There's a lot to that Burisma story. Biden bragging on TV that he threatened to pull $1B in loan guarantees from Ukraine if they didn't fire their top prosecutor. Biden stating on TV on more than 1 occasion: "I didn't know that Hunter was working at Burisma. I had no knowledge of it." He even got mad at reporters while he was saying it, as if it was an affront to democracy itself to question honest Joe Biden. Hunter said the same thing. Somehow the world was supposed to believe that Hunter got a $30K/mo job and didn't even mention it to his dad. Then a picture came out of Joe, Hunter and Devon Archer golfing together from back when Hunter worked at Burisma, and Joe and Hunter both had to admit that they had blatantly lied, and Joe actually did know about Hunter's lucrative job. Long story short, Hunter didn't speak the language, he never worked in the oil and gas industry, and while his dad was leading the US's efforts to clean up corruption in Ukraine, and Burisma's CEO was being investigated for corruption, that CEO hired Hunter and gave him barrels full of loot, and then Joe Biden unleashed the mother of all quid pro quos on Ukraine to get them to fire Ukraine's top prosecutor "and put a guy in his place that was solid". Coincidentally, a guy who never lifted a finger to investigate Burisma. Leftsists in unison: "I don't see nothin'." China was the same. Joe and Hunter flew to China together on Air Force 2 when Joe was VPOTUS. Joe "thought that Hunter was just doing some tourist stuff." Hunter was wheeling and dealing into the billions of dollars. https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chinese-titan-lavished-hunter-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of-30-million/ Leftsists in unison: "I don't see nothin'."

I just googled it. PET and a buddy theoretically did it as a prank. Maybe Justin really is his son: dressing up in blackface is one of his favourite things.

Do you have any pictures of that?

I totally forget that Pierre used to ride around in Europe with a swastika on his motorcycle.

I heard mention of a rally in Vancouver on the news the other day but I was too busy to go today. Hopefully it stays peceful, if they have it. I know that a lot of people are really angry about the fact that soem of the money that was sent to the truckers might end up going to 'charities'. AFAIK, people can claim the money back, and the rest goes to charities.

Deaths among people under 40 are extremely rare. Deaths among healthy people under 40 are one of the unlikeliest outcomes of all. Almost 2/3 of our deaths are among the 4% of the population over 80 yrs old. Something like 98.4% of our deaths are among people over 30. Right now we know that there are some serious short-term effects from the vaccine but we know nothing about possible long-term effects. That's why it should be a choice for young people. The jab offers almost no meaningful protection and comes with risks. That's not true at all either. There are therapeutics which are as successful or even better than the jab. In Uttar Pradesh in India, when they were going through the delta wave, they gave out Vit's C & D, Zinc and Ivermectin and covid went down drastically. https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/columnists/indias-ivermectin-blackout---part-v-the-secret-revealed/article_9a37d9a8-1fb2-11ec-a94b-47343582647b.html Hatred of Iverectin remains strong among liberals, but it's dirt cheap compared to the vaccines, and big pharma's influence over the people who are pushing the jabs on us shouldn't be underestimated. One of our daughters is a teacher. She got fully vaccinated and then gave us all covid. She was sick just as long as we were. She still hasn't had kids yet, and she has lost her period since she vaxed although she's not pregnant. It has only been 3 months since her last shot, but it's still a bit disconcerting right now.

Wow. Watching that protest really puts the words of our village idiot into context. Here's his actual quote: WTF???? The abject stupidity and disinformation in Trudeau's comments is absurd and revolting. BLM riots were famous for hateful rhetoric and violence towards fellow citizens, not to mention billions of dollars in damages. This is an example of the group that doesn't "express hateful rhetoric" according to our village idiot. Note that this "peaceful protest" happened just a few hours after a deputy in Texas was murdered in cold blood: That's not their only chant, they did that and many others. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-monsters-who-screamed-for-dead-cops Trudeau is openly supporting the group that chanted: "WHAT DO WE WANT?" - "DEAD COPS!" - "WHEN DO WE WANT IT?" - "NOW!", and "PIGS IN A BLANKET, FRY 'EM LIKE BACON!" Their violent rhetoric is clearly responsible for contributing to the murders of several police officers. But apparently that meets Trudeau's lofty standards. Trudeau is a stupid, ethically challenged, power-hungry hatemonger who has no business running a democratic country.

