Hearing the name Bobby Orr always brings back great memories. He has always been a class act from day one.It takes a lot of courage for anyone to voice their support for Donald Trump but even more so for celebrities. We all know what kind of vicious backlash is now going to be directed at Orr but kudos to him for standing up!

Tucker's enemies were busy denigrating him over this...only to have UPS suddenly find the missing flash drive...sans packaging as mentioned. A wee bit o' egg on the face...or have they been hanging with Hunter Biden? Could be some other substance.

No, not at all. Calling the 2020 protests "mostly peaceful" isn't slanting. It's a lie. Almost 20 people were killed. Most protests were peaceful til 10 pm, but then most of them were violent riots. Where the riots weren't violent is where there was a sufficient police presence to deter it - IE in Republican controlled cities. There was also a lot of violence related to BLM outside of the protest areas. Protests were actually "widespread with an atrocious level of violence, destruction and theft". The policy of letting rioters out of jail to contribute to the rioting the next night was also a complete disaster which the MSM intentionally ignored. That's not a slant, that's the MSM contributing to the destruction of lives and property and it's lying by ommission. Allowing people to say things like "police are committing genocide against blacks" isn't slanted. It's a destructive and dangerous lie. The hyperbole around Russian collusion wasn't just slanted, it was a lie. All tolled probably 10,000 lies. No one has ever been convicted of a crime that has anything to do with "colluding with Russians to affect the outcome of the election" but the claim is often made that they were. Millions of people are still quite confused, that's because of thoroughly dishonest reporting. An example of that is people saying that Manafort is in jail for collusion. He is actually in jail solely because off tax fraud from the mid '90s. There's literally a 0.00% chance that his conviction for tax fraud has anything to do with Russian collusion in 2016. Calling Michael Brown a "Gentle Giant" for 6 months during rioting wasn't a slant. It was a lie. He was violent towards two different people who didn't physically provoke him, in the last few minutes before he was killed. The MSM has told several atrocious lies about Trump over the last 4 years such as: "Trump referred to immigrants as animals". That's not slanted. It's a lie. Saying "Trump put kids in cages" and showing pictures of kids that Obama put in cages wasn't a slant, it was a lie. To this day we still haven't even seen if kids still get put in those types of cages. There are liars, damned liars, and CNN. If you watch that station you will miss a lot of relevant news and see mostly lies.

This is what can happen when people stop to consider Trump's actual accomplishments for blacks since 2016 and tune out the hateful rhetoric coming from his opponents. Not much happened under Obama's leadership that was positive for African Americans in comparison to Trump. More Americans of all races collecting some form of government entitlements was certainly not beneficial during Obama's 8 years. It was in no way helpful to try and get more and more people dependent on government but we all know the real purpose was keep them supporting the Democrats. Under Trump,prison reform and record low levels of unemployment for blacks and latinos prior to Covid. I think he'll get back to those levels quickly if he's re-elected . Don't forget about manufacturing jobs actually coming back under Trump as well. https://www.independentsentinel.com/welfare-increased-41-under-obama/ https://cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/obama-was-first-president-spend-more-welfare-defense Biden has said some really offensive things about blacks and gotten a pass from the media. "He's gonna put y'all back in chains....,well,I tell you what,if you have a problem figuring out if you're for me or Trump,then you ain't black! "

The thing I found the most questionable is that they threw the envelope away. Honestly UPS had a chance to be honest, professional & helpful and they blew it by being dodgy, lying and then hiding the evidence of what happened.

The tragedy of the commons, when people cut down the trees in the shire to heat their homes decimating the forest... applies now to a party that wants to burn down the public faith in liberal ideas, in democracy and so on so they can add points to their own voting total. Politics needs to returned to its proper place as a serious pursuit, or it will evaporate and be replaced by dogmatism. And the next generation could easily just decide to outlaw conservatism so their strategy is short sighted.

