Folks, the end of what was once a great media tool is near. For obvious reasons, we are shifting over to BlueSky. Please follow us there: https://t.co/sB16oo05g7
My new book—HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the Fight for America—is now out. It's the story of Putin's years-long covert attack on the US & Trump's complicity in this assault. See this video narrated by Nick Offerman

Ahead of Veterans Day, the Secret Handshake installed The Foot Soldier, a gold statue mocking Trump’s bone spurs, on the National Mall. It stands across the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden.
It's Remembrance Day.
Take time, this day above all, to honour and thank those who risked and lost their lives so that you could peacefully live yours.
"Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."
All veterans share a selfless commitment to serve Canada. On #RemembranceDay, we honour their service and sacrifice, pay tribute to those who gave their lives in duty, and remember those who never came home.
Today, Canada’s Fallen will be honoured and Remembered. Please join us in observing a moment of silence at 11:00 am to mark the sacrifice of those who have fallen in the service of their country.

🇨🇦 Canada has deployed its entire NATO multinational brigade (approx. 3,000 troops and 1,000 vehicles) to eastern Latvia for its largest-ever military exercise in the country. The message is clear: NATO is preparing not just to deter Russia, but to defend its eastern flank. Ottawa has extended its military presence in Latvia until 2031.

A už to leze na povrch, přesně, jak jsem předpokládal. Dva ze tří soudců mezinárodní arbitráže, kteří rozhodli o návratu hokejistů moskevského režimu do mezinárodních soutěží, jezdili do Moskvy řečnit na konference a užívat si luxusu v nejlepších hotelích.
Taková malá náhodička, asi jako jsou náhodičky peníze nalezené u blba Bystroně z AfD v Německu, verbování investigativní novinářky, návštěvy íránských ambasád a "záhadná" velkorysost proruských kolaborantů vůči Moskvě.
Všechno rozesírání Evropy a světa mají na svědomí ruské špinavé peníze a banda lokálních nemorálních hajzlů, kteří prodají jim svěřenou funkci a důvěru Putinovi.
Rusko nemá v mezinárodním sportu co pohledávat, dokud neukončí válku a nesplatí všechny škody nejen Ukrajině, ale celé Evropě.

🇨🇳 🇺🇸 Imagine China invades the United States. Chinese troops occupy Alaska. Chinese missiles destroy American cities, power stations and hospitals. Beijing complains that Washington has been behaving provocatively by refusing to surrender.
President Donald Trump appears on television, desperately appealing to Europe for help.
Europe’s response?
“Donald, shut up. You don’t have the cards. You’re in a very bad position. You should be grateful we’re even talking to you.”
Then a Chinese missile strikes an elementary school in Washington. Dozens of American children are killed.
A European leader is asked whether Beijing should be held responsible.
“Look, it’s terrible. Absolutely terrible. But we must remember that people are dying on both sides. Chinese soldiers are being killed by American troops, too. We cannot simply blame China because some American children have died. We need to understand the legitimate security concerns of both countries.”
Meanwhile, reports emerge that 50,000 American children have been forcibly taken by Chinese occupation forces. Children from Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Texas have been transported to China, separated from their parents and placed with Chinese families.
Europe urges everyone to remain calm.
“Frankly, some of these children have been placed with better Chinese families. Very respectable people. Lovely homes. We mustn’t allow emotional arguments about children to derail the peace process.”
Trump demands their immediate return.
European leaders roll their eyes.
“Honestly, the man is exhausting. Every time we speak to Trump, it’s the same bloody thing. Anti-aircraft missiles, air defence systems, ammunition, weapons, weapons, weapons. Can’t he just shut up for five minutes? We’re trying to negotiate peace here.”
Meanwhile, Europe demands that Washington immediately stop attacking Chinese oil refineries and military infrastructure.
“American strikes are escalating the conflict and threatening global energy prices. Beijing needs reassurance that its infrastructure will be protected.”
China continues systematically destroying America’s electricity grid, bridges and railway networks.
Europe calls for restraint. From America, naturally.
European envoys then fly to Beijing to negotiate lucrative deals involving gas from occupied Alaska and a magnificent new North American security architecture.
“We must address China’s legitimate security concerns. Perhaps America could withdraw its troops from certain states and reconsider its military alliances. After all, Beijing has genuine concerns about American military forces operating so close to Chinese positions.”
The Chinese positions are in Texas.
Trump protests that nobody has asked the Americans what they think.
“Donald, we’re negotiating peace. Please stop being difficult. China’s security concerns are just as legitimate as yours.”
Eventually, Brussels announces a historic agreement with Beijing determining the future of North America.
The Americans are invited to applaud.
Now, if this sounds like foreign policy devised by a committee of spectacularly incompetent estate agents attempting to sell a house while its owners are being murdered upstairs, congratulations. Your brain is functioning.
In modern American diplomacy, the country invading its neighbour deserves security guarantees, commercial opportunities and understanding.
And the children?
Well, there are always two sides to every story.
The moral collapse of a government.

Doug Ford treats Ontario’s teachers the same way he treats our doctors and nurses. He’s deliberately gutting our public health care and our public education to pave the way for privatization.
Every Canadian deserves excellent public health care. How quickly you get the care you need should never depend on how much you can afford to pay.
Never thought hope could come from Texas. Figured British Columbia would be a beacon with how "progressive" it supposedly is. I was wrong. Texas is now more progressive than BC. Texas rejected MAGA Conservative politics while BC elected Maple MAGA BC Conservatives. Embarrassing
“Soon, Trump won’t be president and Americans will have to ‘de-Trumpify’ their country, much like the Allies had to ‘de-Nazify’ Germany after World War Two.
“Canada must follow suit, ridding itself of the dangerous Maple MAGA cult that has infected the conservative movement.”
Just like clockwork. The corporations that we VOTED to block from buying off politicians are suing to make sure...they can keep buying off politicians.
For anyone asking why Russian's should be banned from sports?
Since 2022 they have killed over 800 Ukrainian athletes and sports officials and damaged or destroyed nearly 960 sports facilities across Ukraine.
Fuck Russian Athletes.
Let tonight be a lesson to Pierre Poilievre who worships Republicans,
That Americans will not accept the crap,
either will Canadians.
Conservatives need to shape up or ship out !
