A MUST WATCH video

In the 28 pt peace plan, Russia is demanding NATO not expand - ever, Ukraine cap its military at 1/2 what it is now, the US gets the frozen RU assets yo rebuild Ukraine, but the US gets a 50% kickbacks US says RU can rejoin the G8, as if the other G7 have no say!

Garbage!
Trump's 28-point "peace plan" is just Russia's capitulation demands repackaged once again. The only real difference is Trump is now demanding to make a profit from the deal.

The F-35 evaluation in Canada started in 2017 and was finally decided in 2022,
- the Gripen finished 2nd
- a GREAT deal has changed Geopolitically and Economically since that decision.

Is he a lobbyist for Lockheed Martin?

When rage is the bait, truth is the threat.

Poilievre’s “Maple MAGA” routine runs on rage, misinfo & lies — but even his own voters are starting to tune out. His favourability’s dropped 12 pts in 5 months.

That’s why they’re desperate to kill the CBC — facts ruin the grift.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

A Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia Thursday evening killed five people and injured eight.

At least five apartment buildings were damaged, and several shopping pavilions were destroyed.

The US President is NOT the Leader of the Free World!!

The media and Americans should stop saying that phrase.

Americans have fewer freedoms within their own country than people in other countries ...
(except for guns = Mass shootings instead of universal health care)

The Epstein Survivors have issued a new statement in which they plead for a full disclosure of the files and express their fears as most of them received death threats.
Please take a moment to read their message. Let’s all give them a sound support.

No friends with kids? Make a friend—preferably one who comes with kids to expedite the operation—and start reading!

It is imperative that children are read to ☝️

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

This is dangerous & disappointing.

To the six Democratic lawmakers who made that beautiful video reminding our military members of their duty and obligation to NOT obey illegal orders, I say this:

Make MORE of them.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.

“I woke up this morning, I’m in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom – she’s got her phone. She goes, ‘Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.’ I was like, ‘Oh,’ and then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids. Trump is a snowflake.”

It’s a pattern.

Nov 14, aboard Air Force One, Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”

It’s not new. He called Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”

He’s called women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.”

This from 2016…

DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Oregon National Guard General Alan Gronewold:

“Yes, if you give an order that directs a soldier to commit a criminal act, they should disobey that."

The only person who thinks the contrary is a 34-count convicted felon, who wouldn't pay himself for the crime committed by the soldier.
