VIDEO: Michael Moore: Polls are wrong, Trump voters undercounted

Earlier today we posted a report from Australia's Sky TV in which the analysts predict Still-President Donald Trump could win Pennsylvania, because "Black Looters Matter". Readers who follow American politics [That would be everybody, this week! Ed.] will recall that Mr Trump won the Keystone State along with Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida, to become the 45th President of the Excited States of America.

What's that you say? There was another swing state that was important in the Trump victory? Ah yes. Michigan. Michael Moore predicted four years ago that the voters of his home state and the other Rust Belt states would send Donald Trump to the White House, and he has said the same thing, again, recently.

As recently as this morning, in fact, in an appearance on The Hill's Rising with Krystal & Saagar. In this short clip, he warns (?) Americans that polls showing Sleepy Joe Biden with a lead over Still-President Trump could be very wrong.

Mr Moore's stated intent (not included in this clip) is to warn those who want to defeat the President not to be complacent, to be sure to get out and vote. His unstated intent -- I'm speculating here -- is to make us Trump supporters complacent, confident that the polls are wrong again and The Donald is going to pull off another political miracle.

Don't bite, dear reader. As Michael Matt says (see "Featured Post" at right), "Go Trump or go lockdown!" If you haven't voted yet, go in person (preferred over trusting the USPS) to the polling place on November 3rd and do the right thing!

VIDEO: "Black Looters Matter": Aussie Sky News looks at Pennsylvania

These days you get more objective analysis of what's happening in the 2020 election from outside the Excited States of America than from the leftist controlled media within. Here's a hot-off-the-press report from Pennsylvania by Australia's Sky News.

 

Meanwhile in France: Muslim yells "Allahu akbar!" as 3 stabbed to death

Yes, there is a world outside the Excited States of America. It's not only the US of A that is struggling to combat the corona virus. Italy, Germany and France, even Canada, have all seen sharp spikes in the numbers of infections and deaths this week. Unlike in America, the people of those countries don't blame their heads of state/government for something which is clearly beyond their leaders' control.

Some countries have other things to worry about. Like France. The land of liberté, égalité et fraternité has a problem accommodating about 10% of its population who don't believe in those things. Yes, we're talking about the millions of Muslims -- immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers -- who have taken over large areas of French cities and towns, bent on turning them into replicas of the shitholes they came from.

In such places, the call to Islamic prayers is heard from the mosques five times a day, the call to kill infidels is whispered in gatherings of Islamic terrorists, and, all too often, shouts of "Allahu akbar!" are heard in the streets as "infidels" (non-Muslims) are murdered. 

Such was the case today in Nice, a toney seaside down on France's Mediterranean coast, and in the pleasant small city Avignon... where people dance on the bridge. [Walt refers to "Sur le pont d'Avignon". Ed.] English-speaking readers may send us a postcard. France has been struck by two Islamic terror attacks within hours of each other. 

Three people have been killed -- two by beheading -- in an attack inside a cathedral in Nice before a fanatical Muslim gunman was shot dead by police in Avignon. The first attack began around 0900 local time at Nice's Notre Dame cathedral, where a knifeman beheaded an elderly female parishioner and a male church warden, fatally stabbed a second woman and wounded several others before being shot and arrested by police.

Two hours later, a gunman threatened people on the streets of Avignon, 120 miles north of Nice, while shouting "Allahu Akbar!" The follower of the Prophet was shot dead by police before he could harm any infidels. In spite of the shouts, politically correct French authorities told Europe 1 only that an investigation has been opened. "Toutes les pistes sont envisagées," said Inspector Clouseau, "mais pour l'instant nous n'avons pas de caractère islamiste". Seriously?!

Christian Estrosi, the Mayor of Nice, was not so circumspect, telling BFM TV, "He cried 'Allah Akbar!' over and over, even after he was injured. The meaning of his gesture left no doubt." French Prime Minister Jean Castex, addressing l'Assemblée Nationale, said "Cette attaque aussi lâche que barbare endeuille le pays." ("This cowardly and barbarous attack leaves the country in mourning.")

Under Still-President Trump, the US of A has largely closed its doors to would-be immigrants, "refugees" and even visitors from majority Muslim countries. It's not Islamic extremists that are attacking Americans, burning their cities and looting their businesses, but anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-everything "mostly peaceful protesters" of the BLM/SJW/Antifa variety. Dear American reader, do you trust Old Joe Biden to put a stop to their cowardly and barbarous attacks? I don't!

Fear of Biden lockdown sends stock markets into nosedive

Got your life savings tied up in the stock market? Were you, like the US economy, doing just fine until the Co-virus hit? And now you're thinking you should have bought gold while you had the chance? Is that your problem, Bunky? 

Well, you're not alone. Global stocks tumbled today as coronavirus infections rose in Europe and North America, exacerbating fears of strict lockdowns that would damage already fragile economic recoveries. The CBOE Volatility Index , known as Wall Street's "fear gauge", surged to its highest level in nearly two months. Oil prices tumbled about 5%. 

Here's the bad news as I write, just coming up to high noon Eastern Time. The Dow is down nearly 850 points (over 3%). The TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) is down almost 350 points (over 2%), and Nasdaq also down nearly 350 points (over 3%). 

Everyone's afraid of a wide-ranging enforced lockdown, it seems. Rightly so. A major lockdown, coming just as things were starting to open up again, will kill businesses, small (your local diner) and big (think airlines). 

Who's promising such draconian measures, if elected? Old Joe Biden, that's who. Who says we don't need to do that? Still-President Trump, that's who! If you've got money in the market, govern yourself (read: vote!) accordingly!

VIDEOS: Tony Bobulinski tells Tucker Carlson about the corrupt Bidens

Here's something you won't see on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or the Clinton News Network. You may not even get a link to this video if you search for it on Google. Tony Bobulinski joins Tucker Carlson on Fox News to discuss his alleged dealings with Hunter and Joe Biden. What does Still-President Trump have to say about this? Sleepy Joe and his handlers say Mr Bobulinski's going public at this crucial time in the campaign for the presidensity is all part of the "Russian disinformation" plot to get Still-President Trump re-elected. Russia, Russia, Russia... it's always Russia. Do you believe that, dear reader? Millions of Americans are skeptical, and 1000s who voted early are now seeking to change their votes. Don't be fooled!

VIDEOS: Joe Biden's 47 years of lies

There's a point [albeit a small one. Ed.] to my poking fun at the Dumbocratic candidates. They may have the last laugh come November 3rd. And once Sleepy Joe is in office, it may become illegal to hold him or any of those who pull his strings up to ridicule. 

Anyhoo... as Still-President Trump never tires of pointing out, Mr Biden has lurked in the corridors of power for 47. His problems in getting his act together are nothing new. Here's a clip from one of Johnny Carson's opening monologues on the Tonight show, 16 September 1987, when Sleepy Joe was a mere senator.

