Torn
As I chirp this, on Monday morning, the Dow Jones has gone down another few hundred points. It is trying to recover from an opening where it was down about 1000. It will most likely be wildly swinging up and down all day and most likely closing down again. Last Thursday, and Friday the total…

RECESSION?!!
The person above is Jim Mora. Many years ago he was the coach of the New Orleans Saints. After a Saints loss, in the post game interview, Maura was asked about the Saint’s chances of making the playoffs. His response was classic. You have to see the interview because the words in themselves do not…

Trump Seals The Deal
Have you heard of Heard Island? Probably no one has except for maybe some Australians, until yesterday. It is an island way down south of Australia, meaning, just a bit north of the Antarctic. Well, Heard Island was one of the territories hit by Trump’s tariffs, yesterday. Thing is, the only inhabitants of this territory…

Day To Remember
Donald Trump should’ve done his tariff announcement on April 1 instead of April 2. It would have been much more appropriate for him to do this on April Fools’ Day. The first day, let me rephrase that, the first morning after the Dow is down 1200 points and plummeting downwards. The above chart shows that…

Donald Trump, during an interview was questioned about the fact that tariffs would dramatically increase the costs of purchasing an automobile. This is how he responded. “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their…

Only Two Months
Believe it or not, Donald Trump’s presidency is not even two months old yet. It has felt like two decades. In the last 24 hours alone, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum against the entire world. The entire world has retaliated by imposing tariffs on the US. The EU imposed a 50% tariff…

Dow Down
As I chirp this, the Dow Jones has gone down to another 300 points this morning. This follows losses of 900 and 500 points, the previous two days. Today’s plunge is due to Donald Trump (aka Krasnov) initiating 25% tariffs, worldwide, on steel and aluminum products coming into the US. Canada and the EU have…

Tariff Mess
Presidents Trump and Musk have taken a scythe in cutting down the number of US federal employees. This includes cuts to the FAA where they are having trouble getting the required number of air traffic controllers. How safe do you feel flying in or to the US these days? Another area where I’m sure they’re…

Cross Border
There was an American style pub shooting in Toronto last night. Three men came into a pub and started shooting. Miraculously, no one was killed although there was 12 people injured and there was blood everywhere. The incident is still under investigation. It might be related to a vicious tow truck war that’s going on…

Fed Up
Donald, we know you love being the centre of attention. That’s because you have such a massive inferiority complex. But we’re fed up with your shenanigans. We are not going to take it anymore. So now you are reaping what you have sown. You started off with this tariff lunacy back in February. Then you…
