And still, some empty souled people support him for extremely selfish reasons.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This falls into the “you reap what you sew” category.
Putting the devil in charge then complaining about it deserves no sympathy.

That’s outstanding!
Wish I could have made it!

2025 #ParadeOfLights set to start in #Halifax. Heard the “big guy” may make an appearance… One of our favourite traditions is a this weekend where our mindset shifts from “Thanksgiving & fall mode” to “Christmas prep mode”. Every year it’s a heartwarming event.

This is how it’s supposed to be.
Progressing towards a brighter future. Not hanging on to a dark past that’s bound to kill us all in the end.

Beastie Boys are their own genre of music. Nobody has been able to replicate their style. They were used by the music industry to make rap mainstream, but they used that start to entertain us for a lifetime.

This is right out of the “you can’t fix stupid” pile. #cdnpoli

A great #Angels offseason?
1. Trade Taylor Ward, start season with Nelson Rada in LF
2. Sign Alex Bregman, release Anthony Rendon
3. Sign Ranger Suarez & Adrian Houser
4. Sign Gregory Soto
5. Trade for Brandon Lowe, Moore to AAA
6. Shift Aldegheri to pen
7. Klassen, Dana & Ferris begin '26 in AAA

Send some to the #Habs, please.

Cautionary tale in #MLB Free Agency:
If #Marlins trade away Sandy Alcantara this offseason and do not add any other salary, they'll pay their entire 40-man roster less money ($36.8M) than #Angels 3B Anthony Rendon will make in 2026 ($38.5M) after putting up a 0 HR & 69 wRC+ season in 238 AB.

More importantly, #Angels would address their SP issues with these moves. Rotation ends up with:
1. Ranger Suarez
2. Yusei Kikuchi (L)
3. José Soriano
4. Adrian Houser
5. Reid Detmers (L)
With depth in AAA:
Caden Dana, Mitch Farris (L), George Klassen, Joel Hurtado and Walbert Urena

Result would be this lineup
SS Zach Neto (24) R
DH Mike Trout (34) R
2B Brandon Lowe (31) L
3B Alex Bregman (31) R
1B Nolan Schanuel (23) L
CF Jo Adell (26) R
RF Jorge Soler (33) R
C Logan O'Hoppe (25) R
LF Nelson Rada (20) L
Great mix of youth & experience, move on from Eeyore (Rendon)

What are the #OrixBuffaloes in #Japan getting in Bob Seymour?
Only one of the top slugging hitters in all of the minor leagues for 2025. He managed to maintain a solid SO% of 25%. If he can go to #Japan for a few years & learn to make more consistent contact, he could return to #MLB & explode.

Bob Seymour signed with #OrixBuffaloes in #Japan.
The Buffaloes were formed from merger of the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes and the Orix BlueWave.
Famous players from that franchise through the years?
Ichiro Suzuki
Hideo Nomo
Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Masataka Yoshida

#Rays CF prospect Leonardo Pineda (18) was 2 for 4 today with his 2nd double of the season and is now 5 for 9 through 2 games. Didn't strike out, walked once, continuing a strong start to his ABL season.

It was great getting together with Lou Schiff again. also covered gambling & its impacts, Salary Cap, and potential addition of relegation in #MLB - could it be the solution that gets teams spending?

For anyone who isn't a Geography buff and is wondering why the "Western Hemisphere" is used in this case, it's a display of aggression that seeks to wreck havoc on more than just America. It's a warning to #Greenland, #Denmark and #Iceland that what's taking place in #Venezuela is a precursor.

That's not what it means.
They know what it takes, and there is no society on earth that takes National passion more seriously than Japan.
Not one.

Personnel numbers has nothing to do with winning a war.
If that was the reason for winning a war, the United States would have won in Vietnam & Afghanistan, and Ukraine would have lost to Russia already. Intelligence, tactics, and just flat out determination is what wins wars.

Questioning Japanese people's passion for fighting just proves you know nothing about them.

Educate yourself.

How about 147 x F35 fighters?
Does that have to do with reality?

Get a grip folks.
Japan is a formidable military and a country the United States couldn't beat until they dropped nuclear weapons on them.
Consider that.

Absolutely it does.
