The Mount Rushmore boys weigh in on modern America:
• men in women's sports?
• puberty blockers?
• is Canada gay?
• what is DEI?
• should Trump be the fifth bestie?
I am waiting for the AI version.
Baby Trump's Minnesota Fraud Update Is HILARIOUS🏴☠️😭
He Called It A Coup 😭
Chinese Emperor Baby Trump is HILARIOUS... 😂
Whew! This is rough but full of truth.
The Cost Of Being Canadian
I am a Canadian who did everything right. I worked. I paid my bills. I built something steady and resolute.
It was supposed to be enough.
With everything I’ve done, everything I’ve built, it should have been enough.
It isn’t.
The conditions that make a life work aren’t there anymore, for far too many of us.
Now I’m left trying to make life work on a 20-hour workweek, grateful for part-time while so many of my fellow Canadians are shut out of employment altogether.
So now I sit here, doing survival math through my banking app.
Groceries are way up. Fuel is up. Rent and mortgages are out of reach. Insurance and utilities just keep climbing. Every bill asks a little more. Nothing waits for us to catch up.
You feel it before you even see the total.
According to the Liberal government and those who defend it, this is stability, the best in the G7. I don’t know any one single person living that version of it.
This is what being Canadian feels like now.
I’m told to be careful, shopnonly the sales, to tighten my belt and use less, to make it work. Meanwhile, the Liberals keep borrowing, spending, and layering in reckless policy that doesn’t match the reality people are living, and it’s the people who are left footing the bill.
Carbon pricing shows up in fuel and food, no matter how much it’s denied by the Liberals, and the people pointing out their lies are categorically written off as haters. It's regulatory policy detached from real-world consequences and it's driving up the cost of building, or doing business. Deficits don’t shrink, and the costs never stop. Not ever.
And the impact, as demoralizing as it is insufferable, doesn’t stay in Ottawa.
It lands right here, among us all.
And we’re the ones left to carry it's full burden.
We are beleaguered Canadians, expected to carry all of this, with a smile and a thank-you.
On its own, every ill-conceived liberal policy decision is explained, defended, justified. But taken together, over eleven years, they’ve changed what it costs to live in this country. A cost nobody should have to bear.
That’s the part you don’t hear plainly.
This didn’t just happen. It was built. One misguided climate policy or socially engineered directive at a time. One increase at a time. One tax at a time. One expropriated freedom at a time. One weak explanation every time. Small enough to defend on its own. Big enough, in total, to reshape everything we see before us now.
We live under the thumb of ideological policy built in theory, and we endure all it's flawed results paid for in real time.
Dare to question any of it, and you’re told you don’t understand it, that you’re misinformed, that you just need it explained properly.
Keep questioning, and suddenly you’re the problem.
All of it shows up on our receipt.
We did what this country asked of us. We showed up. We contributed. We played by the rules.
It doesn’t feel like that matters anymore. Somewhere along the way, doing everything right stopped being enough.
You can see it everywhere if you’re paying attention. The smaller carts. The half tanks. The hesitation of how, exactly to express one's self before responding to “How are things?” Wondering if we should cast our votes anymore since they have so little value nowadays.
I am a Canadian who trusted what this country said we could trust.
Healthcare used to be something we proudly trusted. My husband trusted it. And it failed him. He didn’t make it.
We used to trust that retirement was always a guaranteed part of the plan for the future. Now it feels like we’re working until we drop, just trying to get through the present.
That’s not politics. That’s my daughter growing up without her father. That’s one more life, a chance denied, part of a pattern too many Canadians are being forced to live through.
And it’s not just me. It’s families across this country quietly carrying losses they never should have had to.
Everyone knows this.
We’re just being polite, as we’re so famously known for.
Sorry.
Apologetic to a fault… even now in our suffering
We are the Canadians who remain… and this is what it’s come to.
And all that’s left is survival math.
I did everything right.
I still can’t afford to live in my own country.
This is what Canada feels like now.

@MarcNixon24 Agreed.. he’s a total fraud!
