    Here are the damning Rudy Giuliani admissions that will help Dominion take him to the cleaners Dominion Voting Systems filed a massive $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on Monday over his false claims that the company rigged the 2020 election on behalf of President Joe Biden. One challenge for Dominion will be not only showing that Giuliani's claims about the company are false, but that they were made with malicious intent, as proving malice is an essential component of any successful defamation lawsuit. Writing on Twitter, attorney Akiva Cohen flags a section from Dominion's lawsuit that he says will give the company real proof that Giuliani maliciously lied about them as part of an effort to justify charging hefty legal fees to the Trump campaign. Specifically, Dominion noted that Giuliani only talked about Dominion during public appearances, but went completely silent about the company when actually arguing before courts in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. During a court hearing about the results of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania, for instance, Giuliani admitted that the Trump campaign "doesn't plead fraud" and said that "this is not a fraud case."

    Sad, Five days in a row of increases- a small increase reported today, but still and increase. The light at the end of the tunnel is receding. Unfortunate but inevitable. You do not want to know the percentage of patients in hospitals who receive incorrect dosages. Turns out that the staff there are human.

    As has been reported, this was not a beer-hall putsch. This was a deliberate, planned and funded attempt by some of the GOP and Trump loyalists to subvert the American democracy and overthrow a legally elected government. If the Democrats and an independent Department of Justice do not act on this act of sedition, America will pay for it.
  7. And it wasn't me. Again. Maybe I should buy a ticket next time.

    Damndamndamndamn. That makes four consecutive days of increased positive tests. Yes, they are mostly outside of Winnipeg, but still increasing.

    Apparently a total of 2.7 million was paid out just before the riot from Trump's re-election committee to the various groups who fomented the violence.

    The impeachment notice will be delivered to the Senate Monday morning.
  11. You would do well to be skeptical. I have been following these developments for quite a while and so far he appears credible. Time will tell. BTW: Fleishman and Pons were never proven or alleged to be scammers. Their academic records are and continued to be spotless. The knock was that no one except some Russians were able to replicate the results on a consistent basis. Remember that as recently as 19 years ago, no one was convinced that electric vehicles were practical.

    What would be the point? The replacement senator would be at least as insane as the last.
  13. FYI: For the past 7 years I have been following the work of Prof. Andrea Rossi in Italy. He is a physics professor who has been following up on the work of Pons and Fleishman who claimed to have created "cold fusion"- the holy grail of energy research. There was a great flurry of publicity at first but subsequent researchers claimed to have been unable to replicate the results, so it died out. There was speculation that the surge of energy (heat) was due to a chemical rather than nuclear reaction and the metals used were very expensive, so the whole concept was largely abandoned. Rossi persisted, though and claimed to have both replicated the initial results and was eventually able to do it without rare, expensive metals- nickel, in fact. His work challenged the most basic tenet of physics that energy cannot be created, and that energy out of a process must always be less than energy put in. This has always been the challenge for creating a fusion reactor- the energy required to run it has always been less than the energy output. Rossi's work was pure heresy. His experimental "cold fusion reactors" initially produced wildly inconsistent results but yielded as much as 35-1 energy output vs input but only in bursts. He eventually found a way to make the processes self-sustaining, needing no external power once started. There has been no radioactive waste or output. About two years ago, he began to move towards production, with further refinements along the way and was able to scale up his reactors. His sustainable output has gone up as well. All this sounds too good to be true, and these things almost always are, but Rossi has not made extravagant claims nor has he been asking for investments. His progress has been what one would expect from a cautious researcher- slow and steady with independent validation. His concept is that every home would have a reactor the size of a refrigerator which would supply all the heat and electricity for the home, independent of any central station. I am cautiously optimistic that there may be a way to supply energy needs without pollution, nuclear waste transmission lines (which have problems) or massive investment and risk. My biggest concern is that once everyone has unlimited heat and electricity, will people stop insulating their homes and workplaces, pouring cumulative, massive amounts of heat into the atmosphere, worsening the existing problems we already have?

  14. No matter who is appointed to the governor-general position, there will be detractors. Such is the nature of politics. In retrospect, Payette was a poor choice and her interpersonal relationships ought to have been examined before she was named.
  15. We still have people in power who do not believe in climate change, so......

    No doubt that Cruz will be elevated to folk-hero status in Texas for his keen insight and principled stands.
  17. Every country seems to have a minority who feels aggrieved and wants to run away (figuratively) and be their own country. Human nature, I guess that the grass is always greener elsewhere.

    Amazing that there are so many on that website defending Trump.

    I watched some of Fauci's interview on CNN- it was all he could do to not come right out and denounce Trump as a fourletterwording moron.

    Abrams has all the qualifications needed to be a great president or vice president, but I do not think that America is ready for a Harris/Abrams double black woman slate. It was a small miracle that Obama made it to the oval office.

    Harris/Butiegieg in 2024
  22. Amen to that.
  23. A bit off topic, but apparently there is at least one rational person in Saskatchewan:
