This is the utter arrogance of billionaires. He knows he broke the rules. We know he broke rules. But he has spent his life getting away with it so he’s offended when, for once, there are actual control his actions.

I never thought Trump was a smart person, but I think I really underestimated just how stupid he actually was.

Apparently the renaming shenanigans isn’t over. Trump is now floating the idea of changing New Mexico to “New America.”

Damn, I hope he wins.

One of the really unfortunate and annoying side effect of Trump’s attacks against n Canada is it’s made me actually side with Doug Ford on numerous occasions. And the thing is Ford is cut from the same corrupt cloth as Trump.

Doug Ford unveils new Lake Ontario sign and says ‘we’ll never ever back down’ - Ontario Premier Doug Ford has unveiled a new Lake Ontario sign Saturday afternoon, just days after U.S. President Donald Trump renamed the Great Lake as “Lake America.”

If anyone can tell me how any of his actions would be any different if he were a 12 year old petulant boy suddenly given unlimited power, I’d love to hear it.

@nba.com made “The Most Insane Hustle Plays of the 25-26 Season” yet only seemed to include half a dozen teams, completely leaving off the Raptors and this play in particular, which I think might be the best hustle play of the season. Period. https://youtu.be/ESA8nzDtZt8?si=CN4N00aO6WW3a6tk

Already signed it. The man has zero respect for Canada, so it’s ridiculous he’d be here as an ambassador.

The usual excuse behind the rush to build these data centers is "we can't let China get ahead of us". But we seem to have no problem letting China lap us when it comes to renewable energy. Odd, ain't it?

A tale of two dogs. Both rescues. One is 14 and has spent the vast majority of his time with us. He’s now half blind and osteoarthritis in his hind legs, but still the boss of our house. The other is 8 months and more full of constant energy than any being should realistically be. Dogs are awesome.

Seth Lundy had a great game, but Jamarion Sharp actually looks like a legit player, which I didn’t expect. I’d like to see the Raptors give him a 2-way or at least sign him to the 905 roster to give him a chance. You can’t teach height and he can rebound, protect the paint and has decent hands.
