Name one person this definition might apply to: Hubris. “Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments, or capabilities.”

“Senate Republicans are suddenly rushing to save a Senate seat in Kansas. “On Friday, the Senate Leadership Fund, Senate Republicans’ top super PAC, reserved over $8 million in ads starting this weekend to prop up GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, according to tracking firm AdImpact.” - Politico

“House Democrats on Friday announced plans to invest in eight more House districts that they say are now competitive thanks to President Donald Trump’s sinking popularity, bringing the total number of seats the party is targeting for pick ups to 66.” -Daily KOS

Trump dangles his elusive healthcare plan in front of voters once again.

Billmetoo @billmetoo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
2016: repeal and replace Obamacare. June 2018: a healthcare plan “in a very short period of time.” April 2019: a healthcare plan released “over the next four weeks.” May 2019: a “phenomenal” plan would come “in about two months.” July 19, 2020: a healthcare plan ‘in two weeks’.

Wab Kinew, NDP Premier of Manitoba and Doug Ford, Conservative Premier of Ontario, represent two ends of the Canadian political spectrum. You can tell which one is in the ascendancy. If Doug Ford was a US politician, he would be considered ‘progressive’. A little bit corrupt but not too bad.

GOP Senator Eric Schmidt made a total fool of himself accusing former Prosecutor Jack Smith of secretly meeting Fani Willis in Atlanta. For proof he offered tickets showing Smith attended a Hawks game. Turns out Smith actually attended the Iowa Hawkeyes womens team game 250 miles away. Burned!

No reporting on this. On September 14, 2026, an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Eight U.S. Marines were aboard the vessel and were injured. Reported injuries included smoke inhalation and possible concussion/traumatic-brain-injury.”

This is an interesting chart I photographed off the screen of Fareed Zacharia’s show on CNN. It shows that the US only produces about 9% of the active ingredients used by the US pharmaceutical industry. The US is very trade dependent for the rest. Trump is so full of shit.

US made goods are losing ground as Canadians voluntarily avoid buying them. Trump’s tariff war just means that he is shrinking the market for US businesses as he lines his own pockets. Ask US alcohol producers how its going or US farmers.

The New York Times is probably the most influential newspaper in the world. It currently has 13 million subscribers, 3 million outside the US. It has made a successful transition from a printed newspaper to a digital news and entertainment source.

“Xi’s last state visit to the US was in 2015, when China was still very much a rising power. Today, it is a true superpower, one that fought the U.S. to a stalemate when Mr. Trump launched a trade war last year, matching Washington tariff for tariff until both sides stepped back from the brink.”

Doesn’t anyone else find it strange that while Trump campaigns against ‘communism’ his best friends and allies are Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un.

“Trump is warning that Canada is being destroyed by “millions and millions” of unchecked and unvetted immigrants. “But on the very same day, Canada released numbers showing that our non permanent resident population has dropped by 154,614 people over the past year.” Lowest since 1971.

The US needs to do a lot of political reform to restore true democracy: -Overturn Citizens United -Term limits -Election spending limits -Eliminate the Electoral College -Code of conduct for elected officials and Supreme Court -make voting mandatory -interfering with voting a serious crime

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada in December to sign a completed trade deal between the two countries, New Delhi’s envoy says – a sign of warmer bilateral relations. In 2025, two-way goods and services trade between the two countries was worth $30.4-billion.

A cheaper alternative to a gas guzzler. New data from Cox Automotive shows that U.S. used electric vehicle sales jumped 25.9% in August compared with July, reaching 44,350 vehicles. That's also a 14.7% increase from a year earlier. New EV sales rose 2.5% for the month.

Following a massive hiring spree, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used $50,000 signing bonuses to attract applicants. However, the HR department fast-tracked thousands of applications without completing standard pre-check screenings. Hundreds failed out but kept the bonuses.
