So Canadian Leftists want to establish a coalition of nuclear powers to "conttain" the Trump-led United States, and in their debate over who would lead them discussed how to "outwit' Trump (these half-wits couldn't outwit a maple tree if the tree spotted them ten points.)

Conservative Treehouse has the 411:

RIP Roberta Flack

The singer, known for such hits as "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." passed away on Monday at age 88.

Flack was a huge star in the '70's and her music always reminds me of my youth.

While no cause of death has been given the singer suffered from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).

I suspect our Northern Tier editor Dana Mathewson has a thought or two on the subject.

She will be missed.

The United Kingdom just announced a massive military buildup, doing exactly what Trump intended - forcing the Europeans to shoulder some of teh burden for their own defense.

We keep winning!

Europe has been withering away because they have been trapped in an eternal childhood, dependent on the U.S. Perhaps making them stand on their own two feet will restore their pride in themselves and maybe, just maybe, they will toss so much of this nonsense and return to their old values.

Trump may be the savior of Europe.

Plants Are "Leaking” – And It Could Make Global Warming Even Worse

They are just getting ridiculous; "leaking plants" because it's a whopping one degree on average warmer than a hundred years ago, and that throughout the course of the year and mostly diurnal (nighttime) temps to boot.

The planet has been much warmer before, and at least as warm in recent memory. The Medieval Warming Period was warmer. The Roman period about as warm. You didn't have a runaway leakage back then.

Emmanuel Macron "fact checks" Trump in a tense meeting.

When a reporter asked His Froggy Magesty "Will France support the U.S. being compensated?” he replied:

"I support the idea to have Ukraine first being compensated because they are the one to have lost a lot of their fellow citizens and being destroyed by these attacks.

Second, all those who paid for [the war] to be compensated, but not by Ukraine, by Russia, because they were to ones to aggress,”

fin

This answer presupposes total victory over Russia, not a negotiated peace agreement.

It also is rather like a car seller handing out the keys to the vehicle and not having any sort of agreement in writing to guarantee payment. Worse, it's a "car" that cannot be repoed and towed back to the dealership. All of it is based on the good word of the Ukrainians and Volodomor Zelensky, something dubious at best.

You cannot borrow so much as a hundred dollars without leavings ome collateral. That's the basis of pawn shops.

So Macron shows himself a fool with both statements.

At another point Trump said "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine...they’re getting their money back” Macron interrupted to say, "No, in fact, to be frank, we paid. We paid 60% of the total effort.”

But they are STILL gettin 40% back but expect us to get nothing, to underwrite all of it with no compesnation.

Trump repeated "Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.”

I'm not privvy to the exact details of the agreement but I have little doubt Trump is right about this (he has been proven right about so many things of which we were assured were not true in times past). I would make a few other observations - for one thing America has zero interest in eastern Europe; it does little to affect our national security. It DOES have a huge impact on European security though; so why should we pay for it but not the Europeans? It is a continental problema - THEIR problem. If they want this they should pay for it. I would also ask how much of the money Europe isn't getting back came from America? USAID? I suspect quite a big if we dig into it.

Trump showed he knows Macron is full of balogna:

"If you believe that, it’s okay with me. They get their money back. We don’t and now we do, and that’s only fair.”

Fair indeed. Ukraine wants our assisstance, and not just with this war but with a long-term security committment. They want us to simply give it, no strings attached. But what do we get out of it?

The U.S., with far fewer people and an only slightly higher GDP than the European Unioin, have given $7 billion more than have the Europeans, and this for a problem in THEIR neighborhood, not ours.

Question; how much has Europe given to fight Fentanyl coming in from Mexico? How much have they contributed to anything in this hemisphere? Why should they? So why should we fund things that impact them only?

Trump is actually offering them a good deal; he wants half of their rare earth elements, but that means the U.S. will be there permanently, developing the mining industry and perhaps may even manufacture things there. He's offering a partnership to the Ukrainians for continued aid. Otherwise they can leave this in the ground, make no money from it, and continue to go hat-in-hand to the U.S. and Europe for continued security assisstance. He's offering them a guarantee.

But they don't want it because they figure they can do better and we'll eventually cave like Joe Biden always did, or like Barack Obama. And they know guys like Macron will be a fellow traveler.

Here's a point to ponder; Ukraine receives more foreign aid than any other country (and this is not just the military aid.) According to USA Facts:

"The top aid recipient in FY 2023 — Ukraine — received more money from the US than the bottom 159 aid-receiving countries combined."

So we have been pouring money out to them. Why are we not getting some of that back? And if Macron doesn't want France to be paid that's his business; our President is the leader of the United States, not of Europe.

If Macron wants to open his mouth he would do better to put some snails in it and not try to lecture our President.

Money is drying up for the Democrats as donors big and small withhold the loot, according to The Hill.

