Canadian Fires
The air quality is at a severe hazardous risk. Going outside yesterday was like going out in a dense smoke fog. The smoke in the air was causing eye irritation and coughing. Particularly annoying as all weekend plans will be canceled unless some heavy rain helps clean the air.
That smoke is coming from over 850 wildfires burning across Canada, mostly in Ontario, plus some in northern Minnesota. It’s hit the whole Great Lakes region hard, with Detroit having some of the worst air quality in the world yesterday, and alerts stretching from Minnesota through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into the Northeast.
In Western Michigan, I’m right in the thick of it, the state’s under an air quality alert through today, with PM2.5 levels very unhealthy or hazardous. The smoke’s even drifted as far south as Georgia and parts of Texas, though much lighter there. Thunderstorms might help clear it out this weekend, but staying inside as much as you can is recommended until then.
No one’s giving a firm date, these fires could keep burning through August and into fall until we get a good soaking rain or snow. Right now Canada’s got around 890 active fires, with hot dry weather forecast for northern Ontario and the areas feeding your smoke.
They’re hitting them with ground crews, water bombers, helicopters, and air tankers, Ontario alone’s got hundreds of firefighters and extra aircraft from other provinces and the feds. A lot of the remote ones they just monitor because they’re too far out to reach easily. The big hope is a weather shift to cool things down and bring moisture.
$10 Billion BBC lawsuit
What the BBC did was intentionally try to influence the world by editing what President Trump said during his speech. How the BBC thinks this is okay to do shows their own role in the continuing propaganda that is told daily to people.
Trump sued the BBC for 10 billion dollars back in December 2025. He says they maliciously edited a clip from his January 6, 2021 speech in a documentary called “Trump: A Second Chance?” that aired right before the 2024 election. They spliced together parts from almost an hour apart, making it sound like he was directly calling for violence at the Capitol when he says he wasn’t.
The BBC admitted it was an “error of judgment,” apologized, and is claiming it wasn’t defamation and is fighting the case. The lawsuit’s in Florida federal court, they’ve got a trial date set for February 2027, and it’s still ongoing.
Here’s exactly what he said on the Ellipse that day. Early in the speech, Trump told the crowd: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
About an hour later, near the end, he said: “We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
The BBC documentary spliced those two moments together, making it sound like one continuous thought: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol… and we fight like hell.” They left out the “peacefully and patriotically” line.
The BBC admitted it was an error of judgment that created a misleading impression he was directly calling for violence. They apologized, but they’re still fighting the $10 billion lawsuit in Florida court. The trial’s set for February 2027.
The BBC did splice Trump’s speech misleadingly, they admitted it created a false impression that he was directly calling for violence at the Capitol. The media clips like this shaped what a lot of people believed happened
Before dawn on September 17, 1862, the quiet fields along Antietam Creek in Maryland erupted in hellfire.
Union and Confederate forces clashed in the bloodiest single day in American history. Over 22,700 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing in just 12 hours of savage combat.
Cornfields turned red. The Sunken Road became ‘Bloody Lane.’ Burnside’s Bridge ran with blood as wave after wave charged across.
Robert E. Lee’s outnumbered Confederates held against George McClellan’s larger Union army in a battle that stopped the first major Confederate invasion of the North — and gave Lincoln the momentum to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
One day. One creek. A turning point that changed America forever.
What does this battlefield teach us about courage and sacrifice? 🇺🇸🦉

They caught a massive haul of fish using nothing but some watermelon bait and a simple hoop net. No expensive gear, just patience and clever placement.
Is this genius fishing or just cheating? Let me know in the comments if you would try this.

@Gentleman2741 Thank you
@Gentleman2741
We were all raised to believe in Patriotism and supporting our Military, Flag and Country. I think we all wanted to believe in our government.
Doctor that’s a whole different story. I’ve been skeptic since a very early age.
I am a realist of a certain age. I will now ask you this ?
Did you once believe the system was here to support you ?
That your vote counted? That somehow you could make a difference?
That teachers were teaching you life skills? Something for your betterment ??
That Doctors wanted you well fit and healthy ??
WELL WE ALL WORKED OUT,IT IS, AND WAS A CON !
However ... "Illegitimi non carborundum"
AKA "Do not let the bastads grind you down"
As a learned man once said " FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

Happy Birthday! @ShemuelFjb47won
This is what the globalists want for all of us, but they will still be living the high life. 😉
They promise you everything, then they take everything from you.
Vote accordingly.
I would love for every Socialist/Communist to remove themselves to a socialist/communist nation.
No need to change the US!
We are a Constitutional Republic and we intend to stay one! 🇺🇸
Enjoy your flight! 😉
It’s hard to believe stuff like this can happen but you have to be so aware of your kids and pay attention. On the 4th of July this kid was swimming with another kid who tried to choke him and hold him under water. Luckily a friend noticed stopped it. What would make a child do this to another child and what should be the consequences?
🕊️Before you close your eyes tonight...
Pause and give this moment to God.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As the day comes to an end, I thank You for every breath, every step, and every unseen protection.
Quiet my mind and settle my heart in Your peace.
Wash away today's worries, forgive my shortcomings, and renew my strength for tomorrow.
Wrap me in Your presence tonight- let Your peace guard my thoughts and Your love fill every space within me. Remind me that even in stillness, You are working, restoring, and guiding my life.
I trust You with all I carry. I rest in You now.
In Jesus Name,
Amen🙏🏻
If you're trusting God tonight, type "I rest in You"
I get this feeling he really doesn't like his neighbor.
An arsonist in Indiana cut off his own penis, doused it in gasoline, then used it to start a fire inside his neighbors garage. The man admitted he "harmed himself" by "cutting off his penis" with a kitchen knife after he originally claimed he was stabbed. He has been charged with arson.
All I can say is unbelievable!
