If I am dusting this thing off after these years, I want to
do it properly. I will try not to do the long editorial shit (like yesterday)
unless I am really really pissed off. Note: That seems to happen more as I age
and as I witness the rising of the Fourth Reich.
For those keeping track, as we watch The Fuhrer and his BeBe Buddy getting ready to strike the match for the powder keg that is the Middle East, Israel has been bombing civilians in Gaza for 1 year, 8 months, 1 week, and 3 days. Of the 251 hostages that were taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, 53 are still being held, and at least 20 are believed to be still alive. Apparently blasting the everloving hell out of Gaza wasn’t such a great strategy for getting hostages back, but it’s one hell of a plan for getting a few seaside ocean resorts in the area. Apparently, the loss of life isn’t the issue at all anymore; now it’s just a couple of wrinkly old dogs having a pissing match despite the inability to hold up a hind leg.
The G7 meeting in Kananaskis, Alberta has ended. One of the results of the meeting was a concerted, united effort to (finally) offer more substantial support to Ukraine by way of sanctions against Russia, money and munitions for Ukraine, and an ultimatum. It seems that in the massive vacuum left by a bloviating bully leaving early, the adults were allowed to actually do some work. This has gone on way too long, and there is no way that Ukraine should be compromised in any way to get a peace deal. They didn’t start this shit, they didn’t want this shit, and it was 100% unnecessary, other than for the greed and ego of what is quickly becoming pathetic and paranoid Putin.
As Heir Fuhrer is denouncing criminals and sending his jack-booted, pussy-whipped, mask-wearing thugs to pick on Senators and city Comptrollers, one wonders what it will take to get law enforcement to turn their attention to the real criminals in the US – the ones sitting in the GOP caucus rooms. Now, before you get all pissy with me about it, I know, they aren’t all criminals, but come on, the ones who are just sitting there saying nothing and going along to get along are as criminal as the ones actually doing the shit.
Bill C-5. Why is it that politicians cannot create laws that don’t have other more nefarious crap buried inside them. Carney’s C-5 is intended to break down some of the trade barriers that exist between provinces in Canada. Now, this is a good thing, but it is only one step. The rest of the work has to be done by the provinces, but this clears away some of the red tape along the way. But then, it goes on to enact the Building Canada Act, a delightful little ditty that allows the federal government to ignore whatever regulations or procedures or restrictions that might exist for a project, if they deem it an issue of ‘national interest.’ This overreach potentially means that any First Nations land claims, any environmental issues, any health concerns, can be totally disregarded, and there is no recourse to stop it. Of course, a bill like this should have proper debate and discussion before being passed, right? Hell no. Of course not, because then all the things wrong with it would be exposed. How do I know this? Because any time the conservatives agree to limiting debate on a liberal bill, you know there is shit in there that ought not be, and here it is. This is how the shit starts. Write your MPs and tell them that this bill is bullshit. If the project is in the national interest, then there is a way to make it work with discussion and agreement, not just ramming this shit down our throats.
Yesterday, a young woman from Georgia passed away. Well, actually, she passed away 4 months ago, but because she was a few weeks pregnant, the government ordered that she be put on life support until the baby was viable. She was a government-sanctioned baby incubator, and nothing more. Her life didn’t matter. Her dignity didn’t matter. Her family’s wishes didn’t matter. After four long, expensive months, it was determined that the baby was viable. They cut her open, pulled out the 1-pound baby, unplugged the ventilator and let her die… again. Please someone explain to me (actually, that’s rhetorical because I really don’t give a crap about your stupidity) how this is pro-life. This is pro-birth. The government made the demands, the family now has to deal with the hardships, not the least of which will be the medical bills. In a time when the Trump government is more than happy to deprive living people of the medications they need to keep on living, when they find it entertainment to see how seniors juggle between paying for prescriptions or paying for their food, and really not being able to afford either, they just dumped absolutely smothering debt onto the shoulders of a family who has been put through a very special, very sick hell. Oh, but there will be social programs to help this family, right? Fuck no! Those are all being cancelled as well. Food stamps? Lunches at schools? Help with daycare? I mean, come on, you had the baby, so now you deal with it. If any of these people were prolife, they would also be all in on social programs to help all children, all families, all seniors, instead of vilifying them. If they were really pro-life, as Jesus intended, then they would want the same rights for colored people, for immigrants, for gays and lesbians, for trans people, but noooo, they are only pro-birth, and then, well, you call all fuck off, unless of course you are a white Christian conservative.
