Hundreds of wildfires in Canada’s forests-—those blazes raging from coast to coast—half of which are out of control. Various Canadian officials claim the wildfires are caused by carelessness, others by lightning strikes. What are the odds that more than 400 fires start contemporaneously? Why no investigations? Despite PM Trudeau, you’d think most Canadians would like to have that question answered.

Indicting Donald Trump under the Espionage Act for Mar-a-Lago documents would be a fully insane abuse of power that it’s hard to wrap your head around:
First of all, the Espionage Act is an unconstitutional relic of World War I that was passed in order to criminalize dissent against the war.
Second, it was signed into law decades before President Truman created the modern system of classification/declassification and so makes no reference to whether a document has been deemed classified.
Instead, it makes it a crime to retain documents related to the national defense that could be used to harm the United States, which in the case of Donald Trump is whatever the DOJ and Jack Smith want it to be.
The Espionage Act is also what the U.S. government has spent over a decade trying to extradite and charge Julian Assange under for the crime of reporting things that were leaked to him.
At the end of the day, the Presidential Records Act allows presidents to take their presidential records.
If Trump improperly took classified documents, that’s a dispute with the archives, not a crime.
If the Espionage Act reports are true, it just shows how emboldened the DOJ has become to go after enemies of the regime.

I suspect the fires were man-made as well. I’ve lived here for 70 years and have never experienced anything like this.
