I was sorting through my dad’s old papers and found this from after his service in the Free Polish Army in WWII.
The words across the top and bottom should have been remembered better.
“Let's reject everything that
divides us.”
“Let's accept everything that unites us”

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

The UCP, and their supporters, are claiming that S33 needed to be used to prevent sterilization of children. But no evidence is provided about the amount of surgery occurring below 18 (puberty blockers are not the same thing as surgery). Is it 0, 5, 50, 500, 5000?

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Now that the notwithstanding clause has become a routine policymaking tool for the UCP, we need to look ahead to their next targets.
This month's AGM will provide clues.

Hermann Goring took no direct role in any murder in Nazi Germany, but he did turn the parliamentary body into a rubber stamp institution and he did enable Hitler's crimes against humanity. For it, he was sentenced to death at Nerumberg. I'm sending Mike Johnson a book about him.

If Smith uses the Notwithstanding clause to force the teachers back to work then all unions in Alberta need to stand with the teachers (ATA)
If they don't it will be the end of the union movement in Alberta, and Canada

I’ve said this long before on “that other place” that Trump has dementia, the symptoms are unmistakable once one has watched older relatives become ever more damaged by the progression of dementia. It’s subtle at first but it snowballs as time passes. There won’t be any doubt in a couple of months.
It's official: Trump is insane
All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president
There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates
