The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance.
It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media.
It is about the very soul of America.
They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny.
The world is watching.

As you can see here,
1. Most of the lake area is still unfrozen as of this week.
2. This is a low ice year; but not record low.
3. Lake ice is highly variable from year to year.
4. However, since 1995 there have been 8 years at or below 20% coverage -- and none before that!

Many areas are seeing record snowfall this winter, thanks to global warming--or rather, global weirding!
How so?
It hasn't been cold enough for lakes other than Erie to completely ice over yet. As cold air sweeps across them, it's picking up moisture and dumping massive snowfall on the other side.

I thank the Prime Minister for his powerful statement in response to the thuggish attacks by Trump.
We are unified as a nation. Our American cousins are divided.

I find the "cars=freedom" thing so funny because the history is actually very clear that the advent of mass motorism substantially weakened privacy rights and empowered the police.
Contemporary policing relies on roadside stops for a reason, the threshold for warrantless searches is much lower!

no surprise seeing NRO take a stand against property rights because they have no real ideology other than reflexive opposition to anything coded as liberal. the image says everything. if libs want to make it easier to build homes then obviously it must be opposed. a child’s worldviews.
