Celticbiker:
The answer is easy!
Because in Trump’s first term, both the Rino Republicans and Democrats were 100% against him!
When out of office, Trump wrestled controll of the Republican party away from the Rinos.
Now known̈ Rinos are more afraid to step out of line or they will be out of the money loop.
Yeah, follow the flow of money!Trump’s Actions:
Another way to think of Trump’s recent actions of firing or sending government people home with pay, is he is simply cutting off the installed spying eyes and ears of the deep state and congress inside the government!
The True Meaning of the Law:
Trump is doing exactly what Joe Biden and Obama thought of the law.
Joe Biden and Obama didn’t think of the law, one bit!Congress taught Trump very well what the law meant, in his first term.
They then reinforced the meaning of the law via lawfare, when he was out of office!Now Trump isn’t telling Congress what he is going to do!
He just does it!
Then says what are you going to do about it!
He learn̈ed that is the true meaning of the law!Canada’s Health Care:
Interestingly Canada’s government run health care system was set up before inflation took off.
This has allowed governments to somewhat control the rate of health care wage inflation.
Thereis a hidden cost as Canada trains the doctors, nurses, medical technicians, of whom a certain percentage leave for the US every year.Michael:
Soil Making – Consolidated Moose Pasture:
I think soil making is already a big back breaking job as it is.
Laying gown alders on the ground instead of feeding them into a wood chipper seems like a lot less effort.
By trading time, you can let Mother Nature do all the wood chipping for you.Red’s idea for making charcoal in a steel drum also seems very labour intensive, producing little volume, unless you are in a hurry with the alders.
Putting a layer of muck on top of a layer of alders, then repeating the layers, sounds much easier.
One thing you could do to help Mother Bature speed up the composting, would be to build a cold frame, and cover it with heavy plastic so over tye summer it better traps tge sun’s energy making it warmer inside thus speeding up the composting.
You may need to open the coldframe plastic, from time to time, to let some rain water in to moisten the compost mixture.
I suspect putting in a little fertilizer in the compost mix may also help the composting process.I know here in Peel region they have natural gas heated composers that can do the basic composting in weeks or months.
By loosely covering your composting material you can trap a bit of the sun’s energy.
Maybe you only need to put a few rocks on top of the compost mix to create a little dead air space would be even better than building a cold frame.I am sort of guided by my stomick method.
If it feels like too much work, then think of an easier way!So lay down your multi layers of alders and muck, anything else, place a few rocks on top for air space and then cover with plastic for warmth.
Open plastic cover for some rain.So farm out as much of the hard work as you can to Mother Nature!
All she will ask in return is that you give her a little time!
And to boot she will do a better job than you can!Good Luck!
Moon of Alabama has an interesting story on a Chinese company DeepSeek that can do everything OpenAI can do but much, much, cheaper!
Like 1/30th the cost!
DeepSeek is open sourced unlike OpenAI.
DeepSeek uses far less training data than OpenAI.
DeepSeek uses less computing power, therefore less power, too.So Trump’s $500 billion project can probably be done for millions!
All thanks to US Sanctions on China!Hi Michael:
Yes, good to still be alive!
I have no experince making soil.
As far as I know anders are not acidic like spruce (?) needles are so the only questiin is how to chop them up into mulch.
I have never operated a wood chipper, so I don’t really know how they chop wood into chips.I am guessing in your neck of the woods, trees take longer to rot.
The twigs and leaves less time.
Even here in Toronto it takes 1 or 2 years to compost them.I know there are lots of swamps around but trying to get muck from them is back breaking hard, your footing is poor, and most of what you lift is just water!
You make a big pile, and after it dries, you have a flat pile!I would be surprised if you have any peat bogs, but again back breaking wet work.
Probably easier to just buy dried peat bundles.Not sure if you can used your small boat to access better local soils and just borrow some?
Or maybe next summer get some soil ready to be transported during the winter by ski doo?
All back breaking work!Maybe other TAE commentators have experience with wood chippers?
P.S. Don’t forget to collect your saw/chainsaw sawdust!
Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have departed, commenting on TAE has nearly fallen off a cliff!
I guess good news doesn’t attract comments, the way bad news does?Ukraine War:
Trump may have suspended aid for 90 days, but I see no outrage from the deep state regarding arms being supplied to the Ukraine.
