Donald J. Trump

The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it.
Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???
Despite having little experience in commanding large, conventional
military forces, Washington’s strong leadership presence and fortitude
held the American military together long enough to secure victory at
Yorktown and independence for his new nation.
Unlike the successful Siege of Boston, the efforts to defend the city of
New York ended in near disaster for the Continental Army and the cause
of independence. In what proved to be the largest battle of the
Revolutionary War in terms of total combatants, Washington’s forces on
August 22, 1776, were flanked out of their positions atop the Gowanus
Heights (part of today’s modern Brooklyn) and soundly defeated by
William Howe's roughly 20,000 man force on Long Island.
It was during these dark days at the close of 1776 that Thomas Paine’s
words from the recently published American Crisis rang most true:
“These are the times that try men’s souls…the summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their
country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man
and woman.”
Canada’s history is a story of deep time and short seasons, of peoples who learned to live with a vast and varied land and, over centuries, created a political culture that seeks accommodation across difference. From Indigenous civilizations and fur-trade empires to confederation, continental war and peacekeeping, residential schools and reconciliation, resource booms and climate realities, the Canadian past has been shaped by encounters—sometimes cooperative, often coercive—between nations, empires, and communities.
These societies developed rich political institutions—Haudenosaunee confederacies with codified laws; potlatch economies on the coast that redistributed wealth; vast trade networks carrying copper, obsidian, tobacco, and stories across the continent. Land was not empty; it was relational, governed by responsibilities among people, animals, and places. That sense of relationship, expressed in treaties and protocols, would later collide with European conceptions of sovereignty and property.
The colony’s lifeblood was the fur trade, which required Indigenous sovereignty and participation. Wendat (Huron) confederates, Algonquins, and Innu forged alliances with the French; Jesuit missionaries followed, recording ethnographies that are invaluable—and deeply partial—windows into seventeenth-century life. Epidemics and conflict devastated some Indigenous nations, while new blocs formed and reformed in response to trade and firearms. The Haudenosaunee, supplied by Dutch and then British traders at Albany, pressed west and north during the Beaver Wars, reshaping the interior.
By the late 1600s, New France stretched thinly along rivers from the Gulf of St. Lawrence through the Great Lakes to the Mississippi. A seigneurial system parcelled riverfront farms; habitants grew wheat and raised families; coureurs de bois carried packs across portages; and forts like Frontenac, Detroit, and Louisbourg linked imperial ambitions to local rivalries. New France was never populous—tens of thousands, not millions—but it cast a long commercial shadow.
III. British North America and Imperial Rivalry (1713–1815)
Britain faced another challenge almost immediately: the American Revolution (1775–1783). Quebecois largely stayed neutral or loyal; the Continental Army briefly invaded but found little support. The war’s end reconfigured the map: the United States emerged to the south, and tens of thousands of Loyalists—English, Scottish, Irish, German, Black Loyalists (some emancipated for service), and Haudenosaunee allies—migrated to Nova Scotia and the St. Lawrence–Great Lakes region. To accommodate them, Britain created New Brunswick (1784) and split the Province of Quebec into Upper and Lower Canada with the Constitutional Act of 1791, establishing elected assemblies alongside appointed councils.
In the wake of alliance with the British, the Haudenosaunee under Joseph Brant settled along the Grand River; Black communities founded settlements like Birchtown and later Africville. The War of 1812 against the United States, fought across the Detroit frontier, Niagara, and the Atlantic, reinforced British-Canadian identity and Indigenous military power—Tecumseh and the Western Confederacy were decisive—yet the postwar treaties pushed many Indigenous nations westward or constrained them within shrinking reserves.
Tesla Full Self-Driving v14 -- The Next Leap Forward
Tesla FSD Update v14.3 - First Drive and Initial Impressions
I use Tesla FSD everyday, and it is excellent. Tesla is far ahead of other companies that hope to build self-driving cars. We are at the point where Tesla's technology is ahead of the approval process of USA States evaluating this amazing technology.
Once you use FSD, you quickly realize that it is already safer than any human driver. The only problem that may occur, is with the Tesla Navigation system taking you to the wrong location or parking lot.
This is not the fault of the FSD system, and most of the time the car goes to the correct location. FSD will take you to a Tesla charging station and park perfectly.
One important tip that I have learned, is if you trying to make a left turn across a busy street, you should use the turn signal to tell the FSD to turn right, and then it will make a u-turn when possible. Just like a human driver would do in congested traffic.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 14 marks one of the biggest overhauls yet in the company’s push toward true vehicle autonomy.
According to CEO Elon Musk, this update “feels like a quantum leap” — powered by a vastly expanded neural network and new end-to-end planning models that allow smoother, more natural driving behavior.
🚘 Major Upgrades in FSD V14
10× Larger Neural Network: The driving model now has an order of magnitude more parameters than V13, allowing it to analyze complex traffic patterns and predict driver intent more accurately.
Improved Urban Navigation: City driving feels less jerky, and unprotected left turns are handled more confidently thanks to better path prediction.
Refined Autopark & Summon: Parking maneuvers are faster and more precise, using a new vector-based positioning system.
Reduced Driver Alerts: The new monitoring model can tell when you’re attentive without constant steering nudges — though supervision is still required.
Visual Enhancements: The in-car display now renders surrounding objects with smoother motion and higher fidelity, hinting at future robotaxi visualizations.
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
Still Level 2: Despite massive improvements, V14 remains a driver-assist system — not true autonomy. Drivers must stay alert and ready to intervene.
Hardware Compatibility: Only vehicles with HW4 or newer will receive the full V14 feature set.
Regulatory Oversight: Tesla continues to face close scrutiny from U.S. regulators over FSD safety and terminology.
🧠Early Access User Feedback
Early testers report that FSD V14 delivers smoother turns, fewer phantom braking incidents, and a more human-like sense of flow.
One beta user described it as “the first time the car truly feels like it understands what’s happening around it.”
🔮 What Comes Next
Tesla plans to iterate rapidly on this foundation, with FSD V14.2 and V14.3 expected to refine lane selection, improve merging logic, and expand vision-only autopilot capabilities.
Musk hinted that these updates could bring Tesla “closer than ever to generalized autonomy.”
