Millionaire US big game hunter, 75, is trampled to death by five elephants in central Africa.
Californian vineyard owner Ernie Dosio, 75 – who owns a vast collection of exotic animal heads in trophy rooms at home – was trampled to death. He was being guided by a professional hunter in the thick forest of Gabon on a £30,000 ($40,000) stalk for a shot at the elusive yellow-backed duiker. Over the decades, he has hunted elephants, leopard, rhino, buffalo and lion across Africa and back home in the US, he has hunted almost every species of wild deer.
But the highly respected hunter’s luck ran out last Friday while in the Lope-Okanda rainforest when his hunt stumbled into five female elephants with a calf. African elephants are the largest land mammals and females can stand 12ft tall at the shoulder, weigh nearly four tons and run at speeds of up to 25mph.
The startled elephant herd immediately charged Mr Dosio and his professional hunter. The elephants were so well hidden in the dense undergrowth that they appeared ‘as if from nowhere,’ and the professional with the high-powered rifle was just flung aside.
Didn’t have Elephants on my 2026 bingo card, along with the TEMU submarine and random pissed off Italian guy from previous years.
Remember how 9/11 happened and everyone was “never forget”? Well, really, how much do you remember? Do you even care anymore? The reality is, no, you don’t. There’s barely even a thought outside of “oh shit, it’s Sept 11th? Shit, that means winter is coming soon, better get out the hoodies and long pants”.
In the same way that Remembrance Day is basically not even a thing anymore. In America alone there were nearly 17 million people who served, and there’s about 40,000 still alive. That number is expected to be under 1000 in a few years. But, I’m in Canada, so let’s talk about that. There were about 1.1 million who served in World War II, which was about 10% of the Canadian population at the time. Of that, about 45,000 of them died while serving. There’s about 3600 of them left, give or take 3000 men, and 600 women, which is less than 0.3%. The average age of these veterans is 100 years old. They are dying at a rate of a few hundred a month, leaving us with no remaining WWII vets real damn soon. What is rememberence day outside of “oh, there’s sometimes a moment of silence”. In school, we used to go to the gym for an assembly and we’d listen to Flander’s Field, and there’d be a trumpet. That doesn’t happen anymore – we’re too focused on “Gotta learn as much as we can! No time for assemblies!”. We’ve basically forgotten about World War II which was 80 years ago. And, we’ve largely forgotten about 9/11 which was only 25 years ago.
Remember when the Panama Papers were published and we learned all these Millionaires and Billionaires were dodging trillions in taxes by moving their money overseas? Remember when a ton of them were convicted and jailed over these fucking ridiculous financial crimes? Me either – that’s because it never happened.
Remember when the 2008 housing market crash happened because of a fuckload of super corrupt bankers and stock market pricks? Then, remember when a bunch of them went to jail for their crimes? Ya, me either because that also didn’t happen – instead, we blamed it all on Teachers, Nurses, and Immigrants.
Remember when the Epstein files dropped a while back and everyone was up in arms? Remember when a bunch of people went to jail for it? Ya – me either, because none of that is happening either. Rapist pedophile Prince Andrew is basically a free man, but has been “shunned” from the Royal Family – but let’s be honest, that’s just for optics. They fucking murdered Princess Diana, so why not just sweep some child raping under the couch too.
Trump? Naw, he’s going to die a free man, and a billionaire – all from ill gotten gains and a fucking boatload of financial crimes that is the makings of a Bernie Madoff wet dream. Gizz shot Maxwell is in a country club, and there’s hundreds, possibly thousands of women who have been sexually abused by these fucking monsters all having to live their lives with no justice. What about all the money Epstein had? Where’s all that? No restitution paid to the survivors. What about the teenage girls who were murdered by these fucks? Nothing. What about the teenage girls who were forced into abortions, or had their newborn babies murdered? Yup. Nothing. What about the report that Trump was on a boat when their drown a newborn baby from one of the teenage girls who was repeatedly raped? Yup, nothing again.
We’re going to forget the Epstein files just like we forgot the housing crash, just like we forgot the Panama Papers, just like we forget Iran Contra, just like we forgot Iraq, just like we forgot 9/11, just like we forgot MK Ultra, just like we forgot residential schools, just like we forgot how the Catholic Church is basically a pedophile ring, just like we forgot Vietnam, just like we forgot the insane injustices forced upon the natives in both Canada and the USA, just like we forgot how many of our grandparents and great grandparents fought the Nazis to protect the world from fascism, and are now cheering it on like it’s some sort of new TikTok trend.
