    Omnibus Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell

    Trump has faced persistent scrutiny for his handling of sensitive federal records tied to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who “died by suicide” in jail in 2019.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    During the course of his second term in office, Trump has often threatened and imposed tariffs on other countries over their ties with U.S. adversaries and over trade policies that he has described as unfair to Washington. Tariffs are paid by U.S. importers of goods from those countries...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Ahhhh…so if Zelenskyy or Khamenei come out of this with their heads still on their shoulders, but not in control of their countries…then these were options too? Bloodless options even?

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    So it’s bloodless as long as Maduro himself didn’t bleed? So if Iran’s current leader deposed without being hung from a streetlight or otherwise disposed of, then that’s a bloodless regime change? If Ukraine’s current president is deposed without being….bloodied(?)….then the Russian special...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    …& America might want to look at which country is its biggest export market for the automotive industry…& what that’s worth in USD. That too can change much like Canadian booze preferences, just not as quickly. Anyway, Donald Trump appeared to blank on a vow he previously made to Americans...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    U.S. President Donald Trump visited a Ford factory in Dearborn, Mich., Tuesday and dismissed the relevance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying the U.S. doesn’t need the trade deal and that “Canada would love it.” (?) “The problem is we don’t need their product. We don’t need cars made...

    Kelly McParland: How decades of Liberal indifference created Danielle Smith

    Mark Carney’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta superficially promises to approve a pipeline, but puts so many environmental restrictions on any such project, and defers far too much to anti-energy B.C., that it is just another case of the Liberals replacing the judgment of private...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Lots of news stories about the demand & rejection (of any deal forced by Trump) of Trumps “deal” without any details of what deal Trump wants. I can (as can we all) speculate as to what that is, from a nation about 100 miles from Mar-a-Lago…but…
