  1. The old Bill Clinton move? I could be wrong, but I think the typical voter in Israel is too sophisticated for that. The reason for a possible levelling of the playing field is the nuclear reason. And Iran has a lot of confidence these days, don’t they? Or at least this latest attack by Hamas would suggest so.
  2. People in the know have been expecting Israel to, uh, level the playing field for about a year now. Netanyahu knows that Iran is behind this, they are probably hunkering down right now, awaiting the response.
  3. Another week and another bankruptcy. https://www.the-sun.com/money/9218328/bankrupt-airlines-western-global-iaero-sas/ THREE major airlines have faced bankruptcy deadlines in the past month following years of turbulence in the travel industry. Western Global, iAero, and SAS had major deadlines in their bankruptcy proceedings in September. ... "All three airlines reported losing hundreds of millions of dollars while operating through the pandemic. Airlines generally struggled through 2020 and 2021 as pandemic lockdowns, lower travel rates, and worker shortages created headwinds throughout the industry.Some companies faced struggles in 2022 with increasingly inclement weather - particularly Southwest Airlines.But the industry has largely recovered from the period with high travel rates, increased ticket prices, and new worker's agreements." I'm not surprised, quite frankly. After a pandemic with forced lockdowns across the globe, with many restrictions hanging on way too long as things returned to normal, yeah, there was going to be carnage in the airline industry. And I'm sure that cruise liners, and tourism industries across the globe have suffered greatly under the pandemic. So what does the WHO and the WEF want(and just how is it that these unelected bureaucrats have any power over Canada?), now that everyone is carrying antibodies for C-19 as we head into another wave? More restrictions and jabs for everyone, of course. Hey, they will probably resume interest rate hikes as well. I wish I was making this up.
  4. Yeah, wow!! He’s such a dumb guy!!!
  5. We all know that if this story about cocaine on a plane was about Trump, there would be a massive circle jerk on the left. The mainstream news organizations would drop whatever they are covering and go with this rumour 24/7. But since it’s about Trudeau…crickets. And notice the right is not forming a circle. This is a one page thread, and it’s half full of you leftwingers.
  6. It’s funny how the left has so little interest in questioning what their side does. In this case, why was Feinstein still working when she had clearly lost the mental capacity to do so well before 90 years of age! https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/29/congress/judiciary-replacement-senate-feinstein-gop-00119065 Typically when a seat is vacant there is no fight about allowing vacant committee seats to be filled. Committee appointments are often done by unanimous consent. If any Republicans were to object to a UC request, Democrats would need 60 votes to appoint a senator to fill Feinstein’s role on the Judiciary panel, meaning at least 10 Republicans would need to vote in favor of filling Democrats’ majority on the panel, assuming they move to do so before someone is appointed to the California Senate seat. As usual, it looks like the political considerations took priority over the woman’s health.
  7. Rriiiiight. The left in this very thread, including you, make all kinds of snide comments when a conservative passes. Shall we check the comments of you lefties when Limbaugh passed? Hypocrites.
  8. Come on folks, rub your 2 brain cells together. It’s obvious to anyone who can think critically that Trudeau is in the middle of a tit for tat pissing contest with one of the largest countries in the world. Now, ask yourself, are all of these things mere coincidences? Trudeau’s plane is stuck in India for 2 days. He gets home and immediately accuses the Indian government of a crime on Canadian soil. Then India responds with a drug accusation. Can you see the big picture here?
  9. You would be surprised. After all, a guy that loves dressing up in foreign garb when abroad, wears brown face and then lectures his voters about racism? And now this nazi business. What an i-d-I-o-t. So his plane is grounded for 2 days in India because it’s, get this, broken down. Trudeau gets back home and immediately starts a crusade against the Indian government for murdering a Canadian on our soil. Next comes the Nazi outrage. Now India releases news about Trudeau having a cocaine fueled holiday. Let’s see if this story has legs. I half expect India to release video evidence(through back channels of course) of Trudeau stumbling around the hallways of his hotel and harassing hotel guests in a drugged stupor, now that his wife left him.
