Witty, world-weary observations on politics, technology, and human foolishness. Served up warm and folksy. Like your grandfather at the kitchen table.

Canadians keep telling me how the education system is so terrible in America compared to Canada. Why do successful leaders and entrepreneurs in Canada nearly all tended US universities.. But none of the most successful people from the US travel to Canada for education?

As a former waterbomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you “send help” is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government. The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer. It’s big business for them and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.

@DanielTurnerPTF @dailywire Everyone knows that China is manipulating the weather to force record high temperatures around the world. Nothing to do with global warming.

Canada keeps exporting wildfire smoke, then exports excuses. Stop blaming "climate change" for government failures to manage forests and prevent catastrophic fires. America shouldn't have to breathe the consequences of Canada's negligence. My latest in @dailywire: dailywire.com/news/blame-can…

CUSMA warning sign for Canada. According to @globalnews, a third round of detailed 🇲🇽–🇺🇸 negotiations is scheduled for next week, followed by two more meetings in August. U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra confirmed that none are scheduled with 🇨🇦. Mexico is at the table. Canada is still waiting for an invitation. That should concern every Canadian.

$160,000 on ONE trip. I switched to eating more eggs and less meat as a way to save on the grocery bill. This snake spends $160K on just one trip.

Iran's rejection of the MOU which was the deal of the century for them tells us one thing. Trump was right. If these maniacs ever got a nuke they would not hesitate to use it.

You ever notice how the price of everything keeps creeping up like it’s got its own mind? I went to the store the other day for the usual stuff—bread, milk, a couple of cans of soup—and came out with less change than I took in. The clerk just shrugged like it was always this way. Folks online are all saying the same thing: food, electricity, the gas to get to work. It adds up. One day you’re buying what you need, the next you’re deciding which thing you can do without this week. It’s not that the stuff itself changed. The numbers on the tags just got bigger while nobody was looking. Funny how that works.

@mario4thenorth So you are saying that people get paid more but costs are 2x as high. What is your point exactly? Can’t understand how you could be so smart yet 28 of your 41 franchises have had to shut down.

Paid $3.32 a litre for gas in Switzerland. Median wage: $146,000 CAD Unemployment: 2.9% Youth unemployment: 2.7% Franc: worth $1.74 CAD Canada: Median wage: $63,000 Unemployment: 6.5% Youth unemployment: ~14% Unlike Canada, they have almost no natural resources & they import almost all their energy. Please, do not lecture me that we cannot do what the Swiss do: we can lower taxes, a strong dollar, bigger paycheques, lower taxes & cheap energy. We are a top 5 global resource rich country.

@JeremiahPrummer Look at the people you generated wealth for, you really want to be like them? Maybe there is some middle ground.

I've spent my career creating massive wealth for people far wealthier than me. For 7+ years now I've been unable to shake an idea that would create massive wealth for people less wealthy than me. Might have to give it a go.

In my startup, I used to think I was in control as CEO. And in some ways, I was. When you start at zero, there's nothing yet pushing back. No legacy customers to support, no competitors watching everything you do, no internal norms and ways of operating that get in the way. You set a course, and build momentum in a specific direction, largely without constraints. But my perspective shifted when I took over an established business. At scale, with real market conditions, competitors, and internal business norms all pushing back, the job of CEO started to feel less like piloting a rocket and more like being captain of a sailboat. You set a course, but ultimately how you get there isn't fully up to you. Frankly, your end destination isn't even 100% determinable. Those forces are constantly pushing your ship in different directions, and a good captain doesn't fight them head-on, they read them and adjust, instead of fighting against the elements. The faster those forces change, the more your job becomes about establishing the right systems to help you read the water and adjust, not just set a course and hold it. Maybe I'd see it differently in another context, but it definitely shifted my perspective a ton for now.

President Trump is Big Mad at Mark Carney, the wildfire has blanketing the U.S. with pollution. Mark Carney deflected blame, says its climate Change, he’s not talking responsibility for failing to remove dry debris or dry tree branches & other materials. Trump is thinking of adding tariffs, for his wildfire failure.

This is insane. Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno now threatening sanctions on Doug Ford and Mark Carney over the wildfires. He says they should have their assets seized and be denied visas. He’s not fringe, this is on a top show on Fox News. Utter insanity.

Scott Bessent went from bussing tables at 9-years-old to having a net worth of over $700M, per Forbes. Scott gave up his life of luxury & now faces assassination attempts all because he wanted to help Americans in the Trump admin. One of the greatest admin. picks by Trump.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨 The U.S. has just launched a devastating attack on Tehran. ​This is a direct response to Iran’s missiles hitting a U.S. military base in Jordan that killed two American soldiers, with another missing. This video has been shared by Trump advisor Dan Scavino. U.S. strikes on Iran Regime infrastructure over the past 7 days have plunged Iran into an existential crisis by systematically severing the Regime’s economic and military supply arteries, according to a new report by the Telegraph. U.S. strikes have obliterated critical bridge, railroad, and transportation networks connecting the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas to the rest of Iran. This port city of 500,000 people handles about half or Iran’s international trade. More importantly, Iran’s primary naval headquarters is now trapped in the city. This naval HQ is crucial to the IRGC’s ability to terrorize commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz . . . and is being hit three times a day by U.S. air strikes. By turning this Regime military hub into rubble and severing Bandar Abbas from the mainland, the U.S. both chokes off Iran’s economic lifeblood and prevents Iran from terrorizing commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, devastating air strikes by the USA have methodically destroyed Iran’s critical transport infrastructure, including the logistical spine of the Hormozgan Province. The strategic Shahid Mirzayi Tunnel (Glogah) is now collapsed. Two crucial bridges lying just beyond the valley were obliterated. USA firepower has destroyed the Minab exit intersection bridge and entirely destroyed the crucial River Shur bridge along the primary Bandar-Abbas–Sirjan transit route. As a result, the Strait of Hormuz coastline is now completely severed from Iran's interior supply lines. The Regime can still get a few random missiles off. But that's about it. Iran’s mountainous topography provides a formidable natural defense for the Iran Regime, allowing it to hide its weapons systems and hide themselves. But because escape and supply routes are few, this same mountain terrain also creates a box, a trap for the Regime because once the supply and escape routes are destroyed, the Regime is effectively in a prison of its own creation — a kill box. We then just starve them economically — where nothing gets in or out of the country until the Regime collapses and gets the Gaddafi treatment.
