The US Vice-President JD Vance’s famous statement within hours of the midterm results that “the reason we lost is the Iran war” may appear to be a calibrated distancing from President Donald Trump. Indeed, he alluded to Trump: “If you’d like to argue it [Iran war] was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree. That’s at least honest.”
The global food crisis is starting to hit home in a major way. Images of starving children on the other side of the planet don’t move people emotionally the way that they did in the 1980s and 1990s. Many people simply don’t care. But now hunger is spreading like wildfire in the United States and Canada. If you can still afford to eat three meals a day on a consistent basis, you should be very grateful because 27 percent of Americans can’t. Those that are wealthy have a really difficult time understanding how soul crushing it can be to not have enough money for food. There are millions upon millions of people in the United States that are regularly going hungry, and that is one of the reasons why there is so much anger and frustration in our society right now.

The Democrats won the 2026 US mid-term Congressional elections by a landslide. Before the vote, President Donald Trump told voters to think of him and his record when they voted – it seems that they did so.
Donald Trump is no longer the master of America First and the GOP.
It’s the apocalypse season, when the media revs into high gear predicting the end of democracy, the outbreak of fascism, maybe a civil war, even outright Nazism. While the instant framing device is the midterm elections, which they expect President Donald Trump to cancel, nullify, buy or steal, the drumbeat has been steady.
The former Soviet administrative unit that emerged as independent Ukraine in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union was bounded by the exact borders of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR). That is, it comprised a wholly unnatural polity whose borders and population had been assembled by successive Soviet leaders for the administrative convenience of their brutal communist dictatorship.
Does a single Canadian MP seek peace or do they all want Ukraine wrecked?
