  • The DNC surveys never asked “should the DNC promote Israel first zionist rule in US”. “Should the DNC support neocon warmongering in the party”

    A progressive Israel first warmonger 2nd, is a progressive 3rd at best. Infinite money for the first 2, let GOP opposition bash the 3rd.

    An Israel first DNC got their best election outcome with Trump victory. Neocon policy is more about military spending than righteous war against those less liberal than US used to be. Trump will find a way to enrich their military donors too. DNC goals to be Israel first and neocon 2nd, winning 3rd means progressive promises, and less bad than Trump, just the PR appeal, instead of a mission.

    Need a party that declares zionism to be a hate ideology, and those politicians pledging allegiance to Israel to have their citizenship and any office position removed. Still need money to win, and corporate money can still promote the prosperity that comes with more equal incomes.

    UBI is far preferable to the power concentration of discretionary budgeting to achieve progressive results.

    ok. The dangerous impression that leads to hate against Russia is “Nazi Germany and USSR loved each other, and so by transitive property of disinformed dementia were the same,” because they had some shady agreements. Modern conservative/western (of Ukraine) naziism revisionism is that Hitler/Germany were socialist liberals “just like USSR”

    JFC… Russia needs to neutralize Ukraine for self defense from demonic NATO intentions to diminish it. Disinformation blaming Russia just allows your rulers and oligarchs corruption profits while your own countries are diminished instead. Pretending that all of your evil benefits Ukrainian people is by far the worst outcome of your hate.





  • E-bikes don’t need maximum energy density because they’re not gonna be used for long trips and are significantly lighter than cars and trucks.

    Actually, ebikes need energy density the most. They tend to not have fast public charging. A lighter ebike has huge advantages, if only for maneuvering a couple of stairs or over a log, but also in suspension and handling + a huge difference in range/acceleration.

    For an EV, you don’t need “race car” performance, and heavy chemistries are ok. Bike performance just gets a huge boost from relatively minor cost to improve weight/range and performance.



  • Expect to see temporary reprieves as long as there is bribes or concessions.

    Musk is happy to kill big 3 automakers. Can be goal here. Bribes to Trump is cheaper than responding to a supposedly temporary emergency with rushed expensive new US auto plants mothballing Canadian assets. If he doesn’t take the bribes, because Musk bribed more, lawsuits are likely, or Michigan joining Canada is a better solution than a 25-50% price hike on big 3 autos.






  • If you don’t buy big 3 cars, then Canada “$ for $” tariff retaliation is unlikely to affect us on anything essential. Job losses are likely.

    Trump can claim he’s levying tariffs to address national security concerns, thereby unlocking special trade powers that can help usurp a free-trade deal, experts say.

    Understand that none of this fentanyl/immigrant bs is real. Only extortion to surrender our sovereignty. Treating pretext seriously is a big mistake.

    US is an enemy state, not a troll concerned about fentanyl. Open relations with China, North Korea, Russia to shop Norad sites right away. Any US military on Canadian soil are foreign combatants. Cancel all US weapons purchases.

    We don’t need to ban energy exports, but we should put an “export tariff” on it.


  • UK is indeed “close” to US. Unequal relationship where US keeps dangling free trade deal, but never delivers, no matter how many pipelines Liz Truss helps blow up. It is more of a close political relationship, rather than UK people desperate to follow every war. Musk threatening to liberate UK from liberals they voted for last, is a strain on public opinion. US using Greenland to threaten EU would lose US’s shine as a beacon of freedom, as perhaps tariffs on Canada, to extort its sovereignty, do. UK would see alliance with US much as Canada realizes.


  • In last half hour, plan is for 25% tariffs on everything, Saturday, with oil decided whether exempt or not, tonight.

    Fentanyl was always BS. It is about extorting Canada to surrender sovereignty. Just on fentanyl, it is used in hospitals because it is cheapest opiate. The danger from it,overdosing, is exclusively over contaminating other drugs such that dose is too high. Not that US gives a shit, but making the hospital product the same potency as morpheine, or just going back to morpheine, would be a big step towards making it safer, because some illicit use comes from hospital supplies.
