All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

Everything in this is a lie. And easily reported on hmmm by any credible news station.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Trump's bonkers US-Canada bridge tantrum: "There's a valid concern on the part of the president that this bridge was allowed to be built, they didn't necessarily use American content. There's a question as to the proceeds of tolls."

Yes. Canada does not "own" it.
This is simply corruption related to the existing bridge being privately owned and the family that owns it being Trump donors (and general pieces of shit)

Not only did Canada pay for the whole bridge, Michigan gets half control of it anyway. The U.S. ALREADY HAS what Trump is demanding.

Wonderful. Gotta say I called this one.
Canada built the bridge with Canadian tax dollars. We don't "own" it. We get the tolls until we are even.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...
