Trump's press conference with Netanyahu

Trump held a press conference with the Antichrist yesterday as Netanyahu visited the White house right after Trump announced tariffs with Israel. Not a word was said about Qatargate. How Netanyahu's inner circle accepted money from Qatar the ones who arm and fund Hamas. 

Not a word about the rescue workers recently assassinated by the IDF or the 17 year old kid who recently died of malnutrition in an Israeli prison. Not a word about sexually assaulting prisoners or the mass Jewish protests in Israel against Netanyahu. Not a word about Netanyahu's ties to Hamas and his involvement in the October 7th attack. 

Publishing any of that would interfere with Trump Gaza. Donald Trump's desire to build a casino and giant golden statue of himself on the graves of dead Palestinian children.

There are two things I noticed from that press conference. In my honest opinion, Trump looks off. He looked and sounded like someone with a mental illness. He kept saying I'm the best president ever. I'm the best president Israel has ever had. 

That kind of delusional arrogance quietly and honestly revealed a mental health issue. Trump looks older now and off. He's looking more and more like Joe Biden every day. 

The other thing I noticed was Netanyahu's fictitious claim. He said we are going to eliminate the trade deficit because it's the right thing to do. Oh really? How are you going to do that?

America's trade deficit with Israel exists because of the population difference. America has a much larger population that Israel so they are naturally going to buy more things from Israel than Israel will but from them. The same with any other smaller country Trump has declare war with. 

So the snake oil sale's pitch revealed two lies hiding a web of lies. The other day I saw an independent right wing news outlet interview a protester who was calling Trump a Fascist. The reporter asked the protester in what way is Trump a Fascist and the protester choked. I was like really? I'll tell you. By implementing far right extremism. By centralizing power into one person and by eroding the Constitution and supporting mega prisons in El Salvador that remove due process. 

This is no better than the Covid lies just different. People were celebrating the carbon tax which was just another word for tax. Now they're doing the same thing with tariffs. Tariffs are taxes, they raise the cost of everything we buy and build. The Trump cult is no better than the Biden cult. There is an alternative. It's not a choice between one extreme or the other. Logic would balance the extremes not embrace one extreme over the other. 

Fatal shootings in Edmonton and East Vancovuer

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Police are investigating a fatal shooting early Sunday in east Vancouver. Article content The shooting was reported just before 4:30 a.m. inside a home near North Kootenay and Dundas streets. A 49-year-old man died. Article content Two suspects, both in their 20s, have been arrested." The victim was Benn Robert Arthur Harrison.

Global is reporting that "A man is dead after reports of gunshots in Mill Woods — one of at least three shootings Edmonton police responded to in under 24 hours in the city."

Palestinian Protests in Toronto

This podcast talks about two separate Palestinian protests in Toronto and some of the atrocities in Gaza as well as the many Jewish protests in Israel against Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatargate.

IDF changes account of Gaza paramedics’ killing after video of attack

The Guardian is reporting that "Israel’s military has backtracked on its account of the killing of 15 Palestinian medics in Gaza last month after footage contradicted its claims that their vehicles did not have emergency signals on when Israeli troops opened fire."

"The military said initially it opened fire because the vehicles were advancing suspiciously on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations late on Saturday, said that account was mistaken”. They lied.

"The almost seven-minute video, which the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Saturday was recovered from the phone of Rifat Radwan, one of the men killed, appears to have been filmed from inside a moving vehicle. It shows a red fire engine and clearly marked ambulances driving at night, using headlights and flashing emergency lights."

"The vehicle stops beside another that has driven off the road. Two men get out to examine the stopped vehicle, then gunfire erupts before the screen goes black."

"Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one UN employee, were killed in the incident in Rafah on 23 March, in which the UN said Israeli forces shot the men one by one and then buried them in a mass grave."

