🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport.
MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start.
Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.
I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.
In 1943, Canada erased a hospital room from existence to save a royal baby — and Europe's oldest monarchy thanked them with flowers that still bloom 80 years later.
The Nazis had taken Holland. Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands had fled across the Atlantic with her daughters, finding refuge in Ottawa while her homeland burned. Now she was pregnant — and that pregnancy had triggered a constitutional crisis no government had ever faced.
The problem was brutally simple: If this baby was born on Canadian soil, Canadian law would grant automatic citizenship. And the ancient laws governing Dutch royal succession were unforgiving. Any hint of foreign citizenship could disqualify this child from ever ascending to the throne.
Sending her home wasn't an option. German U-boats prowled the waters. The royal palace in The Hague had swastikas hanging from its windows.
So Canada's lawyers did something that belongs in a novel, not a history book.
On January 19, 1943, the Canadian government issued an Order in Council that rewrote reality. The maternity suite at Ottawa Civic Hospital was declared extraterritorial. Not Canadian. Not Dutch. Not part of any nation on Earth.
For the span of a birth, that room existed in a legal void — a pocket of nowhere wrapped in hospital walls.
Princess Margriet was born into that impossible space. The moment she drew breath, she was Dutch — purely, legally, unquestionably Dutch. No competing allegiance. No threat to her royal destiny. The lawyers closed their books. The doctors smiled.
And then, as quietly as it had vanished, the room became Canadian again.
The war ended. Holland was liberated. And the Dutch Royal Family didn't just say thank you — they said it in a language that would outlive everyone who spoke it.
In 1945, 100,000 tulip bulbs arrived in Ottawa. Not as decoration. As gratitude made tangible.
But one shipment wasn't enough to express what Canada had done. So they kept sending them. Every single year since 1945, the Dutch Royal Family sends 20,000 more bulbs to the Canadian capital.
Today, if you walk through Ottawa every May, you'll find over three million tulips blazing along the Rideau Canal, flooding through Commissioners Park, turning the city into rivers of crimson, gold, and violet. Most people who stop to take photos have no idea they're standing in the middle of a thank-you note that's been growing for eight decades.
Princess Margriet is 83 now. She still makes the journey to Ottawa during tulip season, walking through gardens that exist because she was once born in a room that legally didn't.
Some acts of kindness become gardens. Some thank-yous outlive everyone who gave them.
And some flowers bloom forever.
@ClownWorld I would deduct the 18% “so called” service charge as well as the tax amount. Never tip on the tax I would then add a tip of 20% on the balance , which is the actual cost of the customers’ order
BREAKING: Trump's nemesis Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney scores a massive election victory and secures a majority government — proving that the world is starving for sane leadership.
This is going to drive Trump up the wall...
“Mark Carney entered the political arena about 15 months ago, but he is proving himself to be an astute politician,” said Daniel Béland, a political-science professor at McGill University. “He remains popular nearly a year after leading his party to victory in late April 2025 and, with the help of a series of floor-crossings, he is now at the helm of a majority government that provides more stability and greater capacity to move forward with his economic and policy agenda.”
The candidates running from Carney's Liberal Party won big during a round of special election last night, winning two parliamentary districts with a third projected win in sight. Thanks to these results, Carney will be able to remain in power until at least 2029, outlasting Trump's presidency.
Carney was able to get elected over his conservative opponent originally in part because of backlash against the Trump presidency. Canadians were infuriated about the calls to make their country the "51st state" and voted accordingly.
Since becoming prime minister, Carney has boldly held the line against Trump. He has condemned his illegal Iran War as a "failure of the international order" and urged immediate deescalation, strong words from the leader of America's closest ally.
In January, Carney made waves around the world — and ruffled MAGA feathers — by declaring at the World Economic Forum that American global dominance is ending because "this bargain no longer works." He outlined how the destabilizing effects of the Trump presidency are rewriting the global power structure. Canada will now look to other nations to build their prosperity, relying less on the United States which is always just one bad election away from another Trump.
Clearly, Carney's vision of the future has struck a chord with Canadians. While he's leading them towards prosperity and a new era within the global community, Trump is dragging our country into a new dark age.
Please ❤️ and share to congratulate Mark Carney!
@ThrillaRilla369 I actually print out the confirmation email.
When I get my credit card statement, I then check it against the printout to ensure that I am being charged exactly what I should be. Cannot be too careful these days.

Its the language of the United States, not America. Even then, Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. Its population is greater than 5 US states combined & every Puerto Rican is a citizen. Puerto Rican culture is one of the many cultures in the US. It shouldnt be swept under the rug.
During my service in Iraq I was wounded serving the country I love.
Now, I’m running to end the chaos, crush corruption, and cut costs for Floridians.
Because when you love something, you fight for it.

RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen against Trump!
I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.
I stepped up when my country needed a soldier, I reported corruption at the highest levels of government, and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.
BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.
“Streets of Minneapolis”.
He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.
Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can
@cspotweet This is too funny. I’m in Montreal and went out to do my grocery shopping Tuesday morning when it was -17°C, not taking into account the windchill factor