Interesting thought. Just as Lebanon was a nation utterly divided, so too is the US becoming. It's people are separating into different groups, moving away from each other both physically and emotionally. Half or almost half of younger Republicans and Democrats say they wouldn't even be willing to date someone from the other side. Lebanonization is a term used to describe a country when politics, tribalism, national divisions, ethnic and sectarian tensions, ideological and cultural wars, and foreign meddling become so unmanageable they leave a country ungovernable. Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times brilliantly put it this way.”The United States is becoming like Lebanon and other Middle East countries in two respects. First, our political differences are becoming so deep that our two parties now resemble religious sects in a zero-sum contest for power. They call theirs ‘Shiites and Sunnis and Maronites’ or ‘Israelis and Palestinians.’ We call ours ‘Democrats and Republicans,’ but ours now behave just like rival tribes who believe they must rule or die. Second, as in the Middle East, so increasingly in America: Everything is now politics – even the climate, even energy, even face masks in a pandemic.” https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/nasrallah-the-lebanonization-of-america-is-well-underway

Indeed....some Canadians are really worked up over this...now saying Orr was just an uneducated, mediocre player. They have no problem with "uneducated" Lebron James endorsing Joe Biden, and other "celebrities" using their platform for social and political ideology. But not Bobby Orr, or Jack Nicklaus, or Brett Favre...no, their speech and speech rights must be condemned. https://people.com/sports/jack-nicklaus-endorses-donald-trump-for-president/ Bobby Orr statue outside "The Gahhhden". I suspect this statue will soon be vandalized if not pulled down by the rabid left.

I can't adequately summarize it. It's not behind a paywall as far as I can tell. Stories behind a paywall have a key under them and this doesn't. You must have been looking at too many stories in the Globe so it's shut you out. If you use firefox, like I do, it deletes all those cookies every time you close. That's how I'm able to read papers like the Citizen and Post every day without paying. Other browsers probably allow you to do the same thing.

I caught a bit...in the middle of vehicle purchase. Yes...stunning numbers. Meanwhile...Bobby Orr has joined the Trump train. Put out ads to that effect. TDS infected hockey fans immediately give him the Lil Wayne treatment. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/united-states-election-endorsement-bobby-orr-donald-trump-1.5783723

The fact that someone at UPS, on purpose or accidentally intercepted that flash drive, gives it's contents even more credibility! But it dulls the impact of whatever it revealed...

Is this thread about the origin of WWI? The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, unstable empires, dangerous alliances...that stuff?

@DogOnPorch, did you catch the Waterford Michigan rally? Holy Smokes. What a crowd. And over 300,000 watching it on RBSN.

You can take the boy (or girl) out of China, but you will NEVER take China out of the boy (or girl).

100% agreed. That's why, vote Trump!

Gotcha. I don't tend to watch things too often, for my own protection.

I was watching a discussion between Douglas Murray and Dennis Prager. I think Murray made a really relevant point when he talked about the failure of education. Most people, especially younger people, have almost no knowledge of history. They've barely heard of the Holocaust, know little or nothing about Communist abuses and murders, and nothing going beyond that. They have almost no understanding that the West has been living in the world's golden age for the last fifty or sixty years, a time unparalleled in human history. They have never experienced fear or want or violent societal upheaval and can't imagine doing so. They seem to think this is the normal way the world works, a blank canvas to which you can add other things. Yet the history of humanity is one of brutality, starvation, mass death from epidemics and poverty. If you looked at all of humanity through all the ages of history probably 99.999% lived out their short lives in utter poverty by our present standards. They had no human rights, to speak of, and no real way of improving their (short) lives. People don't seem aware of that, don't seem aware of how fragile the civilization in which they live is and how easily it can be shattered. They also don't seem to be aware of how lucky they are to be living in the West, how few places on Earth share the freedom they take for granted. And we're not just talking about ignorant young rabble here. The universities are absolutely teeming with left wingers who sneer at and look down on western civilization. They denounce it for its minor flaws and demand massive, poorly thought-out changes based on an absurd affection for socialism, Marxism and some collectivist utopia which is always just beyond the horizon. And they utterly ignore that everyone who ever reached for it sent their society into a downward spiral which led to massive death, poverty and misery.

