Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

This moment -- our declaration of war with Iran tonight to achieve regime change -- reminds me of the beginning of our invasion of Iraq in 2003, but with 4 big differences. THREAD 1/

Why did Trump attack Iran? (Hint: check his polling numbers) And no, Obama didn’t do what Trump is doing exactly now)

Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

I too visited hardcore Communist countries behind the Iron Curtain before the Berlin Wall came down. This Dear Leader banner worship was widespread and nauseating. And definitely not what you’d ever expect in a healthy, confident democracy.

Russia's war on Ukraine came savagely close to #Windsor soldiers defending a tiny independent nation caught in a dangerous dictator's gunsights. https://t.co/1jRajCmyzZ via @TheWindsorStar

This Gordie Howe International Bridge political thriller just keeps getting dumber and dumber. Spoiler: Trump admin approved new border crossing just before Trump, using false info, vowed to block it. @GordieHoweBrg @TheWindsorStar https://t.co/85xgeitYPO via @TheWindsorStar

The Blame Canada crowd is angry with the appointment of Janice Charrette to lead trade negotiations with the US. (When are they not angry?) They claim that she’s unqualified, and a Liberal patronage appointee. Some facts: - Madame Charette actually started her career in Ottawa

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, at the request of Carl Sagan, NASA turned Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look. From 3.7 billion miles away, it captured this: a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Here is how Carl Sagan beautifully described it: “Look again

The Gordie Howe Bridge is an incredibly important infrastructure project for Michigan. President Trump's threat tonight to tank it is awful for our state's economy. Canceling this project will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply

@RpsAgainstTrump Canada is paying the full $6.4B bill for the International Bridge, including the Michigan interchange. The U.S. hasn't spent a dime on its construction. You can't demand compensation for a bridge another country is gifting your economy. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 #GordieHoweBridge #Canada Source:

This tragic clown show will end soon enough, but the trust in America is gone ... for a very long time to come. Canada's trade-dependent economy can't extricate itself fast enough.

While you're struggling to afford groceries and health care, Trump cut a secret $500 million crypto deal with foreign leaders to benefit himself and his friends. He says he doesn’t recall it.
