  1. #Trump Isn’t Just Trolling #Canada. He’s Helping Push It Apart.

    By Curtis Gillespie, Sept. 3, 2026

    Excerpt: "The political pancake breakfast is one of the longstanding traditions of the Calgary Stampede, Alberta’s annual rodeo and fair. Members of the province’s governing #UnitedConservativeParty hosted one on July 2, the day after Canada Day. The far-right premier of the province, Danielle Smith, kitted out in Lone Star cowboy boots, a Stetson hat and a Texas Longhorn bolo tie, popped in. It was hard not to read the outfit as a conscious nod to Canada’s erstwhile friends south of the border, because President #Trump, #MAGA and the United States are unmistakable strands of the conversation in Alberta these days.

    "After flipping some flapjacks, the premier addressed the crowd, making sure to toss a pancake to her base by saying that immigrants — or 'newcomers,' as she put it — had caused government spending to skyrocket. She reminded people that the Stampede is an expression of bedrock Albertan values: grit, determination and getting back in the saddle. The implied contrast was with the hopeless mandarins in Ottawa who can’t be expected to know anything about such matters.

    "It would have been a typical Stampede breakfast were it not for the sightings of a formerly reclusive political creature: the baldfaced #AlbertaSeparatist, a breed apart from the more common species, the alienated Westerner. They came in groups like #Albertans4Freedom and #UnitedAlbertaFlags, which advocate Alberta seceding from Canada to become an independent #JudeoChristianNation.

    "They encouraged #Albertans to vote yes on Oct. 19 to a referendum question asking whether Alberta should start down the road to separation, an impulse that the Trump-friendly Ms. Smith — without explicitly endorsing separation — has given new life to by pushing for the referendum question to be on the ballot."

  2. RE: social.mitexleo.one/@ml/116180

    “Schlapp is repeating an unfortunately common trope in the U.S., particularly among conservatives: Muslim and Arab lives are cheap, especially when we are at war with them. To these bigots, Muslim societies are backward and if the U.S. government inflicts something bad on them, it’s their society’s fault.”

    Spoken like a true abuser in a cult of abusers.

    To them, girls are not people but property.

  3. Yup. It's the same #StrategyGroup! Wow!

    Gov. #KristiNoem and the culture of #collusion in #SouthDakota

    #FreedomWorksHere escaped legislative oversight but the saga raises larger concerns about the validity of competitive bidding and the stomach of state lawmakers.

    Excerpt: "The seeds of the contract are found in the hiring of The Strategy Group as a media consultant for #Noem’s re-election campaign in 2022.

    "The CEO of that company is #BenYoho, but he’s not the biggest fish in Ohio.
    That’s #RexElsass, the founder and chairman of the board, an infamous figure in Ohio politics. We don’t have the time or space to go into Mr. Elsass’ backstory but it’s colorful, controversial and worth more than we’ll give it here.
    The Strategy Group is one of a handful of firms doing media work for the big names of #Republican politics, including #Trump, #Pence, several governors and many members of Congress."

  4. Yup. This is the same company that #KristiNoem is connected with... #StrategyGroup!

    From 2013: Inside The Meltdown At America’s Most #Conservative, Most Christian Political Consulting Firm

    #RexElsass built a Republican empire on his faith. But he found himself battling his closest allies over his immortal soul.

    " 'It's a cult,' said one Republican operative who was once courted by Elsass and now sees himself as a competitor. 'You take young people who get enamored by driving around in a Bentley, or getting to fly around in a private plane, and stay in sick rooms, and see massive dollars spent on them, but not given to them — and there's a huge difference there — and you're the master in controlling that dynamic. You control the experience and then you get them hooked in, then you get them to do all sorts of things. They start to lose their soul.' "

    "There are at least 40 #Republicans currently in Congress who have worked with the #StrategyGroup, which serves as a campaign and strategy clearing house for the uncompromisingly conservative wing of the congressional caucus that has been at the center of American politics since 2010.

    "Though the Strategy Group's ranks have swelled over the past year — as the company expands beyond its advertising roots and into public relations, voter contact, and research — it continues to be defined by its larger-than-life founder. Elsass is a round, loud, cigar-smoking good 'ol boy with a private jet; a worldview rooted, he'll be quick to tell you, in his Christian faith; and a shameless killer instinct that has turned his company into one of the country's most in-demand political consulting firms. The firm had the rare distinction of working, serially, for two presidential candidates last year — Michele Bachmann then #NewtGingrich. Other clients include the great Right hopes of 2016: Senators Rand Paul and #TedCruz. One of the driving forces behind the conservative surge of 2010, when they had more than two dozen #TeaParty clients, the Strategy Group stands poised to ride a similar wave in the upcoming elections."

  5. I'm stunned, absolutely gobsmacked when finding myself talking to people, in this case #BIPoC who reject "white" Christian Nationalism, but see nothing wrong with Christian Nationalism, turning the US into a theocracy, which despite all evidence to the contrary, a massive number chose to believe the nation was founded as.

    So then, surprising absolutely nobody, these pious maniacs are busily trying to tax-fund the "grooming" of children into a new generation of #Christofascists.

  6. Who is Rep. Mike Johnson? Now That He's Elected Speaker, That's BAD NEWS
    Rep. Mike Johnson of the 4th district of Louisiana isn’t a household name, and even I had to look up his history and his record on the issues. Let’s just say succinctly that he is Jim Jordan all over again, but without the baggage. *IF* (and that is a big IF) he is elected Speaker, the nation will be in for a world of hurt.

  7. On one side, #MegaCorps and #GreedyMonopolies are bleeding #ContentCreators dry. On the other #transphobic #ChristoFascists try to make my existence illegal or at best downright impossible. Add in all the #transphobic comments we’re getting an increasing amount of at @show, #ElonMusk fans picking at everything we do, the rising costs of doing business, and reduced #AdRevenue, and I’m not sure why I do what I do.

    Seriously.

    I want to go do #VoiceOver work. Maybe I should record a #DemoReel. I’ve had four VO actors tell me I have what it takes do to that. It’d be as hard but I wouldn’t have to deal with the shit.

    I also don’t have an IN to the industry.

    Forgive me, but I’m all spent.
