"...But what is staggering is this: despite the vast sums we, and our supposed European allies, spend on defence intelligence, our leaders appear to have been wholly unaware that they should prepare for this eventuality. That Trump was intent on pursuing policy totally alien to every one of our supposed allies should have been abundantly clear. Except that it appears it was not. Not to any of our NATO allies, or to us, all of whom now appear to have been caught off guard by what has happened, despite all the warnings that were issued."

The new world we need is going to be messy – and that will be the foundation of its strength

I am tired. Specifically, I am tired of Trump. I am tired of the confusion that he is creating. I am tired of the chaos that he is leaving in his wake. I am tired of the uncertainty that is harming people’s lives. I am tired of the threats. I...

The Democrats’ Disastrous Shutdown Strategy: A Shameful Weaponization of Human Suffering

The government shutdown of 2025 has been one of the most shameful episodes in modern American politics, not just because of the dysfunction it exposed, but because of how both parties — especially the Democrats — turned human suffering into a political strategy. For over 40 days, the federal government was paralyzed, workers went without pay, vital services were halted, and millions of Americans were left hanging in uncertainty. All for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When the dust […]

Who the Fuck Cares Who’s Responsible Anymore

At this point, who the fuck cares who’s responsible for this government shutdown anymore? Seriously. Because the longer this goes on, none of these politicians look good. Not a single one. And when this is all said and done — whenever that is — no one will even fucking care how it started. They’ll just remember that it dragged on, that it hurt people, and that those in power let it happen. It doesn’t matter if you say it’s the Republicans’ fault, or the Democrats’ fault, or […]

When Hypotheticals Become Reality: Furloughed Workers Forced Into Second Jobs Just to Survive

I remember when this shutdown first started — I said, half out of frustration and half out of fear, that if this thing went on long enough, furloughed federal workers would eventually have to take on second jobs just to make ends meet. Back then, it was just a hypothetical. A what-if. A warning of how bad things could get if Washington didn’t get its act together. But now, it’s not a hypothetical anymore. It’s reality. And it’s bleak. Across the country, federal workers who were […]

The Spongebob Shutdown: How Both Parties Are Winning While America Burns

Let me just say this straight up — this is my opinion. My personal take. But I honestly believe that both Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C., are benefiting from this shutdown. Not the everyday Democrats and Republicans, not the people living paycheck to paycheck, not the single parents trying to stretch what little money they have left — no, I mean the ones sitting comfortably in Congress, the ones making decisions from their high offices. Those are the ones gaining something […]

They’re All the Same: Schumer, Thune, Johnson, Jeffries — All Playing Games While America Suffers

Let’s be honest here — I’m done with all of them. Every single one of them. Chuck Schumer, John Thune, Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries — all of them are the same. They may stand at different podiums, wear different color ties, and talk to different audiences, but when it comes down to it, they’re playing the same damn game. And that game is holding America hostage. This government shutdown has dragged on too long, and it’s because these so-called “leaders” — the ones who are […]

🚨 OPSEC Disaster at the Top: How Michael Waltz Just Compromised U.S. National Security—AGAIN! 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤬

While the Trump administration lectures about digital security, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz has been using Gmail to coordinate military operations and sharing after-action strike reports in Signal group chats that accidentally included a journalist.

Let’s be clear:
・Personal Gmail was used to discuss weapons systems & troop movements
・Israeli surveillance was exposed—jeopardizing a key intelligence partnership
・Sensitive coordination went through Signal, not JWICS
・Waltz, who attacked Hillary Clinton for email practices, is now guilty of worse

This is not a technical mistake. It’s a policy failure, a hypocritical breach, and a serious threat to U.S. operational integrity.

If you lead in national security, you do not get to bypass your own secure systems. And you certainly don’t blame “legacy contacts” when you get caught.

Accountability isn’t partisan. It’s essential.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say

Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

It is bitterly ironic that in some enlightened parts of the world rivers (& salmon, & ecosystem) are being liberated of their dams. Here in BC, we’ve spent billions upon billions on damming the Peace River (the Site C boondoggle) for questionable benefits & at great loss of precious agricultural lands.

WTAF? Taxpayer dollars supporting private businesses while public school system struggles. This is when “conservatism” looks a lot more like cronyism and corruption. Ugh.
