It's incredibly sad to me that people will not do the research into why decisions are made by our Government and/or President.  Because of their hatred for him and their political affiliation they are blinded by what's truly taken place. 

When it comes to the termination of a 157 year old relationship with Canada that people are so appalled over, take a good look at what actually happened and lead to the breakdown. 

President Trump asked Canada to close their border to narcotraffickers. The Canadian govt chose not to.

President Trump asked the Canadian government to remove trade tariffs, remove non-tariff trade barriers, and initiate reciprocal trade.  The Canadian govt chose not to.

President Trump asked the Canadian govt to stop being a pass-through for Chinese goods that violates the USMCA.  The Canadian govt chose not to.

President Trump asked the Canadian govt to open access to U.S. banks and financial services.  The Canadian govt said no.

President Trump asked the Canadian govt to live up to the NATO commitment of 2.5% GDP spending on military defense.  The Canadian govt said no, you will defend us free of charge and basically just accept it.

Now, members of the Canadian government are saying they want to "inflict the maximum amount of pain on Americans possible."

Canada destroyed most of their heavy industry and chases the climate change hoax in all economic policies.  They are destroying themselves.

Canada imported Steel and Aluminum from China, then shipped it into the USA, undercutting U.S. industry and trying to weaken U.S. heavy industry to match their own level of dependence.  President Trump said ENOUGH!

Because President Trump is holding them accountable and asking them to contribute equally or pay the tariffs, they are mad.  Because President Trump is trying to protect and help America, you are mad?
Come on now people, stop focusing on political BS and look at the big picture.  Really do your research and look into all the facts.

Politics & Religion / Fake News in Orwell’s Era
« Last post by Body-by-Guinness on March 31, 2025, 03:28:38 PM »
"I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according
to various 'party lines.'"

Politics & Religion / Re: Greenland

"Greenland is almost 80% ice covered." Doing the math, the part that's not ice covered is the size of California.

I do not understand or appreciate why they put out the option of using force.

Politics & Religion / Why not use existing structure of NATO?

Why not just use the existing NATO structure to re-establish the many bases we used to have there?!?
