The pattern by now is crystal clear; Trump goes in with great bluster and bravado and comes out whipped, muttering inane neutralities, desperately trying to dilute and diffuse the interminable defeats in just about everything significant he vows to do.

Donald J. Trump, 47th President of the United States of America gave his annual State of the Union Address (SOTU) on February 24, 2026, and everybody interested in American, and thus global politics, was talking, discussing, and writing about it.

Over the decades, somehow, people who call themselves ‘conservatives’ have lost their way. Ideologically and politically.

Canada has always been the polite, quiet powerhouse that punches way above its weight geo-politically, and it is doing it again under the impressive leadership chops of its current Prime Minister, Mark Carney.

It’s been a longtime coming, but, finally the majority of Americans are realizing the mistake of electing Trump with a majority in the last election.

When push came to shove, Trump did what he has become quite well-known for, he chickened out (TACO - Trump Always Chickens Out!).

The largest protest in American history was a joke to wannabe king Donald Trump, and his followers. A Joke!! Those who turned out to protest were of the old America, which believed in decency, non-violence and the Constitutional right to protest as a fundamental American ‘right’, signifying the quintessential act of freedom of every American.
