VIDEO: Country star Brad Praisley sings and talks about freedom with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

UNITED24 was launched by Volodymr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, as a venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine's fight for freedom from Russia. One of UNITED24's ambassadors is country music superstar Brad Paisley, who dropped "Same Here", the first single from his upcoming album, Son of the Mountains on Friday, February 24th.

The date is significant, marking as it does the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Same Here" features a special appearance by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In an appearance on NBC’s The Today Show, Brad Paisley said of President Zelenskyy, "I think he understands that art is how you reach the most people, especially in the heart. He can give as many speeches as he can give, but it's a lot easier to hear something with a melody."

The song doesn’t mention the Ukrainian war specifically, it ends with Paisley and the President in conversation, recorded during a video call. You'll hear President Zelenskyy talking about the Ukrainians' desire for freedom saying, "There is no distance between our two countries in such values."

Walt's comment: Lots of Americans and Canadians, maybe even some Europeans, also yearn for freedom from the tyranny of wokeism imposed on us by the liberal elites. Many thanks to Agent 5 for sharing this anthem of freedom!

VIDEO: Scott Adams gives up on trying to help black people

Dilbert creator Scott Adams says that a Rasmussen poll showing high levels of black racial animosity against whites is the first opinion poll that ever caused him to change his behaviour. Key takeaway: "I'm tired of being called a racist."

   

Wish I'd said that! Maybe if enough people say "It's not working," our woke governments will get the message and stop pushing affirmative action and other delusional woke nonsense down our throats. Or... let's be realistic... maybe not...

VIDEO: Brandon "healthy" and "vigorous" - LMAO

Actually it's Sky News Australia anchorthingy Rita Panahi who can't hold back the guffaws as she watches Demented Joe living down to expectations, as she discussed his recent routine physical undertaken, following which his chosen doctor declared him "fit for duty". Check this out.

 

Remember, folks, this is the man whose shaky fingers, if they touch the wrong button, can imminentize the eschaton. As Count Floyd used to say, "Scary, isn't it?!"

Brother Dave Gardner invites you to join the NAAWT*

* National Association for the Advancement of White Trash. This is for all our readers who can't, or don't want to join BLM, NAACP, SPLC, Antifa, etc etc etc.

 

This is the last track on Brother Dave Gardner's fourth album for R-uh-CA Victor, "Did You Ever?" (1962). It concerns Brother Silas, the Twist, money-backs, and the cowboy who tore her heart in two. Whatever happened to those great old stand-up comedians from the heart of Dixie? Guess they, like Dixie itself, have been cancelled.

VIDEO: You think Brandon is incoherent and incompetent?

For those Americans and others who don't know who I mean when I write about Blackie McBlackface (pictured in yesterday's post), Prime Minister of All Canuckistan, here's a little video proving that (yes, Virginia) there is someone less capable of speaking (and thinking) clearly than Demented Joe Brandon, President of the Disunited States.

    

Sadly for Canada, Mr McBlackface, aka Mr Socks, is not a "looser" (should be "loser") yet. In fact, although even this comedian laughs at him (and rightly so), he is likely to be re-elected in 2025, or whenever he chooses, buoyed on the votes of 10s of 1000s of illegal immigrants who are now being sent out into the regions (Hello, Niagara Falls!) to vote Liberal at the first opportunity.

You think that can't happen? Fact: Canadian polling officials are not allowed to ask would-be voters for proof of citizenship. As long as they have a photo ID plus some scrap of paper showing a Canadian address -- even just an envelope addressed to them -- they are given a ballot. O Canada! 

Thanks and a tip o' the toque to Agent 6, who speaks Spanish almost as well as he speaks French!

VIDEO: NBA or NFL?

Ed. here. Walt is sending content only sporadically -- still in a funk, I guess, after her saw his shadow on the 2nd. We therefore appreciate the agents who have stepped into the breach. This little gem, which I believe was filmed at a trial attorneys' convention, was sent to us by Agent 5.

  

Shame on those of who who thought the "N" in "NBA" and "NFL" stood for something other than "National". Hey, it's an easy mistake to make.

Sad tales from the Heart of Wokeness

In "Fearless predictions for 2023" (WWW 10/1/23), Walt predicted that at least one of the three following heads of government would be out of office by Christmas, as a result of resignation, revolution or death: "Pope" Francis,  Demented Joe Biden, and  Justin "F*ck" Trudeau. Lifetime pct .989.

My batting average would be higher had I foreseen the pleasant surprises of the resignations of not one but three authorities of the wokest kind, all of which have occurred in the last month. A big Nelson Muntz HA-ha has already gone out to New Zealand's Queen of the Lockdowns, Jacinda "Karen" Ardern. Today we add two "leaders" from the wokest country on earth, Canuckistan.  

The first is Brenda Lucki, Commissioner (top cop) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, whose retirement was announced yesterday. HA-ha!

Ms Unlucki was appointed by Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface, the well-known "male feminist", because she's a woman. Oh, and she also happens to be married to Ray Gauthie, a relative of former finance minister Bill Morneau. That could explain why M Trudeau was never arrested for violating ethics laws in the SNC-Lavalin or numberous other affairs.

In a statement announcing what she called a "personal decision", Ms Unlucki said she has decided to retire ahead of reaching five years in the role. Her last day will be March 17th.

We are assured that the timing of her resignation has nothing to do with the impending (tomorrow!) release of the report of the Whitewash Rouleau Commission into the brutal repression of the Freedom Convoy, one year ago.

