Moving On
Well, Donald, looks like the court, overnight, just ordered you to let CNN, MS NOW, and Politico back into the White House, immediately.
You are so predictable Donald that you’re gonna bitch and complain, but you’re not gonna appeal the decision. For the last couple of days, no one’s been carrying any of your activities on live TV. The leader of China arrived in Washington, yesterday. No one carried coverage of that, of you meeting him, of the red carpet treatment, anything. You were silenced Donald. You are still stunned by the fact that Fox News joined in the decision not to carry anything live. I guess this was a case of the pen being mightier than the sword.
So now, Donald, you can go back to what you consider priorities such as getting your name on every Washington building, the reflecting pool, the arch, and Natalie Harp. Meanwhile, the media can focus on things that you consider irrelevant, such as the Iran war, the high gas prices, your pathetic approval ratings, all the Republicans jumping ship, your economic war on Canada, and stuff like that. One more thing Donald we all have not forgotten about the Epstein files.
Have a nice day, Donald.

Just Kidding
Today is hump day, Donald. Or when you are involved, it’s chump day.
Let’s see. You spoke in front of the UN yesterday and you threatened, again to annihilate Iran. Not the right place to do that Donald. But you can’t help yourself.
More polling numbers are out this morning You are in bad shape. I hope you have scuba gear Donald. Cause you are so deep underwater in so many issues it’s sad. The economy used to be your strong point. You remember the good old days back in 2018 when you had strong positive numbers on the economy. Well now Americans trust the Democrats more than they trust you. You don’t even wanna go anywhere near the Iran war. as to what Americans think of you on that one.
Now let’s bring in the Canadian content. Couple days ago you said you were gonna buy your potash from Belarus. They want to give it to you on a much lower price than what we in Canada are doing. Then Belarus said we’re not gonna do that. We don’t even have anywhere close to what the US needs. And your farmers started to freak out. So you had to back down on that one didn’t you Donald? Meanwhile, Mark Carney is at the UN also, having trade discussions with countries, not named the United States. I guess we have a big trade agreement being finalized with India by the end of the year.
It truly sucks to be you, Donald

Media Strikes Back
Donald, your diversion play will not work. You banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds on Friday. I can understand that, in a way. Things are going so bad for you elsewhere that you wanted people to talk about a new issue. So you thought this would be the issue.
Donald, right now, 2/3 of your country, including a bunch of Republicans think you’re screwing up the war with Iran. Your approval rating is flirting at the 30% mark. You got tired of all this news in the media so you struck back at the media, in order to create a new issue to talk about. By the way, we haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files yet.
But it backfired on you, Donald, bigly. What happened was a beautiful thing never seen before ever. Then you proceeded to make it worse. The media has this thing where when they are following you they have one pool camera for all the networks. It was CNN’s turn on Monday, yesterday. You banned CNN from providing pool camera coverage. You figured one of the other networks would take their place. But in media solidarity, no one else did. You had events all day, but there was no live video coverage of it. Your voice was silenced.
Furthermore, Fox news is joining in solidarity with CNN and all the other networks. This was the joint statement put out by the major networks yesterday, including Fox
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.”
Fox knows that if you are allowed to carry this through that they could go through the same thing when the president is a democrat. Can you imagine how Fox News would’ve reacted if Barack Obama had pulled the stunt on Fox?
This whole thing is going to court tomorrow. You are going to lose this one just like you lost when you tried to ban Jim Acosta, and when you tried to ban AP news when they refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
You’ve also turned Kaitlyn Collins into a folk hero. Women reporters are not gonna take your crap anymore Donald. Actually the way the polls are showing nobody is taking your crap anymore.
We still want to see the Epstein files

Canada Day Calgary
I know that Canada Day is on July 1. But yesterday as Thomas Lukaszuk put it, Calgary had a,
“It’s sort of a Canada Day on steroids, because that’s what we need at this point in time.”
Thousands of patriotic Alberta Canadians attended a Forever Canadian concert featuring Jan Arden and others at a Calgary park, yesterday. According to the head of the Forever Canadian movement, Lukaszuk,
“We need to unite, we need to pull together and we need to send a strong message not only to the legislature in Edmonton, and not only to the rest of Canada, but to the rest of the world that as Canadians we are united, and nobody can break us up, and nobody can take advantage of us.”
The Alberta Separatists had planned to make their voices heard during this get together. They had organized a procession to the park from an offsite gathering point. However, this fizzled. There were a few separatist flags, very few, mixed in with the gathering, and a few cars went by honking, but that was it. They were a non-entity just as they will be after the October 19 referendum.