Cherry blossoms, Tourism and Bob Marley

The cherry blossoms are out in Vancouver. Whenever you see the cherry blossoms bloom, you know spring is here. This year when I see the cherry blossoms it just feels like everything's going to be OK. Summer is coming. Seasons change, the world keeps spinning and everything's alright. Kind of like that line from the song No Woman no cry. 

Tyrants rise and fall. The pendulum swings from the left to right and back again. Just because Trump has jumped too far to the extreme, that doesn't mean Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were right because they weren't. 

The Democrats didn't even have a primary. They waited until the last minute and humiliated Biden in that debate. Then they all pretended to be surprised and slipped Kamala in without an election. They didn't let RFK run because they had an Agenda.

The same thing in Canada. The Liberals wouldn't let Ruby Dhalla run. Ruby saw what has happened just like Tara Henley. When Tara Henley started working for the CBC she was considered a Liberal. She was left of centre. 

Now she is considered right wing. Her position hasn't changed the CBC's position has. The CBC is far left now. The same thing with the Liberal party and the Democrats. 

Now the Liberal party is far left. Ruby Dhalla wanted to bring the party back to left of centre but they wouldn't let her. They hand picked Mark Carney to take Justin Trudeau's place because he was far left just like his BFF Chrystia Freeland. When the fake news said Mark Carney was more right wing they lied. He's not. 

Ruby Dhalla was more right wing. Left of centre. Mark Carney is still far left. Nothing has changed. That's the problem. We just need to balance the extremes. 

We don't need to go from reckless spending to reckless cuts. We don't need to go from mass illegal immigrating to hunting down migrants and throwing them in prison. 

6AK_TV reposted a funny comment on X. It said "MFs be like NO MORE IMMIGRANTS And then marry one. Cc: Trump, Vance, Poilievre" That is so true. Trump married a migrant. So did Vance and Poilevre. We really need to rise above all this migrant hate because it is a manufactured condition.

As I said, I don't even like this Canada First copy cat slogan. It's the me first drive of selfishness. What about Gaza? I care about Gaza? What about the Ukraine? I care about the Ukraine. We never should have created that conflict. During the First and Second World war we weren't going around shouting Canada first. People needed our help and we helped them. That's a Christian principle but all religions share that golden rule.

We've heard the term Christian service. In the parable of the sheep and the goats, Christ was very clear about the importance of serving the poor. So now we're going to throw that all away and embrace secular selfishness. That's pretty shallow.

So the world is still turning and the cherry blossoms are in bloom. In Vancouver they have a cherry blossom festival where they light up some cherry blossoms at night. Sounds like a new gimmick. There are cherry blossoms all over Metro Vancouver. I live in an old dive and it's full of cherry blossom trees.

When I see them bloom it makes me feel that everything's gonna be alright. I really enjoyed Caribbean food and music. I also like many other ethnic communities. Diversity makes us strong. All this hate diminishes us and makes us miserable. Bob Marley one love. We still want to promote tourism. Tourism helps our economy. In Canada we don't lock tourists in jail.

Chris Barber, Tamara Lich not guilty on most charges. Mark Carney still seeks jail time.

CBC is reporting that "Chris Barber and Tamara Lich have been found not guilty of most charges against them for their roles in the 2022 truck convoy protest in Ottawa. Barber and Lich each faced six charges including mischief, intimidation, obstructing police and counselling others to do the same."

"On Thursday at the Ottawa courthouse, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey found the pair not guilty of four charges apiece relating to intimidation and obstructing police. They were both found guilty of committing mischief. Perkins-McVey also found them both guilty of counselling to commit mischief themselves, but that finding was stayed at the request of Crown lawyers."

"Barber alone was found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order. Lich was not charged with this. All told, Barber was found guilty of two charges, not guilty of four and had a seventh stayed. Lich was found guilty of one, not guilty of four and had a sixth stayed." Disobey a court order? GMAFB. The court order was about honking horns that is all. It did not say they had to disperse.

