The stolen election .
ironstone replied to Colin Norris's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Statistical anomalies in the 2020 Presidential Election | Kiwiblog EXPLOSIVE New Surveillance Footage of Ballot Drop Boxes (rumble.com) The second link shows ballot mules dropping off ballots then taking selfies to prove they were dropped off. Why? And why did this activity occur in the very critical swing states? Nobody has ever how the 2016 election was supposedly stolen by tens of thousands of dollars in Facebook ads paid for by the Russians while a mere four years later the 2020 election was 100% beyond reproach. Despite all of these anomalies I agree that Biden is president until 2024. After one year of Biden as leader of the free world what do we have? Record levels of inflation for Americans, the Taliban are in total control of Afghanistan and better armed than they have ever been, and war has broken out with Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is acting more aggressively now than he ever has before. -

You say there is ZERO evidence of cheating or unusual anomalies and that isn't the case. There are a number of anomalies but you just are adamant that there is not a single one. You also totally dismiss any and all examples mentioned from any source that you don't like. Joe Biden’s lead in the 2020 presidential election tally has come as a result of highly unusual voting patterns. Biden lost 18 of 19 bellwether counties, which predicted the winner of the presidential race every time since 1980. Biden got nearly 12 million more votes than President Obama did in 2008, yet he had fewer votes than Obama in 70.7% of counties (2,228 out of 3,152). Republican House candidates won 27 out of the 27 races that were considered “toss-ups” by the New York Times, and it is extremely rare for an incumbent president to win seats in the house and lose re-election. No presidential incumbent in the past 100 years has increased his vote and lost re-election. No incumbent that has won over 75% of the primary vote (Trump received 94%) has ever lost re-election. Also, sudden increases in votes in the middle of the night in key swing states were found to favor Biden at extraordinarily improbable rates. Some states have more votes than people who voted. This series of highly unusual events raises the possibility — in our view, the probability — that it was not all just a series of coincidences but can instead be explained by fraud that must at least be thoroughly investigated. -
Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
ironstone replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Terence Corcoran: The myth of the $10 EV recharge (msn.com) Today’s $10 EV charge claim is obviously a fiction that buries the real cost through government spending and subsidies. What’s the real cost? My starting guesstimate is around $50 per charge. What would that do to popular conception about the competitiveness of electric vehicles, especially if consumers also had to give up other subsidies? The fake EV cost numbers don’t stop there. There is constant pressure to increase the EV buyer “incentives,” which now range between $5,000 and $13,000 per vehicle depending on the province, to $15,000 nationally. Ottawa is expected to announce an incentive policy in the next budget. Behind the retail façade is an even greater cost-fixing process under constant expansion. Every day brings new subsidies. In Ontario, where Premier Doug Ford has installed himself as CEO of the auto industry, Honda announced a $1.3-billion plant conversion to build hybrid EVs, with $260 million in federal and provincial subsidies. Germany’s BASF and General Motors each announced new electric battery component plants to be built in Bécancour, Que., with a combined value of close to $1 billion. Subsidy deals were not disclosed. -

Hey what's your explanation of #2, Biden vastly outperforming Obama in the number of ballots? That's not bullshit, it's a fact. Joe Biden doesn't have an ounce of charisma, he has difficulty speaking coherently all the time, his memory is faulty at best, he has little to show for 50 years in politics except for the accumulation of wealth. How do you explain this shell of a candidate garnering so many millions of ballots more than the silver tongued Obama? -

Once again, I completely agree with you on the use of nuclear energy. But do you really think Canada will ever build more nuclear reactors with Trudeau as PM? I thought sea levels were rising now, hence people like Al Gore and Obama buy mansions ...next to the sea! Oil and gas won't last forever but where would we be today without them? Would we be living like all the other 3rd world countries? -

It depends on what you mean by being weak on NATO. I understand he may have had questions about the purpose of NATO since the collapse of the Soviet Union but while he was president the US more than lived up to it's funding commitments. Other countries have not, including Canada. That includes Trudeau and Harper too. My opinion counts for nothing but I would disagree with Trump if he felt NATO was obsolete. -

