Democrat supporters who will never say anything bad about democrats are laser focused on calling us cult worshippers.
The left always projects accusingotgers if doing what they are doing exactly

I don't see the rationale of Trump officially renaming Lake Ontario. Two people can look at the same thing and see two different things .

The left think it's more elite than others. Obama claimed he is the smartest person in the room .

I criticize Obama because he is a Muslim sympathiser ,screwed up the middle east and did virtually zero for Africa. Your type people here lack the capability to see anything wrong with him.

Epstein handwritten notes to prosecutors days before his death

NYT We obtained about a dozen pages of other notes handwritten by Epstein in jail that were also previously unseen — including some in which he tried and failed to come up with significant information he might have on Donald Trump to offer to prosecutors," the report stated........
"His attorneys discussed with federal prosecutors the prospect of a proffer: giving them information that might be useful in other cases in exchange for the possibility of some leniency in his own. Epstein was particularly preoccupied with what he might have on Donald Trump, who was then serving his first term in office. Jotting on a legal pad, he returned to the president again and again, trying to dredge up anything to offer prosecutors. But his scribblings — 'Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors' and 'Never had money'— suggest that he could come up with little that wasn’t already known
....Jotting on a legal pad, he returned to the president again and again, trying to dredge up anything to offer prosecutors," the report stated.


Days before his death prosecutors led by Maureen, James Coney daughter were clearly trying to get him implicate Trump.

Epstein couldn't come up with anything,you know better than him.

This is for Hamas lovers.

USAID WATCHDOG: OVER 100 UNRWA STAFFERS REFERRED FOR H*MAS ROLES IN THE OCTOBER 7 MASSACRET

The federal government just put a number on something the U.N. spent two years downplaying. USAID's Office of Inspector General announced this week that it has referred more than 100 current or former employees of UNRWA — the U.N.'s Palestinian refugee agency — to the State Department over their roles in the October 7 attacks on Israel.

Three of those referrals are recommended for full debarment. One of them is a former UNRWA school teacher the inspector general says was also a Hmas operative who allegedly received and personally held Israeli civilian hostages starting the day of the massacre.

A separate case, involving an UNRWA school principal accused of coordinating communications with other suspected Hmas members during the attack, has already resulted in one full debarment.
This builds on an earlier USAID finding from March that identified 14 UNRWA employees with H*mas links — a number that has now grown more than sevenfold as investigators keep digging through an agency the Trump administration shut down last year.

More referrals to the State Department, and potential criminal referrals to the Justice Department, are still coming.

For years, UNRWA and its defenders insisted October 7 involvement was the work of a handful of bad actors, not the institution. A three-digit referral count from a U.S. federal watchdog says otherwise — these weren't outside infiltrators. They were on the agency's own payroll, teaching in its own classrooms.


USA had been the main funders of UNRWA.
I have to sneak in Obama evil machinations and anti semitism.

Obama's Last Day (January 2017): Former Secretary of State John Kerry formally notified Congress of the $221 million release just hours before Donald Trump was inaugurated. The move bypassed unbinding holds previously placed on the funds by congressional Republicans.
Obama gave them $221 million in his last few hours in office

Trump's Revocation (2017–2018): The incoming Trump administration immediately froze the $221 million transfer to review it. Following this, Donald Trump significantly reduced aid and completely eliminated all U.S. funding to UNRWA in August 2018 (the U.S. had previously been UNRWA's largest single donor, providing roughly $364 million annually)

.Biden's Restoration (April 2021): The Biden administration restored $235 million in total aid to the Palestinians. Out of this package, $150 million was directly allocated to UNRWA, while the remaining portions went toward economic, development, and peacebuilding programs in the West Bank and Gaza.



Trump signed off permanent cut to UNRWA on Feb 4,2025.