   

Those tempted to vote for Obama's Vice-President because of his alleged experience in getting things done should remember: You can be in office for 47 years and get 47 years' experience, or you can get 1 year's experience 47 times!

What Johnny Carson is making fun of, here, is Joe Biden's tendency to lie, something he's been doing for... wait for it... 47 years. Here's the serious news report of Joe Biden's plagiarism of British Labour leader Neil Kinnock and Robert Kennedy, and his lies about his own brilliant career.

 

47 years of lying. You'd think by now he'd be better at it!

Another Wally award: Best AOC meme of 2020

Walt is a little shell-shocked today. Not because I live in Philthydelphia. I don't, thanks be to God. It's just the incessant Big Thunder of the lamestream barrage of lies about Still-President Trump and flak to distract our attention from the problems of the Bidens, père et fils, with black money and drugs. My mind is really reeling from the assault on my eyes and ears, and the insults to my intelligence. Dear reader, arentcha sick of it too?

Fortunately, there are pleasant distractions. The 2020 election has generated more snarky videos and memes than ever before, even more than the 2016 slugfest. I was going to wait until the dust settled before awarding the coveted Wally Award for Best Meme, but this one, seen today on Blazing Cat Fur, looks like a sure winner.

Dear American readers, don't forget, when you vote, the "brains" behind Sleepy Joe Biden's Green Plan to end fracking, "transition away from" oil, etc etc. Now we know where the ideas come from.

VIDEO: How the revolution of Vatican II serves the New World Order

The 2020 Catholic Identity Conference was held this past weekend in Pittsburgh. Emceed by Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, the conference included talks by Steve Bannon, Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States. Here is the videotaped address address -- his first since his sensational testimony of 2018 -- by Archbishop Viganò. 

In this hour-long talk, His Eminence talks about how the mainstream Roman Catholic Church has been taken over by Freemasons and secular humanists -- the ones Pope Paul VI called "the smoke of Satan" -- who entered the highest echelons of the Church at the time of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II). Gob bless you as you listen to the truth about the present crisis in the Catholic Church.

 

Let us pray: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil;l may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do othou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Tell me how gun control works?

Walt suggests there may be another reason why Maine is a much safer place than Chicago, but political correctness forbids me from discussing that. In any case, thanks to Agent 35.

Kamala Harris: about as Black as Barack Obama

Much is being made by the Dumbocrats and the running dogs of the liberal media about the supposed "Blackness" of Kamala Harris, the one hoping Joe Biden gets elected and then dies. But, as Walt has pointed out in "Parsing the blackness of Kamala Harris" (WWW 28/8/20), Ms Harris ain't all dat Black!

She is not the first "African-American" politician to be painted as more black than is the case. [I notice you restrained yourself from saying "touched with the tar brush". Ed.] Here's a short excerpt from Obama's America, by Dinesh D'Souza (Regnery 2012).

From the liberal side: he is the first African-American president. This is probably the most common way that Obama is understood. It is certainly the way that Obama biographer David Remnick understood him in his admiring book, The Bridge. Yet there are others who insist that Obama is not really black. That's because he never sat at a segregated lunch counter, nor are any of his ancestors descended from slaves.

This is in sharp contrast with Michelle Obama, who traces her roots back to a Carolina slave plantation. Her husband, however, grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia with multiple visits to Kenya, Indonesia and Pakistan. By his own achowledgment, he didn't live the typical Black American experience.

Interestingly, as president, Obama has shown virtually no interest in black issues, from affirmative action to hate crimes to inner-city poverty. He ignores those issues, raising the hackles of black activists like Tavis Smiley, Ishmael Reed, Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West.

Reed charges, "It's obvious by now that Barack Obama is treating black Americans like one treats a demented uncle, brought out from his room to be ridiculed and scolded before company from time to time." West contends that Obama "doesn't care about the black poor.... His policies are generating misery amongst poor people, disproportionately black and brown." West terms Obama's policies "the new Jim Crow."

Let's see. "Ancestors descended from slaves": not in Ms Harris' family tree. "Never sat at a segregated lunch counter": nope, nor any other lunch counter, probably. And as a state prosecutor in California, she usually sat on the other side of the courtroom from the black folks. Walt, along with all those black activists, can hardly wait for Kamala Harris to expound at length on how she has "lived the typical black American experience."

"Pandemics, race riots are part of the price we pay for having big cities"

The headline is adapted from a line in "The City is Killing America: America's real problem are urban problems", by Daniel Greenfield, in Frontpage Mag, 21/10/20. Mr Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

In this lengthy and thoughtful article, Mr Greenfield traces the rise of American cities, and their problems, from the early days through the Civil War and the industrial age into the urban decay and despair which blight the once-great cities of todays Disunited States.

He concludes that cities like New York and San Francisco, not to mention Seattle and Portland -- all of them run by Democrats -- are the breeding grounds and incubators for pandemics (Covid-19 is just one) and "mostly peaceful protests" (read: race riots) which are destroying America, literally.

The photos above were taken in Seattle in June. 46 more can be found in "Seattle Riot: 46 devastating photos of Downtown destruction, vandalism", a photo gallery posted on mynorthwest.com, 1/6/20. By why pick on Seattle? Google images for Chicago, Buffalo, Newark, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Boston or virtually any US city, especially those on the "blue coasts".

And then there's Detroit. You may remember seeing "Quiz: Which American city has been occupied 3 times by the US Army?" on WWW 3/12/19. Walt shared a positive review of Detroit: An American Autopsy, by Charlie LeDuff, Penguin Press, 2013, along with just two of the excellent photos to be found in an excellent photo essay at the end of that book. It's depressing but compelling reading.

Mr Greenfield writes: Pandemic maps of the death toll show the deaths concentrating around major cities before making the slow trek from urban into suburban and eventually rural areas. The urban lockdowns didn’t stop the spread of the virus. What they really did was trap poor and middle class residents in urban areas, while the wealthy fled, and the virus spread to urbanites with the least mobility.

The people with the worst immune systems, in the densest living conditions, and the least ability to get up and leave, suffered the most, from nursing home patients to minorities with large families. The general pattern was historically familiar from the Middle Ages, and the only thing that our public health experts proved is that they weren’t any smarter than medieval peasants.

But the coronavirus is an urban problem and all the official solutions to it are urban solutions. And the urban problems and their solutions are killing us and taking down the whole country.

Urbanization has become a pyramid scheme taking over entire states, while hollowing out the more conservative rural areas, turning red states blue, and leaving everyone except those at the top of the pyramid scheme poorer with each generation.

America is no longer divided between the old geographies of North and South, but the new geographies of density, between cities and their suburbs, and rural areas and small towns. The latter represent the old American communities, while the former showcase the new feudal order in which great suburban wealth and urban poverty combine into radical political alignment. 

That’s the so-called “resistance”, not by the disempowered, but by the politically privileged....

The urban model hasn’t worked for America in sixty years. The pandemic has put it on the verge of collapse as the wealthy industries that made cities their base flee into virtual workspaces. It’s time to rethink and defund cities as the hubs of our economy and our nation....

