Oh Canada goes into the next act of this farcical tragedy

So Carney does his "strut" after his "victory". Well, the victory may not last. We'll see. Anyway, a sensible response from Canada would be something like an American common market. The free trade agreement that is in place is NOT that. The Canadians impose large tariffs on certain American goods. There's protectionism for ya. The trouble with our own so-called "free trade" advocates, is that they do not consider the full effects of free trade uber alles. The effects of unfettered free trade was the hollowing out of American manufacturing. That is what Trump is trying to reverse.

 

The pinkos and their useful idiots on the the so-called "right", will try to obfuscate that. Hopefully for the future of everyone on the North American continent, Trump will begin to clarify things SOON.

Ivermectin, the cancer fighting drug?

 

Even if you seem to have it under control, there's always this lingering worry that it could come back. What if you could knock it out for good?




P.S. This is not to be construed as an endorsement of Ivermectin for treatment of cancer. I'm looking into it, that's all.



Freedom has two sides; one side is toward failure, the side is toward success

 

Which will it be? Is America terminally stuck-on-stupid, or will we climb out of our stupidity and rise to success once again?


Shame on ZeroHedge for treating this young communist as worth hearing.





On being stuck on stupid

Calling another person "stupid" probably won't cure any stupidity that may exist. People will think whatever they're going to think.

 

Nevertheless, I'll offer some thoughts upon the subject. Why not?


If you've heard of the saying that ignorance can be cured, but stupidity cannot. However, I would not agree that this is always so. Maybe due to the hard-headedness of people, the stupidity will endure almost anything short of two slugs to the forehead.


How can stupidity be cured? Can blindness be cured? Sometimes. If blindness can be cured, a stupid person can actually become intelligent. That's because stupidity is kind of a mental blindness, in my opinion. If you are blind to something by choice, then you will remain ignorant. By extension, that will entail the choice of remaining ignorant, even though the ignorance can be overcome with training. A choice to remain ignorant, therefore, is stupid. But this kind of stupidity has nothing to do with innate abilities. It is the willful blindness that makes a person stupid by choice.


Therefore, stupidity can be cured. But that is only if a person wants to really know. Otherwise, a person remains willfully blind. It's hard to do anything about that, unfortunately.


America is being mugged, slandered, and murdered

And those responsible want to pose as the knight in shining armor coming to the rescue. Do you know who I'm referring to?

Is the culture war deepening?

 

To answer cancel culture with even more cancel culture? That seems to be the ticket for some folks out there. How broad is that sentiment, really?


If you had to choose between a "woke" business, or an "anti-woke" business, what would you choose? Or would you prefer not to play that game?


Up to a point, I've been playing that game. But to go whole-hog on it is difficult. You have to really be committed to the culture war to play this game really hard. But there are people out there like that.


Know what I mean, Vern?

A reaction of sorts to the 80's movie--- The Mosquito Coast

 

I went to the theater back then to see this movie, so it isn't exactly new to me. Since all of that time, I suppose a fresh perspective can be applied to it.


Trouble is, I don't recall what the original perspective was. If it was anything, it was that the main character was nuts. It didn't go with the usual kind of character played by Harrison Ford. Or did it? Ford played some off the wall type characters before in some or perhaps most of his movies. Well, this character outdid anything he did before, or since.


It may have weaned me off of Harrsion Ford movies.


That was then, but what about now?


That one may make me squirm a bit. A lot of that character I see in ME. In particular, Ford's character was an off-the-grid character before the off-grid thing became a thing. But I've never been an anti-American type. Give it some time though. The way this country is going, nobody is going to recognize it anymore.


Ford's character had a kind of messianic notion of saving the world. That could put you straight into nutcase territory. I'm not in the neighborhood of being anything like that.


I've got a practical streak a mile wide. I'm most interested in what WORKS. Funny thing, Ford's character had something that worked, but he wasn't satisfied with getting it to work. He wanted to force everybody into his mold.


To me, the sensible thing to do would have been to market it. Well, time to run. Things are getting a bit interesting around here.
