For the umpteenth time, Trump has just said some “bizarre” things that, upon closer examination, turn out to be entirely reasonable.
Trump derangement syndrome hijacks an election
Just hours before Canada’s federal election, a man treated a street festival here in Vancouver like it was a bowling lane and his vehicle was the ball. Eleven people have died as a result, with several others injured. But sure, let’s make the federal election all about U.S. President Donald Trump.
Local police quickly ruled out terrorism. How could they possibly know so fast?
Well, because they were apparently like, “Oh, it was just THAT guy.” And not because he hangs out at the doughnut shop with them and shoots the breeze, but because he’s out there doing enough criming that they know his exact brand of crime – and it isn’t terrorism.
Michelle Obama complains living in White House was expensive: “You’re paying for every bit of food you eat”
Former first lady Michelle Obama got heavily trolled as a clip from her podcast, where she was seen complaining about the cost of living in the White House, went viral. In ‘The Diary of a CEO’ podcast, Michelle said though you don’t have to pay for living in the White House, every bit of the food is on you — prompting backlash from social media users on how out-of-touch she could be.
Poor Michelle Obama! How did she manage to live under such oppression? And now she only has a $10 million Martha’s Vineyard mansion! Who can function like that?
At least she didn’t have to suffer as much as Meghan Markle whose castle was too small.

War Between The US And Canada – Is It Now A Real Possibility?
Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.
Showdown Looms as Tom Homan Explores Case Against AOC for Obstructing Immigration Enforcement
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday dared border czar Tom Homan to arrest her for what she claimed was legal advice she gave to migrants on how to avoid being deported.
Homan responded to the congresswoman’s taunt by saying he was already exploring her arrest with the U.S. Justice Department.
Trump, in a new interview, says ‘highly unlikely’ military force needed to make Canada 51st state
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.
He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.
The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Trump on Meet the Press:
Says he’ll talk 51st State with Mark Carney
Say he won’t need military force to annex CanadaWait a second
I thought Trump respected Canada’s sovereignty?
That’s what Carney told us before the electionGet your popcorn ready.

GREEN: Carney should pull the plug on Canada’s EV revolution
During his election victory speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated one of his favourite campaign slogans and vowed to make Canada a “clean energy superpower.” So, Canadians can expect Ottawa to “invest” more taxpayer money in “clean energy” projects, including electric vehicles (EVs) — the revolutionary transportation technology that’s been ready to replace internal combustion since 1901, yet still requires subsidies.
UK: Eight Muslims arrested in two separate anti-terror operations
Eight men, including seven Iranian nationals, have been arrested in two separate counter-terrorism police investigations.
Five were arrested at various locations around England on Saturday as part of a “pre-planned” investigation into a plot to “target a specific premises”, the Metropolitan Police said.
Four – two aged 29, one aged 40 and one aged 46 – are Iranian nationals. Police said the nationality and age of the fifth was still being established.
The Wait Is The Price: Quiet Rationing Plagues Canadian Health Care

Anger grows at Prince Harry for saying ‘I don’t know how much longer’ cancer-battling King Charles, 76, has left to live as royal ‘blows his chance of reconciliation with his father’
Prince Harry faces criticism for sparking speculation surrounding His Majesty’s health after saying he didn’t ‘know how much longer’ his 76-year-old father, King Charles, has left to live.
In a bombshell interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex, 40, revealed he wanted to reconcile with the royals, while alleging his father, the monarch, was not currently speaking to him.
It comes after Prince Harry lost his legal challenge over his UK security arrangements at the Court of Appeal. The Duke could potentially appeal the decision, which would then put it in the hands of the Supreme Court.
‘The most honest reflection of the country’: Inside the 905 — the ridings that helped deny Mark Carney a majority
Vina Viejo, a personal support worker in Richmond Hill, supported Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government with votes and campaign donations for almost a decade.
But Viejo’s had a change of heart.
In last Monday’s federal election, she moved her support behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and says she convinced her partner and multiple family members — about 15, she estimates, except for one holdout sister — to join her in abandoning the Liberals.
‘Trans rugby player’s tackle wrecked my knee — why was she allowed to play?’
Elena King has been holding her first rugby membership card for comfort a lot in the past few weeks. It shows a smiling little girl, of Dutch, English and Scottish heritage, who has been in love with the sport since she was eight.
But today she is at home in Amsterdam, facing the consequences of a life-changing injury playing Dutch premiership rugby in January.

Britain is ‘compliant servant of communist China’, says Trump’s tariff chief
Donald Trump’s tariffs tsar has accused Britain of being a “compliant servant of communist China” at risk of having its “blood sucked” dry by Beijing.
Peter Navarro, the president’s economic adviser, said the Government must resist “string-laden gifts” from Beijing and avoid becoming a “dumping ground” for goods that China can no longer sell to the US.
In an intervention set to complicate trade negotiations between Britain and America, he told The Telegraph: “If the Chinese vampire can’t suck the American blood, it’s going to suck the UK blood and the EU blood.”
