1. Dear @jkenney, to understand President Trump’s position on Canada, you have to go back to the 2016 election and President Trump’s position on the NAFTA renegotiation.
If you did not follow the subsequent USMCA process, this might be the ah-ha moment you need to understand Trump’s strategy.

2. During the 2016 election President Trump repeatedly said he wanted to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Both Canada and Mexico were reluctant to open the trade agreement to revision, but ultimately President Trump had the authority and support from an election victory to do exactly that.
In order to understand the issue, you must remember President Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer each agreed the NAFTA agreement was fraught with problems and was best addressed by scrapping it and creating two seperate bilateral trade agreements. One between the USA and Mexico, and one between the USA and Canada.
In the decades that preceded the 2017 push to redo the trade pact, Canada had restructured their economy to: (1) align with progressive climate change; and (2) take advantage of the NAFTA loophole. The Canadian government did not want to reengage in a new trade agreement.
Canada has deindustrialized much of their manufacturing base to support the ‘environmental’ aspirations of their progressive politicians. Instead, Canada became an importer of component goods where companies then assembled those imports into finished products to enter the U.S. market without tariffs. Working with Chinese manufacturing companies, Canada exploited the NAFTA loophole.
Justin Trudeau was strongly against renegotiating NAFTA, and stated he and Chrystia Freeland would not support reopening the trade agreement.
President Trump didn’t care about the position of Canada and was going forward. Trudeau said he would not support it. Trump focused on the first bilateral trade agreement with Mexico.

3. When the U.S. and Mexico had agreed to terms of the new trade deal and 80% of the agreement was finished, representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce informed Trudeau that his position was weak and if the U.S. and Mexico inked their deal, Canada would be shut out.
The U.S Chamber of Commerce was upset because they were kept out of all the details of the agreement between the U.S. and Mexico. In actuality the U.S CoC was effectively blocked from any participation.
When they went to talk to the Canadians the CoC was warning them about what was likely to happen. NAFTA would end, the U.S. and Mexico would have a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), and then Trump was likely to turn to Trudeau and say NAFTA is dead, now we need to negotiate a separate deal for U.S-Canada.
Trudeau was told a direct bilateral trade agreement between the U.S and Canada was the worst possible scenario for the Canadian government. Canada would lose access to the NAFTA loophole and Canada’s entire economy was no longer in a position to negotiate against the size of the USA. Trump would win every demand.
Following the warning, Trudeau went to visit Nancy Pelosi to find out if congress was likely to ratify a new bilateral trade agreement between the U.S and Mexico. Pelosi warned Trudeau there was enough political support for the NAFTA elimination from both parties. Yes, the bilateral trade agreement was likely to find support.

Google’s single data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa consumed 1 billion gallons of fresh water in 2024. One facility. One year. Enough to supply every home in Iowa for five days.
The reason they need fresh water is pure chemistry. Evaporative cooling towers work by running water over hot surfaces and letting it evaporate. 80% of the water a data center pulls in literally vanishes into the atmosphere as steam. You can’t recycle steam.
The remaining 20% becomes concentrated mineral waste. Calcium, magnesium, silica. Every cycle through the cooling loop makes the water more corrosive. After enough passes, it starts clogging pumps and eating through heat exchangers. Multi-million dollar equipment destroyed by limescale.
Recycled wastewater carries even more of these minerals from the start. You could treat it, but less than 1% of U.S. water is recycled. Most cities don’t even have separate pipes to deliver reclaimed water to industrial customers. A data center wanting to use recycled water would essentially need to build its own treatment plant on site. Meanwhile, municipal potable water costs almost nothing.
So they just drink from the tap. Across all its data centers, Google used 8.1 billion gallons in 2024, nearly double what it used three years earlier. The company claims its water stewardship projects “replenished” 4.5 billion gallons. Those projects aren’t even in the same watersheds where they’re pulling the water. Same playbook as carbon offsets. Consume locally, offset globally, call it sustainable.
The trajectory is the real story. U.S. data center water consumption could quadruple by 2028. That’s 68 billion gallons for cooling alone, before the 211 billion gallons consumed indirectly through electricity generation. Two-thirds of new data centers since 2022 are being built in regions already facing water scarcity.
Nobody’s asking why they use fresh water. They’re asking what happens to the towns sharing a water main with a facility that drinks like 50,000 people showed up overnight.