"Democratic donors — from bundlers to small dollar donors — say they are still angry about the election results and uninspired by anything their side has put forward since then,” accprding to the article.

One major donor said:

"They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking. … The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies, and to what end?”"

Well, the guy half gets it. The dirty little secret is the Democrats have almost NEVER deviated from their standard playbook in a hundred years. They never needed to because the Republicans responded in the exact same way every time. It worked because they had the media carrying their water and the media had incredible power. But nobody trusts the media anymore and there is plenty of new media with citizen jounralists breaking stories that, in the past, the big media would spike. And the playbook would have worked on another Republican ooo; Trump is in a class by himself and stopped playing by the agreed-upon rules of the game (which guaranteed Democrat victories and Republican humiliation.)

The only really new Democrat since Roosevelt was Clinton, and he still used much of the same playbook. Clinton was devious and co-opted the GOP successes. In fact he never did win more than a plurality in either of his elections and he lost the House. He was hardly as popular as he is now made out to be (yes, he had high poll numbers but those were not indicative of anything; the polls were being manipulated to help Clinton stay in office by frightening the coswardly GOP into going easy on him with the impeachment. Oh, and that was the Jenny Jones/Jerry Springer era and Clinton was sympathetic to the folks who watched such garbage.)

Now the big donors (and small) are realizing the direction their party has taken is leading to the real crazies becoming the base, and the party has reached the event horizon; it can go no further. Money down a rat hole.

And with DOGe cutting off the government money being laundered to the Democrats why would they risk actual dollars that won't be matched by taxpayer funds? Betterto cut their losses now.

We are at an historic moment in history; we have a real chance to shatter the Democrats once and for all. We have the right man for the job, the right people in place. There is a real chance the Democratic Party could dissolve completely, or splinter into multiple parties. They appear to be the modern Whigs.

Control of vast sums of dark money from taxpayers and the ability to steal key elections via a sophisticated vote fraud machine have been two of the Democrat cornerstones of power. DOGE is ruining the first, and the DOJ may well start work on the latter soon enough.

Which is why there will be a cataclysmic event that will occur in the near future. They are trying to figure out what to do at the moment; another pandemic is one of their ideas, for instance. That would fail because it's old news and nobody trusts them on it anymore. They could assassinate Trump but they already tried that to no avail. If it happens everyone will know they had a hand in it.

There is still the Federal Reserve, which could contract the money supply to trigger a massive recession. Or they could jack interest rates through the roof.

The CIA and other sinister black op organizations are still there, and another assassination attempt, this one done professionally, could still come. Of course that would mean J.D. Vance gets into power, but who knows what will happen then? Vance is a familly man with small children after all; hostoges to fortune. He would know what a Trump assassination meant for him and his family.

Then there is always the possibility of war. One well-placed nuclear weapon taking out an American city could change the political climate, and don't think some of the Democrats, perhaps most, wouldn't consider that.

There was a television show on during the mid 2000nds called Jerico. It is famous for the "peanut campaign" to save the show (where, after the show mentioned Mccauliff and the 101st at Bastogne, the fans sent tons of peanuts to the CBS headquarters until they promised to bring the show back for a summer season to at least end the show properly.) Jerico was about a terrorist nuclear attack on the U.S. and the small town in Kansas that fought to survive the aftermath. In the show you learn that a cabal of politicians in league with a major corporate entity used a scenario they wargamed for the DOD, stealing nuclear weapons and taking out 23 cities and setting themselves up as the new government.

While I doubt they would go THAT far, they may be willing to sacrifice one city in a bright red state - Palm Beach, maybe. They might even be willing to take out New York City if Eric Adams refuses to leave...

I am fully convinced Covid was their game-changer last time and I think it was INTENTIONALLY released to get rid of Trump and MAGA. I think they knew it was a killer but not the Black Death and it was a price they were willing to pay - most of them are Malthusians anyway, believing overpopulation is humanity's top problem and this was a way to thin the herd. They'll do it again if they feel cornered.

There are any number of other things they could do; take down the electric grid with a computer virus, take down our satellites the same way, cause some huge catastrophe', say, in air traffic or rail traffic. Anything that undermines the confidence of the American People in Trump's policies. They will blame DOGE for these sorts of things.

And there is always terrorism. Another 911 would lead to much acrimony and finger pointing.

Even if these things didn't work they would set the stage for later elections, and would boost the Democrats in Congress,where they could restart their endless war against the orange peril.

But don't expect them to develop totally new tactics; everything they do will be just an updated version of their old playbook. They have no creativity because they are not independent thinkers. They all move in lockstep because they think like a flock of birds or army ants, but they never come up with original ideas.

