I may be 70, but I've been a tech geek since visiting Paul Allen at his Lake Washingrton cabin in the mid 1970s to see his new "memory capture device" - which was a large metallic drum that stored data. I want to highlight a new browser that really has me excited. It is called ARC. https://arc.net/gift/c1c3a617

This browser is NOT like others. There is a learning curve here. Spaces, bookmarking system, and blazing speeds. I find it renders graphics exceedingly well. My guess is a lot of gamers will be into this already. I just like the speed and efficiency. Pro Tip: use the "import from other Browser" tool. Boom. Up and running in seconds.

Opinion: Trump’s Canada Plan and the Overton Window Strategy Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from bold ideas, and whispers of a plan involving Canada have begun to circulate in political circles. While the notion of Canada joining the United States might sound like a geopolitical fever dream, it’s worth considering how Trump, a master of disruption, could approach such an audacious goal. One plausible strategy? The Overton Window—the concept that defines the range of ideas deemed acceptable in public discourse—and Trump’s knack for shifting it to suit his ends.

The Overton Window isn’t static; it moves with public perception. What’s unthinkable today can become policy tomorrow if the ground is prepared. Trump’s political career thrives on this principle—think of his border wall or trade wars, once dismissed as outlandish, now normalized in Republican rhetoric. Applying this to Canada, Trump could be laying the groundwork to make annexation (or some form of deep integration) not just palatable, but desirable—to Americans, Canadians, or both.

Start with economics. Trump could frame Canada’s inclusion as a natural extension of his “America First” agenda. The U.S. and Canada already share the world’s longest undefended border and a trade relationship worth over $600 billion annually. Why not streamline it? He might pitch a unified North American economic bloc to counter China’s dominance, dangling promises of jobs, energy security (hello, Alberta oil), and a beefed-up military footprint. It’s not annexation—it’s “partnership,” he’d say, with a wink. By normalizing this narrative, he’d nudge the window open just a crack.

Then comes culture. Trump’s a showman—he knows optics matter. Expect him to lean on shared history (forgetting 1812, of course) and play up a “North American identity.” He could host Canadian leaders at Mar-a-Lago, crack jokes about hockey and maple syrup on Truth Social, and push a media blitz framing Canada as America’s wayward cousin, ready to come home. The more he talks it up, the less absurd it sounds. Critics would scoff, but that’s the point—outrage keeps it in the news, inching the idea into the realm of “maybe.”

Policy-wise, he wouldn’t go for a full-court press—not at first. Trump could float trial balloons: a joint customs union, a shared currency (goodbye, loonie), or even a “security merger” to “protect” against Arctic threats (looking at you, Russia). Each step would be small, digestible, and framed as common sense. Canadians, wary of losing sovereignty, might resist—but if economic carrots (or sticks, like tariffs) were dangled, public opinion could shift. The Overton Window thrives on gradualism; Trump’s not above playing the long game when it suits him.

Of course, this assumes Trump has a plan—and that’s a big “if.” He’s just as likely to toss out “Canada should be the 51st state” as a late-night musing, then watch the chaos unfold. But that’s the beauty of his Overton approach: even chaos moves the window. If he normalizes the conversation, others—think tanks, MAGA lawmakers, even Canadian populists—might pick up the thread. Precedent exists: Alaska and Hawaii weren’t always states, and Texas joined by choice. Why not Canada? The counterargument? Canada’s national identity is fierce, its politics lean left, and its people aren’t keen on trading Ottawa for Washington. Trump’s bombast could backfire, galvanizing Canadian resistance. Yet that’s never stopped him before—he thrives on defiance. And with a polarized world, economic uncertainty, and a U.S. eager for wins, the idea might not stay fringe forever.

Trump using the Overton Window isn’t about forcing Canada in; it’s about making the unthinkable thinkable. Step by step, quip by quip, he could shift the frame until “North America United” isn’t a punchline—it’s a platform. Whether it works is another story. But if anyone can sell a wild idea, it’s the man who turned “Build the Wall” into a movement. Canada, take note: the window’s creaking open.

Maybe the Trump Effect? Yesterday I got an email from google telling me that one of my suspended YouTube channels had been restored! I never asked for the review. Google suspended 5 of my YT channels back in 2021. I had not violated their guidelines. I only maintained the position that Ivermectin and other drugs were effective for the disease! I checked all of my suspended channels. Three were restored and two were not. I asked for a review on those two and within minutes they were restored. Something has changed!!!

When you wake up tomorrow, it may be a whole new world. Here is what COULD happen:

Biden will be dead by morning. Harris by virtue of the fact that her parents were foreign students from Jamaica and India at the time of her birth will be disqualified as a presidential candidate.

Speaker, Mike Johnson, will become Interim President. Under law, he can invoke article 25 and place anyone he chooses as president. That includes his drunk neighbor if he wants.

Mike Johnson will place Donald J. Trump as president. Trump will then invoke Executive Order 13848 and begin taking down the deep state, including seizing assets from Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street.

The gaffs today by Secret Service director Kim Cheatle revealed that there was more than one shooter. That second shooter is identified as Maxwell Yearnick. He is an Antifa associate who did a year in prison after the Portland riots. He is an avid Trump hater. She also alluded to having to be concerned about “Continuity of Government.” You are only concerned about that in the event of Executive order 13848!

Yearnick will be tied financially to Antifa - which in turn now implicates Soros. The entire Soros family and organization will be arrested and sent to GITMO.

AOC today announced that there is a “civil war” inside the DNC. She said that they are going to remove the entire “Ticket!” Meaning Biden and Harris. AOC is in fear for her life now, and my turn states evidence.

There will be no presidential pardons for Hunter Biden or any of the criminals in the Biden family.

High ranking criminals in the Democrat party and some in the Republican Party will be arrested and sent to GITMO.

Trump will meet with Putin within ten days and end the war in Ukraine.

Zelensky will flee the country and go into hiding. All of his mansions in the USA will be seized.

Trust the Plan!

Breaking: Xi JinPing has been taken into custody in China by the military. The coup happed just hours ago. China's population has fallen to 800 Million. China will return to democracy and become like another "Japan." This is going to be HUGE.
