American Psychopath - Charlie Angus tells it:


"On today's show, Meidas Canada examines the warning signs of a dangerous narcissist who controls the nuclear codes. And we walk you through the evidence of the sex crime allegations linking Trump and Epstein to child sex rape."

Rate Trump's Psychopathy

You be the judge - I'd give him full marks in the "Definitely Present" category.

I ventured into the depths of Hell to find this

on Truth Socio:


"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! "

Note the condition for reopening the Strait. I don't think this is a deal by any stretch yet.

You may be a defacto Canadian citizen and not know it.

I don't recall if this has been mentioned here before, but you folks in the US who have expressed an interest in emigrating may find this new Canadian citizenship law interesting:

"If you were born before Dec 15, 2025
and, if you can trace a direct line to a Canadian citizen ancestor (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc.),
you may already be a Canadian citizen automatically."

All you have to do is collect the docs showing your ancestry and apply to have citizenship granted. The new part is that there is no limit on how far back your ancestry goes to be eligible. It is estimated there are about 10 million Americans, particularly those in or from the New England area and/or with French Canadian ancestry who are eligible.

Unfortunately this applies to MAGAts as well but hopefully they would not be interested...

Fartemis comes up short.

Only 19 minutes of lies, bluster and nonsense this time.

ETA: Dow futures dropped about 400 points as he spoke.

No tankers.

Not a single tanker (red icons) currently in the Strait of Hormuz (but a bunch at anchor on either side).

Strait of Hormuz ship traffic map.

Near as I can tell, red markers are oil tankers, green are cargo and pink are fishing boats. Arrow shape means ship is moving, dot shape means not.

Looks like there are a number of ships waiting at the entrance of the strait. I dunno if that means much...

Watched until I got sick of it.

Last impression was of Johnson with a look on his face as if he was about to jump up and yell Halleluiah.

Mara Largo shooter says:

TMZ reported on Sunday that the man who was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after he breached the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun was “fixated” on the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein and believed there was a “government cover-up” protecting his accomplices.

The report is based on text messages from February 15 and from “sources who worked” with the man — identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin — at a North Carolina golf course. TMZ also reported that Martin “regularly expressed support” for President Donald Trump; he apparently wasn’t as much of a MAGA fan anymore, considering he was prepared to attack the president’s estate.

“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable.” Martin said in the recent text messages. “The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”

Well, he wasn't all wrong at all...
