TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

WARS & RUMORS OF WARS

Because of ONE ORANGE BUTT HOLE DIAPER WEARING PIG making everyone's life miserable, and I genuinely believe that Orange Butthole gets his rocks off watching people squirm and come crying at his feet. Well, every pig 🐷 OINK OINK has its day in the spotlight, but then the lightbulb in the spotlight will burn out someday, and we won't have to look at that ugly ORANGE MUG anymore, except maybe on a poster where it belongs. Legend: Psychopathic. Pedophile, narcissistic, sadist, demented, and a convicted felon. Should be in jail for 6 billion years 🔐😶‍🌫️; even a woman could grow a beard in that much time. And that's 350 and a 1/2% for sure. Step on the bunion of that person standing next to you, and you'll get the other 1/2% when they raise their hands in the air, as their wig jumps up and does a spin dance on their head while they sing crescendo.

The shadow Russia casts over Europe has forced it to face the truth: the risk of war is once again real

When a group of defense insiders gathered in Whitehall, the home of the British government, last month to discuss how prepared the United Kingdom and its allies were for a war they believe could come in the next few years, their verdict was pretty grim: They are not.

The people gathered at the conference, hosted by the London-based think tank the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), were not warmongers; they were people in the know. Current and former members of the armed forces, government and NATO officials, researchers, and defense industry professionals whose thinking is based on the widely accepted intelligence assessment that Russia is preparing for the possibility of a direct conflict with Europe.

The only way to prevent that, they say, is to ensure that, if a war were to break out, Europe would win. More investment in chronically underfunded European defense is key, but security experts are increasingly warning that a big shift in mindset is needed across the board as well...

That's what happens when you poke in a hole full of rattlesnakes with a stick: you may find there is more than one snake in that hole, and they all have their own fangs and rattles.

Sure, America can be the big bully and go around and poke a lot of snakes with that stick, and the snakes meet a force they can't fight back, fire, so they go into retreat. Then, the first to return are the cockroaches 🪳 🪳 🪳; they come back out once the smoke clears. 🌫️ 💨 . Cockroaches fighting cockroaches, Cocrkoaches do as cockroaches do, don't you know? Putin is watching and likely thinking, "May as well let them do the job of clearing the trail for me during all this confusion."

You can not appease these war-crazed gods because any god with a small g is fallible; they are never satisfied and will want more, like blood suckers, they will gorge on We, the People just as effectively as being sucked dry of blood if we were thrown in a blood sucker infested swamp, which Trumpo The Typo's Dunce Cadets WILL OBLIGINGLY DO IF ORDERED. Their all just a bunch of school yard bullies and flunkies. IN MY OPINION.

BREAKING NEWS:

Tamiflu isn’t the only flu treatment available. These other options may fly under the radar – and provide relief

When the flu strikes, it can feel relentless: rising fever, hacking cough, stuffy nose and sore throat. For many people, relief can come in the form of Tamiflu, a prescription antiviral medication used to treat and even prevent the illness.

But some people may not realize that Tamiflu isn’t the only option. Other flu treatments are available in the United States. These alternatives sometimes fly under the radar, in part because some are targeted for specific populations. But Xofluza, a one-dose pill, is approved for people 5 years and older – and can be a strong alternative for some people who may otherwise be prescribed Tamiflu.

Antiviral medications tend to work best when started within two days after symptoms begin, so having easy access to treatment options is key for treating the flu most effectively...

Trump says US military struck ISIS terrorists in Nigeria

President Donald Trump said Thursday he’d ordered a deadly strike on Islamic State terrorists in Nigeria, who he has accused of persecuting Christians in the country. In a post on social media, Trump said he’d directed a “powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria,” who he said had been killing innocent Christians.

US Africa Command said it conducted the strikes in Sokoto state, which borders Niger to the north, “in coordination with Nigerian authorities.” AFRICOM’s initial assessment is that “multiple ISIS terrorists were killed in the ISIS camps,” according to a news release. A US official told CNN the strikes included Tomahawk missiles fired from a Navy vessel that struck two ISIS camps...

Trump promised ‘aggressive’ housing reform next year. Here’s what to expect for home prices in 2026

Next year may mark a turning point for the US housing market.

After several years in a deep freeze, with high borrowing costs and soaring prices locking many Americans out of homeownership, economists say conditions may begin to shift in 2026. But next year, many economists are optimistic about the housing market. Many anticipate that rising incomes will start to outpace home prices, making homes feel more affordable for many Americans.

Redfin has dubbed 2026 “The Great Housing Reset,” while Compass has described it as the start of a “new era.” And after years of historically low sales volumes, even a small increase in activity would mark a turning point for the housing market...

Hallmark movies bring more to B.C. than just film work. They impact the broader economy, too

Jobs, tourism and other spending related to filming boosts communities, province says

Picture it: mid-October, 2025. You’re splayed out on the couch, casually enjoying a re-run of your favourite 80s sitcom on cable television when an ad appears promoting the Countdown to Christmas on the Hallmark Channel, or W Network here in Canada.

For some, it sparks excitement — the holidays are approaching, and the season is not complete without sipping hot cocoa while watching a selection of cozy Christmas movies. For others, that 24-hour rotation of Christmas cheer is a living nightmare. Love it or hate it though, Hallmark movies are big business in B.C., where the company films the about 40 per cent of its content — Christmas and year-round programming.

Inside a B.C. ‘dementia village' that researchers hope could reshape long-term care

The Village Langley caters to people with dementia and is designed to look and feel like a small community

Doreen Freeland used to be what's known as a “land girl” in Britain during the Second World War. She was one of thousands of women recruited to work in orchards and on farms to help keep food production going while men went off to fight. “It was fun sometimes, but it was a bit hard other times when everything's frosty, and you got to pick those sprouts,” she says.

Now 94, Freeland is rekindling some of that connection to the outdoors at The Village Langley, a care facility southeast of Vancouver that caters to people with dementia...
