This is when we savor the sweetness of our total victory. This is when we quaff our ale and pound our shields after defeating the orc hordes, at least temporarily: “Remember today, little brother. Today, life is good.” Life is good today; tomorrow, we fight again.

In 1915, it was the Canadian Corps’ first Christmas on the Western Front and in a trench near Ypres their enemy was inviting them over for a party.

“Is America ready for that? Are they ready for a woman of color to be President of the United States?” Kamala Harris asked a month before dropping out of the 2020 primaries.
Five years later, the consensus is not that Harris wasn’t ready, but America still wasn’t.
“Kamala Harris didn’t lose, America did. As a nation, we collectively failed her,” John Pavlovitz, a liberal Christian blogger, damned.

As you’ve likely heard several times by now, Donald Trump’s decisive victory on Tuesday was “the greatest political comeback in American history.” It’s not an exaggeration, and while some media commentators (like those on Fox News, which I was watching on election night) made the observation in positive wonderment, most admitted it through gritted teeth.
I grew up in Melbourne, in the bosom of my Jewish family. While my parents were observant they were not religious, God wasn’t a feature of my Jewish education; I believed in Jews and I didn’t need to believe in God to do that.
When I was growing up and attending my Church of England school, my parents would occasionally ask me if I was experiencing any anti-Semitism. I always said no, I thought they were paranoid, I was dismissive of their concerns. Anti-Semitism was something from history, not something I had encountered.

Canada may need to let Trump be ‘senior partner’ in U.S. relations: GOP critic
Ottawa may have to let U.S. president-elect Donald Trump act as the “senior partner” in the Canada-U.S. relationship, even if that makes Canadians “bristle,” a prominent Republican critic of the incoming president says.
Jeff Timmer, a longtime Republican official and strategist in Michigan who helped lead efforts aimed at defeating Trump in the past two U.S. elections, says the Canadian government will need to treat Trump as “the guy in charge” to ensure Canada’s interests are safeguarded during what’s expected to be a protectionist U.S. administration.
Like the US is gonna let Justin dictate terms.
They couldn’t abide him.
And they made no secret of it.
The “they” here is the so-called “mainstream” media – aka in reality the liberal media.
“Him” of course is Donald Trump. That would now be President-elect Donald Trump. A president-elect who won his race in a landslide, winning both the Electoral College and, in a first for a GOP candidate since 2004, the national popular vote as well.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced voters in Cloverdale—Langley City will pick their next member of Parliament on Dec. 16.
The byelection in British Columbia will be a third test for the Liberals, who have already lost two long-held seats in the last several months.
The successive byelection losses and dismal poll numbers have inspired public calls from inside and outside of Trudeau’s caucus for him to resign as party leader.
California’s electric vehicle mandates, which go into effect next year, are “impossible” to meet and will result in reduced choices on dealer lots.
“I have not seen a forecast by anyone,” Jack Hollis, chief operating officer of Toyota Motor North America, said on a Friday roundtable discussion, “government or private, anywhere that has told us that that number is achievable. At this point, it looks impossible.”
More than three weeks after the FBI first offered a reward of up to $50,000 US for information leading to the arrest of Ryan Wedding, investigators say tips have been coming in. But the manhunt continues for the former Team Canada Olympic snowboarder, accused of leading a murderous, transnational drug trafficking operation.
“The FBI has, and continues to receive, information related to the whereabouts of Ryan Wedding,” FBI spokesperson Rukelt Dalberis told CBC News in an email. “Tips received at this point have yet to lead to an arrest.”
President-Elect Donald Trump had made peace in Europe a key campaign pledge, but several NATO member states are dedicated to total Ukrainian victory and will discuss how to “thwart” him and keep Kyiv in the war even if Washington withdraws support.
My Spidey sense says FAFO imminent.
Toronto’s tourism industry hopes Taylor Swift can help shake off slump with Eras Tour concerts
Toronto’s sagging tourism industry is hoping for a Taylor Swift lift, as the pop superstar’s six shows at Rogers Centre starting this week attract hundreds of thousands of fans expected to spend more than $150-million on hotels, food and friendship bracelets.
But the long-term effects of Swiftonomics remain questionable.
The only thing Swift will accomplish is creating even more tourists vowing never to return to this shithole and they will spread that message far and wide.
Come for the concert …
Stay for the homeless encampments!
Stay for the traffic chaos!
Stay for the Death Cult street takeovers!
If anybody thought that Trump was just running for president to avoid prosecution (yes, a lot of Democrats did believe that!), his initial moves as president-elect should dispel that notion and put them on notice that he intends to win bigly.

It was a particularly brutal, shocking murder. Accenting the horror was the age and gender of the suspected killers.
There were eight of them, girls, aged 13 to 16, and they were allegedly on a mission of mayhem.
Nearly two years after the mobbing attack that left 59-year-old homeless man Kenneth Lee dead, the matter is still making its way through the courts.
A soldier accused of spying for Iran has pleaded guilty to escaping from prison under a food catering truck and going on the run for four days while he was awaiting trial.
Daniel Khalife, 23, from Kingston, southwest London, changed his plea to the prison escape charge, halfway through giving evidence at Woolwich crown court.
He faces cross-examination on the spying charges in Monday’s hearing.
