Month: July 2019

Sufferage.

Not much happening today.  News seems to be slow in coming.

Writer’s block. Oh no.

I knew it. Bombardier’s woes in manufacturing rail cars in Tunder Bay By since 1912 is…………..ta da………Trump’s fault. Whew, for a minute there I thought it was climate change to blame.

Who on earth would bring their young children to see a polo match?

a man standing next to a car: Wait, Was the Royal Polo Outing a Genius PR Play? The Royals of course. Geesh. Man oh man, life is tough huh? And look at the size of that SUV. Didn’t Charles say we only had 96 months to live on the planet…..100 months ago…if we didn’t curtail climate change? And what about these guys Charles? Climate change my ass. It’s really horseshit isn’t it?

a person riding a horse in a field: Wait, Was the Royal Polo Outing a Genius PR Play?

Oh this is cute:

John McCallum wearing a suit and tie: McCallum, who was fired as the Canadian ambassador to Beijing for making politically charged comments in January.John McCallum, Canada’s former and fired ambassador to China is now spewing bull-crap to his Chinese buddies and their leader Z’eye Ping that if they want real progress with Canada then they should ensure that Trudeau wins the next election. Hey isn’t this sweet and sour pork barrelling? Foreign meddling. Stick to chicken balls John. They taste way better. And Chinese MSG will really make you go for the gusto.

The US has so called Russian collusion. Canada gets chopsticks and won ton soup. Geesh. It is Trump’s fault…no climate change buddy.

Z’eye Ping had no comment to McCallum’s remarks as he was on the golf course.

Yesterday’s video about the long grass in Dunedin Florida and a homeowners fight with city hall over a $30K grass cutting fine got me to thinking. Victoria city council could make a lot of money enforcing that bylaw on its Victoria residences. They could start by fining themselves for this fire hazard right in the heart of the city.

It only takes a spark, or lightening, to cause this:

Victoria does not want to cut its grass due to some unique flora and fauna that might be living among the weeds. I kid you not.

“Hey Flora,” a young hipster Victorian dude was heard to remark. “Lets go down to Victoria’s park and have some fauna among the weeds.” I know…..groan. Hey it’s Thursday.

See the source image

Fun among the weeds in Victoria’s Beacon Hill Park. Aaah, our future generation of leaders.

25 of the best dressed celebs. Here is one:

Slide 2 of 26: This Good Place star admits her style is more relaxed than the character she plays (Tahani), and says the most important part of her fashion journey has been learning to love her own body. “Being okay with yourself is the most amazing middle finger to everyone,” she tells Elle. “I wear a bit of makeup and short shorts and high platform boots sometimes… but it’s an eighth of who I am.” See photo on Instagram                                             And another.

Slide 7 of 26: All of the Jonas brothers have an innate sense of style, but it’s 29-year-old Joe that’s become a red-carpet staple thanks to his well-tailored suits and stunning partner (the aforementioned Sophie Turner). “Joe knows there's a difference between understated and boring; with edgy outerwear and a slouchy tee, he hits that minimalistic sweet spot that makes an outfit feel fresh,” notes GQ. See photo on Instagram

Toxic masculinity I would guess but I don’t know about her. Toxic femininity perhaps. Women’s Suffering…er…Sufferage perhaps. Or a guy’s worst nightmare date. Pass the weed man. I need to get stoned.

That girl must be cold. Especially with the air conditioning on.

 

 

Woman’s Sufferage….wait for it….Air Conditioning. I kid you not. This is the latest row among feminists about those dastardly, sexist HVAC dudes. You know. It has been 100 years since the start of women’s Sufferage and a time a century ago when women really had something important to say. Keep this up and it will be another 100 years, maybe more, before they have anything worthwhile to say again. Maybe longer.

Except my girlfriend of course. Sorry babe…just kidding. Honest.

Final beetle is leaving the factory today. Other beetles came out to cheer him or her on:

Pssst, Shakeyjay. I think they meant these guys:

Right. Memories. My first car was a 1959 Volkswagen “Punch Buggy.”

Massachusetts wants to change the state’s juvenile age to 21. Hey, age has nothing to do with being a juvenile. My dear late wife used to tell me that all the time.

