LOVE OR HATE
When we see or hear the word ‘Breaking News,’ our ears become attentive to hear what it is. Our eyes also open a bit wider and focus on seeing what it is or who is being spoken of. As of lately there have been much breaking news that calls for attention.
For a beginner, Trump’s imposed tariffs has seen the stock market plummet.
The Wall Street Journal has called for Donald Trump to be sued to prevent tariffs being imposed on Canada and Mexico. The newspaper’s editorial board wrote in very blunt terms that Trump did not have the power to order the tariffs without Congressional approval. Yet he did.
Well, Canada will not sit down like Ukraine and accept such disrespect. It takes one to listen before responding, even if the other has the upper hand. Hooray to Mr. Ford for working alongside Trudeau’s encouragement for Canadians to stand and fight for the economy’s sovereignty. The way Democracy should work. “Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won’t back down. We’ll stand strong, use every tool in our toolkit, and do whatever it takes to protect Ontarians,” insisted Mr. Dogg Ford, whose 25% export on electricity tariffs went full speed ahead today, March 11, 2025.
The Chinese investor’s secret stakes in Elon Musk’s private companies raised concerns about Beijing’s influence in American politics. With Musk’s involvement, do Americans have cause for concern? You bet (we) all do. What is going on in the States will affect Canadians—we are business partners.
And on February 28, 2025. Musk urges retired air traffic controllers to resume work, citing a shortage of staff. Is he for real? When a person retires, it’s because the body has reached a physical level of strain. This requires a person to slow down or completely retire from the workforce in the future. Musk must have a strategic financial package in his thoughts when requesting a return.
Snoop Dogg Expands Marijuana Empire Again. Old but current news. According to the press members, the new line of Blunts delivers a slow and smooth burn. I can only imagine what went on backstage with the press members to express such words of invitation.
As Snoop confirmed, ‘“I’ve been rolling Blunts for decades, so I know what it takes to make them perfect.’” Snoop has remained a cultural icon in the cannabis community as the drug has grown more mainstream, and he’s referenced marijuana in songs and other performances for decades
It questions President Trump’s extended invitation to attend the inauguration ball. Then, he signed an executive order declaring English the official language of the United States, which has some critics scratching their heads as to why they cast a vote. This reverses a policy from the Clinton administration.
And that was not enough to stop there. The New York Times publishes the list of words deemed banned by the Trump administration agencies (https://lnkd.in/eOJqT2Wq)
What will remain in the United States regarding the capacity to think? Is there an underlining suggestion from Mr. Vance statement, “I want to have more babies in the White House?” I am telling you all that Mr. Trump and some members of his administration are on a slow, smooth burn that will drag the country into madness, which will only lead to more division within households and business relationships.
“The order, signed a few weeks ago, gives federal agencies and organizations receiving federal funds the autonomy to decide whether to continue offering services and documents in languages other than English.”
‘”While the White House argues that this move ‘”promotes unity, establishes efficiency in government operations, and creates a pathway for civic engagement,”‘ critics view it as a divisive tactic fueling fear and hindering access to essential services and democratic participation. ‘”Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society,'” the order said.'”
Who says Trump is not god-fearing? Apparently, he is undoing what God did in the beginning recorded at Genesis 11. In that city, God named Babel. There, God confused the language of all that scattered them from there over the entire face of the earth.
We just need to exercise patience. Rome was not built in a day. It is written that one needs to keep his enemy close to him. Musk, Perhaps? The man has some excellent ideas. Clearing the frauds that were going on will indeed save money. He promised to sack only those who were not doing their job, provide benefits to the unemployed, and deal with Medicare fairly. However, some will be hurt by the move. Canada ought to take a page from their policy.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote: Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn.

WORD MEANINGS
Psychosis is a collection of symptoms that causes a person to lose touch with reality. It is often a symptom of schizophrenia, but other conditions can trigger psychosis to occur.
Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that leads to changes in how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Anyone can develop psychosis at some point in their life. Causes include medications, mental health conditions, dementia, and drug or alcohol misuse.
WARNING SIGNS
Many psychosis events are triggered by fear or anxiety. If a person exhibits behavior such as hurried, slowed, or nonsensical speech, they may have attention, concentration, or memory issues. They might also frequently change topics. This mental state can be triggered by being abused or by tragic situations. Drugs or alcohol abuse, or physical injuries. The person needs to see a medical professional.
CHOICES
To each one his choice. Choose wisely. Remember, in all our ways, we should consider others. This world is meant for you and me. A thought comes to mind from my deceased sister’s note. She left it after working in her garden. She wrote, “Happiness of the heart depends on the quality of one’s thoughts.” I added to that. And the quality of what’s taught.
CONCLUSION
Mr. Trump’s stop-and-go attitude is likened to saying, “One moment you love me, then the next you hate me.” My thoughts are the same as Mr. Trudeau’s: Freedom is not a given. We must be courageous, make sacrifices, and work hard. This is the time when standing our ground calls for endurance, which will, in turn, have to see approved conditions of fairness across the borders. Whether, Mr. Ford will dance or stand firm is yet to see.
Peace!
