1. For about a fortnight, I have been offering readers a variation on a theme of insanity. www.editorialboard.com/trump-make/
editorialboard.com
So the most powerful person in the world is insane. Now what?
The lesson? Never put a mad man in the White House.

Trump is a clear and present danger to Canadian national security, and his efforts go beyond some trade negotiation. He is plotting a soft invasion. Alberta is just the testing ground for the US, Russia, and Israel. Other obj. include dismantling the EU, forcing a Ukraine loss.

Decision-making after the RMA reform. (And might I say that Minister Bishop has the perfect profile to grace a coin) My #cartoon today #NZpol #RMA #Environment #NaturalEnvironmentsAndPlanning
Cartoon. Title: “Decision-Making After the RMA Reform” Image shows two sides of the one coin. The first, labelled “Heads” shows MP Chris Bishops in profile, with “The Natural Environments And Planning” and also “I win” and the reverse, labelled “Tails” shows a bare bottom, the words, “The Natural Environments And Planning” and “You Lose” below, as a speech bubble issuing from Bishop, “I, the Minister, will have the power of final say on any planning decision in the country”

Deeply reassuring that our response to the worst flu season in a decade, supported by telling kids to go to school when sick, $30 vaccines, no clean air, chronic (and very deliberate) underfunding and under resourcing of the health system, is a collective shrug while these headlines keep occuring 👇

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.