Have a great day.

SJ…………….Out

Don’t Worry. Be Happy

A new article about Don Cherry and Coaches’ Corner and why he should retire is out there. I am not a fan of Don Cherry primarily because he cannot put two sentences together. He is often times incoherent and is stuck in the 1980’s Boston Bruins past. He is not a sign of the times except maybe bad times. He appears to me from his commentary on TV to have been a bully player. As a player and as a coach he sometimes brings out the worst in many of us. The kids used to love him but that love is now fading like everything else considered to be Maple syrup by the new generation of Canadians. He is way past his best before date. Like Bob Cole, the iconic Maple Leaf’s broadcaster Don’s “jersey” should have been retired a long, long time ago.

On the other hand he is a non apologetic Canadian. Something this country dearly lacks, especially with our political leadership. He is patriotic, loves our military and police forces and instills a sense of Canadian pride that he himself wears on his sleeve. But given his conservative values, views and Canadiana pride you will never, ever see Don Cherry elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame or be nominated to the Order of Canada. A proud Canadian maybe but he is not considered progressive enough for the snotty, smug elitist hierarchy that runs this country. Don Cherry is considered way, way too blue collar for their liking.

I am reading articles now that are putting the Liberals in the lead. How can this be?  What with all of the scandals and corruption out there? Or is this just more media liberal bias? Probably.

Vancouver Pride bans University of British Columbia from participating in the upcoming Pride celebrations. Why? They dared to allow someone on their campus to speak out about some of the LGBT community activities. Of course Pride prides itself for being all inclusive, apolitical as long as that all inclusiveness, apoliticalness notions are not critical of them.

We do not need Pride. They need us.

It is coming to this. LA coffee chain bans NBA star Kaw-hi from all of its locations after the star failed to sign with the LA Lakers…. Geesh, your coffee ain’t that good.

By the way, how do you pronounce that name anyway. Kaw….Hi….. as in…. Raw….Hide…… Don’t know, just saying, that’s all.

Quebec now joins Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in their fight against the Federal government’s carbon tax.

I wonder what Quebec wants from the Feds now.

A hat that embodies pure evil? What you may ask? A hat emblazoned with “Make America Great Again.” read Don Cherry above.

Pure evil……………………..

All beer drinkers out there will understand this.

And don’t worry, be happy. To all you guys out there. Have a beer.

Have a great day.

 

SJ…………………………….Out

Happy Monday

Follow da money!

Canadian Basketball fan upset after hearing both Kawhi and Danny Green are leaving the Raptors for California. Even Trudeau gets in on the act, upset as he is and us, for not going with them.

From the Captain Obvious file: How often should you eat to lose weight?……..Never!

Hockey Night in Canada’s  Don Cherry states that he will be back next season. Grammarly is ecstatic on hearing the news. If there ever was an argument for a “best before” date this was it.

And this is news why? Cher, Michael Douglas and other stars are selling their homes. Sooo. I can’t afford them.

Profound statement of the week! A UFC fighter, undefeated after 19 bouts, loses after getting knocked out in 5 seconds by his opponent. Commenting after regaining consciousness: “Well that sucked.” It is a wonder he could say anything at all. Follow da money! is all I can say.

a group of people wearing costumes: TOPSHOT - USA's players celebrate with the trophy after the France 2019 Womens World Cup football final match between USA and the Netherlands, on July 7, 2019, at the Lyon Stadium in Lyon, central-eastern France. (Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP) (Photo credit should read FRANCK FIFE/AFP/Getty Images)

Congrats to the US women’s soccer team for their win over the Netherlands. But yet again CNN sees this as an opportunity to slam Trump.

“You shouldn’t sleep with a fan on.” So says this ad which also states that you shouldn’t even attempt to by one during a heat wave. Grammarly was also ecstatic on reading this ad.

The argument against meat and for “plant based foods.” You can think of it as our great vegetarian blind spot, and it has left us defenseless to the brassiest escalation yet in the cause against meat, the remarkable assertion that eating meat is bad for the planet. Talk about overplaying your hand. Where eating meat was once bad for a person’s arteries, now we are to do so with the shame that it’s bad for all of life upon Earth. Everything is now bad for you, so says the UN in its fight against climate change and for the establishment of one world government led by, of course, the UN.

