Price check on aisle 4: I mispriced the Fogolar Cabernet Franc, as the LCBO website did not reflect its sale price… an even better bargain than first reported #wine malcolmjolley.substack.com/p/wine-must-...

Donald Trump is the hoax. Nothing he says, professes, or promises can ever be taken seriously. He is a toxic clown, a dangerous joke, and the great American embarrassment. He is the hoax.

I took Via Rail from Toronto to Ottawa and back. Not a big deal, you would think, except it took up two days of my life and cost me hundreds of dollars on top of the ticket. lloydalter.substack.com/p/train-brai...

Trump has ordered attacks in seven countries since returning to office. That’s just one less than the number of wars he asserts he ended and seven more than he actually ended.

The administration stayed home from Halifax and forced the US military to do so as well. This isn’t an aberration: Also over the weekend, the administration boycotted the G20 in S Africa. How does the Trump team expect to win any diplomatic victories when it’s not even on the field? wapo.st/4oZH3wz

Trump says he’s canceling trade negotiations with Canada over anti-tariff ad
President Donald Trump claimed Canada “fraudulently used” an advertisement that featured audio from a 1987 radio address by President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

The Epstein birthday card is now public. (Trump can continue to pretend it's not real, but that's not the point.) The point: If the card were the worst thing for Trump in the files, why wouldn't Trump now make the Epstein files public? Conclusion: There are worse things for Trump in the files.
