@StockTalk416@PythiaR I agree! Just stop the pretentious “we care about our employees” charade and dumb milestone awards. Cut those costs and pay people more!
How dare these foreigners not see how horrible America really is?
How dare they enjoy Walmart and ranch dressing instead of confirming our carefully crafted narrative that America sucks?

Never forget — If Pakistan hadn’t sold it to them, Iran, North Korea & Libya would NEVER HAVE HAD NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAMS.
What are they doing in the room?
WHO are they working for?
Does JD Vance even know the history? “We love Pakistan,” he says .
Shani Louk—a 23-year-old German woman who was at the Nova dance party—was raped, butchered, murdered, and her body was dragged back to Gaza behind a car.
Thousands of Palestinians are on video fighting with one another—regular people in Gaza, not dressed as Hamas—just for the chance to get at her body, spit on her, beat her, and kick her.
And then they take her lifeless, broken body, and they dump it into the back of one of these pickup trucks. It's 6:37 in the morning, and there are all these guys chanting Allahu Akbar in the back of the truck.
And there was an AP photographer present who snapped that famous photo of her broken body among these huge men chanting.
How did that photographer know to be there?
He won essentially what amounts to the Pulitzer Prize of photography for that photograph that he was only able to take because, of course, he was in league with the terrorists who told him to be there.
That's the kind of moral distortion that I think we, as members of Western society, need to be deeply concerned about.
This exchange says everything.
A Liberal Lapdog MP is asked why the Prime Minister has missed Question Period **164 times** — including **64 times** while he was literally in Ottawa.
His answer? The PM has “deep reverence for Parliament”… but he’s busy at the G7, cheering on the men’s soccer team in Vancouver, and making housing announcements with Premier Eby.
Then the anchor drops the hammer:
Remember when Justin Trudeau ran in 2015 attacking Harper and promised:
“Canadians deserve a prime minister who will answer questions.”
That was the pitch.
Now? “We’ll get back to you in September.”
If this is what “respect for Parliament” looks like under the Liberals, the bar is on the floor.
They spent years lecturing everyone else about accountability and transparency.
Turns out the rules were only for thee, never for them.
Canadians deserve a government that actually shows up to do the job.

Toronto Star, 2025: Father’s Day is fine, as long as we focus on mothers instead of fathers
Toronto Star, 2026: actually fuck it, let’s just get rid of it
There is an old Jewish tale told in the Talmud about a master who sent his servant to buy for him fish in the market.
The servant came back with a fish that was utterly rotten and smelled bad for his master.
His master gave the servant three options:
Eat the rotten fish, pay a fine, or be expelled from the city.
The servant chose the first and began eating the rotten fish.
Halfway through eating the rotten fish he just couldn't stomach it anymore so he asked to pay the fine.
After he paid half the fine he realized he cannot afford it anymore and was therefore expelled from the city, thereby taking on all three punishments.
That is what JD Vance did to himself by turning on Israel and his horrifying performance today in Switzerland.
@jracanelli A responsible Canadian would’ve asked why our cities are becoming increasingly unsafe and held the administration to account. But you’re bleating to the liberal tune and will not ask the pertinent questions. GFY.
Beneath Majdal Zoun, a hilltop village kilometers from the Israeli border, the IDF uncovered a subterranean Hezbollah drone facility built over the past decade with direct Iranian assistance - including planning and funding. Protected by massive steel blast doors, the tunnel extends several hundred meters into the mountain at depths of 29 meters (95 feet), running beneath a mosque. The passage was wide enough for a standard vehicle. Inside, Hezbollah assembled Iranian-made UAVs using parts smuggled into Lebanon and launched them at Israel. Israeli military officials disclosed the site during an organized media tour last week.
Turkey suffers from a chronic illusion of grandeur. A bubble inflated by symbolism, nationalism, and repetition.
Massive convoys for a football team eliminated without scoring a single goal. Endless boasting about NATO’s second-largest army - formidable against Kurdish guerrillas, invisible everywhere else.
A defence industry promoted as a revolution, yet Iranian missiles expose the gap between propaganda and power.
The rhetoric is imperial. The results are humiliating.
When a country has to remind the world every single day how strong and important it is, it’s usually because it isn’t.
Real power speaks for itself.
As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.
If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.
We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.
We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.
Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.
We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.
We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.
As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.
@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.
Dear generation screwed, if you were waiting for prices to drop before buying a house, the Liberal government is bailing out developers and bidding against you, so that you can be a renter instead.
