BL's Saturday nights with his chums.

It's the adult version of Rainbow, where Geoffrey gives Bungle the bear a right good seeing to.

I loved that show as a kid. Rainbow and Sonic the Hedgehog. They were the things I loved most. Apart from my history teacher at Little Lever High School.

Wow.... Pretty pathetic deflection.... Don't hold out for a career in politics






Here are some details about mouldy green power that LIE-berals and loons like Greta DO NOT want to discuss!




Here is an article that LIE-berals generally and nut bar environmentalists specifically WILL NOT want to read! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Limited Lifespans of Wind Turbines Result in Higher Costs of Energy

Written by Mitchell Rolling From Americanexperiment.org

in Energy, Environment. Published June 26, 2018

Have you ever read that wind energy “is the cheapest energy source available?”

These claims are based on cost-estimates that assume the lifespan of wind turbines to be 30 years. However, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the lifespan of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years.

(Oh dear who would have thought LIE-berals would MISS-REPRESENT the value of a favorite gravy grabbing policy?)

In Iowa, wind turbines are reaching the end of their lives even faster as MidAmerican Energy plans to repower turbines constructed in 2004, merely 14 years after they were installed.

(In summer 2019 a wind tower located in the snowbelt area near Pontypool Ont. Actually caught fire and disintegrated - a TOTAL LOSS! LIE-berals DO NOT tell us that wind towers need to be DE-ICED by a helicopter spraying fluid in on them and one wonders if too much ice build up would weaken the blades? Nobody has said why the Pontypool tower disintegrated! Nor apparently has anybody counted the fuel cost of helicopter de-icing runs!)

To make matters worse, these cost-estimates attribute 30-year lifespans to every power plant – not just wind turbines – even though coal, nuclear, natural gas, and hydroelectric plants can generate electricity for more than 50 years.

(OH? MORE FUDGED LIE-beral numbers? And we already KNOW that LIE-berals fudge the service life and range of their electric TOY cars! LIE-berals tout their “fast chargers” as a quick way to refuel their TOYS - BUT THEY DO NOT MENTION that frequent use of fast charges generates heat that SHORTENS BATTERY LIFE even further!)

(In the case of one real estate agent who used fast chargers for his electric TOY 2-3 times PER DAY - his battery BURNED OUT WITHIN 30 months of purchase!)

(Imagine the LAWSUIT if a gas powered car burned out in a couple of years and the maker just shrugged! And the cost of a new battery is HUGE! Electric TOYS offer low maintenance - BUT THERE ARE OTHER HIDDEN COSTS! As is USUAL with any LIE-beral deal - THERE ARE ALWAYS STRINGS ATTACHED!)

Because these reports only look at a 30-year window, they fail to account for the additional spending necessary to repower a wind turbine and extend its life. According to a report conducted last year, investments in repowering these turbines will exceed $25 billion by 2030 in the United States.

(And WE KNOW who will be on the hook for those charges!)

By not factoring in this additional spending, these reports not only underestimate the true cost of wind energy, but overestimate the cost of power plants capable of generating electricity for more than 30 years.

(There are other articles discussing the potential cost of govt being forced to pay for dismantling worn out wind towers after the owners walk away from the gizmos that no longer generate any revenue! The cost of dismantling a typical tower runs about $200,000 dollars U.S. and tower owners are balking at putting up cash in advance to ensure their towers will be safely dismantled later!)

In other words, these cost-estimates tell us is that wind energy would be the cheapest source of energy if all power sources produced electricity for a similar period of time… but they don’t.

Additionally, because wind turbines can only produce energy when the wind is blowing, they generate electricity less frequently than other generation sources. In Minnesota, wind farms produced electricity only 34.67 percent of the time in 2016.

(The TRULY WORST aspect of wind power is that in Ontari-owe - green power is SO UNRELIABLE that LIE-berals set up natural gas fueled generators - fully powered up and fully manned and SITTING IDLE- just WAITING to take over from the mouldy green power when the wind stops blowing or the sun don’t shine! Yes - for every kilowatt hour of green energy there MUST BE a corresponding kilowatt hour of FOSSIL FUELED BACK UP POWER!)

This is far lower than coal at 56.9 percent, hydro power at 64 percent, and nuclear at 84.6 percent. Natural gas plants are utilized at a lower rate of 17.6 percent in Minnesota, but this is because natural gas is used often used as a “backup” source of electricity when the wind isn’t blowing.

