Sen. Kelly: Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted. Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy. Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it. In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for…

Donald Trump pardoned former #Honduran President/Drug Kingpin, Juan Orlando #Hernandez. Why Hernandez and not #Maduro? IMO bribes are involved.

#PP again posting and praising #Trump to suit the #CPC narrative, while purposefully glossing over the facts.

The Year Canada Grew Up 2025 will be remembered as the year where our nation shed its reputation for meekness and asserted itself for the whole world to see.

2025 has a silver lining for Canadians. This is the year that we learned how much we love our country.

My advice to Americans: Get Over It. #cdnpoli

“Any pundit, politician or commentator who thought that Canada could make its way through this so-called rough patch in U.S.-Canadian relations and come out the other end needs to think again. Trump is not erratic.”

"A cartoon, titled "Quiet Piggy" by Steve Nease, depicts a Canadian beaver character applying duct tape over the mouth of a man identified as U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra. The beaver is holding a roll of tape and saying "Quiet Piggy," while the ambassador is holding a paper labeled "Anti-Canada Rhetoric". The cartoon is a political commentary on U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, and his undiplomatic comments regarding Canada."

I also do not like the fact that discussions were held with Alberta while excluding both BC and Indigenous who have the most to lose . This creates a situation where BC & Indigenous are the bad guys for simply defending their interests , should they say no

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

There are times when it is good to be angry.

Have you considered actively working to defeat the government? All you need to do is volunteer to work for the party that best represents your views. In addition to channelling your anger, you just might enjoy it.
