TACO Bully Outplayed
Donald, plain and simple, you are a bully used to getting your own way. Last year and a half, however, you have run into opponents who won’t back down. Your tariff wars really have backfired on you. It has made you turn TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) a few times, same thing with Greenland and now with Iran.
You’ve extended to ceasefire yet again. You’re using any excuse possible to explain you chickening out again, but no one buys it. Even worse, Iran is not buying into the ceasefire, at all, saying it is just a trick before a surprise attack. And even worse, as mud in your face, they seized a couple of ships this morning.
Donald, they are playing you so badly, and, you being a bully, you have no Plan B. You have no idea what to do next. Anything you do will be a lose lose.
Let’s say you attack Iran and try to get the uranium out. The uranium supplies are deep inside Iran.
It would be a weeks long process to safely get the uranium out. You would need thousands of troops to take over the various sites, and then defend the sites while the uranium is being safely taken out
Your blockade is not really doing anything given that Iran is blocking the Strait completely and some Iranian ships are still getting out
Public opinion is way against you. So you’re stuck Donald. Could not have happened to a better guy. The sad part is it’s not only you paying the price, but everyone who buys gas.
The irony of all this, too, is that the country you hate the most, China (though I guess Canada is pretty up there too since we don’t back down either) is least affected by this because of their growing green economy.
That’s all I have for today.

Long Game My Ass
This is what Press Secretary Karoline Nitwit (yes I know beneath my dignity, but still, I cannot help it) said about the current state of negotiations with Iran.
“Anyone who cannot see President Trump’s tactics to play the long game are either stupid or willfully ignorant.”
Karoline, do you actually know what’s coming out of your mouth at times? Do you have any idea what long game means? OK here’s a bit of a refresher.
Jimmy Carter spent over 400 days negotiating the release of the Iranian hostages back in 1980 and 81. The hostages were not released until the day. Ronald Reagan was inaugurated, as a slap in the face to Carter by the Iranian regime.
The deal that Barack Obama made with Iran took over two years to negotiate with the final document being 160 pages long. Trump keeps saying that this was a terrible deal. Did he even read the document? Did he even get past page one? Probably not.
So here we are, over eight weeks into this war which Trump predicted would be over, at most, after five or six weeks, and, Karoline, you are saying that Trump is playing a long game.
Do you know who is being played, Karoline? Trump is being played by the Iranians. Iran has been at this game for over 2800 years. They know how to play this game. They are in no rush to close a deal. Why should they? They have control of the Strait. With this two week ceasefire they’ve been able to build up their weapons capability. They know that if Trump starts bombing again, it will, in a sense, make him look weak. So they’re getting what they want.
Iran, to an extent, cost Jimmy Carter his job. Iran is doing the same thing to Trump, which will become evident in the midterm elections in November.
Karoline, you have no clue, neither does your boss.
That’s all after today.

The Lord Our Gun
America, just had its 114th mass shooting of the year, yesterday. This time it was eight kids, I will say that again, eight kids, shot down and massacred in Shreveport, Louisiana
The shooter was father of seven of the kids. The eighth was a cousin of the seven kids shot down. After a car chase, police shot the shooter dead.
The shooter had mental health issues. The shooter had two prior convictions one was illegal use of firearms. How the f#%k did this guy have access to guns to begin with?
Nothing will change. We knew that after Columbine. And if we had any doubts, Sandy Hook sealed that deal.
But in America, the gun is king. No one dare take away their guns. F#%k the kids, f#%k the sanctity of life for nothing can come before our Lord the gun.
America, you are sick. You are a sick freaking country and I would say you deserve what you get, I can’t because what that means is that more lives will be lost needlessly and nobody deserves that.
F#%k it.

Here We Go Again
Like, seriously, here we go again. It is like déjà vu all over again and again and again.
Iran announced late last week that the Strait of Hormuz would be open and stay open. The stock market jumped by 1000 points and the price of oil went down by 10% and all was good in the world. Further negotiations were set for Monday. So the world could breathe a sigh of relief.
But Donald Trump decided to keep the blockade on Iranian ports in place. To add bluster to his stupidity, he said that Iran had agreed to all of his negotiation points. Like the matador waving a red flag on a bull who is chilling. Well the bull saw the red flag and started charging. The Strait is again closed and Iran took pot shots at a couple of tankers. Given that this is a Sunday the markets won’t open until tomorrow, but anticipate a downturn and anticipate a sharp increase in the oil prices. Trump once again is threatening to obliterate Iran if they keep the Strait closed. We are into week eight of this now and nothing has changed. Things are getting worse for countries in Asia, where they are running out of oil and for countries in Europe, where they are only a couple weeks away from running out of jet fuel.
So this thing better be settled soon or the economic repercussions are gonna get worse than they already are.
I should’ve stuck to just watching the playoffs.

Playoffs Time
Back in 2001, Jim Mora, then coach of the Indianapolis Colts, after the Colts had lost a brutal game, was asked about his team‘s playoff chances. He responded with a memorable quote that you need to see.
“Playoffs? Don’t talk about—playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win a game! Another game!”
They did not make the playoffs that year and he got fired.
Today, for sports lovers, is the official start of both the NBA and the NHL playoffs. Well, the NBA did have play-in games, earlier this week, but that is neither here nor there.
For us Canadians, we have the Toronto Raptors to follow, we of the north, and we have three Canadian NHL team teams to follow of which one of them is my Edmonton Oilers.
So this is going to be a great weekend. Not only that, but here in Alberta, we’re actually going to have some nice spring days. Deck weather.
So it will be a nice break from what is happening in the world today, like the Strait of Hormuz again being shut down.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