Correction on “you can’t recycle steam.” You can. The Navy does it constantly. Condense it back to liquid, return it to the loop.
What you can’t do is recycle water that was never contained in the first place.
Data center cooling towers are open-loop by design. Water evaporates directly into the atmosphere to carry heat away. The evaporation IS the cooling mechanism. There’s no condenser to collect it, no pipe to return it. It becomes vapor spread across miles of sky. That’s the 80% that vanishes.
Could you build a closed-loop system instead? Microsoft announced one in 2024. Chip-level liquid cooling, zero evaporation, same water recirculating indefinitely. Saves 33 million gallons per facility per year.
Google hasn’t done it because evaporative cooling is the most energy-efficient method available. Closed-loop chillers use 15-20% more electricity over the facility’s lifetime. On a 300MW campus, that’s tens of millions in additional annual power costs. Municipal water costs almost nothing.
The Navy built condensers because wasting water at sea means death. Google wastes water because the pricing signal says it’s free. The engineering solution exists. The economics don’t reward it.

And yes, evaporated water doesn’t vanish forever. It re-enters the water cycle as precipitation. The issue is where and when. A billion gallons evaporated from Council Bluffs, Iowa doesn’t fall back on Council Bluffs, Iowa. It enters atmospheric circulation and precipitates wherever wind patterns carry it.
New week, same strategy.
I’ve used the same strategy back when I was making $2,000 per week to now 5 figure weeks.
- Wait for 9:30 or news
- Find my draw on liquidity (PDH/L, Prev session H/L, EQ H/L)
- Mark off 4h or 1h FVGs or High/Lows
- Wait for a Stop Run at that level
- 5M or 15M Breaker or iFVG for starter position
- TP at 2R or Draw on Liquidity
This app will make you think you need this new indicator or this new strategy.
No, you don’t.
Half the job is showing up and not being an idiot & trading for more than yourself.

My family owns two small apartments above a building in Queens where my dad had his dental office. One of them we were renting below market as a favor to someone who needed it. He died. The other one we were renting to someone because my dad knew his mother, and he agreed knowing that his mom would make sure he paid the rent. She died, he stopped paying. Now it's going to cost us thousands of dollars in lost rent and legal fees to evict him, and we aren't inclined to rent either apartment out thereafter, given that the situation for landlords is bound to get even worse under Mamdani. So two more apartments off the market. If we did rent them, unlike my generous dad I'd charge a huge premium for the risk of non-payment and eviction costs. This is what NYC "pro-tenant" policies accomplish, they make life more expensive for everyone else to benefit the lucky few who either have rent control or take advantage of the system to live rent-free while it take months or years to evict them
Chat GPT suggests that we avoid landlord-tenant NYC hassles by converting the apartments to office space.
Were it just one isolated incidence that landed approximate to children being trafficked, I might dismiss it as an unfortunate coincidence, but here is where we are at with Erika Kirk:
1) Turning Point USA, (at the insistence of Tyler Bowyer who introduced Erika to Charlie and knew her for years prior) opens their headquarters directly across from Arizona Mills, one of the highest places for child sex trafficking in the state. A mere weeks later, Charlie and Erika have their first date.
Erika is for some reason unable to recall how she met/knew Tyler.
2) Erika Kirk ran Romanian Angels to work with Romanian orphans. She partnered with the U.S Marines and worked with Colonel Otto Busher. Colonel Otto Bush is subsequently accused of trafficking and prostituting underage Romanian orphans.
3) Erika recently launched her “Make Heaven Crowded ” tour with Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship. She did this despite the fact that his church is currently facing 12 lawsuits from 2025, with accusations that they trafficked and abused minors from a Romanian orphanage. You can read more about that here:
ministrywatch.com/more-lawsuits-…
4) Erika lived in China to work with Child sex trafficking victims. She today denies she ever lived in China despite multiple past interviews in which she confirms she lived in Chongqing. Why lie? It’s worth noting that according to our state department, that area is a hotbed for child trafficking so it might be prudent for us to understand exactly which charity she worked with victims.
5) Jillian lived in the #1 neighborhood for child sex trafficking.

It is worth noting that both Tyler and Erika attended ASU (unironically the number 1 University mentioned in the Epstein files. And bother Tyler and Erika spent time, during the same year, in Romania.