Traitorous loser Matt Jereroux
says Alberta separatists "are a danger to Canada"
He took DONATIONS and volunteer's time as A CONSERVATIVE
and then STABBED them in the back by becoming a Liberal
hes a f'in danger to democracy!
.@SecMullinDHS BREAKING: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin Drops Bombshell on Sanctuary Cities.
In a bold new stance, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is signaling a major crackdown: Sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement could lose customs and immigration processing at their international airports.
Mullin said Tuesday:
“If they’re not enforcing immigration laws, then why would I be processing immigration in their city and turn them loose in their city?”
He added: “If Democrats don’t want to fund Customs and Border Patrol, then Democrats don’t get to use them.”
Mullin also declared: “I don’t think sanctuary cities are legal.”
The comments, made during remarks covered by C-SPAN, come as the Trump administration demands cooperation from cities receiving federal resources.
No more free rides. Cities that shield illegal immigrants may soon watch their international airports grind to a halt on customs processing.
What do you think — should sanctuary cities face real consequences?
🇺🇸 Share if you support enforcing the law everywhere!
Another piggy crosses the floor.
🚨BREAKING: Marilyn Gladu just crossed the floor to the Liberals.
You know, the same Marilyn Gladu who ran for Conservative leader in 2020, positioning herself as the fresh face of “fiscal responsibility and social compassion.”
Now she’s bailing on the party she wanted to lead... for Carney's Liberals.
Zero principles, maximum ambition. Classic Ottawa.
Do you still think Alberta will ever get a fair deal in Confederation.
What a fucking slap to the face of Sarnia-Lambton voters!
@MarilynGladuSL ran as a Conservative. Fundraised as a Conservative. Campaigned on opposing Liberal policy for years. Even tried to lead the damn party.
And now?
She crosses the floor and hands Mark Carney the numbers he needs. There are no words. At least not socially acceptable ones, but my first choice is a very emphatic one that rhymes with punt.
No resignation.
No by-election.
No permission from the people who actually voted for her.
Just a quiet little political costume change and a middle finger to her own riding.
Sarnia-Lambton didn’t elect a Liberal.
They got one anyway.
Call it what it is.
This isn’t courage.
This isn’t principle.
This is a self-serving, backroom, career-saving pivot dressed up as “doing what’s right.”
You don’t get to spend years telling voters one thing and then flip the second it’s convenient.
That’s not leadership.
That’s bullshit.
And every voter she campaigned to, deserves better than being treated like a disposable campaign prop.
And regardless of what she may claim, she did NOT engage the people in her riding first.
If she had, it would have leaked all over the internet. Its a sure sign that she already is, and always has been, a fucking liar.
#cdnpoli #AccountabilityNow #FloorCrossingCunt
Marilyn Gladu is now the fourth Conservative MP to cross to the Liberals.
How many more before Albertans realize Ottawa cannot be fixed?
Independence is the only path forward.
#AlbertaIndependence
So @MarilynGladuSL didn’t write this.
This reads like it was ghostwritten straight out of Mark Carney’s comms department. Same plastic wording. Same hollow phrasing. Same pre-packaged justification.
A carbon copy.
Because the entire statement is a lie.
This isn’t about Sarnia—Lambton.
It’s not about Canadians choking on rent, groceries, and a collapsing standard of living.
This is about her.
Her position.
Her access.
Her willingness to trade in the people who elected her for a better seat at someone else’s table.
If she had even a shred of integrity, she would have done the bare minimum due diligence on who she’s aligning with and what that means for her riding.
Instead, she parrots a script.
No scrutiny. No spine. No accountability.
And then comes the insult.
The claim she “heard from voters.”
That’s not just false, it’s insulting.
If she had actually consulted them, this wouldn’t have been quietly stitched together behind closed doors. It would have erupted publicly before she ever crossed the floor.
She didn’t consult them.
She avoided them.
Because she knew exactly what they’d say.
This is what this system allows.
Voters cast a ballot for one thing, and get something else entirely.
A riding gets reassigned without consent.
Power gets consolidated while accountability evaporates.
