Wow! Did the #BlueJays ever need that one! Good old baseball….

At least there’s now the @tempobasketball.bsky.social They know how to win!

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

I have been warning about how Donbas Danielle and the MAGA machine are working to break up our nation. Russian and MAGA interference is rife. The election list of voters has been stolen by the far right. Canada needs to take this threat very seriously www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Only in the NHL do they start the second round before the first round is over.

Appears that COPE Vancouver has decided Stephanie Allen will be their mayoral candidate this October. Allen is a former VP for BC Housing and co-founder of the Hogan's Alley Society, and joins five other opposition candidates trying to unseat Ken Sim for mayor. Formal announcement likely tomorrow.

This is excellent! A must read….there is no blame if the owners just want to sell the #Whitecaps

Pope Leo's right hand is Cardinal Czerny. I knew him in Riverdale. He used to come to our punk shows to discuss grassroots activism. We met in a biker bar. He married my wife and I and was sent to El Salvador to defy the death squads after they murdered the Jesuit leaders. He is the real deal.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
