Humans are a social species deriving its energy from tribalism - which is threatened by outside influences. Modern day politics is fear of change. Instead of mitigating the negative effects or adapting to change, human tribalism attempts to recreate a nostalgic mythical past to deal with it.

The White Christian Nationalism (WCN) movement is more than what is taking place in the US. Whether it is WCN, Quebec Separatists,Islam theocracy, Neo Nazi Germany, Putin's attempt at recreating Imperial Russia, it's a consequence of globalization.

I am a dried out “prune" ( my skin is all atrophied bruised & orange!) I ought to KEEP my MOUTH SHUT until I get out of the WH. Then we'll all see how it goes for me!"

PROJECTION- I am Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who is a fervently a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who is close to destroying our Country. If I wasn't elected, I would have been GONE by now! Sleepy me doesn’t have a clue as to what I am doing.

No one could imagine that the officials we elected would actually be spilling out this nonsense. The only place you would find this stuff is in far fetched trash cinemas no one goes to see - like the movie "Melania"

Declaration of Independence: "But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. "

And these are the guys who accused Canada of interference in US politics. " U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said Canada inserted itself into American electoral politics with Ontario's anti-tariff ad" CBC. Threatened by an ad about what Reagan said vs their actual interference. What a joke .

Better ask Trump to send in ICE agents so he & they can take credit for lowering the homicide rate!

When did donny last fill up his car & paid for it by himself?

Following orders is not a defence, but her comments emphasizes that the burden of responsibility is 100% on Trump & Miller. Everyone is going to blame the other guy. Trump will, as he always does, shift the blame on someone else & throw the person under the bus- his usual MO.

And don't forget the War of 1812. Had Britain lost, Quebec & Canada would be American- No French. So thanks to Britain we have the bilingual Canada of today.

Because of the Quebec Act of 1774 , the British rejected assimilation of the French speaking population. If it had not happened, Quebec would not have its unique character we see today.

The more AI dependent we become, the more guidelines interpreted as gospel, the more splintered our medical services becomes, the more technical dependent we become & the more we ignore the importance & value human interaction, the more our patients will be unsatisfied by our care.

"Conrad Black: Carney's middle powers plan a complete fantasy". How can such a smart man about history be so consumed by his own ideology that he is unable to appreciate what Carney was saying about the present.

Let's do an experiment to see if Miller has the same opinion after we try a little "respectful" torture on him

Miller’s cousin, Alisa Kasmer, wrote about Stephen Miller that she was "living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil"

According to the crime statistics for Minneapolis, so far this year there have been 2 non negligent homicides. That is equal to the 2 murders by ICE in 2026 .As I understand it, ICE is in the city to protect it from murders, yet they have on their own doubled that number ! What does that tell you?
