Trump is openly siding with Putin, blaming Ukraine's self-defense rather than Russia's aggression for the war, and telling Ukraine to surrender. Worth calling it out every time. But hardly new. Ambushing Zelensky in DC, aping Russian propaganda, and insisting it's Ukraine's fault was March 2025.

Trump’s handling of Ukraine proves Russian propaganda is working
As Carl von Clausewitz wrote in the 19th century, “the aggressor is always peace-loving. ... He would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

I remain concerned that the premier will use any potential problems on referendum day/on Elections Alberta's part to justify *another* referendum -- one that would presumably keep the separatists off her back for a little while longer. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/17/o...

Forget about banning American imports. In Alberta, the government is actively importing as many aspects of their political culture as possible. The latest: election denialism.

Love that Edmontonians can elect councillors who support bike lanes and infill, only for the province to override them. We’re holding a separation referendum because the Premier won’t let anyone “silence the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans.” Unless they live in Edmonton, apparently.

A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.

The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other. 

The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order. 

Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.
