I saw all the commentary, and then I actually saw the full clip. I agree to chill out. Although, he should ever have answered a hypothetical.

NEW: Reporting from Postmedia and newly disclosed briefing materials at today’s special Council meeting outline the scope of the provincial property tax increase. Cities like Chestermere will see increases as high as 32%, making this the largest property tax increase in Southern Alberta’s history.

Republican Senators continue to want to neuter Congress. Is Congressional check on the Presidency (tariffs, war, etc) only if they are different parties?

My point was that if the US had obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capability in June 2025, why did it need to strike again in February/March 2026? You can always rebuild because you have the knowledge, but rebuilding within 8 months?

US/Israel War and Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program In June 2025, there was a 12 day war between the US/Israel and Iran.

I didn't realize that Sharia Law was on the verge on occurring in Georgia!

Acting like a 12 yearold trash talking his friends playing video games.

That is not what imminent threat means.

Based on their oversight role in the Epstein case, I expect that former President George W. Bush will be called to testify over Iraq. GOPs job is to provide oversight over past presidents not the current one.

Family seeking $1.3M owed by Alberta separatist leader Dennis Modry after court order | CBC News Relatives of a prominent Alberta separatist who met with U.S. officials are upset that he has failed to pay back more than $1.3 million that he owes from a court order issued almost a year ago. A B.C....

A BC court found an Alberta separatist movement leader misappropriated $1.3 million of his elderly aunt and uncle’s money. Their niece says Dennis Modry hasn’t paid it back.

Nice to see the Speaker of the house abdicating the role of Congress in exercising its constitutional authority. First in trade and now in war.

President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged a personal dimension to his decision to attack Iran, citing the country’s efforts to assassinate him in 2024 as a factor in ordering the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. https://wapo.st/46wCLG4

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

For those that like videos, instead of the written word. This is similar to the substack that I just wrote.

In the last month, PM Carney has reached a deal with China on canola tariffs and India on uranium exports. In both cases, Carney was joined by Sask Premier Scott Moe. How much damage has this done to any nascent separatist movement in Saskatchewan?

Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/3OKIl1o

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Is oil behind the U.S. attack on Iran? Is oil behind the U.S. attack on Iran? To understand the Trump administration’s military targets, take a closer look at the petrostate pattern.

On Iran, see the larger context.

Five of the seven countries that the Trump admin has militarily attacked since Jan. 2025 are significant oil producers, even though petrostates are rare.

Mullin is not as dumb as Tuberville. But he sure is in the running.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

There are no laws in political science...

...but wars will always be harder, more costly, and induce more unintended consequences than anticipated.

This was a fun read.

Worse than Benghazi? That means years of hearings to disrupt Rubio's presidential ambitions.
