War with Venezuela

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I'm treated like royalty in Quebec and even my French is appreciated because of my last name.  My family ancestors saved the Quebec colony in 1634 with The Percheron Immigration at the behest of Champlain himself.  (I'm not making this up.)  I traced my ancestors to mid-1400's France.  My grandfather and extended family immigrated to the USA in the 1930's after the family's trading post burnt down in Quebec near the border.  There was no home insurance back then.  The first words I usually hear when crossing into Quebec at the border or in the hotel are "Bienvenue chez vous, Monsieur...."

A family friend in Ontario just sent me a link on Canadian citizenship.  Apparently as of December 15, Canada changed citizenship requirements and if your grandparent was Canadian you qualify as a citizen if you can present the paperwork tracing lineage.

Italy messed me up in March 2025, when they changed the rules 2 weeks after I started the process.

Read and study your Bible, it helps tremendously.

One of Trump's genius (and I mean that seriously) abilities is to get people to hear what they want to hear. He will throw out 4 or 5 completely contradictory reasons for any given thing and his adherents choose the one they want to believe. He gets away with this like no one else can, thanks to the unending firehose of lies he tells--there just isn't the bandwidth in the universe to call him on all the lies.

But to the best of my knowledge, no one in this administration, or even his adjacent allies like Moses Mike Johnson, has proffered an excuse for attacking Venezuela so ridiculous as "it's what Jesus would have wanted."

So congratulations, I guess, for coming up with a rationale so mind-boggling insane that not even the Trump administration thought it would pass the laugh test.
