By raking in $2.2 billion last year, President Trump made the equivalent of a presidential salary about every two hours. And he made the median American's annual income about every 10 minutes.

I hope Canadians understand that there are now and will be more foreign-based attempts to virally influence the Alberta separatism vote. Part of this effort will be to sow division within Canada. Non-Albertans attacking "Alberta(ns)" or Albertans attacking "Ottawa/Canada" is exactly what they want.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.