In her ruling, Perkins-McVey said protesters had a right to political expression, but ruled they crossed legal lines." No they did not. "The decision focused on the specific actions and statements made by Lich and Barber to encourage ongoing protests that were impacting the city." 

Impacting the City is not relevant when they didn't get a court order at the time ordering them to disperse or stop impacting the city. There was no court order other than the one about honking horns. Mischief is pretty vague and lame. 

At the BC pipeline protest the government obtained a court order prohibiting protesters from blocking access to the pipeline. Elizabeth May and Kennedy Stewart intentionally defied that court order in an act of civil disobedience. They weren't honking a horn they were blocking access. They were arrested and released immediately. That case becomes case law. It establishes a precedent.

In Chris and Tamara's case, "Crown prosecutors have signaled they would seek jail time; the maximum penalty for mischief is ten years. The two are expected to be sentenced later this year." That is mentally deranged. When they say the crown is seeking jail time they mean Mark Carney because he is the PM now. 

This trial never should have happened. Brian Peckford and Daniel Bulford were never charged. No one should have been. Pat King was sentenced to three months house arrest. Again that is now case law. 

Reacher Season 3

I watched Reacher Season three. I have to admit I had to fast forward through much of the first few episodes. I said to a coworker who was watching it, he's supposed to be a good guy. He kills a cop? WTH? He said I don't want to spoil it for you but keep watching and it will make sense which it did. 

I like the character and Alan Ritchson is certainly a commanding figure. Not only that but he brought his wife and three sons along during the filming. He's a big guy and a good guy. 

Yet there's that whole aspect of going undercover that I struggle with. I don't like to pretend to be something I'm not and that whole undercover thing isn't me. That's not the way I roll. Yet I admit Alan Ritchson is an admirable person and the season ends on a positive note. He uncovers a motorcycle from the garage and rides off into the sunset on it. 

Season 3 of the Witcher airs June 19th. The first two seasons had a very strong character development. I don't see that continuing without Henry Cavill. Sounds like the writers wanted to deviate from the source material. Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri and Jaskier are a strong team. The long sword techniques are cool. We'll see what happens next. 

Geralt's character has always been string and competent. A monster hunting mercenary with ethics who at times displayed the mercy of a king. Becoming the father to a young girl helped him grow into a new role he had not previously experienced. His love for his daughter exalted him while his love for his daughter's mother humanized him. He became human. He became a man not just a machine. 

Yennefer's character development has been significant. She started off as a hunch back castaway child who ended up in a rugged school magic where girls who didn't make the cut were turned into eels. Yennefer made the cut and excelled at magic. 

She made a deal with the devil so to speak and used magic to be some beautiful but she became Barron and was unable to have children. Adopting Ciri helped her overcome that curse. 

Yet it didn't happen overnight. When she lost her magic Yennefer tried to trade Ciri to get it back. Geralt was pissed and saw her as untrustworthy. Yennefer repented so to speak and her love for Ciri became genuine. Yennefer's love for her daughter transformed her. She became a good person. The kind of woman Geralt could love.

Ciri's character has also grown considerably. A young girl from a royal house forced to survive on her own who is led to Geralt. Geralt assumes the father role and teaches her how to use a sword. A smaller one more her size. Ciris becomes proficient with the sword and has a hidden undiscovered strength. Yennefer helps Ciri find her magic who is somewhat of a Neo. Someone the prophecies wrote about.

Season four won't be the same without Henry Cavill but that season will be Ciri's chance to take the centre stage and fulfill her destiny as a character and an actress. Rise and shine.

Liberation Day and the Patriot Act

Update: That woman arrested in George for having a Canadian driver's license was from 2018. Must have been a stupid cop. The whole thing is insane. 

Trump's tariffs hit a sour note

Well the three ring circus show continues. The Guardian is reporting that "Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on some of its largest trading partners on Wednesday, upending decades of US trade policy and threatening to unleash a global trade war on what he has called liberation day."

