No. You are very mistaken.
77 million voted for Trump last year with 89 million not bothering to vote. This is not temporary, this is the US in the 21st century.
A majority of Canadians consider the US to be an economic and national security threat.

Alright, I'm ahead of schedule. Made my turnip side dish. (See video)
Tomorrow I bust out the big guns: sourdough stuffing, four cheese mac and cheese, a bunch of parm-saturated veggie sides, the joys of fresh cranberries popping in a sauce.
Then the bird on Thursday.

Four cheeses in my mac and cheese. I'll be making mine tomorrow with several other sides. Let's just say that if mac and cheese is in your Turkey Day repertoire, your guest list is probably a lot more inclusive than some neoliberal group of Connecticut suburban dwellers. 🤣🤣

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

The "economic genius" got played. Another case against the Deutsche Bank forecast. When pledges are not upheld and tariff enforcement remains wildly unpredictable, how can any analyst accurately predict anything?

Hmm. It literally just took a big hit in the last month. And it has only grown 91 points this year. With cost of living and shaky employment (figures now not being released), how is a 1,000 point boost possible?

Deutsche Bank sees S&P 500 rising to 8,000 by end of 2026
Deutsche Bank on Monday projected the S&P 500 index to climb to 8,000 by the end of next year, citing strong corporate earnings and artificial intelligence-driven gains, making it the most bullish among major global brokerages.

Just as they falsely amplified Joe the Plumber and Rick Santelli's 2009 rant from the Chicago Mercantile Exhange. Corporate media is as complicit in stifling and lying about progressive movements as the DNC is. The Democrats who voted to condemn socialism lust for vanilla status quo narratives.
If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

Inflation report. In 2020, I purchased a four pack of Pyrex 7 cup containers for $36. In 2025, I can only get two 7 cup containers for the same price. The price of Pyrex has doubled in only five years. Supply chain? Tariffs? You make the call. But DOUBLE the price in five years is outrageous.
