Elwood P. Dowd : Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

This is really impressive - methane and methanol made from C02 extracted from air and H2 via electrolysis, all powered by cheap solar.

One of the things I learned was that Medicare Advantage has Step plans for MANY indications! In effect, your Dr doesn't have control over how you are treated! The insurance company does. Don't want this.... choose Medicare Part B/D and MediGap. It is more expensive than Medicare Advantage, but at least your Dr has control over how you are treated.... Funny how none of these Medicare Advantage commercials never tell you this.

Amazing what nationalized healthcare evolves into when the economy no longer can sustain real medical care. Fun facts: Whites (non-racialized groups!) make up 86% of Canadians >65yo, 70-75% age 40-64, and 55-65% <40. MAiD “recipients” are 95.6% Caucasian per 2024 report.
BREAKING: M.A.I.D. now part of DNR Orders(Do Not Resusitate) with Bill C-41... Massive outrage as Canada’s highly controversial medical updates spark absolute horror over patient safeguards. Critics are calling it an unhinged dystopia after proposals emerged that could blur the lines between standard medical care and state-sponsored life-ending procedures. Under the guise of "advanced directives," critics warn the system is opening a terrifying backdoor that effectively lets medical institutions decide if and when to end a citizen's life. Slipping lethal execution protocols into a patient’s medical chart—collapsing the line between a standard Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order and an active push for medical assistance in dying (MAID)—is a localized death sentence. Giving hospitals the bureaucratic authority to decide when someone's "quality of life" has expired is an unspeakable violation of human rights. Bill C-41 is turning hospitals from places of healing into execution chambers. This is absolute insanity. #Canada #MAID #C41 #BreakingNews #DNR #AssistedDying

Noam Chomsky, the "Father of modern linguistics," looked at evidence of industrial-scale murder and decided the real problem was Western media bias. By 1977, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge had already killed roughly 1.7 million Cambodians through execution, forced starvation, and slave labor. Chomsky, writing with Edward Herman in "Distortions at Fourth Hand," treated survivor testimony and refugee accounts as State Department fabrications, preferring the far lower body counts published in sympathetic leftist sources. The intellectual gymnastics required to reach that conclusion were extraordinary. Chomsky dismissed Father Ponchaud's firsthand reporting, questioned Francois Ponchaud's credibility directly, and leaned on a 1977 State Department document to suggest deaths numbered in the thousands, not hundreds of thousands. He applied maximum skepticism to anti-communist sources and near-zero skepticism to anything that cut against American foreign policy narratives. The methodology was selective to the point of being fraudulent. Chomsky was not a fringe figure typing in a basement. He held an MIT professorship and commanded enormous intellectual authority among Western leftists. When he cast doubt on Cambodian atrocity reports, journalists and academics listened. Real people died while influential intellectuals debated whether their deaths were sufficiently well-sourced. Collectivist ideology requires enemies to function. When the Khmer Rouge built their agrarian utopia by emptying Phnom Penh at gunpoint and executing anyone wearing glasses, Chomsky's instinct was to protect the ideological project by attacking the messengers. Ideology over corpses.

Mr. Micawber was right: “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”
File this under “Bankruptcy Due to Unforeseen Circumstances”.

Scottish gambler John Law was born in Edinburgh in 1671, the son of a goldsmith banker. His father died when he was a boy, and Law grew up to trade his inheritance for the card tables of London. In 1694, he killed a man named Edward Wilson in a duel, received a death sentence, and broke out of prison to flee to the Continent. He spent the next two decades gambling across Europe and studying banks. Scotland rejected his plan to fund the country with paper money. France said yes. Louis XIV died in 1715 and left the crown buried in debt, and in 1716 the Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, let Law open a bank that issued notes. Law then folded Louisiana trade, tax collection, and the royal mint into the Mississippi Company and sold shares on promises of colonial riches that nobody had found. To keep buyers coming, the bank printed notes. Shares climbed from about 500 livres in 1719 to about 10,000 by early 1720, and the word "millionaire" entered the language. Then the state enforced the fiction. After converting to Catholicism, Law became Controller General of Finances, banned most payments in gold and silver, and made it a crime to hold coin above a small sum. Citizens who wanted out of paper lost the right to leave. When holders rushed to cash in, the bank had printed far more notes than it held in coin. In May 1720, the government decreed a cut in the value of notes and shares, panic forced a reversal within a week, and crowds fought in the rue Quincampoix. Law lost his post that spring and fled France in December. He died broke in Venice in 1729. The recipe never changes: print to fund the favored project, lock the exits, and punish anyone who tries to leave with their savings.