Beware Of Lightning
It is rumoured that God has just ordered a bunch of lightning strikes from Amazon. He has also been doing some target practice.
In the past year, we have seen Donald Trump post an AI image of him as pope and of him as Jesus. We have seen Pete Hegseth quote fake Bible verses from the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’ as well as comparing the rescue of the American pilots shut down in Iran to the resurrection on Easter Sunday. We have also seen JD Vance telling the pope to stay in his lane.
Pope Leo has had enough of this garbage.
“I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused, as some are doing.”
But he did not stop there. He went a lot further.
“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
Pretty harsh words, directed at Trump and his administration.
I’m starting to give some credence to the possibility that Trump believes he can take on God, and his representative, on earth, and win. Back in the 1960s, John Lennon created a fire storm when he said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ. I think Trump has the same mindset now that he is more popular than God. If he continues along this path, it is not going to end well for him at all.
That’s all I have for today.

Swalwell
Predator, narcissist, adulterer, self-centered. No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. Well actually, those descriptions does fit Trump. But it is also applicable to Eric Swalwell.
Just a week ago, he was riding high. He was running for governor of California. In some circles, he was favoured to win. He had Nancy Pelosi backing him. He was a star in the House of Representatives. He had it all.
Now, he’s dropped out of the race for governor, and he has been forced to resign from Congress. All in a matter of a few days.
They say that power corrupts. Swalwell is a married father of three. Though how long he will remain married is between him and his wife. It is not the affairs that brought him down because affairs I guess are common in the seats of power, but it is the accusations of rape from multiple women. I know that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty, but it does not look good for Eric Swalwell.
It is just a bloody shame, all the way around. A career ruined, hearts, broken, and possibly even jail time in play. It is also a bloody shame that the ‘ grab em by the pussy’ guy remains in power. The entire thing is sad.
That’s all I have for today.

With A Friend Like This
Donald, do you remember the good times, when leaders and countries would fall over themselves complimenting you, praising you, trying to get into your good graces? I guess those days are done aren’t they Donald? You did this to yourself.
NATO is just shunning you on this whole Iran thing. You started this without consulting them and now they are taking the approach, ‘ you started this it is your mess to fix’
This is what happens when you keep insulting people. You went after the Pope and now the Italian leader, a right winger, like yourself, with 40 million Catholics in her country had to defend him and go against you. How did you respond to that?
“I’m shocked by her. I thought she had courage. I was wrong. She is the one who is unacceptable, because she does not care whether Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow Italy up in two minutes if it had the chance.”
You were best buddies with Hungarian right wing leader, Viktor Orban. He had an election a couple days ago. You even sent JD Vance over there to prop up his election bid. He lost terribly. Mainly because of you.
Pierre Poilievre, the conservative leader, here, in Canada, had a 20 point lead three months away from our own election last April. Then you went nuts on the tariff thing. He didn’t bother attacking you. Mark Carney, the liberal leader, did. Now, Mark Carney has a majority government in Canada
You’re just bad news, Donald. Even your own apologists, in your own country, such as Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones are abandoning you. Megyn Kelly, she of the bleeding orifices put it bluntly. ‘ she is sick of your shit.’
Donald, you’re not gonna change we know that. But the rest of the world is. They’re sick and tired of putting up with your crap and they’re not gonna take it anymore.
That’s all I have for today.

Pierre, Stay Or Go
Pierre, buddy, time to call it a day. It was just 15 months ago, that your party had a 20 point lead in the polls. You were three months away from a overwhelming election majority. Then Donald Trump came in and it all went to crap.
Him and his stupid tariffs, huh Pierre? You even had Daniel Smith go down and ask Donald to hold off on the tariffs until after the election and Trump did not.
Yesterday, three terrible losses. In one Toronto riding your party skirted around 25% of the vote. In the other Toronto riding it was under 20%. In the Quebec riding, it was far worse, not even 5%
You did not help yourself after the results came out. Nope you came out whining.
“The Carney Liberals did not win a majority government through a general election or today’s by-elections. Instead, it was won through backroom deals with politicians who betrayed the people who voted for them.”
Come on Pierre, you sounded like a sore whining loser. Not a good look at all for you.
To make it even worse, Pierre, Mark Carney announced this morning that he is suspending the federal excise tax on gas, for the next five months, which will result of a price reduction of $.10 per litre, at the pumps.
I guess your only saving grace is that there’s no one really in the wings to take your place. But still, your party is a mess right now and a lot of it is on you.
That’s all I have for today.

Of Course
Waking up early Monday morning, wondering what fresh hell awaits. Trump’s blockade starts in a couple of hours. Eric Swalwell is giving up his run for governor of California. Democrats are tough on their own, not like MAGA.
Then I see the image above. Please let it be a parody account. In all that is holy, let it be a parody account. But, no, Donald Trump did post this.
It seems that he is now at war with Pope Leo. He is at war with the head of the Catholic Church. At war with the head of billions of Catholics around the world and 53 million Catholics in the US , including his current wife, Melania, JD, Vance, and Marco Rubio
“We don’t like a pope that’s going to say that it’s OK to have a nuclear weapon. … He’s a man that doesn’t think that we should be toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon so they can blow up the world. I’m not a fan of Pope Leo.”
The problem for Donald is that this pope, this American pope, is no shrieking violet. Leo struck back.
“I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the church is here to do.”
The pope also struck back at Pete Hegseth who is claiming, in his press conferences, that God supports this war on Iran
“Jesus is the king of peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war but rejects them.”
Well, Donald, you have pissed off the Muslims and now the Catholics. I would not be surprised if a Jehovah’s Witness comes to your door, asking if you are happy with the current government.
That’s all I have for today.