Reaping What She Sowed
Danielle Smith is beginning to realize that she is reaping what she sowed. Danielle has been dancing around the entire separation issue for a couple of years now. She was pushing for this concept of a sovereign Alberta within Canada, whatever the heck that meant.
Then the separatist movement caught fire and most of the separatists of course has supported Smith and many are part of her UCP party
Smith has put 10 questions on the referendum ballot to be held a month from now. The final question is whether to have another referendum on determining whether Alberta should leave Canada. The last couple of weeks Smith has been waffling on the entire thing. Last night, she gave, some call an emotional speech, supporting unity within Canada
Now, the Highland riding Association, a UCP writing Association in southern Alberta, of which the town of Okotoks is within, is demanding a leadership review. This is the first riding Association to do so. A total of 22 UCP writing associations need to request the same for an actual review to take place
Tanya Clemens is a board member of the Highland UCP riding Association and is also a co-leader of the Let Alberta Decide separatist group. This is what she posted following Smith’s speech last night.
“I disagree with the adversarial role she has taken toward independence during this referendum, because I believe our highest elected representative should have remained neutral and allowed Albertans to make this decision.”
To put it politely, she is pissed that Danielle did this to the separatist movement. Danielle, to put it politely again, you are screwed. You’re going to lose support from many within your own party for taking a unity stance. There’s a good chance, because of your actions the last two years that two new parties will be formed. A separatist aligned party and a conservative party who thinks you are too far to the right with your Wildrose party beliefs. In other words, you will be splitting up the conservative vote big-time. You brought it on yourself.

Nabobs Of Negativism
Getty Images The actual full term is ‘ nattering nabobs of negativism’. It was used by then vice president Spiro Agnew in a 1970 political campaign. It referred to pessimists and people always putting down the government. Later it became associated with the media.
Donald Trump, taking a page from Adolf Hitler, banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico, from the White House, yesterday. . He claimed in a truth social post that these organizations were spreading lies and falsehoods about him and his administration.
One of the things Adolf Hitler did was attack and demonize the free press. Donald Trump facing a number of terrible decisions is doing the same. Actually, he has been doing the same ever since his fake news slogan came out.
Make no doubt of this, this will go very badly for him. At a time when his ship is already sinking, this will just increase the damage. This is simply a misguided act of desperation. Hitler, when he took on the world, came to a bad end. Trump is approaching a bad political end.

Trumpland Snowstorm
The Detroit Lions played the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo’s home opener of their new stadium last night. Both teams are located close to the Canadian border. There was controversy, not with the game itself, but with the fact that both the Canadian and American national anthems were sung last night before the game. The Canadian anthem was sung by the Canadian group, the Barenaked Ladies.
Why was the Canadian anthem sung last night? Well, a Buffalo Bills spokeswoman put it this way
“thrilled to be part of such a unique event and to celebrate the connection we share with Bills fans across southern Ontario. The passion and support we feel from our Canadian fans is incredible, and we look forward to continuing to deepen those relationships and create memorable experiences together for years to come.”
Canadians, most, if not all from southern Ontario, represent 10,000 Buffalo Bills season ticket holders.
The controversy is the fact that the playing of the Canadian national anthem caused a snowstorm in Trumpland. Trump snowflakes are appalled at the fact that the Canadian national anthem was played at a US-based NFL stadium. The snowflake bitter complaints are ranging far and wide.
The Canadian national anthem is played before Buffalo Sabres NHL games. In fact, in April of this year, when there was technical difficulties with the microphone, the Sabres crowd sang the anthem for the anthem singer.
Despite Trump and his hatred for Canada, his anger at the country standing up to him, a lot of Americans and Canadians recognize the close friendship we have with each other. Trump has changed that relationship forever, but after he is gone, the friendship will remain.

