President Donald Trump left observers baffled this week when he suggested in a late-night Truth Social rant that his tariffs on Canadian goods would include taxes on illegal drugs.
In the Truth Social post, Trump said that one of his goals with the tariffs was to "penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, but Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy."
Fentanyl is an illegal drug, the government collects no taxes from its purchase or sale.

Primary school head cancels Easter in name of inclusivity.
A primary school has cancelled their Easter church service to avoid offending students of other faiths . All for diversity, equity and inclusion.
These woke school teachers get it all wrong in my opinion. If they want to encourage DEI amongst the students, the first thing to do is send an email or letter to all the parents stating, "our school will be celebrating the main holy days for all faiths represented by its students"

Musk bought everything he had,he invented...NOTHING!
He didn`t invent Tesla ,he bought it.
He didn`t invent SpaceX, he bought it.
He didn`t invent Starlink he bought it.
Obvs he didn`t invent X, he bought Twitter.
Looks like he bought Trump too.
I dunno why but I always thought he invented at least some of this?
And he was born into a wealthy family so he didn`t even have to be clever to do that. -
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,

RAF pilots ‘put at risk’ by White House’s secret group chat leak
Danielle SheridanDefence Editor
RAF pilots were put at risk when a White House group chat on Yemen was leaked, a former head of the Army has said.
Precise plans for air strikes on Houthi rebels were discussed by senior US officials in a secret chat that was accidentally shared with a reporter before the strikes.
Lord Dannatt, a former head of the Army, told The Telegraph that because the RAF provided routine support, the leak would “undoubtedly” have put British personnel at “higher risk”.
A British Voyager plane was used to refuel US jets that were defending the aircraft carrier that launched the strikes, in which more than 50 people died, on March 15. The plane flew from the RAF airbase in Akritori, Cyprus, to assist aircraft protecting the USS Truman in the Red Sea.
Lord Dannatt said: “As US officials gave away classified information about future operations in which the RAF were involved, this undoubtedly placed British personnel at higher risk.
“I hope the White House will tighten its security rapidly and considerably. We will continue to operate with the US, but need to be confident about their operational security.” Members of the group chat included JD Vance, the vice-president, Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, and Susie Wiles, Donald Trump’s chief of staff.

Revealed: Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to restore Putin’s gas empire
Donald Trump is holding a gun to the head of Volodymyr Zelensky, demanding huge reparations payments and laying claim to half of Ukraine’s oil, gas, and hydrocarbon resources as well as almost all its metals and much of its infrastructure.
The latest version of his “minerals deal”, obtained by The Telegraph, is unprecedented in the history of modern diplomacy and state relations.
“It is an expropriation document,” said Alan Riley, an expert on energy law at the Atlantic Council. “There are no guarantees, no defence clauses, the US puts up nothing.
“The Americans can walk away, the Ukrainians can’t. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
The text leaves little doubt that Mr Trump’s chief objective is to incorporate Ukraine as a province of America’s oil, gas and resource industries.

Was Heathrow shutdown caused by NetZero?
We all know the fire at the substation caused the total power cut at the airport and 5,000 homes, but why didn't Heathrow's backup power work?
The answer is they have recently scrapped perfectly good diesel generators, which would've kept the airport running. The have been replaced by bio mass generators to comply with Net zero. They didn't work. -
FACT ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPH!
This photo was taken nearly 15 kilometers above the Irish Sea in April 1985.
This is the supersonic commercial aircraft 'Concorde', flying at a speed of Mach 2, that is, twice the speed of sound or approximately 1,350 miles per hour.
A small fighter jet approached it in flight and accompanied it for four minutes at the same speed, and then the fighter pilot took the photograph, which is to date the only image of the 'Concorde' flying at such speed.
In the background the sun is shining, and at that height the sky already takes on a darker tone even in broad daylight, due to the decrease in air density.
The curvature of the Earth can even be seen at that height.
