Thomas's Gifting Ballistic!

Posted By David Cotterell

I'm still baffled that a sitting judge, from traffic court all the way up to the Supreme Court is allowed to accept gifts/donations from anyone.  It seems quite obvious that these gifts open the door to any and all kinds of nefarious shenanigans.

Should have stopped there.  Any normal human being would have.  But NO! You just HAD to keep going.  


I do this because I want to be the first on the list before the lefties come running as soon as they see this post so that they can get out their pom poms and slobber all over you and give you high fives, that are certainly coming your way!  

Congrats!  I'm going to have a Bourbon and Coke to celebrate and I don't even drink.  

I can't wait to see the responses soon to get here.  smile

Get some help.

Sounds just a little bit like Mao's Communist China, however it is Canada..

Posted By David Cotterell

The College of Psychiatrists of Ontario are the ones forcing Peterson to take the courses as a result of their ruling of professional misconduct against him.

The Court merely upheld the right of the College to apply their own standards which, I am quite sure, are written down and that Peterson is well aware of.

I have seen the postings Peterson made and I can assure you that if I had posted similar diatribes during my teaching career I, too, would have faced  discipline from my professional governing body, the Ontario College of Teachers, for professional misconduct.  

Communism?  Mao?   

Yeah, right...

Canada...... OR is it China Jr?

I surely understand why 10s of million of American citizens thank their lucky stars every day that they Live south of that border.   

Canada is just filled with leftists and liberals.  

Seems that their are very few conservatives up there.... Probably because they are sitting in jail for speaking their minds.  smile

P.S. Perhaps those same judges up there will jail him if he dares to broadcast his coerced re-education.  

Wouldn't surprise me one bit.  
Again, as I pointed out in another thread, the judges did not order his 'Re-Education'.  The Governing body of his profession has ordered it because Peterson violated the rules of his profession, not the laws of Canada.  He thought the ruling of his governing body was unfair so he took it to court.  The judges ruled that the decision of the governing body was not unfair and refused to overturn it.

You haven't been able to grasp this rather important distinction.  Twice.

Justin Trudeau has hideous approval ratings up north in Canada, barely able to eke out a dismal 33%

Pulling out a 33% approval rating from the Canucks up there where their form of gov't is even MORE socialist than the US.  

Pretty sad for the black faced wearing mini dictator up there.  
My feeling (and wish) is that the behind-the-scenes advisors and senior party people will convince him to step down to allow Freeland a crack at the job.  Election coming in '24 or '25 IIRC so they will want to do this fairly soon.  

Fun fact:  The black-face thing - he was at a costume party dressed as the genie from the Aladdin Disney movie.  This character had BLUE skin and J.T. wore blue make-up exactly like the Blue Man group does.  The black and white photograph gave every appearance that it was blackface when, in fact, it was not.

Thanks to Bidenomics, the Average cost of purchasing a Home now $14,000 MORE PER YEAR under Joe Biden vs. Trump

When Donald Trump left office, the average cost to Purchase a $400,000 Home would incur a mortgage payment of $1600 per month as one's monthly payment. 

Today Under Joe Biden, the cost of a mortgage has gone up from $1600 per month or $19,200 per year, now will cost that same family $2800 Per Month, for a total of $33,600 per year for 30 years.

Nice!  

Bidenomics IN action   smile  
Here in Toronto the average cost of a home is in the $1 000 000 range as the prices have risen precipitously over the past few years.  Biden is as much at fault for this as he is for the prices in the USA....

 $400 000???  I wish.

A great day in Santa Fe

Posted By David Cotterell

Good images, guys!

Toronto we got 28% eclipse through cloud and occasional clear sunshine.   The cloud forecast was much worse than what actually occurred so I didn't bother setting up my wee refractor...

But, suddenly, blue skies!!  About 15 minutes before maximum eclipse...

Grabbed my Kendrick solar filter and ventured out in front of the apartment for some eyeball viewing.. clouds obscured it after 5 minutes but at least I saw it..

I'm looking forward to April 8 now.  I shall be viewing from my friend's home in Georgetown TX with 3m10s of totality....  Or we will do a 150 mile scramble towards the SW or NE as the day dictates.

Does it worry anyone that the new speaker is a card-carrying election denier? 13 months from the 2024 election......

Does anyone on the right ever really listen to Donald J. Trump? Btw the J stands for genius.

I was so busy in the White House.” He added: “My threshold was China, Russia and keeping our country safe.”

This is the GOP front runner folks.
Jim, you left out the punchline - the judge had to inform Trump that he wasn't president in 2021...

I simply cannot fathom that Trump is a viable possibility to win the Presidency back next year and is leading in some polls...
