Maybe the orange felon has given up on the Nobel peace prize, and wants a prize for the most wars started. 2/2

The demented despot is now able to declare war on a sovereign country, completely unchecked. Where are the guardrails to protect democracy? Where in Congress ? Where is your constitution ?

Venezuela is a sovereign country. trump did not get approval from Congress for this act of war. The constitution and all other guardrails seem to have been removed. It is time for the people to reclaim their democracy and remove the demented despot.

In 2025, one of the first steps we took as Canada’s new government was to cut taxes for the middle class. This year, millions of Canadians will benefit — helping you keep more of your hard-earned paycheques.

Looks good on Evil Elon. 😊

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen. The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment. Join us: meidasplus.com

Colombian President Gustavo Petro:

The Nova Scotian conservative government has made a few anti-democratic missteps. This article by Wendy Elliott highlights one regarding taking away universities’ independence. Only a fool would not take a lesson from our southern neighbours on that. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Talk yes. But do Something about It

Perilous 😳

What to expect from year two of the American war? 1. More chaos. 2. Bad faith. Trump's word means as little as Putin's. 3. Resilience. Canadians understand the mission. 4. An overt threat to Canada? We shall see. But we shall hold the line. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pd0...

This needs to be embedded in #OttCity planning; no more “consulting” or “balance” but taken at face value: build bike lanes, proper bike lanes, and maintain them in all our urban areas, traditional main streets etc.

The editorial board of the @nytimes.com speaks rather clearly about the neofascist criminal Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist. When he finally shows up, they vote him into office. Twice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So the editorial board of @theglobeandmail.com is griping about shortened sessions at our multitude of legislative bodies. But nary a word about the nihilist strategies of the likes of petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre and his braying band of hyenas who give every incentive to speed things up. 🤔

We held our own in year one. We will hold again in year two. But we must be ready for whatever they throw at us. Charlie Angus Elbow up! open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

Good morning my Wonderful Bluesky Friends! Canada has some great things coming this year. NSF fees capped at $10 from $50 is going to really help low income earners. Coupled with a tax break and auto tax filing, more $ will be left in the bank. Let's Do This! 🇨🇦❤️💙❤️🇨🇦 www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Little more need be said about Donald Trump’s Golden Age of Awful as delineated in this perfect @newyorker.com piece. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Trump's health surges back into focus with new reporting. Millions more Epstein docs suddenly are "found" as focus turns to Mar-a-Lago as Epstein's trafficking hub. The inauguration of Mayor Mamdani. And more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

From one master to another:

BREAKING: Storied CBS News (late of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite) announces its rebranding as Orbán News Now, taking orders from the fascist Trump.

Provably true.

James: I defend the rights of New Yorkers—that’s my job each and every day, without fear and without favor—and that’s what Zohran will do, joining with me against any overreach.

AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .

The American people will need to decide.