Envisioning a less dense and more open country will heal many of our social and economic ills. Urban areas have concentrated political radicalism and blight. Universities have become their own radical cities. Municipalities have built networks of crony companies around themselves. Density has destroyed communities and families while depriving people of a meaningful life.

Reducing immigration can slow down population growth to sustainably match our economy and replacing cities with communities can allow our society to heal from its urban wounds. America was built around communities, not cities. It can be rebuilt around communities again.

The city is too big to fail and that means that the country is dying of its failures. We can either keep the city alive at the cost of the country, or let the city fail so that the country can live.

"British" man convicted of having sex with chickens, not all of them alive

Every now and then we get a bestiality story, usually involving large quadrupeds, like donkeys. This year it's (as John Cleese would say) "something completely different." This story appeared Monday in the Sun, a British tabloid. We're sure they didn't intend to incite hatred or contempt for any identifiable group of people, nor to disgust members of PETA and other animal lovers. 

A depraved "British" man has been jailed for three years for having sex with chickens, even after he killed them, while his wife filmed it for their "family vids". 

Rehan Baig, 37, was busted after a tipster told the British National Crime Agency that he had child porn, after which Inspector Knacker found "a number of indecent images of children" at his home in Bradford, according to Crown Prosecutor Abigail Langford.

She told Bradford Crown Court, "Also located among the devices interrogated were moving images showing the defendant engaging in penetrative sexual intercourse with a number of chickens. The defendant caused the death of the chickens on each occasion."

One of the videos even showing Baig having sex with one of the animals in his basement after it had died. Mr Baig's wife, Haleema, filmed him with a phone and GoPro, and the clips (which also included abuse of a dog) were kept in a file called "family vids". The prosecutor told the sentencing hearing that Mrs Baig was a "willing participant", and was "heard to make sexual encouraging remarks towards the defendant and engages in sexual intercourse with him."

Judge Richard Mansell called the "depraved, perverted and despicable" acts "beyond comprehension," saying they would make anyone "sick to the stomach." He told the accused he was guilty of "unspeakable cruelty to the animals he abused for his own sexual gratification," saying that the "pain and suffering was horrific."

Mr Baig was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting three counts of intentionally performing an act of penetration on live chickens, as well as possessing extreme pornographic images, making indecent photographs of children and possessing cocaine and cannabis resin. He was also banned for life from keeping any animal and he must be on the sex offender register for life. 

Mrs Baig pleaded guilty to three aiding and abetting counts for filming her husband. She was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months, during which she must get rehabilitation. Despite prosecutors calling her a "willing participant", her defence team insisted she was coerced by an abusive husband whom she has since left.

In keeping with the British Code of Fair Play and Political Correctness, the court was told nothing about the ethnicity or religion of the loving couple, nor about their status in the Disunited Kingdom. Walt accepts that the abhorrent actions of two people should not be allowed to reflect badly on the majority of South Asian Muslim immigrants, who are undoubtedly decent, honest people of which type Britain needs 1000s more.

Further reading: Florida Republican hopeful Laura Loomer called Islam "a cancer on humanity". Click here to read her interview with Britain's Daily Mail, 20/10/20, in which she tells how she was banned From Twitter, PayPal and Uber, and had her bank account frozen. Such is the price of political incorrectness.

Vatican breaks the First Commandment. What next??!!

There's a joke circulating amongst Traditional Catholics that Jorge Bergoglio (the man some call "Pope Francis") gets out of bed every morning and, religiously, says three stupid things before breakfast. It's not funny, really, but it's close to the truth. We never know how mild or how awful will be the latest pronouncement or the latest "reform" instituted by the so-called "Holy Father".

Last week, though, the Holy See (the city state known as the Vatican, of which Pope Bergoglio is absolute ruler) outdid itself in its capacity to shock and dismay even the modernist Catholics who are gorging on the poisoned fruit of Vatican II. The Vatican issued a new 10-euro coin featuring an image of Pachamamma, the Amazonian pagan goddess whose idol Francis enthroned in St. Peter's Archbasilica a year ago, alongside statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Traditional Vatican coins used to feature the images of Christ, Mary, the Saints, or popes. Not any more! This image on this one is clearly modelled on the carving of the pagan fertility goddess which was trotted out for adoration by the credulous during the failed Amazon Synod of October 2019.

Pachamamma, as the idol is called, shows the goddess pregnant with the orb of the world. She fits right in with Pope Bergoglio's 2015 encyclical Laudato si', which treats the earth as a pagan goddess (Gaia) and even proposes a hymn to her. 

Walt dares to suggest that it's time for Francis to reread (if he has read it even once), Chapter 20 of Exodus, in which God, through the prophet Moses, gives us the Ten Commandments by which he bids us live. This is the first:

I am the Lord, thy God... Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to theyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them. (Exodus 20:1-5 DRV)

When Pachamamma idol was brought to Rome following the Synod, a courageous Austrian youth who was rightly offended by the open display of paganism threw the idol into the River Tiber. Some priests were so scandalized that they publicly burned the idol. 

Dear readers, this is just further evidence (if more were needed) that Pope Bergoglio and his "church of accompaniment" have gone way beyond Protestantism and even humanism, towards a paganism more redolent of the Hinduism and Buddhism which Francis openly praises. For the sake of our eternal souls, let us not follow him.

Dr Marshall says he's "not getting on the Pacha train" and references the idolatry brought into the church by Pope John Paul XXIII, before going to discuss Francis' latest unCatholic screed.

VIDEO: Believe it or not, Canada has a conservativ(ish) news channel!

In North America, TV news and information programming -- on cable/satellite and over-the-air -- is pretty much the domain of the lamestream media. In the Excited States of America, if you want to listen to the news, you're pretty much in the thrall of the Big Three: NBC, CBS and ABC. On cable you get the additional "choices" of CNN (the Clinton News Network) and MSNBC (even worse). 

All of them, all of them broadcast "news" and opinions ranging across the political spectrum from left(ish) to far left to Rachel Maddow. We can include as well the talk shows populated by sufferers from TDS like The View's Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.

If you're an American of a conservative mind or political bent, and think the lamestream news outlets are full of shit, and would like an alternative, your only choice is Fox, but you'll have to wait until The Simpsons and Family Guy are over.

If you're one of the 30 million or so Canadians who live within 100 miles of the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM), you might be able to pull in some US stations over the air, and you can watch all of them on cable/satellite. But you won't find any Canadian news there unless someone makes an attempt on Hair Boy's life. [Would the lamestream media notice? Ed.]

If you can't or won't watch American TV, you still have the Canadian Broadcorping Castration (CBC), owned and operated by the Canadian Ministry of Truth. There are two other major networks -- CTV and Global -- which generally toe the Liberal party line. But wait! Suddenly a new news outlet has appeared in the ether, and... can you believe it... they seem to be at least somewhat conservative! Here's the trailer for The News Forum "where all voices matter".  