“But we’re living longer too. Bad for the planet says the UN. Everyone should be dead by 70. To save the planet and to fight climate change. So says the WHO. Who??

The Drug addiction poverty, homeless business is alive and well and doing fine thank you very much. “Vancouver has universal health care, abundant addiction treatment and harm reduction, supervised drug consumption rooms, and a clinic that provides heroin. It also has the same opioid overdose death rate as West Virginia.”

Oxy moron of the week. Diversity professor defends the notion of not dating white guys.

Only in Canada you say: Getting lobsters stoned before cooking. You cannot boil them alive anymore – a practice that has been going on for centuries. But Cannabis know betters. No, no, no. Get them stoned first then beat the crap out of them with a hammer. That will do it says a representative for Cannabis’ food guide.

Another from the Captain Obvious file: Why do so many young people suddenly die? Their hearts stop perhaps? Just saying!

Oh this is cute: “To end fatphobia, we need to dismantle Western civilization,” says Philly therapist Sonalee Rashatwar, after devouring a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. “No….as I stated above, just stop eating.”

And people are an industry’s most valued ass-et. “Deutsche Bank slashed 18,000 jobs in a restructuring move.”

Kinda slow news day.

This came out in 1971. A great album.

Have a great day.

A Collection of Pics and Vids.

In keeping with the 4th of July tradition, here is a video to explain America’s exceptionalism from a nice wholesome pretty American girl…oops. White Privilege!!

They certainly have done a great deal to contribute to the west’s prosperity. Of course there are many out there that do not feel this way and are ready to crucify Trump for just about everything, including climate change.

Thanks to the Rebel for this one:

There was a big 4th of July parade earlier today in Washington, D.C.

But if you were getting your news from the Big 3 TV networks, you wouldn’t have known about it. On the afternoon of July 3rd, news broke that ABC, CBS and NBC would be following the lead of MSNBC and not airing the 4th of July parade. Why? Because they, the media, hate Trump and still cannot get over the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the election. It is as simple as that.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is still at a fever pitch, isn’t it?

So much for the media.

People take note.

Get this: Sebastian Gorka reveals the most important political book of the last decade: “Deep Throat 10.” Hey it brought down Nixon, why not Trump?

Trudeau and Canada’s climate change guru, Climate Barbie’s, worst nightmare. The Bolton Truck and Tractor Pull:

“Oh how I love the smell of carbon in the morning.” And these girls.  Perhaps the Canadian government should ban this for the more exciting “Prius and the EV Bus Pull contest. Or perhaps this:

See the source image Hey Barnie, Wilma, Betty, watch this.

Speaking of the climate, here is a snippet from one of America’s great, but late humourist:

“Lava in the living room.” Gotta love that.

Or “how I found love on the flood plain.”

And speaking of Science, Alexandra Occasionally Cortez But Generally Whacko would not get this:

A statement of “HYPOCRISY.”

https://youtu.be/tpwH_o2eNpw

This is the Liberal, Progressive, Green solution to feeding the planet.

Let them eat maggots.

Of course they would eat steak.

Please, please, say it ain’t so.

See the source imageMad Magazine is no more. Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo. I grew up with this guy Neuman and its satirical bent.

If only today’s mainstream media would implode.

C’mon people, shun the elitist UN shit, think for yourself and hop onboard. Play it loud and sing along. You will be happy. I guarantee it.

And here is another one along the same lines.

God the music of the 60s and 70s was just awesome, wasn’t it?

It is a wonderful world. If you let it be.

Have a great day. When everyday is a great day. No matter.

Happy 4th of July

Happy fourth of July to all of my American friends. The greatest country in the world. Defender of our peace.

See the source image

America and Americans really know how to do things right.

https://youtu.be/URbYAaAK9OQ

Without America the light of our world would surely diminish. God bless you.

Through two world wars, your valour and your sacrifice have not gone unnoticed. We do appreciate you.

Sad and tragic but the Union stood firm and came through…stronger and free.

And finally:

Beautiful land, beautiful people, beautiful spirit.

America? Thank you for being there.

Have a great 4th of July.
