This trans-identified man stabbed his 8-year-old daughter in the throat, severing her esophagus.

He also stabbed his 7-year-old boy.

His daughter required a feeding tube for months but a judge let him out on bail, pending sentencing.

He is currently roaming the streets of BC and Alberta, living in a minivan with “Every Child Matters” painted on the outside.

If you see him, stay far away. He admits he is extremely unstable, and a danger to society.

His name is Alice Michael Atwood.
This is his van, spotted in Calgary a few days ago. Image
The Canadian government and judiciary are beyond shame.

How is this real life? How is he free?

I guess I should explain why Ukraine doesn't want to go back to the USSR on example.
After the 1917 Revolution, the USSR went through a "naming revolution." Parents ditched traditional saints' names for "revolutionary" abbreviations to show off their loyalty to the Soviet cause👇
Vilor -V.I. Lenin, Organizer of the Revolution.
Marenlenst  -Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin.
Pofistal -Pobeditel fashizma Iosif Stalin (Joseph Stalin, Victor over Fascism).
Roblen -Rodilsya byt' lenintsem (Born to be a Leninist)
Kukutsapol -Kukuruza — tsaritsa poley (Corn is the Queen of the Fields). A favorite during Khrushchev’s "corn campaign."
Oyushminalda -O.Yu. Shmidt na l'dine (O.Y. Schmidt on the ice floe). Named after an explorer stranded in the Arctic.

Happy Valentine’s Day to those celebrating
#TalesfromtheHeart #NalaDamayanti

Distance tests. Fate humiliates. Time disguises.
But true love recognises its own - even in exile.
There once lived a King Nala, who ruled over the Kingdom of Nishadha. He was the commander of a vast army and extended his kingdom from coast to coast. His expertise in controlling horses and riding chariots faster than lightning amused the immortals. Image
From his courtiers, Nala had heard tales of Damayanti- the princess of ancient Vidarbha Kingdom & daughter of King Bhima. He knew about the beauty and the other good qualities of Damayanti and had seen many kings and princes desperate to marry her. He too was eager to meet her.

NEW: Trump spent last weekend complaining to allies about Republicans who criticized him over the racist video posted to his account depicting the Obamas as apes

Trump questioned the lawmakers’ loyalty & vowed consequences, sources familiar with his comments tell me

More behind the scenes: cnn.com/2026/02/13/pol…
Trump specifically railed against GOP Sens. Tim Scott and Katie Britt, I'm told.

He felt Scott, who is one of his closest Hill allies, should've handled the matter privately and thinks his post is what made the whole story blow up

He used even harsher language with Britt, including expletives and saying she's dead to him
Laura Loomer, meanwhile, presented Trump with printouts of the GOP critics' public comments, adding fuel to the fire

I just moved 30% of my portfolio to CASH.
Not because I'm scared.
Because cash is about to become the highest-performing "asset" of the next 3 years.
This will sound insane until you understand deflation. 🧵
Everyone thinks cash is trash:
"Inflation is eating your purchasing power!"
"Cash is for suckers!"
"You need inflation hedges!"
This narrative works in an inflationary environment.
We're not in one. We're entering deflation.
In deflation, cash is KING:
Your dollars BUY MORE as prices fall
Real purchasing power INCREASES
While everyone else's "hedges" collapse
It's the ultimate contrarian trade.

Due to the curves-neoteny tension, when you emphasize youthfulness you tend to de-emphasize curves and vice versa. If Jeff and Ghizzy's pals wanted to emphasize youthfulness in fashionable beauty standards, a deemphasis of curves would follow. Image
Evidence from data. Image

1/ Six months ago, the newly built Russian Navy tugboat Kapitan Ushakov capsized at its moorings during its final outfitting, when it was 97% complete. It's still there today, resting on its side, leading to some hard questions for the Northern Fleet. ⬇️
2/ The only thing that seems to have changed after six months is that the boat is now encased in ice at the Baltic Shipyard pier in St. Petersburg. It's an "endless disgrace", 'Military Informant' complains. But how and why has it not been raised? Image
Image
3/ The shipyard's owner, Yaroslavl Shipyard (YaSZ), says that because the vessel "is being built under a state defence contract ... there is no permission to disclose this information or comment on it."

Americans are being ripped off by low taxes. Wait - LOW taxes? Yes, low taxes.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing to a significant extent because the US is insisting on a weird private insurance model instead of just taxing.

Building energy code is forcing huge costs on new...
homes that are very inefficient with respect to their stated goals. If reducing carbon is the goal, it would be cheaper and more cost effective just to build cleaner power plants instead of overregulating construction.
The results of the above are wasteful and clear for all to see. Thus, they erode trust in government. The irony is that this distrust makes Americans want to insist even harder on not solving these problem through taxation.

In other words, psychological lock-in, to a bad system.
