Canada needs to Be Punished With Tariffs

Only 21,000 migrants coming across Canada have been appended in the first 10 months of 2024.
And improvement has been steady.
So why accuse Canada of inaction and alienate a neighbor.
Will he keep his promise to tariff and start a completely unnecessary and spiteful trade war with Canada or will it turn out to be the bilious Bob bloviation of a blowhard.

THE DRONES? OVER AMERICA

What is flying all over the United States? Nobody seems to know. They usually but not always fly over military bases all over the country. That is important.
They are not described as drones and they do not make noise. They are described as orbs or objects the size of an SUV.
Nobody can explain it and that includes the administration and military and numerous members of Congress who are seeking answers but have gotten none so far.
Many people say that when they are spotted they disappear.
If you are oblivious to news I would recommend that you read the articles. Members of Congress setting off alarms is not the stuff of hoax.

If they are drones wouldn't we be able to be intercept some by now. We can intercept supersonic missiles.
The whole country lost its mind over a balloon. This is an infinitely bigger story imo at this time.
Question ? What country hypothetically has such technology if reports of the maneuvering is accurate. It would not be credible to say it is any of our allies. That is out.
Of adversaries not a chance that Iran could be doing it. That leaves N Korea China and Russia.
I don't think that there is any reason it could be N Korea and they would not have such technology and why not over S Korea.
China ? They have sent some surveillance objects but not extremely sophisticated and they are sparce and not in groups. But still a possibility.
If Russia one would think that they would be all over Ukraine and they are not.
They have been spotted in other countries. I will google that.
Some just flew over Minnesota the home of Governor Waltz.

Over the last 60 years there have often been UFOs reported over military bases. Long before the existence of drones and long before the current situation.
The military says not us and the government says no danger and says no big deal. Paging Orson Welles.

Maybe it is a tempest in a teapot. It does not seem to be.

Another point. If it is from amateurs it would have to be a big conspiracy because although it is mostly east coast it is also happening in other parts of the country. And such an operation would have been cracked by the FBI and the DHS especially with so much clamoring for answers and alarm from many in Congress and state officials.

There is a behind doors classified hearing next week I think it is.
Maybe there will be some vague info or a clue if they is classified information of some kind.

It could be American but if so then why so often and in so many states and why highlight our bases and why put airplanes at risk of crashes.
12/13/2024 3:49 PM
I have come to a firm conclusion that the objects are sophisticated drones and are either Russian or Chinese surveillance drones. There is a good rationale for either of them. It appears that they are only interested in USA bases here and in other allied countries as well.
12/14/2024 12:52 AM
But then again, Biden has never been cowed by any country and if they are foreign drones they would be dealt with one way or another including destruction one would have to believe. They are not even manned.

And we are hearing comments from the Feds like they used to make during the Blue Book era like it is imagined or swamp gas they would say.

All I know for sure is that there is a clamoring growing louder and louder demanding answers.
If the feds say it is not a threat and not dangerous then THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS and won't tell anyone.
As John Lennon once said - quote - strange days, strange days indeed , most peculiar mama.

There are such things as passenger drones the size of an SUV some of which can have 5 passengers.
Hobbyists can be ruled out. They are far too expensive buy. Even 1. And if hobbyists flew them they are looking at prison for breaking FAA laws which prohibit any drones over or near military installations. And one needs FAA clearance for any flight.

American? If they are then the Pentagon and DHS and White House spokesman are lying big time.
Also why would the military fly them over and near installation bases sometimes in swarms and elsewhere and so frequently in view of civilians. It would be nonsensical. And there is always Area 51 to try out and learn how to fly such drones without detection.

So it is down to China and Russia or some kind of contact. That cannot be ruled out. But if Russian they would be used over Ukraine one would think. And China would not engage so many and at such low altitudes and exacerbate the chances for a trade war they do not want. As well as sanctions and other possible responses. Intelligence is so good that it seems impossible that America was and still is in the dark about such drones.
If someone says Iran I say no if for no other reason than a guarantee that that the USA would work hand in glove to bring down Iran with our weapons to put Iran where Syria is now.
North Korea ? Possible but again no because they would be shot down. The federal govt says they are not a threat. Even going at military bases violating FAA laws there and everywhere else.
The federal government knows more then they are saying. The big excuse for not going after them is debris could land in civilian residential areas. That does not have the ring of truth to me.

DRONING UPDATE

DHS has abruptly changed course and now authorizes states to try to shoot down the drones.
I strongly believe that there is only 1 adversary who could be doing this and that is China. It is nil to impossible for it to be any other country.
DHS takes American off the table if they still continue to materialize after states empowered to shoot them down.

It really could be China. Or the unknown.
China has serious drone tech and could be trying to test our systems of detection and response over sensitive areas. It would be exciting to say the least if it wasn't even China but my money is on China. Getting prepared for a possible war could be the motivation. China does not want a trade war but maybe they figure that a trade war or Taiwan could lead to war .This makes sense to me.

Nobody on news channels mentions that aside from some fellow conspiracy theorists RFK Jr is the only person in America who thinks that Sirhan Sirhan is innocent.
He has even spoken with his father's murderer and has been asking the parole board to let him out of prison. Sick squared.
He is a seriously mentally ill man which makes very qualified to Trump.

The United States a long time ago superseded the wild wild west of the frontier towns.
We are the abiders of an immoral gun culture. When the culture is a celebration with reverence and religious zeal of guns with and advanced weapons you get a lot of murder.
She did not like Mondays.

