Trump really has no ‘friends’. But if you think about it, Jeffrey Epstein was about as it got for Trump having an actual friend. They shared many of the same interests.

The ruling class’s strategy to maintain their control of the majority. 1. Corral all the money. 2. Make everything about money.

What a neighbor! Who would want to reside in a country next to Israel? They bomb everybody “Israel on Sunday struck Lebanon’s capital for the first time since June … The strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs killed five people and wounded 25 others, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.”

The recent G20 summit in South Africa (which Donald Trump boycotted) is revealing a major reorganization of world trade is clearly underway. Trading deals are being initiated at the summit that go around the US tariff system. The US will be the big loser as countries seek new trade partners.

No surprise here. Trumped up charges. “A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday. “The judge found that the appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia, was invalid.“

Robert Reich’s proposal to get rid of Citizen’s United: “Individual states — either through their legislators or their citizens wielding ballot initiatives — have the authority to limit corporate political activity and dark money spending.” “It will be on the ballot next November in Montana.”

Elon Musk pulled off one of the greatest robberies in history when he downloaded all the data from government departments under the cover of DOGE. Data is modern day gold. “The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has been officially disbanded.”

No surprise. We found the fraud Turning Point carping about. Turning Point USA leader, the former GOP state Rep Austin Smith has plead guilty to attempted election fraud in Arizona, after he was caught submitting fake signatures in his reelection campaign.

“the weakly worded assurance that ‘Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees’ from the U.S. will mean little to Ukrainians who remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which saw Ukraine give up its Soviet era nuclear arsenal in exchange for guarantees from Russia, the U.S. and Britain.”

Asking Ukraine to virtually disarm in the US proposed peace deal is a non starter: “In 2014/15 Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreements which froze the proxy war between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed fighters in the Donbas region … 7 years later, Putin attacked again, with more force than ever.”

Democrats are up 14 points in the generic ballot test. If elections were held today, who would you vote for in your district, a Republican or a Democrat? Fifty-five percent in this poll said a Democrat, 41% said a Republican. In Marist polls, that's the biggest lead since 2017. -NPR

An ethics complaint has been filed against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of serious professional misconduct, including pressuring Justice Department lawyers to prioritize political objectives over ethical obligations.

How about a campaign promise to reform the power of the President to unilaterally grant pardons? I’m not sure what it would take to enact it but it sure sounds like a winner with the electorate to me. Juice it up with an additional promise to undo all of Trump’s pardons.

“Trump has spent years touting trade deals with imaginary investments and impossible commitments … he claimed the European Union had agreed to buy $250 billion in American energy imports—a figure not only three times their then-current level, but one that U.S. producers couldn’t physically supply.”

Also, check out @jmcelroy.bsky.social 's budget story on CBC News Vancouver. As usual, he digs deep into the numbers. VPD budget 2022: $349.6 million 2026: $497.1 million. His story is here: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Besties!

The 23,000 e-mails released so far by the US House Oversight Committee have been compiled into a searchable database. The name that appears most frequently in the e-mails? Donald Trump. journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

It’s one of the few ‘hoaxes’ in history to have US legislation backing it up.

Have everybody forgotten to follow the money in the Epstein scandal? How did Epstein get so wealthy as to own several estates, a private jet and an island hideaway? Where did the money come from? Names.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

Couple of frame grabs from the Province's Highway 99 Tunnel Program page. It's been a brutal week for people trying to get through the tunnel. The province says we'll have a new, 8-lane tunnel sometime in 2030. You'll be going 80k!

Not going well for Trump. Presidential approval polling as of Nov 20, 2025. NY Times.

“In 2020, nearly all new trucks in China ran on diesel. By the first half of 2025, battery-powered trucks accounted for 22% of new heavy truck sales, up from 9.2% in the same period in 2024. Research firm BMI forecasts electric trucks will reach nearly 46% of new sales this year and 60% next year.”

Good one! Also I understand Trump’s healthcare plan should be released in two weeks so we have that to look forward to as well.

A Fox News poll found 76% of voters view the economy negatively … majorities of Republicans told pollsters that their groceries (85%), health care (67%), housing (66%) and utility costs (78%) have spiked this year. Trump told a summit of McDonald’s franchise owners that “ prices are coming down.”

Every day, in every way, crazier and crazier. Trump won’t stop. He needs to be stopped.

It IS the system that rewards parasites that needs to be destroyed.

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible. But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

We’ll be hearing a lot more like this: “An AI bot listened in on a meeting of physicians at an Ontario hospital and sent details about the patients they discussed to dozens of current and former hospital employees, some of whom should not have had access to the information”.

!!WARNING!! There are reports that a man was lurking behind a curtain at the recent budget vote in the HOC in Ottawa. Witnesses have provided a police artist with a description of the lurker. People are warned to alert authorities immediately if you spot him. #cdnpoli

Trump’s father Fred Trump had Alzheimer’s. “Alzheimer's can be hereditary and all of the signs are clearly there. Donald Trump is falling asleep in the Oval Office, confusing himself while he's speaking, mixing up people's names, and making increasingly deranged and nonsensical remarks.”

Terrific

How is it possible that Pam Bondi has anything to do with the Epstein investigation? She should recuse herself. She was the Attorney- General of Florida as the whole Epstein mess unfolded and the dirty plea deal with Epstein was cut. She is linked to the coverup.

The outer fortifications of Fort Epstein have been overwhelmed and the defenders of Troop Trump have now retreated to their final line of defense.

Donald Trump on the killing of Jamal Khashoggi: “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him,” Mr. Trump told reporters, with Mr. bin Salman sitting beside him. “Things happened, but he knew nothing about it.”

That’s 4 invocations of Notwithstanding Clause for Danielle Smith within a month, with this these of transgender policy bills set to stand regardless of the Charter rights they violate. The premier mused about Alberta behaving more like Quebec in Confederation. This is one way to do it.

Pam Bondi was the Attorney General of Florida during the Epstein years. When he was openly abusing girls. When Epstein was given a sweetheart state deal to prevent him being prosecuted on federal charges. When he “and others” were given immunity.

Give it up, Donald. You were besties.

“Some of the people being looked at very seriously for their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. But they were with him all the time. I wasn't. I wasn't at all uh... What I just don't want, uh, Epstein to do is, uh, detract from the great success of the Republican Party." -Donald Trump

We could lose 1/3 of our farms by next year and farmer suicides are through the roof.

Hey Americans, the Canadian government survived a confidence vote on their budget tonight. When our Parliament (elected representatives) loses confidence in our government, we can actually terminate the government. Immediately. You might want to look into that.

Eliyahu Weinstein, a convicted Ponzi schemer whose 24-year prison term was commuted by President Donald Trump in 2021 was sentenced to another 37 years behind bars for defrauding investors who believed their money was buying Covid-19 masks, baby formula and first-aid kits bound for Ukraine.

Well which is it? Does the US have a trade deal with China as Trump keeps touting or not? Sometimes it’s yes and sometimes no depending on what suits the moment.

“The Trump Administration is finally admitting publicly what we’ve all known from the start: Trump’s Trade War is hiking costs on people. “Since implementing these tariffs, inflation has increased and manufacturing has contracted month after month.” -Richard Neal, House Ways and Means Committee

Forget the MRI. The one test that Trump needs to take is a lie detector test. First question: did you ever knowingly have sex with underage girls? Second question: was Jeffrey Epstein murdered?

On the eve of the Grey Cup game, I am not very happy with the CFL plans to more ‘Americanize’ the game by shortening the playing field and moving the goalposts. Don’t need it. Bad idea. Just like bringing in a US performer for half time. Tone deaf.
