Cnhristmas light display seen somewhere in Canada

What a cunning stunt! Thanks and seasonal greetings to Agent 6.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Magdeburg, Germany

A car plowed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday evening in an apparent deliberate attack. Eyewitnesses claimed that a driver drove directly into a large group of people gathered in a Christmas market. The German newspaper BILD reports that over 20 people were injured during the attack. It is currently unclear if anyone has died.  

The driver was immediately arrested, but die Polizei have so far not revealed his identity, ethnicity, religion, or status in Germany. They say only that his possible motive remain unclear. However... according to a spokesthingy for the government of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the incident was an intentional attack. 

Are they perhaps jumping to the same conclusion as everyone except the police?

This is a developing story. In the unlikely event that we have rushed to an incorrect judgment, we will, of course, remove this meme.

SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED: Update added 21/12/24 at 0530.

Five people have been confirmed to have died in the attack, one of whom was a child. More than 200 people have been injured and at least 41 are in a critical condition. The toll had earlier been reported as two dead and 68 injured, but was revised to the much higher totals this morning, local time. None of the victims have been identified yet.

German media has identified the suspect as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy from the Saudi Arabian city of Hofuf, who moved to Germany in 2006 and lives in Bernburg, 25 miles south of Magdeburg. He has been recognised as a refugee since 2016.

So our suspicion that the murderer was -- for a time, at least -- a follower of Prophet was correct. Lifetime pct .987.

But here's the strange part. Frau Nancy Faeser, Germany's Interior Minister, told the meeja that it was "clear to see" that the suspect holds "Islamophobic" views. Let that sink in. "Islamophobic" ???!!!  She said Herr A is an outspoken critic of Islam on social media, and has promoted conspiracy theories regarding an alleged plot by German authorities to islamization Europe. We await clarification.

Further thought: Now the politically correct meeja are calling Herr A an "ex-Muslim". ??? If he's an apostate, and an Islamophobe, why would he perpetrate a typically Islamic terror attack? Did he think the crowd he drove into were all Muslims? "Car jihad" doesn't sound very "ex-Muslim" to us!

VIDEO: Kevin O'Leary: To save Canada, Trudeau has to go!

Our post of December 18th may have been something of an oversimplification. Canada's problems are not unrelated to unfettered mass migration from Third World shitholes, but it is not that alone that has turned the country into Canuckistan. 

"It's the economy, stupid!" Under the all-seeing but uncaring eyes of Prime Minister Justin "Junior" Trudeau and his fragrant former Finance Minister, whose name escapes us, the Canadian economy is spiralling down the pipe. 

The beaverbuck (referred to in that post as the "snow peso") is today worth about 69 cents in real money. Inflation has only just been wrestled down to about 2%, after being as high as 10% earlier in the year. Unemployment hovers around 7%. And now Canada faces the threat of a 25% tariff on all its exports to the US of A, if it doesn't get its act together.

What is to be done? In this video, Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian politician and businessman, investor, journalist, author, and television personality known in the USA for his appearances on Shark Tank, reacts to the firing of Chrystia Freeland -- oh yeah, that's the one whose name we forgot -- and the Trudeau Liberals' disastrous Economic Statement of December 16th.

   

Don'tcha love the expression on the state-owned CBC's interviewer's face? It's hard to believe the Corpse would even air this scathing denunciation of their fearless leader.

We are pleased to do our part to get this message out to our Canadian readers and friends. If you're one of them, pass it on. 

Another video worth watching: "Trudeau showed 'an unfathomable level of incompetence' this week": John Ivison, National Post, 19/12/24. Can things really be "the worst since 1929"? Errr, could be!

Darwin Award Gold Medal for 2024

May we have the envelope, please?... This year's highest Darwin Award goes, posthumously of course, to Lester C. Harvey, of Phenix, Virginia. Here is one of the last sights Mr Harvey saw before his death on December 9th.

The unfortunate incident unfolded as Mr Harvey and some friends were tracking a bear, which ran up a tree, as bears do. One of his friends then shot the animal, which fell on Mr Harvey, who had managed to live 58 years until that fatal moment.

A member of the hunting party rendered first aid before Mr Harvey was rushed to two different hospitals, neither of which was able to prevent nature from taking its course. 

According to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, black bears are found throughout most of the state and have been located in at least 92 of Virginia's 98 counties and cities. 

The department says that it is illegal "to cripple, harm or dislodge a bear from a tree for the intent of continuing a hunt, chase, or for the purpose of training dogs." However, a spokesthingy told the local CBS affiliate, "the Department is not currently seeking any charges related to this incident."

Trudeau's Canada explained in one picture

People keep asking, "What happened to Canada?" Here's the answer.

This meme is based on an actual photograph os a recent immigrant (legal, of course) treating a Toronto sidewalk the same way as a Bombay sidewalk. 

Footnote: The beaverbuck is now worth less than 70 cents U.S. It's all very sad, really.

Ding, dong, the Wicked Witch of the North is dead!

The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, the over-reaching feminist who became Finance Minister of Canuckistan, resigned from her post about 24 hours ago, citing disagreements with Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface on how to respond to incoming President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs unless the Great No-longer-white North gets its act together.

In her resignation, announced by a letter to Junior published on "X", the fragrant Ms Freeland she said the two have been "at odds about the best path forward for Canada", and pointed to the "grave challenge" posed by President Trump's policy of "aggressive economic nationalism". 

30 years ago, was a lowly typist [journalist, shurely! Hal] for the Toronto Groan and Wail. She is alleged to have a degree in liberal arts and knows nothing about economics and finance. She is 4'9" tall without her pointy hat, just slightly higher than M Trudeau's belt buckle. 

It is not difficult then to figure out how she rose (geddit?) to the second-highest position in Canada's Liberal government, as chosen by its avowed male feminist leader. How disappointed she must have been -- spitting mad, perhaps -- when Junior informed her last week that he no longer wanted her to be his government's top economic adviser. 

As Canadians (Sid and Doris Bonkers) watched a day of considerable political turmoil, the Donald Trump was also watching the Canadian edition of The Gong Show. In a Truth Social post late last night, the President said, "The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau. Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada." 

He ended his post with, "She will not be missed!!!" And ain't that the truth he told ya!

VIDEO: The secret to Walt's longevity

Readers ask, "Just how old is Walt Whiteman, anyway?" Now that Ed. has been relieved of his duties, it can be revealed that Walt is, indeed, as old as dirt. The real question is: how does he overcome the creeping senility which has laid low the likes of Crooked Joe Biden and Francis the Talking Pope. 

The answer is... wait for it... Coca-Cola. Walt receives a daily infusion of the Pause That Refreshes, celebrated in song in this TV commercial.

"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" is a pop song which originated as an advertising jingle, produced by Billy Davis and sung by the Hillside Singers in 1971. A few months later, the New Seekers also had a hit with the song, with the lyrics amended to remove the reference to the Big Drink.
