No, seriously. The President of the United States is a pouting infant, a malignant, mentally unstable narcissist yelling at another country that he will go to war if he isn't given a peace prize.
And we all know this isn't yet bottom.

Time for the sane world to start selling US Treasury bonds. Perhaps Schumer, Thune, Jeffries, Scalise and Johnson will stop begging for donations and do their jobs.

Trivia time: Can you name 5 musicians or bands from Canada and their best songs.
No judgement here, everyone has a say. Music is universal, we all have different tastes in music. Maybe you will find some new music to enjoy as well. 🍁

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

And the fact that Washington prefers not to notice the mass shelling of Ukraine during the peace talks is on its conscience.

At home in Kyiv. At night, the Russians fired ballistic missiles and drones exploded. In the morning, the heating went out again. But home, my sweet home, I'm so happy to return back 💙💛

Those were quite challenging days in Davos. But there was also a pleasant moment when I received the World Woman Hero award. Every year, the World Woman Foundation honors a woman who demonstrates leadership, strength and has a significant impact on the lives of women and girls in different countries