Barbecued? Kind of an exaggeration wouldn't you say? Fossil fuel-driven economic growth over the past 30 years has pushed us to the brink of a global climate catastrophe. If the small amount of warming we have experienced were such a catastrophe, why has everything gotten so much better? Fossil fuel-driven prosperity has cut extreme poverty around the world by nearly two-thirds, allowed us to dramatically increase food production and cut hunger and malnutrition around the world, spread access to electricity to billions of people on every continent, cut child mortality in half, and added 7 years to average life expectancy. If you could have prevented the fossil fuel use at the cost of never having experienced all this progress, would you have done so? “The burning of fossil fuels is destabilizing the very foundations of life on the planet.” (An actual quotation from a recent Canadian newspaper opinion piece.) No, actually the burning of fossil fuels has radically improved the foundations of life on this planet. It has given us safe and inexpensive lighting, heating, cooling, refrigeration, transportation, electricity generation, construction, food production, and just about everything else we depend on for our standard of living. To the extent it has also caused a slight warming of the atmosphere due to CO2, that clearly has not turned the whole thing into a net loss. Weighing the costs and benefits together there is simply no question fossil fuel use has served to benefit humanity greatly. -
Putin Dummying Another Dem President
ironstone replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Doesn't John Bolton have a reputation as a warmonger? I didn't know much about him before his appointment by Trump , and then just about everything I did hear was negative. He and Trump have an axe to grind against one another apparently. Whether or not he wanted to withdraw from NATO I can't say. But during his four years as president he had the opportunity and he didn't act. At the end of the day I think the fact that he pressed NATO allies to pick up the slack was a positive thing for the alliance. -

I think it's more accurate that if you want to win, you have to tell people what they want to hear. That means different speeches for different audiences. It's a pity that most politicians have this same strategy, say whatever it takes to win and to hell with the people after that. -

ironstone replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I think Trump's stance on NATO was reasonable in that he wanted other member nations to live up to the funding commitments. And I think it's also fair to say that the US did carry more than their fair share of the overall burden. -
Putin Dummying Another Dem President
ironstone replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I think when Putin was planning this invasion one of the biggest things to consider was, how is the sitting president going to react? Virtually everyone will agree that Biden is very different from Trump. World leaders both past and present have always sized up and assessed other leaders. It seems pretty naive to suggest Putin didn't consider how Biden, or Trump(if he were still president) was going to react. There are strong leaders and weak leaders. This invasion was not planned overnight and Putin chose his timing very carefully. -

ironstone replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
You keep claiming that it's the Republicans that are firmly on Team Russia. I have yet to hear an answer to this question but I'll try again. Why is it that Putin chose to attack Ukraine now? Why did he choose this timing when Joe Biden is president? Does that not clearly suggest he felt much more comfortable with Biden than Trump? Again, why did Putin do it now? -
I would point out that under Trump the US was a net exporter of energy but now under Biden it's no longer the case. Jobs in the oil and gas industry were high paying jobs. Your claim that more drilling is going on now is highly dubious at best. All the links below say otherwise.

API Explains How Psaki’s ‘9,000 Unused, Approved Drilling Permits’ Is ‘Red Herring’ to Distract from WH Policies | CNSNews “Regulatory uncertainty and political hostility to fossil fuels discourage long-term investments,” The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board agrees, explaining that President Biden’s anti-domestic energy policies have made his the first administration in at least twenty years to go an entire year without selling a single onshore lease. The Biden Administration isn’t just refusing to grant additional leases - it has actually revoked a permit that could bring 830,000 barrels of crude oil daily to the U.S. In a controversial move during his first day in office, Pres. Biden revoked the permit allowing extension of the Keystone XL pipeline to Alberta, Canada. If completed, the pipeline could potentially provide the U.S. with more oil than it currently buys from Russia.