Hamas has been armed,trained and supported by the Iranian regime..
Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion in cash ensured Iranians could continue funding Hamas
In December 2016 Obama abstained from voting for UN Security Council Resolution 2334 . He should have vetoed it like all Presidents before him.
Part of the resolution was a declaration that the 2nd Temple wall was built by Muslims ... Not exactly..... That the wall Mazar e Shariff was a Muslim shrine. The Muslims claim they built a wall which existed before anyone had ever heard of the word Islam.

You are so good at avoiding nuance and the full picture.

Darline Graham is Lindsey Graham's sister. Lindsey is the former senator. She was APPOINTED to her brother's seat when he died.

Now, she won a primary and you are shouting that Trump is a boss. Keep in mind that she already had name recognition from her brother.

Also remember that there is still a battle for the seat against a democrat, even though the state of South Carolina is very republican.

Those brands are manufactured in China with a CE , IEC or UL rating for Western markets. Better quality than what Africa gets of the same. Many products have similar sounding names ,cheap fake knockoffs.

Before China you were assured the appliances manufactured in the West were top notch
I just picked a few western companies whose products are considered the gold standard in quality.

Were you trying to advise someone who regularly buys specific imported brands of commercial products by any chance?

A majority of Black and Decker tools are manufactured in China.

Russell Hobbs blenders are primarily manufactured in China.

Philips Iron Boxes are manufactured primarily in China.

80% of all iPhones - Pro and Pro Max models are manufactured in China.

In fact, we discovered only lately that most high quality high-fashion accessories from Hermes, Fendi, et al have all actually been made in China this whole time with only name tagging occurring in respective brand countries.

You see? The quality you crave is mostly obtainable in China. China is a manufacturing hub for all quality profiles. You will find what you are looking for.

I'll bloviate over this USPS having its own list to crosscheck whom democrat want to send mail in ballots to.
An X user wrote.

The new mail-in ballot procedure isn’t something to be afraid of. It works like this:

1. The state provides a list of the ballots they intend to mail out.

2. USPS assigns a unique barcode to each.

3. When the ballot is mailed out, this barcode is scanned to ensure uniqueness and that it matches. If there is no match or it’s a duplicate, it is not delivered.

4. When the voter mails the ballot back, the USPS scans it again and checks to make sure it matches what went out and isn’t a duplicate. Any ballots that don’t match won’t be delivered.

5. This is all done on the exterior envelope. The USPS isn’t determining eligibility or deciding who gets a ballot. They can’t see the actual votes. They are essentially just ensuring there are no duplicates, that the number mailed in isn’t greater than the number mailed out, and that the person mailing one in was the same person who received them.

This is a common sense solution and is completely reasonable.

Why would anyone oppose it unless their intention is to cheat?

August 26, he detonated at the Kabul Airport killing 13 Americans and several hundred Afghan who wanted to escape after the fall of Kabul .
The top military brass knew there would be impending attack. The snipers had him in their sights.

Testimony from Marine sniper Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews


Over the communication network we passed that there was a potential threat and an ID attack imminent. This was as serious as it could get. I requested engagement authority while my team leader was ready on the M110 semiautomatic sniper system. The response: Leadership did not have the engagement authority for us. Do not engage. I requested for the battalion commander, lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited, to come to the tower to see what we did. Wile we waited for him psychological operations individuals came to our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide bomber description.

He eventually arrived, and we showed him our evidence, the photos we had of the two men. We reassured him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly, we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and I quote, “I don’t know,” end quote. Myself and my team leader asked very harshly, “Well, who does? Because this is your responsibility, sir.”

He again replied he did not know, but would find out. We received no update and never got our answer. Eventually, the individual disappeared. To this day, we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone on the ground aware operations had briefly halted, but then started again. Plain and simple, we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded. No one was held accountable for our safety.

The DA should be held responsible.

SOROS-BACKED PROSECUTOR IGNORED 3 WARNINGS — HIS FREED SUSPECT M∗RDERED A MOTHER AT A BUS STOP

It is not a question of if, but rather when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again, a Fairfax County, Virginia police officer warned prosecutor Steve Descano's office — in writing — months before Abdul Jalloh allegedly stabbed 41-year-old Stephanie Minter to death at a bus stop shelter in broad daylight.

