Trump Snark is the Best Snark – Canadian Edition

“We do a little thing called ‘trolling'” ~ Donald J Trump [SOURCE] Justin from Canada will never resign, he doesn’t have the humility needed to abdicate power in the face of overwhelming defeat; he’s genuinely pathological and narcissistic.  Instead, Trudeau will force Canadians to remove him from power. That way he can proclaim his victimhood.  […] The post Trump Snark is the Best Snark � Canadian Edition appeared first on The Last Refuge.

Jeffrey Sachs Outlines Current Geopolitical Events – President Trump is Already Working on Optimal

Interesting discussion between Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Sachs on the current state of geopolitical fluctuations and seemingly chaotic changes.
