Former Arizona state representative Austin Smith (R - Maricopa County) was sentenced to two years of probation and barred from running for public office for five years after forging signatures on his election petition. Defense counsel Kurt Altman pleaded for economic leniency from the Court because Smith's "finances are not extraordinary," so he was only fined $5,500.

Look how "Little Napoleon" and the US Border Patrol showed up at Roosevelt High School yesterday-- with assault rifles: img.apmcdn.org

Are we living in Pashtunistan or Iraqistan?

Of course there are people on drudge.com who are posting about the demonstrations in Iran like we should care about that while we are undergoing our own fascist and financial crises right here in the US.

FYI: Iran's "Health Transformation Plan" initiated in 2014 has made substantial strides in covering over 90% of the population and reducing out-of-pocket expenditures. (Source: p4h.world)

Meanwhile here in the US we are lucky that Congress may vote on extending our ACA subsidies.

I bet more people in the US declare bankruptcy every year over unpaid medical bills than in Iran.

Royal LePage and Realtor.com have released new analyses showing the trend. Royal LePage recently concluded a study that showed 54% of Canadians who currently own residential property in America say they're planning to sell those homes within the next year. Out of those, 62% say the Dummkopf Trumpf regime is the main reason they are looking to sell.
Phil Soper, President and CEO of Royal LePage, said perceived antagonism from the US is contributing to Canadians souring on owning property in the US.

"The polarizing political climate in the US is prompting many Canadians to reconsider how and where they spend their time and money. Canadians have been the most important foreign investors in America's residential real estate market for years, and a significant wave of property sales would leave a noticeable mark on the regional economies that snowbirds support," Soper said.
"Places like Florida, Arizona, and California stand to lose millions in economic activity each year, and thousands of neighbors, if Canadian owners pull their capital from US housing markets."


Approximately 500,000 Canadians currently own property in Florida and every winter Canadians either visit these winter homes in Florida or other parts of the US. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is leading a boycott against Republican-led Florida. Non-property owners vacation in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, or Mexico during winter. In the Caribbean Sea, the Turks and Caicos Islands enjoy so many Canadian tourists that a hospital has been accredited for their use, although Canucks must still purchase travel insurance to ensure they can afford any medical treatment they receive at this hospital.

Why Canadians would bother with Florida in the first place is a mystery to me, with its incredibly loose firearm laws, high gun violence rate*, capital punishment, non-fluoridated water, unvaccinated people, ICE gulags and police officers deputized to enforce ICE laws, rising property and insurance costs, and the increased volatility of hurricanes caused by global climate change.

The Trumpf junta's demands for Canadians to be fingerprinted and fill out DHS paperwork if they visit the US for longer than 30 days should have been "the straw that broke the camel's back."

*In Dec 2025, Canada issued an updated travel advisory and the danger of violence for those visiting the US: Travel Advisory for Canadians

In an average year, 3,108 people die and 6,358 are wounded by guns in Florida (pop. 23,760,000). In the entire country of Canada and its 41,548,666 people, Canadians suffer an average of 300 gun-related homicides per year.


The role of the MNARNG in the aftermath of the ICE invasion of Minnesota is unclear. The Minnesota National Guard has more than 13,000 personnel, including Citizen-Soldiers, Airmen, and civilian employees. The 34th Infantry Division falls under the MNARNG and is commanded by Major General Shawn P. Manke: MG Shawn P. Manke Bio

Investigating the homicide of Renee Nicole Good is the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), a 533-employee agency overseen by MN AG Keith Ellison: MBCA

The malevolent Trumpf junta calculated the numbers to gain tactical numerical superiority over Minnesota law-enforcement by deploying 2,000 Brownshirts. Minneapolis City PD (~600), Saint Paul PD (~575), and the Minnesota State Patrol (~886) are outnumbered if any Mayor or Governor Tim Walz want to use them to monitor, shoo away, arrest, or deter ICE agents.

Do the people of Minnesota want to see more heavily-armed dangerous personnel on their streets?
