Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one."

“In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.” — George Orwell, “1984”
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr.'s example misstates percentage changes. From $100 to $600 is a 500% increase ((600-100)/100 × 100). From $600 to $100 is an 83.3% decrease ((100-600)/600 × 100). A 600% decrease from $600 would reach a negative price. newsweek.com/rfk-jr-trump-d… cnn.com/2025/09/23/pol… calculatorsoup.com/calculators/al…

Doug Ford is now exempting himself, his office and his cabinet from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. FOIs are a basic way journalists hold governments in Canada to account. This crosses the line between a healthy democracy and a decline toward autocracy. This cannot stand.

Erika Kirk: “Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband, at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift, excuse me, grit…” This is the greatest Freudian slip of all time.

Denmark tracked over a million people for their first 21 years. They found those who had vaccines were linked to a staggering amount of autism, asthma, and 48 other chronic conditions. That staggering amount was exactly ZERO.

Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered. U.S. intel assessed MBS approved of the murder. Trump says Khashoggi was “extremely controversial” and adds “things happen”.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
