Quick Bits

I kept putting off covering the huge ruling by the Canadian supreme court last week, which called Castreau's fascist measures to punish speech he didn't like unconstitutional.

I missed that, but will try to make up for it by quoting Spiked's Tom Slater on the Rise of the Liberal Strongman.

Justin Trudeau and the Rise of the Liberal Strongman

His crackdown on the truckers heralded a new era of 'centrist' authoritarianism.

At first, I assumed Justin Trudeau was just a bit tragic. When the dashing Canadian PM rose to power in 2015, the man seemed too cringe to be real. A man who confused virtue-signalling with statesmanship and Tumblr talking points with a political ideology.

I misread that as "a Tumbler account given human form," and will be using that goin forward.

A man who once chided a woman at a public event for using the word 'mankind' ('We like to say peoplekind', he retorted). But as a ruling of the Canadian Federal Court this week reminds us, beneath the colourful socks, woke bromides and disconcertingly long history of blacking up resides a dangerous authoritarian.
Remember the Freedom Convoy? This was the Canadian truckers' revolt against Covid mandates which began two years ago this week...
Trudeau's response, you may recall, was enough to make Xi Jinping proud. He invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history, granting the government sweeping powers to freeze protesters' bank accounts, break up demonstrations, crush crowdfunding efforts and compel tow-truck firms to clear the streets. The crackdown was all the more outrageous given many of the blockades were already in the process of being resolved amicably. Plus, those parked up in Ottawa had been peaceful. They held cookouts, honked horns and danced. Which is why there were remarkably few arrests. Before Trudeau sent the heavies in, that is.
Now, a top Canadian judge has decided that this outrageous clampdown was illegal to boot. Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act has been deemed an infringement on Canada's charter of rights and freedoms. It was 'not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration', the court ruled. All this gives the lie to the government's absurd demonisation of the peaceful, multiracial truckers' protests as a 'dangerous', 'far right' and even 'insurrectionist' movement. Indeed, so many of the claims made to justify the clampdown have turned out to be lies. At a separate inquiry in 2022, police had to admit that claims the truckers were 'armed' amounted to them having tools and tire irons. Not a single trucker was arrested in Ottawa for illegal possession or storage of a firearm, according to the Toronto Sun. While videos on social media showed a family friendly atmosphere, complete with bouncy castles, Trudeau talked darkly of kids being used as 'human shields'. It would be funny if it wasn't so sinister.
Imagine if Donald Trump had done this while he was still in power? There would have been a military coup. He'd probably be locked up right now, in some secretive facility buried miles beneath a mountain -- the sort of place where they keep the Bond villains and the UFOs. And yet because the Western commentariat loves Trudeau and loathes the working classes his trucker crackdown was given a free pass....
For all the talk of populists and their simpleminded working-class voters ushering in a new 1930s, we now see where the true threat to liberty comes from. And not just in Canada. Indeed, we've seen the rise of what we might call liberal strongmen -- sorry, strongpeople -- right across the Western world. From the unhinged Covid authoritarianism of New Zealand under Jacinda Ardern to Emmanuel Macron's brutalising of the gilets jaunes to Joe Biden's banana republic to the speech-policing, women's-rights-shredding rule of Nicola Sturgeon, all of the 'centrist' darlings of our age have turned out to be itching to shut up, lock up and even beat up their own citizens. Particularly citizens with the chutzpah to stand up for their rights and their livelihoods.

Read the whole thing. Yes, the left is authoritarian and increasingly brazen and open about it. They view all disagreement with them as illegitimate and therefore illegal, and are quite ready to use government force to extinguish their enemies.

And speaking of Macron's brutalization of the gilets jaunes -- French farmers are blockading Paris with their own truckers' convoy.

Macron will crush them as Castreau crushed his inconvenient dissidents.

Kurt Zindulka at Breitbart:

Calls for revolution are in the air of France once again as farmers have vowed to continue their tractor protests against the globalist green agenda with a planned blockade of Paris after rejecting "concessions" from the government.
After a week of shutting down motorways across the country, forcing politicians of all stripes to come to meet them on their turf, the farmer uprising is set to descend upon the French capital as they were unimpressed by the compromises proposed by newly-installed Prime Minister Gabriel Attall.
With their demands not being met, farmers have decided to ramp up the pressure on the metropolitan liberal elites who vote for green agenda policies without feeling the consequences and allowing the rural population to suffer.
What is being dubbed as the "siege of Paris", farmers are planning on shutting down at least seven critical entry points to the city and have hinted at enacting a blockade of the Rungis Market, the second largest wholesale food market in the world which serves as the main hub for food deliveries into Paris.
"The idea is that there are no trucks that can serve the capital, to ensure that no product enters Paris, to make Parisians understand that they need farmers to live. I say to our friends in the capital region: it's going to be a long week," the head of the Young Farmers Union Maxime Buizard said per Le Figaro.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the horrible racist, homophobic MAGA attack on Jussie Smollett by two Nigerian brothers he paid money to.

