If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

Reminder: Evan Solomon was fired for violating basic ethical standards by brokering art deals with Mark Carney, and now Mark Carney has him in charge of a portfolio of an industry filled with tech-finance grifters looking for unscrupulous political allies to force their shitty spy network on us.

This morning, CBC World Report has devoted more time to a stabbing attack in the UK than the US building up a force to illegally invade Nigeria.

Christian Zionists often profess to love both Israel and the Jewish people, but for many of them, this devotion is intrinsically tied to their beliefs about the fate of the Jews in the end times—and it’s not pretty.
Tucker Carlson’s lovefest with a white nationalist just blew up the Christian right
A conversation with Nick Fuentes about Christian Zionism got many MAGA notables upset.

Chuck Schumer has refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani, and now refuses to even say he’ll vote for him as Mayor. Just a breathtaking new level of cowardice.

Won’t someone please primary this spineless failure of a leader?

Go fuck yourself
Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist. Post Brianna Wu Subscribe @BriannaWu 2/ I consider my business settled with all trans sisters. If anyone wants to reset things, unblock and move forward, I am happy to do that. 7:16 • 01 Nov 25 • 5,969 Views

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

Trump sets his sights on Seth Meyers.

“NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”
Trump: Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to "perform" live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? - NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!! 26 ReTruths 85 Likes 11/1/25, 1:01 PM

And as Linda McQuaig wrote, it was critical to convince Canadians that free trade was our idea, because if it were an American idea, Canadians would have opposed it even harder.

Speaking of worthy Canadian stuff ... “Worthwhile Canadian Initiative” is a long-running joke as journalism's most boring headline ... and yet look it up, it's quite relevant today ...
It's a 1986 New York Times column about Canada's efforts to convince the US of the merits of free trade.
Excerpt from 1986 New York Times column. "A U.S.-Canadian move toward really free trade would show not only that it's possible but that countries determined to dig in behind their barriers risk being penalized." "Canada is taking the lead because 30 percent of its national product is now export-related, giving it a huge stake in an enlarged market, and 75 percent of its exports go to the U.S. The two countries are far and away each other's largest trading partner." "So far, the U.S. has been rather indifferent to the Canadian initiative. The Administration and Congress have other priorities just now. Canadian officials and politicians seem to be understanding, if disappointed, that their extraordinary gesture hasn't provoked more immediate interest. But they are pressing their point and Washington should bestir itself because this is an opportunity to move the world in the direction of American principles and openness of many kinds."