Some people prefer their protests to have arson, looting, assaults against citizens and cops, and the occasional murder.

What's the point of you guys having these huge ignore lists, yet you can still see each other's posts? I'm pretty sure that you're doing it wrong.

Was there actually a guy with a nazi flag at the convoy? Do you have a link? An MSM newscast that I watched here showed a swastika at the rally, for about 1/4 of a second, but it had Trudeau's face in it. It clearly wasn't being used to show support of naziism, it was used to draw attention to Trudeau's fascist tendencies, but our MSM just mentioned "There was a swastika there!" and used that comment to fit within their propaganda campaign. I'm 100% sure that the guy with the confederate flag was there in support of the liberals, not in support of the convoy, much in the same way that The Lincoln Project sent some guys with tiki torches to stand by Youngkin's campaign bus. There was a FB meme going around that showed pictures of confederate flag boy right beside Trudeau's own photographer, who is obviously a key member of his propaganda org.

The young man that we know who suffered 12 hrs of paralysis is in the Canadian navy. He had longer lasting symptoms as well, but I don't think that he took the Moderna/Pfizer vax. It was J&J or Astrazenica iirc (I haven't talked to him since he joined, his mom told us all of this).

Vaxed deaths under 30 were basically nothing here from Jan 2020 thru June of 2021, the first month when there was a significant amount of dbl-vaxed people here. Vaccinations among the 5-30 crowd don't do much in the way of saving lives. The rate goes from negligible to negligible. Except maybe in the juvenile type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes demographic. This article says that 30-40% of the people who are hospitalized have diabetes, and if you Google it you'll see that only about 10% of the population of the US has diabetes, so they're having severe reactions 3-4x as often as healthier people do.

I didn't find the stat for the whole country, but the state by state numbers are in a link in the OP. Some are as high as 39%, some are under 24%. There are 35 states with a BMI above 30%. Safe to say that it's much higher than 30%. Oddly enough the obesity rate in Hawaii is only 24%. I wonder of the number of military personnel is the reason for that, because the last time I was in Hawaii (about 1989), I saw a crazy amount of HUUUUUUUUUUGE people there. Like, BMI 50+.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1228632/number-covid-deaths-canada-by-age/ In Canada 61% of covid deaths occurred in people over 80 yrs of age. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/ In the US only 51.4% of covid deaths occurred among people over 75 years of age. (For some reason Statista breaks down the age categories in our countries differently) This is the first time that I ever noticed this huge difference. We have 10% more of our Canadian deaths among those 80 and up than the US has among 75 and up. Over such a huge sample size in two countries that are so similar, I expected the stats to be a lot closer. Or almost the same. What do you think is the main cause of this? The first two things that spring to my mind are: 1) obesity (BMI over 30%) rates among Americans is 5-10% higher, which adds a lot of younger people into covid's target demographic. https://www.statista.com/statistics/378988/us-obesity-rate-by-state/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/748339/share-of-canadians-overweight-or-obese-based-on-bmi/ If there was a stat for morbidly obese it would probably tip the scales even further towards the US. 2) maybe 'covid deaths' are counted differently here. Canada covid death counter: https://www.cpsbc.ca/news/publications/college-connector/volume-8-no-2-mar-apr-2020 So, in Canada, anyone who had covid even just be a minor contributor to their death is listed as death by covid. I couldn't find a quick summary for the US. I only looked for a couple minutes, but I'm done. I think I recently heard a quote that anyone who tested positive in the last 30 days counts as a covid death, but don't quote me on that. I'm not sure. f

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113068/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-place-of-death-us/ 8% of covid deaths occurred at home in the US. That's nothing. Especially when you consider that most of the people who died of covid were old enough to die in their sleep anyways.

