So basically Mark Carney lied to Canadians when he faked outrage about the sale. Color me shocked.

The damn Brits are going to take our USA Soccer Coach Pochettino back to the UK. Once again, it’s WAR!
BREAKING: Manchester United has reportedly reached an agreement in principle to appoint ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino as its next coach if Michael Carrick is sacked.
Sky's @RobHarris has the latest.

Ole Louise Lucas, Virginia drug dealer extraordinaire cosplaying as a Virginia state senator, is cooked. She did not get much support from Gov. Abigail Spanberger. Even Abigail knows that the evidence is really strong and undeniable.
Sen. Louise Lucas was not present at the press conference today with Democratic leadership and the governor. The governor was asked about this and working with Lucas moving forward. Here is her response:

Abigail Spanberger’s Virginia. This is unbelievable.
🚨A new law went into effect in Virginia that makes it easier for accused criminals to seal their crimes from public view.
Supporters insist the idea behind the law was to help accused and convicted criminals get jobs and housing. But the new law also makes it more difficult for the public to find out if prosecutors botched or dropped cases and allowed criminals to walk free.
There have been some cases where 7News has shown Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and his office making major mistakes or dropping charges in cases like Abdul Jalloh, who is now accused of murdering a single mother – and a total stranger - earlier this year.
But under this new Clean Slate law, those mistakes, dropped charges, or lenient plea deals can be hidden from the public.
For instance, today, this new law blocked 7News from seeing what happened in a sexual assault case.

Just so we are clear, the Democrats have zero plans for affordability or Medicare for all. Those were slogans to get elected. The real reason is to get revenge and wipe out as much of the opposition before 2028. Nothing else in Congress will get done except for a few token bills with catchy names like the Affordability Act but peppered with outrageous add ons therefore forcing a Trump veto so they can blame him. For those who voted for these idiots, I guess you are no different. You’d rather have open borders, sanctuary cities, reduced social services for Americans, no solution to homelessness, no affordable housing, more crimes committed by illegals, higher inflation and gas prices so you can cheer your heroes like useful idiot here @RepRobertGarcia .
Robert Garcia told Stephen Miller to "Lawyer Up"
But given two chances to do so, he can't say if he believes Miller committed a crime, much less what crime that might be.

Imagine that. You own a chunk of land in freedom loving Texas, and the new Gov thinks she can tell you that you can’t sell it to certain people, even if they are the highest bidder. She also believes she can strip county zoning boards of their responsibility. Under what authority? Let the performative grandstanding begin!

Democrats are off to an encouraging start. We’ve got a Grand Theft Auto participant and a Somali man under daycare fraud investigation flipping another seat in MN. It’s no wonder the party wants felons to vote. They’re already in Congress
🚨BREAKING🚨
Democrat Lakesha Womack has defeated Incumbent Republican Tim Moore in the NC-14 U.S. House Election.
This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.

Hold on folks. What we saw today in the U.S. is showing signs of being contagious. Any continuation tomorrow of today’s festivities could create a global recession. It’s what happens when the globe’s biggest economy does not feel well.
BREAKING: South Korea’s KOSPI collapses -9%, triggering a trading halt, after opening for the first time since today’s US market decline.
The index is now down -47% from its record high.

Absolutely. And this was the plan all along.
What started as trade and cooperation turned into unelected commissioners rewriting national law, punishing governments that refuse to line up, and selling every new power grab as "European and democratic values".
The EU is not a union of free countries. It's a TOTALITARIAN system calling itself a democracy.

Brooo!
😭 Comedian Jimmy Carr brought up Kimi Antonelli’s F1 championship during his stand-up show:
“I don’t like it because he’s Italian and he won the F1 championship in a Mercedes. When the Italians and the Germans come together, bad things happen.”
BROOO 😭💀

It should never have been. Good riddance LIV.

Reality is setting in now that the capital markets have realized what US voters have done. It’s going to be a very cold winter for stocks. Hope you all like coal in your stocking.

Early on in my career I worked for Jamie Dimon. He was Sandy Weil’s right hand man, and the folks in the field were huge fans. Straightest shooting CEO you will ever meet. No sugarcoating. Never knew of his politics until years later, but it doesn’t matter. If Dimon, one of the shrewdest businessmen around, is turning on the Democrats, it tells you something. Any further tilt to the left could spell big problems for the economy. Vote wisely.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon sharply criticizes Democrats, arguing their policies fail because they don’t understand how the real world works: “I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots.” 🇺🇸
“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots.
They have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works.
Almost every single policy they’ve rolled out has failed.”

Another European country in political turmoil: Belgium. Can’t say things are going well in the EU nowadays. Maybe if they focused less on saber rattling against the U.S. and more on their deteriorating situation, they fare better.
🚨 BREAKING: Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever is meeting King Philippe today to offer his resignation as his coalition teeters on the brink of collapse over attempts to plug a €10 billion budget gap.

The EU is breaking apart, and may explain Ursula’s push to get Canada onboard and the UK back in the fold. More and more member states are realizing that what they are seeing today is not what they signed up for, as per Slovenia’s PM below. Whether they are economic, political, or about sovereignty, the problems are piling up and can no longer be ignored, especially with La Pen in France and Weidel in Germany gaining power.
Ko smo se odločali za vstop v EU, si ni nihče predstavljal, da bo v kaki njeni članici in uniji nasploh mogoče brez posledic:
1. Razveljaviti predsedniške volitve (Romunija);
2. Ukiniti informativni program na nacionalni RTV (Madžarska);
3. Poslati policijo na Ustavno sodišče (Poljska);
4. Tri tedne pred volitvami poslati v zapor predsednika stranke, ki vodi v anketah (Slovenija);
5. Zasesti nacionalno RTV s policijo in zamenjati vodstvo (Poljska);
6. Prekiniti mandate vodstvu nacionalne RTV in izvesti čistko zaposlenih (Slovenija);
7. Poslati v zapor člane prejšnje vlade brez možnosti obrambe (Madžarska);
8. Podeliti skoraj milijon državljanstev ilegalnim migrantom po hitrem postopku (Španija);
9. Zapreti novo Nuklearno elektrarno in zgraditi plinovod do Rusije (Nemčija);
10. Obdavčiti ogljične energetske vire ob hkratnem zapiranju NE ter preseliti industrijo v države z nizkimi ekološkimi standardi pod pretvezo, da tako rešujemo planet.
Nastala je EU, ki se mora reševati sama pred sabo.
