Dire Wolves Are Back

 

Some people were freaking out, swallowing their tongues and going full panic Eschaton this morning because of 47's tariffs. As in, how dare a US president stop his country being ripped off! Now the world's going to END. So they shrieked as they tore out their hair, pulled out their teeth and gouged out their eyes (What? Ed.) in fear, shock, horror and heart stopping Panican dismay. But not us, no, here at the Compound we were excited. Why?

Because DIRE WOLVES are back. That's right, thanks to Texan ingenuity and can-do spirit, Dallas biotech start up Colossal Biosciences has successfully bioengineered two white Dire Wolves, the first of their kind since the formidable breed went extinct some 10,000 years ago. Why did they go extinct? Good question. 

The appallingly smug leftist New Yorker risibly thinks Dire Wolves and similar megafauna were hunted to extinction by bloodthirsty humans who obviously weren't taxed and regulated enough. The Compound's boffins think differently. They believe a celestial cataclysm triggered massive, catastrophic, climate change, killing off Mammoths, Saber Tooth Tigers, Mastodons, Dire Wolves and the like. But that's as maybe, the long gone wolves have returned in the form of two adorable pups, Romulus and Remus. Here's TIME, which somehow still exists:

Romulus and Remus are doing what puppies do: chasing, tussling, nipping, nuzzling. But there’s something very un-puppylike about the snowy white 6-month olds—their size, for starters. At their young age they already measure nearly 4 ft. long, tip the scales at 80 lb., and could grow to 6 ft. and 150 lb. Then there’s their behavior: the angelic exuberance puppies exhibit in the presence of humans—trotting up for hugs, belly rubs, kisses—is completely absent. They keep their distance, retreating if a person approaches. Even one of the handlers who raised them from birth can get only so close before Romulus and Remus flinch and retreat. This isn’t domestic canine behavior, this is wild lupine behavior: the pups are wolves. Not only that, they’re dire wolves...

 

 

Or something very like it. The question is, what's next, what else will be brought back from the dead by some miracle of modern science? Who knows, perhaps ACoC, the Anglican Church of Canada, will once again walk the earth.

Marine Le Pen Lawfared

 

Popular French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement by a national court and banned from political life for a period up to and including the country's 2027 presidential elections. Le Pen was also hit with a two year suspended jail sentence and a further two years house arrest, she will appeal the verdict.

Marine Le Pen joins a growing list of lawfared political figures, such as Bolsonaro in Brazil, Imran Khan in Pakistan, Calin Georgescu in Romania and Donald Trump here in the US. Elon Musk weighed in on social media, "When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world." Italy's deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini went further, blasting the court's decision as "a declaration of war from Brussels."

Keen-eyed readers of this inconsequential taco stand on the Information Super Highway might remember a time when Europe and the Free World prided itself on free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary. Now? Not so much. Why, then, should the US under its current leadership spend a single cent on the defense of countries which are at best against our values.

Defense aside, maybe tariffs and increasingly surging nationalism will bring Rainbow Fortress Europa to something resembling sense.

CANADA DECLARES WAR

 

Yes, on the United States, an economic war of tariffs. For every 20% tariff the US applies to Canadian imports the beloved rainbow rulers of Canada will slap on an extra 5% to US imports. Take that, Trump. So, we bill them at 20%, 10% for oil, and they kick us in the shin with 25%. Look out, Nazi America.

Oof, or is it? 77% of Canada's exports go to America, about a third of that being crude oil, and maybe now they'll lose that income stream as we drill, baby, drill. Apart from oil, Americans can expect massive price increases in revolting Tim Hortons coffee, nasty "TimBits" donuts, and hangover in a glass whiskey. Oh dear, I guess we'll have to produce these things ourselves, which is what it's all about.

Gary Indiana, a typical US city

Speaking of which, the traitors who off-shored our industry to China, leaving asset-stripped hellhole, dystopian nightmare in the place of once prosperous towns and cities need to be brought to account. What an epic crime against our nation and its people. Will they be? Good question, hope so.

Gotta tan, LSP?

In the meanwhile, perhaps Trumpian tariffs will reverse this sickening trend and bring back industry, jobs and prosperity to the US. Who knows; and while we're at it, abolish income tax and the privately owned, usurious Fed's armed collector, the IRS. Just a thought. In the meanwhile, Justine's going to war. We quake in our loafers.

Won't Back Down

Remember the way China charges loads of money on US firms importing to China and we don't? China protects its economy with tariffs, unlike us, so all our industry went to China.

What did that leave us? Everyone living on welfare and loving the decaying slum of our inner city hellholes, while the tasseled loafer brigade laughed all the way to the bank and the nearest NWO approved country club.

Trump said he'd reverse this iniquity and all the people who'd been asset-stripped to hell and back voted in favor. The crew of elitists getting rich off the stripping didn't see it coming, they thought the working men and women they'd shafted were too stupid to get it. Big mistake.

Trump's working to reverse the equation and re-industrialize America, i.e. get us back to actually making things so ordinary people can make a living. That means putting an end to our trading partners' unfair advantage.

Here's Steve Bannon via Zero:

Our factories got shipped out of here. Wall Street made a fortune. The private equity made a fortune. Right now President Trump’s focus is on stopping it.

Read the whole thing here and rock on MAGA.

And don't back down,