Yes, they're new and (mostly) not broadcast professionals. Some of them still don't know which camera to look at. There are some, like Tony "Gazebo" Clement, Joe Oliver and their ole boss, Lyin' Brian Mulroney, who will be instantly disliked by Canadians who know their back stories. But then there's Tanya Granic Allen, for whom Agent 3 (who sent us the link to this video) has all the time in the world. Walt agrees and commends The News Forum to you, but not without reservation. See "Warning from Agent 3", below.

Ed. here. On reading V.1 of this post, Agent 3 called to warn us to restrain our enthusiasm for The News Forum. He says: Don't kid yourself (he adds) that you're going to see and hear truly conservative opinions there. The new medium is dominated by former and present Members of the Canadian Parliament who were elected as Conservatives, or, in the case of former Prime Minister Mulroney, Progressive Conservatives. Lyin' Brian actually appears in a promo spot saying that Canuckistan needs more immigrants! 

What you're going to hear on The News Forum is the centre-right (more centre than right) Conservative Party line, as enunciated by new leader Erin O'Tool, and MPs Pierre Poilievre and Dean Allison... but not Derek Sloan, the "Conservative Without Apology" who finished last in the CPC's recent leadership contest. 

And don't expect appearances by Maxime Bernier, Ezra Levant, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, Gavin McInnes, Mark Steyn or Mike from Simcoe-Grey County-Clearview Township. As "Mad Max" said a few weeks ago in "Is there any hope for conservatives in Canada?", his People's Party of Canada is the only truly conservative party in the Great Not-so-white North.

"Allahu akbar!" in Paris - second Islamic terrorist attack in three weeks

I've been concentrating on American politics and the 2020 election, so didn't get around to posting this story until today, but thought I'd better do so in case you missed it.

With the trial of the Islamic terrorists who perpetrated the massacre at the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo under way, attacks by mad Muslims have become so commonplace that it's possible to conflate them. Don't. Last week's murder of an innocent schoolteacher was the second in three weeks. Expect more.

Here's the story. On Friday, Samuel Paty, a history teacher, was killed in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris. He was beheaded. Decapitated. Had his head severed from his body.

The perpetrator, shot dead by police soon after the atttack, has been identified just today as Aboulakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old "refugee" from Chechnya, a part of the Russian Federation located in the North Caucasus. It should be noted that Chechnya is predominantly Muslim, and Islamic terrorism is a persistent problem for the Russians.

French authorities figure the unnamed teen was the one who did the deed because he posted on social media a photo of the victim and a text claiming responsibility. The investigating prosecutor said these were found on the suspect's phone. He also confirmed that a Twitter account under the name "Abdoulakh A" [not "Mohammed"? Ed.] belonged to the suspect. That's where a photo of the decapitated head was posted minutes after the attack, along with the message, "I have executed one of the dogs from hell who dared to put Muhammad down."

Aha! There's the motive! Police officials say M Paty's discussion with his class of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed had led to threats. The teenager had approached pupils in the street and asked them to point out his victim, they said. The suspect had been seen at the school asking students about the teacher, and the school's headmaster had received several threatening phone calls.

According to police, the suspect's half-sister joined the Islamic State group in Syria in 2014. They didn't give her name, and apparently don't know where she is now. However, in the classic French ploy of rounding up the usual suspects (see Casablanca), the anti-terrorism prosecutors have now arrested nine suspects, including the teen's grandfather, parents and 17-year-old brother.

French President Emmanual Macron is usually painfully politically correct about these things, so I'll give him full marks this time for denouncing, while visiting the school Friday night, what he called an "Islamist terrorist attack." He urged the nation to stand united against extremism. 

Said M Le Président, "One of our compatriots was murdered today because he taught...the freedom of expression, the freedom to believe or not believe." 

Walt's thought for the day: Standing up for freedom of expression seems like a good idea to me. Of course no-one in North America is going to be beheaded for doing so... right? Not by Muslims, anyway. See "Conservatives staging free speech rally attacked by critics" (read: Antifa), APNews, 18/10/20.

VIDEO: Trailer for "Trump Card", by Dinesh D'Souza & Bruce Schooley

The Dempanic has resulted in the closure of almost all the cinemas ["movie theaters" to Americans. Ed.] in a hundred-mile radius of Walt's cabin in the pines. Even if they were open, I'm guessing they wouldn't be showing Trump Card. Written by Dinesh D'Souza and directed by Mr D'Souza and Bruce Schooley, it's an informative, provocative and thrilling documentary exposé of the ideas but also the tactics of the socialist left. Here's the trailer.

   

Dear American readers, I urge you to watch Trump Card if you can find it showing anywhere. It's a horrific vision of the future of America, as described in "The American Nightmare: Go Trump or go lockdown!", Michael Matt's latest video, posted here earlier today. This is what you can look forward to... guaranteed... if you don't go to the polls (don't trust your ballot to the USPS!) and do the Right Thing. God save the United States of America!

VIDEO: Fr. Ed Meeks: 5 things Catholics should know about Joe Biden

Father Ed Meeks is a Catholic priest of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, and the founding pastor of Christ the King Church in Towson MD. After many years as a priest of the Charismatic Episcopal Church, and then the Anglican Church in America, Fr. Meeks was ordained a Roman Catholic priest on 23 June 2012.

Excerpts from Fr Meeks' homily (11/10/20) on the issues of the 2020 election and Catholics' civic responsibilities are featured by Michael Matt in his video "The American Nightmare: Go Trump or go lockdown!", reposted here a few minutes ago.

 

It requires great courage for a Catholic priest to speak out against the liberal establishment, especially now when that liberal secular humanist establishment has, as its chaplain, none other than the Marixst Jorge Bergoglio, whom some still call "Pope Francis". Fr Meeks' warning should be taken to heart not just by Catholics, but by patriotic Americans of all faiths.

Just released this evening! Michael Matt, Editor of The Remnant newspaper, discusses the rapidly deteriorating situation in what he calls "the People's Republic of Canada". (Walt's term is "Canuckistan"). The Canadian sheeple, who have drunk deep from Mr Socks' chalice of liberal progressive Koolaid, are already getting used to the idea of checkpoints on their highways and "isolation camps" (read: gulags) for those who won't wear their masks and generally obey Big Brother's rules.

Mr Matt says the Paranoid States of America (that's Walt's term too) is not far behind. Dr Fausus ["Fauci", shurely. Ed.] is calling for Thanksgiving to be cancelled, and it appears the US of A is about to experience the Dempanic lockdown all over again, only this time with President Joe "Lockdown" Biden shaky hand on the tiller. Is this an election (Mr Matt asks), or is it the launch of a New World Order?

VIDEOS: Conservatives! Vote for truly conservative candidates!

How I wish Canadian conservatives would figure out how to unite the right! Canada doesn't have a two-party system, like the Excited States of America.

Since the Dirty Thirties it has had third and fourth parties of the (somewhat) left (the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and it successor, the No-longer-new Democrats) and the right (Social Credit). More recently the federal Parliament has seen members elected from the Parti Québécois, which then became the Bloc Québécois, and the self-styled Green Party, both of them left (and really left) of centre.

