And there is no โ€œacingโ€ the test. Thereโ€™s failing and not failing. Trump managed not to fail the dementia test. Bravo, Yambo!

Memo to Mark: yes. Thatโ€™s one major prong on your strategy. I hope to heck you aim at building trade relationships and agreements with the expanding list of BRIC countries, and not only India and China.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Ontario premier says he will pause anti-tariff ad that angered Trump The advertisement will be paused from Monday so "trade talks can resume", Doug Ford says.

#Ontario โ€˜s pathetic excuse of a premier, #Dougford has gone into hiding, now that #Trump unsurprisingly lashed out at ALL of Canada. Thanks Doug, you useless turd of a human being, for fucking up PM #Carney โ€˜s efforts on trade. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Globe editorial: Canadaโ€™s costly EV scheme stalls out again Stellantis decision to keep an Ontario factory shuttered underscores that Ottawa should rethink its floundering attempt to create a subsidized electric-vehicle industry

My head is imploding as it becomes painfully clear that PM #Carney is over his head in plugging the holes in #Canada โ€˜s sinking #economy. The #EV industry is a disaster. #Premiers squabbling. #Trump is slowly devouring us. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

This is VERY annoying, Charlie. Most people donโ€™t subscribe to the Star yet you provide a link WITHOUT any summary of the articleโ€™s main point. Waste of time.

As much as CBS News needs a major redo to increase its relevance to Americans Bari Weiss is NOT the person to lead the organization. She may have the hip appeal needed to attract Gen Z, and the now au courant anti-woke slant, but she lacks managerial experience AND is in bed with the BIg Tech bros.