So, obviously it is business as usual for Biden approved arms, to continue flowing into the Ukraine.
Enough arms were likely sent by Biden to supply Ukraine for most of 2025.
The CIA is likely squeezing Nato to suppply more arms to the Ukraine for 2025 too.
That might explain the new suddenly higher Trump 5% limit from 2% for Nato.
Europe now needs to step up and fund the war in Ukraine, to keep the CIA happy.The video of Trump and Biden with wives, seems to show the tall fake Biden who is almost as tall as Trump.
Check those lower earlobes too.
Just saying.Rumor?
Some are saying Trump stripped Bolton of his security clearance and his security detail?Zerosum:
Looks like a few Chinese drug smugglers aren’t too happy about the fence!
Guessing US putting up the fence?
Trudope can’t be too happy as his kickbacks for looking the other way will now drop!Thanks Dr. John Day!
I may have just solved one more reason why America commercially made breads burn 50% easier than Canadian bread.
First reason is the higher sugar content.
The second reason maybe spraying toxic Gylpostrate? on grains to speed up drying before harvesting.Ukraine:
It is clear Trump had to concede Ukraine to the deepest ate so this war will continue.
Thanks Doc Robinson:
So the pardons are a sweet deal then!
Plead the 5th and only accept the pardon if necessary!
Like having a free “get out of jail” card in your back pocket!
mpsk:
Ticks and ash borers are apparently tough to kill since they can create their own anti – freeze.
The best conditions for killing ticks is many days of -15 F cold temperatures with no snow cover.
If there is plenty of snow cover, then cold temperatures mean little, as the snow insulates zee bugs!As for ash borers they are really hard to kill if they have plenty of snow cover.
Per Minnesota, – 10 F will kill 34%, – 20 F will kill 79%, and – 30 F will kill 98%, (assuming little snow cover?)Here in Toronto, I think we are close to tick killing temperatures because we have very little snow cover, but sadly no where close to killing our ash borers.
Less we forget.
Zuckburg shorted DJT Media stock just before the Butler assassination.
He knew.
Waiting for an anvil to fall on Zuck!Zerosum:
Nice to see the 50 retired CIA officials are being targeted where it really hurts!
In zapping their presumed entitled private pensions, earned while betraying their country!Now they each need to be run through the court system for good measure!
Just like they routinely ran their victims through.Too bad the 50 couldn’t be sentenced to be Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered!
mpsk:
One possible way to view taking back US sovereignty, is a way to cut the deep state back down to size and regain control of them, by attacking their independent (non – US gov) sources of funding.
Zee will eat zee bugs!
I guess you prefer zee bugs frozen!Cold spell might also help reduce tick population too.
Doc Robinson:

Thanks for the pardon info.Those questioning the pardons don’t have a leg to stand on as far as expecting the Supreme Court to even consider such a pardon challenge.
The supreme court will simply ignore any such cases and so will lower courts.
Question:
Has any president before Joe Biden, ever issued preemptive pardons?
Is there such a legal term as preemptive pardon in the US constitution?Today’s Presidential Parade:
Today, in a surprised appearance, Julius Ceasar’s four world famous legions, Legio VII, VIII, IX, & X are due to march in the presidential parade, piped in by the Royal Scotish Highlanders Bag Pipe Band.
Oh, you mean their appearance has now been cancelled?
Why?
Moved indoors!
What a shame!
There are plenty of D.C. folks, who could each have their own safe spaces, nailed to crosses!Dr. D. Rich:
We both know there are many folks who are better qualified for various positions in government than the current nominated folks are.
I think the problem we both run up against is that Washington/Ottawa are cities full of corrupt criminals who like nothing better to do, than to run honest folks out of town on the rails.
Only like thinking criminals, are welcomed!So, if somebody is way better qualified for a government position, they are also probably smart enough to know that there is no personal upside for them or their family and love ones.
You won’t enjoy trying to work with these government swamp creatures.
They all want to drowned you in the swamp!So rightly, good people steer well clear of swamps like Washington/Ottawa for all the right reasons!
Since politics is a blood sport, a rational normal person will say life is too short to put up with such sh*t!
