In which one of the nation's most prominent opinion writers, a man frequently published in the most influential national outlets, wails about being on the weaker side of a supposed power imbalance with a professor of medieval history at a regional public university. Talk about victim culture.

An obviously not-starved orange and white tabby stares plaintively — or is it threateningly? — at the viewer. A bone-dry food dish is obviously to blame for this tragic state of affairs.

This mayor makes me want to move to NYC. Opera is a hoot! Yes, what these artists do with their voices is incredible, but also, the plots are fantastic. These are the OG freaking superhero, lost love, and revenge fantasies! Kids and teens can love opera, too.

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

More from Jackson Karki, who chairs 4 counties for the Mike Rogers campaign: "Thank you Donald Trump for ruining it for us… and handing the country over to socialism.” #MIsen
“The vibes on the ground are the worst I’ve seen in my life,” Karki tweeted from his anonymous account, Red Lion Politics. “No one wants to promote candidates, no one wants to knock doors, no one wants to do shit. Attendance for any right wing event is at all time lows anywhere I go. Thank you Donald Trump for ruining it for us… and handing the country over to socialism.”

Karki, the Rogers campaign, and the NRSC did not return requests for comment.

Granted, Karki has relatively little work experience. He’s just starting out, and his only other previous employer listed on his LinkedIn page, aside from the Marquette County GOP, is an Ace Hardware store. However, his tweet seems to have resonated with the base.

“Iran War absolutely destroyed the vibes. I've never seen a bigger self own in my life. I know so many disillusioned & confused Trump supporters,” one account replied to Karki. He responded with a “DING DING DING.”

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
