He is worse? You people have no grasp on reality other than hate Trump.

Looking to the future, we’re better off with Asian auto firms here.

Eyeball wants to choose his own arbitrary start date to justify the murders of 1,200 people. Nearly 3x as many people as were killed on Oct 7th as during "the nabka", but eyeball still gives it two thumbs up. Don't forget to say "Happy child-burning day!!!" to eyeball every Oct 7th.

So you're saying you've never seen "Jaws"?

This is not the woman that was rumored to be the pipe bomber a few weeks ago. It sounds like this suspect has been in the FBI's radar for a few minutes.

Once again, you are not interested in peace, only hating Israel and seeing them destroyed.

Only in your mind, I'm retired. With the advent of Hamas things are different, more brutal and more religious. Unless you are prepared to outline how you would negotiate with a brutal regime with hard core religious objectives I really have nothing you. I never get a response to that and for the record, I have no idea how to do it successfully while Hamas is in power. Hamas will never be a partner for peace, they're actually a barrier to achieving it... they will never negotiate legitimate political objectives. You're calling people crazy here so you must have gleaned some insights from those "media accounts,' I'd like to hear how you would approach it.

No, it's 7.58 hours consuming media, which includes listening to music/podcasts while at work or driving, walking the dog, going to the gym, making dinner etc. etc etc. We're not talking about that. We're talking about how much you waste emotionally ranting on a SINGLE FORUM. Chatgpt was given objective data and a question. If you don't like its answer, check Grok: https://grok.com/c/2397b03e-fba6-45d2-b701-0f8f2e959743?rid=64dc20c7-9e3d-4255-bedc-3b67cd1ccc48 Question: What does posting 37000 times on a single political forum in 34 months say about a person? Answer: In short: 37,000 posts in 34 months on one political board almost always means the forum isn’t a hobby; it is their primary social universe, and their life outside it is likely very empty or dysfunctional. It’s the online equivalent of someone who sits at the same bar arguing politics from open to close every single day for three years.

Triple down. No intelligent response call names again. Not even capable of coming up with a 2nd name that's a supposed insult

Yeah but everything you say smells a bit fishy.

Eventually, but not now or next year either. Building the infrastructure will take years. Trump seemed to have limited awareness of this when he took on China. The right approach to the challenge posed by China is to understand it. In nearly every technological area, China is already competing with the US because of the scale of the country and the talent of its people. And this is despite a system that stifles innovation, The crucial edge America has is in offering freedom and rule of law to the world’s most talented innovators, either directly by living there or indirectly through alliances with similar countries. At the moment, Trump seems determined to trash that advantage.

What do you think the families of addicts would say to killing drug runners? Just because the left has successfully created a drug-runner-victim class does not mean it is wrong to kill the people responsible for killing 288 people a day.

That's because your 5-yr old has been witnessing m0r0nic behaviour non-stop from the moment they were born. They know a million ways to say "Mommydad you're embarrassing me again" and they don't even know what the word amazing means yet.

After the hair sniffer and heels up Harris? Yes, Trump is exactly who we need as president of the USA.

Evidence of what?

So pretending a problem has gone away ONLY makes it WORSE. Didn't your mother teach you that?

Absolutely everything eyeball wrote is FALSE. We did not know how many children were dying from the jab and we still do not know. We are finding out now and it will take years before the full extent of the damage is known. Eyeball, you are repeating false information from the beginning of the covid fiasco and you refuse to accept any new information or data. This was an EXPERIMENTAL injection with EXPERIMENTAL non-medical interventions. Why do you not understand that? As the data comes out, we will learn more and more. Yet, you are firm in refusing to accept the results of all this experimentation. I get it - you cheerled and demonized all through this. It looks really bad for you. You will either need to humble yourself and accept that you were manipulated into the mass hysteria for nothing and that it caused much unnecessary death or you can cling to all the unscientific measures that were HOPED for at the beginning. I doubt you will move forward. You supported killing children for adults and that - in almost every culture and almost every time period throughout history - has been morally unacceptable. It's why you disgust me.

Well, I don't have an account on Musks pile of shite, but explain to me how Canadians NOT using the free pass costs the gov't $200 million.

Meh...Hegseth is safe. This development is nothing more than hypocrisy and the Dumbocrats virtue signaling.

