And today is another day of you coming across as an unhinged asshole. I fucking had such high hopes for Canadaland but was so disappointed in what it became.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
Canadian Major Paeta Derek.
Reported to his wife that the IDF was targeting hospitals.
Days later, he was murdered by the IDF with a precision-guided missile.
May he rest in peace.
Here is what actually happened in Montreal: A gunman opened fire on police outside a hotel in Côte-des-Neiges. He killed Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, seriously wounded another officer and was then shot dead by police.
Michel Mizrahi, a 68-year-old civilian, was caught in the crossfire. The investigation into whose bullet killed him remains ongoing.
Authorities concluded that this was not a terrorist attack. Police indicated that Montreal’s Jewish community and Chabad were not deliberately targeted. The gunman reportedly left behind a manifesto steeped in incel grievance, misogyny and hostility toward police.
You would know none of that from these posts.
@LizzySavetsky announced that a Jewish man had been “murdered by a terrorist.” @RabbiPoupko declared that “terror struck” a Jewish neighbourhood. @Saul_Sadka went further and simply invented that Chabad had been targeted, then blamed “IRGC propagandists.”
They straight lied.
They took the fact that Mizrahi was Jewish and died near Jewish institutions, then manufactured the rest: the target, the motive and the political enemy.
They wanted an 'Islamist' terror story. They wanted a Muslim, Palestinian or Iranian villain they could blame before anyone even knew what had happened.
Why are these people so thirsty to portray their own community as the target of murderous violence?
Because the imagined attack gives them political ammunition. It allows them to inflame Jewish fear, demonize Muslims and Palestinians, and smear their ideological enemies—all while pretending to speak in the language of grief
Diabolical.
SCOOP: I obtained Edmonton police a chief Warren Driechel’s itinerary and other documents from his February 2026 trip to Israel.
@mbueckert from @CJPME says it’s “much worse than any of us expected.”
The last e-mails of Canadian Major Paeta Derek to his wife before IDF soldiers murdered him in 2006:
“Yesterday I witnessed an [Israeli] attack helicopter fire missiles at a local school and destroy a brand new hospital.”
"She is banned [from entering] the United States! She cannot use a bank card! She cannot use a debit card! She cannot receive a payment!"
*Crowd cheers*
"After she was sanctioned, we got her husband … he was demoted from his position at the World Bank for incitement to hate!"
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former FBI informant pleaded guilty on Monday to lying about a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter that became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
What now FOX?
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong.
It's not relief -- it's a factual correction of deranged attempt (by Mulroney and Brown, among others) to hijack this horrific crime to justify their bigoted ethnonationalism. It's obscene for Brown to evoke either the Jewish civilian or the Muslim cop, he clearly care about none of the human costs except as a pretext for protecting the Israeli state from legitimate criticism.
Toni McBride (below), is an LAPD cop who killed Daniel Hernandez in mental health crisis in 2018. Her sister Jacqueline McBride, LAPD cop, just killed a woman in Rampart. They are the 2 killer daughters of cop union mafia boss Jamie McBride who himself was involved in 6 shootings
Then why did your boss commute the 20 year prison sentence of Philip Esformes, the Florida health care executive convicted of a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, after just 14 months served?
Why had he pardoned more than 70 fraudsters?
Elon Musk Wants Me in Prison. I Want Him Under Oath. The richest man in the world announced that he plans to sue me and called for my arrest. I will not be intimidated.

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation.
This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal.
The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.
