Ed. tells you why...

Ed. here. Some readers, having noticed that there haven't been as many posts this month as usual, have expressed wonder about Walt's health. Let me reassure you. In spite of having a lot of hard miles on the chassis, Walt is in pretty good shape for the shape he's in. 

So why the occasional lacuna? There are two reasons. No. 1: It's gardening season. Plant in May and go away. Right? But arctic air coming down from northern Canada has held things up, so Walt is now in catch-up mode.

No. 2: Walt's getting old... really old... and just doesn't get as much done in a day/week/month/year as before. Agent 5, who has known Walt for donkey's years, has sent along this which pretty much sums up Walt's attitude these daze.

That's all ye know and all ye need to know. TTFN.

Your Sikhs today: Halifax NS edition - nothing to do with culture, shurely

First the facts, just the facts. Two people charged with concealing the body of a child and indignity to human remains appeared virtually in provincial court in Halifax NS today Monday. Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, are also charged with resisting a peace officer and obstruction of justice. 

The Crown prosecutor, Paul Carver, told the court "The mother of the deceased newborn is currently in critical condition and unresponsive in the hospital." He asked for a three-day adjournment because of the "potential for additional very serious charges under these circumstances." Mr Singh and Ms Kaur remain in custody pending a bail hearing on Thursday.

The charges stem from an urgent search and investigation over the weekend for a missing newborn baby, whose remains were eventually found in a wooded area in the Goodwood NS region. Halifax Regional Police said they were first called at around 9:40 p.m. Friday about a woman in life-threatening condition who "appeared to have just given birth." 

An extensive search was launched by police and Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue, who combed the area around an apartment building in Halifax’s Clayton Park neighbourhood. That search continued overnight and through Saturday. Police said remains were discovered Sunday afternoon in a wooded area off Old Coach Road, 6 miles from the initial search site.

Constable Martin Cromwell told reporters today that the initial call was made through 911, although he couldn’t say who made the call. The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance from an apartment on Willett Street; however, the baby was not located. 

Four people, all known to the woman, were initially taken into custody for questioning. Halifax police said two were released and Mr Singh and Ms Kaur were charged. Mr Singh is described as a "relative of the woman."

An autopsy will be held to determine the cause and manner of death. PC Cromwell said it's unclear whether the baby was born alive. He said the woman's condition is still very serious, and investigators haven't been able to speak to her. 

Comment from Google AI: Sex-selective abortion is a deeply rooted practice driven by a strong cultural preference for sons. It remains an acute issue in parts of South Asia, such as India, and persists among certain diaspora communities in Western countries, resulting in skewed male-to-female birth ratios.

Your Sikhs today: (mostly) Brampton ON edition

Here are photos of seven men Brampton ON police call the "For brothers network".

You'll see their bearded pusses again in this photo lineup of 17 miscreants.

They are: Iqbal Singh Bhagria, 25, of Brampton, Akashdeep Singh, 24, of Norval, Ravinder Singh, 25, of Surrey, BC, Jashanbir Singh, 21, of Surrey, BC, Dilawarpreet Singh, 26, of Brampton, Mandeep Singh, 21, of Brampton, Prabhdeep Sohal, 22, of Brampton, Partapbir Ghuman, 22, of Brampton, Ajaydeep Singh, 29, of Brampton, Navroop Singh, 24, of Brampton, Rajan Singh, 28, of Barrie, Amritjot Singh, 22, of Brampton, Jashanpreet Singh, 22, of Brampton, Guneet Guneet, 27, of Brampton,Sukhwinder Singh, 32, of Brampton, Mohinder Singh, 30, of Brampton and Gautam Gautam, 22, of Manteca, California. [How did that last one get in there? Ed.]

Apart from their beards, what do you suppose these 17 men have in common?.....I'm sure you're way ahead of us on this one but here's the answer. They are all Sikhs and all are originally from south Asia, or India, to be precise. [What happened to diversity being Canada's strength? Ed.]

Not much, and all accused by Peel Regional Police of being involved in the extortion of innocent business people -- mostly compatriots and co-religionists -- for cash as part of a "pay up or you pay the price" criminal enterprise.

In recent months 324 gunshots were fired into two dozen Peel residences or businesses. The 17 men just arrested face 106 criminal charges over 24 incidents, of which16 are linked to the "For Brothers" network. The charges include arson and multiple shootings, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, breaches of court orders, and drug-related offences. Police also seized six firearms, illicit drugs, cellphones, SIM cards and fraudulent IDs.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel police told the meeja "The organized criminal network is allegedly responsible for a series of targeted attacks against the Region of Peel's South Asian community. They are believed to have been active in Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, and British Columbia, with links to California." Sources say one of those charged -- Sukwinder Singh -- is also wanted in India for an attempted murder. 

Only two (count `em -- 2 out of 17) of the alleged perps are permanent residents of Canada. The others range from visitors to "temporary" workers.* Some are said to have already been kicked out of Canuckistan and many will also face deportation hearings. 

