1. “I think I have to do it,” Trump told reporters of his plans. “They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth.”

   I’ll sit on that jury…

   1. Hahahaha … the BeeB can’t even get the amount of his lawsuit correct.

      I’m hoping $10B completely demolishes the BBC. Sorry Brits … it appears the price tag will be handed to each of you for payment.

      Wait. Maybe he’s suing in Canadian dollars? Hahahahaha ha ha …. Can Trump buy Sask. for $10B? Sounds about right

      1. No, The President cannot buy Saskatchewan for $10 Billion…
         Do you like to eat? Some folks are really big on eating, sayin’

         Sask’s potash industry is worth just under $8 Billion for the 31% of the world’s potash production (2024)

         Like uranium? I like uranium…
         Sask’s uranium sales for 2025 are expected to be $3 Billion, 2nd greatest producer of this and has the highest grade mine in the world at Cigar Lake, averaging 15.8% while world wide average is less than 0.1% elsewhere… my first actual job was cutting/drilling steel plate for the I-beams which went into this mine “long ago”
         https://www.cameco.com/businesses/uranium-operations/canada/cigar-lake

         Total value of oil and gas from Sask is about $13 Billion
         Total value of all grains grown in Sask is about $20 Billion
         Total value of our women folk? $ Trillions…

         1. You got women folk in Sask?

            1. Our hostess

      2. $5 Billion US … amazing to see that BBC “News” got that figure wrong.

2. I’m old enough to remember when a country Christmas lp actually included songs about the birth and life of Christ. Nah, there isn’t a War on Christmas … it’s just been fully secularized.

   But then again, I never considered Taylor Swift to be “country music” either.

4. Woke. Broke…

   Hart House, the vegan fast-food chain co-founded by comedian Kevin Hart, has closed all of its locations just two years after its debut. Its four Southern California outlets shut their doors for the final time on Tuesday, according to CEO Andy Hooper, as reported by Eater LA.

   Hooper aimed to establish a ‘sustainable employment experience’ at Hart House – with higher wages and widespread benefits to encourage staff to stay. Employees received healthcare, a lifestyle spending account, and an interest-earning savings account that the company paid into.

   Aussie PM wants more gun control.

   1. Aussie PM is probably the biggest, vilest moron in the Anglosphere. Worse than Carney.

      1. Yet, neither are as bad as the imbeciles who vote for their respective political parties.

6. Had enough yet?

      1. Welcome. Attended a meeting last night. Not much new, but very nice to see it all in a single presentation. The numbers are staggering, both how the Feds are screwing us & how much of a raise we’ll all get when we’re gone.

         We should meet for a beer sometime. It’s been a long time.
