Evergreen advice for all journalists:

β€œIf someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the window and find out which is true.”

Andrew Carnegie was once the richest man in America.

He was no saint, but he spent the last third of his life building schools and libraries and concert halls and hospitals with his money.

Elon sent a car into space.

Are folks here following the Grok Scandal? Apparently there’s significant evidence that Grok was compromised at some point in the last 48 hours by a code intrusion that instructed it to avoid disparaging Musk or Trump.

And the entity supposedly pointing a finger at Musk for all this...

...is Grok.

Dear media: please report the news like this: β€œTrump lied and said Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating” NOT β€œTrump says Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating” and then 6 lines later: β€œa claim that appears to be without merit.”

See the difference? One spreads misinformation and the other is YOUR JOB.

Dude, YOU guys aren’t gonna have a vote come midterms, let alone the citizens of an annexed nation. The best part is this isn’t just a dense take, it’s the exact same take AP had a week ago. So not only are you a fascism enabler, you’re SLOW and UNORIGINAL at it, too.

Americans and Canadians are very different. While Americans are asking β€œwhat would Canada as a 51st state look like?” Canadians are asking β€œWhat would a decade -long bloody insurgency look like?”

I’ve paid hundreds of dollars to SUBSIDIZE Scarlett Johansen. Why? There is no reason. She doesn’t have anything I need. I have an iPhone, I should make my own movies. Without me paying to watch The Avengers, she ceases to exist as an actor. Therefore, she should become my cherished wife. 🀑🀑🀑

Fact: U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border in 2024. That’s medium-sized airport bag.

Pssst - it ain’t about fentanyl. Never has been.

It’s -12C where I live and a group of kids has been playing hockey on the marsh right beside Lake Ontario for the past four hours.

Never underestimate how tough Canadians are.

The speed at which the Trump bull is moving through the china shop is designed to make you overwhelmed, lose focus, and lose hope.

Don’t.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but Ezra Levant and friends are showing their true colours. Hope Canadians are clocking jersey numbers this weekend. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I want y’all to remember when we’re paying more for everything in the US and Canada that Trump β€” and only Trump β€” did this.

Not DEI. Not Trudeau. Not the β€œradical left” or the reverse vampires or any other bogeyman they inevitably trot out. Trump. He’s the one who is wrecking your way of life.

The irony of all the loons blathering about the β€œgreat reset” not seeing an ACTUAL β€œgreat reset” happening in the US right now is staggering.

You think green energy was β€œtoo expensive?” The bill for crashing the economy is gonna be … hoo boy.

He sat in a pew and was surprised to hear the Gospel of Christ instead of the Gospel of Donald. Then he attacked that message.

When are evangelicals going to wake up?

5. Money, power and the influence of ordinary people in American politics Americans have long believed that major political donors and special interests have too much influence on politics and that ordinary people have too

Billionaires want to keep us divided so we don’t notice them gaming the system and heading for the hills with our money and our public property. Folks on the right and left agree on this. So, to quote SinΓ©ad O’Connor - maybe it’s time to fight the real enemy. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Guys, guys, guys … it’s not a Nazi salute. Come on. What he was actually saying was β€œYou must be THIS tall to buy the American Government.”
