Remembrance Day is especially meaningful to me: I lived in PMQs on Canadian Forces bases as a kid.
At one base, my Dad wore a black plastic thing on a chain around his neck. He told me it was a device to measure radiation if an H bomb was dropped.
That made the hell of war more real to me.

I'm Canadian.
Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.
Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

Why would cabinet members need to meet with everyday common folk. If you can't fill a shopping bag with cash, you're no use to them.
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"
"Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

I'm not sure how the Democratic Party candidates won all the elections last night but I'm almost positive it had something to do with George Soros, Antifa, and fake news.

Trump's dementia antics like declaring war on Venezuela and Nigeria must be embarrassing for the tech bros and the Project 2025 guys. Do you think Trump will notice when they "Truman Show" him complete with fake Fox News broadcasts and replica gold leaf office?

Just one word to say to Cuomo: sunscreen!
I don’t live in NYC but this tells me Cuomo clearly doesn’t care about the city if he’s going to run away and pout because he loses. It’s like when Rauner was governor here in Illinois and then quickly fled to Florida after losing his reelection bid. He never cared about Illinois, just himself.
Andrew Cuomo says he will continue to not live in New York City if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor.

Maybe, just maybe. The 25 million criminals and mental hospital patients who came across the border during Biden's presidency were just the delusions of an old man. Maybe he was lying to fabricate a fake crisis.
