When freedom meets fascism
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney landed at Joint Base Andrews last evening. He will meet with Trump later today.
The American fascist in the White House is surrounded by a team of incompetents, extremists, sycophants and degenerates that mark all fascist regimes. The American regime is no different.
The American economy is weakening every day. Soon the shock wave of the supply chain collapse will be fully felt.
The Great Recession of 2008-2009 and the Covid debacle will pale by comparison.
The same people who have vandalized the Canadian-American relationship are the same nihilists who are burning down the economy.
There is no greater fool — and perhaps no bigger scumbag — in Washington, DC, next to Trump than Howard Lutnick. Perhaps no one more directly benefited from the 9/11 attacks that killed 658 of his employees than Howard Lutnick.
He made out very well from all the killing, and he seems unbothered and untroubled by it.
Today, the unctuous Lutnick prowls around the West Wing, filled with arrogance, while Trump’s corrupt sons strike cryptocurrency deals in the UAE.
Here is what Howard Lutnick said about the country that sent its sons and daughters to die in the war started on 9/11, after sheltering almost 7,000 terrified Americans in Gander, Newfoundland:
I think this is really complex because they have been basically feeding off of us for decades upon decades…
…They have their socialist regime and it's basically feeding off of America…
…`The president calls that out all the time. Why do we make cars in Canada? Why do we do our films in Canada? I just don't see how it works out so perfectly.
The Canadian prime minister is no Chuck Schumer.
He is tough as nails, smart and prepared.
He has come to Washington to face a group of vile Americans with the support of a hundred million Americans who know that Mark Carney is a champion of freedom at a time of crisis for both Canada and the United States.
Just days ago, in an interview on “Meet the Press,” the decomposing Trump sought to reassure Americans by saying it was unlikely the US military, led by Pete Hegseth’s third wife, a former Fox News producer and his mistress, would wage war on Canada.
Think about that.
Stephen Marche at The Atlantic did.
Here is the piece. I encourage you to read it because the war that Trump insinuates could happen would destroy the United States of America.
I’ll be writing throughout this historic day as freedom and fascism meet in Washington, DC. Make sure to check out my Substack Notes too.
Today, every loyal American who loves the Constitution is cheering on a Canadian prime minister to stand up to the bullies and nihilists with a razor at all of our throats.
I hope PM Carney shoves the trade war down Trump’s throat.

I enjoy a little camaraderie with the vendors I patronize at the local Sunday morning farmer's market in Dorset, Vermont. I've been buying my coffee beans from a young mom for the past several years and got a vicarious kick watching her expand the business from farmers market only to a local store presence and now online. She tells me the tariffs have put her in a serious bind though between raising prices which might scare away customers, or not, which means not having enough profit margin to keep the business afloat.
We grow very little coffee in the United States (mainly in Hawaii). It will never be a growth industry domestically, so what is the point of tariffs on countries that export coffee beans? There is no economic benefit or altruistic rationale behind extorting bribes from Juan Valdez and El Exigente. It's pointless of course, unless the point is to fleece every country in the world at the same time.
There is only so much spinning the Fox News spin doctors can do, but in time its audience will twirl itself into the brick wall of reality. Somebody will benefit from tariffs, but it won't be you, or I, or any member of the cult.
