Happy wet, rainy, soggy, dripply Saturday morning from Mud Puddle Central to you all! Well, ain't that tellin' the truth? We have the limp dick jetstream all across Canada, snow in the north and rain in the south, no worries about forest fires, they say. Doesn't that make you feel like throwing a brick at the radio or something?

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

~ FOLLOW THE CRACKS ~

Is the species of homo sapiens suffering from senility, dying of old age on the evolutionary scale already? That shouldn't be for several billion years yet, before the final step in the evolutionary process, if you can put a time scale on the infinities.

OVERPOPULATION could and may quite well be one of the major factors in the problems we face today. I will not address it in this discussion.

If that's so, then I'm the last of the Mohicans that's still got an operational noggin, and everyone else is jumping off the precipice like lemmings! "Oh me, Oh my! Wasn't that a party!" ♪♫♭｡♪˚♬𝄞 Here I sit on my butt on a tuffet, having a puffit while dusting off my dunce hat as I watch the Day of the Lemmings Show🤡 𓉴

Really, though, it's like I'm watching a very large automaton falling apart in little pieces. It is tearing itself apart piece by piece. Man has reached the brink in technology and science to the point where he or she has already taken a peek under G-d's kimono.

Attaining this marvelous technological and scientific level, we should be sufficiently advanced to comprehend what is happening and stop it. We are allowing mentally ill people to feel joy in destroying the good, and sane people CRINGE at the actions of the insane, but do nothing to end it.

Maybe we are at the doorstep to Armageddon. If so, then go ahead, by all means, step into the theater of horrors. I just happened to fall into the right cracks at the right time, and I see what's really in those cracks. I have some difficulty remembering the small stuff in the temporal world we share, e.g., taking my pills on time, when there is so much more to think about. But I have an excellent memory for the things I discover in the cracks outside our usual endeavors, where most others don't even see the cracks, let alone the contents within them.

Maybe it's like Brian Cox said on TV last night, "Don't worry too much if you don't understand me, I'm sometimes not sure if I understand what I am saying myself."

The law sets a 60-day limit on unauthorized wars. Will Trump respect it?

A post-Vietnam law puts a 60-day clock on the use of military force without congressional authorization.

The war in Iran – for which the Trump administration sought no approval – hits that 60-day mark May 1, according to the text of the law, the War Powers Resolution, but it’s not at all clear what will happen next.

• The law lays out a timeline for undeclared wars:

First, 48 hours. The president must notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing the armed forces “into hostilities” and explain the scope, justification and likely duration of the effort...

• The precise deadline is a matter of debate:
• The law has never been used to end a military action:
• Reagan compromised to keep US troops in Lebanon:
• Obama redefined ‘hostilities’:
• Clinton said the check cleared:

‘Nothing feels normal anymore’: How everyday Iranians are coping with war

When bombs started falling on Tehran in February, we heard much about the political ramifications, including the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader.

But what about the ordinary people who call the capital home? Maryam Rahmanian, an Iranian-American photojournalist living in Tehran, wants to tell their stories. She took portraits of civilians who decided to stay in the city, asking them what the war meant to them and how it has affected their lives.

“Some people had to keep working. Some stayed home and endured the hours in uncertainty. Some were focused on protecting loved ones. Others tried to hold on to a sense of normal life as that life became increasingly fragile,” said Rahmanian, who works in Tehran with the permission of the government. “These stories do not offer a complete account of the war...

Trump is using the Iran war to take more control over business

The president has already turned the federal government into a major shareholder

President Donald Trump considers China the country’s biggest rival. But he also seems to view it as a model where the state calls the shots on who gets ahead in business. Since returning to office, Trump has taken a more direct stake in American businesses than his predecessors — especially the Republican ones — turning the federal goverrnment into a major shareholder.

While it’s still nowhere near China’s state-directed market economy, it’s still closer to it than the U.S. has typically been. America’s investment portfolio currently spans 16 companies with $21 billion invested so far, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The roster includes smaller stakes in Intel Corp. — the single-largest federal commitment— and rare-earth mineral companies such as MP Materials among others.

Now he’s poised to use the Iran war to exert more power in the economy. The Trump administration is galloping ahead with a pair of bailouts for Spirit Airlines and the United Arab Emirates...

• With Trump knocking down wall after wall separating business and government, that critique appears prescient.

Court defers deportation of truck driver who caused fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu's application accepted by Federal Court judge at hearing on Friday

Days from being deported, an 11th-hour decision by a Federal Court justice on Friday means that Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who was found responsible for the fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018, can stay in Canada for a little while longer.

Sidhu was behind the wheel of the semi-truck that blew through an oversized stop sign with a flashing yellow light, right into the path of the Saskatchewan junior hockey team’s bus, on April 6, 2018. The collision killed 16 players and staff and injured 13 others. He was scheduled to be deported and board a plane for India early Monday morning...

