The Bond Market!

 This video is a very clear explanation of LOTS of problematic behaviors in US economic policy.

RantWoman would dearly love to follow the video to recommendations about which candidates running in November are most likely to be able to protect ordinary US workers from all of this. ALas, that direction is probably not to be had.

But RantWoman finds this video VERY clear and helpful.

Pete Hegseth picks on Canadian youth at SUMMER CAMP

Who says President #StableGenius gets to be the only US public figure antagonizing Canada, HOEPFULLY still one of the US closest allies and trading partners?

Look! Here comes Pete Hegseth, strong competitor if not champion "Worst #SecDef ever dissing girls and young women at summer camp!

So manly. Such strategery! Excellent way to win friends and influence people.

Oh Canada

Canada has
redesigned the US flag.
Enjoy

Canadian commentator Tod Maffin, many people's personal emotional support Canadian is in all the places. Well, he's in Elon's sandbox only by reference, but on Instagram, YouTube and...

RantWoman is learning A LOT about Canadian history and culture from his posts. RantWoman has lived in border states for over 2/3 of her life and even sometimes watched canadian Olympics coverage in preference to the local brands. Yet RantWomanis only now learning all of this. Let's hear it for overcoming ignorance

RantWoman is impressed by well-earned Canada pride and also by what he calls "relentless decency." He also is posting a HILARIOUS series of travel warnings about visiting different US states. Use yer search engines. RantWoman will post links if more show up in her feed.

 Another important theme: how to buy Canadian per Tod Maffin 

Tod Maffin helps recruit US health care workers. RantWoman will be sorry to see them go, but considering the RIDICULOUS health care policies being presided over by President #StableGenius, his HHS secretary #BrainWormBob, the DOGE toddlers, and the big bad bonkers budget busting billionaire bailout boondoggle, RantWoman can definitely understand a desire to leave.

Take Tod's advice: Practice Relentless Decency

All We Ask

Episode 10 of Canadian small businesses hit by US tariffs that YOU can support!

But one BIG caveat.

Tod has a whole video about people doing Google searches about "move to canada" after the 2024 election. RantWoman may even have flirted with the idea herself.

Tod's plea: TAKE THE TIME to learn about Canada, the words to "O Canada," even the French part.

RantWoman is pretty sure that O Canada is way more singable by mere mortals than the US national anthem. RantWoman though is terrified of sounding like a total dork trying to sing in French. So enough of that?

Seeing how atrociously President #StableGenius is treating "our closest ally," RantWoman has a different plea. DON'T GO. If all desperate USians do is flee northward, Canada is still going to be battered by trade wars, insults, and toddler tantrums. Tough it out in the US. Do SOMETHING to right the US ship. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE. Participate in civic dialogue. Make full and virbrant use of the First Amendment.

RantWoman would even say pray for President #Stablegenius and his legions--if RantWoman could figure out what to pray.
