She should have smiled ear to ear and through her clenched-teeth smile repose the question and then add โ€œThere, is that better? Now answer the question.โ€

Thank you! You probably donโ€™t realize how many people you touched with your sunshine and reminders to seek joy in each other. Have a beautiful day!

The Speech Every 2026 Candidate Needs to Watch Moral clarity is rare in politics. But David Jolly shows us how it's done.

You have the warrants, just fricking go in to the crime scene and investigate, cameras on streaming live for the world to see if they try to stop you. Why wait for more permission. Push them out of the way and go in! Do they even bother with the law, the constitution, warrants, no! So get in there

Eyes on ICE: Document and Record ยท No Kings On Saturday, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in...

May his death not be in vain. May it be a wake up call to all who were on the sidelines but who can now see with their own โ€œlying eyes.โ€ May the fight now be massive. The truth is as clear as day. Bless you Alex: we will take up the torch you have passed in any way we can. Rest easy dear sir.

Thank you, Nicole. Nature reminds us of the cycle of life in these times we find ourselves in. May we all use our time as we walk this earth to be a light and yes, to fight hard when othersโ€™ chance at life is threatened. Beautiful scene and lovely water sounds. Thank you.

I was feeling the despair. Sun was out in advance of the big storm coming, and I drove to a hilltop, rolled down the window, and let the sun fill my heart and soul for an hour. Nature is healing; reminds us that the only thing permanent is change. There is light coming for all us fighters for good.

Exact same thing happened to me in catholic school. My mother (widow with 11 of us kids)had us think critically about messaging in advertising, politics, and tv sitcoms. So I was prepared for the Carter haters and argued facts. Thanks Mom! Those critical thinking skills made me leave the church too.

This is a very educational post. In my much younger years, I worked at grocery stores. Donโ€™t trust any of them.

Iโ€™m glad the idiot was on full display for the whole world to see. Every day we Americans (who canvassed like crazy and went door to door trying to talk sense into voters) have to hear and see this sh***t all day, every day. Heโ€™s insane and pure evil. The whole world cannot unsee this. Help!

If the โ€œmiddle powersโ€ join forces as Carney advised, history will record this as one of the most powerful speeches of a new world order. As an American appalled by our complicit Congress and the Trumpers around us, we should take this to the micro level, joining forces for our survival.

Thank you, Mr. Carney. We Americans here in the States who actively tried to prevent this disaster applaud your courage and intelligence. Today, Dump taunted you again. Donโ€™t take the bait like so many of our cowardly do-nothing Republican congressmen here are doing. Stay strong, Canada! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Please do something! We know heโ€™s not rational and he is dangerous but we donโ€™t have the power. Why are Dem senators and representatives not out on the steps of the Capitol every damn day together as a group with bullhorns. Put your faces in front of every news camera shouting. Do something!

So many of us here in the states campaigned our hearts out and tried to educate people about the danger of this madman. I spent weeks going door to door canvassing. Weโ€™re stuck walking the earth with these morons. God help us. We love you, Canada! Thanks for standing up to him.