So we are sadly left with only the hammer wielding phyco monkeys to chose from.
As my Father used to say, the only honest politician is a broke one!
TicTok:
It looks like TicTok is going dark on Sunday.
Not even Zerohedge is mentioning this event.
Just another loss of freedom.When the loss of our freedoms began:
Remember when the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall fell?
That is the very moment, when we started to lose our new freedoms!How are these two events connected together?
As long as the threat of communiism existed, our masters had to constantly bribe us with ever greater freedoms.
Once the Iron Curtain fell, our masters no longer felt the need to let us be free.Instead, our masters, have been steadily removing our freedoms, one by one.
They have been busy imposing new laws to increase their level of control over our lives.Today, we live in an ever increasing government/corporate fascist dictatorship.
I know there are some very bad bankers in this world.
In the west, a disproportionate number of Jewish bankers, thanks to a stupid Roman Catholic Pope.
However, the percentage of Jewish bankers in this world, is shrinking.
Ever met a Jewish Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Arab, African, banker?But most Jewish people are not bankers, but ordinary folks living amoung us.
I knew one Jewish Czech man, who narrowly escaped death as a boy in a line to board a railway box car.
A non-Jewish aunt bribed a German guard with her diamond ring to let him go.
After university, he came to Canada and worked for Inco in Sudbury.After retiring, he invented a metallurgical process that to this day, has positively affected everyone of us, whether we know it or not!
So let us just skip this collective guilt trip crap and properly place blame on the evil ones instead.
And “most” of the evil ones, are not Jewish!
Sadly, many of our evil ones, hide behind multiple false fronts.Evil Mark Carney is one such false front.
He enjoys screwing everyone!
There is no one he wouldn’t screw!
Then there are clones like; Boris, Macron, Starmer, Bidens, Obama, Clintons, Bushes, Neusom, Mary McCord, Trudeau, etc.Using Nails You Are Often Screwed!:
These days, at my age, whenever I am working with wood, I only use screws, often just rust resistant deck screws.
Screws are more expensive than nails, but they have one very big advantage. They can be quickly removed if needed for any reason. Often when you are building something new, you make adjustments as you go along.
Removing nails often requires badly damaging the wood, one way or another. So you skip making a change or improvement.
Then 10, 20, 30 years later, or the next day, week, month, year, if you suddenly need to make a new change to an existing structure you made, it is often a piece of cake to do, as all you need to do is remove a few screws!I can’t tell you how many times I have cursed the original builder (often me!) who built it to last forever!
Never to ever be taken apart, using bloody now badly rusted Nails!The other problem with Nails is the pounding your arm’s multiple joints take swing a hammer.
An electric screw impact screw driver, makes using screws so much easier than in the old days of manual screwdrivers.
The impact driver is especially great to break an old screw so it will start turning and rotate back out nicely.I haven’t personally built a complete house, but I have repaired or added just about every thing a house is made of!
I have done concrete foundations and flooring, solariums, garages, trailers, cabins, sheds, wood boats, fixed and floating docks of every size and shape, cutting rocks and building rock walls and fireplace rock walls, septic systems, plumbing, electrical wiring, sheet metal, etc.
I have designed and manually built a 2 bay boathouse, on a island, with a concrete foundation under water, which is pretty much like building a human’s house.
I have lots of concrete and steel building experience too.
Everything I own has a steel roof plus a few more buildings.I have always been designing and building things.
It is kind of what I do.
I have a few other building talents, but I am not talking about them!
Building defines who I am.SO USE SCREWS TO AVOID BEING SCREWED BY NAILS !!!!!!!!
Dr. D. Rich:
Sadly, Gabbard has to be approved by the gang of 8, for the position.
The corrupt gang of 8, are the deep state’s gatekeepers.
The America people have no say in the matter.If you say no, you get no chance to make any changes at all.
Canadian Elections:
In Canada, the Liberals know they can win without actually winning.
All the Liberals need to do, is hold onto Quebec, half of Maritimes, Toronto, and Vancouver, to prevent the Conservatives from getting a majority and taking power.“Sadly, how the rest of Canada votes, is irrelevant.”
For the Conservatives to win, Quebec must feel that the rest of Canada is going solidly Conservative, so they also vote Conservative so as not to be left out of power.