In the past, I at least tried to take liberals and their politics with a sense of humor, but now it is getting to the point where liberals are more than content with killing people and burning down the country for their sick ideologies. I'm taking them deadly serious now. We saw their jovial reaction to the healthcare CEO getting shot in the back. But BUT BUT....he ripped people off. They defended the trans Christian school shooter. Oppressed They laughed at the the two attempts on Trump. Not dead yet? They laughed even harder when Charlie Kirk got blown away by some trans loving sicko. They could care less about the narco gangs infiltrating American towns and cities. They could care less about the violent & unvetted they allowed in. They laughed at four years of lawfare. I don't support political violence now, and I never will in the future. But sooner or later the radical left is going to face a serious reckoning. It's coming. I just hope that my family, friends, and myself aren't stuck anywhere near the violence when it all goes down.

You get the most flak when you are over the target.

No, I point to it as an act of terrorism - to people who accuse the victims of being terrorists. Recent history and living memory. Deir Yassin was a profoundly evil and galvanizing event, enough that it moved Einstein to refer to it as a seminal moment that would result in catastrophe for Jews everywhere.

You tilt at that windmill @User. Donkey-ho-tee away!

Because it is not a valid treatment. People that undergo the surgery have the same or higher instances of depression and suicide with the added benefit of becoming sterile and the health problems that arise from the hormone treatments. Further, people that need that treatment ARE NOT mentally healthy and can not be relied upon in combat. Guns and bullets is just a place holder for all things lethal. I know guard units forgo flight training frequently because gas isnt available. We are short on bullets And missiles

Hey MH, you know something that i don't know?

Eyeball's brothers don't see it that way: "Oct. 7 is proof that we are almost free. Long live Oct. 7, long live the resistance, long live the intifada, long live every form of resistance."

This in a nutshell. This event is not justified by any other event in history. This is when this war started, and the people who started it had EVERY opportunity to decide to choose peace, and reach out and build a peaceful future for both sides and while it wouldn't happen in an instant, the israelis would have welcomed it and as trust was built a new age of prosperity could have been achieved by gaza. Instead they chose murder and dealth for the israeli civies they killed, followed by the death and displacement of god knows how many of their own people as they sheltered behind them. And i can only guess what kind of future they'll have now as their "country" is in rubble.

Doncha love it when people cme right out to reveal their level of ignorance and think they're insulting you? Grampa told me once in High School that if Tommy Douglas had made ExLax free, there'd be no more Conservatives

The war started over 80 years ago. It hardly rated a blip. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Correct, we were a part of Britains Empire. Correct there was no more excuse than the attack at Deir Yassin, no matter how much you think otherwise. Your lack of condemnation for Irgun and Lehi says everything that needs to be said about your support for them and the illegal atrocities they committed against men, women and children. It is right-wing religious conservatives, from both sides, that are preventing peace. Your entire shtick is based on justifying Zionist terrorists and their brutal murder of innnocent civilians.

Are we the ones who gave them AIDS? Last time I checked it came FROM Africa.

it is treating the issues, not placating them. Still doesn't explain why it disturbs you. Who says it does? If you think it is a real problem, you have swallowed a load of shit. You've been conned. Who are you to decide whether medical treatment is necessary or not? You really have swallowed the Kool-Aid, haven't you?

