Woke America: A shot at Trump. Obama’s third term. Please think of the government. Bravo J.D. Vance.

Tonight, the always lovely Emylou Harris performs I Be Lifted Up.
Do share tips that lift us up, or sadly, bring us down.
Every aspect of life is being stripped of color. Many have noticed this trend — but why exactly is it happening?
I admire Kirn, Taibbi, and Kelly very much.. They are the new media!
Eighty years ago today, on February 19, 1945, the Battle of Iwo Jima began. The 5-week battle occurred between the U.S. Marine Corps & U.S. Navy versus the Imperial Japanese Army. Here’s a documentary on the brutal battle.
Three years and millions of dollars later, it is now clear that the process was the actual punishment.
’Freedom Convoy’ organizer Pat King was sentenced to three months of house arrest in an Ottawa court this morning.
It comes on top of nine months he spent in custody both before and during his trial.
King’s lawyer had this to say about the eager beavers on the prosecution side:
The 10-year sentence sought by the Crown would have made King “a political prisoner”, she said. “They would be sentencing Mr. King for the sum total of everything that was done by every individual in the Freedom Convoy.”
Our new doctors have been such a disappointment.

Donald Trump just spoke the truth about “Dictator” Zelensky:
President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “Dictator without Elections” a day after Zelensky complained about Ukraine not having a seat at diplomatic talks Tuesday between the United States and Russia.
Trump ripped into Zelensky in a lengthy Truth Social post, first addressing him as “a modestly successful comedian” rather than president.
Democracy Watch announced that it is filing an application in the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa today for approval from the court to proceed with a private prosecution of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for pressuring, and directing others to pressure, then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin in 2018 (now operating under the name “AtkinsRéalis”).
Wayne Crookes, founder of Integrity B.C., is a key supporter of the application.
The application includes a legal opinion by a retired superior court justice (who did the opinion on the condition of remaining anonymous) supporting prosecuting the PM for the allegation of obstruction of justice, and possibly also for breach of trust. The application also includes a “will say” document that summarizes the reasons for the application, and a summary of how the RCMP failed to investigate and uphold the law properly.
As detailed in Democracy Watch’s news release from yesterday, the RCMP’s internal records, obtained by DWatch and also included in today’s application, show that the RCMP’s investigation was weak, incomplete, delayed and buried for years, and amounts to an attempted cover up. The RCMP only interviewed four of 15 key witnesses, and is hiding key testimony from Wilson-Raybould, her Chief of Staff Jessica Prince, and her friend and confidante Jane Philpott. The RCMP also accepted the Trudeau Cabinet hiding key internal communication records, and trusted without question the biased, self-interested public statements of the PM and everyone else who pressured the AG.
