Love that, thanks for posting!
Thanks for all of the Ottawa updates, Spunky.
I went to bed and missed it.
What weasels….tearing out the sound equipment, hiding from the live crews, then issuing their ticket.
I guess the music man is lucky he didn’t get the grandpa beat down.
Just sickening….between $chwab’s implants and ByeDone’s inoculate ALL plan, pretty scary schemes happening.
Hope both of their evil schemes are stopped in their tracks.
Good morning, Gran!
Another case of Instant Pharma.

Unbelievable 😡
Like you I pray for my friends and family who got the shot - especially my son’s girlfriend (soon to be fiancé) who has been considering the booster. I think we have all talked her out of it. She is only 22 and already had issues with the first shots 😢 My son is well read and knows she may not be able to have children due to the shot, but would marry her anyway.
Retail sales surge 3.8% in January, much more than expected amid inflation rise

Retail sales increased 3.8% in January, well ahead of the 2.1% estimate and much better than the 2.5% decline in December.
Online shopping and furniture sales boosted the number, while sporting goods and gasoline sales totals declined.
The numbers reflect an active consumer as well as rising inflation.
Consumer spending bounced back sharply in January as rising inflation and a post-holiday surge kept cash registers ringing, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
Retail sales for the month rose 3.8%, much better than the 2.1% Dow Jones estimate.
The numbers are not adjusted for inflation, so the 7.5% rise in the consumer price index for the month helped push a reversal from the 2.5% decline in December, which was revised lower from the initially reported 1.9% drop.
Excluding auto sales, the retail gain was 3.3%, after falling 2.8% in the previous month.
Online shopping contributed the most on a percentage basis, with nonstore retailers seeing a gain of 14.5%. Furniture and home furnishing sales increased 7.2% while motor vehicle and parts dealers saw a 5.7% rise.
Sales at sporting goods, music and book stores fell 3% while gasoline station receipt were off 1.3% as a tick down in fuel costs saw prices at the pump move lower.
On a year-over-year basis, retail sales overall rose 13%, pushed higher by a 33.4% surge in gasoline station sales and a 21.9% burst in clothing stores.
The numbers came with the economy facing the worst inflation in 40 years, which helps feed into the retail sales numbers. The Federal Reserve is expected to enact multiple interest rate hikes this year to combat rising prices, with markets looking for the central bank to boost its benchmark short-term borrowing rate by half a percentage point in March.
Markets reacted little to the retail news, with Wall Street pointing to a flat open.

I still say Biden’s speech yesterday was a threat to Ukraine, and not to Russia.
Just listen to it. He goes on and on about the bloody costs to Ukraine, but not Russia. Does Ukraine have something on him? Are they cooperating with Durham?

I keep saying that all this Russian invasion was about. Intimidating Ukraine to keep from spilling the goods on his and all the other politicians laundering of money thru that very country.
Between 2011 and 2021, more than 40,000 non-U.S. citizens, foreign-trained physicians were given U.S. taxpayer-funded residencies. Each residency costs taxpayers $150,000 a year. We are subsidizing foreign doctors. [Emphasis added]
As Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) noted in the hearing, more than 10,000 American doctors remain unmatched for residencies, while about 10,000 healthcare workers have been fired in recent months over Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandates.
“That’s 20,000 right there and yet we’re told the only answer is to import more foreign nationals,” McClintock said.
....so much for America being the land where children can grow up to be anything they want to be.
lol
RE: Foreigners Winning Taxpayer-Funded Residencies...
This has been going on for a LONG time. Nurses too.
It was me, but I’m over it now.
Good morning, Jane!
Where is this all going to end?
I sure do pray that there are more of us than there are of them, that we will not give up but will keep fighting.
The truckers give me such hope.
It was me.
That bacon is cooked just right!
RE: DJ...
IMO, the thug police probably were planning to rough him up. Thank goodness for the live Cam.
The cost was 4 Billion this week to Ukraine...and a loan promise of another billion. And other Nato nations also gave their portion.
Ukraine always makes out monetarily when it cries ....every time. And then the washing machine is back in business.
I told Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan Harvard had no outpatient protocol. Look at this comparison! "McCullough Protocol" published in Dec 2020 vs this paper from Harvard out this week. Night and day! Medical historians will record how JAMA and other journals failed the world. pic.twitter.com/3G3ZsOxe15— Peter McCullough, MD MPH (@P_McCulloughMD) February 16, 2022
Putin in got his prize and is leaving. Biden canceled the Israeli pipeline.
Everyone should listen to what he had to say. A wake up call to all “free” people.
