I’m a sixty something guy with 20 odd years experience in medical ultrasound and 20 odd years experience in medical equipment sales. Now quite happily retired.
I live happily on a small lake in eastern Ontario Canada with my wife and one dog named Alice.

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

If we should remain a democracy three or seven year hence, our success will be used to discredit us: If democracy survives, then that is proof that it was never under threat in the first place.

Anyone who with manners and good mental health would apologize for an appalling statement making two tragic murders all about himself.

Donald is not such a person.

He's always been a clueless sociopath who thought selfish, wicked things. Now there is no filter to stop him from expressing them.
Q: “A number of Republicans have denounced your statement about Rob Reiner’s murder. Do you stand by that?”

TRUMP: “He was a deranged person… I was not a fan… I thought he was very bad for our country…”

*mentions Reiner’s beliefs about Trump and Russia in particular* 🤔

Danish intelligence accuses US of using economic power to ‘assert its will’ over allies.

Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance.

Europe needs closer economic & military cooperation.

The US also listed as a threat due to its growing interest in Greenland, which is vital to America’s national security

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.

There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.

Trump isn’t hiding the hypocrisy: blowing up vessels and people to fight the drug war while pardoning a drug kingpin who facilitated tons upon tons of cocaine to enter the US…
Trump announces a “full and unconditional” pardon for Juan Orlando Hernandez, a former president of Honduras sentenced to 45 years for drug trafficking and weapons offenses.
