Love love love that Ford is getting under Trump's skin. Perhaps Lake Michigan should be named something more patriotic like Lake Ford (after the motor company, of course 😉) www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...

So...104% tariff on Chinese imports. Is that why they're seizing the phones at the border - there's going to be a massive shortage of regularly priced phones so border guards are stocking-piling for side sales.

The Art of the Deal. The end result is irrelevant. The goal: prolong the adrenalin rush by forcing individual countries to prostrate themselves at his feet begging for as long as possible. Dealing with the EU as a group shortens the rush. He craves them one-by-one. www.salon.com/2025/04/04/t...

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

In Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" the opposite happens. So...what if we proclaim Trump the first Emperor of North America? "People are saying, I'd be the greatest Emperor ever. We'd have the best Empire. They wanted to make Washington a king. North America loves me--maybe even more than Washington."

Just thinking...if the 2024 US election were held today, Canada (with a population of 40 million) would hand Harris a huge win as the 51st state. Too bad Trump will never face that reality. Would've loved to hear the rants and tirades.