Jalloh, an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone, had racked up more than 30 prior arrests in Northern Virginia, including two separate malicious wounding charges. Descano's office dropped every one of them, refusing to even subpoena the victims and witnesses who could have put him away.

In May 2025, Fairfax police told Descano's office in writing that Jalloh had shown a blatant disregard for human life and was a danger to the community. Descano let him walk anyway.

Nine months later, Minter — a single mother — was fatally stabbed while waiting for a bus. It's the kind of case DHS points to as the reason ICE conducted "Operation Safe Community," arresting more than 1,300 individuals across Virginia and Maryland in two weeks — including those with violent criminal records that local officials had not pursued.
It's notable that ICE was able to locate these individuals, many of whom have violent criminal records, to remove them from the community, one Northern Virginia public safety watchdog said.
Minter's mother, Cheryl Minter, isn't buying Descano's line that crime can happen anywhere. Crime does happen everywhere, but preventable crime doesn't, she said. You're not protecting the citizens. You're causing more havoc and potentially more violence.

She's now leading a recall petition against Descano, who has also been asked by the House Judiciary Committee to explain his office's handling of the suspect.
Descano still runs Fairfax County's prosecutor's office. Stephanie Minter is deceased. And while his office spent years dropping charges against the same man police warned about, federal agents acted within two weeks to remove violent individuals from the street.
Steve Descano had documentation regarding the risks posed by Abdul Jalloh — he was released anyway, and Stephanie Minter lost her life.

Bayelsaowei. What Canada wanted from a trade deal.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9WP1K5v-tQ?si=Ng8J4G6-ZYF8WuAi

Canada PM wanted to walk away because he knew his demands were unpalatable.
Simply .

1) Removal of tariffs on Canadian assembled Semi-Trucks.
(2) U.S. streaming services writing code for “search engines” in the French language.
(3) Canada demanding 5% of gross revenues from U.S. tech platforms, and the last one is silly because it already exists:
(4) the U.S. having a right to reject a trade deal made by Canada with a non-market economy, ie. CHINA.


A summary of why USTR will necer allow that
♦U.S. tariffs on Canadian Semi Trucks.
Canada wanted tariffs on Big Rigs removed. The U.S. said no.
The reason is simple. Big Rigs assembled/built in Canada are falling apart in the USA. Why? Because they are full of cheap Chinese component goods and parts that wear out quickly. The U.S. wants two things on this issue. Either:
(1) Make them in the USA, or
(2)stop using cheap Chinese component parts.
The parts that Canada are using are not even available in the USA because we tariff and reject them, so why should we accept them when Canada installs them? Either quit using Chinese parts (hence, the trade alignment against Chinese imports), or accept a tariff equal to the rate we would apply if the product was coming directly from China.

♦The French Language thing.
The French language stuff was an ancillary aspect where the Canadian Cultural Police were demanding that all U.S. streaming platforms (YouTube, Netflix etc.) must have search engines using the French language so Canadian users can search for stuff to watch using the French language. A ridiculous issue that was not part of the trade discussion, but Mark Carney saw political value in blowing up the issue.

This is really stupid, because when you buy your hardware (TV, Phone, Computer etc.) it asks you what language or country during set up. If you live in France, you put France. The operating system does the rest. We don’t code search engines for French in FRANCE because the OS does it! But Canada was requiring U.S. tech companies (streaming services) to install search features in French [I guess so they can set up the OS in English but get some ancillary feature.] It was a stupid “side paper” in the Intellectual Property sector of the trade discussion.

♦Intellectual Property.
Canada was demanding 5% of U.S. tech platform gross revenue (not profit, gross), they call it a tax. Canada then uses the “tax revenue” to subsidize Canadian media and information platforms that promote the approved government message. In essence, Canada demands that information providers pay them 5% of their revenue so that Canada can subsidize information providers they approve of. This is what the Canadian government calls “cultural protection.” In reality it is state-run media using a financial system that would make Vladimir Putin blush.



