A powerful speech by Germany’s Green Party EU member Terry Reintke on the state of rule of law in the US.

It embodies the shock over democratic backsliding, political extremism & threats to civil liberties in the US.

Europe remembers as it observes from afar.

Child rape is number one on this list, everything else in comparison is nebulous. I don’t care about his approval ratings, I care about the CHILDREN he raped & the women he assaulted! Dem’s must win in Nov. so we can impeach & remove him in 2027!

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

PM Mark Carney stands up for his athletes, backs them publicly & treats them with respect!

Trump sits on the sidelines hurling “loser” like a toddler with a microphone!

Leadership vs. loudmouth

One lifts people up. The other degrades them

“The U.S. government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex-trafficking & influence-peddling scandal in our history — & Donald Trump is right at the center of it.” - @Rep_Stansbury

BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off in Las Vegas, someone just protected this video onto a building there!

It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most.

Hint: Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick and Steve Bannon are the all-stars of this game.

Bully Trump’s presidency has strained alliances by threatening allies such as Canada.

Bullies are best handled by showing strength rather than submission!

He throws tantrums & tariffs like a toddler throws toys.

We Canadians now shop & vacation in Canada eh ❤️🇨🇦

“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Berthold Auerbach

There are not many feelings comparable to the one I get when I hear a new piece of music that suits my tastes.

As German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

If this is “America First” then Canada is smart to step back. We don’t confuse chaos with power.

Trump didn’t weaken Canada. He weakened the United States & handed our enemies exactly what they wanted.

We don’t bow to bullies! We are masters in our own home!

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

If you believe in decency and inspiring strategy in our world and want to know what's real, then look no further than
PM Mark Carney who wrote this speech and spoke in Davos.

It's worth your time!

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.
