Sanna Marin
This is Sanna Marin. She is a beauty. Wow. That is sexist. That is my point as you will see. She is the Prime Minister of Finland. She is 36 years old. She became Prime Minister at 34. After her parents seperated, when Sanna was very young, she was raised by her mother and her…

And on the Federal Side?
Yesterday’s chirp covered how Doug Ford won a large majority in the last Ontario provincial election, where under 18% of total eligible voters voted for Ford’s Progressive Conservative Party. Then again, only 43.5% of eligible voters actually voted. Let’s look at the last Canadian federal election, held in September 2021. The Liberal Party won 160…

How Did It Happen?
As you know I kind of lean left, politically, (kind of) so if I see political chatter on twitter, it is mostly left based and I have seen a lot of disparaging remarks about Doug Ford. Being out west, I have not followed Ontario politics as much as I could. I do know that Ford…

Mainstream Extremism
The much ballyhooed Inflation Reduction Act, includes $80 billion for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to increase staffing levels up to desired levels and to increase enforcement levels to collect unpaid taxes from wealthy Americans.. This includes the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents by 2031. Republicans have gone nuts, with mainstream Republicans making claims…

Flip Side of Coin
A follow up chirp on Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney could become prersident some day. If she wins the presidency, a lot of the support could be from the left. Liberals, who love her now, could come to regret having her as president, given her ultra conservative policies. However, she deserves a ton of credit for…

Cheney won her 2020 congressional election with 73% of the vote. Wyoming itself is as red a state as one can have. The state has voted red for presidential, senate and congressional…

Of course. Aspiring House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, when asked about leaders needing to tone down the rhetoric…

Lies Upon Lies 2
Ok. I guess the Mar-a-lago documents are still the top story. This will be a short follow up of the lies Trump has used relating to thes documents, over the past 7 day. DOJ could have just asked for the documents. We would have given them. DOJ did ask. They issued a subpoena for the…

Lies Upon Lies
The more Trump lies, the deeper into the doodoo he gets. Two examples here. First is a letter sent by a Trump lawyer, in June, following a meeting at Mar-a-lago, where 15 boxes of documents were retrieved. The letter stated that there were no more classified documents at Mar-a-lago. Last Monday’s search showed that letter…

His Lies are Killing
What a way to end a week having to chirp about this crappy subject. Right off the top of my head, I go back to his big lie before the “Big Lie”, saying the Mueller Report totally exonerated him. LIAR!! Did not. There was evidence of obstruction of justice. Mueller recognized that a sitting president…
