How does one get added to a starter pack of introverted, insecure neurotics?

Nah, never mind. I'm not worthy of being added to a starter pack. And I'm worried that people might start interacting with me if I do get added to one.

I ask myself every day how the hell did Americans elect that moron as their president?

"I won't go to Argentina because I wouldn't look good on the beach," the President of the United States.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Extrajudicial, extra-territorial executions. What could possible go wrong?

Christianity: God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent.

Eric Trump: We're saving God.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Probably not. We’ll see.

The “president of peace” renamed the department of defense to the department of war and is sending ICE goons to terrorize and kidnap people in American cities.

Peace abroad? Maybe. Peace in his own country? Not so much.

Oh, yes. You really have to worry about the dancing frogs, dinosaurs and other inflatable creatures getting radical and violent. The horror. The horror.

Joel's Journeys & Jaunts

Joel's Journeys and Jaunts is a travel journal—travel blog, if you will—of my various trips around the world. BTW, I don't use any AI to write it because I don't travel virtually.

Sorry to hear that. So far, nothing. But I’m still concerned. Hopefully, the article didn’t get much play or the people who are likely to attack me aren’t on Bluesky. I’ll see. Or, hopefully, not.

What a vain little man the president of the United States is.

Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦 @joel.klebanoff.com · 19h

Yeah, the last thing I want is social media fame. I’m sure there’s nothing illegal with them publishing something I posted under my name in the public domain. But I just as soon they didn’t.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad.

While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

📌During his campaign in 2015, Trump said he would replace Obamacare with, quote: "something terrific, phenomenal and fantastic" that would "save money and result in better health care."
Ten years later, he's still got nuthin' and has decided to kill the entire United States government instead.
