Watching or reading multiple sources is what I try to do. I go out of my way to view CNN or MSNBC just to get the liberal viewpoint. Fox went off the deep end during Trumps first term. CNN and MSNBC were lost years prior. But, by seeing both, and reading other sources, I get a better picture.

On those few days I work now, I listen to a few different shows. Julie Mason trys to stay neutral by having guests from both sides. She's clearly left, but I appreciate her approach. I also enjoy Mark Halperin's podcast. He also trys to stay neutral, has a left consultant and right consultant for their insights. He seems to be a touch right overall.

Cheers

SCOTUS with another extremely foolish ruling.

SCOTUS is dominated by radical conservative Trumpers but there is a limit to the foolishness even they can tolerate without becoming fools themselves. Throwing out his mail-in ballot order to USPS is a small and somewhat feeble gesture. They have finally drawn a line against Trump's idiotic decrees. Hopefully he will get the message and employ more forethought before shooting at the hip again. But that would require some ability to think rationally. Obviously, any pretence at a semblance of rational thinking pretty much went out the window when he posted pictures of himself as a robed-and-halo "Red Cross doctor" with US soldiers praying to him. That will certainly go down in history as the looniest thing any US president has done ... or probably ever will do. But maybe I'm wrong. We still have two more years of Trump and it's still possible he'll top that stunt.

The downside is this ruling opens the door for another bogus conspiracy theory angle for Trump to employ to declare the upcoming election fraudulent. I think we all know that is coming down the road.

Interesting article below. What I would say is "good, no sane American wants to go to New Brunswick for hunting and fishing anyway". I've spent a bit of time on the storied waters of the Miramichi and their other salmon rivers. I've fished all the best beats including Ted William's old haunts. I've spent a fortune there. I've stimulated their stagnant economy. I've never caught a fish there just like scores of others. When you allow "first nations" people to mass-harvest entire year-classes of spawning fish with nets, Americans don't want to go there anymore. They ruined a priceless fishery with their pandering to indigenous accommodation. (accommodation meaning they don't have to follow any conservation practices)

Hey Canada, when you threaten America with consequences, make the consequences tangible. Oh, and fix your terrible conservation model in New Brunswick.

Hey Perfesser Dontario Kneeshooter- The basic problem is that state and local officials develop and maintain voter registration rolls. Blue states are perfectly happy registering non-citizens or non-voting transients (usually homeless druggies with fried brains) to vote either directly or via surrogate proxy ballot harvesting. It is no more complicated than that. As simple a problem as that is to understand, it fails to register among the blind and stupid class or those who prefer a corrupt voting system.

Sounds like I’ll be able to get a good deal on a spring bear hunt if that comes to pass, seriously though all that is going to hurt is New Brunswick outfitters.

As for the natives they’ve been allowed to run unchecked for years and they are very good at destroying everything they come in contact with. The so called “stewards of the land” are about on par with locusts with what they do to any resource they can exploit for quick profit.

It’s hilarious that the liberals in Ontario, Quebec and eastern liberal provinces threaten
To ban U.S. hunters and fishermen. The best hunting in Canada starts in Manitoba and goes west from there. Not east.

Labrador is spectacular for fishing, but it makes Tanzania big-5 safaris look cheap. The reason it doesn't suck is its so remote the first nations can't destroy it all with over harvest.

Ironically, its the Canadian prairie provinces that are spectacular for sportsman. It turns out the Canadian farmer is a far better steward of the land than the alternative custodians.
