Credit where credit is due! Those are impressive stats. The crackdown on fentanyl from the southern border reduced the amount of drugs available in Memphis among other U.S. southern cities. Less drugs, less crime! Now if they could only stop the 0.001% of total fentanyl coming from Canada, ALL crime in the U.S. would stop! Minnesota would not be the cesspool of criminal immigrants and lesbian teachers that it is. What a stain on America! Why can't people just marry three different women after cheating on each successive wife, pretend to be Jesus, and molest young women with the world's most notorious pedo...like everyone else! Geez! Cheers!

All the white people must have left! Cheers!

Southern border coming in through Texas and Florida! Cheers! Texas (A Primary Entry Point) Texas is a central corridor for fentanyl due to its long land border with Mexico and numerous Ports of Entry (POEs). Total Seizures: As of April 2026, authorities report that roughly 97% to 99% of all fentanyl seized in the U.S. comes across the Southern border. Specific Regions: Within Texas, the El Paso Field Office has seen significant spikes, with seizures rising over 900% in recent years. Method of Entry: Most fentanyl (approx. 82%) enters through official POEs hidden in passenger vehicles or commercial cargo, rather than between ports. Impact: Since early 2021, Texas state law enforcement alone has seized enough fentanyl to account for over 342 million lethal doses. National Immigration Forum +4 Florida (A Distribution Hub) Fentanyl "coming into" Florida typically arrives through domestic mail, interstate trafficking from the Southern border, or via international seaports and airports. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (.gov) +2 Entry Points: Unlike the land border in Texas, Florida's entry points are primarily maritime ports (e.g., Miami) and international airports. Volume Comparison: Direct border seizures in Florida are significantly lower than in Texas. However, the state remains a major target for law enforcement; for instance, a single 2025 operation in Suwannee County seized enough fentanyl to potentially kill the county's population 43 times over. Role in Trafficking: Florida often acts as a destination or transshipment point for drugs that have already crossed the U.S. border elsewhere.

LOL! So no REAL answer...other than bye-bye. Kash Patel is next...he's starting to lose it and looks like a sinking ship! Cheers!

LOL! That's about right. Cheers!

Services and PMI contracts significantly in France and Germany. Almost certainly two quarters well below 50 coming up...so the core of Europe is going into recession. Cheers!

Cubs, can you explain how if this war was such an overwhelming success, why are they firing top brass that helped win the war? https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/us-iran-deadlocked-over-hormuz-172226725.html Also, it seems we are at a stalemate where we are waiting for someone to blink? Might as well pop some popcorn and sit tight for a while watching the spectacle! Cheers!

You and your partner/spouse pick a name yet? Cheers!

Another Trump Atlantic City? https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-investor-files-fraud-lawsuit-085459902.html Cheers!

You're making GEORGE ANGRY! Cheers!

Congratulations! You're just barely older than one of my best friends when he had his first. He's 61 now and has 5 kids (two girls, three boys) all under 9! They were popping out of his wife every two years. Luckily she's about 20 years younger than him and loves children! Best piece of advice...I can only provide as an uncle with a niece and nephew, but I did raise my brother from 9 years old: Trust your instincts Listen Pay attention Don't over worry Close friends and family will criticize your parenting (deal with it) Take care of your wife because there will be times she might be overwhelmed or very, very tired! You will never be "the best" Dad...you will always be "his/her" Dad...no one else will ever, ever have that title! Ever! Everything else you will learn as you go along. And try and get some sleep when you get tired...because you definitely will get tired! Cheers!

I've decided to take the "fun" approach to dealing with these issues rather than react to Trump's craziness! I'm too busy buying and selling in my trading accounts to worry about all of this stuff. Every day, he throws one industry or another into a tizzy, and markets are discounting the risks in his TACOing and what they are paying for risk assets. I'm going to take advantage while this is happening, because at some point, things may explode or they may get fixed. It's a 50/50 crapshoot presently! But the volatility is plain silly! Cheers!