Are Lockdowns Effective in Managing Pandemics? - PMC This was a good study because it examined the cost/benefit analysis of lockdowns, which was NOT done during covid. You're a fuquing ****** if you still support this. We can never let them do this to us again. All you braindead lemmings - you cheered while governments killed more children than covid ever would have. And you let them do it for MONEY. The following research questions have been formulated: What has been known about lockdowns’ effectiveness in saving/prolonging life in previous pandemics; what is the COVID-19 evidence regarding lockdowns’ effectiveness in saving/prolonging life; which factors determine the human cost of lockdowns—side-effects that shorten life; how can the human cost of lockdowns be estimated based on economical parameters; what is the quantitative estimation for lockdowns’ human cost? Finally, we tried to understand how decision-making was actually performed. The Spanish Flu was one of the deadliest pandemics in centuries, and for sure the most lethal of well-documented pandemics [9]. The highest mortality was detected among the 20–40 years age group [10] and so caused sizable demographic damage—unlike COVID-19. This being said, there was no panic then and the response was mainly based on common sense—see references in sect. II.2 of the Collection [4]. The leaders generally presumed reasonable and rational behavior of the citizens: e.g., quarantine practices were almost exclusively voluntary. Closure of the non-entertainment business was out of discussion [11]. School closure was discussed but often rejected due to the obvious outcome: children’s bands roaming in dirty streets could boost the infection spread more than gathering in supervised and relatively clean schools [12]. The effectiveness of various closures has not been proven. It should be mentioned that the same conclusions—no clear benefit of lockdowns in case of pandemic—were made by national and international bodies before COVID-19 emerged. Namely, several governments prepared detailed plans of response to influenza-like pandemics years ago—see the programs of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (2007) [16], Israeli Ministry of Health (2007) [17] and more references in sect. II.4 of the Collection [4]. Israel probably had the most elaborate plan which relied on the unique experience of civil-military partnership (ref. II.4.4 in the Collection [4]). Noteworthy, the World Health Organization (WHO) published its comprehensive 91-page preparedness plan [6] in October 2019! All these response plans mentioned lockdowns, if at all, as a means of last resort only. The WHO document, for example, explicitly mentioned that: social distancing measures “can be highly disruptive” and should be carefully weighted travel-related measures are “unlikely to be successful”; “border closures may be considered only by small island nations in severe pandemics” contact tracing and quarantine of exposed individuals are not recommended in any circumstances. All the above plans were abandoned without any serious discussion at the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis: The authors failed to find a single mention of these plans in publications of national health ministries in either country. Lockdowns, border closures, contact tracing, and quarantines became the main instruments. Numerous deaths can be attributed to the interruption of normal social life and routine regular social interactions. The direct factors are [25,26]: increased mortality due to postponement of diagnoses and routine treatments increase in mortality due to non-arrival at hospitals increase in mortality due to a decrease in the level of income and as a result—use of less safe cars, reduction in the scope of physical activity, etc. “deaths of despair” caused by drugs, alcohol, and suicide following loss of social-economic status increase in violence, including domestic violence; dismantling of families severe health damage to the elderly in particular—physical and mental deterioration (usually irreversible) due to loneliness, lack of movement, and routine supportive care. Since increased income led to life extension, it is logical to conclude that lost income means lost lives. Corresponding references can be found in sect. I.3 of the Collection [4]. Therefore, any decision potentially harmful to personal income should be scrutinized, and decision-makers should not ignore the loss of life caused by loss of income and corresponding loss of socioeconomic status and self-respect [31,32]. Accepting certain or very probable death for money is morally unacceptable. Another comparison can be made if we remember that the average age of people dying of COVID-19 was around 80, with 3–6 QALY per death lost. Therefore, 500,000 QALY are equivalent to roughly 100,000 COVID-19 deaths. Even if we assume that lockdowns saved 1.5 daily deaths per million [20] for a whole year (365 days), after multiplying by 9.2 million (population of Israel) we arrive at about 5000 lives saved—just about 5% of the lockdowns’ human cost. In other words, it can be estimated that even if the lockdowns saved some lives, in the long term they killed 20 times more. As mentioned above, the prepared response plans, both national and international, were abandoned without any serious discussion at the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. The actual response consisted of instruments that had been considered ineffective and counter-productive. The extent of human life loss has probably never been calculated and has never been taken into consideration in the decision-making process. One of the first reports recommending strict lockdowns (26 March 2020) explicitly stated [42]: “we do not consider the wider social and economic costs of suppression, which will be high”. Anyhow, societies have never been informed about these considerations and calculations. The implemented policy relied on compulsion instead of compassion and private initiative (with very few exemptions). The governments ignored alternative ways to protect groups at risk—see Sect. V.3 of the Collection [4]. The forecasts which were chosen for political decision-making systematically overestimated the COVID-19 threat, supporting excessive measures—see references in sect. III.1. of the Collection [4]. Political leaders and government officials systematically “instilled fear in the population, thereby contributing to the making of mass hysteria” [43]. The evidence-based approach was actually abandoned, as blatantly reasoned in the pro-lockdown open letter to the UK Chief Medical Officers [44]: “Whilst it is always helpful to have more data and more evidence, we caution that in this complex and fast-moving pandemic, certainty is likely to remain elusive. ‘Facts’ will be differently valued and differently interpreted by different experts and different interest groups. A research finding that is declared ‘best evidence’ or ‘robust evidence’ by one expert will be considered marginal or flawed by another expert.” Lockdowns were still imposed during the subsequent waves (autumn/winter 2020/21 and 2021/22, to say nothing about the 2022 spring lockdowns in PRC [45]) as if they had been proven effective—despite the above-mentioned evidence. Not surprised. He's completely unmoved by dead children and has stated repeatedly that he would support every last bit of it again.

