Trumps mysterious devotion to the psychopath, Netanyahu, his historical disdain for arms control, his recent changes to US nuclear doctrine that make it easier to use "low-yield" battlefield nukes, his deteriorating mental condition, his narcissism and his repeated thinly veiled allusions to using nuclear weapons on Iran should concern everyone. Berating Tucker for expressing concerns can be described as nothing but obtuse.
So confident of your response that you turn off replies?🙄Please recount for us when Trump made any effort beyond paying lip service to eliminate nuclear weapons.
Here's what he did do:
1. Withdrew from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019.
2. Withdrew from the Open Skies Treaty in November 2020.
3. Took no measures to secure an extension of START so it expired in February 2021, immediately after he left office.
You have to give this guy credit for being willing to stand up in front of the media and state such crystal clear bald-faced bullshit right into the camera. When someone goes to the hospital with a gunshot wound, having evidence linking him to a specific crime is not necessary. The patient should not have been discharged until the police understood how he was wounded, by whom and who owned the weapon. It should have been obvious even to these gumshoes that being shot in the shoulder means that the gun was fired by someone else.
BC leftists are in meltdown after the Conservative election win. Their hysteria and emotional incontinence is extremely cultish.

Will Trump nuke Iran or provide cover for Israel to do so? It seems as though nothing is impossible at this point.
Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

Every word of this. Living here isn't enough when you're shackled by fear of tribunals and speaking your mind.
Fiscal conservatism is nowhere near enough. Too many in caucus are Liberals who anointed themselves Conservatives to keep their jobs.
Hold them accountable. 🚨
Of course the aspiring concentration camp guard loves to see the gender mutilation cult ideology blasted at kids in public schools. It's just "being nice" after all. 🙄

Thrilling news! Now that all files are in, we have the complete Diaries of Anthony Fauci, in three volumes, fully indexed, 500 pages each, beautifully typeset. These are the unedited files straight from his personal computer, the strangest autobiography ever published. amazon.com/dp/B0HPCRYH24?bin…

The OPP monitored and surveilled active/retired police officers for their political views during COVID lockdowns.
A Dec. 30, 2020 Project ARDEN report — written for the OPP’s COVID team and “stakeholders” — found no threat to the vaccine rollout. Theft or sabotage was VERY LOW, and there were no links to criminal activity.
What they actually feared was that the officers would lend credibility and legitimacy to people who opposed the Government's overreach during the pandemic—and despite not having any evidence, they were ordered to continue monitoring officers, networks, and anyone “who has demonstrated opposition to COVID-related public health measures.”
The government department that ordered the OPP to engage in this act of espionage against private citizens is still unknown.
Holy crap! A gunshot wound is not sufficient grounds to hold someone to find out who owned the gun that wounded him? You have a protocol where hospitals must notify you when they see a gunshot wound and you must have known by then that a violent crime had just been committed yet you didn’t make the connection? You clowns make inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock Holmes.
After lots of “hard and diligent” police work we let the suspect leave the hospital because a gunshot wound is not sufficient cause to suspect that the man may have been involved in a crime. FFS, that’s why they have a protocol where hospitals notify them when they see a gunshot wound. And they had to have known by then that a violent crime had occurred.
This is BEYOND outrageous!
The suspect who has been identified in the home invasion and shooting in Toronto Canada was apparently SHOT in the altercation by one of the other suspects.
He showed up at the hospital WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE SHOULDER.
And even worse: THE POLICE SHOWED UP AND ENCOUNTERED HIM AT THE HOSPITAL.
He was somehow DISCHARGED and is now on the run.
Listen to this answer from the queen of DEI herself, Kristy Smith.
If this doesn’t get your blood boiling, nothing will.
How are Toronto police not guilty of aiding and abetting a fugitive?
Kristy Smith also needs to be FIRED.
This is an absolute outrage.