Sarnia-Lambton didn’t vote Liberal.
They got one anyway.
And now she sits there as nothing more than a number, counted toward Mark Carney’s majority ambitions while real people deal with the fallout.
This is what “representation” looks like now.
Not service.
Not principle.
Just a cold, calculated switch that tells voters exactly how little they matter once the election is over.
Mark it down.
People are watching.
People are angry.
And when the ballot box opens, that anger doesn’t disappear.
It cashes out.
In full.
One of the best visuals of the US vs Canada's military strength.
I had no idea just how ill-equipped we really were. We should be incredibly thankful that they are our neighbors.
My post on Friday regarding the estate tax proposal in New York got 600,000+ views, so clearly this struck a nerve. Some individuals asked me to back up what I said so I am going to discuss what happens when states push tax policy past the breaking point. Here is what the data shows and it’s worse than most people realize. According to IRS migration data, New York has lost $111 billion in net adjusted gross income over the last decade from residents moving to other states. That’s not hypothetical, that’s $111 billion in taxable income that used to fund schools, subways, police, and infrastructure that is now funding those things in Florida and Texas rather than New York. California lost $102 billion over the same period. Florida gained $196 billion. Texas gained $54 billion. That’s not a coincidence, it’s a pattern.
Between 2018 and 2024, 561 companies relocated their headquarters across the country. The San Francisco Bay Area lost 156 corporate headquarters. Los Angeles lost 106. New York City lost 27. Meanwhile Dallas alone gained 100, Austin gained 81, and Nashville gained 35. This didn’t come to a halt in 2025 or 2026. Palantir $PLTR which was the largest publicly traded company in Colorado, announced in February that it was moving its headquarters from Denver to Miami. It was PLTR’s second move in six years after leaving Silicon Valley in 2020. The governor of Colorado said he found out through a social media post. ExxonMobil’s $XOM board unanimously recommended that shareholders approve reincorporating the company from New Jersey to Texas after 144 years at the vote in May. Exxon has physically operated out of Texas since 1989, and its CEO said Texas has created a policy environment that allows them to maximize shareholder value. Chevron $CVX completed its move from California to Houston. In-N-Out Burger is opening a 100,000-square-foot eastern headquarters near Nashville and is leaving California. These aren’t outliers anymore as this is becoming the new normal.
It’s not just corporate headquarters moving. Entire financial ecosystems are relocating. Citadel, one of the most profitable hedge funds in the world, moved its headquarters from Chicago to Miami in 2022 and has been building out aggressively ever since. They’re constructing a massive new waterfront headquarters in Miami’s Brickell financial district. Elliott Management moved to West Palm Beach. Carl Icahn moved Icahn Enterprises from New York to Sunny Isles Beach. Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment Management relocated to St. Petersburg. Goldman Sachs $GS is building a $500 million campus in Dallas designed to house over 5,000 employees. JPMorgan Chase $JPM and Wells Fargo $WFC have both invested hundreds of millions into massive new campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Wells Fargo is also moving its wealth management division from San Francisco to West Palm Beach. NYSE Texas a reincorporation of the 143-year old Chicago Stock Exchange officially launched in Dallas in early 2025. The Texas Stock Exchange which is a brand new national securities exchange backed by over $160 million from BlackRock $BLK , Citadel Securities, and Charles Schwab $SCHW is set to begin trading by the end of this year. Nasdaq has also expanded its Texas presence with operations in Irving.
When you have that level of financial infrastructure being built in a single metro area, that’s not a trend it’s an ecosystem being constructed from scratch to compete directly with New York. Each of these moves represents not just a company but thousands of high-paying jobs, billions in local economic activity, and a signal to every other firm still on the fence that states with competitive rather than restrictive policy are creating enticing operating environments.