(Oh - Minnesota has the same issue of mouldy green UNRELIABILITY AS ONTARI-OWE! And should we ask if LIE-berals think it is a GOOD THING for LIE-berals to create all those good paying HOG JOBS - for future LIE-beral supporters at fossil fueled back up generators? The answer appears to be HELL YES! In Thunder Bay - LIE-berals converted a coal fired generator to burn “bio mass” which is pellets made of waste wood and paper products and other flammable garbage!)

(TOO BAD there is NO North American supplier of Bio Mass so LIE-berals have it SHIPPED IN from Europe - creating a HUGE carbon footprint and resulting in the plant now producing “green” electricity at a rate TWENTY FIVE TIMES ABOVE the usual generating costs! But LIE-berals DID SAVE SIXTY HOG JOBS AND BOUGHT THOSE VOTERS - at the plant!)

As wind turbines grow older, their utilization rates become even worse, dropping at a rate of 1.6 percent each year – which eventually requires the turbine to be repowered.

This means that we get less bang for our buck from wind turbines as time goes on. Although other power plants become less efficient over time as well, upgrades to improve the efficiencies of these facilities happen much later in their lives. Repowering wind turbines increases efficiency, but only for another 20 to 25 years until they need to be repowered once again.

(In other words - not only have we been LIED to about how long wind towers will last - we have also been LIED to about HOW MUCH POWER they will produce during their suddenly quite IFFY service life!)

Minnesota has invested more than $15 billion on wind energy, and the limited lifespan of wind turbines means the state will soon have to spend even more money just to update the wind turbines we already have.

(We KNOW that Germany and Spain - who both have VERY WINDY Atlantic coast lines - invested heavily in wind power and then as the towers aged and real time information on costs became available - they SWITCHED BACK to natural gas generators! Spanish numbers tell us that for every “Green Job” that govt subsidies create - 2.5 old style jobs DIE!)

(The LIE-beral vision of a Green Future HIDES MAJOR unemployment and poverty and HUGE HIDDEN COSTS!)

This is exactly what Xcel Energy has planned to do, recently requesting for another Power Purchase Agreement that will cover repowering wind farms in northwest Minnesota. This is part of Xcel Energy’s plan to spend an additional $7 billion by 2022 implementing renewable energy sources in the state.

(A new agreement for Xcel Energy? Do they ALSO NEED HIGHER PRICES to PAY for that COSTLY wind tower rebuilding? It seems LIKELY THEY DO!)

The short lifespan of wind turbines is rarely discussed, yet it has a massive impact on the cost of electricity for Minnesota families and businesses. Worse yet, wind energy investments were and still are completely unnecessary to meet our energy needs because energy consumption in Minnesota has been essentially flat since 2006, and existing energy sources were capable of meeting the entirety of those demands.

(Oh - but think HOW HAPPY civil service union HOGS in Minnesota and other places are to have those Green Energy companies to invest in! LIE-berals are borrowing HUGE SUMS with which to buy HOG VOTES - and HOGS NEED some place to invest their gravy and grow it because THEY DESERVE EVER MORE - so LIE-berals have created this opportunity for HOGS to own wind farms so the public can BE PRICE GOUGED for electricity and generate GRAVY FOR HOGS! And then we get to pay back the debts created when LIE-berals borrowed the gravy to give to HOGS to create those wind farms in the first place! We ARE DOUBLY SCREWED by LIE-beral mouldy green!)

Wind energy is indeed very costly; even without fuel expenses. This is because wind facilities require more frequent upgrades than other power plants and produce energy at far lower rates.

(In cold climates like Minnesota - wind towers also NEED visits from fuel guzzling helicopters - spraying de-icing fluid onto the blades to avoid them getting iced up and unbalanced and weakened or even broken and that is yet another cost that LIE-berals DO NOT speak of!)

If cost-estimates are going to be calculated correctly, accurate lifespans and capacity factors of different power plants need to be accounted for.

(How sad that LIE-berals DO NOT want to provide an HONEST breakdown of the carbon foot print produced to create and erect even a single tower with 2 or 3 HUNDRED TONNES of concrete and steel, not to mention the copper wire for the actual generator and assorted electrical software to operate the machine, plus the aluminum wire and MORE Concrete and steel to connect the generator to the power grid; AND THEN ADD IN the carbon footprint for the BACK UP natural gas generators that are ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED to ensure a STEADY supply of electricity when mouldy green FAILS!)

