All those people in the U.S. who, for decades, have hoarded their guns as a constitution- and God-given right in case the government came after its citizens… Hello? You awake?

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

You can't just wait for the pendulum to swing back and forth; sometimes you need to give it a good hard, violent push.

. The resistance to women like AOC becoming president has nothing to do with policy. It’s about power, and who we’ve been conditioned to believe deserves to hold it. Let’s challenge that. Loudly. .

I’m done talking to conservatives. They can’t see what they can’t see. From now on, I’m talking over them, around them, and through them. It’s all that’s left.

Where’s the coverage on mainstream? What good is 24-hour “news” if you won’t cover actual news when it happens—and it’s happening all day. That’s literally why CNN, MSNBC, and CBC Newsworld were created. And yet they capitulate to despotism.

Dear CTV: Go fuck yourself. We literally "don't have the bandwidth" to deal with you right now. Go find yourself another country to corrupt. Oh, wait. Forget I said that.

And if Trump's gotcha is gonna be, "I DIDNT PUT MY BIGLY HAND ON THE BIBLE!!!", we might take that as an admission that he hasn't actually been sworn in as POTUS. Can't have it both ways.

That about sums it up. Trump doesn't respect "yes" or especially, "yes, please." But he does respect "Fuck off" and indifference. He craves power. Granted, earning his respect is an icky feeling. Who needs it? But it gets the job done. So, yeah, fuck off, Trump.

One of the big problems is that some of us keep confusing moral philosophy for mere politics. And by "some of us" I mean mostly conservatives.

I'm not American, but this list rings true. Here in Canada, our list is growing, but it begins and ends with supporters of Pierre Pollievre. Let's hope there is no destruction of our country. Till then, you see something, you say something.

Couple of years ago, the Frye Fest asked me to design and offer a "masterclass". Since then, I've taught this one all over the world, and now I'm bringing it back home for the first time. My very first workshop back in St. John's since forever. Looking forward to it. Register: www.gerardcollins.ca

In the United States of America, treason is punishable by death. Impeachment and/or imprisonment would be a compromise.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Being worried that a bunch of progressives are gonna steal your country and guarantee healthcare, social security, a higher minimum wage, and funding for the arts is like being afraid someone's going to break into your house and leave you a box of prescription drugs, a bag of money, and a new TV.

This brought us to tears this morning. It's good to see Canada has friends in the U.S. This insanity has to be stopped. It won't stop on its own.

How about you get a leader with courage who will announce in a clear, confident manner to Americans: "These programs aren't shut down for good; they are merely paused until we get a non-fascist adult back in the White House and/or we win the next election. Whichever comes first."