Currently over 1 million residents have left New York for other states since 2020 according to the latest Census estimates. International immigration has partially offset the population headcount, but it hasn’t replaced the tax base. The people leaving earn significantly more on average than the people arriving. Almost 1,700 millionaires changed their address out of New York in 2024 alone. Millionaires paid 44.6% of all personal income tax collected in the state last year. The proposed response to this fragility is to drop the estate tax threshold from $7.1 million to $750,000, raise the top rate to 50%, add a new 2% income tax surcharge on millionaires, increase corporate taxes, and add a capital gains surcharge. Under these proposals, the combined federal, state, and city top marginal rate on high earners in New York City would approach 54%. That’s a policy framework that ignores everything the last decade of data has told us.
The Dallas mayor just publicly predicted an “avalanche” of NYC financial firms heading to Texas under these policies. Florida realtors are seeing a surge of inquiries from wealthy New Yorkers. Cities like Miami, Austin, and Nashville are building entire ecosystems including schools, cultural centers, and financial services clusters which are designed specifically to attract the people New York is pushing out. Ken Griffin and Stephen Ross just launched a $10 million campaign called “Ambitious Accelerated” to recruit more businesses to what they’re calling Florida’s “Tech Gold Coast.” They’re not waiting for New York to figure it out. They’re actively recruiting our talent, our capital, and our tax base.
That’s what makes this moment so critical. We are in the middle of the most competitive environment for jobs, businesses, and investment that this country has ever seen. States are actively building infrastructure to attract employers and high earners. This is the time to compete, not to double down on the same policy approach that has been pushing wealth and businesses to lower-tax states for a decade. Texas entered its latest legislative session with a $24 billion surplus while having no personal or corporate income tax. Think about that for a moment, no personal or corporate income tax and they have a $24 billion surplus. Florida added more new businesses than any other state in 2024, with over 266,000 formed in a single year. These states didn’t create an attractive business landscape out of thin air. They made deliberate policy choices to create environments where businesses want to operate, where employers want to hire, and where working people can actually build something without the ground shifting underneath them every budget cycle.
This matters because of what it means for everyday people. When a company relocates its headquarters, it doesn’t just move a sign, the entire company leaves, from the executive team to the support staff. It doesn’t stop there because that's only internal. Externally, all of the trades that may do work for the company will no longer receive those phone calls. The restaurants will no longer see those repeat customers. The tax revenue from those paychecks won’t be collected, and future job growth in the community from that company will cease to exist. When Dallas gained 100 corporate headquarters over six years, that meant tens of thousands of new jobs, new residents spending money, new homes being purchased, new small businesses opening to serve those people. That’s how local economies actually grow. That’s how neighborhoods stay alive, and when a corporate headquarters leaves a city, the exact opposite happens. The jobs thin out, the spending dries up, the small businesses that depended on that foot traffic start closing, and the tax base that funded public services shrinks.
New York has every natural advantage in the world. The talent, infrastructure, culture, and institutions are all here, but it won’t be enough if the policy environment drives away the employers and investors who create opportunities for everyone else. The states that are growing right now aren’t growing by accident. They made a decision to be competitive. They kept tax burdens manageable, they created regulatory clarity for businesses, and they built an environment where employers want to expand and hire. New York has every tool to do the same thing. The question is whether the people making the decisions recognize that we’re in a competition and right now, we’re not acting like it.
Here’s the part nobody in Albany wants to hear. The people who leave don’t just take their tax returns with them. They take their fundraising networks, philanthropy, job creation, and spending to a new economy. A city that once attracted the world’s most ambitious people risks becoming a place they leave once they’ve made it, or worse, a place they never lay down roots. That’s not ideology. It’s an economic reality that the IRS, Census, and corporate relocation data have been telling us. I said it in my first post, and I’ll say it again. When you tax people past the point where the math makes sense, they leave. When they leave, the burden falls on everyone who doesn’t have the resources to relocate. It’s time to take a common-sense approach to policy and make the great state of New York competitive again. New York has a decision to make. Either it continues down this path and alienates more taxpayers or it becomes more competitive.
I love this state, but I am extremely worried for it’s future. We should be building a thriving ecosystem with an abundance of opportunities for New Yorkers, but instead we are pushing entrepreneurs and businesses to states that are more competitive with policy. Is this really the path we want to take not only for the current residents but for the next generation?
