No biggie. It’s just the Secretary of the Treasury agreeing with the Chinese government that the President of the United States is brazenly lying about trade talks.

The stupidity of Donald Trump’s trade policies is shocking. Mexico and Canada are our neighbors and our closest trade partners. His administration negotiated the last trade deal with them. He is deliberately harming our allies, our economy and is going to increase inflation for our country.

Delusional. Deranged. Dangerous.
RFK Jr: "It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity."

Must watch war speech by Justin Trudeau.

Few outside of Canada understand our combination of civility, empathy and steel in our spine - this speech explains all that.

Not a foul word spoken. Not one inch of retreat.

Long Live Canada
Vive Le Canada

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Welcome to affirmative action for incompetent, morally bankrupt, sexually-assaulting ass-kissers. While distracting you with the sexist/racist lie that DEI has anything to do with lowering standards. And pretending to be Christian while desecrating the values of Jesus by spewing hatred and division.

There is no one in greater danger than an unwanted child.

‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas.
Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care.
