Do you understand the sheer breadth of Carney's international experience and success before he was elected?
Of course I do I was an Advisor to 🇨🇦 Politicians my entire Career. Not sure what your question is about.
Buttigieg reminds me of a Younger Mark Carney, the new PM of Canada who won hearts & minds of Canadians from Coast to Coast to Coast. He could offer the same "renewal" that the 🇺🇸 Democratic Party needs.
[Not loaded yet]
Agreed. I think there should be an HGTV Special and get all the 🇨🇦 Designers - Baumlers, Property Brothers, Mike Holmes, Brian Gluckstein et al, to Build a new House for the Canadian PM. All Canadian (& French & English!) Sourced Products. Canadians could really feel part of the new build!
“The distinction between public & private has no meaning to the House of Saud. Their country is literally named after them. At least in theory, US ethics laws put Washington on the other end of the spectrum. In reality, federal ethics rules are now decorative.” My column.

Donald Trump’s gargantuan self-dealing
Federal ethics rules now seem little more than decoration
But do 🇺🇸 Laws not apply to Foreign "Individuals" who Bribe the American President? The Country of Qatar didn't Gift a $400 Million Plane. The Leader of Leader gifted it. He clearly won't be arrested or extradited. But USA Sanctions on Quatar perhaps?
"Not to worry. Attorney General Pam Bondi—once a registered lobbyist for Qatar, as it happens—has concluded that the transaction is permissible under U.S. law and the Constitution." Of course!

A Garish, Outlandish, Stunningly Corrupt Act
Trump wants Qatar to gift him a shiny new Air Force One because he thinks the Emoluments Clause is for suckers.
Can the Quatari Leader eventually be Charged with Bribery? Or will that be a futile effort just like the Families of the 9/11 Victims seeking to sue the Saudi Royal Family. Charge the Leaders not "the Country".
The only positive to this grossly corrupt, unconstitutional, illegal, and treasonous act will be watching Republicans & Trump’s media sycophants defend it.👇
If the Quataris want to "Gift" Trump a $400 Million Plane to fly back & forth to his Quatari Golf Course - why don't they wait until he is out of Office & a Private Citizen again? Demonstrate that they are not trying to Bribe a 🇺🇸 President.
Why doesn’t Trump sign an executive order to lower the cost of bacon?
CHINA isn't buying any American Pork. Makes you wonder why Bacon prices in 🇺🇸 haven't hit rock bottom with all the excess supply.
Trump family eagerly awaiting the Saudi-UAE counteroffer in the Persian Gulf Trump-corruption auction/arms race.
Still a BOLD move on the part of the Quataris. Bribing a 🇺🇸 President. There will be a new 🇺🇸 Administration at some point. Maybe non-MAGA. Quataris will be persona non grata. They can wait 4 yrs & Give Trump a plane as "citizen" Trump. Prove they really Love him that much?
Falling for Putin's empty nuclear threats is a Trump weakness, but it has also recently been an American weakness.
Trump Is Spooked by Putin’s Nuke Threats
The president takes the Kremlin’s bluster at face value.
There's a Reason it's called the "Balance of Terror". If Putin dares launch a Nuke into the West, it will come back at Him ten fold. Why both sides are terrified to go first.
May I suggest a better solution: How about the “Let’s Not Allow Our Imbecilic President to Piss Off Our Friends Act of 2025”?
One thing Ms Stefanik left out. How will the Masked ICE Agents identify the Canadians "allowed" to stay longer, whilst doing their door to door raids in search of non-citizens?
