Ottawa 'outcasts' opposing ocracy overreach...



OK, mentioned yesterday as Truck Fudeau, one of the two stories breaking the internet over the weekend, and not just Ottawa - but that was the main destination of The Freedom Convoy 2022 (sort of appropriate but the name Ottawa is derived from the Algonquin word 'adawe', which means 'to trade'...keep on trucking!).

As the image suggests, the protest against medical MANDATES - not against vaccination per se [although I personally definitely am against anti Covid jabs that they call vaccines] - is gaining worldwide support. Australia, Brazil, Italy, USA to name a few...needless to say young Castro has left the building
 
Slightly off on a tangent, the amazing thing is, more and more I find myself agreeing with Russell Brand*: "With a large convoy of Canadian truckers forming a ‘Freedom Rally’ to protest vaccine mandates, how are government and media framing them less than 2 years after truckers, like nurses, were called heroes?" [Rumble

* should I be worried?

Update 30th Jan: the bad cat puts it so well, "justin trudeau: a portrait in cowardice and projection"... ..."but justin is a liar and so are all his filthy friends." [sic]

2nd update: The Cavalry Rode In. Wow...[Link] and good full week (good build-up info and videos) HERE at GD's Political Animal blog.

Obama's Ohioan onomatomania...




Today the name of North America's tallest mountain, Mount McKinley in Alaska, will be changed to 'Denali', which in the Athabascan language (Alaskan native) means "the high one"...Yep. The US DOI informs us; the decision was endorsed by Obama: "Under Obama's action, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell will use her legal authority to end the long debate and rename the mountain" [Reuters]





The Mountain has spoken? The mountain was named in 1896 after William McKinley, the Ohioan who became the 25th President of the United States and was assassinated in 1901. The first recorded reference to Denali in the journal of British explorer Captain George Vancouver around about 1794; Denali is already the name of the National Park (including Denali National Monument and Denali Preserve as well) and has been called that since 1917, why change the name of the mountain? And why now? It's an anagram of 'denial'. not sure whether that could be funny or not.



Moving on...in other Decline of USA news, the University of Texas removes Jefferson Davis statue [Link]. Hat-tip: Weasel Zippers



However, the not having things named after POTUS will be continued, no doubt...right?...Oh FFS.
