DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

Regarding the reaction of American hockey players to Canadians booing the anthem: It does and always will remain true that, if you want an uneducated opinion on anything other than hockey, one of the best things you can do is ask a hockey player. So no point being angry at or disappointed in them.

the only way to save civilization is to make the government stop the investigations into my company and start giving it a bunch of money instead

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Facebook ended fact-checking, and made a platform with three billion users all the more of a vector for bad information. It's part of an attempt to rewire the modern information system until we don't think anything is true at all. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