As Dan Rather used to say: "Courage."

The Film Actors Guild, for some reason, has weighed in on the Arrec Balwin manslaughter charges.

[F]AG-AFTRA is standing by Alec Baldwin after he was charged Thursday with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust."
The guild slammed the charges against him, calling it "wrong and uninformed."
"The death of Halyna Hutchins is a tragedy, and all the more so because of its preventable nature. It is not a failure of duty or a criminal act on the part of any performer," [F]AG-AFTRA said in a statement.

"The prosecutor's contention that an actor has a duty to ensure the functional and mechanical operation of a firearm on a production set is wrong and uninformed. An actor's job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert."

Really? How strange. Actors routinely present themselves on experts in all fields. But not this one, huh...?

So I guess actors'll stop pontificating about gun control, huh? After all, [F]AG says they're not experts in weapons safety.

...
Baldwin's attorney called the charges a "terrible miscarriage of justice" in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Yeah, just like Andrei Sakarov.

Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge: Biden's lying; he needs no congressional authority to close the border. He can do that now -- he just refuses to do so unless the Republicans give him open-borders concessions.

As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border - but only if if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month.
"If that bill were the law today I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here," Biden said, according to Fox News' Chad Pergram.
Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn't need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now.
As we noted yesterday, House Speaker Mike Johnson debunked the claim, saying "President Biden falsely claimed yesterday he needs Congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border, but he knows that is untrue."
"As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since, he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created," Johnson continued.

Black Chicago Democrats want the city to end its "sanctuary city" status.

Government employee Cata Truss told "Fox News @ Night" Democrat voters like her are growing increasingly frustrated with the party's handling of the issue.
"There is no moneys to take care of the migrants, nor is there moneys to take care of the people that are there. And so we have a mess on our hands," Truss said Wednesday.
Truss argued Windy City residents are upset over low income communities and schools being "divested in" while funds are used for the care of migrants instead.
"This is the sentiment from the city of Chicago: We would like to have our status as a sanctuary city removed," she said. "We would also like to see a better plan in place."

Snopes reflexively claimed a picture showing Biden wearing a hardhat backwards was "false."

The black strap across this retard's forehead is supposed to go at the back of your head.

Question: The guy giving the thumb's up has a sh**-eating grin. Did all of these guys know that Joe Biden had retardedly put the hardhat on backwards, but let him take the picture anyway?

I say "Yes."

Under pressure and mounting embarrassment, Snopes were forced to stop banging the other members of the Snopes polycule and do the actual fact-check -- they render their partisan judgment first, then later get around to actually checking the facts -- and admitted the the photo was real and the hardhat was on backwards.

38 One of the best parts of the Biden hardhat photo is he's been responsible for OSHA regulations for 40 years and is now the big boss in charge.

Without the slightest idea of even how a hat works. Literally the most simple safety requirement there is, and he - a lifelong government employee - doesn't understand how it works or how to use it.

You put it on your head, and it's extremely uncomfortable when it's wrong.

And the government employee in charge of making every affected employee in the US can't figure it out.

93 Might'z well repost here-- I missed the Lankford thread earlier, so here's what I might've commented there.

For U.S. Senator from Oklahoma
2014 Jun 10 [link in nic to mindfulwebworks.com]

...Those unfamiliar with Oklahoma politics should be aware that the winner of the Oklahoma Republican primary will almost certainly become our Senator in this overwhelmingly Republican state.

The candidates are T.W. Shannon and James Lankford.

...First thing you want to know about selling your candidate is, get Shannon's photographer. Here are the head shots of the candidates, clipped from the front of each flier...

...There's something off about the shape of Lankford's head, his eyes, his jaw, but it's hard to tell because the photo is so ill-lit, grainy, and washed out — or, who knows what kind of distortion his photo went through to end up looking like this.

And Shannon, honestly, he looks kind-of like a goofy kid, with his oval face and ears sticking out. Shannon has a genuine, if slightly goofy, smile. Lankford's ghostly visage is unfortunately for him like a waxwork or zombie....

Shannon was endorsed by Levin and by Palin.

It's because they're not backwards. The brim might be at the rear (or there might not be one) but it's not being worn backwards. The suspension system is in place.

183 Shop that inspired 'Toy Story' is closing, citing 'perils' of San Francisco. The shop “has been struggling for a number of years,” the family’s attorney, Ken Sterling, said in a statement, citing “perils and violence of the downtown environment, inflation, the decrease in consumer spending and the demise of retail across the world.”

Will someone be coming along to claim this is just an excuse by a profit hungry business?

