So this @people.com is trash.

What is it with idiots who are convinced Diana was stupid or crazy or naive with the media?

Is this book more Camilla revenge? That woman is a witch.

Biden quoted Trump at the 2024 WHCA dinner saying he wants to be “dictator on day one” and get “revenge” and the media eyerolled and said Biden was old.

Then the @NYTimes and Clooney led the fight to destroy Biden and the Dems. Still are.

Appeasing Dictators never pays off. People never learn

And yes it HAS to be babies who get the MMR combined shots with boosters for teens because we experimented, (unintentionally) with teenagers only getting the shots and the diseases still spread.

We needed infants, kids, teens and grown adults to all have immunity or it all kept spreading.
periodicity, averaging 7 years [51]. When rubella vaccination became feasible, both the United States and the United Kingdom embarked on vaccination pro-grams. In the United States, the strategy was to vaccinate in-fants, so that eventually the reservoir in childhood would be abolished [52]. In contrast, the United Kingdom decided on a program of vaccinating adolescent girls [53]. Both strategies were partial successes, in that CRS incidence began to decrease. However, both were also partial failures, because in the United States pregnant women were still being exposed to rubella in children and adults, and in the United Kingdom unvaccinated girls who refused vaccination were still exposed to rubella cases because of circulation of virus in the male population and children. Each country revised its strategy to include both universal immunization of infants and targeted vaccination of adolescent girls and adult women. Military recruits and health care workers were also singled out for vaccination [54]. Meanwhile, a second dose of MMR vaccine became standard,

This is just one of many emails I have received.

Proof that Canada Post business is being redirected to Purolator. Just as CUPW claimed.

Meanwhile 16 months ago, Joe Biden asked the WHCA dinner to look hard at what Trump was saying, He said he “wanted to be a dictator right from day 1” …and the media bitterly complained that night that he was “trying to tell us how to report”

And then you never demanded any health report of Trump!
On the third anniversary of January 6th, I went to Valley Forge. And I said the most urgent question of our time is whether democracy is still — is still the sacred cause of America. That is the question the American people must answer this year. And you, the free press, play a critical role in making sure the American people have the information they need to make an informed decision. The defeated former President has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He has said he wants to be a "dictator on day one," and so much more. He tells supporters he is their "revenge" and "retribution." When in God's name have you heard another president say something like that? And he promised a "bloodbath" when he loses again. We have to take this seriously. Eight years ago, you could have writte as just Trump talk. But no longer. No longer. Not after January 6th. I'm sincerely not asking of you to take sides but asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment; move past the horserace numbers and the gotcha moments and the distractions, the sideshows that have come to dominate and sensantio- - sensationalize our politics; and focus on what's actually at stake. I think, in your hearts, you know what's at stake. The stakes couldn't be higher. Every single one of us has roles to play - a serious role to play in making sure democracy endures - American democracy. I have my role, but, with all due respect, so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information that people can trust is more important than ever. And that makes you - and I mean this from the bottom of my heart — it makes you more important than ever. So, tonight, I'd like to make a toast. To a free press, to an informed citizer an America where freedom and democracy endure. God bless America, (Applause.)

Did you ever wonder why MAGA is so into WASP Evangelicalism?

From The West Wing:

“Catholics don’t believe man is saved through faith alone. Catholics believe faith has to be joined with good works.”

Thoughts and prayers are supposed to inspire actions.

Dear @cnn.com at the 2024 WHCA Dinner your pundits sneered at Biden for suggesting you treat Trump like a real threat, not a normal candidate.

Accurately, say he wants to be dictator on Day 1.

Instead you just laughed it off.

Are you laughing now?

Found this full page ad in the Globe this morning, from Stelco…they claim we allow cheap steel from China and lots of other places tariff free. Something about allowing 65% imports just because 2024 was that high.
Someone help fact check? Is this true?
#cdnpoli #Stelco #Trade
In today’s Globe & Mail, full page ad on A17 CANADIANS NEED HELP Nearly 2/3rds of the Canadian steel market is in the hands of imported steel. Canadian flat rolled steel mills like Stelco can no longer sell into the U.S. market like they have done in the past, and the Canadian government cannot change that unilaterally. That's a fact. But the Canadian mills could sell in Canada, if the domestic market had not been taken by artificially cheap foreign steel. This steel is coming not only from China, but also from all the countries that have Free-Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Canada. What has the Canadian government done so far to resolve the problem? Effectively, nothing. The Canadian politicians fail to grasp the real problem and continue to aim at the wrong target. Canada is the most open dumping ground for steel in the entire world. The Canadian government allowance for 100% of 2024 import levels for all 53 countries with FTAs with Canada is not even barely effective to change the reality on the ground. Canadian politicians seem to be fine with 65% import penetration. Canada must act decisively. Self-Help is the best help. The Canadian domestic market for flat rolled steel is big enough to accommodate all domestic Canadian steel production. But only 1/3 of the market is not enough. Continuing to allow for foreign produced steel to dominate the domestic Canadian market will affect Canadian companies, Canadian jobs, and Canadian workers. We call on the Government of Canada to implement strong, enforceable protections to preserve the Canadian domestic steel industry and defend Canada's economic and national security interests. That should unite all Canadians. Self-help is the only solution, and it is easily available for politicians that will do more than easy talk. The time for action is now.

Looked up the Times minute by minute thing. It says that they kept Trump down until 42 seconds later when the Secret Service heard “shooter down”
Then they let him up. Still…I wish he had allowed reporters to follow him to hospital and allowed them to get photos and medical records.
About 42 seconds after shooting began Agents stay crouched over Mr. Trump until an agent can be heard saying, “Shooter down.” The Secret Service confirmed later in a statement that its “personnel neutralized the shooter.” The crowd claps and cheers as agents help Mr. Trump stand up. When he gets up, streaks of blood are visible on his right ear and across his face. His security begins to usher him toward the stairs, but before leaving the stage Mr. Trump pauses and raises his fist, pumping it in the air and appearing to mouth the words “Fight! Fight! Fight!” The crowd breaks into a chant of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”

These are the Doug Mills NYT photos he won a Pulitzer for where he caught the photo of the bullet by chance.
Sony at 30 FPS and 1/8000ths /sec shutter speed
The other factor is the speed of the bullet from the firearm. On Saturday law enforcement authorities recovered an AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle at the scene from a deceased white man they believe was the gunman. "If the gunman was firing an AR-15-style rifle, the .223-caliber or 5.56-millimeter bullets they use travel at roughly 3,200 feet per second when they leave the weapon's muzzle," Mr. Harrigan said. "And with a 1/8,000th of a second shutter speed, this would allow the bullet to travel approximately four-tenths of a foot while the shutter is open." "Most cameras used to capture images of bullets in flight are using extremely high speed specialty cameras not normally utilized for regular photography, so catching a bullet on a side trajectory as seen in that photo would be a one in a million shot and nearly impossible to catch even if one knew the bullet was coming," he said.

These mothereffing Conservatives KNOW it’s school board deficits are structural. Inflation affects governments too.

$693 million shortfall for English boards alone.

Over $2 Billion in cuts over 7 years. Even though the population has risen.
#onpoli #Cdnpoli

www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
Boards, however, have argued that funding levels from the province, while higher than in the past, in reality have not nearly kept up with their actual costs, especially when inflation is factored in, nor covered mandatory increases they must cover, such as employment insurance. The Ontario Public School Boards Association has said that when the Ford government took power in 2018, per-pupil funding was $12,282, and in the upcoming school year will be $14,560 - but when adjusted to 2018 dollars, funding has actually dropped, leaving a $693-million gap for the province's 31 English public boards alone
