And there is no “acing” the test. There’s failing and not failing. Trump managed not to fail the dementia test. Bravo, Yambo!

Memo to Mark: yes. That’s one major prong on your strategy. I hope to heck you aim at building trade relationships and agreements with the expanding list of BRIC countries, and not only India and China.
Southeast Asia is a rapidly growing, $5 trillion economy.
Canada is working to finalise a new Canada-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement — a partnership that would create huge opportunities for workers and businesses on both sides of the Pacific.

Oh yeah, the Altruist-in-Chief… 🤮
How many kids did his cancelling of foreign aid from USAID kill? They were actually dying. Millions in desperate need. And $40 billion would have covered its entire budget.

My head is imploding as it becomes painfully clear that PM #Carney is over his head in plugging the holes in #Canada ‘s sinking #economy. The #EV industry is a disaster. #Premiers squabbling. #Trump is slowly devouring us. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Stellantis decision to keep an Ontario factory shuttered underscores that Ottawa should rethink its floundering attempt to create a subsidized electric-vehicle industry

As much as CBS News needs a major redo to increase its relevance to Americans Bari Weiss is NOT the person to lead the organization. She may have the hip appeal needed to attract Gen Z, and the now au courant anti-woke slant, but she lacks managerial experience AND is in bed with the BIg Tech bros.
