Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Time to #boycott Ring. Would be great to boycott #Amazon, but let's get real.

Oh and don't forget that Amazon knows the layout of your house from your roomba data, as well. So Amazon now can give ICE video of you on the street, in your car, and they know the layout of your house.

I don’t think people really understand the ramifications of Ring data being accessed by authorities. This short vid explains the dangers

Reject tariffs! History has shown us that they only lead to economic depression and military aggression.

📌This Ontario, Canada, commercial is the truth, sheer brilliance, and should spread like wildfire across the United States.

Ontario launches $75 million ad campaign using the words of Ronald Reagan to argue against tariffs.

Trump earlier today when asked about the construction of the new ballroom:

“It won’t interfere with current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

This is how it was left now overnight ⬇️

Jerry, yes.

George Springer of the Toronto Blue Jays rounds first base—his first is in the air and he wears a jubilant expression as he celebrates the game winning three run homer that’s sending the Jays to the World Series for the first time since 1993.

The sun has coughed up three coronal mass ejections which, if Earth-directed, can produce the beautiful northern lights, and it seems that they are heading our way.

So, since Poilievre wants to talk about someone speaking jibberish— let’s hear how Poilievre himself talks about the economy.

Don’t you feel smarter?

Very clear the Leader of the Opposition, Pierre Poilievre needs to get out of Canadian politics. For the love of Canada, Conservatives please find a progressive leader. This hate farmer needs to go.
Sorry for the meme, but it’s true. He is mimicking Trump.
We do have Maple Maga here.

Oh my GOD.

At 4:10 p.m., she texted me: "By the way-everything | ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know."
I responded: "I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect."
Halligan was unpersuaded: "Yes, I do. Off record."
"I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked," I said. "But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?
To my surprise, she kept going: "It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story."
I didn't respond. It was time to publish my story. I'II text it to her.

Western Canada Select now at less than $45 so what will the UCP will do to save Alberta? Which services will they cut? What will they do to salvage their economy? I guess just more layoffs. Unemployment rate of 15% coming soon.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

I’ve been saying it since election night and I’m now more convinced than ever with the Restore The North stuff and the amount of things they’re saying:

The “bros” (Jivani, Gunn, Kuruc, etc) are going to shiv Poilievre soon and try to make Jivani CPC leader.

Stick a pin in this.
