  1. What a ridiculous society. We were just in Thailand. Where there are a few ladyboys, here and there. No one cares, they are not treated differently by anyone. They are not paraded around, nor a threat. They are just people.

  2. When they say Bible. You should ask, any non fiction?

  3. It’s not just, adopt the child. It’s adopt the mother and child. If these generous and charming ladies want to make a difference. There is tremendous shame to abort, and even more, to give up a child.

  4. Wow, we often wonder. How did the nastiest people in history, maintain loyal followers? Mao, Stalin, Hitler, ect. It must have been the same, for the silent majority’s. In shock, at the lunacy, while getting steamrolled.

  5. In Canada we have a freedom, to not worry about a shooter, at our kids school. To not have, medically induced bankruptcy. We can still talk politics, barely.

  6. Was her family vetted, when they came over? If you’re not native, your family were immigrants. (Poor people, looking for a better life, willing to work hard). Those guys.

  7. Love your BS detectors. The administration is suggesting lifting the Covid testing of travellers from China. News flash, in China they are no longer testing for Covid. But are having a massive “flu” outbreak. Also if you find Chinese culture to be crude. Visit Taiwan, the people are polite and grounded. It will restore your faith, in their potential.

  8. Up to a few millions, it’s a family business. Tens of millions, it’s a company, changing owners.

  9. Really bad times follow. If the ban the books crowd, gets into power. What will they go after next?? Read your history. Take a look at China, and Russia. They ban free speech.

  10. Thank you for mentioning Taiwan. It’s at 26, China is at 72, Hong Kong has dropped to 81. Think about that. As we let China influence us through social media apps. Not just TikTok. Taiwan would have a higher score. If it wasn’t under the constant threat of invasion.

  11. Keep up the work. While it’s still a free country.

  12. Your show is great. But, this was free advertising.

  13. Book burning, then you have Kristallnacht, then you have…. We now have, the CCP. Enough already.

  14. Canada ranks quite high, i think #7. It is probably the most diverse country in the world.

  15. We can start, by cutting shipping subsidies, for Chinese products. It kills small business at home. While financing, their military build up.

  16. A lot of people disappear in China. Not finger pointing. But they shouldn’t get, a free pass. Political and religious objector, organ donor’s.

  17. Mao, must be a god. He did some very serious killing. Yet is revered, by his victims.

  18. A reminder, when you were thinking of other countries that have the D penalty. Please, don’t ever forget, how horrible China is. Their legal system is purely political. Against anyone, speaking out against the party, is a minority, follows religion, and other controlling reasons. Remember the white paper movement. Those people just quietly disappear. They use live organ donors, for profit. Remember these things, when thinking to buy their products. Massive pollution, human rights, military build up.

  19. Thank you for your reminder. That being a good loving person. Is free, to all of us. You don’t need to commit, intellectual suicide, to be that way.

  20. Three points. There is no way I’m financing someone’s education. If they are going to end up earning 70-80-90-100k+ per year. University shouldn’t cost so much. Is it like the medical system? For corporate benefit, not the public. Aren’t a lot of universities, already getting Chinese hush money? Dibs on new research.

  21. On most burgers, it isn’t even cheese. It’s a coloured oil/soy product. Free, no thanks.

  22. They don’t stand for anything, that Jesus taught.

  23. The world needs a stable USA. To have predictability, in its foreign policy. The CCP is on a campaign of imperialism, and unconventional warfare. With Trump, it’ll be policy chaos again. The USA will further lose its stature, of a unifying counter to China. I don’t care which party. Just make sure the next leader, is tough, but mostly, brings people together.

  24. You nailed it.

  25. Imagine the yelling. If it had been a Democrat. That tossed ten unproductive trillion into the economy. Just to postpone the collapse, till after his term.

  27. Please do not mention Venezuela. As a country where the people, own the resources. Like Trump wants, the wealth stays at the top.

  28. Ask him, when his family came over?

  29. The orange snake?

  30. You are talking logic, to zealots. You must be inspired by the devil. (I never understood. If you believe in god. You also have to believe in the devil) How f’d up is that??

  31.  @bethanynelson8489  I know. I just get tired of the fundamentalist types. Who leave no room for anyone else. They can be quite dangerous, if they attain political power.

  32.  @drazi3356  You're right, 2023 was pretty bad. According to wikepedia, there were 5 mass shootings in Canada, out of 27 shot, there were 11 deaths. (Mass shootings, 4 or more are included). USA, 604 mass shootings, 754 killed, 2,443 injured, total shot 3197.  We are way behind in Canada, we need more guns.

  33. The average person in China is still in poverty, with no rights, worse In Russia. You are not allowed to talk about your condition, politics, or wrong beliefs. Here we still have free speech. So there is hope to break away from corporatocracy, but it isn’t Marxism. Marxism, sounds great, but it concentrates power, even more.

  34. We are so, a part of America. Not the USA, but North America. Saying America, as a country. Is like saying there is only one country, on the two continents.

  35. Genesis 1, said Adam and Eve were made together. Genesis 2, said Adam tried to find a mate, ( sounds interesting). Then Eve was made from a man, his rib.

  36.  @slimslam  On the one version, he searched for a mate, before Eve was made. Suggesting a little bestiality.  A missing rib, would fit a realistic story, instead of it being mythology.

  37. Some of the movie pics were good choices.

  38. Ouch?? G must have had a “special relationship”, with that prophet.

  40.  @dontbanmebrodontbanme5403  The Chinese, are having a huge"flu" outbreak right now. They no longer test for covid. Because it's officially over, like poverty there.

  41. We have to pay our Dr’s US level wages to keep them. The system is crashing, it’s burning down. -40* is great, but we will make mittens, out of your cat.

  42. Definitely of. There are lots of other countries. On the, american continents.

  43.  @fullauto86  Ouch! That’s nasty. Who banned it?

  44.  @fullauto86  That goes completely against, the protect against big brother controlling us?? That’s the last book to ban, in a free speech, freedom of movement society!!!

  47. We all know, that too much lobbying, loose donation laws, results in massive fraud. Bankrupting the country, through the medical, military, prison, ect systems. That are run by big corporations. Is it long past the time? To review how other democracies, handle this problem. A taxpayer revolt, saying fix it!! We will pay you well, to represent us. But no more side deals, cut the crap, it’s killing us.

  48. Who tossed ten trillion of extra debt, on a dead economy? That, and 70 years of collective deficits, from both parties. Is hitting the wall. It’s just starting.

  49. Mao, was a god? He did some serious killing work. Yet is revered, by his victims.

  50.  @bethanynelson8489  My comment, was not a reflection on religion. As much as it is about, the CCP trying to emulate a cult, or religious status, amongst their people. They encourage Mao, and party worship. To hold onto power. He tore down, a deep culture, and created a great famine. Yet is revered, by many. They use a religious model, for the communist party. Any other faith, is a threat, to the power and wealth.
