Following an intense backlash this morning,
the White House has now taken down Trump’s Truth Social repost
of a video showing a racist clip
⚠️depicting the Obamas as apes.
The post was up for 12 hours.
As we reported earlier, a few hours ago the White House had initially tried to brush off the outrage,
defending Trump’s repost as “an internet meme video”.
Politicians from both parties have this morning condemned the post
and urged Trump to remov…

So this is percolating and the results so far are not surprising.
I'd vote NO, for the following reasons:
- oil demand continues to decline and risk is high we'll end up with an expensive underutilized pipeline. Therefore high risk we'll end up subsidizing any private entity that builds this thing.
- why would we invest public dollars to support infrastructure for a product where 75% of the profit leaves Canada? There has to be a net benefit, beyond steel sales and jobs, for this project to be considered.

- the B.C. government must also have a final vote as they have to give up land and provide support.
- we don't need additional oil tankers on our west coast.
- and most importantly, with this MOU, Canada pretty much declared we aren't serious about protecting the environment or fighting climate change. We're oil whores. Harsh but....

Noem faced Republican criticism
Republicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden,
portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration’s mess.
But she did come under some harsh questioning by members of her own party.
Senator Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for…
