It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’

It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

This is a long way of saying the Trump admin more than likely conducted an illegal operation based on bad intel and murdered innocent people.

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

2 years ago today I launched ReBound Press and SHADOW PLAY! Retail operations have two years, generally, to stay in business so we are right at that tipping point ... Whether this business thrives or not, will depend on book sales!

Probably? What the fuck…did you even read the NIH study?

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

While RFK Jr. is busy destroying the very foundations of American healthcare (such as it is) and Making America Diseased Again, up here in Canada, we're working on becoming a country on the cutting edge of research and development for better health outcomes.
