"Healthcare" in Canada includes euthanasia so they don't even need your consent anymore if a Dr. determines you "need" a procedure.  :o

Not going to search this for factual proof, which is difficult in any contentious issue, but have heard from multiple media sources that more Canadian people have been put to death via euthanasia than dogs and other animals this year.

Dear Leftists: Shut the Hell Up About Trump 'Profiting' From Politics

Carrying water for the Democratic Party — especially here in the Year of Our Lord 2026 — is no easy task. Over the years, the Dems' flying monkeys in the mainstream media have amassed quite a playbook filled with go-to tricks to aid in their propaganda efforts. One of the favorites that I have noticed since my early days of writing about media bias is that the MSM hacks have a very specific list of things that they will only complain about when there is a Republican in the White House.

Take homelessness, for example. All coverage of the issue pretty much disappears from the pages of The New York Times and the story ideas for the Big Three news broadcasts. As soon as a Republican hits the Oval Office, a visitor from outer space might think that the United States is 95% "unhoused."
...
... Another thing that only gets discussed when the Republicans have the White House is the net worth of the president. One thing that I don't ever recall getting a lot of ink (I'm old school), is how much money a president was making in addition to his government salary while in office. The Dems are obsessed with that when it comes to Trump. His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Momjeans Obama decided to talk about that last weekend while ostensibly stumping for Abdul El-Sayed (Tim covered that here).

For several months now, the nonsense about Trump using the presidency to make money has been high on the Dems' list of garbage that doesn't mean anything but can still be used to scare their low-info base. It's one of their most pathetic reaches yet.
...
What the Dem media propagandists are never curious about is how people in Congress and the White House amass wealth just from their "public service." For example, we're supposed to believe that Barack Obama increased his net worth by almost $11 million in eight years from book royalties.

The most egregious example, as we all know, is former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is the Warren Buffett of career politicians. There is an app called Autopilot which is an AI-driven investment platform. You just pick an AI curated portfolio, throw in your money, and let HAL 9000 be your financial guru. Autopilot's most popular portfolio is called — I kid you not — the "Pelosi Tracker+."

In the 39 years that Granny Boxwine has been in Congress, no MSM outlet did a deep dive into how she just happened to be just so darn lucky at picking stocks.

Dem-shill MSM partisan double-standard example number 972,856. That Presidents who had business operations outside of politics are not required to shut down those businesses was explicitly and firmly established with Jimmy Carter. Dems, their MSM shills, and social media shill-trolls hope their readers and hearers don't know/remember that.

Mike Waltz gets in shouting match with Cuban delegate at UN as American diplomat assaulted

US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz got into a shouting match Tuesday with Cuba’s foreign minister on the floor of the UN’s General Assembly hall while detailing the communist regime’s ill-gotten wealth.

Waltz called out the Havana government for profiting off of the forced labor of its own citizens sent to concentration camps while using confiscated “businesses, farms, factories, homes and the savings of generations of hardworking Cubans” to line the pockets of its leaders.

As Waltz spoke, Cuba’s delegation banged on the table near their seats to express disapproval before Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla charged toward the rostrum and accused Waltz of lying, causing the US envoy to shout: “Back up!”

“He doesn’t like hard truths,” Waltz told the delegates. “You can come and intimidate all you want.”

“He’s not going to intimidate me in the United States of America — like he tries to intimidate political prisoners,” said Waltz, raising his voice at Parrilla as UN officials tried to restore order.
...
A video obtained by The Post showed fellow US diplomat J.P. Freire being assaulted by another member of the Cuban delegation who tried to grab Freire’s iPhone as he was recording the confrontation.
...
The broadside against “corrupt Cuban elites” at one point featured Waltz displaying a photo of late dictator Fidel Castro wearing two Rolex watches worth around $40,000 in today’s money.

“According to the regime’s own statistics, that would pay for 55 years of an average Cuban wage,” Waltz noted, before showing a photo of Miguel Díaz-Canel and saying, “It didn’t just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban president, also with a Rolex on.”

Are MSM outlets demading Waltz's head on a pike? Maybe a hate-thread or three on DU?

Maine Absentee Ballot Envelopes Ended Up at a Soros-Tied Organization in Maryland

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/10/27/outlet-says-maine-absentee-ballot-envelopes-ended-up-at-soros-tied-maryland-hq-n4958737

The state of Maine seems reluctant to look further into a 2025 case in which hundreds of absentee ballot envelopes ended up in a different state and at a location with ties to the Soros family money machine. A local outlet says state officials closed the case, even though they had not produced any answers or solutions.

UPS told Attorney General Aaron Frey’s (D-Maine) office that it required a subpoena before it would release any details about the envelopes, and Frey decided he would rather not know. He didn’t think there was sufficient evidence to justify a subpoena, according to The Maine Wire. Why worry about 500 ballot envelopes ending up at a sketchy NGO headquarters in another state?

It is not clear why the NGO might have wanted the envelopes, of course. And it's strange that the envelopes were separate from the ballots.

The Maine Wire’s Steve Robinson already put out a detailed examination of the case and the records he was able to obtain, noting that the NGO, which operates out of a residential home in Maryland, has lobbying connections to more than one Maine Democrat official.

Gee, how might ~500 official absentee ballot envelopes be used to sway a local race - Representative, legislature, mayor or city council , etc., in a state that doesn't meaningfully verify eligibility?

Well, another swing and miss!

Lard Lumpy probably threw ketchup again?

The DOJ failed once again to bring charges against Hutchinson for Lumpy’s pleasures!

Another grand's jury declined to bring any indictments against her!

Just another reason why we need to stop this nonsense!

What is the real story about this? Can't believe these idiots.

Trying to divine between ignorance or lying in hope that readers don't know better is frequently a question about the crazed claims from the Prog commentariat.

I've often had this reaction when reading/listening to Democrats talk. If they say something stupid when they know better, then perhaps they simply think everyone else is stupid. Or maybe they're letting you know they're not going to change their position, and they just want us to buzz off.

It went on for 20 minutes? And the guy didn't just move on? He didn't call his supervisor to say someone was harassing him? All so you could feel like you were being a "resistor" by ruining some MAGA voter's day?

I think that makes you the shithead.

Definitely a shithead, I heard this exact joke 10 years ago. One more reason to doubt it.

Police are not likely to issue parking tickets unless called, they have parking enforcement for that.

This never happened as they would have been arrested for disorderly conduct or obstruction.
