30 per day in the first year...Trump had 8 per day in the last year during his first year of the 2nd term. The threats are viable threats that the secret service had to investigate or mitigate. There were several assassination attempts against Obama...like the one stopped at Mar-a-Lago. Secret service management has been changed dramatically...in fact there have been massive broad changes in all departments of national and domestic security...several top positions that have been given to completely unqualified people. Do you think having incompetent heads of departments might have led to some of the security breaches...like an engineer sprinting through a security checkpoint with 7 security personnel guarding it, shooting one, and making it within 200 feet of the doors to one of the most prominent dinners in Washington? An 18-year old shooter climbing a low rooftop, while security and police are all around an open-air venue, as this teen terror shoots the President in the ear with his first shot with virtually no training or experience? These are failures in policing/security. Look at who they had leading Homeland Security and ICE? Look at who they have leading the FBI? Look at who they have leading the now fucked up War in Iran that should have been an absolute victory?! "Mines? Oh yeah, they could salt the entire Strait with mines like my margarita!" - Pete Hegseth with his frat boys after the Strait is blocked! Cheers!

+1! Cheers!

Again...bullshit! Take a look at the stats. Obama had 30 threats a day...Trump 8 into April 2026...George W. Bush like 5! Cheers!

Yeah...again, please fact check your comments...take a look at the stats I put up in response to Cubs. Obama had 30 threats a day compared to Trump's 8...that's a big difference no matter how you look at it. Certainly had more to do with race than policy! Whereas with Trump, it's policy rather than race! Cheers!

Hah! SS, FBI did a better job of protecting them and negating attempts...AI compared attempts against Obama and Trump per day...30 to 8...per day! No one wanted to kill Obama...what a fucking joke you guys are! Cheers! Obama: President Barack Obama faced a significantly high volume of threats, with some reports suggesting he was the most threatened president in United States history. While the Secret Service does not release exact, total figures to avoid encouraging copycats, here is the breakdown of information based on investigations and reports during his presidency: ABC7 Chicago Daily and Yearly Rates: In 2009, it was reported that Obama faced roughly 30 potential death threats a day, which was described by researchers as a 400% increase over the ~3,000 yearly threats faced by President George W. Bush. Total Investigations: Some reports cited unnamed Secret Service officials indicating that over 40,000 individual threats were investigated by the Secret Service between 2008 and 2012. Contradicting Official Statements: In December 2009, then-Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan disputed reports of a 400% increase, stating that the volume of threats was "comparable to that under George W. Bush and Bill Clinton". Initial Spike: Following his election in 2008, the Secret Service was following up on roughly 50 threats per day, which was considered an unusually high number compared to previous presidential transitions. The Atlantic +5 Key Incidents and Context: Security Concerns: Due to the high number of threats, Obama received Secret Service protection earlier than any previous candidate, starting in May 2007. White House Shooting (2011): Oscar Ortega-Hernandez fired several shots from a rifle at the White House residential area; Obama was not home, but the event was a major security breach. Assassination Plots: Several plots were foiled, including a 2008 plot by white supremacists in Tennessee and another in Denver during the Democratic National Convention. Online Threats: Many of the threats investigated originated on social media platforms. Wikipedia +3 While the total number of threats is often cited in the tens of thousands, the majority were likely not deemed "credible" or actionable by the Secret Service, though they are all mandated to be investigated. Trump: As of April 2026, Donald Trump has faced an extraordinarily high volume of threats, with reports indicating roughly eight threats per day, totaling thousands per year. These include multiple high-profile incidents, such as two back-to-back assassination attempts in 2024 and a 2026 shooting incident. The U.S. Secret Service manages these persistent risks. CityNews Halifax +2 High-Volume Threats: Reports suggest an average of roughly eight threats per day, or approximately 2,000 per year, according to a former Secret Service Director. Assassination Attempts (2024): The Secret Service dealt with two major assassination attempts against Donald Trump within two months in 2024. 2026 Security Incidents: On April 25, 2026, a shooting incident occurred near a security screening area before President Trump was to speak at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, which was the third major violent incident in two years. Previous Incidents: In 2018, a Utah man sent an envelope containing castor beans, which was intercepted. Ongoing Risk: The KBTX News 3 reports that the high number of public events for the President necessitates constant, elevated security. YouTube +6 These incidents highlight a heightened threat landscape, as discussed in Raksha Anirveda.

About time...good job Carney! Canada launches its own sovereign wealth fund. Cheers! https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/04/27/prime-minister-carney-announces-canada-strong-fund-canadas-first

Which violence problem are you talking about...Presidential assassination attempts (transparent and non-disclosed), which happen 1-5 times every presidential term on average, or mass shootings which happen once every two days in the United States? The point being made is just so fucked up by you and others in terms of ACTUAL violence! No one approves of presidential assassinations except the President and Bibi who just took out an entire administration in Iran...but don't let that strike any sort of chord or irony with you! It's only the liberal left that doesn't admit any sort of violence problem! Cheers!

I've heard people in Canada say they wanted Justin Trudeau dead. Only a moron would assume that a lot of people didn't want Obama dead...and it had nothing to do with policy! They just couldn't come out and say it because they would be ostracized or cancelled. There is a reason Michelle Obama and Barack Obama were portrayed as chimpanzees...for the same reason it's easier to say "wipe out" Iranians than Israeli's...one group is perceived as less than human than the other. The exact same reason why Africa and Haiti are "shitholes" according to the President of the United States! Cheers!

They can finish off Iran...but it's still going to take six months to clear the mines from the Strait...and that's from a Pentagon source, not Iran! Of course, the Trump administration says it won't take that long, since the nuclear material was obliterated two months ago and Iran was COMPLETELY debilitated last month! You think insurers will let ships through without most of the mines being removed? Probably not. Cheers!

