MUSIC VIDEO: "Lake America? No, EH!"

Wut, another music video? Yes, but this one is political, and right on point with President Trump's apparent descent into lunacy. This is "Lake Ontario", an official anthem of the Canadian Resistance Army.

 

Thanks and a tip of the conical chapeau to Agent 78 for giving us the link to this one. 

Revenge for "Lake America" - "Av Trump Ave" to be renamed?

The blowback from President Trump's purported renaming of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" increases by the hour. The mojo wire just spat out a report that the city council of Ottawa, the capital of Canuckistan, is searching for a new name for "Av Trump Ave" (it's a bilingual sign, see), a small street in a quiet subdivision in the city's west end.

Wikipedia says the street was "indirectly named" for the Donald. In fact the developers who turned an experimental farm into the Central Park subdivision in the 1990s named the street directly after the infamous real-estate developer for explicitly articulated marketing reasons.

All the streets in Central Park contain themed references to the tony parts of the Big Apple, but alas, there is no original "Trump Avenue" in NYC, so they just made that one up. In the `90s, the Trump name had connotations of glitz, wealth and commercial vision rather than the overweening egotism and self-destructive foolishness with which we associate it today. See our previous post.

Writing in the Notional Pest, Colby Cosh says, "Trump is now the world’s most notorious practitioner of crazed onomastic revision itself! And, as we all know, his amour-propre has the size and flammable nature of a zeppelin: he will actually feel indignant and aggrieved if he gets wind that the impulsively named Trump Avenue has suddenly been re-branded." 

What would he do then? Where will this all end up? Walt is making popcorn...

Winning? Looks to us like Trump has finally jumped the shark

Trump Says Grocery Bills Should Drop 

After He Renames a Few More Things 'America'

That's the Babylon Bee's headline accompanying this photo. Click here to read their article, the gist of which is "The cost of groceries will fall like you won't believe," and everything will be just peachy-keen from here on out. It's satire, of course, but think about this...

If well over half of a politician's constituents, and over 90% of the rest of the world, are laughing at him, is he winning or losing? 

Regular readers of WWW know that Walt was a strong suporter of DJT's bids for election and re-election. We liked the idea of Making America Great Again, and wished President Trump good luck. But even then, we took him cum grano salis. 

Now we can only avert our gaze as he makes a fool of himself and of the US of A on the world's stage. It's embarrassing. And we can't even advise the Donald to quit while he's ahead, because... he's not ahead. He's losing. And it can only get worse. 

The stone truth about the US-Canada trade war

Scraped from Blazing Cat Fur. 

The good folks there are having their annual Labour Day fundraising drive. Walt supports them and asks you to do the same.

Your Sikhs today: Mississippi edition

Walt is aware  that it's not only Canada that has a problem with ubiquitous and iniquitous Sikh truck drivers -- many of them illegal aliens -- smuggling drugs and endangering other motorists. (WWW passim.)  The US of A is also plagued with them, although problems in America tend to be not so much with smuggling as with motor mayhem.

Case in point: On August 20th, the driver of an 18-wheeler struck and killed a pedestrian in Hinds County MS. According to @BorderHawk, Dedric Garrett, 36, exited his vehicle on I-20 just after 1330 when he was hit by a Freightliner tractor-trailer. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) identified the driver of the big rig as Sube Singh (not exactly as pictured), a 26-year-old resident of Fresno CA. He was not injured in the crash, and it remains unclear [Wut? Ed.] if he will face charges. 

The Department of Homeland Security confirms that Mr Singh is a citizen of India who has been in the US of A illegally for over eight years. 

A DHS statement says, "Border Patrol encountered Singh on November 19, 2017. He was released from ICE custody on bond on May 10, 2018, and is enrolled in an alternative to detention with a GPS monitor, 

"It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating vehicles on America’s roads. [Duh! Ed.] DHS is aggressively working with its interagency partners to get illegal alien commercial drivers off the road."

The Daily Wire, which separately confirmed Mr Singh's status with the department, reported that he was wearing the federal tracker while driving the rig. Turning Point USA executive producer Andrew Kolvet wrote that Mr Singh is at least the fifth Indian national with the surname "Singh" tied to a deadly American crash.

Harjinder Singh killed three people on the Florida Turnpike in August of 2025. He was making an illegal U-turn. Two months later, Jashanpreet Singh ran his rig into stopped traffic on I-10 in Ontario CA, killing three. In July he was sentenced to four years and eight months imprisonment, "a slap on the wrist" according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

In May, California prosecutors charged Manvir Singh with vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run after a wreck that killed a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man. DHS used the case to push Congress on Dalilah’s Law, which would stop states from handing commercial licenses to illegal aliens. 

Secretary Duffy recently finalized a rule shutting unqualified foreign drivers out of the commercial licensing system. In 2025 alone, federal officials blamed "non-domiciled drivers" for at least 17 fatal crashes and 30 deaths.