Brampton mayor Patrick Singh Brown commented, "Talk about a complete failure of border security when you have 17 (alleged) foreign criminals terrifying a community and committing violent acts. All should be deported yesterday. There is no way this should be allowed to happen." Duh, eh.

Of course a hearing doesn't guarantee deportation. A Sikh student of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving who took out most of a Saaskatchewan hockey team in a horrific crash some years ago is still in Canada, pleading to be allowed to remain "on humanitarian grouns". And, as reported in WWW passim, Sikh criminals have become adept in claiming asylum, saying their lives would be in danger if they were returned to the "Khalistan" which they love so dearly.

* Footnote: Tim Hortons, the iconic Canadian coffee 'n' donuts chain, today announced that it would be ending its use of the "temporary" foreign worker scheme, saying it was "no longer necessary."

Two funny signs in under a week!

Hard on the heels of this one comes this one, advertising a prominent property and insurance litigation practice based (we believe) in Houston TX.

Thanks and a tip of the fedora to Agent 34. Lang may yer lum reek!

Winning the war against fake news and the controlled media!

CBS News Radio (previously known as CBS Radio News), historically a part of the CBS Radio network, was a radio network that at its peak provided its version of the news to more than 1000 radio stations throughout the United States. 

Note Walt's use of the past tense. Yesterday evening, the network, owned by Paramount Skydance Corporation and its predecessors, pulled the plug... hit the kill switch... on CBS News Radio. So today we have two fewer woke, anti-Trump voices to tell us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes.

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! Other voices of the lickspittle media are teetering on the brink. Since the beginning of 2026, along with the cuts at CBS, the Washington Post also laid off a third of its staff. The Associated Press offered buyouts to over 120 journalists. And CBS parent company Paramount has also acquired the Clinton News Network, aka CNN.

Ted Johnson, politics and media editor for entertainment trade publication Deadline. opined that "all of these news sources have been kind of overshadowed by the growth of opinion voices, whether that's in podcasts or on cable news or in streaming. He did not explain why people have simply stopped listening to "legacy" news outlets.

Bill Bryson: Britain ideal place for Communism

Thirty years ago, in Notes From A Small Island, Bill Bryson, the most famous British writer ever to come from Des Moines IA, had this to say about the suitability of Not-so-great Britain for the Communist social experiment.

It has long seemed to me unfortunate...that such an important experiment in social organization [as Communism] was left to the Russians when the British would have managed it so much better. All those things that are necessary to the successful implementation of a rigorous socialist system are...second nature to the British. 

For a start, they like going without. They are great at pulling together, particularly in the face of adversity, for a perceived common good. 

They will queue patiently for indefinite periods and accept with rare fortitude the imposition of rationing, bland diets and sudden inconvenient shortages of staple goods, as anyone who has ever looked for bread at a supermarket on a Saturday afternoon will know. 

They are comfortable with faceless bureaucracies and, as Mrs. Thatcher proved, tolerant of dictatorships. They will wait uncomplainingly for years for an operation or the delivery of a household appliance. 

They have a natural gift for making excellent jokes about authority without seriously challenging it, and they derive universal satisfaction from the sight of the rich and powerful brought low. Most of those above the age of twenty-five already dress like [east Europeans]. 

The conditions, in a word, are right.

Roughly a year after Mr Bryson's highly recommendable book appeared, Sir Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Bliar ascended to the leadership of the Labour half of the Uniparty* and became Prime Minister of the Disunitede Kingdom. Evidently he had read the book, for he did his damndest to turn Britain, if not Red, then deep Pinko.

He failed, of course, because Margaret Thatcher had made it politically impossible to renationalize the steel industry, railways, etc., and not enough Third World migrants -- legal and otherwise -- had been "welcomed" to the green and septic isle to complete the transition to totalitarianism.

Fast forward to July of 2024 when British voters, having tired of a succession of feckless and inept "Conservative" governments, gave the Labourites 411 seats in a general election, whereupon the equally feckless and inept King Charles III invited Sir Keir Starmer (to be played in the movie by Sir Michael Palin) to form the next government and lead Britain down the People's Path to, errr... thingy... you know....

The Starmer government quickly set new records for incompetence, DEI, and geneeral wokeness in the face of common sense. Of 122 ministers appointed by the New Dear Leader, 18 have resigned, 1 has been dismissed, and 20 have left to spend more time with their families. [These figures are from Wikipedia, so should be taken cum grano salis. Ed.]

Given the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to show buyer's remorse, the British electorate gave Sir Keir's Labour Party (and, it must be said, the "Conservatives" as well) a rirhgt thrashing in a local elections bloodbath which saw it routed on English councils, and destroyed in Wales and Scotland. See *"Uniparty politics FAILS in UK...", WWW 10/5/26.

Does this mean that Bill Bryson was wrong? I think not. It's just that his timing was off. If Sir Keir can somehow cling to power through one more election [I'll take that bet. Ed.], he and his Pinko friends may yet reduce No-longer-great Britain to the level which prompted Mr Bryson to  write what he did. IMHO, Britain is fecked (as the Irish say) but I don't expect to be proven right until... maybe this fall!
