American Exceptionalism

Here in Qualicum Beach, BC 4 days now. Not seen anything racist though one guy at the Shady Rest restaurant said he was a leading anti semite. Guy also said a lot of ppl pray in public in this town. Except for me nope. When I was in Nanaimo, BC Fuck Nazis was written on a bus shelter.

Some schools in America apparently don’t teach about Vietnam or that America won. Headscratch maximus.

Govt funding for PBS ended today. Trump tried to cut their funding in his first term but was forced to heel.

Rosa Parks got a school named after her and some rich guy paid her bills in the last years of her life.

That’s because they didn’t win. lol. U.S. combat troops pulled out in 1973, and the last Americans scrambled out of Saigon in 1975 during the chaotic evacuation under fire. Saigon fell that same year, and by the time you and I started at the Incentive School in 1978, it was already renamed Ho Chi Minh City, after the communist leader they’d been fighting. Nobody sane could call that a US victory.

The Afghan pull out by Biden which Trump set up by leaving only 2,000 US troops there was similar fiasco. Ppl falling off planes etc. Sad how Canada (Liberals) let so many of the ppl they promised to get out behind. Just like the fall of Saigon the retreat of govt troops was fast and totally chaotic.

True! Shameful.

At least it’s better than what Trump is doing, which is deporting those the US promised to help.

Trump is helping them get to a safe place. It’s not safe in the U.S. Too many guns.

Pretty freaking bad. Afghanistan just made the news Thé govt there shut off the Internet for 48 hours. Deporting Christians there ugh

Good grief what a lie. Trump is ordering out Christians to a land where they are in danger from the govt.

Good grief, don’t forget idiot. The government has placed the Oregon Police Department under investigation for arresting a reporter who was attacked by Antifa, Smartie. They should be home for Thanksgiving dinner.

China we arrest you for your political opinions or for not paying a bribe or your religion. We then beat or torture you take out your kidney or cornea to give to a Communist Party member or rich person. All without consent. China no free press no right to a fair trial. China we launch attacks on India which kill their citizens. China we claim the CDN Arctic despite our NE coast being 1,300 km away from the Arctic. China we spy on America and Canada. China we steal intellectual property ftom Canada. China we try fix ridings in Canadian elections. China we flood Canada with immigrants as ppl flee our peasant communist nightmare. Among these immigrants are spies and saboteurs and agent provocateurs. Yes they do some amazing things with engineering. Their food yummy.

That was true 50 years ago. Immigration from China to Canada now is down to nothing. Look it up. They can make more money in China and stay there.

You are incorrect. According to Statscan the years 2016- 2021 116,000 ppl from China moved here. They the last 10 years after India and another nation are the third largest nation of origin for immigrants. This does not include permenant residents from China or those from China working in Canada.

The RCMP has closed its investigation into two secret Chinese police stations in Canada saying there will be no charges. China has many Canadians in their prison system 150 as I recall. Some are no doubt guilty some no doubt innocent. All Chinese citizens should be kicked out of Canada and our govt should recognize Taiwan as a nation like we do Germany and Egypt and Japan and Israel.

There were 1,328,240 over that period. The Chinese represent less than 10% of our immigrants now. They are no longer “flooding us”.

ChatGPT:

Here are some data points for the 2020s:

  • In 2022, China accounted for 31,815 of ~ 437,000 new permanent residents, i.e. about 7.2 %. CIC News+1
  • For the 2020s (2020–2025), China’s share (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan) is given as 152,640 out of 2,191,395 total immigrants, or about 6.97 % overall. Wikipedia+1

So in the 2020s, China contributes around 7 % of Canada’s new immigrants.

Newsom has impressed me recently. I love that he trolls the Orange Idiot mercilessly.

His daily impression of Trump no doubt would win an Oscar.

Exceptionalism in America is at an all time high. Off the chart high imo but I may be exaggerating or stretching it a bit. I don’t know if the rest of the world works this way or not but in America, you don’t really have to go out and apply for a job. If you make yourself available, the job will come to you. You don’t have to worry about what role you will play or if you will qualify. You just have to be willing to accept that whatever happens happens. If a door opens, you go through it. That’s the way I’ve lived my entire adult life, with the exception of the first couple of years right out of high school. I’m nobody’s leader beyond my grandbabies, whom I lead around Walmart lol. Anyway, I’ve been approached and offered a part time job doing something I’ve already done before. I’m accepting it because I don’t believe this door would have opened for me if I wasn’t supposed to go through it. I know…weird lol.
