Doug Ford is having a bad time.
His luxury jet purchase blew up in his face. His scandals keep piling up.
So he shut down the legislature for 102 days.
While Ontarians struggle with grocery prices – the Premier is hiding.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

🚨 BREAKING: ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi confirms the White House directly intervened to force the Pentagon to give a record-breaking loan to a startup just 3 months after Don Jr. invested in it.
The Trump administration is looting the country!
If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.
Trump threatened Canada’s economy, mocked our sovereignty, talked about annexation jokes, and disrespected Canadians repeatedly.
Then they act confused when Canadians push back?
No Pete, Canadians didn’t suddenly “rally against America” for no reason.
People are reacting to arrogance, disrespect, and constant attacks from Trump.
If you can’t understand that, then you can absolutely pound sand 🇨🇦
Lt. Bone Spurs dodged the draft, failed over a dozen businesses, declared bankruptcy six times, became president anyway, called veterans losers and suckers, and has now fallen asleep during public ceremonies at least 3 times! #Winning
Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers on January 6th.
Now he wants to pay them with a nearly $2 billion slush fund using taxpayer money.
Everyone involved in this crooked scheme will be held accountable.
The DOJ just said the IRS will no longer pursue any claims it may have against Trump, his family members and his companies over unpaid taxes.
Pure. Unadulterated. Corruption.
And self-dealing.
The tax-dodging President gets himself and his whole family a tax break, thanks to Todd Blanche.
Trump looting almost $2 billion from the government coffers to pay his supporters is one of the largest scandals in US history.
But our press is so beaten down and the public has become so fatigued by his constant criminality that it's barely a news story.
Our country is at war and what is the Secretary of Defense doing with his time and our tax dollars?
Traveling to the state of Kentucky to campaign against an incumbent Republican because he demanded the release of the Epstein files Donald Trump is named in.
As a reporter, I'm so disappointed by the men of the White House press corps. They let Trump constantly bully women reporters. In sports, we stood up 4 each other. I once got into a brawl w/ a U Miami ass't coach over the sexist way he treated a female writer. Grow a pair!
Doug Ford mocked students for taking “basket-weaving courses” and blowing OSAP money on “luxury watches and colognes.”
A new report shows less than 1% of OSAP funds were misused.
Less. Than. 1%.
He invented a crisis to cut student aid – then pulled $30 million from people’s pockets to buy himself a luxury private jet.
I’ll keep fighting this government until the cuts to OSAP are reversed.
Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.
I did not spend nine months investigating this to watch the public suddenly pretend this story is over.
The Epstein files are still being withheld in their entirety.
That is the story.
These people never take responsibility for anything. Spirit has lost over $2.5 billion over the last several years. Joe Biden didn’t cause them to run a shitty, unprofitable airline. Then they got hit with soaring jet fuel costs from Trump’s war.
