Been seeing a lot more raptors of late. Sightings of owls, eagles, and hawk varieties in and around the perimeter of our yard. I'm anxious for the snow to retreat so birds aren't their only source of food.

MI House Speaker Matt Hall claims that Canada doesn't treat us fairly. He needs to back away from the Koolaid and brush that chip the size of Canada off his shoulder. Canada doesn't worship at the House of Trump, nor grovels at the feet of American businessmen who treat them like dog shit.

Trump won't, but if Trump has his way, he'll pass the "presidency" on to a Trump heir. If Republicans want to hang onto any shred of relevancy and don't want a Trump monarchy, they'd better step up to the plate now.

The billionaire Moroun family has long lobbied Trump to stop the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor and Detroit, arguing that it infringes on their exclusive right to collect tolls. Is it any wonder that Trump wants a piece of the action, even if it hurts Michigan?

That was before he hated Canada. For reference, Canada is funding 100% of construction of the bridge and both the Canadian and U.S. ports of entry. DHS is only contributing towards operational and staffing costs of the customs plaza. Sweet deal that Trump's going to totally screw up.

Commercial green house. Despite plans for upcoming growing season, that all might change. Awaiting call from insurance adjuster. Assuming insurance might cover half, but at our age, questioning if it's time for something else.

Looks like the steel beams are bent to the point of no return. Insured with 'replacement value' but imposed limit minus deductible would barely cover half. Hoping the equipment we were storing inside survived, but no way of knowing at this point.

Hopefully Canada realizes that renaming the Gordy Howe Bridge after Trump instantly makes it a target for international terrorists, not to mention a urinal for disgruntled Americans.

Trump’s bizarre post about re-opening trade negotiations is typical Trump. But Rob Russo giving the background on Trump, the Gordie Howe Bridge, the Ambassador Bridge - owner of the Ambassador being a Trump supporter. And more. Who knew? Russo did. Smart guy.

President Trump threatens to block Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening The Republican president issued a statement Monday about the $5.7 billion bridge project spanning the Detroit River on his Truth Social platform.

The Gordie Howe Bridge is an incredibly important infrastructure project for Michigan. President Trump's threat tonight to tank it is awful for our state's economy.

Canceling this project will have serious repercussions. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Yet Trump is never satisfied, and think it should be HIS.

Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Windsor and Detroit U.S. President Donald Trump says Canada and the U.S. will β€œimmediately” start negotiations over the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich.

Canada paid for the construction of the Gordie Howe bridge. The direct route will boost the economy of both Ontario and Michigan, providing approximately 4700 jobs in Detroit.

The bullshit regarding Hockey and Lord Stanley Cup is too stupid to comment on.

Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Ontario and Michigan | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit.

I'm assuming the owners of the Ambassador Bridgeℒ️, who have objected to the new bridge, have lobbied him to keep the Gordie Howe closed.

And the reason Canada owns both sides of the new Gordie Howe bridge is because they paid for the entire cost of the bridge, including the us customs plaza.

Pretty sure the Maroun family asked Trump to intervene.

This bridge being built between Windsor ON and Detroit MI, fully paid for by Canada, is called the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
It is literally the Elbows Up bridge. Yes, this is real life.

Good fucking gawd! Incensed that Obama approved the Gordie Howe International Bridge project, America's pedophile fΓΌhrer is trying to bully and strong-arm Canadians into renaming the bridge that'll connect Michigan to Ontario, Canada, the Trump-Gordie Howe International Bridge.

He'd probably settle for it being remained the Donald Trump International Bridge.

Canada is footing 100% of the cost of the bridge, but Trump has a chip on his shoulder the size of Canada, so he can't see how the bridge helps Michigan.

Trump doesn't care that this bridge would benefit Michigan, or that Canada footed 100% of its construction cost. Poor guy has a chip on his shoulder the size of China.
