Earth Day: April 22, 2024
In Canada today we’re playing word games. For example, we’re encouraged to not refer to our prime minister as corrupt (all evidence to the contrary). Andew Sheer, former leader of the Conservative / opposition party, suggests the Oxford dictionary equate the surname of our sorry excuse for a prime minister with gaslighting. However, my favourite, thus far, is an encyclopedic pictorial reference of Turdeau as emblematic of malignant narcissism.
“While not an official diagnostic term in the fields of psychology or psychiatry, malignant narcissism or malignant narcissistic personality disorder describes a severe and potentially dangerous form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
People with malignant narcissism tend to exhibit not only the self-absorption and excessive self-confidence associated with NPD but are also manipulative, empathy-deficient, and willing to do harmful and destructive things to achieve their goals. This combination of traits can make malignant narcissists exceptionally challenging to interact with and, in some cases, even pose a threat to the well-being of people around them.
The primary goal of a person with malignant narcissism is to gain power and control over others. They may use manipulation, exploitation, and aggression to achieve their goals and maintain their sense of superiority. They often need admiration and validation from others, which is often rooted in deep-seated insecurity, low self-esteem, and a fear of being seen as weak or vulnerable.”
Earth Day Celebration - with the International Energy Realities Podcast
This weekly podcast features voices of reason amidst numerous global instances of climate delusions and features Dr. Tammy Nemeth, as well as energy writers Irina Slav, Stuart Turley and David Blackmon.
Despite the title of this video, ISLAM - THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE WEST, and our seeming predilection for cancelling or even attacking those with different opinions, it’s wonderfully refreshing to watch / listen to four intelligent people exchange ideas on the very heated and multi-faceted issue of immigration.

Biden's EV mandate: a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the US grid
The de facto EV mandate will force Americans to drive inferior cars and place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply.
“If EVs were actually as good as their advocates say, they wouldn't require lavish subsidies—let alone Biden's mandate on top of lavish subsidies. Forcing EVs equals harming Americans.
Today's EVs, despite promises that they would already surpass gasoline vehicles, are not cost-effective for the vast majority of Americans. Despite huge government subsidies, less than 8% of car buyers buy EVs.

Riley Gaines, Other Female Athletes, Sue NCAA for Allowing Transgender Competitors
In a post on X, Gaines, a former swimmer with the University of Kentucky, announced the suit.
“It’s official. I’m suing the NCAA along with 15 other collegiate athletes who have lost out on titles, records, and roster spots to men posing as women. The NCAA continues to explicitly violate the federal civil rights law of Title IX. About time someone did something about it,” Gaines posted.
The athletes’ lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Atlanta, alleges that “harm” is done to women due to “NCAA’s radical departure from Title IX’s original meaning.” This harm included “subjecting women to a loss of their constitutional right to bodily privacy.”
