Unwise
The ascension of Justin Trudeau was greeted with a great deal of hope. But that hope is fading fast. Michael Harris writes: The politician who promised a bright, new day in Canadian politics, has already disappointed First Nations, environmentalists, veterans, electoral reformers, and those expecting swift action on repealing the odious police-state legislation from the Harper era, Bill C-51. Some have called Trudeau’s underwhelming performance a question of “over-promising.” It looks more like bad faith. Trudeau's attempts to dance with Donald Trump are particularly disturbing. ... more »

Donald Trump and Who Created the Concept of Climate Change
Long before Donald Trump was even considering (at least publicly) a run for the Oval Office, he had an interesting viewpoint of the world. While a significant portion of Americans believe that global climate change is not real, Mr. Trump had his own spin on the issue as shown in this tweet; The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive. — Donald J.

Something happened to those planes and it is obvious that the Pentagon was a target. Could the plane that augered into the ground in Pennsylvania have been enroute for this Target? That means that they then used a cruise missal as per a backup plan. We know two planes impacted the twin towers and that provided cover for a controlled demolition.
