The next time, if ever,Trump interviews with a real journalist, the journalist should ask him what he was saying when in his Dayton Speech he said "Gang, boom, this is me. I hear bing." Have a video ready to roll for him. He should have a chance to elucidate.

He is already across the line, way across.

The judge apparently counselled all today to tone it down.

Barely home, fed and watered, he is well along only five minutes in to be gagged or locked up. Disgusting, but then we knew he is .…

The judge should not let this go tonight.

Do any of the betting sites take bets on how soon he will be disciplined, or on which date the first of his lawyers quits, which one of them? As officers of the court, they have an obligation to keep him quiet on this matter up to next December.55

If GOP agrees to a vote on Speaker vacating Chair, could 5 Dems move such a vote, say every day?

What fun!

How long would the debate be? Could 218 GOP vote closure each time? Eventually some GOP might cross the floor, then change the rule of 5.

Why would we?

I am paying $1.66 per litre right now, 4 litres = $6.64. Take off 5% to get the quantity equivalent to 3.78 litres or 1 US gallon = 6.31 C$ for a US gallon. $US is about S0 79. gives US$5,04 to buy a US gallon of Canadian gasoline. Our gas prices include a gas tax, excise tax, sales tax and a carbon tax

Our TV news is not inundated with wailing about gas prices.

We are not going to let US sell it for less.

Manchin's juncket was sponsored by oil interests and hosted by the closest Canada can come to Trump's stupidity, viz Covid, maskless, etc . Not to mention simplistic and simple-minded solutuons to complex problems.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney faces losing his party leadeship soon, as well as the next election to the new Democratic Party ( democratic socialist) who had preceded him in office. The re-experiment with the Conservatives has not gone well.

The courts should ensure this man cannot return to work for or communicate with Trump or famiky/ employees in any form. He must be the only one who knows in which shells to hide any new receipts, or from which and how to retrieve money secretly for Trump or the families, to avoid revealing the shells.

I cannot imagine he has shown anyone else how to do all those transactions, or there will be one very implicated accomplice. If T ever knew, I cannot imagine he or kids could pull it off now under certain law-enforcement scrutiny.

Another factor to consider in the unravelling.

Thoughts?

Ten GOP Senators need to decide to sit on sidelines -NOT VOTING. ONLY Four votes will bring to 60-30

Surely there are 10 senators among th 44 votes today who would happily sit the impeachment vote out. Those not intending to run again, but not enough guts to vote for impeachment. That leaves 34.

If 4 of those 34 can be broken away like Dr. Cassidy to add to the coalition of 56 forged today, that creates a bloc of 60 for impeachment, 30 against, 10 NV. Bingo, impeached by 2/3 voting!

Dem need to work on an additional group of 4 GOP (eg Scott NC, Burr, Portman, etc.) to impeach, and 10 to decide to register NV. Who were the GOP senators in tears because of physical fear of Trump, reported the other day?

This is far more doable than 67.

A lot of GOP senators tonight and tomorrow have got to be taking heat from spouses, children, siblings, parents and inlaws, in view of what they saw today and will see. We already know there are fractures in legislative famiies over this. We have just seen 6 in Senate and 5 in House.

Polling is going to show a sea change in nationwide polls and we know the polling will increase heavily in the next 36 hours.

Surely Romney and Sasse could be key in helping this.

Maybe they have already tried, maybe they are close to success. There will likely be no leaks so that there can be no threats or harassment.

We just need to talk it up, especially if families of GOP senators can know that they need not vote. These senators, their families and friends are not monoliths.

Why was Ms. Stirrup trying to get into DOJ computers

This is just a short blog to raise an interesting possibility?

This WH staffer (Stirrup) was refused entry to the DOJ building ostensibly because it was feared she was after sensitive computer files on 2020 election investigations.

I am left wondering if she was after files that might detail all the election things Trump might be accused of, in order to draft a tighter and full pardon document for Trump personally. Maybe too, she was after "all things Trump" that are being investigated. From her picture, she is not young and may well be very experienced. I have to wonder if she might even be a lawyer and knew what to look for.

I note she received a new appointment today to the US Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. Why, and what? So did Manafort and Lewandowski receive appts. to a DOD board.

There is more to this.

Potential Diabetes cure at Universty of Alberta, Edmonton

One hundred years after Banting and Best discovered insulin at the University of Toronto, there is new hope a cure might well have been found at U of A.

"The stem cell therapy that Dr. Shapiro is proposing has none of these drawbacks. The University of Alberta team foresee a one-time injection — with possible re-ups later on — of insulin-producing cells derived from human stem cells. No need for immunosuppressants or organ donations."

This would be wonderful news for diabetics world-wide.

Our family has had members in at least 4 successive generations who suffered from the disease. A ggf who died in 1921, my gm, two uncles, one cousin.

Promising progress on covid19 vaccines also continues at a number of Canadian universities working in various groupings together.

Postscript - I published this diary this morning because I still remember rising early on a weekend morning when visiting my grandparent's home in another city. I also thought it might have been missed by US media, especially in these troubled times.

From about the age of 7 in the 1950s I would help her by filling the glass syringe with her insulin, because she could no longer see the marks. Big responsibility. I well remember turning the box over to read the words Connaught Laboratory, University of Toronto. I thought it might bring some positive news to some and I guess it has, with near 300 recs and 129 comments, in less than 12 hours. If not this discovery, scientists will build upon this doctor's efforts. This may be remembered as the beginning of something good.

This story was easy to write, and I felt a duty. I really enjoy the political blogs , commenting on many, writing a few. This one is the most rewarding, although one I slaved over on the death of Jean Beliveau brought out more human emotions and memories from readers than one could count

America has descended into being a severely damaged clone of failed Lebanon

Last week a fascinating op-ed appeared in numerous Canadian newspapers. This may be the most important piece critical thinkers can read if they share deep concerns about America's ability to replicate the Lebaneses calamity on a broader and far more important scale.

It explores the disastrous nature of Lebanon's government from a starting point of the reflections of a Protestant missionary in 1870, and his conclusions as to why it would be and in fact is still a failed state.

Lebanonization is a term used to describe a country when politics, tribalism, national divisions, ethnic and sectarian tensions, ideological and cultural wars, and foreign meddling become so unmanageable they leave a country ungovernable.

From the reflections of Thomas Friedman come two themes. In the US, the political parties resemble Lebanon's religious sects in a zero-sum contest for power. They behave like rival tribes who believe they must rule or die. Second, as does the Middle East, America plays politics with climate change to face masks.

From this analysis is revealed a far more serious situation than anything recently raised with the electors, far more difficult than anything Biden imagines or that can be solved by his notion of working across the aisle. Donald Trump would not even be able to fathom the description of the issues.

Anerica is in very deep doo-doo.

This is a must-read for concerned citizens.

Donald Trump goes out of his way every so often to whine about how horribly Canada treats the US in unfair trade. He seems to target aluminum most often. He did it again last week and retroactively to Sept 1st.

Yesterday he got his lunch handed to him, again.

Facts are power. Facts win. He caved retroactively to Sept 1. The smart female PM and Finance Minister handed him another humiliation.

Will he, or will he cancel due to a scheduling conlict?