The Trumped up lynching of a moral and patriotic citizen who celebrates democracy and tries to protect the republic will soon be in the cross hairs of a neo Nazi federal government. Maybe the sick and evil opponents of gun control and the abolition of assault weapons in the hands of average citizens can start to say of the next administration - They are coming for our freedoms. That wont happen. They are all in.

A sinister republican put up committee of the House of Representatives just released a malicious truth bending report recommending the criminal investigation. The mendacious , hall of fame member of mendacity, has already said that based on the report that he ordered his dogs to deliver to him , their master, requires the FBI to investigate Lynn Cheney.

I'm thankful that i support the good guys. We will have enhanced evil in our government in 33 days and it will metastasize as is intended.

They are using trumped up charges to retaliate against a citizen who insists on telling the truth EVEN when she finds crimes committed by her own party. Isn't that the way it is supposed to be. Make no mistake about it. The depraved soulless people who would rather assassinate democracy and create a post truth post morality post common sense post science and post democratic society know exactly what they are doing. If there is a better and more accurate word other than evil I would like to hear it.

They say in their hateful and corrupt screed that Lynn Cheney committed the crimes of interfering with witness Cassidy Hutchinson ( another they rigged the election mentality ) and that Liz Cheney had documents from the investigation destroyed, The problem is the the committee did not destroy anything. All of it is archived including evidenced not deemed salient enough to get in the report. The crafters of the report and Trump and Patel and Bohme know it is lies but they feel they are entitled to put it out. Evil.
As for Cassidy Hutchinson., who felt moral and religious guilt over being part of the plot to whitewash and change history through a conspiracy of lies and threats changed lawyers. She rediscovered her moral fiber and released the lawyer that Trump himself had given to her free of charge to help her testify as Trump wanted her too. She fired the Trump layer she paid zero fees to and got an attorney that she did pay fees to.
She did this of her own volition because she did not want to lie or conceal or obfuscate any more. She wanted to be one of the good guys.

She testified under oath to all of that several times and could not be shaken. It was true. Not a single shred of evidence has ever been offered that Liz Cheney interfered or coerced her or cajoled her or generally committed witness tampering.

Trump says that based on the report he wanted that the FBI should investigate Liz Cheney. In other words a transparent set up. Sick ? yes.
Is this the kind of country that we now want and support. Apparently. The people will be happy with it unless the price of eggs goes up 10 cents.
Then they will march in the streets.

Things getting worse wont mean a thing. It won't get better unless things get much much much worse.
The magic 8 ball say it seems likely.

The damned French - Trudeau and Macron are looking like a couple of puss - ies. They should look to Claudia Sheinbaum for guidance. Grow a pair and act like men.

Musk is already taking unilateral action. He sunk ceiling debt bill on his own and after Trump said that he agreed after the bill got scuttled. He is supposed to be an advisor. When will Trump take a dislike to his presumptuous power plays.
It won't be a long honeymoon.
It does not appear that Musk is accustomed to seeking permission from anyone for anything.
Heads will knock like 2 rams running towards each other.

The Transmutation of Transformation or The Day of the Laughing Hyenas

So the trans party is now the cannibal party of America. They are the CPA.
They are a FUBAR of a FUBAR of a crazed FUBAR.
They are a split personality side splittingly split pea soup of alleged civil servants who are HOF chaos causing savants.
Like a vintage WWW side show you have a bill of Trump v Musk bubbling under like Bruno v Larry
and Johnson v Musk like Roddy v Hulk
and the cowardly traditional GOP v MAGA and MAGA v Musk bubbling under and over and MAGA v Trump
and RFK jr and Trump v Dr Spock and Dr Salk tag team match
and it goes on and on and it hasn't even started yet.

And let us not forget Three Faces of Steve Bannon now trying to deconstruct MAGA and Trump. That's right. Bunion now is calling for MAGA to tax bigly the very wealthy individuals and corporations because that will make Trump an historic hero to the great unwashed. Not kidding. The ghost of Bush 1 laughs. Bannon can just become a democrat LOL. These people are mentally irregular.
I mean Strange weirdos in a strange land.

I remember when it became the national pastime to pillory Hillary because she had the unmitigated gall to offer a policy suggestion for getting heath insurance to people without it. There was such a hue and outcry because she was not elected. She was the first lady. Never mind that she was a brilliant accomplished lawyer and a policy wonk. She was cast as basically a bad person for not staying in her place. She was relegated by a bunch of misogynistic losers to tending flowers and running a book club.

Nothing that she was trying to do was to benefit herself. She was interested in helping others and she had a podium and wanted to use it.

Musk? Now that is unelected and really putting his thumb on the scale not with ideas but with the causing of action that would benefit him personally in billions of ways. Hillary did not try to crush legislation. She was a good guy if one gives any credit for such things.

It is so basic. But can someone please tell me why Elon Musk needs to pay less taxes again after he already got a giant tax cut in 2018. Same for Bezos and Gates etc.

There are lots of commercials all the time about some issue nobody understands and at the end it says call your congressman and tell him that you do not want xyz or to vote no for xyz etc...sponsored by some group you never heard of. There should be such tv ads exhorting people to barrage their senators and house members to stop Elon Musk and other billionaires gigantic tax cuts because that money is for the people not the billionaires. That is something I would like to see. Whip the masses into anger.

My sister is not a republican anymore. She calls people who vote MAGA while voting against their crucial and vital self interest 'suckers" and
I agree.
They are suckers.
There can be no circus unless people buy tickets for it.
