The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It occurs to me that, while Ukraine is fighting a proxy war for Europe, Minneapolis is fighting on behalf of all of North America. What on earth did they ever do to deserve the treatment they are receiving?

Will someone please adopt this dog! I live in Canada or I would do it myself. I can’t believe she has been in the shelter for so long.

"Standing in the way of the US president's historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

For some time now I have sought comfort in animal pictures and videos. Watching the amusing antics and unexpected intelligence of pets gave me solace, and the kindness of people rescuing wild creatures restored my faith in humanity. Now that much of this content is AI generated it no longer works.

I am a Canadian and I won’t buy US products, but we are well served by BTPB. I have doubled my monthly contribution.

American friends,
I used to listen to NPR while commuting by car, to learn your language.
Public media that reports the truth & stays independent is critical now.
Are you a regular contributor? If not, will you consider helping?

For years he has been complaining that other NASA countries aren’t spending enough on their militaries. I wonder if that one will bite him in the ass?

What the actual f*ck!?
🧵Happy new year. No I'm not gonna give it a rest...bc Democracy. The official homeland security acct posted this on X (yes I sourced it). To be clear, this would be ~1/3 of the US population (what would that do to the economy) and would be inclusive of MANY US citizens.

Well, that one is over. Can 2026 possibly be any worse? Good luck world! Especially USA, and Ukraine, and Gaza, and Venezuela, and Somalia, and Yemen, and Greenland, Oh, and us, Canada. I missed a few but you get my drift.

When my children were small we always made sure that the only presents from Santa (aka Father Christmas) could fit in a large sock. No Santa gifts under the tree. If my kid got a bicycle from Santa and someone else’s got play-doe, what message does that send?

Yesterday someone suggested that I volunteer to help the homeless because it brings me closer to God. Why can’t it be because it brings me closer to humanity? Why do Christians always assume that only they have charity?

What a lot of people on the internet don't seem to realise is that a vital part of reading between the lines is also reading the actual lines.

What shocks me is not that the approval rating of the current POTUS is “only” 35% (or 41%, depending what you read). But that more than a third of US citizens still think that he is doing a good job.

I can only hope that the only reason that they haven’t yet exercised the 25th is because they are working on impeachment for treason (article II sec.4) thereby getting rid of the lot of them.
