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

Speak English. Fast service. Great drinks. Don’t lobby the government for foreign workers. Tim Hortons is cooked. They’re no longer a Canadian company with Canadian values. All Dunkin’ Donuts needs to do is hire our youth. It was always that simple. Canada First.

@JasminLaine_ I think I will take the research from economic academics over that of the whims of a property developer.

Gordon Chang says it’s time for the U.S. to realize there is no working with China. “We are desperately trying to achieve some sort of accommodation with China when it’s no longer possible.” “Their system is evil.” “It’s malicious.” “It’s identified us as an enemy.” “Eventually, we will get to the place where we will start defending ourselves.” “There is only one superpower, and it ain’t China.” @GordonGChang

@GuntherEagleman How do stock futures make housing, food and medical care more affordable for me? They don't, corporate tax cuts simply make the oligarchs wealthier while the erst of us suffer.

You ever notice how the same old story keeps popping up, like a stubborn stain on the rug? Folks on the coast are chattering again about UFOs and whatever's really floating around out there in the Atlantic. New bits of old ships turning up, strange lights, and suddenly everyone's an expert on what the government ought to spill. **Here's the thing that gets me:** We can't agree on the price of eggs or how to fix a leaky faucet, but we're all set to demand the full playbook on visitors from who-knows-where. It reminds me of the neighbor who spends hours hunting for his lost glasses while they're sitting right on his head. Maybe the real mystery isn't what's up in the sky—it's why we keep looking everywhere except at the mess we've already made down here. What do you reckon?

You ever notice how we keep shooting these giant tin cans into the sky, calling them the future, and then they plop right back into the ocean like a kid's toy after one good throw? This latest Starship test—up it went, spit out a few pretend satellites, and down it came in a ball of fire. Folks cheer like it's progress. Me, I figure we've got enough trouble keeping the roads smooth here on the ground without pretending the stars are just another suburb. One of these days, maybe we'll figure out the simple stuff first.

@bennyjohnson The straits were open before Trump attacked Iran. Iran gets sanctions lifted and tens of billions in restitution from the US and we are no better off then we were in Feb 27th

🚨Trump Stuns World: Announces Imminent PEACE DEAL With Iran POTUS just got off a call with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, and Israel. A peace agreement with Iran has been largely negotiated. War will be OVER. The Strait will be OPENED. America will be STRONGER. Pay close attention to the people online who attack Trump for trying to achieve PEACE. They don't want peace. They want chaos and war and death. They want Trump and America to fail. Praying for PEACE 🇺🇸🙏🏻

🚨 POSSIBLE IRAN BREAKTHROUGH: Sec. State Marco Rubio just DROPPED a hint, HUGE news on Iran could drop as soon as LATER TODAY! Rubio: “The Straits need to be open WITHOUT tolls. They need to turn over their enriched uranium.” He confirmed progress is happening RIGHT NOW, and Trump wants diplomacy… but this issue WILL be solved ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

You know, these days it seems like every time you turn on the news or scroll through your phone, there’s another big mess popping up somewhere on the map. Ukraine heating up again, talk of Iran and Cuba and who knows what else, all at the same time. Folks used to worry about one thing at a time. Now it feels like the whole world’s juggling too many balls and half of them are on fire. I keep wondering what ordinary people are supposed to do with all that. Pay the bills, mow the lawn, maybe catch a ball game on the weekend. Instead we’re handed a fresh batch of headlines every morning that make the coffee taste bitter. It’s not that the problems aren’t real. It’s just that when everything’s declared “the most important story in the world” at once, none of them feel quite as important as the price of eggs at the store. Maybe that’s the real story nobody’s covering.

@nicksortor That will happen when you eliminate $1.5T in corporate taxes. How is the average American doing though with affordability, health care and wage growth?

🚨 President Trump points out the stock market is SURGING as Kevin Warsh is sworn in as federal reserve chair "I just turned on the television. I wanted to see how the stock market is doing today. The stock market is up 600 POINTS. That means they like you! If they didn't like you... 😆" It's actually up to 50,702. But I think with you, it's only going to go UP!"

Tulsi Gabbard is out as Director of National Intelligence Effective June 30. She told Trump in the Oval Office today. The stated reason: her husband Abraham Williams is battling an extremely rare form of bone cancer. She's stepping down to be with him. She told Congress in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. Trump went to war anyway. Asked about her assessment, he said: "I don't care what she said." By April he was privately polling cabinet members on whether she should go, while publicly saying he had full confidence in her.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP DROPS A MASSIVE BOMB ON THE ECONOMY: “You can never make a country great again if you're going to have all government jobs… We have $18 TRILLION — with a T — being invested in the United States in just 11 months. The previous record was $3 trillion by China.” $18 TRILLION in private investment. More plants, more factories, more equipment, more JOBS than any president in history.

🔥The United States of America will withdraw more than 100,000 American soldiers from Europe and suspend its annual defense spending, which amounts to trillions of dollars. What's your response to this......??👀 Without monetary return or military allies when needed, do you agree with the US decision? YES or NO?

🚨 TRUMP’S AMERICA FIRST IS MAKING NATO SWEAT AGAIN! Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Sweden telling these freeloading “allies” the truth: you can’t keep mooching off Uncle Sam while doing NOTHING on Iran. Trump’s not playing the globalist game anymore. No more blank checks for countries that talk tough but deliver zero when it counts. Time to LEAVE NATO!

You know, I was looking at my phone the other day—that little rectangle we all carry around like it's attached to our wrists—and it hit me how everything these days wants to know more about me than my own doctor. They call it “smart.” I call it nosy. You buy a light bulb, and suddenly it’s asking for your zip code, your birthday, and whether you prefer your eggs scrambled or over easy. A light bulb! What’s next, the toaster wants to know who I voted for last time around? I remember when you flipped a switch and the room got bright. No passwords, no updates, no “we’ve noticed you haven’t used our app in 47 days—here’s a notification to remind you we’re still here.” Now you can’t even buy a simple coffee maker without it trying to join your family group chat. I’m not against progress, mind you. I just wonder who decided that convenience meant giving up every last scrap of privacy. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I liked it better when the only thing my appliances did was their job and kept their opinions to themselves. What do you figure—has the world really gotten smarter, or have we just gotten better at letting machines mind our business?

@MPelletierCIO Venezuela’s oil output has increased by less than 5% since the US took over. I don’t think that Canadians are too worried. The US is depleting its reserves by close to 1 million barrels a day so they still need lots of oil

I was mocked by many for saying that Venezuela would be the new Canada in regards to displacing our oil. ITs only just getting started. Exxon May Return to Venezuela. The deal, which could be finalized and announced as soon as this month, would involve Exxon signing contracts to produce oil in up to six fields in several regions in Venezuela, according to the people familiar with the matter. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions. And last month, Exxon’s main rival, Chevron, announced a major expansion of its largest oil field in Venezuela, a move that is expected to solidify the company’s grip on one of the world’s largest oil deposits. nytimes.com/2026/05/21/wor…
