Jimmy Kimmel, honorary mayor of Dildo NL CANCELLED

The summer of 2019 was quiet -- as usual -- in the tiny Newfoundland fishing village of Dildo, until August, when this happened.

On August 2nd, Jimmy Kimmel [Who he? Ed.], the host of a late night talk show called Jimmy Kimmel Live, started his allegedly funny show with a segment called "Canada has been hiding their Dildo". It was a story Newfoundlanders and Labradorians were able to rally behind and laugh about, and Lard Tunderin' Jaysus, dit ever put the province on the map, like never before!

What followed was 13 days of late night television, and years of unheard of tourism success for the region. As many as 4 or 5 (including YVT) showed up almost every day just to take pictures of the sign and send postcards bearing a fancy cancel which Canada Post made up just for the occasion.

 

Kimmel checked in almost nightly with the people of Dildo, sent security guard and international correspondent Guillermo to help run his campaign and used the Dildo Brewing Company as campaign headquarters. 

While Kimmel initially ran for the seat unopposed, rumours of an opponent stirred, none other than Matt Damon. [Who he? Ed.] But Kimmel remained strong in his pursuit of the mayor's chair, holding a press conference on his show. 

He stood firm on a "missionary" style of addressing taxation, and pointed to the fact that no one else was running for election. This was more than enough to win over the people of Dildo, The vote on August 15th was anything but close, and Kimmel was named mayor of the local service district in a landslide.

And look at him now, a victim of the cancel cuture which he and all the other Hollywood loonie lefties supported when it was them doing the cancelling. Now the shoe is on the other (i.e. right) foot, and Kimmel is looking for work. FAFO. But cheer up Jimmy. Your fans in Dildo (Sid and Doris Bonkers) will surely welcome you back.... Or maybe not....

Footnote: On his visit a couple of years ago, Walt was pleased to see this sign of support for Ukraine nailed to the front of the Society of United Fisherman hall, just across from the brewery.

Walt [and Ed.! Ed.] send best wishes to all the fine people of Dildo. May Jimmy Kimmel never return, and may bhe wind at your backs always be your own.

VIDEOS: Afghanistan? It's all over! No-one's to blame. Let's move on!

And now for something completely undifferent -- another video from Sky News Australia. There's a clip from ABC's interview with Sleepy Joe (see "Stubborn Joe Biden Snaps, Falls Apart in Interview as Afghanistan Crisis Worsens", Breitbart News, 18/8/21), ridiculous statements by Gen. Mark Milley, and lots of examples of how the lickspittle media (and Americans generally) are turning on the worst president since Jimmy Carter!

 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! Here's Jesse Watters' take on the ABC interview. He's shocked, shocked!

What I found interesting in this commentary is that even the very woke Gen. Milley is now distancing himself from President Biteme, claiming that he told Sleepy Joe well before the fateful order was given that at least 2500 US troops should have been left in Krappistan. Lots of CYA going on now.... 

Top 5 American sources of fake news

Here's a meme that pretty much sums things up, taken from "CNN Introduces Segment Where They Rant About What Trump Would Have Tweeted If He Hadn't Gotten Kicked Off Of Twitter"

on Babylon Bee (where else?), 21/4/21.

How about the rest of the world? In Canada, Germany and the Disunited Kingdom, the news sources you can distrust the most are those owned by the all-powerful state. They may pretend to operate at arm's length -- the CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration) is a so-called "independent crown corporation -- but they know who signs the paycheques.

Walt recommends (mostly for Americans): NTD News Today. And of course Breitbart... For Canadians and Americans: Blazing Cat Fur ... and keep reading WWW!

The truth is not out there. There truth is here!

Paul Harvey's 1965 prediction of America's future proves all too true

Do you remember Paul Harvey? Paul Harvey Aurandt (his full name) was an American radio broadcaster who was heard for many years on the ABC radio network. He voiced News and Comment on weekday mornings and mid-days, and at noon on Saturdays, as well as his famous The Rest of the Story segments throughout the day, from the 1950s through the 1990s. Mr. Harvey was listened to by as many as 24 million people a week on 1200 radio stations and 400 AFN (Armed Forces Network) stations. His columns appeared in 300 newspapers.

Paul Harvey was a social conservative, who was clearly -- and rightly -- dismayed by the cultural revolution that engulfed the Excited States of America in the hippy-dippy 60s. With the folk-song army and leftist elites leading the great "civil rights" charade ["crusade", shurely! Ed.] and the likes of Abbie Hoffman urging Amerikan yoof to "tune in, turn on and drop out", the lamestream media proclaimed the dawn of a new and brighter tomorrow -- LBJ's "Great Society".

Very few commentators had the foresight or the guts to predict that it would all end in tears. Paul Harvey was one who foresaw a dark future (adjective chosen deliberately) for the USA and had the courage to say so. On 3 April 1965 he broadcast a piece called "If I Were the Devil" in which he described the sad state of the nation as we see it today, half a century later. Here is an updated version, recorded (audio only) in 1996. Running time 2:47.



Paul Harvey died on 28 February 2009, at the age of 90. Walt wonders how he was able to refrain from saying "I told you so!" Walt also wonders if, in his last days, Mr. Harvey consoled himself that he wouldn't be around to see things get even worse. Because they have!

Today, following Donald Trump's win in the Nevada Republican caucuses, the meeja have suddenly figured out that "Americans want change". That very headline appeared ina so-called "national newspaper" this morning. Well, DUH! But it may be too late for us to revert to the status quo ante. The Devil's forces rule the Western world. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to put the genie back in the bottle. Let us pray!
