Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

When Danielle Smith is not working as an oil and gas lobbyist she is working for the separatists. One thing is for sure she never does her job as Premier of Alberta.

As I have said on a different article on the same subject: simply stated, the UCP fund public education the lowest in Canada; private education the highest in Canada.

Their ideology on full display in the budget.

The vaccine preventable disease outbreak didn’t just happen in a vacuum. It took years of antivax organizing spreading misinformation. Years of RFK propaganda being accepted. The MLAs in the province that support their antivax voting base should have to accept this convoy was on them as well

Lower oil price outlook, sufficient current pipeline capacity, scant support from BC and First Nations, and no private sector interest. Will the rather compelling facts outweigh her feelings?

Danielle’s fever dream and lust for power may meet its match.

Max Fawcett @maxfawcett.bsky.social · 6d

Danielle Smith's government has finally found a proponent for its latest pipeline dream: itself.

Here's what she'd actually have to do to see it get built — and why she probably won't do it. #cdnpoli #abpoli

How Alberta could actually get its pipeline

If Danielle Smith actually wants to advance the prospects of a new oil pipeline, she needs to do more than just rattle her well-worn sabre at Ottawa.