Brenda has been criticized for not speaking up in the cabinet meeting at which Mr Socks invoked the Emergencies Act to quash all dissent, although emails from Ms Lucki show that she thought there were other alternatives. This prompted Alberta's justice minister to call for her resignation, to which Ms Lucki responded by asserting she remained "fully committed to leading the RCMP."

March will see the release of the final report of the Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission. They have been looking into how the RCMP handled the 2020 killing rampage in Nova Scotia that involved a gunman using a replica RCMP vehicle. Ms Unlucki has on several occasions denied accusations of political interference in the case. 

But wait, there's more. In 2020, amid conversations around the woke hobby horse of defunding the police, Ms Lucki faced calls to resign after saying that she struggled with "five or six" definitions of systemic racism. She then quickly acknowledged what she called the national police service's "history of racial discrimination."

Looks from here as if Ms Unlucki has decided to fall on her sword to save PM McBlackface from the embarrassment of having to fire here. Further reading: "Hiring based on gender/workeness rather than merit: not a good idea", WWW 23/1/21.

We turn now to news from Toronto, aka The Wormy Apple -- a "world-class city" in the sense that it has world-class problems of crime, homelessness, crumbling infrastructure, and did I mention crime? 

John Tory -- Tory by name, "progressive" by inclination -- ran for re-election in October on the "politics of hope", taken whole and unadulterated from the teachings of The Prez. He won in a landslide. Because Toronto.

This week, surprise surprise, he resigned in the wake of the revelation by the Toronto Red Star of his affair with a former staffer. HA-ha!

This is like Lori Lightfoot winning re-election on February 28th [Ya think? Ed.] and then resigning because she's been sleeping with Hunter Biden!

According to Hizzoner, the relationship began during the Covid-19 Dempanic, when he and his long-time wife were spending "lengthy periods apart." Honesty John, has always made much of his reputation for integrity, said he was stepping down so he can "reflect on my mistakes" and "do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family."

That's all? Errr, no. Mr Tory also said the relationship "ended by mutual consent" earlier this year, adding that the former staffer had also decided to pursue employment outside of city hall. The word on Bay Street is that she landed in the executive offices of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, with which, by virtue of being a trustee of the Rogers family trust, the now-ex-mayor has some connection. 

The shadow of #MeToo looms in the background. Further reading: "Canada's top general latest victim of 'Me Too'", WWW 4/2/21.

Farewell Raquel, Farewell Hurricane Hazel

RIP Raquel Welch (pictured at left), the GOAT Hollywood sex godess. She was always Walt's favourite. There hasn't been one like her, before or since. 

Of course I admired her for her mind. (She wrote a book, you know.) She liked to play strong women, characters of substance, and wrote that she disliked almost all of the roles she was offered. But hey, it was a living.

If I may be permitted a small personal recollection... Many years ago, I paid what was then a small fortune to see her Vegas/nightclub act, up close and personal. I was surprised to find that she was not as tall as you'd think if you just looked at her legs in the still pictures. She stood 5'6" in her bare feet. The rest of her stats, at her peak (I know you want to know!) were 37-22-35.

After a short illness, Raquel Welch died yesterday, aged 82. 

"Hurricane Hazel" McCallion (the one on the right) was smaller, but feistier. She got her nickname from the storm which devastated parts of Peel County, west of Toronto, in 1954, when Mrs McCallion (she eschewed the PC "Ms") was 33.

She was a businesswoman (not "businessperson"), politician and human dynamo, a force to be reckoned with in any arena in which she set foot. Yes, she skated and played hockey well into her golden years! 

She was elected and re-elected as Reeve of Streetsville ON. When Streetsville and an agglomeration of other towns, villages and hamlets became the City of Mississauga, "Hurricane Hazel" became its mayor in 1978. She served in that capacity until her retirement in 2014, making her the longest-serving mayor in Ontario (and possibly Canadian) history.

On her very long watch, Mississauga tripled in size -- it's now Canada's sixth-largest city -- while remaining debt-free. Her accomplishments are too numerous to be listed. We can only say, as we did of Raquel Welch, there wasn't another one like her, before or since.

Hazel McCallion died of pancreatic cancer at the end of January, and was buried in Mississauga on Valentine's Day, which would have been her 102nd birthday. RIP

VIDEO: Is the collapse of America overdue?

 According to this visionary, the world's great empires -- Persia, Rome, Britain and others -- was about 240 years. The United States of America celebrated its 240th anniversary in 2016. It will be 250 years old in 2026. 

Portents of imminent collapse are to be seen everywhere, especially in America's big, Democrat-run cities. See "Lady Gaga’s Father Joe Germanotta Blasts ‘Filthy’ New York City", Breitbart News, 10/2/22. Every real news story suggests America is broken. The question is: can the country be repaired?

World leaders react to Buffalo-area earthquake

President Brandon: Really? I thought it was me shakin' again. 

President Trump: More proof that America is weak!

Prime Minister McBlackface: I am invoking the Emergencies Act to mandate masks and vaccine booster shots for all Canadians. Only a tiny minority with unacceptable views will oppose me, and they will be crushed.

President Xi: China has more powerful earthquakes. Make us angry and we'll drop one from a balloon.

Secretary-General of the United Nations: The Security Council will pass a resolution condemning earthquakes, so that this can never happen again.

"Pope" Francis: Was it really an earthquake? Who am I to judge?

Walt Whiteman: Told ya so. Lifetime pct .989.
