I guess he inherits Kristi's fancy new plane with the bar and a bedroom. No doubt his first order will be to change the sheets.

Trump says U.S. sending hospital ship to Greenland | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he was working with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to send a hospital boat to Greenland — a Danish territory that Trump has ‌said he wants to acquire.

WTF??? www.cbc.ca/news/world/t... US sending hospital ships to Greenland to aid those not being taken care of! Greenland has a very good free medical infrastructure. BTW both US hospital ships, are currently docked and undergoing maintenance.

I think it's worth remembering that the first 4 of 159 Canadian deaths in Afghanistan were from friendly fire when 2 F16 pilots mistakenly bombed a Canadian position.

US foreign policy at least since WWII and probably earlier has been characterized by a complete lack of understanding of the concept of blowback.

My ancestry is Dutch and Irish. I'm whiter than Pat Boone's butt cheek on a slice of wonder bread. I'm very sorry and I'll never do it again.

The current deciding committee of five is currently chaired by the head of the Norwegian branch of PEN. I don't think Trump has much of an ally here.

I guess to the Republican Christian Nationalist crowd, it probably does serve pornographic ends, because that sort of content is exactly what turns their little cranks.

Trump may do well to re-read his copy of Leviathin, as well as reviewing lessons from his no doubt familiar copy of Rousseau's "On the Social Contract". Perhaps it's been too long since he pulled these tomes from his bookshelf.

I just love this stuff. Even as a humanities major with a fondness for medieval history, I sort of understand it around the edges; at least enough to be grateful that many can actually master such cosmic magic.

A number of years ago a colleague recently arrived from Sri Lanka asked me about any uniquely Canadian celebrations. Best I could come up with is we are the only country on the planet that still celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday. Anyway, happy 205th old girl.