That is their only hope!“Sadly, I see no such thing happening in Quebec”.
Quebec will vote Liberal.That is why the Liberals have brought Carney, the carnival barker, into play.
Once Carney is the new leader, there is still enough time for the MSM to make Canadians forget about Trudeau.The Liberal minority will join with the NDP to stay in power, as always.
That is the current situation.Mark Carney is a WEF globalist snake!
He is rotten to the very core!
He is a Goldman Sach rat of the worst kind!
He is the one who personally killed the Canadian Royalty Income Trusts.
This act vaporized over night $35 billion of ordinary Canadian’s savings, back in 2005.
The Royalty Income Trusts gave ordinary Canadiahns the same tax advantages as the WEF’s very wealthy gotFor doing this dirty deed, Mark Carney was first appointed governor of the Bank of Canada, then later governor of the Bank of England.
This POS would sell you into slavery just to please his globalist masters.
As a snake he can never ever, ever, ever, ever, be trusted!
A true POS!Dr. D:
Problem:
NEW BOSS SAME AS OLD BOSS!Solution:
So we will complain about Trump for the next 4 years, just like we complained about Biden for the last 4 years!We will also complain for the next 4 years about our new leaders, just like we complained about Trudeau, Macron, etc our old leaders, for years on end!
Whenever we get tired of complaining about our current leaders, they will simply replace the old dried up carrot with a newer seasoned carrot!
MAY THE COMPLAINING, NEVER STOP!
P.S. when the amount of political talking on a subject increases, that means the narrative is being changed!
The west’s wars in the Ukraine and Middle East are purely Banker’s Wars.
All Western governments are heavily in debt to the Bankers.
All Western political leaders, if they want to get and stay in power and have more money to spend, must obey what the Banker’s tell them to do.
If a politician defies the Bankers, then new debt financing is simply cut off, or they are killed.
I am convinced more than ever, that Trump has been told both the Ukrainian and Middle East Wars will continue.
He can only change the tone (sale) of the narrative.The Middle East War will follow the classical pattern of truces, where Israel simply continues to constantly break the truces, while the MSM simply doesn’t report the Israeli violations.
Simply a slow boil war, or the west’s non-war War, or economic war.The Ukrainian War will however continue to the last Ukrainian as previously scheduled.
I am mostly ignoring what Trump is saying, as mis-direction.
Yes, sure, Trump is verbally brow beating Ukraine’s Mr. Z to draft 18 year olds, as a threat.But I am watching what is happening, instead.
Talk is cheap.
And I am hearing a lot of talk.
Confusion only results, when comparing talk with actions.
Russia isn’t confused at all!Russia now has raised a new half a million man army just to fight the war in the Ukraine.
They are proceeding very slowly.
But Russia now has raised over a million new men in their arm forces, that they didn’t have in 2022!
What is this new army for?
To fight the US and Nato.The West is steadily attacking Russia with missiles.
Why is Russia not responding?
Likely, because their new 1 million man army is not fully equipped yet.
Russia needs more time, as much time as it can possibly buy!
And Russia needs to build up it’s stockpiles of new defensive and offensive missiles, since it has a very
small air force compared to the US and Nato.The West will keep pushing Russia until it to finds the pain threshold, where Russia can no longer afford to buy anymore time!
The Russians told us back in 2022 that they were planning for the war in the Ukraine to last until 2026 or 2027 at least.
Notice the Russians are still grinding away slowly in the Ukraine.
They are steadily refining their battle tactics.
This new strategy uses more drones/dispersed men, and less armor.
What does Russia have more of than the West?
Yes, trained frontline ready soldiers!The Russians don’t want the Ukrainian frontlines to collapse suddenly, at least not yet.
The current frontline trench warfare is still drawing in new US, Nato, and Ukrainian resources.
Russia needs to reduce US and Nato missile inventories some more.
Russia still needs to destroy the largest army in Europe.
Before facing the US and Nato.Have you notice what China, North Korea, and Iran, are doing in the meantime as Russia buys them more time to get ready for the Banker’s War?
P.S. In 2024, China restricted drone/drone components exports to the West. Wonder why?