Canada's quasi-conservatives, who after WWII styled themselves "Progressive Conservatives" -- an oxymoron if there ever was one -- saw the more conservative of their number split away from the "Red Tories" to form the Reform Party, which then merged with what was left of the PCs to form the Canadian Alliance which then restyled itself the Conservative Party. Got it?

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more. In their 2017 leadership contest, the Conservatives rejected the truly conservative candidate, Maxime Bernier, and chose a nebbish named Andrew Scheer. "Mad Max" went off in a huff (or a minute-and-a-huff) and formed his own People's Party of Canada, who drew off just enough votes from the Conservatives to rob them of what should have been an easy victory against Mr Socks' ultra-Liberals.

One of the leading lights of the People's Party of Canada was (note past tense) Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, a very personable and dynamic woman who has been seen speaking up for conservative Christian values in a number of videos posted here on WWW. (Click on the tag to see those posts.) Just this Sunday, in my post about Twitter's censorship of Republican Senate hopeful Lauren Witzke, I asked if anyone else noticed the resemblance between Ms Witzke and Ms Thompson. And noooo, it's not that I can't tell one attractive blonde lady from another. Lauren and Laura-Lynn are saying the same things! 

Imagine my surprise then when, just today, I discovered this video in which Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson identifies herself as leader the the Christian Heritage Party of British Columbia!

   

There will be a provincial election in Canada's Lalaland any day now, and Ms Thompson is standing for election in the riding of Abbotsford South. If she succeeds, she will be the first member of the Christian Heritage Party ever elected to any Canadian legislature, let alone the House of Commons. Here's a longer video in which she talks about why she's running, and about racism and "white privilege". Listen up, Americans! This applies to you... in spades!

 

I wish Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson well and encourage British Columbians to vote for her (in Abbotsford South) or other Christian Heritage Party candidates in the rest of the province. Right now, the CHP is the only conservative party in BC. 

And that's the problem in the Great No-longer-white North. There is no truly conservative party in the Parliament of Canuckistan. As Max Bernier says in "Is there any hope for conservatives in Canada?" (WWW 2/9/20), The NDP and the Greens prop up the corrupt Liberal government in Ottawa. The leftists are united in everything but name, while the conservatives attack each other. 

It's high time that Canadians [and Americans! Ed.] who cherish the values on which their country was built got together behind one truly conservative party.

VIDEO: "Today the Church of Rome finds itself in...spiritual collapse"

That's not Walt speaking, nor even our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. That's the Most Rev. Athanasius Schneider, the auxiliary Bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan. Bishop Schneider gave a lengthy interview to The Remnant in which he discussed, amongst other things, Fratelli Tutti, the latest encyclical issued by Jorge Bergoglio, who some still call "Pope Francis".

In this short(ish) video, John-Henry Westen, of LifeSite News, presents the highlights of the interview. Bishop Schneider joins the chorus of traditional Catholics dismayed by Francis' apparent interest in worldly affairs, rather than the salvation of souls. Fratelli Tutti is all about the brotherhood of man (as the Freemasons say!), with barely a passing reference to God or His Son. Bishop Schneider says the encyclical "lacks a clearly supernatural horizon."

Listen and learn more about the things Francis says which aren't Catholic at all, but a big steaming load of new-age, one-world, secular humanist... nonsense.

1000s attend Trump FL rally, crickets heard at Biden rallies

 Still-President Trump and President-Wannabe Biden are out on the hustings. The polls that the lamestream media chooses to publish are said to show Mr Biden with a comfortable lead -- 10 points or so -- over POTUS. But the pollsters have been wrong before... about four years ago, as I recall.

Think about it. If you were walking down the street and some dude with a clipboard stopped you and asked you how you intended to vote, would you say "I'm gonna vote for Trump," knowing that the response would be, "OK, I'll put you down as a racist redneck, then, because that's what all Trump supporters are."

Same thing with those stupid "man-on-the-street" bits that the major networks do. They take their cameras with the CNN/MSNBC/ABC/BBC/CBC logos and train them on the denizens of places like Teaticket MA and Lick Fork VA [You can look those up. Ed.] while a "reporter" in collar-and-tie asks "Who are you going to vote for, hillbilly person?" What answer would you give, standing there with your thumbs hooked in the straps of your bib overalls?

If you want to know what's going on in your neighbourhood, take a look at the lawn signs. Where I come from, the number of lawn signs per candidate is a pretty accurate indicator of which way the vote is going to go. And if you live in a state in which there's a Senate race, don't just count the Trump and Biden signs. Which party controls the Senate is going to be very important this time around, especially if Sleepy Joe wins the Presidensity and tries to pack SCOTUS.

It's also worth checking out the crowds at campaign events. Clips of President Trump's rally in Florida on Monday showed 1000s of cheering supporters. On the same day, former Vice-President Biden spoke to what was billed as a "drive-in rally for union workers and supporters" in Toledo OH. At left is a photo of part of the "crowd".

But (I hear you say), surely that's just a close-up of a few people. There must have been more than that! Indeed so. A longer shot which somehow wasn't edited out of the news report on the CBC (aka CNN North) showed a parking lot filled with literally dozens of cars! 

And remember, this was a union-organized event. The Dumbocrats are great friends of the unions, eh, and vice versa. By the way, the IBEW was accused repeatedly, back in the 50s, of being, if not outright Communists, at least fellow-travellers.

The week before, Mr Biden appeared in Arizona, with his running mate, the well-known Indo-Jamaican-American Kamala Harris, for what was supposed to be a major campaign event in Phoenix. Here's a screen shot of KSAZ-TV reporter Nicole Garcia describing the scene -- not a single person in sight!

"Not a lot of fanfare out here," said Ms Garcia reported. "There's really not much to see. I'll step out of the way, but it's kinda boring out here. So, it's not your typical presidential campaign event; we don't see people rallying outside, we don't see signs or really much of what's going on."

According to the Washington Standard, the cameraman panned behind Ms Garcia during her report, revealing nothing and nobody save a lone police car. When the reporter contacted the Biden campaign about the lack of fanfare and supporters, Sleepy Joe's team claimed details about the event were not widely publicized because of the coronavirus.

Ms Garcia said "I'm told by one of the local Biden staffers is that they kinda kept the details about the visit, as far as the timing and the exact locations, they didn't really want to give that out to the public, because they want to keep the crowds to a minimum." So everything went according to plan, then.

"Pretty much all the people that we saw enter into the parking lot about 45 minutes ago were with the Biden/Harris campaign and the pool reporters," Ms Garcia explained. "So, you would expect to see... I mean, this is a pretty big event for the two of them to be campaigning together for the first time since the Democratic National Convention. Here in Arizona, our state has established itself as a battleground state, and so this is technically a big event, but not a lot of fanfare."

Sez Walt: the polls may say one thing, sez Walt, but if you keep your eyes open, you can see the truth.

