The US media is describing the Draganfly drone deal as a "TAMPA-BASED" company getting US investors (Don Jr. & a secret company) to expand US capabilities while feeding on a contract with the Canadian military. Why are we using taxpayers money to support US interests? tbbwmag.com/2026/09/28/t...

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