Hmmm...3 attempts on one President? C'mon...seems a bit high! And nary an injury except some fake blood on the ear and cheek...could easily be done. He has wrestled before! I think there needs to be a Congressional investigation and numerous podcasts should cover this. MSM is well-known for hoaxes, lies and fake elections. And liberals are very easy to manipulate with TDS stories these days...if a room full of them had their iPhones out and reporting on this, you could get a ton of sympathy from liberal voters come mid-terms and the 2028 election. Plus...no one gives a rat's ass about Iran/Strait, Oil Prices, Ukraine/Russia, tariffs, Trump-Epstein Files, ICE, Constitutional Laws broken, illegal war acts without Congressional approval, Canada, Greenland, NATO, struggling U.S alcohol companies, Trump family grift and graft, and now building the Ballroom makes total sense from a security standpoint! Cheers!

Could be fake news...a conspiracy! What better way to boost sagging ratings and distract from the Trump-Epstein Files with a fake assassination in a ballroom full of liberal and conservative media to witness and record it. He shot an officer, yet they didn't shoot him and kill him? Somehow subdued a guy running furiously through the checkpoint with a gun firing? A Cal-Tech, liberal, teacher from California...can you get any more stereotypical of a TDS liberal? Maybe a disturbed individual paid off to take the fall? All about as plausible as a rigged 2020 election with no evidence of any fraud! And now the main stream media is complicit! Cheers!

Unfortunately, we are going to see more and more of this as the mid-terms get closer and probably till at least through to the next election in 2028. Nuts...like the 60's and 70's all over again! Cheers!

Nutjob with guns taken down at correspondent's dinner! These fucking idiots are just perpetuating the lone liberal assassin stereotype. Trump ratings should be on the rise Monday! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/26/us/white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooter-teacher-invs

But they didn't state the actual dollar amounts for common/normal people...both Trump and RFK Jr. discussed percentages. If they had stated dollar amounts and the incorrect percentage...no problem...just a mistake. But only percentages make them look just plain stupid! Cheers!

Not even close. As much as football players are considered "dumb jocks", memorizing a football playbook is an enormous mental task. Then depending on whether you are a defensive or offensive player, one of those numerous plays gets called every 1-2 minutes, maybe up to 8-10 different plays in a row, and you have to remember the play, and which route you have to run or throw to! Miss a route and you miss the throw or create chaos for your teammates. Cheers!

Basketball is terrific...also Canadian! Cheers!

Read the Globe & Mail and the National Post...one is left of center, the other is right of center. I wouldn't watch the stuff on most Youtube or television networks. A lot of it is opinion, not fact, and usually sensationalistic takes on recent events. The major newspapers, as biased as some people seem to think they are, have safeguards for fact-checking, liability, accuracy and in-house counsel. It is at a totally different level than podcasts and most television. They spend months working on some stories...have more strict editorial standards...etc. If you want to understand more specific regional issues, read the local papers (community papers) in those regions. Again, they have certain editorial standards, generally rely on advertising for much of their revenue so they aren't selling content like some media outlets, and usually are local residents writing exactly about what they know. And one of the best sources...boots on the ground, explore the city (cities), and ask local people about regional issues! Welcome to Vancouver...hope the weather is very nice, so you can really see our beautiful city in full spring bloom! Cheers!

I think it's only predatory if you are circling and hounding. I compare it more to a cigar butt as Buffett put it...someone left it on the ground and unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I have no qualms about picking it up for that last puff! Cheers!

You're posting podcasts done by an advertising company???? If this is your sense of research and analysis, I would suggest you find new sources! Cheers! https://www.nowmediagroup.ca/

Phhhhpppptttt! It's not a leftist rag. Can't people just read and absorb the information they need from any media source? I mean, I read everything...and sometimes I glean some insight from a story or article. Doesn't matter if it is partisan...left...right...dead center...another culture...another language...religious...atheist...capitalist...socialist...you can always learn something! In terms of psychology, understanding, advantage when investing...I read and listen to everything. I may not necessarily agree or like it...but I try and absorb. By people saying, I won't listen to them, or read that, etc...you are just exacerbating your own ignorance! It's why many democrats will repeat the same mistake as last time...it's why many republicans will do the same. It's why Trump will TACO over and over. Yes, stand for something, otherwise you stand for nothing...but it doesn't mean you cannot observe, reflect, absorb and ruminate! Cheers!

No...all the criminals have left. Cheers!

Wait a sec! Obama came from the south side of Chicago. Trump also went to Ivy League schools and he grew up with the privilege of wealth, power, money, race, everything! What about his pukes? How is Trump not an elitist and Obama is? Or Blake for that matter? Your labels don't mean anything when they aren't accurate! Trump is a convicted felon, compulsive liar, tax cheat, adulterer, blasphemer, and a gluttonous coveting narcissist. He covers the 7 deadly sins all by himself! Cheers!

If I were Trump, I would get rid of all of them except Rubio, Lutnick and Susie Wiles! He shouldn't just get rid of Stephen Miller, but probably do a Joe Pesci and his brother "Casino" type of beating and burial...since he is a vampire! I always thought there could be no worse and disgusting press secretary than Sarah Huckabee, but I was wrong...Karoline Levitt lies with the best of them! He should keep her as well. Cheers!

Actually none of them can hold a candle to hockey...let's get that straight! Men chasing a hardened, rubber bullet-like puck at over 30 km/hr on razor sharp skates, firing it at nearly 100 km/hr with sticks at each other, while colliding into boarded walls and open ice hits, then fighting to defend their team-mate, while playing with broken bones, ribs, missing teeth and some times even concussions! Yeah, football, rugby, no sport on earth holds a candle to that! Cheers!