VIDEO: What was Bill Burr doing on "Saturday Night Live"?

Walt doesn't watch Saturday Night Live for obvious reasons -- there's enough anti-Trump propaganda on the news -- so was mildly surprised that they had Bill Burr on this weekend. I wondered if BB would dilute the vitriol in his usual routine to suit the tastes (read: prejudices) of SNL's New York liberal producers... and audience. Here's what happened.

   

Seemed to me that Mr Burr stayed more or less true to form. But so did the audience. He was dying out there! The American people -- those on the coasts, anyway -- are so woke that nothing is funny any more. Everything must be taken seriously, so you can't rag on gay pride, white women, "wokeness" or any of the liberal shibboleths and expect to not be the next victim of the cancel culture. 

One of our assiduous readers commented, "I find the whole drift into swearing, open sex, and incorrectness sad." Maybe our reader never listened to one of Bill Burr's monologues before, but I have to tell you, this wasn't your normal Big Balls Billy speaking. Compared with something like "The Philadelphia Incident", he toned his act down for lamestream TV. 

Even so, the usual suspects dropped the shithammer on him for being insensitive, politically incorrect, yada yada yada. But "Being furious about Bill Burr's caustic comedy is a waste of time", as the Globe and Mail's John Doyle wrote yesterday. For those who can't or won't punch through the paywall, here's part of his review.

Bill Burr...opts for that old-fashioned stance of reason over passion. Some comics are enraged by what they call "cancel culture" and deliberately provoke in order to push boundaries and buttons. Burr simply takes the view that, as he sees it, sensitivity issues have gone too far. He's a 52-year-old white guy, married to a Black woman, he tells jokes and acts for a living, and he's skeptical about a lot of things.

It's easy to take Burr's jokes out of context, string them together and paint a picture of him as a misogynist jerk. In a recent interview, he said, "Comedy is a pastime. The pastime is making fun of something you're not supposed to make fun of because that gives you a mental break from all the taxing crap you have to do. Not everything has to be important."

Bill Burr: Paper Tiger, taped at the Royal Albert Hall in London, is the most recent and a fascinating example of Burr's tactics, and it's especially trenchant because he's not talking to an American audience in the venue. He gets busy mocking feminism, the #MeToo movement and Michelle Obama.

Paper Tiger is where he is now. He's like someone who shed the straitjacket of insecurity about his role and his humour. He's not aiming to demolish the current culture of outrage and sensitivity. He sees it for what it is, a movement that sometimes puts passion over reason and his lived experience tells him to be skeptical. He's nobody's enemy and he's no destroyer. He's just saying that everything is flawed, including him.

Couldn't have said it better myself. [You can say that again. Ed.] I hope Bill Burr keeps talking. It's so good to hear someone say what so many of us are thinking, and if the "woke" types don't like it, that't too [expletive deleted. Ed.] bad!

VIDEO: "Savage Messiah" Jordan Peterson talks with Dennis Prager

Everyone who knows him, or has even listened to him with an open mind, stands in awe of Dr Jordan Peterson. Some, Walt included, would hesitate to enter into conversation with him. If you say something stupid, he will correct you, politely. If you insult him, he will put you down, not so politely. Such is the force of his personality and thought.

Who is psychologist, professor, best-selling author, and YouTube personality Dr. Peterson? What does he believe in? Who are his followers? And why is he so controversial? Jim Proser answers those questions in Savage Messiah (St Martin's Press 2019). 

The book, which I recommend highly, is a compelling, exhaustively researched account of Dr Peterson's life, from his early days as a student in the remote Peace River country of northwestern Canada to his tenure at Harvard to his headline-making persona of the present day.

Here is a (slightly edited) quote from the forward by Dr Dennis Prager, cofounder of Prager University.

As a result of his remarkable ability to intellectually, rationally and coolly respond to hostile interviewers the world over, [Dr Peterson] became an international sensation, particularly among young people.

No generation in modern history has been deceived by their elders as much as the past two generations have, especially in the English-speaking countries.... If the people who present reality to you -- most particulazrly your teachers and the news and entertainment media -- tell you the Earth is flat, why would you assume it is round?

....So when an obviously decent, honest, erudite intellectual came along and spoke to them about good and evil, about meaning in life, and how to be a more fulfilled and ultimately happier person, millions of them responded with enthusiasm....

The subtitle of this biography is "How Dr. Jordan Peterson Is Saving Western Civilzation". It is not overstated. That is how important Jordan Peterson's life and work are.

To understand why Mr Prager is so impressed, check out this colloquy between the two at the 2019 PragerU summit. Well worth listening to for the entire 54 minutes. 

 

Want more? Among the many people impressed by Jordan Peterson is John Anderson, a conservative Australian (former) politician. He spent 19 years in the Australian Parliament, serving as a senior cabinet minister, leader of the National Party and Deputy Prime Minister. He has interviewed Dr Peterson a number of times on his Conversations TV programme. Click here to see the full conversation (1 hr 24) in which Dr Peterson's talks about his "12 Rules for Life".

VIDEO: Walt's Top Ten Patriotic Songs

Patriotism seems to have fallen out of fashion these days, and nationalism is downright politically incorrect. We are all part of the "global community of nations" (aka "one world"), and must embrace globalism and the concept of the "post-national state". Right? 

Well, I call bullshit on that! I am proud of my home and native land, and happy to wave the flag and sing the national anthem on suitable occasions, or even just for the pleasure of it.

I get the chance to do that, every now and then, when I go with Poor Len to a hockey game between teams from both sides of the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM). More than once, Len and I have debated which national anthem -- The Star-Spangled Banner or Ô Canada -- is best. We argue this as music-lovers, looking at as singability and "ear appeal", but also as patriots, thinking about the song's emotive qualities. 

We allow, though, that even in these days of globalism triumphant, there are 100s of patriotic songs which rouse feelings of national pride (and sometimes anger and the urge to kill) in people from Albania to Zimbabwe. Even our own countries -- Poor Len's and Walt's [and Ed.'s! Ed.] -- have more than one such soul-stirring song. With that in mind, I present my highly subjective list of the Top Ten Patriotic Songs from around the world, with links to videos of each.

I must begin with a couple of honourable mentions. Many (perhaps most) of our American readers will be distressed to find The Star-Spangled Banner absent from the list. It is omitted because it memorializes a battle fought over 200 years ago [which most Americans probably can't name. Ed.] in the first war that the US of A didn't win. Worse, it's just not good music. It's difficult to sing, and the hack job done on it by "singers" at sports events isn't entirely their fault.

Nor is Dixie on the list. I love what that song stands for, but it's just a folk song -- a music-hall ballad in fact -- not the sort of martial music which makes you want to kill or be killed for the cause. (If you're not sure what I mean, check out No. 7 on my list.) And Dixie is just as hard to sing as The Star-Spangled Banner.

