May Great Spirit bless 🙏

Again, I pray that it is a good morning for you all. Sitting at the keyboard, I am a little ahead of schedule for a change, and I seem to be mostly pain-free, or at least in no great discomfort. And my dentures are resting in their glass where they belong. I hate those things. On May 13th, I'll be getting a denture secured by implants instead of cement.

OK, it's CINDY'S COMIC BOOK TIME in the Newsroom!

On the 13th of the month, I'll be a' gittin' those new-fangled teeth that connect to implants in the jawbone. The kind you need a socket wrench 🔧 or something to remove them. Now I'll be part Borg 🤖 "A Martian Earth Borg? YIKES! or "Ugh, White Man"! I wonder if Martian Earth Borgs can beat up the Orange Kink Jabba the Hutt in his Mar-a-Loser mother ship from planet Platitude 😁😆🤣😂

Thank you, Creator; my mind is as clear as a bell. Ready for take off, Houston! 10 - 9 -8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 "BLAST OFF!" 💥🚀💨

Like getting shot out at Mach 5 from a hammock tied between two stout oak trees, with a jet backpack, you could reach the Moon's orbit. Now you can do it without a space suit! That would fix the problem and save money. But then, you never know, Jabba is so vacuous between the ears he may not need oxygen. Like a tardigrade, except the tardigrades are smarter 🤣

RED ALERT 🔴 📢၊၊||၊၊|

I don't really know why those with arrest powers and loyalty to the Constitution haven't put the Orange Jabba the Hutt in jail. They fear retribution, but is that worse than the chaos that is called government? There is no Constitutional law or any real law in charge. All the law there is, is just a 💩 show. Under whose law? Just walk in there and cuff him, under the Constitutional Law of the land •<- BIG (‿ˠ‿) PERIOD THAT'S IT! Otherwise, the whole 💩💥💩 show's a goin ta blow 💨 man!

BREAKING NEWS:

‘Super Revolutionaries’: The radical Iranian hardliners bent on sabotaging a deal with the US

As negotiations between the United States and Iran enter a critical stage, a small but influential hardline faction has intensified efforts to sabotage a potential deal with Washington, fuelling President Donald Trump’s claims of divisions within the Islamic Republic.

The group shares Trump’s view that the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers was a mistake – but for different reasons. Its positions are so hostile to the West, even by the standards of Iran’s conservative hardliners, that the regime’s efforts to appease it have so far failed.

And as the Islamic Republic’s new leaders project unity in the face of the gravest existential threat the regime has faced, the ultra-hardline group has ramped up efforts across the media, in parliament and on the streets to advocate against an agreement with the US, arguing that only by defeating Washington can Iran secure a favorable deal...

A new power center:
Increasingly isolated:

US fighter jet’s attack on Iranian tankers explained

GIF IMAGE | of flagged tanker Included:*

A US fighter jet disabled two Iran-flagged tankers on Friday by firing precision munitions into their funnels, the US military said, demonstrating the precision of the weapons in use.

US Central Command, which oversees Middle East military operations, released a video it says shows the tankers – the Sea Star III and the Sevda – being hit by a US Navy F/A-18. It said the vessels were violating the US blockage of Iranian ports.

The video shows slight puffs of smoke from the Sea Star’s smokestack, and then darker smoke rising from it after the strike. In the Sevda clip, a burst of flame is followed immediately by plumes of heavy black smoke...

The tankers were unladen and heading to an Iranian port in the Gulf of Oman trying to evade a US blockade, CENTCOM said.

Trump’s tariffs keep losing battles in court — but he may still win the war

The U.S. Court of International Trade is the latest court to toss Trump’s tariffs. But the administration will keep going to this well, no matter how unpopular it is.

The U.S. Supreme Court in February struck down the Trump administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs as illegal and unconstitutional. Soon thereafter, the administration invoked a different provision of federal law to impose new tariffs. Now, the U.S. Court of International Trade, which has jurisdiction over these issues, has ruled that the administration’s second effort to impose tariffs under this different legal provision is also flawed.

But before American small businesses and consumers can breathe a sigh of relief, the administration is likely to appeal. And instead of using the Supreme Court’s decision as cover for a retreat from tariffs, the administration seems committed to pursuing unpopular policies that are bad for an economy which is also seeing consumer prices spike because of events in the Middle East.

Even if this effort to impose ill-advised tariffs on American businesses and consumers should ultimately fail once again in the courts, the administration is determined to press on:
At some point, the administration will likely succeed in imposing new tariffs in a way that is consistent with the laws that might authorize them:

Has Toronto's condo market hit its bottom?

Condo prices have dropped by about 25% since 2022 peak, real estate board says

After a year of sluggish sales and cancelled projects, the condo market in Canada’s largest city is showing signs of recovery.

Drawn by lower prices, Tyler Florian was able to buy his first property back in February. He purchased a two-bedroom condo in Fort York, a high-density neighbourhood in downtown Toronto.

"My real estate agent was saying it was almost like 2017 prices," he said.
