For Americans Only
If you aren’t American you may be able to figure it out.
I Couldn’t Help It
I laughed when I saw this one. I don’t really care about who Taylor Swift marries – her music does nothing for me. Nor do I care about the NFL. I will never be a “Swiftie.” I figure though that there is so much publicity I don’t need to explain what I am talking about. […]
Sauce For The Goose
The wandering legislators have returned to Texas. The legislature has now passed the law rewriting the 3elctoral map and creating five new electoral districts that will ostensibly deliver five more seats in Congress to the Republicans in the next election. Republicans are hailing it as a triumph for democracy, Or at least for Donald Trump […]
Under The Bus
It’s been more than eight months since Donald Trump said he could end the Russo-Ukraine War in a day. Today in Munich, I mean Alaska, he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to push for a deal. Certainly the deal is there to be made, as long as it is on Putin’s terms. If […]
America’s Most Wanted
So what will the FBI do when they catch them? Drag them back to Texas in irons? Chain them to their desks in the legislature? Just lock them up and throw away they key? Or order up a firing squad? The world is laughing at the United States again. Americans don’t get the joke. The […]
Misleading Language
Rather than calling it “improved,” it is a wonder that whoever the people are who run Yahoo! didn’t borrow from George Orwell’s 1984 and say it was “doubleplusgood.” Yahoo! has “improved” its email service that has been used by millions for decades. The email service, like so many others, is free. Always has been. You […]
Shooting The Messenger
My first impulse was to laugh. I can do that because I am not an American. If I was I would cry. The national job report came out Friday in the USA. The numbers weren’t good. Turns out job growth in America was significantly weaker in May and June than had been previously reported. To […]
Nobody Cares About Tariffs
August 1 was tariff day, the day Donald Trump was to announce what financial penalties he was going to levy on Canada for selling Americans the oil, gas and electricity they need. Earlier in 2025 people waited for those announcements, wondering how Trump’s tariff wars would impact them personally and Canada as a nation. No-one […]
Montreal’s MAGA Mayor
The official statement read: “Freedom of expression is one of our fundamental values, but hateful and discriminatory speech is not accepted in Montreal and, as in other Canadian cities, the show will not be tolerated..” This was Mayor Valerie Plante’s position on a worship concert by Christian singer Sean Feucht as she canceled the permit […]
Mixing Politics and Religion
If you needed an example of why politics and religion don’t mix, this past week is a prime example. It started with Parks Canada pulling the permit for a concert for an American Christian worship leader aligned with Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, and snowballed into multiple permit revocations in different Canadian cities. I should point […]
