Liberals are so predictable and other fun stuff for Friday: Trump criticized for only donating one million for Texas flood relief...
*because he's worth a gazillion dollars and one million is just a drop in the bucket for him.* Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he skewered during the campaign for lying about his wealth? When his donation was announced our breakfast conversation went like this: *Me:* Donald Trump just donated one million dollars for flood relief in Texas. *Hubby:* You know, don't you, that he'll be accused of being a cheapskate for only donating one million when he's richer than God? I'm not even going to link to some of the silly tweets on the subject because they're not worth our time.... more »
Lidl supermarket chain desecrated churches in Greece
Last time when I talked about the Lidl discount supermarket chain – which should be opening its first shops in the U.S. now – it was about the Czechs' legitimate preference of models that look like us. Well, it's a Greek Week in Lidl right now. The next week is the Bombshell Prices Week. See the Lidl fliers. I like these events so among other things, I bought four frozen packages of Eridanous food. It's a brand that belongs to Lidl, the products are made in Germany, but otherwise they're supposed to look perfectly Greek. I thought that everything was fine about these packages. ... more »

Six Things to Know about the BC Liberal Leadership Race
Here are six things you need to know about the race to replace Christy Clark, based on the rules the BC Liberal Party released Tuesday.

(Plus $10,000 that you’ll get back if the party doesn’t levy any fines for bad behaviour during the campaign.) Second, it’s going to cost a lot more to win. The spending limit for candidates — on top of the entry fees — is $600,000. That’s a 33-per-cent increase from 2011 when Christy Clark w... more »

All this means we have had a fleet in place for almost twenty five years. The ships themselves bring one key technical secret and that is gravity control which went dark in 1955.
