Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Um, we do live in a constitutional monarchy, and when the linchpin family is at risk in terms of public trust and support, it’s perfectly appropriate for our elected leaders to
comment, especially when the country they lead has a say in the issue (royal succession).

The frequent stupidity of @theglobeandmail.com’s columnists is a wonder to behold: here we have Ms Urback lamenting the fact that Prime Minister Carney, having signed trade deals with China and India, didn’t immediately denounce those nations to the world as β€œunreliable partners”.

Regrettably, Mr. Coyne provides a strikingly uncritical review of piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s desperate and late-breaking attempt to be seen as β€˜statesmanlike’.
He might have queried such things as sincerity and authenticity.

Let's see, the U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in
February, oil is above $90 a barrel, the
President is spending approximately $1 billion a day on a war that the majority of
Americans oppose, and the national
debt is $39 trillion, the highest ever.
America's golden age.

Carney calls for Mountbatten-Windsor’s removal from line of succession PM Carney said the actions that have caused Andrew to be stripped of his royal titles "necessitate" his removal from the line of succession.

Donald Trump warns college sports crisis could β€˜destroy’ US universities Donald Trump says he may issue a sweeping order on NIL payments as lawmakers and sports leaders debate anti-trust protections and new revenue models

Hilarious to see the supposedly advanced civilization that is Nazi America stuck with a higher education system consisting essentially of professional sports teams with professors assigned to the basement.

As this piece in the @nytimes.com tells us, the cold hard facts prove once again the moral bankruptcy of MAGA America: Republican incumbent forced out of primary by sex scandal, allowing demonstrable Nazi who loves Mein Kampf to win the GOP nomination in a Texas congressional race.

To whom does πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈAmerica assign greater value: the 12 servicemen who signed up and died in the war against Iran, or the 100’s of civilians, including over 100 schoolgirls, bombed to death over there?

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

@theglobeandmail.com’s house Conservative Mr. Clark (who’s written many a dog’s breakfast of a column himself) is evidently unaware of how central bankers speak.
Studied ambiguity is part of their stock in trade. Useful in politics and diplomacy as well.

Canada and Australia have vast deposits of critical minerals. We’re going to work together to build up our production, processing, and refining capacity β€” for stronger, more resilient supply chains.

Petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s fatuous claims about Magna Carta come straight out of rightwing πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈAmerica’s ahistorical playbook.
The great charter is now recognized by most historians as a deal forced by feudal barons on weak kings, having nothing to do with rights for commoners.