Only Thursday
Donnie, it is only Thursday, I can’t believe how bad a week you’re having. Well, I guess I can because you are bringing it all on yourself.
The Supreme Court shot down your mail in ballot adventure. You’re so pissed off at the justices you nominated that you’re calling them mere shells of their former selves
I heard you blew up at the Kennedy centre board meeting. I guess you really want your name on that building and it isn’t gonna ever happen.
Your own Congress is turning against you. They actually voted to end the war with Iran. Your Republican lead Congress, Donnie. Also, your whole $5000 for each adult, Oprah Winfrey gimmick, is dying with Congress separating itself from that. Even worse, Donnie. Even freaking worse. Mike Johnson had to send everybody home because your own Congress was gonna vote to impeach Hegseth. So now nothing gets done until after election day. Amazing Donnie.
But it gets even worse. Your own handpicked, federal reserve chief raised interest rates yesterday. He raised them. This is after your threat that if the interest rates aren’t lowered, you’re gonna stop trading with countries. Now you’re trying to say face by saying the entire board is against you and you told your chief to raise interest rates. Like no one believes that.
And because I’m Canadian this last thing I really enjoyed Donnie. You are boiling and I mean boiling mad that Canada is making nice with the EU. You are even saying that you might consider this a hostile act and that you might consider stopping trade with the EU altogether. I think the last one is pushed you over the edge, Donnie. That rubber room is waiting for you, Donnie. Straitjacket time.

No Choice
More bad news for Pierre Poilievre (PP) and his ever decreasing number of supporters. Former conservative, Prime Minister Stephen Harper gave the closing remarks at the investment Summit in Toronto. Harper said that Canada had no choice, but to leave the negotiating table with the US with regard to the tariffs.
“This had to be a very difficult decision, but I do believe that our government had no choice but to take this path.”
Harper added that Canadian sovereignty was and is at stake.
“It is clear that the current U.S. administration views our level of economic integration as incompatible with our separate sovereignty. Thus to maintain that sovereignty, we must pursue diminished reliance on the United States.”
Harper also stated that Canada is making a good move seeking a stronger alliance with the EU.
This is simply more bad news for PP. Stephen Harper, by supporting Mark Carney will only strengthen Marc Carney’s approval ratings. In addition, the Alberta separatists cannot be too happy with this either. Stephen Harper is from the west after all.
It is a bad week, for conservatives and separatist all around actually. Kyle Campbell, an NDP candidate, won a by election in Calgary earlier this week. He won in a riding that had gone to the UCP in the last two elections.
Did I mention a bad week for conservatives. It is a similar bad week south of our border. Gas prices are now up to $4.40 a gallon. The Supreme Court shut down Donald Trump’s mail in ballot plans. Now the fed might increase interest rates rather than lower than which Trump so desperately wants. Meanwhile, the war in Iran continues
Back to our side of the border, PP and the conservatives will be getting together, today and tomorrow in Penticton BC, to try and get their act together. More conservative members are upset with the way the party is going. They are also split. Many want Canada to take a stronger stand against the US while others want closer ties. For PP he’s now faced in a situation where he’s trying to herd cats. Good luck on that one.

25th Amendment Time
In Canada, yesterday, Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada was holding an investment summit in Toronto, with a goal of attracting up to one trillion dollars in investments in Canada. Later this week he will be going to Europe and giving a speech in front of the EU with the goal of building greater trade relations between Canada and the EU
What was Donald Trump doing? See the map above. This is the leader of the world, I was going to try to say something witty. I can’t. I don’t know what he was trying to accomplish with this. I think he posted this one right after he posted the meme about him dumping Mark Carney onto the ice. If we did not have AI right now, he would probably be colouring in colouring books.
The US cabinet and vice president should have mercy on Trump and use the 25th amendment to put him out of his misery to prevent him from further embarrassment. He has totally lost his logical abilities if he had any to begin with. After all he did bankrupt a casino.
If you want further proof, look for a video of Laura Ingraham asking him why he doesn’t just send out $5000 to every American adult right now. If anyone and I mean, anyone can make sense of his answer all that means that you’re just as bonkers as he is.
