  • It’s also that many are deciding not to visit the United States, dealing a blow to countless resorts and travel businesses that once relied on a steady stream of Canadian visitors.

    On a normal year, roughly 70% of the daily golfers at the Bluff Point Golf Resort in Plattsburgh, New York are Canadians. Not this year.

    “It’s been a dramatic drop. It’s very rare that we see someone pull in to play golf that’s coming from Canada,” said Paul Dame, owner of Bluff Point Golf Resort, which is located just 35 minutes from downtown Montreal.

    No shit, Sherlock. Are YOU going to go to a country where there’s a substantial chance you could be arrested and indefinitely detained and maybe sent to a gulag in some third country?

    “The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done."

    If you voted for Trump, or chose not to vote at all, then it you sure as fuck deserve your share of the blame.




  • Last week he urged the court to urgently intervene, saying that if the court did not take action, his website, Infowars, was at risk of being turned over to the satirical news site The Onion.

    The proposed acquisition would be used to help fund payments to family members of the Sandy Hook victims.

    Jones’ lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

    Ideological nemesis? Really? Infowars has always been a joke. Under The Onion at least it’ll also be funny.






  • The assessment found that PFNA interferes with human development by causing lower birth weights and, based on animal evidence, likely causes damage to the liver and to male reproductive systems, including reductions in testosterone levels, sperm production and the size of reproductive organs.

    Likely causes reductions in the size of reproductive organs. You would think that this at least would get the attention of these people. I know they don’t care about much, but I’m shocked that they are not panicked over the likelihood that their sons are all going to have tiny dicks like Trump.


  • “‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

    I confess that I know nothing about cancelling reservations like this, but who exactly has the power to cancel a reservation after you’ve gone through security, picked up your boarding passes, and checked your bags? Could some rando have called the airline and done it at that point? I would think that the computer would flag the customer service person that the traveler was already checked in and ready to board. But then, maybe I’m giving their systems too much credit.



  • The people that won were the only bidders.

    And they may not even get it.

    Federal officials did not immediately say if they would accept the offer. It was the only bid received.

    The Fed could end up saying that the bid was too low and may not accept it despite there being no other offers. This is far, far less than they were hoping for, I’m sure. Per the article, the last successful lease in the area was “$793 million, or $1.10 per ton, for 721 million tons of coal in Wyoming.” This bid is $186,000 to lease 167 million tons which comes to something like like $0.001 per ton. The last coal lease was worth 1000 times more than this bid.




  • Did you notice that Trump called them “unlawful combatants” in this article? That phrase may ring a bell.

    George W. Bush’s cronies invented the phrase during his reign of terror, or as he called it, his war on terror. He said that there were people who were neither enemy combatants, nor civilians. They were a third category: Unlawful Combatants. The conventions that protect prisoners of war did not apply to such _unlawful _ combatants. Such people could be arrested, indefinitely detained, tortured, or even killed without charge or trial. This was the justification for G. W. Bush’s extraordinary rendition program that had U.S. agencies kidnapping people off the streets of the US and other nations and shipping them to black sites where they could be tortured indefinitely.

    The repeated use of the phrases unlawful combatant and narco-terrorist tells me all I need to know about where they plan to go with this.