Neusom’s Happy Dance:
I gather that Neusom is moving very quickly to help his bribing speculators (vultures) quickly rebuild the still smoldering burnt areas of Los Angeles before it’s owners can reclaim their home’s ashes!
His reasons for so much excitment, are the avalanche of incoming bribes!
FBI Wray:
The FBI’s Wrays only regret about raiding Trump’s home is not finding the files Trump has, documentin̈g all the crimes the FBI and the deep state committed against Trump from 2016 through 2020.
That was the sole reason for the raid’s total house search.
They were desperately trying to find and confiscate these self incriminating crime files.Not Ending Ukrainian War:
It looks like the Trump team are trying to move their prior position on quickly ending the Ukrainian War, towards that of the deep state’s desire to keep the war going until the last Ukrainian.
Examples: 100 days target, pushing draft age down to 18, Nato saying Ukraine is not in strong enough position to negotiate, etc.
I don’t talk about religion much but today the Bible keeps perking to the surface.
My Father was very religious, so I was raised going to church every Sunday.
Yeah, I learned about the old and new testaments, two very different books, for sure.
Judging by the way the old testament was written, what is currently happening in Gaza, is no surprise.
It is about what you would expect of anyone cherry picking their way through the old testaments.I prefer the new testaments, if I had to chose between the two books.
But color me cynical about organized religions, in general.
I guess I have seen too much of the world.
And I don’t like to be controlled or told what to do, either.As a result, my 2 children never went to Church growing up, so religion is a foreign concept for them.
Yes, may Kamala be unburdened by what was.
May her house insurance be cancelled!
Watch the US military step in!Zerosum:
For Trump, cutting both the Ukrainian and Israeli war expenses, would greatly help him on the domestic front.
However, on the Ukrainian war, the US has only just started trying to accepted that the Russians can’t be driven out of their current positions!
The CIA is still running this war.
Notice now there is no hurry to send aid to Ukraine.
Sadly, a rather long road to travel before reaching current realities.jb – hb:
My Wife will shove her phone in my face, even though I can’t read the tiny screen very well!
Just has to show me!As for when I am working in the Kitchen, whether making breakfast, lunch, supper, or a snack, I am always in my Wife’s way, no matter where in the kitchen, I stand!
I often have to retreat to my kitchen office chair, where I read my tablet, until she finally leaves the Kitchen, before resumming my cooking/cleaning efforts!
My Wife doesn’t cook, period!
I do all the grocery shopping too!Being Drawn And Quartered:
“Drawn and quartered” is a common expression we frequently use.
But what really happened to people, who were actually “Drawn and Quartered”?
You know, like in the illustration!
Your arms and legs tied to 4 horses that then stretched and then tore your body to pieces!
Giving true meaning to the expression, to be “Drawn And Quartered”!Well, this didn’t happen in England, but the French were still rather fond of drawing and quartering people!
Instead, English Law sentenced people to be Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered, instead!
How nice of them!However, being Hanged, wasn’t quite the type of hanging you are used too!
Instead, they put a rope noose around your neck, than hoisted your body and feet off of the ground, in order to to restrict the air flow to your lungs.The amount of time people were left hanging, varied, but they certainly were not trying to kill you outright!
Killing you by hanging, would completely defeat the “Drawn and Quartering” parts of the sentence!
They only wanted you half dead, so you could still enjoy the humiliating public drawning!
Again. the “Drawn” part, didn’t quite mean what you might have thought it did!
You know the exciting part, with the 4 horses!
Nope, you only got to be pulled by one horse!.Instead, after hanging until half dead, you were then unhung, before being tied to a horse drawn sled!
If you were lucky, you also had some company on the sled!
Still, it was a rather rough and uncomfortable ride over the ground, none-the-less.Then you were dragged for miles, to be publically humiliated before reaching your final place of death.
People could throw stuff at you, to voice their displeasure!Then once you reached the place for your death, the Quartering part of your sentance occurred.
Hopefully by this time, if you were lucky, you were more dead than alive.Here your head was usually cut off and displayed to the crowd before being stuck upon top of a pike for further disply and viewing.
Then most likely your prives were cut off, along with your heart, and thrown into a fire, to be burnt.
The symbolism was very strong here!
“May your soul burn in hell!”
