Canada To The Rescue
This is the CBC morning news.
The Canadian government, following high-level meetings with our NATO partners, have announced the following steps, in response to the chaos inflicted by Donald Trump in the United States
Canada will send a peacekeeping force to various portions of the US, including Idaho, Utah and the eastern portions of Washington and Oregon to help quell uprisings by far right militia extremists.
Canada will take part in the monitoring process of the midterm election coming up in November in the United States. Canada will ensure the integrity of the election process, which was thrown into disarray by Donald Trump.
Canada, along with all its NATO partners has decided not to allow Donald Trump in their countries while he awaits trial. It is reported that Vladimir Putin decided not to have Trump in his country. Putin supposedly said. ‘ I have enough troubles already. I don’t need this blow hard in my country.’. It is said that Iran has offered to take Trump into custody until the trial is held. Iran has also volunteered to host the trial.
Donald Trump currently is in an unknown location. He is reported to have said. ‘ why should a stable genius like myself be held in a shit hole country. I passed all my tests. They showed me five animals, and I correctly named all of them, except for the last one.’
This is all we have on the situation for now. We will keep you updated as more news comes out.

American Intelligence?
This is what Toronto looked like yesterday. This scene was repeated in a number of US northern cities, such as Chicago, Boston, Detroit, and New York City. The fires have destroyed some communities in Northwestern Ontario. Passenger train transportation between Winnipeg and Toronto have been cancelled for the time being. Roads have been closed. So far, thankfully there have been no fatalities.
If you go on the Facebook pages, you will see a remarkable amount of American vitriol, directed at Canada. Comments such as do something about this or else. What does the or else means? You mean you’re gonna invade our country. Try it. Have you ever messed around with the Canada goose. Try it and you know what you will be in for if you try to mess with us.
OK, my last few sentences sound a bit over the top. But that’s nowhere close to over the top compared to the comments being seen on Facebook. One ignoramus denied that it was climate change because climate change has been debunked. Really? What guy in the basement living with his mom are you listening to? Idiots.
But just when you thought that American intelligence could go no lower there was some hope last night. Donald Trump gave his address to the nation with the topic being his lies about the 2020 election. NBC did not carry it. ABC did not carry it. CBS carried a bit of it. CNN and MS NOW carriedsnippets of it. That left FOX. Of course FOX. Of course, the audience on that channel are the ones sending the hateful Facebook posts to Canada. Coincidence? I think not. I did not watch thespeech, but apparently Donald Trump was very angry at the networks because they were not carrying his speech. Poor Donnie.
That’s all I have for today.

Too Much
There are a number of days that I wake up, expecting to see WTF headlines about Trump, and I’m not disappointed. There are some days though that I just wake up sick of heart and think that it’s gone too far and it’s never coming back. Donald Trump will be addressing the US nation tonight. I never thought I’d see the day where a president would address the nation about conspiracy theories, and his belief in them. He will talk about election fraud how the fraud caused him to lose 2020 election. He is going to attack the US election system. He is going to put democracy in doubt.
In the last couple of days, Donald Trump has overturned the ICE to not have any traffic stops after two apparently innocent people were shot and killed one in Maine and one in Texas.
Senator Jon Ossoff, of Georgia, stated a couple of days ago that most Republican senators believe that Donald Trump has lost it and will bring down the Republican party in the midterms. However, these Republican senators might be wrong because Trump is doing everything possible to pervert the legitimacy of the midterm elections coming up as evidenced by tonight’s upcoming address
Trump accused Democrats of weaponizing and politicizing the Department of justice when Joe Biden was president. Trump is doing it far worse as evidenced yesterday by Todd Blanche’s responses in his confirmation hearing yesterday. He actually made a Freudian slip by accidentally stating that he is Trump’s lawyer before saying that he was Trump’s lawyer.
I think a reason for my depression is that I had just finished a book by Len Deighton a spy novelist, entitled Winter. Part of the story in the book covered the rise of Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany. I could not help but see the striking similarities of what occurred back then and what is occurring now in the US.
It would be nice if the Major networks tonight did not carry Trump‘s address. But of course they will because news is news.
That’s all I really have to say for today.

