Bombed Yemen. Bombed Syria. Bombed Iran. Bombed suspected drug traffickers at sea. Threatened war against Denmark and Panama. Threatened war against Venezuela and Colombia. Threatened war in Mexico. Threatening war against Nigeria. Where's this man's Nobel Peace Prize?

One year ago, @POTUS was charged with restoring our country's greatness. Since entering office, he's brokered eight peace deals and championed our America First values globally. Because of his leadership, we're no longer a laughingstock — we're the hottest country in the world.

Liberal Democracy Needs A Story, by @dgardner. It has one - peace, prosperity, liberty, happiness - but it needs to proclaim it clearly and energetically.

Legend has it Joe Kennedy Sr. (father of JFK) sold his stocks when the shoe shine boy talked about the stocks he'd invested it. It was 1929. Sell everything.

Given the central roles played by Scots in the British Empire, it's hilarious when they complain about English colonialism.

It unequivocally sucks that the attitude of basically the entire news media is "Ol Donny is gonna wriggle out of this one!" because it's a self-justifying excuse for why they can refuse to do the bare minimum of work The laziest, most entitled profession with the thinnest skin

Look at the parade of jeering, obscenities, and idiocies following this comment. This is what X has become. Left or right, it doesn't matter. Why do people continue to waste their time in this hateful swamp? (A gentle suggestion: S*bstack's "Notes" is X minus the madness.)

A few thoughts: - There is no possibility the Journal would publish this without 100 per cent, lead-pipe certainty that it's real. - The Journal almost certainly has more stuff. - So does whoever gave them this. This is the opening salvo, designed to draw Trump out, see how he

The PM should invite Mark Carney for an official visit and address to Parliament before Trump’s visit. It would show Britain backs Canada against Trump’s damaging trade war. Now is the time to stand with the Commonwealth, not stand in Trump’s shadow like Nigel Farage.

This statement by Putin puppet Trump is a betrayal of everything the United States has stood for since the Welles Declaration of 1940. Trump is a Russian operative and a traitor to the United States.

It sure would be nice if the Conservatives even mentioned Donald Trump. You know, Trump, the guy collapsing the world as we know it. Threatening to destroy Canada's economy. Demanding the end of Canada. That guy. You'd think they could at least pretend to notice.

Mark Carney's handpicked adviser, Mark Wiseman, wants to balloon Canada's population to 100 million people. More proof that a 4th Liberal term with Carney will be another reckless disaster on immigration. A new Conservative government will cap immigration and fix the system the

If someone who claims to be a journalist constantly appears at events that turn into angry shitshows, and he makes big money by showing video of said shitshows, the odds he is the innocent and aggrieved party in any particular shitshow approach zero.

The simplest way to test for bias is to reverse the political polarity and ask if this person would say the same thing. And if those involved had been woke leftists, my guess is the likes of @stephen_taylor would be furious.

I don't pay to be "verified" here (sure, Elon...) and my tweets have clearly been throttled down to almost nothing. But for the few who see this: On my S*bstack today, I published a lengthy essay about Donald Trump's War on History.

A regrettable dynamic: Smart people fed up with wokeism, ricochet to Trumpism, apparently amnesic for, or too unimaginative to think through, the alternative to both, namely liberal, pro-science, Enlightenment humanism. Eric Kaufmann (next post) explains the false dichotomy.