If you watched the video.... it was a flash drive, and it was backed up before they sent it. There were probably things on the flash drive that Tucker wanted to talk to Bobolinski about so that he could verify them, expand on what they meant or flesh out the stories around them, etc.

Germany was unable to carry on with the collapse in the fall of 1918. The myth of the "stab in the back" grew out of a dinner conversation between Ludendorff and a British officer after the armistice. The British officer asked Ludendorff why Germany surrendered when it did. Ludendorff struggled to come up with a face saving explanation and the Brit offered something like "Were you stabbed in the back?" Ludendorff siezed on the phrase and the myth was born. The reality was Germany was broke and could no longer provide for the civil population. Mutinies and riots broke out and civil authority began to crumble. Hindinburg and Ludendorf decided that an Armistice before the allies crossed into Germany was preferable to total defeat. They saw the armistice as a pause while the allies saw it as a surrender. However, Germany collapsed at that point. During the latter part of the war, the emphasis was on support for the troops at the expence of the civil population. That led to the bewilderment of the troops at the front who could not understand why the generals surrendered. They had no idea what conditions were like back home. Defeat in war carries serious psychological consequences for the losers. It is emasculating. That leads to an unwillingness to face the reality that you were overwhelmed by superior force or tactics and the need to find a scapegoat, whether it is the jews, the generals or the democrats. Churchill was the one who recognized this problem and in 1945, he and General Marshall settled on a plan. "In defeat, resolution; in victory, magnanimy." They rebuilt the enemy nations rather than punish them. One more bit of trivia before I have my coffee. There is a myth that Germans flocked to the colours at the outbreak in 1914. The famous photo of the crowd in which Hitler was spotted years later was doctored. Hitler was ther, but the crowd wasn't that large. Many Germans were not happy with going to war. Life was pretty good at the time and a war wasn't viewed as a good idea.

Times change...right?

What documents? Nobody made a copy? Scan them into pdf's and send by email? Who the hell prints on paper anymore.

No, by vassal state I mean military and economic dependency, 50% of corporate and manufacturing base ownership, 80% of internet traffic routing, and media dominance, including social media platforms. Canada is already divided (e.g Quebec), and turns to America for these common denominators.

Prove a negative.

Too late for that....Canada is already a U.S. vassal state, and Quebec would want its own circle anyway.

One party wants to burn down "faith in liberal ideas", while another party wants to just burn things down. If that is what you people call progress then yeah, I want to burn down those ideas.

Big news! Trump gets another Black high profile endorsement.

I know, get back to making baseless predictions, lest they prove their point! lol

I'm interested in these Biden Crime Family documents that disappeared. The ones that were sent to Tucker via UPS so I'll be watching the show to see if any copies turn up. Oh...hang on a sec. Gotta read this one: UPS found Tucker Carlson's documents relating to Biden that vanished in system

I do have an interest in this Biden family pay to play operation. I know I won't see anything about on MSNBC,CNN etc so I'll just tune in to Tucker now to learn more.

Another Canadian politician (Don Plett) comes out for Trump.

I say it again then. I think the rallies are a good indication of what's going to happen on Tuesday. How's that for a prediction.

Slowing the mail down...slower than it already is...how? Do you imagine Air Force One sweeping in low and scooping-up the mail lady on her route?

I guess Army Guy was born in a millionaire family. When he was a kid, he used to go to toy stores with dad every boxing day. When he piled all sorts of toy tanks, fighter jets, warships, missiles, nukes....into his shopping cart, he never needed to worry about answering questions from dad why he needed these toys and on what he planned to use them.?