Europe used to have a GDP 90% of America. Now it's 65% & heading to 50%. The US is about 1.6× higher on a per-person basis than Canada. That used to be 1.4x just a decade ago. Nearly every country is falling behind the USA.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns Europe is falling dangerously behind America economically… and blames anti-business, anti-investment, and anti-innovation policies. 🇺🇸🇪🇺 “If you don’t believe me, go to Europe, folks. Europe used to have a GDP per person of 90% of America’s. It’s now 65%. It’s on its way to 50%. That will jeopardize the health of Europe itself over time. And it’s all anti-business, anti-investment, anti-innovation. They kind of know it. If they don’t fix it—and we should help them fix it, because Europe matters—it’s really bad for the Western world, too. We should do it wisely.” Europe shift over the past three decades has proven decimating for their economy. Aging population forces mass immigration in order to maintain adequate growth. Crazy regulation and bureaucracy slows innovation and investment… forcing the economy further down. At the same time, the United States has pulled ahead exponentially and will continue to do so. Europe is struggling.

Execution is too good for these animals.
These are the clothes of a Swedish girl who was raped for hours by Syrian migrants at gunpoint. Court documents reveal that a gun was likely inserted into her vagina.

This is the Hillary Clinton I know. As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill. Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it. But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone. From the very first day in my assignment. When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me. “You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out.” I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications. I learned very quickly that the administration’s day-to-day character, whether inside or outside of DC, depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary. Her reputation preceded her. We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was “Schindler’s List.” In my first few days on the job, and remember I essentially lived there, I realized there were different rules for Hillary. She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us. We were instructed that “whenever Mrs. Clinton is moving through the halls, be as inconspicuous as possible.” She did not want to see “staff” and be forced to “interact” with anyone. No matter their position in the building. Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight. I’d hear whispering, “She’s coming, she’s coming!” I could be walking down a West Wing hallway, midday, busier than hell, people doing the administration’s work whether in the press office, medical unit, wherever. She’d walk in and they’d scatter. She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble. I wasn’t a kid, I was a professional officer and pilot. I said “I’m not doing that.” There was also a period of time when she attempted to ban military uniforms in the White House. It was the reelection year of 1996, and she was trying to craft the narrative that the military was not a priority in the Clinton administration. As a military aide, carrying the football, and working closely with the Secret Service, I objected to that. It simply wasn’t a matter of her political agenda; it was national security. If the balloon went up, the Secret Service would need to find me as quickly as possible. Seconds matter. Finding the aide in military uniform made complete sense. Besides, what commander in chief wouldn’t want to advertise his leadership and command? She finally relented because the Secret Service weighed in. The Clintons are corrupt beyond words. Hillary is evil, vindictive, and profane. Hillary is a bitch.
Barf. I know you both. Hardly. 🤣🤣🤣 The stories I’ve told…and the stories I could tell. 🤔

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Bobby Kennedy is dropping HARD TRUTHS about the REAL "genocide" in the Middle East, and it's not Palestine: "What happened to the Christians? There were millions and millions of Christians. Those were all Christian countries. Egypt was a Christian country. Libya was a Christian country. Algeria was a Christian country. Iraq was a Christian country. Lebanon was a Christian country in 1948." "The Christians have been expelled." "THESE are genocides, and they have a genocide that is envisioned in some of the chartered documents. It's in the lectures of the imams. It's in the sermons!" RFK dropped similar stats about Jewish populations in the region. Nearly 900K Jews were driven out of Arab nations after 1948, Iraq's ancient Christian community was decimated by over 80%, and Lebanon went from a Christian-majority nation to a fester for Hezbollah The media refuses to acknowledge THAT. Yet today, people like Abdul El Sayed think AMERICA is the evil one for trying to prevent Iran's Islamists from getting a NUKE Look what their own playbook orders them to do! Trump did the right thing 🇺🇸
