BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

Holy smokes. I hope this was at the start of the dive. There'd have been some deep and rapid inhales.

Mike Myers was the first entertainer to speak out earlier this year. We love his national pride 🇨🇦

Something to bookmark: Potash is essential for modern agriculture. **Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*. {gift link}

China dominates global titanium production, leaving the U.S. far behind and dependent on imports. To compete, securing Canada’s and Ukraine’s titanium reserves isn’t just strategy—it’s survival.

Well, well, well... the troll who crashed the peaceful protest for Ukraine outside the Russian embassy the other day is a fan boy of Pierre Poilievre. No surprise there. Poilievre and the Conservatives voted against the military aid for Ukraine.

he's really so stupid and I can't stand it. if you warmed up mars and melted the water, the water would evaporate into space. Mars can't have a habitable atmosphere in its current state bc it has no magnetic field. solar winds strip away everything that isn't stuck to the surface.

Seeing Zelenskyy before the war feels like watching something from another universe Sharing someone’s well put video. “Dictator”.. rrrright.

A reporter who's dating a woman in Congress who looks like a Neanderthal takes issues with a man who isn't wearing a suit while fluffing for the two men wearing makeup in the Oval Office. Clown. Show.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Why don’t you wear a suit?

Five former defense secretaries denounced Trump's firing of the Joint Chiefs chairman & several other senior military officials, urging Congress to hold hearings & have concluded the officers were fired for purely partisan reasons.

I miss the days when billionaire vanity projects were, like, commissioning nude sculptures and buying sports teams… instead buying every means of communication we can think of

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Nazi symbology is not just historical imagery—it’s a declaration of hate, violence, and genocide. Every time it’s brushed off, it inches closer to normalization. We must call it out with clarity and conviction. No timidity. No hedging. No excuses. thehill.com/policy/inter...

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.
