Americans like to imagine that terrorism is something that happens somewhere else. But this week, two attacks one at a Michigan synagogue and another at Old Dominion University offered another reminder that the boundary between global conflict and everyday American life is increasingly thin.
Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.
Ontario, please pay attention to this latest legislative attempt by the Cons to reduce transparency and accountability.
Furthermore, please, someone in the media gather and publish a list of all the legislative changes Ford and his government have made since 2018.
The lack of transparency of the Ford Govis already abominable. Ford's use of his personal cell phone instead of a Gov issue phone is already suspect. It appears he wants to hide his contacts. He's shown himself to love backroom deals with his financial backers. This move just makes it more fishy.

Donald Trump said high gas prices are great for America. Also up is down.and war is peace. This is what Republicans are campaigning on for this fall? I hope they do. Not many Americans are willing to suffer with sky hight gas prices so a few oil billionaires can make a few extra dollars #PB #USD

Well this piece certainly delivers and the last par is 😬

Our President is a child raping war criminal.
Do not come here.
I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.
The GOP's White Supremacist Policies Are Now Hurting Trump's White Voters
Trump's white base loved his cruelty and celebrated his corrupt policies, especially when they hurt people of color. Now, the white supremacist chicken has come home to roost.

I don’t know who called off the Target boycott, but my wife and I haven’t been there since last January, and we have no plans to go back.
What did I miss? Because I haven’t seen an apology or any real course correction. Target spit in our faces, so we made a conscious lifestyle change.
We didn’t just kill Mojtaba Khamenei’s Dad, we killed his wife/child too. If you bombed my family, aided my enemy, and then posted taunting propaganda videos from White House social media, I’d be ready to go nuclear. This admins lack of foresight and leadership is irresponsible.
And repeal Citizens United. Fund elections thru taxes - no donations from anyone.

Congressional Democrats are opening a probe into millions of dollars private companies — including ABC, Meta, Paramount, and X — pledged to Trump's planned presidential library, asking what happened to the money after the original fund was dissolved last year. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Why would somebody without a security clearance and that keeps saying that Canada is broken be negotiating anything with anyone?
There’s a saying “to many cooks spoil the broth”
Pee pee is cooking misinformation and hate🤬
The Canadian government is cooking for Hope and tolerance 🫶
They don’t mix☮️
Actually, I’d trust the magic 8-ball more than these two imbeciles
Meanwhile, in Vermont…
People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?

Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves healthcare.
Everyone deserves food, water and clean air.
These are not things you should have to “earn”.
Your ability to survive should not be based on economic output.
Help people meet their basic needs & watch the world change.
The Trump regime gave Netanyahu the regime change he wanted: from hardline extremist to ultra-hardline extremist.
It was never about liberating the Iranian people from a brutal theocracy or eliminating a threat to regional stability.
It was always about starting a war to avoid accountability.
When war becomes a distraction tactic, the cost is counted in flag-draped coffins. Political scandals fade from headlines, but the families burying soldiers cannot look away. Using conflict to change the subject is not leadership, it is the cruelest form of evasion.
I love it!
If the landlord refuses/neglects to pay the tax bill, the property goes up for tax sale, which means the city still recovers the costs of repairs.
Even if a bunch of slumlords shuffled these buildings between themselves, via tax sales, a bunch of repairs would still get done.
Good. Makes sense to me. There are some bad actors out there.

Strait of Hormuz being closed for 3 months would get Brent crude #oil up to $164/barrel.”

The horrific Iran school massacre makes me remember Lt. William Calley.
He and his regiment killed 22 Viet Nam villagers - an act that ended his military career.
The US dropped the Iran school bomb !
At least 165 children and adults were killed. Who will be held liable?
Should be Hegseth !