Greg, you have to admit...if Trump ran the George Costanza plan, things would be far better and he'd probably achieve his objectives! You have to admit, there's a lot of similarities! Cheers!

Hmmm...not the same as the $2,000 check he was talking about. That check was on top of any tax cuts. Frankly, it's good for taxpayers either way...just saying that politicians always make tons of promises that don't come to fruition, and Trump has made plenty of those. Cheers!

I sure hope this is fake news! Trump stopped from 'accessing nuclear codes' in furious row Cheers!

Surprisingly, he's actually even dumber than I thought! I was shocked. I said "No way, he could be dumber than I thought!" But he is...he's very dumb. But he does know what works for him: lie through your teeth fake it till you make it use other people's money and resources pay as little tax as possible...hell, pay as little as possible for anything gold is your friend insult - insult - praise - insult fire anyone if they make a mistake and don't take any blame if something is not working in your favor, it's a conspiracy everything bad is fake news distract, distract, distract pretend you are the best at everything Cheers!

Actually, it should be over. It isn't because Trump keeps TACOing! I know he doesn't want to, and the general population would vote against him, but he really needs to go in hard and end this. The mess has been made already. The only way to fix it is more hardball! You have to force the Iranians into negotiations or surrender. And he's put himself in limbo now...which isn't the best place to be! Cheers!

The U.S. only wants open access for their market...not free trade across the board. It's why every time Canadian lumber, steel, etc are available, the U.S. starts to subsidize their producers and defy any free trade agreement. They blame others and say they are dumping! And a deal will get done with the U.S. It may not happen with this administration, but it will get done with the next. Until then, a little hardball from both sides is good to motivate them all to get a deal done. But giving in and playing the patsy...I don't want to see Canada do that...sorry! Cheers!

+1! Nailed it on the head! Cheers!

Apparently he's not playing 2-D, 3-D or even 4-D chess...he's playing 5-D chess...Trump has mastered string theory! Cheers! https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow/videos/trumps-playing-5d-chess-so-were-just-making-up-dimensions-now/638295135700829/

Hi Santayana, I have it. It's good stuff. Similar to Empress, but not quite as clean. I'm partial to Empress and Hendricks. Those two are my go to bottles! Cheers!

Hey US Citizens, Long time, no happiness! Hope you are doing well refunding all of the tariffs. What is happening with the $2,000 check many of you were supposed to get from Trump? Is it still happening? Is the party still on? Hope things are good...and you're doing ok in the Middle East! Let me know...Canada! PS...Mexico, Greenland, UK and France are wondering how everything is going too...they said come see them in Ibiza...I will be there too! Cheers!

Yup, that may have helped. But as a Canadian public company, that is something you just don't want to go near...remember what Buffett says about notoriety...you just don't tread anywhere near that borderline, lest your family read about it in the paper the next day! Cheers!

Well, Trump always steals from everyone else, so why not the Romans and the French! And if the U.S. isn't Imperial, I'll be a monkey's uncle! I actually agree with the Congressional Fine Arts critic who said that the eagles and liberty angel could go...as well as the lions. It doesn't need those. Also, as long as it's not blocking the view to Arlington Cemetery like some critics are pointing out, I'm not against it. it is the U.S.' 250th Anniversary, which should be noted with some monument. It should definitely not be called "The Trump Arc" or the "The Triump Arc" as some are saying. His huge library building and the ballroom addition are enough gaudy baubles for this President! I think something as simple as "The Arc of America" is fine. Cheers!

Oh, I don't want them to get nukes. I don't even want them getting nuclear energy...just creates more uncertainty what they will do in the future again, unless there are fair, free elections. I'm just saying there was another way to do this rather than brute force with no ally consensus. Some will agree, some will disagree, but I think there was a better way of going about this...that's all...all avenues weren't exhausted. Cheers!