The "perils" of San Francisco is a RW talking point. Online sales, especially from Amazon, certainly had more to do with the demise of this business than anything specific to SF.

San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any US city. It's population is about 13% compared to 22% nationwide. Plus, the demand for physical toys is sadly dropping thanks to electronic devices, video games, etc. Add in the shift from retail to online sales and I'm surprised the store lasted as long as it did.

the pandemic really hurt so much of downtown businesses. Too bad they won’t open on West Portal avenue or Stonestown mall where a lot of families with children live on that side of SF.

Slurry is a polite term for liquefied cow shit. Large cattle operations can only dispose of the manure from their animals in the spring (before the crop is planted) and the fall (after the crop is harvested and before the ground freezes.) Between those times one method is to store it in a slurry. A big tank usually holding several million gallons. It is kept liquid and stirred/circulated then pumped into "honey wagons" and injected into the soil. While us country fucks will tell you it smells like money most people say the smell is horrendous.

227 Snopes has never been a polycule, and what a man and his newly hired editor/dominatrix do without their wife finding out because she is a frigid b*tch is their own businesses.

I LOL’d. Some of us remember Snopes back when Barb was editing, when it was actually good. They’ve been coasting on the reputation she built for years now.

228 For all you city folks...
Slurry is a polite term for liquefied cow shit. Large cattle operations can only dispose of the manure from their animals in the spring (before the crop is planted) and the fall (after the crop is harvested and before the ground freezes.) Between those times one method is to store it in a slurry. A big tank usually holding several million gallons. It is kept liquid and stirred/circulated then pumped into "honey wagons" and injected into the soil. While us country fucks will tell you it smells like money most people say the smell is horrendous.

Well, perhaps, but a slurry is just particulate in suspension in water, like muddy water or even grainer. When I worked in a dishroom the brand motto of the "Soap" that fuelled a commercial dishwasher was "The Slurry with a Fringe on Top" which I thought amusing

Chicken waste is the worst we get around here. Cow and pig stuff is bad, but not as eye-watering. I hate "knifing" days in the spring-the farmers "knife" the fields with chicken manure, and unfortunately for our noses, it works well.

There's no way to defend Donna. I don't care how good Keith was, Donna was a net negative.

232 I heard they'd kick her off set when they were shooting the empty whickey pint bottles they just had for lunch.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at January 29, 2024 07:33 PM (cOq4q)

I heard of that, too, except not that she was excluded. If so, and she was even marginally competent she should have walked off. Quite a few workers there did exactly that even before the shooting.

233 Arrec Baldwin was not just an actor on this set, he was a producer and the one who hired the prop gun manager.
Posted by: pookysgirl

And repeatedly skipped mandatory gun safety briefings and classes. And who didn't require safety reviews after multiple previous firearm incidents on set (as a Producer). And who allowed the unscheduled scene to be run while the armored was unaware and not present.

234 Mortgage + taxes + homeowners insurance + auto insurance + health insurance + utilities ~ $3k/mo. for me.

Groceries and kids clothes and things are incredibly expensive these days. I'm probably not quite at 6k/mo but it can't be a whole lot less..

The press release a group put out kinda let the cat out of the bad. But god save our Intelligence Corps.

Since this is about the forty-third similar attack in the last few years they should have all the ducks in a row. Stupid to blame Hezbollah, since that puts the ball back on the borders of Israel where they shouldn't want it.

...and pointed the gun at the director and pulled the trigger, not at anywhere the scene told him to.

240 My uncles dairy farm had 2 4,000,000 gallon cow shit holders. They ran 4 fire hose pumps attached to John Deere tractors daily in them keeping the shit stired.

If you want to know what real work is go try and run a dairy with 350 head.

That sounds like "all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation" to me. I believe nothing those liars say.

242 Alec Baldwin, what to say ..... I think it's true that it wasn't his strict job to check the gun, however, since actors are all experts and I assume they have taken a firearm course and have a license (some States require a person to have a firearm license in order to go to a range and shoot or hold a firearm) they should know that one NEVER points a gun at anyone without the intention of shooting. Also, as a corollary, it's good to assume a weapon is always loaded if it isn't.

(some tongue-in-cheek on my part above re licenses and courses)

245 Chicago:
"This is the sentiment from the city of Chicago: We would like to have our status as a sanctuary city removed," she said. "We would also like to see a better plan in place."

Aha! The 'losing the free bennies' ploy .....
What is this better plan? I bet it involves sending all those ILLEGAL ALIENS to red counties south of you! You voted for the politicians who declared Chismells a sanctuary for criminals so now live with that.

246 I've long thought that leftist's brains had faulty connections that caused much of their delusional 'thinking'. Could it be? The stroke actually broke some of those Fetterman had and led to him becoming a sane man?
