Rapper and geopolitical genius.

Militarily the only thing Joe Biden knows is to cut and run.

Quote III

"At stake is the NATO Alliance, in terms of our unity, joining together — through, sometimes, compromise; certainly always through collaboration — to be a unified voice, especially when these very founding principles of our relationship are being compromised, if not attacked.”VP Kamala Harris

Mush Brains as President and Mush Mouth as Vice President

Quote IV

What a super tough law & order judge she is.

Quote V

‘This is, yes, the beginning of an invasion, Russia’s latest invasion into Ukraine, and you’re already seeing the beginning of our response which we said will be swift and severe,’ US Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer

Vlad is trembling in his boots Mr. Finer. ***SNORT***

Canadian toughness is once again demonstrated.

Canadian politician Mark Strahl on Feb. 20 claimed that a single mom with a minimum wage job had her bank account frozen after she “legally” donated $50 to the Freedom Convoy.

Strahl, a Conservative, took to Twitter to criticize Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the Emergencies Act, which was invoked for the first time in Canada’s history to address the impact of the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions by truckers and their supporters.

“Briane is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job,” Strahl wrote on Twitter on Feb. 20. “She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn’t participated in any other way. Her bank account has now been frozen. This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders.”

Strahl was soon pressed by other Twitter users to provide further details and verification regarding his claims about the single mother and her allegedly frozen bank account.

However, the Chilliwack-Hope MP refused to do so, stating that he did not want to publish identifying information about the woman online that could be used with malicious intent.

I'm surprised the Press hasn't found this dastardly woman. How dare she make minimum wage and donate to the people who keep her down.

Our neighbors to the north are hogging tonight's spotlight here at The ONT. Who does Vlad laugh more at, Justine or Uncle Joe?

Canada announces new sanctions on Russia amid Ukraine tensions

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is sending hundreds more troops to eastern Europe and imposing new sanctions on Russia in response to the deployment of forces into Ukraine.

The prime minister says up to 460 additional Canadian Armed Forces members are being sent to Latvia and the surrounding region to bolster NATO in the face of Russian aggression.

I know, Vlad never thought of these unintended consequences.

An enjoyable 6 minutes of Paul Joseph Watson.

"Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face"

BERLIN, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Germany on Tuesday halted the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea gas pipeline project, designed to double the flow of Russian gas direct to Germany, after Russia formally recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.

Europe's most divisive energy project, worth $11 billion, was finished in September, but has stood idle pending certification by Germany and the European Union.

The pipeline had been set to ease the pressure on European consumers facing record energy prices amid a wider post-pandemic cost of living crisis, and on governments that have already forked out billions to try to cushion the impact on consumers.

I feel much better knowing that the next generation of vipers will be attuned to the nuances of "feelings".

American Bar Association requires law schools to educate students on 'bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism'

According to the ABA, future lawyers have an obligation 'to work to eliminate racism in the legal profession.'

The ABA has also added categories such as “ethnicity,” “gender identity or expression” and “military status” to language that already included race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability.

Yes, there are good lawyers. And yes, I shouldn't paint such a wide picture. Yes, I know we have Moron attorneys. So lighten up.

Green activists could have gotten by cheaper employing Bill Kristol and the solidly masculine Jonah Goldberg. Associated Press is now the Associated Whores.

When climate activists called for more coverage, the Associated Press went green.

No, it didn’t dive into environmental activism. The news agency had already done that. It dove into a pile of cash — more than $8 million.

AP just announced it sold its gold-standard journalism for 20 bright, shiny new reporters under the benign headline “Climate grant illustrates growth in philanthropy-funded news.” The announcement was adorned with a photo of a polar bear (of course) because journalists do love their cute, man-eating predators.

That $8 million over three years works out to about $133,000 per staffer — in case you’re interested in buying (or renting) a journalist or two.

Those grifters Kristol and Goldberg are slipping in their advanced age.

What's next, ketchup vs. mustard on hotdogs? Washington Free Beacon drinks trendy light beers so you don't have to.

It must have been a slow opinion day. I would like to argue the other side. Perhaps those pedestrians should be more careful when crossing the street.

When I was growing up in rural Colorado, my family had a classic work truck: a 1980 F-150 with the famous 300 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engine. It was often my task to fetch a load of sand for mixing concrete, or landscaping soil, or lumber for some project. It was a great truck, with only one problem — the oil pressure relief valve was a little sticky, so if you started it up cold and let it idle, the oil filter would sometimes explode. You had to give it some throttle immediately to shake loose the valve, after which it would be fine. It was just one of those little quirks that you adapt to with a hard-used piece of equipment.

That sort of truck is hard to come by in the consumer market these days. Trucks have gotten bigger, taller, gotten larger blind spots, and become much more powerful, luxurious, and expensive. Almost nobody even makes small pickups anymore, like the 1986 Toyota Hilux that I drove in college. The Toyota Tacoma, which used to be in that segment, is now almost as big as my old F-150.

This behemoth design trend — particularly the very tall, square front end seen in so many SUVs and trucks today — is both pointless and dangerous. Manufacturers have known for years that this style of vehicle is much more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, yet they keep making them bigger, taller, and heavier. Trucks and SUVs now make up fully 70 percent of all new cars sold in the U.S. Their bloated design is killing people, especially pedestrians.

A 1999 Ford F150 is just as dangerous as a 2022 Ford F 150 to a pedestrian. This guy's shit is retarded and he talks like a fag.

Let's Go Brandon Fvck Joe Biden.

At least one fan told a Fox reporter that he was writing “F*ck Joe Biden” on the finish line as the Daytona 500 came to a close on Sunday.

If you're boring and don't do as well men financially. Do the American thing: work harder and produce a better product Litigate:

The US women's national team has reached a deal to end its long-running and much-discussed equal-pay lawsuit.

The US Soccer Federation — the country's governing body for the sport — has agreed to pay the USWNT players $22 million in back pay after 28 athletes sued the federation over pay discrimination in 2019 and filed a complaint with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission three years before that.

If anyone should litigate it is this young man. You go Kyle!

I'm curious as to what her BAC was. Genius Award Winner.

FEBRUARY 21--After she was refused service by a bar manager, a drunk Florida Lawyer went into the restroom and then emerged “unclothed and completely naked,” according to police who charged her with disorderly conduct.

According to an arrest report, Kelly Elkins, 49, entered the Beach Lounge in St. Pete Beach around 2:15 AM Friday, but was “intoxicated to the point the manager refused to server her.”

Instead of departing, Elkins “walked into the restroom and then came back out into the bar unclothed and completely naked.” When Elkins, seen at right, refused the manager’s requests to get dressed, cops were summoned.
