You cannot call yourself the 'greatest nation on earth' when you cannot feed your people....

You mean the Supreme Court that has already bent the knee to the emperor? That Supreme Court?

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

That's it, that's the tweet.

It's a safe bet that, should the Toronto BlueJays win the #WorldSeries2025 , they won't be making the traditional visit to the WH - and I can't be happier for them.

He can always find an open window.....

NATO secretary general says Putin is "running out of money, troops and ideas" NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is running out of resources to continue the war against Ukraine.

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Take it for what it is: an open attempt to change the US Military into a privately funded and run para military only beholden to the billionaires who pay their monthly cheque.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

Geert Wilders is intussen de tinnitus van de Nederlandse politiek. Al 20 nadrukkelijk aanwezig maar ook al 20 jaar precies hetzelfde geluid.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Useful to point out two things:

1. An application does not imply acceptance is automatic. It's up to the UK to make the grade.

2. Leaving the ECHR ends any talk of any improvement, and will end off programmes like youth visas and (likely) Horizon too

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

It isn't his house to remodel. It is a protected landmark. Whether he plans to leave it or not is irrelevant, he will leave. One way or another.

Things like this keep happening.

That membership no longer exists and even if it did it would never be offered to the UK. All it did was to feed their sense of entitlement.

New applicants don’t get opt outs. So it is all in or all out. For now the UK diet en qualify and the attitude is all wrong.

Carney: Up until now, more than 70 cents of every dollar of military capital spending by our government has gone to the United States.

With our new Defense Investment Agency, we’ll make sure we build more of our security and defense capabilities here at home

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