  10. Joe will never make it to the starting line in 2024. Your media sources are hiding his increasingly confused speech, his trips and slips and his impeachment proceedings. Are you ready to cheer for Kamala?
  11. Donald Trump in a recent speech: “In my second term, which we’re sorta’ having now,”
  12. And here’s a newish study on the impact EV cars and green energy are having: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12545855/Devastating-transition-green-energy-metal-mining-23-million-people-toxic-waste-rivers-polluted-farmland.html The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, as well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers have been contaminated by mining's toxic byproducts seeping into the water. This metal mining includes many so-called 'rare earth elements' essential to the manufacture of high-tech electronics, solar cells, wind turbines and all the batteries needed to store sustainable 'green' energy.
  13. There are some things that are changing. The industry that makes all of the weapons is making out like bandits. The elite in Ukraine are lining their bank accounts from the billions being sent over in “aid”. So are certain elitists in the US, through kickbacks and the like. Then there are the dozens of nations whose various immigration programs are being bled dry by 100,000’s of Ukrainian immigrants and the Syrians before them, etc.
  14. I couldn’t have hoped for a better response. Quoted for the jaw dropping impact. Thank you for this!
  15. You are doing EXACTLY what you accuse me of, you hypocrite. Hopefully any investments you have are in the hands of banking/investing professionals because your instincts are bush league.
  16. And so it begins. An Aussie bank publicly announces it will be scrapping over-the-counter-cash-transactions in 2024. https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/macquarie-bank-announces-shock-move-to-scrap-cash-in-all-branches/news-story/da5ee045eb5470adcd038a8481cb98e4?amp As well as scrapping over-the-counter cash transactions, Macquarie will also stop accepting payments via telephone banking from May next year. The move means customers wishing to withdraw or deposit cash will only be able to do so via an ATM. News of the decision was met with dismay by some businesses, who said it was “inevitable” other banks would go down the same path as Macquarie.
  17. I see, cheato is Trump. But you forgot about the other food, mango, that you seemed to be using as a person. Who’s mango? I think this would be a good time for a news story, that I just happened to come across. The thing is, it’s bad news for you, so I suppose I should ask if you are sitting down. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/troubles-biden-age-reelection-campaign-poll/story?id=103436611 President Joe Biden's job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for handling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they've become worse off under his presidency The story also mentions that Trump leads Biden in a head to head poll 51-42. Now I understand your angst.
  18. Finding a news story with google does not mean anything. When you can finally start to use critical thinking you will understand this.
  19. Hey, who are these people you seem to be referring to using foods? I don’t get it, but I’m suddenly snacky…
  20. https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/elon-musk-unveils-shocking-reasons-behind-global-shift-away-from-the-us-dollar-to-bitcoin-btc/ Terming the development a serious issue, Musk gave his reason for the ditching of the dollar as the US policy being too heavy-handed, encouraging countries to ditch the dollar. In a separate post, the entrepreneur added that this is combined with excess government spending. This, in his view, forces other countries to absorb a significant part of its inflation. … an intergovernmental organization of ten Southeast Asian countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam announced plans to ditch the US Dollar and put forward their local currencies for global trade. Also in the article it mentions BRICS, these economic alliances are shifting away from using the US dollar. This will impact USD, it’s just a question of when. This, coupled with the US economy stalling, high interest rates and national debt of 33 trillion needing to be serviced, points to a very rough winter.
  21. Speaking of JT. Wasn’t he just over in India for the G20? Why did he pop off in parliament with his accusations, like that did any good…it looked like an attempt to make headlines for some unknown reason. Its just another distraction, this barking-like-a-seal about something that few Canadians were worrying about this summer. He obviously should have handled this while his plane was being repaired. Which reminds me, the broken down jet of a PM. That whole thing is weirder than weird. It wouldn’t surprise me if the two news stories were somehow related.
  22. The reason both parties generally support the Ukraine war is something called the uni-party. American politics, like many other nations, do a lot of play acting for the masses.