We’re going to forget, because we’re fucking idiots.
Let’s defund education some more. That’ll fix this.
Just another great example of dumb fucking people spending WAY too much money on a bullshit festival so they can take Instagram photos which mean absolutely nothing, all while funding billionaires who then donate that money to fascists so they can continue making billions without paying taxes. That’s the long and short of it, anyways.
Here is how it works: Coachella is run by Anschutz Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation, which is owned by right-wing billionaire Philip Anschutz. Money from The Anschutz Corporation’s treasury, which includes the profits from Coachella, is funneled directly to right-wing organizations that support key politicians funding ICE, undermining LGBTQ rights, and restricting abortion.
The Anschutz Corporation donated $125,000 to the Republican Governors Association (RGA) on April 3, 2025.
The company also donated $125,000 to the RGA in 2024, $100,000 in 2023, and $100,000 in 2022. (The RGA, which is organized as a 527 organization, has not yet had to disclose any 2026 donations.) This money is used to ensure as many Republicans as possible are elected. Over the same time period, the Anschutz Corporation has not donated any money to the Democratic Governors Association.
The Anschutz Corporation donated $100,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) on April 1, 2025. This is the company’s first donation to RAGA since 2022, when it donated $125,000. Democratic attorneys general are fighting the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in court, but The Anschutz Corporation has not donated any funds to the Democratic Attorneys General Association.
The Republican-controlled Congress has provided tens of billions of dollars in additional funding for ICE. The Anschutz Corporation donated $250,000 to the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), a Super PAC devoted to maintaining Republican control of the Senate, on April 3, 2025. The company donated $500,000 to the SLF in 2024 and $500,000 in 2023. In 2023 and 2024, The Anschutz Corporation donated a combined $375,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), the Super PAC supporting Republicans in the House. If Republicans lose control of either the House or the Senate, it will be much more difficult for the Trump administration to fund its immigration crackdown. The Anschutz Corporation has not donated any money to Super PACs supporting the election of Democrats.
Candidates and officials who are supported by RGA, RAGA, SLF, and CLF have also worked to undermine other issues important to Carpenter, including LGBTQ rights. Republican governors signed dozens of anti-LGBTQ laws last year, Republican attorneys general are filing lawsuits to restrict LGBTQ rights, and Republicans in Congress are pushing anti-LGBTQ legislation.
All this is basically happening, all while people like Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Beiber who have been outspoken against Republicans and ICE are more than happy to accept a payday from Coachella, so I guess their wallets are in fact more important than their morals and ethics. Add to that list Karly Hartzman of Wednesday (an indie band), who closed their 2026 Coachella set by declaring, “Fuck ICE’ and free Palestine.” David Byrne, the lead singer of Talking Heads, projected images of anti-ICE protests as he performed the song, “Life During Wartime”. All of these artists, and others who have made similar statements, are now generating profits for Anschutz, which he is using to support MAGA politicians. Perhaps they just didn’t know? Or, they just talk out of both sides of their mouths. Neither would surprise me – but, considering the history and multiple reports about The Anschutz Corporation, at this point I’d just call them ignorant if they aren’t aware.
In 2022, Popular Information reported on The Anschutz Corporation’s support of RAGA in light of the group’s efforts to restrict abortion rights. Representatives of The Anschutz Corporation told Popular Information the donations should not be considered an endorsement of the organization’s views on any issue. “Mr. Anschutz makes contributions to numerous organizations, usually for specific reasons,” a spokesperson said. “He does not review or support each of the positions taken by such organizations.”
In 2017, Anschutz faced scrutiny after his foundation donated to anti-LGBTQ groups, including the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council. Anschutz claims he doesn’t fund these groups anymore, which is just more billionaire bullshit because he just continues to support groups like the RGA and RAGA, which support politicians who are restricting LGBTQ rights.
This fucking ghoul is suing The Atlantic (One of the very few independent news sources left) for claiming he’s doing a shit job as the head of the FBI, and because he drinks excessively. What do you think?
And, this guy is a lawyer. Possibly one of the fucking dumbest ones, however. I don’t even have a law degree and I know they’re going to absolutely fucking bury him with discovery.
