” the department noted. The term originated from the Algonquian word for “woman,” but its meanings has been skewed for centuries by white people.
The task force, dubbed the Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force, also moved to replace the word with “sq_ _ _” in official communications.
“Words matter, particularly in our work to make our nation’s public lands and waters accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds,” Haaland said. “Consideration of these replacements is a big step forward in our efforts to remove derogatory terms whose expiration dates are long overdue.”
Conjure words are nothing to trifle with.
“an offensive ethnic, racial, and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women,”
White Squaw, aka Liz of the Fauxhicans, has a sad.
Oh for fuck’s sake.
Never change, Democrats.
A bunch of school-board Marxists just got canned in SF of all places because they wasted time on shit like this. Sadly, the people don’t have the power to recall a bunch of wastrels in the Interior Department.
Putin didn’t invade Ukraine while Trump was in office cuz Trump was in Putin’s pocket.
Team blue talking points are ridiculous.
This.

That’s the most coherent argument for how Trump was doing Putin’s bidding.
Of course, not mentioned is that Trump was supposedly undermining NATO because he, you know, wanted Germany and the rest of Europe to spend more on their own defense as NATO actually requires.
The glory of NATO is, there’s no force multiplier in cost. The less you invest, the greater the return. Science!
Obviously it would have made Trump look bad and Putin didn’t want that so he waited for Biden who he knew was going to win despite his trying to help Trump. If Putin was half as competent as our media likes to pretend he is he’d be God and Russia would be Heaven and no other country would stand a chance.
Shit, if Putin was that good, I’d emigrate to Russia. Instead, my Glorious Leader is The Hair That Walks Like A Man™.
Farg.
Hell, Trump was simultaneously playing 4D chess and a buffoon.
Beat that.
Start with the conclusion, beat facts in evidence into submission.
Or perhaps, just spitballing here, maybe it was at least partially because low oil and gas prices didn’t give Putin the resources he needed to mount such an operation. Just thinking aloud here.
Got a phone call from CDC NATL IMMUN. My phone flagged it as spam. If not for a risk of talking to spammers I’d be very happy and willing to tell them that I am not “vaccinated” and never will be.
“Throughout this process, broad engagement with Tribes, stakeholders and the general public will help us advance our goals of equity and inclusion,” Haaland said.
In strict accordance with native tradition.
Blink twice if you need to be rescued, Deb. We know Biden commanded this gibberish of every bureaucracy.

Already got my card! (Quite swanky-looking, actually — oughta confuse some Karens I run into at the local Safeway . . . )
Took about a week, BTW — comes from the UK.
It’s a trap!
JK. Upon closer inspection it looks like it might be of value.

Commie rat fuckers.
Keep backing that dog into a corner…
There’s gonna be a lot of unintended consequences of invoking the Emergencies Act and scape-goating these people. Canada’s rapidly becoming a much more suspicious, frightened, angry and vengeful country, and it’s all because of our fucking pols. Between COVID bullshit and this crap, too many people I know have just Had. It.
It’s gonna take a generation at least to heal these wounds, and it won’t be entirely successful.
The world is rapidly becoming a much more suspicious, frightened, angry and vengeful planet.
And at least half of its inhabitants are cheering it on.
Vax control group? Nice.

I would, and I hope this isn’t prurient, pay cash money to peek her in her underwear. Maybe tens of dollars.
There are nudes of her out there.
She looks better than I thought she would have. Apparently she got her tits done?
The Armored Skeptic apparently leaked the photos after their break-up? See, a Firster doesn’t pull that kind of shit.
Read the latest SF and comments… there’s a new guy posting here, Compelled Speechless.
That sums up that nightmare dump.
All the eldrich horror porn, gruesome puss-filled orifices, nightmare children whelped into the world by corrupt wombs, supping (or meant to have supped) off one of several leathery, wizened nipples sprouted from horror-story simulacrums of national politicians, that’s alright. I’d eat breakfast off those stories.
What SF described today actually sickened me. I’m now imagining Bush Senior macking on Ron’s confused, upset face. Bill and Bush trading was stories and loads.
I’m honored to have my contributions be recognized. My teachers always told me I have a gift for innuendo. I have to yield to SF, he’s still the master.

DeSantis pokes fun at Psaki
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made fun of White House Press Sec. Jen Psaki in a video on National Margarita Day to criticize the massive increases in prices and inflation brought on by the Biden administration’s policies.
As Biden directs his attention towards a conflict some 5,000 miles away from problems in the United States, the Florida governor took a jab at Psaki, referencing a January video in which she advised Americans to simply “have a margarita” instead of thinking about the problems occurring all around them.
“My advice to everyone out there who is frustrated, sad, angry, pissed off, feel those emotions, go to a kickboxing class, have a margarita, do whatever you need to do this weekend, and then wake up on Monday morning, we’ve got to keep fighting,” Psaki said in a video.
I can only imagine the hysteria if one of Trump’s blonds had told people pissed off about the direction of the country to go drink a margarita to calm down.
Castro’s boy suddenly figured out there is no emergency
The comments on that website seem to indicate that Trudeau would get elected again.
Is cbc.ca pretty much the equivalent of NPR?
NPR wishes. IIRC the CBC is 100% funded by the Canadian government.
So completely objective and free of any corrupting influence from the unwashed merchant class. Enlightened in other words.
The Ceeb’s audience share of nightly news in Canada hovers south of 2%. People who watch CBC unironically are basically tankies for the Liberals, and yes, if it were up to them, Trudeau would be re-elected forever. He’s got such great hair, after all.
He got word from the government rep in the Senate that the prospects for a Yea vote on the Emergencies Act were grim. In addition, the banks have been Shouting Down A Phone at him and Cabinet because people are closing their accounts at Canadian banks at a record pace, including some big U.S. depositors who’ve figured out that their deposits are not safe. Hair-boy’s also rumoured to be taking a bit of a shellacking from his own backbenchers, with some saying he’s reaping what he sowed during the last election. Right now, it’s all about face-saving and damage control.
It’s not a victory. It’s the start of a long, cold civil war. And it’s mostly Trudeau’s fault.
Russia declared war on Ukraine. Within 6 minutes, reports of Ukrainian military infrastructure being hit. Massive communications outages.
Reports of russian airborne troops trying to capture the airport in capital of Kiev. Reports of amphib attack on Odessa.
Images of huge explosions in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and Maripul.
This is what happens when tyrants cant get their way. they attack the innocent to enslave them.
Get ready for China to attack Taiwan and North Korea make a move into south Korea.