I was watching the t.v. show Under the Dome, which is about aliens turning people into pod people. (You can see I spend too much time watching t.v. these days.) The alien people were unable to do ANYTHING without being led. And when their leader jumped off a building they all followed suit. That reminded me of Democrats; they do it because, well, they are SUPPOSED to do it.

At any rate the Democrats are seeing their funding dry up and that has to scare the bejesus out of them. They are going to get quite desperate and when cornered a rat always attacks. It's going to get coyote ugly before long.

Here is an interesting story about the Dominion voting machines and how the whole story about them has yet to become public. Dominion sued everyone in sight and nobody dares publicly challenge them anymore.

This article discusses Patrick Byrne, who claims to have the goods on Dominion and has handed over his proof to Fox (which still pretends not to know).

Byrne says the whole thing is run by the Chicoms via Venezuela and Serbia.

Be sure to read the whole thing.

If that's the way he wants it fine! We can start by pulling all of our servicemen out and closing our military bases in the Deutch Republic.

Germany's Merz vows 'independence' from Trump's America ...

Merz accused America of "meddling" with their elections because Trump endorsed his more conservative rival.

So he wants to show us he's not going to knuckle under to Trump, is he? Well a man accepts the consequences.

That means Germany will have to build an armed force capable of defending the country without any help from the U.S. It means paying for everything on it's own. If they want to actually do that more power to them, but I have little doubt they don't want to do that.

What Merz wants is to shoot his mouth off and act tough at our expense. Rush Limbaugh used to seethe about that, about these countries that want our help and our dollars but then want to trash talk about us.

Put up or shut up Merz!

BTW No alliance in history has lasted as long in an unchanged fashion as has this NATO alliance. It is much the same now as when it was first established (albeit it's much bigger) and the proximal cause of it's existence died in the nineteen nineties as the Soviet Union collapsed. There was no reason for NATO to remain in existence and had it disbanded the Russians probably wouldn't have elected Putin in the first place. The idea that we have to maintain it in it's current form is unrealistic, to put it mildly. Time to revamp it, or perhaps even allow it to die. It's outlived it's usefulness.

They can see the writing on the wall.

Afrikaners Stand in Line for Trump’s Refugee Offer

This was inevitable after the white South Africans handed over power to the socialists in the ANC. I'm just surprised it took this long.

Strange; the Left was all worried about civil rights when it was the black community not getting them. Now that it involves whites they couldn't care less.

I would remind everyone that the white people settled in this land first; the "bantu" people (as they are known there) came later to take jobs created by the white Afrikaaners. So now the bantu want to push the whites out and take that which the whites built. They are not content to share - just take.

South Africa was once a wealthy first world country.It was so rich it was able to provide jobs to huge numbers of black people who came and settled and now want it all. South Africa had an atomic bomb. It had a vibrant tourist trade. It had a big wine industry. It is fast becoming a third world hellhole. Rhodesia, it's next door neighbor, was similarly rich and peaceful. Now as zimbabwe it's the poorest country in Africa and a place no sane person wants to live.

South Africa is next.

I'd get the hell out of there too if I were them.

The Afrikaaners have their own distinctive culture and it's a shame to watch it just die. Too bad we can't find some sparsely-inhabited land to settle them. Maybe they can settle in Guyana? I don't know but it's a pity that their heritage is done. They were an independent and hearty lot and losing it all to DEI is ignoble at best.

This guy is full of bull.

Zelensky says he would resign if it means peace or NATO membership

He'd resign but set it up so he could come right back.And he knows we can't give Ukraine NATO membership right now, so it's a pure bluff.

Zelensky claims he's not offended by Trump calling him a dictator "because I'm not a dictator". I'd like to know what his definition of a dictator is then. He has suspended elections indefinitely. He has suspended freedom of speech and of the press. Whyare there no imbedded journalists in the Ukrainian forces? He has kicked the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox Church out of the country and sanctioned organizations with ties to the RO Church. He has expanded the state of emergency to include allowing unwarranted search and seizure and other such activities.He has banned the use of Russian in any official capacity in the country (even though it's one of the nation's primary languages.) He has arrested many political opponents. It is crystal clear Zelensky is completely in charge and the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian Parliament, has as much power as did the Bundestag did under Hitler. The Verkhovna Rada had passed some 300 laws last year yet there was no debate on any of them - Zelensky proposed and they passed them without question. This mirrors the work of the Bundestag opoerated as well.

Not sure how much more of a dictator one must be to qualify for the position.

At any rate Zelensky has had it all his own way for so long he doesn't realize the worm has turned. He's like the light heavyweight who has decided he's so good he can challenge the heavyweight champ. He's playing in a whole other class now.

Zelensky is the problem these days. Until he is kicked out of power the war will drag on and on. Maybe it's time for another orange Revolution? Keep the CIA busy and out of domestic politics.

In Ukrainian the world leader is kerivneek. Hail is grad. So, Grad Kerivneek!