Now, basically every single bill he’s ever had since becoming director of the FBI will be entered into evidence. Had a glass of wine at dinner? It’s noted. A beer with room service? Noted. His credit card will be looked at line by line. Literally everything he’s done on the public dime will be under a magnifying glass, and you can be sure that he’s got a hell of a lot more to hide than all the shit that’s been on worldwide broadcasts of his drunken escapades.
His party at the Olympics? He claimed he was there on duty and it was all in his official captivity. Let’s see how many times he and his shitty little D-list country singer girlfriend have joyridden on government jets all over the world, but what I’m interested in are the trips to Vegas and Miami. Let’s see the receipts from all the night clubs and bars he frequented. And room service receipts. And restaurants. And that’s just the stuff billed to taxpayers. It should blow right up when we start looking at personal spending, too.
I’d pay some real money to be a fly on the wall in that court room for all the depositions. We can start with his no talent auto tune gold digging girlfriend, then move onto all of her shitty fake plastic filled friends that all dined on the public dime. Can’t wait for the Kash-man to get on the stand, if he even agrees to it. Fuck it, let’s bring in all those upstanding boys from the US Olympic Hockey team just to round out the clown show.
“‘Sometimes I find Canadians don’t actually realize how good they have it” said IMF’s Western Hemisphere Department head.
How fucking true that is.
That’s right. Canada is literally at the top of the G7 when it comes to financial strength at the moment. Carney is currently spending heavily in defence and infrastructure, while at the same time has actually cut taxes. You hear that, you morons? He’s cutting fucking taxes, building shit, and making us less reliable on our batshit insane brother to the south to stick up for us on the world stage, both financially and militarily.
None of the mouth breathers will understand this, but Canada’s debt to GDP is 43%. Most of the rest of the G7 is nearing 100% at the moment. Do you understand how fucking good that is? Yes, it’s not where we WANT to be, but compared to everyone else, we’re at the top. Can you understand this isn’t a Canada problem? This is a global issue. And, we’re doing better than everyone else. Just because it’s not what YOU want, doesn’t mean that it’s not a fucking cake-walk compared to others. Perhaps it’s time you travelled somewhere other than an all-inclusive resort in a country who’s entire existence relies on culture-less white people asking for chicken fingers and complaining because they don’t have Molson Canadian on draft half half way across the world. Who am I kidding, these people wouldn’t fly for more than 4 hours.
Anyways, isn’t it wild what happens when you elect a guy who doesn’t just understand global economics, but actually worked in it for fucking decades? You’re all making up these conspiracy theories about the New World Order, and how the World Bank or whatever controls everything, yet your knowledge of international relations peaked in grade 2.
What’s the word from Pierre Milhouse these days? Complaining about gas prices? Maybe he’s forgetting that we’re selling gas on sale right now. He’s crying “Carney is badly educated in economics”. This is satire, right? You literally have the guy who saved the UK from financial collapse, who has served on governments of both Liberal and Conservative leadership in serious financial roles? The guy who graduated both Harvard and Oxford for finance. And then there’s this dweeb who got lasik and hired a personal trainer, but has nothing to show for himself that he’s literally ever done in his life besides qualifying for a full government pension since he was 31 years old? This is your guy? This is your god? This is your entire personality? That’s sad. You’re sad. Really. You are.
Perhaps that’s why so many Conservative MPs are crossing the floor to the Liberals. And, wouldn’t you know it, if you look back in history, there’s a long list of conservatives crossing the floor to be Liberals.
1867-1872 : 9 Conservative MPs cross to join Sir John A. Mcdonald’s Liberals.
1993-2003 – 8 Conservative MPs crossed to the Cretien Liberals.
2025-2026 – 5 Conservative MPs have crossed to the Carney Liberals
But, what about Liberals crossing to be Conservatives? Glad you asked. From 1917-1921 a total of 16 Liberals crossed to run as Unionists (basically Conservatives) during the conscription crisis. This was the sole reason, effectively. Sir Wilfred Laurier (Liberal leader at the time) opposed conscription, however the majority of the country felt as though this would be needed to help win the war. They also believed we owed a moral obligation to provide troops.
We had already suffered major losses in Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele and after a visit to Europe, PM Robert Borden insisted that the Canadian armies would be wiped out and collapse unless help was sent. The country stepped up, and Liberal MPs crossed to allow this to happen.
Perhaps this time it’s the Conservatives crossing to ensure the country stays afloat during one of the most desperate times of our modern era.