Lockheed Martin and MAS formalized partnership to build F-35 depot

- April 23, 2026 -

The twenty-third day of the fourth month of 2026

Like the medical Care, WATCH THE MONEY! Too many tiefs and pirates hereabouts, especially in Ontario.

Lockheed Martin and L3Harris MAS formalized a strategic partnership on April 21, 2026, to establish an F-35 Air Vehicle Depot in Mirabel, Quebec. This agreement creates a framework for collaboration and information sharing to support the long-term sustainment of Canada's future fleet of F-35 fighter jets.

F35.com

Key Partnership Details

• Signatories: The agreement was signed by MAS General Manager Ugo Paniconi and Lockheed Martin F-35 Customer Programs Vice President Marshall Shepard.

• Infrastructure: The depot will be located at the existing L3Harris facilities in Mirabel, which currently maintain Canada's CF-18 fleet.

Investment: L3Harris estimates that retooling the infrastructure to handle advanced F-35 maintenance will cost at least $200 million, primarily for enhanced security measures.

Regional Hub Ambitions: While the primary focus is on Canada's planned fleet, MAS aims to transform the facility into a regional hub that could eventually service U.S. and other international F-35 aircraft.

F35.com

Economic and Strategic Impact

Sovereign Capability: The partnership enables Canada to independently operate and maintain its F-35 fleet, reducing reliance on overseas logistics.

• Job Creation: The project is expected to support approximately 1,500 direct and 3,500 indirect jobs, contributing to the aerospace ecosystem in Quebec.

• Supply Chain: The depot will anchor a framework of roughly 30 Canadian suppliers, potentially contributing $3.2 million per jet across the global F-35 fleet.

This formalization follows Canada's earlier identification of L3Harris MAS as a "Strategic Partner" in late 2024 to investigate depot requirements.

Jeanine Pirro drops criminal probe of Jerome Powell

Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, said Friday she is closing the criminal probe of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

That would clear the way for Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s pick to succeed Powell, to get confirmed for the role. Powell’s term helming the central bank is set to expire on May 15, and Warsh appeared before the Senate Banking Committee for a confirmation hearing earlier this week. However, one key senator on the committee vowed to block the vote unless the DOJ dropped the investigation into Powell.

The Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into the Fed chair in January after Trump spent months railing against Powell for not lowering interest rates faster. Trump’s complaints included accusations of impropriety and incompetence in cost overruns at the central bank’s ongoing multibillion-dollar renovation project at its Washington, DC, headquarters...

Americans are asking if the president is OK

His always-erratic behavior is raising new questions amid the Iran war.

Is the president OK?

I asked that question on TV this week. Not as a throwaway line or a partisan jab, but as a serious question about the capacity of the person holding the most powerful office in the world.

Since Donald Trump announced his first campaign for the White House in 2015, critics have wondered about his frequent digressions, anecdotes that never happened and seemingly dwindling vocabulary.

But in his second term, especially over the past few weeks, Trump has seemed more erratic than ever, making bizarre claims and accusations about the Iran war on social media and ratcheting up his already inflammatory rhetoric.

Americans are noticing.

Senate takes key step toward funding ICE and border patrol with only GOP votes

With Congress at a stalemate over how to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, Senate Republicans took a key step to tee up a party-line measure that would fund only the most controversial immigration programs — to eventually reopen the government completely.

The GOP effort to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol without any Democratic support moved ahead after a marathon overnight session known as a “vote-a-rama” that stretched into the early hours of Thursday morning. The chamber adopted the Senate GOP budget blueprint by a vote of 50-48, with all Democrats present opposed. Two Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky, broke ranks with their party, voting against the immigration funding.

The effort comes weeks after the Senate unanimously approved a package to fund the rest of DHS, including the Transportation Security Administration. Why the Trump team’s arcane economic theory won’t play at the gas pumps...

How Trump set the stage for a long, drawn-out negotiation with Iran

The U.S. and Israel killed off the people who would’ve made this process work more effectively.

Peace talks between Iran and the U.S. are proceeding neither quickly nor smoothly this week, in part because Iran’s government “has not yet decided” if it will participate in a second round of peace negotiations on how to end the war. One factor that explains the sluggishness is that Iran’s government is reportedly unable to settle on a clear counteroffer to the U.S.’ latest position on ending the war.

That may sound like a problem of Iranian dysfunction, but it’s also one for which President Donald Trump bears enormous responsibility — since he has killed so many of Iran’s leaders. Trump has sown the seeds for a drawn-out conclusion to a war he desperately wants to end.

GERD

🔹AI Overview

GERD -Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease - Mat-Su Surgical ...Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing persistent heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. It is caused by a weakened lower esophageal sphincter, often linked to obesity, pregnancy, or hiatal hernia. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, antacids, or PPIs, and prevention includes avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating the head of the bed.

