American politics
Waking up on Canada Day, it seems odd that the first news I read online today was about American politics.
Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ awaits final Senate vote
Trump says DOGE is a monster that may ‘go back and eat Elon’
Even the Canadian news involves their President Chump.
Canadians reclaim Maple Leaf flag amid Trump threats
Donald Trump live: US Senate votes on amendments to ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
It’s like watching old Soviet-era politics.

39 percent
Ole Trumpy down south has hit the lowest 100-day approval rating as President of the U. S. of A. since F. D. Roosevelt’s third term, according to USA Today. He now sits at 39%. I hope he continues with his belligerent rhetoric toward Canada and the rest of the world so he can be ousted from presiding.
Pope Francis passing
The Catholic Pope, Francis, has passed away.
He was the only Pope who offered an apology for residential school abuses in Canada.
RIP
(No, I’m not Catholic. But he was a good leader.)
171717
Simple things amuse simple minds. Haha! I see a pattern on something – a clock that says 12:34, or an odometer that says 171717, or a cash register that says $44.44 – and think, “Oooh, gotta make a wish.”
Well at least I wasn’t driving … then I’d likely wish I weren’t.
cough subsiding
It’s more than 6 months in, and my cough is finally subsiding.
My doctor said that he found nothing in my x-rays, and the breathing test showed nothing unusual. It’s just a cough.
Nonetheless, I’m still surrounded by particulates at work and, thus, coughing.
never seen before
This man must have an extensive list of all the things he has “never seen before”. He likes the phrase, I suspect, as it suggests that he has “seen” whatever it is long before anyone else has. I’ve never seen before anyone use this phrase as much as Trumpy Don.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” Trump claimed in a lengthy post Sunday night.