♦U.S. Right to Limit Canadian Trade Deals.
This point is exponentially ridiculous for Canada to be upset about because the current USMCA/CUSMA already has that clause. The U.S (or Mexico) can exit theCanada was already in violation of the USMCA/CUSMA when they entered into a trade agreement with China and agreed to import Chinese EVs. This action triggered the U.S. to become more focused on the stuff Canada was going to import; hence, the renewed emphasis on the clause. USMCA if Canada enters into a trade agreement with a “non-market” economy, ie China. [USMCA Sec 32:10]

Left knows,the right will waste time and
energy defending itself while the left prepares the next accusation.

Higher Morals. Left believes it has higher morals fighting for social justice ,fairness ,equity and reform.. As such the left believe they are on the good side and cannot see their own flaws. Any negative traits they possess are completely suppressed internally and projected outwardly onto their opponents.

Institutional Dominance. Left controls mass media ,Hollywood and social media.As such they have a louder megaphone that they use to control the narrative. This allows the left to massively project their own motives on an institutional scale to the right. Their accusations end up appearing objectively true when repeated nonstop from every corner

I always bring receipts . WH response to Canada.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/08/president-trump-is-finally-ending-canadas-free-ride/


The record of Canadian abuse is clear and deliberate:
FACT: Canada is joined only by the People’s Republic of China in choosing retaliation over negotiation. Their continued discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce has burdened American workers, farmers, and businesses.

FACT: Canada alone imposed discriminatory 25% tariffs and company-specific quotas on U.S. motor vehicles — measures applied to no other country. As a result, U.S. vehicle exports to Canada crashed 22% over the last year.

FACT: Canada banned American wine, beer, and spirits in nearly every province and territory — while other countries have faced no such restrictions. As a result, U.S. alcohol exports to Canada collapsed 81% in a single year.

FACT: Canada locks out U.S. dairy with tariff-rate quotas far more restrictive than those given to Europe, plus over-quota tariffs of nearly 300% — rates so extreme they function as a near-total ban and rank among the highest agricultural tariffs in the developed world.

FACT: Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access.

FACT: Canada targeted American aerospace manufacturer Gulfstream for years. They effectively prohibited the sale of its G500, G600, G700, and G800 models while shielding its own competitor — until President Trump intervened.

FACT: Canada’s protectionist barriers — discriminatory auto quotas, alcohol bans, and dairy lockouts — have hammered American companies. This has cost U.S. producers billions in lost sales, forced layoffs, and driven market share to foreign competitors who face none of the same restrictions.

FACT: Without the United States, Canada could not survive. Canada sends roughly three-quarters of all its goods exports to America — and the U.S. market is where Canada gets the overwhelming majority of its money and economic oxygen.

FACT: Canada’s failed trade policies are driving its own manufacturers south. A recent survey found 42% of Canadian manufacturers have already moved or are planning to move production to the U.S.

FACT: Canada is doubling down on tariffs targeting American workers. Canada just announced an additional $27.6 billion in tariffs on American businesses — including a 50% tariff on American steel and aluminum, a 25% tariff on American fish, and a 25% tariff on American tools.

FACT: The U.S. economy is approximately 13 times larger than the Canadian economy and home to over eight times as many people. The United States has the clear leverage.



The Canadian PM is just a Globalist shooting offf to impress liberals that he has cojones.
America doesn't need Canada ,irs Canada that needs America.
From the word go the USMCA deal was was to be expired ,then a separate trade deal each with Mexico and Canada negotiated.

I would never want to any economy to crash .For example my niece is studying in Canada .
My desire is for everyone to understand where liberals are coming from and their ultimate intentions.
Canada's globalists sold out to China, whose interest is shipping cheap products to America tariff free. Setup ship in Canada then ship their products to America.