Some Canadians will be dismayed that I haven't included The Maple Leaf Forever. The music isn't particularly good, and the lyrics reference the same war as that mentioned in my note about The Star-Spangled Banner. The main problem with The Maple Leaf Forever, though, is that it appeals only to the British-Canadian monarchists -- the "Colonel Blimp" types who think the Union Jack should still be part of the Canadian flag. Poor Len wouldn't wave dat flag, and he wouldn't sing dat song either!

Now the list.

10. Die Stem - National Anthem of South Africa from 1947 to 1994. Mediocre music, but if you admire the pioneer spirit and the idea of other people leaving you alone to live your life as you please, you have to love this one.

9. Deutschland über alles - I know, I know. But it's good music, and the tune (code-named "Austria", but really Joseph Haydn's "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser") is still to be found in both Catholic and Protestant hymnals. [A Nazi-era version of this has been removed from YouTube... consigned to the memory hole. Let that be a lesson. Ed.] 

8. March of the Volunteers - the National Anthem of Communist China.  It says "Qilai! Qilai! Qilai!" ("Arise! Arise! Arise!") You'd stand up ("volunteer") too, if you had a bayonet poking you in the back. Good music though. Short, too. 

7. La Marseillaise - "Let the blood of foreigners overflow your gutters!" I love it. But as I said yesterday, such feelings are no longer PC in France. How about a barbershop quartet version?

6. God Bless America - There are lots of great American patriotic songs -- America the Beautiful, My Country `Tis Of Thee, Columbia Gem Of The Ocean -- but  my favourite is this short, easy-to-sing Tin Pan Alley gem, as sung by Kate Smith.

5. Tomorrow Belongs To Me - Not a "real song", but composed for the musical Cabaret. If the Germans get over their guilt complex and start singing it for real, look out!

4. Land of Hope and Glory - The theme song for "Queen for a Day". [You're dating yourself. Ed.] OK, seriously... National anthems asking for God's blessing on a king or dictator are passé. What is wanted is a song praising one's country and people. Sir Edward Elgar's music and A.C. Benson's words are the de facto anthem of England (not Britain). Nana Mouskouri is my all-time favourite female vocalist. 

3. Ô Canada - Good music, easy to sing, but the English lyrics keep changing for reasons of political correctness. The French lyrics, including the part about carrying the cross and the sword (!) are unchanged and great! The typically Canadian compromise at Montréal hockey games is to sing the first half in French and the the rest in English. 

2. The Internationale - Not a national anthem, but an international anthem, that of Comintern, the Communist Party International. It has been used from time to time as an alternate anthem for the Soviet Union and Communist China. Excellent tune -- a real ear-worm -- and stirring words about standing up and throwing off your chains, yada yada yada. I like this performance by a Chinese army orchestra and chorus.

1. Lupang Hinirang - National Anthem of the Republic of the Philippines. Easy to sing, with lyrics in English and Spanish as well as Tagalog. I've chosen this version, with its capsule history of the Filipino struggle for independence, to show why I think it encapsulates everything that a patriotic song should be.

Dear readers... Wave whatever flag you like, sing whatever song you like, but, always and everywhere, stand up for your country!

Latest from the Babylon Bee + Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Click here to read the article, in your trusted source for Christian new satire.

Walt is reliably informed (thanks, Agent 2!) that tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Some Canucks are so smug (Hello, Just In Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland!) that they're probably giving thanks that they are not as other men/women are (St. Luke 18:11). But to all the rest, Walt, Poor Len Canayen [and Ed.! Ed.] send best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!

Note from Ed.: Aren't you going to repeat the old joke about why Canadians celebrate in October rather than November?

Reply from Walt: No.

Telling the truth about mass migration is "hateful conduct", sez Twitter

Let's start with a report on CBC News of a speech made recently by Emmanuel Macron, the tiny perfect leftist President of France, about the problem of Islamic terrorism in his country.

The chief surrender-monkey blames it all on the failure of the French people to welcome and accommodate the millions of Muslims who have flooded into his country to take advantage of the French spirit of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. 

M Macron gave his speech during the first major terrorism trial in Paris after the attacks against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish grocery store in January 2015, the co-ordinated killings in cafés and the Bataclan theatre in November 2015, and finally the truck assault in Nice on Bastille Day of 2016. 

The combined death toll from these Islamic terrorist attacks (I'm saying it again lest we forget) was more than 230. Most of the attackers were French-born, but all saw themselves as Islamist jihadis. What will France do with them? Send them to the shitholes of the Middle East and North Africa from which they came? Errr, no. Too late for that.

The Muslims are there now, there to stay. What to do with the 1000s of Islamic extremists now entitled to remain in Europe forever is a real problem for France -- but not just France. "Mass migration absolutely destroyed Europe. Italy, France, Sweden and Germany took in tons of migrants who never assimilated. Rapes, murders, and other heinous crimes abound."

That's not Walt speaking, although I agree. Those are the words of Lauren Witzke, the Republican candidate contesting one of the Senate seats in Delaware. Ms Witzke went on to say "I will end ALL immigration into the US for ten years." For this sin against political correctness, Twitter locked her account! Messages like that, the social media giant says, are "hateful conduct". Well, at least they didn't call it "hate crime". Not yet, anyway.

Twitter went on to warn warning the Senate candidate that repeated violations would result in the termination of her access to the platform. In a comment to Breitbart News, Ms Witzke promised swift action on the issue of tech censorship if elected to the Senate. Said the Senate hopeful, "This is yet another example of Twitter, which is partially owned by a Saudi Arabian prince, interfering in American elections."

Sez Walt, good on yer, Lauren! If I lived in Delaware, you'd have my vote!

Note from Ed.: Am I the only one to notice a strong resemblance between Lauren Witzke and People's Party of Canada star Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson? How come the lefties can't get good-looking women like this to run for them? Am I being sexist to point this out?

Rex Murphy says if Pence was "mansplaining", that means he won

Ed. has been pressing me for just over two days to say something about the snoozefest that passed for a debate between Vice-President Mike Pence and Vice-President-Wannabe Kamala Harris. Dear readers, I just haven't got anything. Nothing. Rien. Nada... So I hope the good folks at Canada's National Post, the only major Canuck medium whose owners still let Rex Murphy talk [write. Ed.] won't mind my recommending "'Mike Pence was mansplaining,' and other things said by sore losers", published yesterday.

Mr Murphy is a lovable old curmudgeon -- much like my goodself -- and a stickler for proper usage of the Queen's English -- ditto. He also refuses to drink the fashionable progressive koolaid, which makes him a pretty good judge of what passes for political discourse in the Excited States of America. Here are a few snippets from his review of the alleged debate.

As soon as it had ended, various commentators, the Twitter horde, the blogs and the panoply of our present-day communications services, were going on, in severely disparaging terms, about the gentlemanly Vice-President Mike Pence’s “mansplaining.” They clearly were not pleased with Pence’s decorous performance, and just as clearly thought that accusing him of “mansplaining” was a real winner of a rebuke.

