If Democrats take over the House and Senate, it’s possible the 25th amendment could be invoked in January. Thiel’s comments about Iran could be a foreshadowing of that. Buckle up for a rough few months coming up.

Trump asking Xi if China wanted to buy US weapons is tantamount to asking whether bleach could be swallowed to cure COVID.

Canadians will have to decide how much pain can be endured in the short term, to keep our sovereignty. The Ukrainians are paying in blood not just treasure. Don’t be naive. Even with an agreement, MAGA wants to rule the western hemisphere.

Lutnick, Bessent, Duffy et al remind me of Sean Spicer trying to report that Trump had the largest turn out for his first inauguration even though there were photos showing that this was not the case. How can these people look at themselves in the mirror?

Full court press against Canada this week. So that’s the plan?

From Hamilton. Trumo is acting like he is running out of time.

I am undecided whether Rutte is being the good cop to the other leaders being the bad cop or he is genuinely enthralled with Trump. After all the US reaffirmed Article 5 and signed onto the communique. Despite the blah blah blah NATO is still a viable entity for now. Is Rutte buying time?

I am nearly same age as Trump. Yes, he has health issues for his age and life style but I don’t think he is dying. I also don’t think he has dementia. Yes he misspeaks a lot but that is laziness and his penchant for BS. And he is so self serving.

Vance will age quickly in the next few months. Take “before” photo today.

Good Talk today was excellent!

Worried about the King and Queen

It’s all so tiresome. I haven’t even bothered putting on the tv.

Box cutters changed the world. Are drones the new box cutters? F35s didn’t bring the quick victory in Iran.

So Pakistan is offering an off ramp. He will take it out of “respect” for Pakistan.

So depressing to know that after Trump, who is unlikely to finish his term, that yet another completely unqualified person, Vance, will be POTUS. The Americans who did not vote in 2024 have most of the blame.

Although trump seems to have some health issues, I don’t believe he is dying from any of those issues. They are being managed ok.

Canada should not join the EU. It’s too complicated. But Canada should forge any kind of association, partnership, trade, MOU etc that it can possibly get short of joining.

Just saw on CNN that says he should be involved in choosing next leader of Iran. OMG

Is it because there is no military draft that there haven’t been large scale anti war demonstrations like those against the Vietnam War. What is going on in escalation was predicted yet the top echelon of US military and executive branch let this happen? Dereliction of duty.

The only way this Iran caper succeeds from the west’s point of view is if there is a strong opposition ready to govern in Iran. Military taking over doesn’t do it

Would like to see a report about the people being picked up by ICE. Most of the ones that I have read about have some kind of documentation. So how many real illegals have been picked up. People here who may have sneaked in or smuggled in?

A sore winner is far worse than a sore loser! Grow up.

Everyone dislikes a poor loser. A poor winner is much worse!

All Governors should boycott Trump’s dinner and have an alternative dinner.

NYT. The Globalization of Canadian Rage.

Given the speech this morning at the National prayer Breakfast and Trump suing the government for $10B, we are well into Monty Python territory.

Follow the money! Is there any article or book available that spells out in detail exactly how Epstein got to be so wealthy? I know he had backing from a billionaire but was that it?

This has all been public for a couple of decades. It's Thiel’s client Vance’s job to bring this to completion if Trump doesn't suffice. (2/2)

Telling PM Carney to get out of the way is laughable. The US has some serious issues to deal with this year. The world needs to figure out how to react if it implodes. Only the market can save it as the billionaires are the only guide rails left. I am sure the military is nervous. 2/2

As long as Trump is in charge, USMCA is on the chopping block. Only the business community in the US can save it. Negotiations are meaningless as US reps are constantly undermined by Trumo, Bessent and Lutnick. Pollievre could do no better no matter what he says. 1/2

Now that Pollievre got 87% of the vote, there is no ambiguity. Voters have a clear choice of not only the leader, but the party. Red Tories May park their votes for a Blue Liberal for a while.

And to what end are they arresting Don Lemon?

Ongoing general strike! Only guard rail left is the economy.

Turn abandoned anchor stores at malls into grow ops for fruits and vegetables in Canada!

General strike to hit at the heart of the economy is needed.

So what’s the big announcement tomorrow intended to divert our attention from Minneapolis?

A nation wide general strike would capture the attention of Wall Street which is the only guide rail left. Not going to happen. US too fragmented. Sadly.

To distract from Minnesota, maybe invade low hanging fruit like Cuba which will be ignored as Venezuela is now being ignored. Cuba will have no country willing to fight for it except for a lot of blah blah. Kushner will swoop in with a power point presentation showing off a new American playground.

It appears that the only guard rail left is Wall Street vis a vis international relations, eg Greenland. However Wall Street doesn’t seem to care what happens domestically although it should.

Is Minnesota going to be the tipping point? Democratic leadership should show up in Minneapolis and march with the people.

January 22, 2026: Prime Minister Carney's address to the World Economic Forum in Davos and can he deliver on his vision? Ontario Premier Ford on Canada-China EV deal www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9-P... @rosiebarton.bsky.social @acoyne.bsky.social @chebert18.bsky.social @althiaraj.bsky.social 🍁

Kushner presenting real estate development plans in Davos is so crass. Shame on the WEF for allowing the entire spectacle.

We need a Will McAvoy!!

The West has been awfully quiet about the human rights abuses taking place in Minneapolis on live tv. Today someone used bear spray on someone’s face all caught in living color.

Good Cop. Bad Cop. Rutte gave him an off ramp. Carney is the bad cop. Rutte/carney had a bilateral just as the PM was leaving.

Who negotiated a deal on Greenland with Trump? Too funny really.

The only reason he specifically said that he would not invade Greenland is because Bessent likely told him the markets would go crazy. So a tiny nugget gets through once in a while. Imagine being a bright and competent person having to clean this crap all the time.

Didn’t watch Trumo. Was there applause? Was there a Q and A?

Canada get in the brace position for new threats which will no doubt come our way today or tomorrow.

Listen to PM Carney speech and follow up Q and A at Davos. Canadians buckle up. The sign is out of the window. Appeasement will not work.
