As a "Chicagoan" and an "Illinoisan", I stand with Canada and adore my nearby more North and more Free neighbor. I hope Canada will beat-the-sh1t out of the US trade-wise.

Here's the Canadian flag at Chicago's O'hare Airport:

The people in the cult of MAGA always appear to be on the verge of some kind of mentally unstable outburst.

THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN VIOLENT.

The United States is being transformed into what would exist if Nazi Germany won the war.

But Nazi Germany didn't win the war.

In direct contrast to coverage from right-wing media, Portland residents and officials have emphasized that it's actually federal agents who have been engaging in “violent tactics” against protesters.

Right-wing media say Portland is a war zone under siege. Local news paints a different picture.

Right-wing media claim that Portland’s protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement show a city “under siege” or “conquered by antifa,” but local news programs have reported the opposite. Mult...

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Throughout a long career in banking , this was a sure sign all was not well in the economy, as “misery grows from the bottom up”.

This led to bank officers “tightening up” (their lending sphincters) until the recession was over.

Credit cards r next. Watch working capital loans take a dive next.

In the US, food, water, and shelter aren’t legally guaranteed rights. Now communities are using that gap to push back on immigration raids and limiting access and cooperation so ICE and DHS can’t operate as easily. It shows how federal power depends on local compliance, not automatic authority.