He made a good point. In the world's biggest pandemics people died in their homes en masse. With covid, which has only a pandemic of the octogenarians to this point, there was enough hospital capacity for everyone who was sick to get a hospital bed.

I knew that the gofundme wasn't going to work right from the beginning. This isn't the first conservative cause that they've dropped. I suspect that gfm will give everyone refunds, but right now there are media outlets like NPost, Rebel News and Fox saying that some of the money will be given to charities instead of being refunded. This is most likely to get the truckers riled, hoping to get them to commit some of the acts that they've already been accused of.

Exactly. Kids in grade 3 think that they know what they wanna be when they grow up but a lot changes in 9 years. No kids at that age truly understand long-term goals or consequences. Give them the chance to eat Fruit Loops or broccoli and they'll all choose Fruit Loops. Give them a chance to play video games or read a book and they'll all play Fortnite. When they think that they can change to be a man/woman, they think that they're gonna be able to have kids and be a dad/mom. That's not the case. They'll give up their chance to be a biological parent and have a family before they're old enough to even remotely understand the full consequences of their actions. People are changing through every stage of their life. I've heard it said many a time that most people don't truly become their own person until they're 30. At 8? Forget it. Even at 18 most people aren't mature enough to make that kind of choice.

How did this end up in the trucker convoy thread. Do they have a mobile surgical hospital with them? SWEEET! I was a huge M*A*S*H fan.

On Tucker the other day they were talking about the reading comprehension levels of students at one of the schools in Baltimore, where only 12 out of the 680+ were reading at their own grade level, and there were over 200 kids who were reading at K, 1 & 2 levels. I think grade 10 is the first grade in HS in most parts of the US but I'm not sure. Anyways, I was mostly into sports when I was a kid, I didn't read a lot of books - J.R.R. Tolkien etc when I was in elementary - but that was enough to be reading at a college level when I was in grade 5. What kind of an excuse is there for the majority of kids in a HS being unable to read? It's not all on the schools imo. It's mainly a parental/cultural thing imo. The reason that I'm mentioning it is this: the low literacy level means that maybe the 12 kids in that HS who were able to read at their own grade level would be able to watch CNN or read NYT and realize when they were being lied to. The ones who are only reading at a K-2 level would never have a clue. They'll never find their own sources for statistics or actual information on the internet, and even if they did they'd never be able to make sense of it anyways. That school is churning out lifelong Democrats: low-income, low-info voters with a chip on their shoulder, who are all gullible enough to get sucked into a riot.

It depends who you're talking to. Leftist women think that there was a bigger lie than Russian collusion, as if that's possible, unless the moon really is made of cheese. Leftist men just found out that size actually does matter, and they're mortified.

I can only write things, I can't understand them for you. Too. Even your fellow snipe hunters know that what you just wrote there was stupid. It's not my job to tell you why.

As long as the MSM keeps telling people that "almost all of the scandals were just cutesy misunderstandings" and "EVERYONE ELSE IS RACIST!" Trudeau can sit back and relax. Honestly, how could a PM be unseated when the MSM is blowing sunshine up his arse 24/7? We have Kim Jung Un with nicer hair.

Are you serious? The reference to blindness isn't literal. The saying applies to any group of similarly disadvantaged people. Just keep in mind that in the land of Dems, the crooked guy with dementia is king, and in the land of the Liberals, the dumb, ethically challenged hate-monger is king. Trump is a towering intellectual with impeccable integrity compared to those two.

You're lying, again. That's not what I said at all. Conservatives still have to make a point, they just have to take extreme care to frame it so that the MSM is limited in how much they can lie about it. That's just childish gibberish. Try again.
