and wounding five. Wow. Wow. And believe it or not that man was also an ex-military guy. Yep. Two ex-military guys decided to shoot up a populated place. They were both white, in case you're wondering. But we don't know about their political leaning or anything like that. We'll find that out. Anyway, the one who shot up the restaurant is known to local police, so that could mean almost anything.…

rks out, does it? And I'm not sure why that is. Like why is it that there have been so many allegations that didn't work out? Maybe that's just the way it always is. Maybe it's always 25 to 1 allegations to reality when it comes to anything complicated like an election. So maybe all right.

I saw somebody say that guns were going to be banned in Canada and I thought, what? They're not going to ban guns in Canada? I mean that's crazy. There's no way they're going to ban guns in Canada. So I went to Grok to see if Grok agreed and he said no, no, no. They're not. They don't ban guns. You silly goose. They don't ban any guns now. They don't allow you to buy a handgun. It's not legal to buy a handgun. If you had one you can do some paperwork to keep it but you'll never be able to buy another one. So there's that. And then they're trying to get a ban on what they would think would be military type rifles. So I believe the only thing if they got their way the only thing that would be legal but it would still be highly regulated would be like a bolt-action rifle for hunting and a few other things but most guns would be banned if they get what they want. So good luck, Canada. Keep bringing in all the foreign nationals and ban the guns. That should work out great.

Again it's just another clear example of the left not understanding cause and effect. All right, you're bringing in massive Islamic people. Simultaneously you're disarming the people who are here. That can only go one way. There's only one way that goes. And if that's the way you planned to get rid of all the Christians in your country, good job. You're well on the way.

According to HR Drive, Laurel Kelner is writing that there's some biotech conglomerate that's being blamed for using DEI to discriminate. And this would be no surprise to any of you that wherever there is DEI there's massive discrimination against white males because that's how everything works in the real world. But I'm just going to say this and see how much trouble I get into. Based on what I see online, so this is not a survey or anything, but based on my observations online, I don't believe, well I'll say it a different way. Most black Americans believe that the thing that happens 100% of the time at companies happens 0% of the time. The thing that happens 100% of the time black Americans think never happens, doesn't happen at all.

And what I'm talking about is if you have DEI or even whatever was predecessor that if you have DEI what should happen in principle like in a perfect conceptual world is wow we were discriminating so badly that there were all these qualified black and brown and female candidates that were not getting jobs and they really should have because they were just as capable just as qualified. Now obviously there are people in every group that are at the top level of qualified and capable. So every group has plenty of people that are but plenty is not enough. It's not even close to being enough.

So my point on DEI is that you could change the races of everybody involved. It would still be a disaster. You could s

ay for example all right not enough Irish are being hired. So we're going to create a system where we're really going to encourage you to hire more Irish and we'll check on you and your pay as a manager will depend on if you get enough Irish. And then you go out and you find out everybody's trying to hire the limited quantity of Irish people who have the right skills for your high-tech industry fo…
