I understand why people feel this way, but it's actually quite sad to think that most people have more confidence in Quarter Pounders with Cheese than they do the Congress of the United States. I hope that I and others can rectify this in the fall. georgeconwayforcongress.com

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

"And the worst thing about it is American credibility, not just in dealing with the Iranian regime, but to the entire world—basically we show that Trump is incompetent, he is capricious, he's completely erratic, and he's basically psychotic. He … has no conception of reality."

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

Ford government announces today new $29M government jet to be leased to Therme Spas for 99 years for 12 dollars.

Is anyone in the Trump administration not a drunk, a junky, a predator or a psycho?

The Strait of Hormuz.

NDP calls for a ban on surveillance pricing at grocery stores in Canada “The practice involves companies using personal data to determine how much customers are willing to pay, and charge different prices for the same products.”

The US is the actual killing machine. Vietnam, Chile and many other Latin American countries, Iraq, Gaza now Iran (also Iran coup by Shah, supporting Iraq invasion of Iran). Also well before First Nations, Philippines, Mexico, Cuba etc

Trump whoops I mean Ford also wants public money to make Toronto Island airport accept jets so he could save 30 minutes getting chauffeured to Pearson and get to his cottage faster.

So he called Tesla. His first question: when does FSD come to HW3 cars? Tesla’s answer: “No information about when it comes, or if it comes at all.” Not when. If. Tesla told him he paid for “the full self-drive capability.” As he pointed out, that’s what’s on his 2019 invoice — “capability.” /1

The Doug Ford Grift: A $29 Million Gravy Plane & The Death of Public Healthcare Ford is out of control. Defunded hospitals, a 28.9 million dollar luxury jet, and deleted phone records. It is time to rein in this super-majority. #cdnpoli theplanetdemocracy.substack.com/p/the-doug-f...

www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n... USA negotiations will be led by Whitkof and Kushner - one beholden to Putin and the other beholden to Israel and the Saudis. Both failures with little experience or credibility.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... Way too many Americans continue to support Trump who hasn’t done anything to support the economy and reduce prices. Tax cuts to the ultra wealthy are hurting the average person as the deficit is exploding.

www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/donn... There is no sane washing Trump’s threats to destroy the Iranian civilization hinting use of (unsaid) nuclear weapons.

www.juancole.com/2026/04/merc... Iran fired on ships because Trump broke the ceasefire by blockading Iranian shipping.

Wonder why Trump keeps sabotaging negotiations? I bet Putin knows.

How interesting that 'the pope' of American apocalyptic white Christian nationalism never goes to church on Sunday morning but instead picks that time to tweet out genocidal threats to kill millions of people

So many racist people in the US.

Trump just said: “Unfortunately, we will have to start dropping bombs again”… He has no idea what he’s doing.

balloon-juice.com/2026/04/18/o... Elons ev business is way over valued as sales decline and no new models on the horizon. The robots, ride share/ taxis, his tunnels are all vapourware. Space X is even worse-trillion plus for a company with less than $40 billion in revenue losing $6 billion a year

BREAKING NEWS: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps says the Strait of Hormuz will remain shut until the United States ends its blockade.

They told the Pope he doesn’t understand the Bible and then they quoted Pulp Fiction.

Israel always break the ceasefires they (pretend) to agree to.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

🇮🇷 Iranian protesters violantly attacked by the government Oh, sorry, wrong video. 🇮🇱 It's the self-described "only democracy in the Middle East" bashing 100s of anti-war protestors chanting slogans against Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Saturday to protest the war with Iran

Reform has fallen to 15% in Scotland — their lowest in over a year. They've lost their national lead for the first time. Neil Kinnock called them a "posh boys club" with "no design, no practical plan." Their flagship council is a "horror show." Is the bubble bursting? Let's hope so 🙏

People who go on about how Carney has stolen a majority and it is somehow illegitimate should look at the current popular sentiment expressed as a seat count if an election were held today. #cdnpoli

www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/trum... Trump announces strait is open and then says US will not open up strait for Iranian ships and then of course Iran closes strait. Reminder of Trump’s tariffs on tariffs off tariffs on tariffs off cycle of chaos.

www.juancole.com/2026/04/leba... Israel always breaks their ceasefires, their peace agreements. Look at Gaza where they continue to bomb and kill civilians every day despite Trump’s peace agreement that Israel signed.

cathiefromcanada.blogspot.com/2026/04/note... Poilievre continues to bash Canada while living rent free in a government paid mansion with government paid chef, nanny, cleaners etc. Meanwhile Carney continues to reduce Canada’s reliance on trade with a hostile USA.

www.juancole.com/2026/04/stra... And one of the conditions to reopen the strait was the Trump blockade would also end. Trump didn’t end his blockade of Iranian ports so Iran shut down the strait.

www.ianwelsh.net/brief-strait... Trumps blockade results in Iran closing the strait again.

Lebanese News Israel continues with their ethnic cleansing op in southern Lebanon

We’re getting ready for a massive day of economic disruption on May Day. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

Israel is desperately spending a fortune conflating anti war, anti genocide, anti Zionism, as antisemitism. This may have worked decades ago, but after 2.5 years of war crimes against humanity, and alarms from the UN, only a small percent of people fall for this. Also time’s up on AIPAC and Bibi.

The American charm offensive continues. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick attacked Canada’s trade strategy on Friday, saying, “They suck.” #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Sounds like a maga. @canadasky1.bsky.social