Aaron Siri just beat Pharma giant GSK in a groundbreaking lawsuit over its whooping cough vaccine ads.
“It’s the first-ever case that was brought against a vaccine manufacturer.”
“You don’t have total impunity.”
“We beat the big bad wolves.”
Bookmark this.
Here’s how Siri got around Pharma’s immunity from vaccine injury lawsuits to beat GSK:
“In this lawsuit, we alleged false advertising.”
“Which is a different kind of claim.”
“What the data and studies … make clear, in fact, is that if you get the vaccine, you are still just as likely to be infected.”
“Just as likely to spread it.”
“You’re just less likely to have symptoms.”
That means that vaccinated people would actually be “most likely to hold the baby, kiss the baby,” and infect the baby.
“The worst part … is that those who actually had been infected by pertussis and never got vaccinated, then they have sterilizing immunity, at least for many years.”
“They’re not going to get infected again.”
“Those who got the vaccine, they could be infected over and over … again.”
“This was all in our court papers.”
“And you know who said these things?”
“Their own consultants in peer-reviewed studies.”
“They admitted it.”

This is the kind of lunacy that @UBC welcomes with open arms. Unlike with @FrancesWiddows1, if this guy is threatened and assaulted by a crowd and has air horns blasted in his face, campus RCMP will be in there with batons. UBC is a woke shithole.
"Joanna" Harper will be visiting UBC to tell us why men should get to compete in women's sports, even if they can't change sex, retain the advantage of being male, and disadvantage (and creep out) female athletes.
Oh goodie.

STFU Pierre. You're just another liberal war monger posing as a conservative. The Canadian people have no interest in Trump's Iran catastrophe nor the NATO sponsored meat grinder in Ukraine. And if you were paying attention to Trump's plummeting approval ratings and the Republican prospects in next week's election, you would learn that the American people don't care for these wars any more than Canadians do, maybe even less. It's plainly obvious what the majority of the people think of this war and you are 180 degrees out of sync. Who's interests do you represent anyway?
Iran's terrorist regime is suspected of financing gun-for-hire shootings on Canadian soil.
Synagogues, a school, businesses, and the U.S. Consulate targeted.
Jewish Canadians and Iranian dissidents are being terrorized.
We must identify and deport every IRGC operative unlawfully in Canada immediately: conservative.ca/cpc/protect-…
This race-baiting grifter sees a threat to his gravy train and he's not very bright so he will become increasingly unhinged, making his mendacity and corruption even more obvious. If it's to be war then the first thing that Doerkson should do is suspend all payments to our declared enemy and conduct a forensic audit of where the countless billions of taxpayer dollars given to native communities ended up? I'm pretty sure that they didn't end up benefiting the average native on reserve.

Debunking vaccine propaganda.
The @WHO claim that “vaccines have saved 154 million lives globally over 50 years” is the epitome of the corruption of science. Here’s why…
One look at it and you know that the DEI issues strikes close to home. It's time to defund all of the pseudo academic grievance departments. There is zero scholarly value in anything that they produce. They are another burden on taxpayers that we cannot afford.

There were ~44,000 people in the Pfizer trial, 22,000 in each of the control and treatment arms. The study INCLUDED ZERO PREGNANT WOMEN. In the follow-up period 272 women became pregnant. The records of 238 were lost (go figure). Of the remaining 34 pregnancies, only one woman delivered without negative outcomes.
DR. GARY DAVIDSON: A REVIEW THAT RAISED SERIOUS QUESTIONS
What did Alberta’s government-commissioned review of its Covid-19 pandemic response uncover?
Dr. Gary Davidson, former Emergency Department Chief and chair of Alberta’s COVID-19 Pandemic Response Data Review, explains how the review was conducted, what it found, and the recommendations that followed.
Among its recommendations were stronger informed-consent protections and an end to Covid-19 vaccination of healthy children. Dr. Davidson also discusses the recommendation to stop the shots and the personal professional consequences he says he faced after taking a public position on these findings, including losing his university post.
These are important questions about evidence, informed consent, public policy, and accountability.
Listen to Dr. Davidson explain the review and its recommendations.
