Dear American friends, while we wait for sanity to return, we’re going to start seeing other countries. It’s not you, it’s him. Looking forward to better days for all of us.
President Trump declares Canada is "one of the worst countries in the entire world."

BREAKING: LOL! Trump gets publicly humiliated at his big White House helipad event after the major outlets refused to give him a press pool — resulting in a lack of audio for his ranting remarks. This one really backfired bigly on him... "Yeah there— Okay, so there is no microphone because... There's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there," said a Newsmax host reporting on the incident. "So maybe, Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit." The video showed Trump cutting a ribbon to celebrate his hideous new White House helipad, but viewers couldn't hear what he was saying because of the press pool's absence. Since the reporters didn't show up, there were no high-quality professional microphones present. On Friday, Trump barred CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House on the grounds that they're supposedly "fake news," which just means that they accurately report on his disastrous administration. In retaliation, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News banded together to announce that they would be suspending press pool coverage of Trump. "The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should reject a news organization because it objects to its reporting," they said in a joint statement. The press pool is a dedicated, rotating group of journalists, complete with cameras and audio equipment, that travels with the President to provide outlets with a steady stream of updates on his latest remarks and actions. They also provide video footage when he delivers a speech or attends a noteworthy event. It's clearly something that the attention-obsessed Trump took for granted. He failed to game this attack on the free press out and now he's paying the price. And you just know that this is exactly the kind of thing that gets under his skin. He's fixated on all of these "renovations" and building projects, and he was presumably looking forward to this helipad unveiling. What should have been a moment of gloating and self-congratulation turned into a display of muted helplessness. Please ❤️ and share to thank the news outlets for taking a stand!

Scenes from a Danish kindergarten. In Denmark, kids are encouraged to get muddy on a regular basis. Getting dirty isn't just fun, it's beneficial. Mud play boosts creativity, strengthens sensory development, and even supports a healthier immune system.

The answer would be yes if Premier Danielle Smith actually intends to enforce the vague and sloppy guidelines it has written for school libraries, supposedly to protect innocent school children from exposure to “inappropriate sexual content.” 2/2

Trump's is giving Europe 3 weeks to surrender Ukraine until US withdraws from Europe, leaving America's most important allies at the mercy Russia. This is the mind of a street level extortonist. Europe needs to arm Ukraine fast.