Sounds like you are not admitting to the truth and making up your own narrative. All the facts have been presented about the many problems with the health care system, but you deny them. You have lost all credibility.

Why do fishermen need 50 gallon drums with cocaine in them?

There's truth in that but tariffs are actually more than a tax. If they were just a tax, we'd call them a tax and there are such things as import taxes which are different from tariffs. Tariffs are designed to specifically restrict the flow of trade. It's not just about wanting customers to pay more for a product it's about wanting people to buy less of a product. There are several reasons why a country might consider this. Personally I agree with Reagan that tariffs wind up doing more harm than good in the long run. But trump obviously believes that he will create more jobs and more economy at home by restricting trade with other countries. He's betting that wages and opportunity goes up more than the cost increase due to tariffs. We'll have to see if that's true.

Carney is markedly different from JT in policy terms. Some Liberals on the left of the party would probably feel more at home in the NDP or Greens these days but will they jump? And how keen are the Tories on facing the public? We’re in uncharted territory as a nation, trying to find a new role in the world as America turns away from us. Party politics seems a little petty in such circumstances.

By ridiculing your objective and observable lack of anything going on in your life beyond pounding furiously on your keyboard? OKAY!? 🙃 Your post count is objective evidence of your failure in life. 🤣 You can project and lash out all you want, but this paints on objective, measurable picture: That's almost 1100 posts a month, or roughly 36 posts a day. 🤣 From this, we can estimate a minimum amount for the time you've wasted desperately seeking attention and relevance here: FROM CHAT GPT: Allowing for 8 hours of sleep per day, that means you've spent roughly 22% of your waking hours puking all over this forum since you joined. How much of your free time did that take up, I wonder, when we account for activities required just for keeping yourself alive? Let's ask chatgpt again: YIKES! Should we ask chatgpt if this is healthy??? TLDR: You really need to touch grass (or snow).

Fantasy of yours? Again, quote where I said anything like that. Oh, wait: you can't. As usual you just make sh!t up and ascribe thoughts to others to make yourself sound good. (It ain't working). Did CdnFoxnetwork mentor you?

Grippen is swedish for griffin big guy The name Gripen comes from the word Griffin in English and represents a mythical creature that has the face, beak, claws and wings of an eagle and the body o LOL what was that again about being familiar with what you're talking about?

Trump is now just desperately lashing out at everything trying to distract from MULTIPLE SCANDALS and it's NOT WORKING, so he grows ever MORE DESPERATE.

As usual, you contribute nothing but clueless hot takes and bullshitting, followed by endless and fragile emotional ranting. Go outside. Spending all day every day insulting and raging at people on the internet is not good for you. This is a mental health crisis playing out in real-time:

But i'm not I'm rubbing your nose in it. Which means you're wrong again

No, I'm talking about you. Go read it again.

SMRs would be a better idea than windmills and mirrors. But why are you so intent on denying the west prosperity? Deregulate oil, gas, mining, farming...allow the economy to fully recover from all the damage done the last decade. Then talk about SMRs. Hell we could do both at the same time. But allowing oil and gas to operate would produce almost immediate returns for the entire nation. Canada is over regulated. 15 years for a cross town LRT in Toronto. 2 to 3 years to build a house. We choke ourselves and brag to the world what good citizens we are. It's all nonsense.

Not bad, flyboy. The other day you gave me 14 down arrows. You must have plenty of time on your hands, eh flyboy? I have had to buy more charts to keep up with all of those down arrows that you keep giving me, eh, comrade troll? 🤣

Our obligations are not just NATO but the UN as well. Hence, "hot spots around the world"