["Mansplaining" is] what I'd call a "combat" word, whose purposes is not to describe an exchange, but to put down one of the parties to it. The definition for this application of the word is as follows:

Mansplaining. (n.) a derogatory term called up by feminist ideologues to vainly rebut the actual facts of any matter that, in those rare circumstances where a more intelligent man is debating a less intelligent woman, the man has indubitably presented the better argument. Or, any incontestably superior male response to any inferior female argument.

I hope I have demystified...mansplaining and shown that it is a verbalism of last resort used by sore losers and inadequate debaters. If any should be so mischievous as to colour this column as itself a model of mansplaining, I will simply offer prayers for her recovery.

VIDEO: People of Toronto & York! Vote for the PPC on Oct. 26th

Just received word from Agent 3 that voters in the Ontario ridings of York Centre and Toronto Centre will have an opportunity to send a message to the political and media establishment of Canuckistan on October 26th. By-elections will be held in those ridings, to replace MPs who have resigned, and the People's Party of Canada (still alive!) has nominated its leader, Maxime Bernier, and Baljit Bawa to run in those ridings. 

In this two-minute video you can hear "Mad Max" outline the PPC message: STOP mass immigration, destructive lockdowns political correctness, UN globalism, massive spending, and corruption!

   

If you live in Toronto Centre or York Centre and agree with what M Bernier is saying, get out there on October 26th and vote your convictions! If you don't live in those ridings, you can still help by joining the People's Party of Canada and/or making a donation. Remember, the PPC is the only truly conservative party in Canada!

Walt is asleep

 Ed. here. I haven't been able to wake Walt since about 1930 yesterday. Stand by...

Is that THE Gavin McInnes, the Proud Boys guy, over there?

Benjamin Dover writes from Dildo NL [You can look it up. Ed.] to enquire whether the bearded gentleman shown in the photo atop our Featured Post, "Don't even think about moving to Canada" (at right) is one and the same as Gavin McInnes, the founder of Proud Boys, mentioned by Still-President Trump in the Dumpster Debate. 

The answer is YES. And so what? But (Ben sez), the Proud Boys have been identified by the Canadian Broadcorping Castration, Antifa and all the others suffering from TDS (see previous post) as a horrible, racist, pro-Republican hate group! 

And Mr Trump told them to "stand back and stand by", so he must be a horrible racist yada yada yada too! 

Dear readers, the Proud Boys are not a far-right hate group. Founded by Gavin McInnes, who is (gasp) a Canadian, they describe themselves as as "Western chauvinists" and have consistently disavowed racism. 

But they are proud to stand up for Western culture and the values that made our countries, Canada and the United States of America, the great countries that they used to be before half a century of progressivism and secular humanism. And they are not afraid to stand up to Antifa, BLM, and the Soros-funded haters on the extreme left.

The CBC (aka CNN North) quotes (((Bernie Farber))), chair of the leftist "Canadian Anti-Hate Network", as saying that President Trump's comments during the debate are "the best thing that could have happened to Proud Boys and the white supremacist movement in probably half a century." He goes on to say that says Mr Trump's words "certainly engaged many Proud Boys supporters on social media." 

Hey, he's talking about us! But, he warns Canucks, the Proud Boys "have a proud history here in Canada of defiance. Some would argue that they're actually more white nationalist here than they are in the States." Believe it or not! 

Note from Ed.: You may have noticed the Montréal Canadiens toque worn by Mr McInnes in the photo on the featured post. Any resemblance between him and Poor Len Canayen is purely coincidental!

Are you suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome? Take this test

Ed. here. Walt has not fully recovered from the Dumpster Fire Debate, and is saving his strength for tomorrow's faceoff between Vice-President Pence and the well-known Indo-Jamaican-American Kamala Harris. 

To fill this space, we repost, from good folks at The People's Cube, a diagnostic test to help you deteremine whether or not you are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). 

Before you take this test, the authors stress that having a mental illness should not make you feel ashamed. Seek professional help if you experience any of the following symptoms during the assessment: 

You start seeing Russians everywhere around you.

You feel the need to burn buildings.

You start convulsing uncontrollably.

Question 1

Imagine one of your friends or family members saying the following: "I'm not talking about the neo-nazis and white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally." 

Which of the following statements is true:

a. your friend condems neo-nazis and white nationalists totally

b. your friend supports neo-nazis and white nationalists 

Question 2

Donald Trump is on record saying the following words: "I'm not talking about the neo-nazis and white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally." 

Which of the following statements is true:

a. Donald Trump condemns neo-nazis and white nationalists totally

b. Donald Trump supports neo-nazis and white nationalists 

Question 3

Please read the following lines out loud three times (from the President's response to the Charlottesville violence): "So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly."

While reading these lines, did you experience any of the following symptoms:

- A complete form of amnesia: you do not remember reading the lines above

- Feelings of anger towards Trump supporters, Christians or law-abiding citizens in general

- A profound feeling of despair, as if your entire world is crumbling down around you 

TDS scoring:

If you answered a to question 1 and b to question 2: 4 points

For any of the symptoms in question 3: add 1 point. 

Results: 

1-3 points: inconclusive test 

4 points: possible TDS

5-6 points: probable TDS

7 points: certain TDS

Advice:

If you score 4 points or higher, we recommend you to contact a health professional to talk about these (and probably many other) issues. Stay healthy and safe, and, once more, do not feel ashamed about mental conditions (like media brainwashing) but talk about them openly.

VIDEO: Michael Matt refutes claim that The Remnant is too political

Seems we're all pretty much agreed to forget about the Not-so-great Debate. And now that Still-President Trump and the First Lady have been diagnosed with Covid-19, and won't be able to get out on the hustings for a couple of weeks, we need to talk about "politics beyond Trump". There are other things going on!

There are some in the Catholic Church who think that religion and politics shouldn't be mixed. Some are critical of The Remnant newspaper and editor Michael Matt for campaigning for the re-election of President Trump. But they need to learn something from Pope Bergoglio. In today's world, especially in the Excited States of America, religion and politics cannot be separated!

Almost every major issue in the 2020 election has religious overtones and undertones. The globalism espoused by the Holy(?) Father is just one example. In this video, Mr Matt tackles head-on the argument that there can be any separation, in these troubled times, between church and state. Mr Matt answers critics who say RTV has become "too political", and talks about: 

* The latest from the New Normal: Abortion by Mail.

* Big Brother surveillance, facial recognition technology on the horizon.

* Dr. Fauci says that if we all get vaccinated, the pandemic might end by 2022.

* Dr. Fauci says it's a big mistake to open bars and restaurants.

* Michael takes an old woman to church, after being isolated in solitary confinement for months.

* If we're so worried about Grandma, why are we doing THIS to her?

Do you think the war on life, Trump and America is mere "politics as usual"? Or is this part of a global war on God Himself? Listen and learn!

   

As you heard, Mr Matt and his colleagues at The Remnant have launched their own website, Remnant TV. Click here to have a look. Walt has it bookmarked!