Money Can’t Buy You Love
This is a picture of Pierre Poilievre, back in 2023, when the world was his oyster. He was expected to be the next Prime Minister. He had everything going for him. Relying on sayings such as ‘ax the tax’ and ‘ Canada is broken’ he thought he had it made
As late as December 2024, he had a 20 point lead and his conservatives were well on their way to a majority. The election was only four months away. What could go wrong?
Well, a smile upside down is a frown. Pierre not only lost the election. He lost his own seat.
More news came out today that adds to Pierre’s humiliation. According to elections Canada, the conservative raised a record $48.4 million during the campaign. The liberals only raised $29.6 million. Furthermore, the conservatives spent $99 million during the election campaign. The liberals spent barely half of that amount at $55 million.
This is somewhat stunning. Four months before the election the conservative had a 20 point lead. The conservative almost doubled the amount liberals raised, and almost doubled the amount spent. Yet they lost.
This is a telling indication of how badly managed the conservative campaign was and how off message Pierre Poilievre was. If Pierre is still around for the 2029 election campaign, it could end up in a strong Liberal majority government.
That’s all I have for today.

JUST ONE DAY
This is how much of a circus America has become under Trump. All the things mention below happened in just one day. Before Trump, each one of these events would’ve been headline news. Now hardly a ripple.
Conspiracy theorist and mainstream Republicans are questioning what is happening with Mitch McConnell and with the death of Lindsey Graham. Republicans are requesting a toxicology report on Lindsey Graham‘s body in the concern that he was assassinated, possibly by the Russians.
Republicans, such as Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsinare are saying that the picture Mitch McConnell with his wife was not taken recently. So the question remains what is going on with Mitch McConnell.
The administration has been saying that the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and tolls should never ever be used. Marco Rubio stated this repeatedly as recently as last month. Now Trump wants a 20% guardian of the strait toll.
ICE killed another person, this time in Maine. The department of homeland security is stating that shots were fired after the target was creating a risk to the public. It turns out that the person they killed was not the person they were going after. Rather it was an innocent civilian caught in the wrong place in the wrong time.
If that’s not enough a judge has overturned Trump’s $1.8 billion fund for people supposedly wronged by the Biden administration. This would include the January 6 insurrectionist. The judge said that the fund was a complete travesty of the justice system.
All this in one day.
That’s all I have for today.

At The Pearly Gates
“Lindsey, this is a surprise”
“Well, John, in all honesty I’m a bit surprised too. I just came back from Ukraine. Figured I’d have a nice relaxing evening and here I am.”
“So, John, do you think you can put a good word in with the big guy here? Maybe after I get in we could do a couple rounds of golf.”
“Well, Lindsey, in all honesty I think you’re gonna have to do some time in purgatory. You had a good run up until I passed. You remember back in 2015 when you were running for president and you called Trump a few nasty things. Things were looking good for you but then why the heck, I have to say heck because I can’t say the other word, did you go for Trump? Why Lindsey I just don’t understand?”
“Well, you know me, John, I always went with the front runner. Call it insanity or whatever. OK I guess I can handle a bit of time down in purgatory. But can you put a good word in for me anyway?”
“By the way, John, have you seen Mitch around here lately?“
“ Lindsey, the big guy doesn’t tell me everything so I don’t know if he’s up here or not yet. I do know he’s gonna be doing a hard time in the lower levels of purgatory. He could’ve had that demon Trump impeached after the whole January 6 thing but he didn’t. Oh, one more thing. It’s not the big guy. God is a She so now you can understand why She is not too pleased with Trump.”
“Oh. I guess Donald is gonna be in a bit of trouble once he comes here.”
“You don’t know the half of it, Lindsey.”
Wishing you all a heavenly day.

