Thank you, Mary. I appreciate that you quoted Chris. EVERYONE should be listening to/watching Chris Norlund. He is my go-to YouTuber for all the mess that's going on in America and the world right now. He makes it very easy to understand. His life story alone is worth a listen. His book is a good read.

Hooray for Canada, stand yer ground🙌. Loved the “two bit mobster” and gangster reference..more are wising up by the day.

TY Substack writers for your diligence.

Madkowski is playing the ends against the middle.. pathetic, isn’t it. Guess who’s the middle?

Whitewashing is the name of the game , saw this 11+ years ago, entertainment takes a sorry sadistic slide ..

The next financial crisis just crypto and not another housing bubble..well maybe just on the fringe somehow ..the wool pulling has never been played so well or cost so much ..oh right that’s their forté…silly me!

👏 Mary

See ya at the protest

The only real currency in Trumpworld is GRIFT—and the Crypto Carnival is just the latest scam. While Wall Street scrambles to slap lipstick on a blockchain bubble, Trump has already cashed in. His media company is swimming in crypto, his name is stamped on worthless NFTs, and he’s peddling digital snake oil

He called crypto a “scam” right up until he realized there was money to be made—and then made sure the regulatory landscape bent to benefit him. Every whisper of deregulation, every wink from a captured SEC, every loophole written in invisible ink—it all leads back to him. The man who bankrupted casinos is now minting coins with zero morals and zero risk, because the real game isn’t blockchain—it’s laundering legitimacy through influence.

So yes, banks are reckless. But Trump? He’s the goddamn house. And just like in Atlantic City, when it all comes crashing down, he’ll be leaving the suckers holding the bag -- again

Thanks Mary. Another well written piece. Thank goodness Canada chose Carney to lead them. When in the UK he was highly thought of. Looks like countries and whole continents are turning their backs. 50 countries now finally (sad) grouping together to say how awful the Gaza conflict has become. For me, it means the loss of contact with my extended family. I always remember that Semites come from the Palestine region, Zionists and most Jews now come from parts of europe and have little links to the Semite regions. When someone now calls me an antisemitic person, I remind them of 1, I am an Orthodox Jew and 2, I am not a Semite and nor are almost 90% of all Jews.
