This is a screenshot from the President’s Truth Social. Aside from how deranged it is, it also demonstrates to Iran that they are really getting to him. Much is made of his war-crimes threats, but impunity is the norm when U.S. presidents commit such crimes. He isn’t afraid of accountability.
Calgarians have been asked to conserve water as they work to repair the broken water main. This has been the 2nd water disaster in two years. It appears that not everyone is conserving water, with media reporting some people refusing. Overuse during this time puts lives at risk. Please conserve.