More like Clown day. That is hilarious. Tariffs are taxes. Liberation day happens when he lifts the taxes. Calling sweeping taxes liberation day is about as ironic as the Patriot act which was anything but. 

The Globe and Mail is reporting that "In announcing his broadside against global trade, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the aggressive tariffs will “make America rich again.” Few economists believe that, but the new tariffs are set to send American trade policy back to the 1930s."

The 1930's... ah yes, also known as the Great Depression. "Calling Wednesday Liberation Day, Mr. Trump imposed steep tariffs on allies and foes alike, including 20 per cent on imports from Europe, 24 per cent from Japan and 34 per cent from China, which are being stacked on top of existing duties on Beijing." So here we have the new Adolf Hitler declaring a trade war with the entire world except Russia. 

I haven't been listening to the news much because this is all they're talking about and it's toxic. CBC kept going on about a new global economy. Sounds an awful lot like the UN's New World Order which also created a new global economy and political insanity. Like I said before, Trump may well be good at hostile corporate takeovers but he sure is a horrible salesman. No one in the world is going to want to buy American after this.

Speaking of which, let's talk about the American tourist industry. That is a large source of income for the USA. Well recently a Canadian woman was pulled over in Georgia for speeding. The cop said her Canadian drivers license wasn't legal. Do these cops ever go to school? She was arrested because she was on a student visa and didn't have her passport with her. She had to pay $1,000 Canadian bail to get out of jail and get her car back. 

So all these Canadians that drive their car across the border and not allowed to drive them with a Canadian driver's license? Americans can driver their cars in Canada with an American drivers licence. Part of the problem is some cop are stupid. The other problem is this crazy initiative they've been given. 

A family friend of a coworker was recently asked his opinion of Donald Trump at the border. He said he wasn't a fan. They turned him around, denied him entry and banned him for five years. At least they didn't put him in an ice prison. 

Asking someone their political opinion at the border is completely unacceptable. Yet that's not all. The Guardian is reporting that "A French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration." That is George Orwell.

What happened to the land of the Free? This does not promote tourism. Locking that Vancouver woman in an ICE prison when she applied for a visa was insane. The United States has become a third world country. Other countries don't treat tourists that way. Donald Trump is the world's worst salesman because none of this is promoting the tourist industry. 

Remember that movie Independence Day with Will Smith? The world pulled together to fight an alien invasion and America led the way. Well Donald Trump's Clown day is the exact opposite. 

Remember that TV series the Promised Land? An American family sell their house, buy a trailer and travel across the US. Up until recently people had generally thought North America was a promised land of sorts that protected freedom and liberty. Not any more. Now we see a different kind of gathering. Good people are gathering together in every country in the world. 

We've heard the saying all is not well in Zion. Well thankfully, there are stakes of Zion in every country in the world. Let freedom ring. Roll the stone away, let the white doves sing. There will be an Independence day but this is not it.

Israel bombs shelter in Gaza, execute rescue workers

The Guardian is reporting that "An Israeli bombing of a school turned shelter in Gaza City has killed at least 27 people, rescuers said, and hundreds of thousands in the Rafah area are fleeing in one of the biggest mass displacements of the war amid Israel’s newly announced campaign to divide up the Gaza Strip. Three missiles hit Dar al-Arqam school in the al-Tuffah neighbourhood on Thursday afternoon, the civil defence agency spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal said, killing several children and wounding 100 people."

At least 322 children killed since Israel's new Gaza offensive

Israel PM attacks Qatar probe as 'witch hunt' after aides arrested

 

That man is Satan. It's not a witch hunt. His aid accepted money from Qatar who also fund and arm ISIS. Netanyahu is Hamas.

The Middle East Eye is reporting that "Israeli forces executed handcuffed Palestinian medics before burying them in a mass grave underneath their crushed ambulances in southern Gaza's Rafah. The fifteen humanitarian workers went missing last week after responding to a distress call from civilians being attacked by Israeli forces."