Walt sez: Diversity and wokeness are killing us. Remigration is the answer!

Your Sikhs today: Déjà vu all over again

Seems like just yesterday -- in fact it was over two months ago -- that we posted "Your Sikhs today: Blue Water Bridge edition" in which we reported how long-haul truck drivers, most of them graduates of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving, routinely enter Canada from the US of A at the Blue Water Bridge which links Port Huron MI and Point Edward ON, smuggling large amounts of cocaine and other recreational drugs.

The Canadian authorities keep announcing seizures and arrests, pretending that they have the criminal activity of the Sikh drug lords under control, but the perps rarely get lengthy sentences and, in spite of often being in Canada illegally (as "foreign students" or "temporary workers" who've overstayed their ill-gotten visas) are almost never deported.

Almost every week we read yet another crime news story which gives the lie to the Liberal government of Canuckistan's claim that their border controls are effective. Here, in its entirety, is the Global TV News report of an incident which happened on August 13th. 

Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it has seized nearly 400 kilograms of suspected cocaine from a truck passing through the Ontario-US border. The seizure happened at the Blue Water Bridge port of Entry in Point Edward on Aug. 13, the CBSA said in a news release Tuesday.

A commercial truck was passing through when it was referred for secondary examination. It was then that officials allegedly found roughly 385 kilograms of suspected cocaine. The driver was arrested, and the RCMP charged them with importing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

That's it. That's all a major lickspittle media outlet had to say. Nothing about the nationality, race or religion of the unidentified truck drive. Nothing to identify which of the many iterations of Diversity Truck Lines owned the big rig. Fortunately, a small newspaper, the Sarnia Observer, dared to supply some details. To wit:

The driver, not identified in the [CBSA] news release, was charged with importing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Harinder Singh, 28, of Brampton, was arrested Aug. 13 in Point Edward and charged with importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for trafficking, court records show.

Singh has appeared in court in Sarnia multiple times since his arrest, records show. The charges have not been tested in court.

"This significant seizure of cocaine demonstrates the professionalism and expertise of border services officers working at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry," said Michael Prosia, CBSA regional director general for southern Ontario, in the release. "Every day, they are working with law enforcement partners to secure Canada’s border and prevent harm in our communities."

Walt sez: Oh, hahahahahahahaha.

MUSIC VIDEO: from the LP "Music to Suffer By", by Leona Anderson

I don't believe we've ever postsed two music videos in a row, let alone three, but the news this week, ranging from ridiculous to depressing, is such that Walt just can't bear to write about it. It's time for an interlude!

Accordingly, we are pleased to present, from the library of rightly forgotten music, "Italian Street Song" from "Music to Suffer By", a 1957 LP by Leona Anderson. As you can read below, Ms Anderson was a star of the silent screen. When you listen to this, you'll know why her career faltered with the coming of "talkies".

 

Leona Anderson (née Aronson) was born on 3 April 1885 in St. Louis MO. She was the younger sister of Broncho Billy Anderson, who co-founded Essanay Studios in Chicago in 1907, for which company she appeared in several films, beginning in 1914, without much success.

In 1915, she appeared with Charlie Chaplin in the Essanay Studios comedy In the Park. In 1922, she starred opposite Stan Laurel in the comedy Mud and Sand, a spoof of the Rudolph Valentino film Blood and Sand.

In 1953, Ms Anderson revived her career in music, billing herself as "the world's most horrible singer". Who could argue with that? She became a favorite of comedian Ernie Kovacs and appearing several times on his TV show. Mr Kovacs' widow, Edie Adams, later recalled that "She (Anderson) knew she was camp, but she was very funny, and very sweet."

Discography: In 1953, Leona Anderson recorded a single, "Fish", for a small New York City record label. The song would later appear on the 1997 CD "The Ernie Kovacs Record Collection." This led Columbia Records to issue two singles by Anderson in 1954–55. This was followed by "Music to Suffer By" published by Unique Records in 1957, later reissued in 2011 on Trunk Records. 

"Music to Suffer By" featured Ms Anderson slaughtering several classics and standards, such as Georges Bizet's "Habanera" from Carmen and Cole Porter's "I Love Paris", as well as new material such as "Rats in My Room" and "Limburger Lover". By the late 1950s, she had become widely known for her bad singing, which was apparently an act she created to mock the pompous style of serious opera singers; "Opera singers just can't kid themselves properly," she said. "They can never let their voices go."

Leona Anderson came to Walt's attention and affection for her recording of the theme song for some of the Bob and Ray radio shows on WINS, New York. Yes, we have the video... well, the audio...

Leona Anderson's final film appearance was as the frightening Mrs. Slydes in the 1959 horror film House on Haunted Hill, starring Vincent Price and directed by the legendary William Castle. She died in Fremont CA in 1973, at the age of 88.