(LIE-berals HAVE NO INTENTION of using FAIR ACCOUNTING practices to judge the value of ANY OF THEIR POLICIES! LIE-berals think we should be content to TRUST our LIE-beral overlords WITHOUT QUESTION!)

Where did she get the money NZ? She is on record that she does not receive and rejects any donation or awards directed toward her, it's not about her it's about world. Now she has 100 Grand to donate "come on man" this smells of either hypocrisy or corruption on her or her handlers part.

That`s nice! Grumpy Greta is trying to help Swedish kids afflicted with Wuhan Pestilence!


And WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK where a teenage high school dropout got $100 grand!


Oh.........right ............she has all those CORPORATE SPONSORS who want to make over the wold FOR THEIR PROFITS!



In other news - WHY HAS Nut Zone Doug not made an appeal to his BEIJING BUTCHER MASTERS


to send out some aid to Greta?


After all it was a series of FILTHY LIES that allowed careless Red Chinese officials to let Wuhan Pestilence loose in the world!


Or are the Beijing Butchers too busy making a profit off selling FAULTY MEDICAL GEAR to the rest of the world


to be bothered with Grumpy Greta?

Well YES! Red China IS the world leader in exports of Fentanyl!






Here is yet another article illustrating how badly ALL LIE-beral policy is failing on all fronts. With some comments of my own in brackets):

EDITORIAL: Fentanyl, the made-in-China killer

While Justin Trudeau cozies up to China in a bid to open up trade channels, he claims he won’t miss opportunities to bring up the country’s human-rights abuses.

But, what about fentanyl?

Canada is in the middle of an opioid crisis. Recreational drug users are being advised to be safe rather than dead, and pack Naloxone anti-overdose kits in their purses and backpacks.

It doesn’t take much fentanyl to kill you. A very small amount will do you in.

According to the RCMP, the greatest supplier to Canada of counterfeit fentanyl originates in China.

(Oh swell! A “made in CHINA” fentanyl crisis! Was it not enough that China is heavily involved in all manner of industrial espionage? Not enough that Chinese agents are scouring the world for pieces of crashed Yankee technology- drones, missiles, and especially stealth technology so they can defy Yankees militarily and arrange to TAKE whatever resources China thinks it needs? Is it not enough that Chinese resource hunters are behind the slaughter in Darfur?)

(Canadians are not immune to this aggressive Chinese technology and resource “shopping spree”. About 5 years ago Chinese did something that Cdns have NOT done- China launched its first Class 1 ice breaker- capable of travelling to the North Pole alone and unaided and coming home safely. With NO Arctic coast line- where do Chinese plan to use such a ship? The Chinese admiral in whose fleet the ice breaker will run gives us a hint: stating “China has 20 percent of the worlds population and it is ENTITLED to 20 percent of the worlds resources. Cdns should consider WHY China wants an ice breaker- even as arctic ice melts under global warming and geologists start mapping the treasures available under the Beaufort Sea and in other arctic waters!)

(The capper on this Chinese crapper is that Our idiot Boy Justin is pushing for relaxed NAFTA rules governing labour movement between Canada and United States- which will allow Chinese. Iranian and Russian sleeper agents seeking Yankee technology to take advantage of almost non existent Cdn national security to sneak into Canada and then slip into United States using Cdn documents as a cover! And Our idiot Boy is finding it hard to understand why security conscious Yankees are giving him a hard time over this open border with NO security crap!)

(Yankee security agents are aware that Our idiot Boy posed in public- for a selfie last year- with a Muslim terrorist that cops had an arrest warrant for- the guy wandered through the PM`s security detail- posed with our idiot leader and then wandered off again. Most recently Our idiot Boy apparently took a Sikh murderer with him on his Indian “holiday” and is now trying to figure why Indian govt- fighting hard against Sikh terrorists- will not officially talk to Our idiot Boy! Our idiot Boy has NOT helped his sanity case by having a cozy little meeting with Taliban poster boy Joshua Boyle- who claims to be a long time friend of Our idiot Boy! And both Yankees and Cdns are asking whose side Our idiot Boy is really on after his insane award of $10.5 million dollars to Omar Khadr- and another $40 million to 3 other Muslim wack jobs!)