Then you were disembowelled and your intestines pulled out!Oh, yes, I almost forgot!
That fire wasn’t solely to burn your organs and soul!
It was also to better burn and torture you, while you were still alive!
It was very useful for heating up iron pokers and melting lead!
Lots of pain inflicted here!If you were exceptionly unlucky, they first cut your prives off and threw them into the fire, then disembowelled you by pulling your intestines out and then throwing them into the fire too, just to inflict a little additional extra pain, all while you were still sort of alive!
After doing all that, and more, then they cut your heart out and threw it into the fire to burn,too.
So now, finally you are dead, and suffer no more pain.Now your dead body was finally cut up into quarters, finishing the Quartering part of the sentance.
Now, your body could be more wìdely shown, in 4 different places at once, as a warning.Congratulations, you have just successfully completed your lawful, but very gruesome, sentance, to be “Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered”, English style!
I only set out to see what it was like to be “Drawn And Quartered”.
Sadly, that curiosity will have to wait for another day.If you were a woman, they spared you from being Hanged, Drawn, andcQuarted by burning you at tge stake!
We Need To Stop Meeting Like This!
Does anybody else suffer from this problem?
Whenever, I just start peeing, or just start sitting on the throne, to do God’s business, my Wife always suddenly shows up, needing to go pee or poo really, really, badly, and can’t wait, until I am finished my business!
It isn’t like my Wife can always hear me everytime I enter the bathroom, as she is pretty deaf and rarely wears her hearing aids inside the house!
She certainly doesn’t see me eveytime I enter the bathroom either!”There must exist some kind of hidden synchronization force that now afficts me!
This force even follows me to the cottage, too!I thought maybe this is covered in the wee fine print in our marriage contract, but my eyes are too blind to find the marriage contract, never mind to read it!
So that isn’t a viable option to explore, to find out the cause of me always meeting my Wife in the bathroom.While I am thinking about it, this brings up another pet peeve of mine!
Why is it, that my Wife always insists upon trying to start a conversation with me, without her hearing aids on?
It isn’t like I know how to sign language!
I don’t, and couldn’t see well enough to see anybody signing, anyway!
The reason has gotta be in the marriage contract, somewhere!Yosemite Sam:
Please, has anybody seen Yosemite Sam, “the rooting, tooting, toughest cowboy, this side of the great divide,” lately?
He knows everything there is to know, about gold carrots!
For Now, The Bond And Stock Markets Have Both Agreed, To Disagree:
Fact:
The bond market is more than 10 times the size of the stock market.
The bond market is smarter than the stock market.Mis and Dis – Informatiin (Facts and Fiction):
Since September 2024 the market’s long term interest rates have steadily increased.
(Inversely bond prices fall, when interest rates rise.)
The stock market has been pushing the meme of the Fed cutting future interest rates.
Somebody is still smoking hopeium!We are here!
January 2025.
You decide what is going to happen from here!As Clear As Mud!:
In September 2024, the Fed cut “it’s” interest rates in an effort to jawbone the market’s interest rates lower, to try and reduce US government interest rate charges.
This Fed lowering of “it’s” interest rates had always worked before to lower the market’s interest rates.But in September 2024, the Fed’s jawboning suddenly stopped working!
The market not only refused to lower it’s interest rates, but instead started raising them!
In December 2024, the undaunted Fed, lowered “it’s” interest rate once again!
Again, the market’s response was to increase it’s interest rates some more!So What Is The Fed To Do?:
The Fed only knows how to do one thing, and one thing only!
Print Money!
Then Print More Money!
Then Print Even More Money!The Fed is already buying many of the US government’s bonds, via Belgium.
To lower US government borrowing costs, going forward, the Fed will need to start buying even more or all of the new US government issued bonds.Now, make no mistake, this is only about lowering US government’s borrowing costs!
This is not about lowering your borrowing costs!
Your borrowing costs will need to rise, to pay for the US government’s lower borrowing costs!
We know this Fed speak as “quantitative easing”. or QE for short!
9
We know it as increasing inflation!P.S. There is no gold in Fort Knotts!
That is why the US government had to hire more guards!
To keep you believing, that the gold is still there!As for the US’s gold reserves still buried in the ground …………………….. .
