The Town of Wasaga Beach says a section of protected piping plover habitat was mistakenly disturbed earlier this month, a day after environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit alleging damage to the endangered migratory shorebird’s nesting grounds.
The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...
Pete Hegseth is blaming Joe Biden for military vaccine mandates.
The flu shot’s been required since 1945.
Joe Biden was 3 years old in 1945.
Does anyone else find it odd that amid the Ghislaine Maxwell battle to have her conviction vacated, the DOJ released multiple documents damaging to Trump from the Maxwell discovery, and Melania gave a weird press conference saying people tying her to Epstein are liars?

This administration has quite literally started a war and is now actively covering up the deaths of the soldiers it so enthusiastically loves to use overseas and then throw away once they get back home. This time they were caught doing it but how many times have they possibly already done this?
I've called on the Auditor General to investigate the full cost of Doug Ford's $30M jet disaster. The purchase. The outfitting. The resale. The losses.
Ontarians deserve to know how much this cost them.
Haven't done so since prior to the orange lunatic in the WH. My tourism $s now being spent elsewhere, including avoiding any stopover/layover in the USA.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
The US attempting to shakedown and threaten its erstwhile number one ally and partner will reverberate for decades. Canada will be far stronger w other more reliable partners
Back in September, I wrote about Ukraine's long-range drones. Now that they are regularly and accurately striking Russian refineries and oil infrastructure, I think it's worth reading again, for those who missed it. Gift link:

Crypto billionaire Justin Sun is suing Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, alleging it froze his $75M investment, blocked sales, and stripped his voting rights.
Sun says he was pressured to buy more and retaliated against when he refused—calling it a scheme to “profit through fraud.”

The indictment is arguing that by paying the informants, the SPLC was helping further extremist activity. But as Ryan notes below, the SPLC was sharing its intelligence with law enforcement. Is the Justice Dept suggesting that the FBI was using that intelligence to help these groups? Makes no sense
US airports could face a new wave of long security lines as early as May after the nation’s homeland security chief said that he will run out of money to pay 50,000 workers due to a partial government shutdown. https://cnn.it/4eHxJeq
This is the most idiotic road expansion because it undercuts demand for the brand new LRT we just built to service the same area
There's no legal basis for these boat strikes, and US officials involved in them should be prosecuted for attempted murder and murder. The OLC memo green-lighting the strikes is still secret, but there's nothing it could say that would make these strikes lawful. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

Why should anyone join a global order that is nakedly America first? Obviously that isn't going to happen. And even suggesting this diminishes US power in front of our very eyes because there are literally no partners.
“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
After publicly rejecting Zelenskyy’s offer, stating "We don't need their help in drone defense" Trump’s administration has deployed Ukraine’s Sky Map platform at Prince Sultan Air Base.

I borrowed a bunch of money from family and friends last week and went out and bought something really expensive that I can’t afford and I don’t really need it but I want it and then my family and friends kept calling and saying that was a bad idea and why am I scrutinized like this all the time?!!