After all, what’s not made in China anymore? Anything that can be knocked off is being knocked off by Chinese manufacturers, with the least of their worries being contamination and quality control.

(Its not as if Chinese quality control is merely a problem for foreigners- there was a MASSIVE stink in China when it was discovered that thousands of Chinese kids had sickened and even died after drinking milk laced with toxic Melamine! If we expand our trade with China we also expand our risk of contamination from suspect goods and products! With Chinese SNEERING at any and all complaints from the west! We got Asian Long Horn Beettles and Emerald Ash Borers thanks to shipping crates arriving here made with contaminated Chinese lumber- so now we face devastation of deciduous forests across ALL of North America- with huge sums being spent to take down dead trees in urban areas simply because Chinese refuse to treat their wood crates against insect infestation before shipping it here!)
While the numbers for 2017 are not yet in, the federal government’s special advisory committee had Canada on track for 4,000 deaths related to the continuing opioid crisis, with fentanyl gaining notoriety as the biggest killer of all.

It’s been rightfully called an epidemic.

One of the best-known fentanyl analogues on the streets today is known as China White, and it is as close as the simple click of a computer mouse — made in China, disguised and packaged in China, and delivered to your door by Canada Post or your preferred courier.

(Gosh- just a click of the mouse can get you chemicals to kill yourself with? And are we not glad that LIE-berals have ORDERED Canada Post to deliver parcels under a certain weight regardless of what they may contain? Forged Cdn health cards from Nigeria and fake credit cards from all over are ON the MUST DELIVER list! With short staffed cops trying to find enough man power to sit on the drop boxes in hope of catching somebody doing a pickup! LIE-berals do not want to admit it would be CHEAPER AND SAFER just to confiscate contraband!)

Five hundred grams of fentanyl, enough to kill off a small town, but small enough to easily conceal, has a street value of $1 million.

When the Trudeau Liberals next travel to Beijing to take another run at a trade agreement, they would serve Canadians well by bringing Chinese-produced fentanyl into the equation.

(Do NOT hold your breasth waiting for that to happen! Our idiot Boy Justin has already told us “that he likes the way Chinese Communists get things done”! And he has NEVER repudiated the vile comments of his father about Chinese Chairman Mao! Papa Pierre went so far as to compliment “the genius of Mao in rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows” merely to cement his hold on power! The Trudope clan has a LONG history of being friendly with dictators- especially the Soviet style ones- so there will be no Trudope criticism of China!)

The opioid crisis in our country has health authorities in a panic, and giving away free Naloxone kits is a stop-gap measure.

Until the Liberals get the Chinese onside, one answer is to monitor shipments coming into Canada from China that authorities believe have the potential to contain the deadly substance.

(Sadly- less than one percent of shipments of ANYTHING coming here are ever closely inspected- our national security has never been so hard pressed or short staffed- nor so fully sabotaged by LIE-berals! Its so bad that Canada Post has been ordered to simply deliver any parcel under a certain size- even if Posties KNOW it contains contraband such as Cdn Health Cards made in Nigeria! LIE-beral hug a thug judges have decided it is more important for illegals to have access to Cdn health care than it is to put Cdn cancer patients at the head of the health line! And Cdn cops are left to find the staff to watch post office boxes for days or weeks in hope of arresting those coming to collect the contraband! And Cdns are left to wonder why cops tell us to come to the station to make a report of a crime because cops are too short staffed to come to the crime site- with Cdns then watching as the police paperwork is filed- UNDER FORGOTTEN!)

A full-scale assault by the RCMP and our border agency on China-product fentanyl will be costly, but 4,000 deaths in a year, and counting, is too high a price for doing nothing.

(We do 70 - 80 billion dollars in trade each year with China and we do 700 -800 billion dollars in trade with Yankees- and LIE-berals have ALREADY made their preferences known- they will snub Yankees and suck up to China! Our idiot Boy prefers that eastern Canada buy its oil from socialist pest hole Venezuela rather than from Alberta! Pierre Trudope sneered at what he called “Cdn Imperialism” which apparently means condemning western culture and democracy and Our idiot Boy has apparently taken up his father`s cursed cause!)