I wouldn't pin 100% of the responsibility of current high prices on Biden but he's doing nothing to alleviate the pain felt at the gas pumps. I am 100% certain that if Trump was still president the prices would not be as high as they are now and that he would encourage more drilling. Why didn't gas prices spike dramatically while Trump was still in the White House? And for the umpteenth time, it's idiotic to have to rely on countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia for oil when the US already has the capacity to be energy independent.

Fact Checkers: Legitimate or Propaganda?
ironstone replied to West's topic in Media and Broadcasting
Twitter’s permanent suspension of President Trump’s account is clearly not about the rules, but an exercise of power over its political opponents. Wednesday’s riots were not the cause, but the excuse used for Big Tech to do what they’ve been wanting to do for years — keep conservatives from speaking on public platforms. -
Fact Checkers: Legitimate or Propaganda?
ironstone replied to West's topic in Media and Broadcasting
Interesting, but I think you're wrong. It's more about being allowed to voice your opinion, even when it's unpopular. Twitter, Facebook and their kind do not allow that. Putin is allowed on Twitter. The Taliban are allowed on Twitter. Ayatollah Khamenei is allowed on Twitter. Xi Jinping is on Twitter. Donald Trump was kicked off Twitter. Inciting violence? How about this? During this summer’s Black Lives Matter demonstrations, politicians, celebrities, and other users praised those taking to the streets in protest. Many also championed the associated riots, which cost livelihoods and at least 30 lives as cities burned. Football player turned activist Colin Kaepernick was vocal in his support for the violent rioting that overtook many American cities. He has been both “glorifying” actual violence and encouraging it to continue. Rather than censor his account in any way, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey donated $3 million to Kaepernick’s organization. -

Nothing that Trudeau has done over the years has dampened support from his fan base. He has little use for ethics, he will not hesitate to insult and disparage anyone that dares to disagree with him. Blackface is perfectly fine too. I don't know if there's any line he won't cross to reach his goals. He is so fortunate to have the full support of the MSM to cover up his mistakes both past and present. What have I left out? Oh yes, groping a female reporter and the non disclosure agreement with a former female student that may be lurking in the shadows. Nothing to see here, move along. Poilievre is the current front runner and he and everyone else running for the leadership is going to face a barrage of attacks from the media. -

Any thoughts as to why conservatives are going to Rumble, Parler and Gab? -
I don't think most new vehicles actually get the advertised mpg or range that the manufacturers claim whether it's an ice or electric. My car is rated at up to 5.7 litres/100km and that's usually what's indicated on the info display but the few times I've checked it myself it averaged 6.4 so the indicated mileage is somewhat optimistic. I just watched a video on Youtube about some guy driving a Tesla a distance of 85km with an initial indicated range of 415km. After arriving at his destination the display indicated that 126 odd km of range was actually used. Now this was in Ireland and the guy explained the charging station issues with electric cars.

Jussie Smollett Sentenced to 150 Days
ironstone replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I wonder if he'll even do the full 150 days. His hoax tied up a huge amount of police resources which were sorely needed elsewhere in that crime-ridden Democratic run city of Chicago. -
An electric car is out of the question for me as I have a 180km daily commute to and from work. The notion of having to add another half hour or more every two days to charge before I even get home won't work. I was car pooling with one other guy and now we have another to share the driving. This recent massive hike in the cost of gas will have a disproportionate effect on poor people but that means nothing to someone like Justin Trudeau who was fortunate to have been born into wealth. The nearest small town to me is about a 25 min drive. I used to think nothing of it to drive there on a weekend to shop but I will no longer take that drive. My car is a compact four cylinder. I don't see anything on the market that fits my budget and needs. Hyundai's two electric models are around 45 grand. The Nissan Leaf is too small and the range too little. Chevrolet's models are around 40 grand and then there's the iffy GM reliability. When there's an electric car for around 25 grand with 500km range then that will get my attention. The elephant in the room for more electric cars in the future is going to be the resistance from environmentalists to the most sensible source of electricity, nuclear. I might bite the bullet and retire earlier than I planned. I do think the Trudeau and Biden governments are privately thrilled about the price of gas now.
