Trump will have: * Torn up Obama’s deal * Spent billions * Depleted US critical supplies * Cost tens of billions in US Gulf infrastructure damage * Lost American lives All to get: * A worse deal than the one he tore up And MAGA will screech and shout “TDS” if you question it.

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law. The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation. The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not. Her internal political problems have become our national crisis. The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong. This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage. I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great. Corey Hogan MP Calgary Confederation

PabloReports: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

Massie: I got to watch Fox also for the first time in 18 months. And there was the president talking about, while gas is almost five dollars, and diesel is almost six dollars, they are talking about a big ballroom they will build, and it looks like the Roman empire. I see a few analogies there.

“Inflation was at 1.6% for the last three months just prior to the war,” President Trump tells members of Congress at a picnic event. Reality… November: 2.7% December: 2.7% January: 2.4% February (almost all pre-war): 2.4% The White House didn’t try to substantiate this claim when Trump was saying it was “1.7%” in the three pre-war months — instead declaring, as usual, that “President Trump is right” about some other related point he didn’t make. The most recent rate, for April, is 3.8%. cnn.com/2026/05/13/pol…

Him, his family, and their businesses. Staggering corruption.

Alberta Separatists funded by MAGA? Shocking. lol

Trump is boasting about getting China to commit to buying $17B of U.S. agriculture per year over the next two years. But during the four years under Biden, China bought on average over $30B of U.S. agriculture. The main reason China bought just $8.4B in 2025 was Trump's tariffs.

Trump is actually doing everything the right pretended Nancy Pelosi did.

You won’t hear this on Fox News: California just released a balanced budget that wipes out the deficit this year AND next — while protecting health care and safety nets. Meanwhile, Trump ADDED $2.4 TRILLION to the federal deficit with his “Big Beautiful Betrayal.” Republicans ruin budgets. Democrats balance them. Adulting matters.

COLLINS: “What about Trump’s promise to lower gas prices?” JORDAN: “That’s life.” @kaitlancollins: “If someone’s paying more for⛽️, saying ‘that’s life’ might not make them feel better.” @Jim_Jordan: “Those are your words, not mine.” COLLINS: “No you said that. Just now.”😬

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

According to multiple reports including the New York Times (April 2026), the steel for the White House's new ballroom project was donated by ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg-based) and produced in Europe—valued at tens of millions. Trump had announced a $37M steel donation for the $400M renovation. ArcelorMittal has U.S. operations too, but sources specified the European-sourced steel for this structure.

Jason Kenney: "I just think this thing is really putting a spotlight on the kind of tactics we're seeing from the separatist side in Alberta. And they've been able to do too many of these things without consequences. I think it's time for consequences."

Political bombshell. The NDP has obtained video evidence showing that top UCPers attended a Centurion Project meeting in which the illegally-obtained voter database was the star attraction. The Premier and her party have lost all plausible deniability. They were complicit. #AbLeg

The mic cut out during O Canada, and the Buffalo crowd didn’t miss a beat 🇨🇦

Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty. But JD came to UGA to attack the pope two days after Trump depicted himself as Jesus Christ. The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice, while he and his family rake in billions from foreign princes.
