Trump is not the only one with world-scale megalomania.

"Elon Musk lays out a new vision of AI satellites as SpaceX acquires xAI"

Sez he wants to put one million satellites into orbit...

If Alberta Falls, Canada Falls

"If Alberta Falls, Canada Falls

"Finally. Someone in the public has spoken the word ‘treason’.

How else to describe the manipulations of the Quislings who have been meeting with Trump officials to break Alberta from Canada?

For the last year, I have been calling out the “Donbas Playbook” being used by the MAGA machine. I have raised questions about the massive slush fund of American money being put on the table to drive the break up our nation. And I have been calling out the manipulations of MAGA Premier Danielle Smith.

The stakes are getting higher."

Any vibes from the US sources on this? Angry but not surprised.....

Trump Shits Again on NATO Allies

"We've never needed them; we have never really asked anything of them," Trump said of his NATO allies in an interview with Fox News in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday.

"You know, they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

Charlie Angus take on Davos


"Donald Trump’s collapse at Davos was worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy.

He came to Europe “full of sound and fury” with Western allies quaking in their boots. He demanded that the people of Greenland submit. He threatened his former allies in Europe. He bragged about a military invasion by saying that “there is no going back.”

But Trump arrived one day late...."

DOW up 680.

Another object lesson on why not to time the market. IIRC someone here said something about feeling good yesterday about cashing in.

Canada Prepares for the What-if Moment Charlie Angus / The Resistance Jan 20, 2026

"As I write this, Canadian military planners are working on scenarios to deal with an invasion from the United States. This is no drill, and time in the short term is not on our side. We must be prepared. The threat to Canada is coming, and it is serious. Canada must move quickly and with determination.

According to a report in the Globe and Mail, Canada’s military is planning for the possibility of a North American war....."

For the Love of God all sane Americans, do something before it is too late.

Iceland next?

Seems to me at least as militarily "strategic" as Greenland, located mid-Atlantic and all that...

MAGA's Race War Targets War Graves in Holland

Charlie Angus / The Resistance
Jan 04, 2026

Over Christmas, I was stopped in my tracks by the news that the United States government removed commemorations to Black American war dead in the Netherlands. The move has triggered a great deal of anger in Europe. The Dutch people treat the Allied war dead with a care and respect that borders on the sacred.

The fact that the United States moved against a Black war memorial during the Christmas season only deepened the outrage.

It is a tradition in Holland to light candles on the Allied war graves on Christmas Eve. Dutch families adopt particular graves. The duty to care for those graves passes from parent to child.

These commemorations at the Canadian war cemeteries at Groesbeek and Holten mean a great deal to Canadians who have loved ones lying in those fields. It makes us feel as if our uncles and granddads who never came home are lying with family......
