Frightening

"Destination: Color Revolution".

DataRepublican has been doing a very deep dive into the current Deep State project to take Donald Trump out after the Midterm elections, dropping chunks of her investigation, including receipts from an insider who leaked video, audio, and documents from a wide-ranging, shall we call it a "plot," to amp up resistance to Trump and to create a Constitutional crisis that would, they hope, reshape the entire political landscape.
Including the Constitution.

And protecting us from all this is, what, the GOP? God help us.

The curse of the low information voter

"Man Frustrated By Gas Prices Votes To Start Castrating Kids Again".

The Babylon Bee, of course.

Canada looks for alternatives to Starlink

Don Surber: "Actually, it is rocket science, Canada".

On September 29, 1962, Canada became the third country to design and build its own satellite. The USA put Alouette 1 in space. Canada has never used its own rocket to launch a satellite into orbit.
In 64 years since Alouette 1, Canada has launched a free health care system that now just goes ahead and kills patients rather than treat them. Social justice spending accounts for 17.2% (one-sixth) of its GDP.
0.043% of its gross domestic product goes to space, the Final Frontier.
Canada’s main contributions to space are actors William Shatner and James Doohan, who played Captain Kirk and Scottie, respectively, on Star Trek.
To put its satellites in orbit, Canada now uses SpaceX.

On another note: Voters in Alberta wussed out and voted overwhelmingly to reject independence from Canada.

Keep living in Big Brother's basement, guys. See where it gets you.

It may seem a strange thing to say...

...but if I were a native-born Frenchman who venerated western civilization, my fear would be that there won't be a civil war, just complete capitulation. "France on Fire".

When a leading French writer, Michel Houllebecq, warns that “We are witnessing a disintegration. It is a catastrophe,” and the former chief of the defense staff under Macron, Pierre de Villiers, says that “we are in a strange period, and my fear is civil war,” the Western world needs to listen. Muslims constitute a larger share of the population in France than in any other European country. What they do in France, which the far-left party La France Insoumise and its demagogic leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, shamefully supports, is what they will soon be doing elsewhere.