Ontario Investing an Additional $30 Million to Expand Primary Care Workforce

Investment will add nearly 1,800 health-care workers to primary care teams as part of Ontario’s $2.1 billion Primary Care Action Plan

Quick Facts:

• The primary care upskilling program for registered nurses is a 12-week program that provides additional education and training to support working in primary care settings. Upon completion, registered nurses will receive a certificate from the program.

• Since the launch of the government’s $2.1 billion Primary Care Action Plan, Ontario has already attached over 275,000 new patients to a primary care provider, putting the province on track to meet or exceed its target of connecting 300,000 new people to care in 2025-26 and every Ontarian to a primary care provider by 2029.

• The government is investing in the largest medical school education expansion in more than a decade by adding 340 undergraduate seats and 551 postgraduate positions by 2028-29, representing a 67 per cent increase in family medicine graduates.

• Nurse practitioners have an expanded scope of practice and can diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications and perform specific procedures, making them essential in primary care environments.

Since 2018, Ontario has added over 100,000 new nurses and nearly 20,000 additional physicians to its health-care workforce, including an over 14 per cent increase in family doctors.

• Ontario is taking significant steps to strengthen its health-care workforce by making it easier for U.S.-licensed nurses and board-certified physicians to move to and practise in Ontario. In 2025, over 1,700 nurses and more than 450 doctors from the US have already chosen Ontario.

• In August 2025, the Ontario government invested $56.8 million to train 2,200 more nurses for communities across the province.

At least I am appreciative of what we have, which is better than the last couple of days. But I still feel a bit of the doldrums; it's mild.

Aggressive / Depressive.

Aggressive Versus Depressive The doldrums may have been brought on by having more attacks of GERD symptoms, periods of time when I feel like I am experiencing a violent hangover, more frequent in the last few days. Depression, that I am aware of them. What's unusual is that I don't usually feel depressed until the fall. Not in the springtime! That's what's odd. Then there's the wounded or ailing animal's reaction to an intruder. 'Pain-Induced Aggression': in my case, replace the word aggressive " with " depressive.

When I am in extreme discomfort, I pray for the healing of others who suffer such pain. At least that way, I feel like I suffered for something, for a worthwhile reason.

Question: Word for wounded or ailing animal's reaction to an intruder

🔹AI Overview

The most accurate term for a wounded or ailing animal's intense, often desperate reaction to an intruder is pain-induced aggression. Because injured animals are often unable to flee, they switch from a flight response to a fight response, becoming far more aggressive than usual to defend themselves, a reaction sometimes called defensive aggression or being cornered.

The nine justices are increasingly building their own personal brands outside the court

The Supreme Court has long presented itself as a uniform group of justices, all sheathed in long black robes. Its rulings are the product of a collective majority. And when justices refer to a precedent, they speak reverently of “The Court.”

But “The Nine” more often resemble solo operators these days. Seven have written or are about to publish books telling of their own lives or approach to the law. Several have been on the stump in recent weeks, touting their individual message and views, sometimes seeing it backfire.

This is not business as usual. There was a time when the late Justice Antonin Scalia (who served from 1986 to 2016), stood out for his confrontational speeches and prolific extracurricular writings. As he barnstormed campuses, building support for his originalist approach, he created an identity for himself beyond the bench...

Epstein’s victims say other men abused them. Files shed little light on how investigators followed up

A 15-year-old victim of Jeffrey Epstein was summoned one day to his Palm Beach mansion, she said, introduced to one of his “special” friends and instructed to get naked and give the mysterious bald man a massage.

“Make sure our friend has a really good time,” Epstein’s criminal accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly told her. The man then raped her, said the victim, who never learned his name. Afterward, she received about $1,000 in cash and Maxwell suggested she’d be introduced to other Epstein associates in the future.

Her disturbing account is one of more than a dozen potentially credible FBI interviews CNN reviewed in the Department of Justice’s Epstein files release in which victims told authorities the financier or Maxwell facilitated sexual encounters with his rich and powerful friends. They named more than a half dozen other men, including Wall Street executives, a former senator, a wealthy psychiatrist and a film producer...

The most troubling question from Kevin Warsh’s confirmation hearing

If he can’t answer a basic factual question about President Donald Trump, then his commitment to keeping the Federal Reserve independent continues to seem tenuous.

There was one question hanging over the room during Tuesday’s meeting of the Senate Banking Committee. According to the hearing schedule, the gathered senators were there to adjudicate Kevin Warsh’s nomination to become the next chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Matters of monetary policy were discussed, but the focus would inevitably return to whether Warsh, if confirmed, would stand up to President Donald Trump and ensure the independence of the Fed from political pressure.

• Though it may seem counterintuitive, Warsh’s desire to be entirely nonpolitical potentially undermines the independence the Fed requires.
