The 'founding fathers' were, almost without exception, Enlightenment deists.
What does that mean? They believed in a Creator, who set his creation in motion and then stepped away. No further interaction with his creation. No acting on prayers. No intercession in its development.

This man should not be in control of his own powered wheelchair, let alone a nuclear arsenal.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

The racism on view in that video Trump posted (and has now taken down, having bent the knee to woke cancel culture) is relevant because it's the same racism that is animating the anti-Somali federal occupation of Minneapolis and will animate the surge of anti-Haitian feds into Springfield, OH.

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

Yes, the Dominion of Canada was a direct response to fears that a United States--already on a war footing at the Civil War's close--would turn it's attention north to British North America. (Canada)
The United States turned instead toward eliminating any effective presence by Indigenous Peoples.

Dude knows shit. Canada exists because they didn't want to join the US. "Confederation was inspired in part by fears that British North America would be dominated and even annexed by the United States. (See also Manifest Destiny.) These fears grew following the American Civil War (1861–65)."

I've been watching some football today, can somebody check and see who we're at war with on this beautiful sunny day in the Pacific Northwest?
Not Canada yet, right?

Iran?
Denmark? Really?

Too bad the Republican-controlled US Congress isn't alive to stop this shit. :(

Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
