That’s my husband who always corrects me severely when I say he’s 6”.
He also appropriated my wide-brimmed, blinged-out straw hat and refuses to relinquish it. That’s a dude who’s very secure in his masculinity.
I want the hat back, though.

Duped
The stated goal of the Canadian government for 2025 is to bring in
395,000 permanent residents and 673,650 temporary residents for the year.
Obviously, nobody is going to deport anybody, so the temporary workers become permanent in due course.
Half of these “temporaries” are students and another half are workers. For the most part, these workers are part of the so-called “International Mobility Program.” This is a type of immigration where nobody tries to find out if these workers fulfill an economic need:
The IMP is comprised of a collection of streams that do not require Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA), including work permits issued in accordance with agreements with partner countries, or work permits issued under economic, family-class or humanitarian public policies, and Post-Graduation Work Permits.
The goal is not to fulfill any economic purpose but to drag people around. There’s no other way to read the name of the program.
This is over a million immigrants planned for just one year in a country with the population of 40 million. And again, planned and reality are different things. The real figure is much higher but forget that. Let’s stay with the government goals. Over a million new people coming in to live every year for years. Whatever their status, they need to be housed. They need healthcare. Their children need schools and daycares. The healthcare system is already overburdened. I look at mother’s oncologist, and she’s clearly a great doctor but she’s overwhelmed as it is. With this kind of workload, the probability of a medical error becomes very high.
Why am I writing all this?
Canadians got upset over my recent video where I said they were duped into voting for the Liberals. I’m sorry feelings were hurt but how else can I describe this? If you vote for more of this because you think that it’s less of a problem than an imaginary invasion from a permanently weak Trump, then how else can I qualify your actions? You were absolutely duped. And nothing will improve until you realize it.
Wrong Analogy
The Israeli pagers targeted individuals. The Ukrainian drones targeted equipment with zero human victims. It’s thinking on a much more advanced level, and I resent any analogy. The Israeli operation was crude and clumsy in comparison. Plus, the sheer caliber of the opponent is completely different.
Spain Lucked Out
Most of the immigrants to Spain, though, are Hispanics. It’s the same culture. Spain lucked out in that it has an infinite supply of same language / same culture immigrants and smartly encourages them to come.
Barcelona, in particular, will benefit from having more Spanish-speakers, which will put to rest all Catalonian silliness.
It’s also quite fitting that the children of the Spanish Empire should pay the debt of gratitude to the madre patria.
Global Shanty Town
There have been countless little streams, murders, rapes, forced confinements, kidnappings… and all this relentless determination to harm, to trouble, to ruin life, which has transformed one of Earth’s most peaceful and civilized countries,
Great Britain, and with it so many others in Europe—Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany—into chaotic assortments of untidy and dilapidated wastelands, brutish and ultraviolent, which everyday put us on notice, in public transportation, in hospitals, in schools, in the street, as to their status as pioneering
outposts of the global shanty town.Renaud Camus, The Deep Murmur
Paris burned last night. People burned today in Boulder, Colorado. The global shanty town will only be possible when everybody who remembers the old life, the rights, the culture, the standard of living—all that inconvenient, high-maintenance stuff—goes away.
My Feed
It really is quite a feeling to scroll through my X feed where half of the posts are about the brilliant Ukrainian drone operation and the other half is about Glenn Greenwald’s licking of spit from a gay prostitute’s foot.
The Famous Ukrainian Sense of Humor
The reason why the strategic operation for the destruction of Russian military air bases was carried out today is that June 1 is the International Day for Protection of Children. The destroyed bombers have been murdering Ukrainian children for over three years.
In addition, the name of the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine who planned the operation is Vasyl Malyuk. In Ukrainian, Malyuk means “child.”
Here’s his photo:
P.S. Turns out in Russia June 1 is the day of the Military Aviation Industry. This just can’t be beat.
A Military Op for the Ages
41 Russian strategic bomber was destroyed today deep in Russia by Ukrainian drones. The operation took 1,5 years to plan and coordinate and is the first in the world of this kind.
The loss of the bombers is an irreparable blow to the Russian air fleet because these aircrafts are no longer manufactured. They are too complex and there’s no capacity in Russia to make any new ones after the Soviet-era supply of the planes is exhausted.
History of Warfare
The history of warfare is being rewritten on this day:
Extraordinary precision, unimaginable coordination and effectiveness. And no civilian casualties.
I stand in awe.
P.S. Five air bases by the most recent count. Russians are so inept that they haven’t managed even to turn on the siren alarm at one of them.
Dark Magic
This is causing me physical pain:
People, what are you doing, people? I can’t even watch the clip to the end.
