How can they justify leaving right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.

Just yesterday, I deleted my Google Maps app and installed MapQuest. Now I find out that Apple Maps as well has kissed the hemorrhoids of the felon out of fear of retribution, ie $$$. This degree of cowardice has become the new normal, as it was in ascendance of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini.

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

I am happy that Apple and Google Maps still show my favorite Great Lake’s name as Lake Ontario. Makes me wonder why both of them caved so quickly on renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Any interest in protesting these companies to restore the gulf’s correct name?

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.