Here’s a timeline.
Here’s a timeline.
Prior to January 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) was leading an active criminal investigation into Epstein and Maxwell’s alleged co-conspirators. This built on the 2019-2021 probes that led to Maxwell’s conviction for sex trafficking minors. Survivors of Epstein’s network provided key evidence, including statements naming other powerful individuals involved in or enabling the trafficking ring, which reportedly spanned decades and involved over 1,000 victims.  
Court filings during the Biden administration (e.g., in 2022) referenced an “ongoing pursuit of Epstein’s co-conspirators,” indicating the investigation was live and serious.

Kojeve has a good reason for why beastiality is wrong without some pose of "animal rights" (fake). Beastiality is wrong because it's disgusting & human beings have decided that we have the right to not share a civilization with perverts who fuck animals-- that such people should be deprived of their rights, detained, removed from society etc.
It is not out of concern for the animal-- it is out of concern for the fact that someone who would fuck an animal is being allowed into society. The victim of the crime is us, the broader human community, who would prefer to create a society that excludes animal fuckers.
"Animal Rights" are only ever truly the "rights of human beings with regard to animals" -- if you made meat illegal, it would not because the animals petitioned, but because vegans did, & imposed their moral sentimentality upon us by legislative fiat.
Jerí se va, el problema de fondo se queda.
Lo que estamos viviendo es la consecuencia del debilitamiento institucional perpetuo que ya sabíamos era el riesgo anunciado desde el 2022 cuando hicimos @lapropuestaperu y que incluímos en el sustento técnico.

Cuando la ley pierde autoridad y las instituciones se erosionan desde dentro, el país deja de gobernarse por reglas y empieza a gobernarse por intereses personales.
¿A quiénes les conviene esto?

El equilibrio entre Ejecutivo y Congreso está distorsionado, la fiscalización es hoy negociación (lobby sucio) y la institucionalidad está erosionándose desde dentro.
The files contain devastating pleas from a woman who survived Epstein’s network and says she has spent years being gaslit, questioning her own lawyers, describing coercive settlements, deleted records, harassment, media smears, and silence.
If this is what “legal representation” looked like for Epstein network survivors, the public and survivors deserve answers.

The distressed communications appear to be from survivor Sarah Ransome, though her name is redacted.
She alleges she signed a settlement under duress while heavily medicated, after suicide attempts tied to trauma and legal pressure. She attaches what she says is evidence, but it’s not available to be seen in the DOJ’s release.
She also says she realized Epstein’s network had placed a “handler” in her life connected to Jes Staley’s circle at JPMorgan. She claims he posed as a romantic partner, followed her across borders, moved into her home, and worked to keep her from reporting or testifying about rape and trafficking. She said he also drove her to suicide, and she barely survived an attempt.
She alleges he used a false name, abandoned her when Epstein’s case broke and has since left JPMorgan. She asks where he is in multiple emails to attorneys.
(We found him working at a major pharmaceutical company.)
She says she wanted to go to trial, but her lawyers stopped it.
That demands scrutiny.

1/🚨On March 20, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein received a draft agenda for a meeting titled "Preparing for Pandemics."
The meeting would feature the Director General of the WHO and the President of the Red Cross.
Two weeks later, Bill Gates gave his famous TED talk: "The Next Outbreak? We're Not Ready."
The planning documents went through Epstein first. Thread 🧵👇

2/15 The email came from IPI — the International Peace Institute, a UN-adjacent think tank run by Terje Rød-Larsen, Epstein's self-described "best friend."
IPI staffer Walter Kemp wrote to Rød-Larsen:
"Let's discuss next steps, for example how to officially involve the WHO and ICRC (i.e. co-branding)."
"I hope we can pull this off!"

3/15 Rød-Larsen forwarded it to Epstein at 2:33 AM.
Ten hours later, Epstein forwarded it to a REDACTED RECIPIENT.
He wasn't just receiving these documents. He was routing them onward — to someone we can't see.

Much of the discussion about the US Secretary of State's speech at the Munich Security Conference has reinforced its own Eurocentric logic by obscuring the context. But it can only be understood within *its own* context.🧵
The fall of US imperialism portends the end of "western civilization" as Rubio called it. It is a phase of human history that began with chattel slavery & the colonization of the Americas. 2/n
But that phase of human history is coming to an end. Rubio's speech is thus a clarion call, a plea for white unity against the Global Majority, the masses of the world that have had enough. It is a reflection of Western weakness, not strength. 3/n