Typical Trump Day
Donald, I would like to say that you outdid yourself today, but I can’t because this is just another day for you. First of all, you refuse to sign the housing bill. This bill had huge bipartisan support. Your Republican party could have done a victory dance with you signing this bill. But Donald, you have your own agenda, don’t you? You’re the one after all who said you did not care about the financial situation of Americans
Then, of course there is the $400 million gift airplane that you got from Qatar. You know the one that cost millions to bring it up to standard to be your own Air Force One. You know the one that you’re gonna keep after you leave the presidency. Well, I guess it was not up to snuff after all wasn’t it Donald. You had to fly back from the NATO meeting on your old Air Force One because the new one still did not meet required security standards. That was pretty embarrassing, wasn’t it Donald? And then you subpoenaed four New York Times reporters, for reporting the security issues. That’s pretty pathetic even for you Donald like an angry little baby.
But you hadn’t finished yet had you Donald? You fired the election assistance commission members. This commission helps pave the way for state officials to run smooth elections. But you can’t have that, can you Donald? You want full-blown chaos in the midterms don’t you Donald?
But to top it off, you set up an environment, where a judge had to dismiss charges against the proud boys for what they did on January 6.
This was the judge’s own words
“President Trump’s views about the prosecution of those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6—whether those views are based on fact or fiction—are well known, as is his intention to extend clemency to them through the Executive Order.”
That makes me sick to my stomach. Donald really does. You have pardoned all the rioters who inflicted damage on the Capitol and on America that day. At the same time, you are going after people who you falsely claim damaged, the reflecting pool.
Another typical day
That’s all I can stomach for today.

Oh Where Can They Be
Have you seen these two? The first is former Senate leader and still current senator from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell. The second is current supreme leader of Iran,Mojtaba Khamenei
McConnell has been missing since June, when he was taken away by ambulance from his residence. Khamenei has been missing since the March attack, on Iran, which killed his father, the former supreme leader of Iran. He even missed his father‘s days long funeral this week.
So where can they be? Have they both gone to the great beyond, Mitch partying with his Kentuckians and Khamenei with his 72 virgins. Or is there something more sinister at play?
Is it possible that the two of them have gotten together and are working on a deal to end Trump‘s mistake in Iran. Could it be?
Nobody knows for sure. But when information comes out, it will be immediately chirped in here, or maybe not.
That’s all I have for today.

Platner’’s Putz
This is Graham Platner. Up until last night, he was the democrat candidate for Senator in Maine. He dropped out of the race last night, following accusations by women of sexual misconduct, including one woman who said he raped her while intoxicated. He did not go quietly.
“It’s not the false allegations though that have brought us to where we are. It’s the fact that they are being used by the political establishment to put structural pressure on us. We live in a political system that is not built for normal people. It is a system built structurally to make sure that movements like ours cannot flourish.”
Platner has been a controversial candidate from the start of his campaign to represent the Democrats. This includes a tattoo, which supposedly has Nazi overtones. The Democrats desperately want a candidate from Maine to win in November given that they think they have a good chance to defeat the incumbent, republican, Susan Collins.
The Democrats are facing the same hard left wave of candidates that the Republicans faced in 2010 with the hard right tea party candidates. Establishment Democrats are facing and have faced, tough primary fights from candidates further to the left. What this will mean is an even further divided Congress with little chance of any compromise at all.
Platner dropping out due to women making allegations is kind of ironic. I have been told that these women making the accusations have sounded credible. As such, Platner had to drop out. The irony is that Karen McDougal, the longtime mistress of Donald Trump, and Stormy Daniels also sounded credible. Yet, Donald Trump is still president. Meanwhile, Christine Blasey Ford also sounded credible, yet Brett Cavanagh is a Supreme Court judge.
That’s all I have for today.

So I don't have to put it on Facebook anymore….
