An entrepreneurial teen with a soft spot for maple syrup is inspiring others by running a thriving company at the age of 16. High school junior Will Wanish started out tapping maple trees in his own backyard in Colfax, Wisconsin. In 2019, he used money earned working at a neighbor’s dairy farm to build his first steel sugar shed. Securing a microloan from a regional business fund, he furnished the shed with $30,000 worth of specialized equipment, allowing him to collect sap from around 3,000 taps on 1,000 trees on land owned by his grandparents and neighbors. This is how...

the current environment of monetary stimulus, and fiscal stimulus in the form of trillions in government spending designed to boost borrowing and spending, combined with supply chain disruptions, has created the perfect conditions for inflation. The average person may not see it yet, but it’s coming. The numbers don’t lie. Over the past year the entire commodities complex, everything from copper and steel to crude oil, cotton and soybeans, has climbed steadily; the Thomson Reuters/ Core Commodity (CRB) Index is up 70% since last May. As the largest economies rebound from the pandemic amid massive government stimulus spending, manufacturing and...

At least 50 are also reported to have been injured by the blast, which happened in the Shia-majority neighbourhood of Dasht-i-Barchi.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a clear pathway to running for president in 2024, emerging from the coronavirus pandemic as the most recognizable Republican governor in the country. But Democrats, hoping to reverse years of letdown in marquee races and mismanagement inside the state party, are eager to stop the Republican governor before he even gets to the starting line of a presidential bid, viewing the 2022 gubernatorial election in Florida as a chance to cut short the governor's surge. "It is always easier to stop someone's rise sooner rather than later," said David Turner, spokesman for the Democratic Governors...

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who describes herself as a “trained Marxist” while also owning four homes in high-end neighborhoods worth more than $3.2 million, celebrated comparisons of the American left-wing movement to the deadly Chinese Cultural Revolution orchestrated by Mao Zedong. In a 2010 video of a United States Social Forum panel on “Transformative Organizing Theory” unearthed by the National Pulse, Cullors shares a story of a young activist in Arizona who showed interest in a left-wing book Cullors was promoting and compared it to Mao’s “Little Red Book.” “He grabbed the book,” Cullors said, referring to “The...

The Colonial Pipeline Company said late Friday that it was the victim of a cyberattack, sparking the company to proactively take certain systems offline and temporarily halt all pipeline operations. The company said the attack had impacted some of its IT systems, but did not say if any of its operational technology (OT) systems were directly impacted. It's unclear if the incident involved ransomware, or was another form...

The three sniper teams positioned themselves 600 to 900 yards away from the “kill zone,” the access road from the airfield, setting up to triangulate their target as he left the airport. One of the snipers had a spotting scope with a camera attached that livestreamed back to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, where the Delta Ground Force commander was based with support staff. Long-range marksmanship involves contesting with a variety of environmental factors, including wind, but the Delta teams didn't rely on guesswork. A member of the Counter Terrorism Group (CTG), an elite Kurdish unit in northern Iraq with...

Charlotte, NC — In a new bombshell report, US State Department Investigators found that the Chinese Communist Party was preparing for World War 3 utilizing biological weapons, including coronaviruses, starting in 2015. The dossier from the People’s Liberation Army outlined how biological weapons would be the preferred method for fighting in a potential world war. The document outlined the manipulation that the Chinese government was proposing of viruses, the potential release methods for such viruses, and the impact that such a virus would have on medical systems. The reports were originally covered by The Australian. Details such as days of...

A high school teacher in Fairbanks, Alaska, has reportedly been placed on administrative leave after suggesting to students that George Floyd would still be alive today had he complied with Minneapolis police. In a video posted to YouTube last week, a teacher identified as "Ms. Gardner" is seen and heard conducting a virtual discussion with students about several high-profile shootings that have occurred in America of late, including police-involved incidents with black Americans.

VIDEOAs soon as the April jobs report came out with it's lousy numbers, I knew the media would come up with laughably lame excuses to cover for Joe Biden. They did not disappoint.

Not long after the November 2020 election, it seemed federalism in America was finished. Not only had the state legislatures in 2020 rolled over to the governors on the lockdowns and mask mandates, but Republican legislatures folded faster than overcooked pasta when it came to addressing the fraud in President Donald Trump’s election. In Georgia and Arizona, governments stood aside or willingly pitched in to ensure that Joe Biden “won” their states. Courts did nothing, whiffing on dozens of fraud suits. I thought federalism was finished. But the old line from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” comes to mind....

"However, in the chart above from Dr. Frank (showing 20.3% of ballots sent to PO Boxes), we see that there are only 14,901 ballots in Defendants Benson's official database (i.e., only 14,901 people actually voted). This means that of the actual 15,962 ballots counted in December, there [are] 1,061 that are not in the database, meaning they do not exist on the voter rolls, meaning they are most likely phantom ballots. Where did they come from? The actual ballots must be audited. We must also consider what happened at the "hand recount" on December 17, 2020, when the Secretary of...

An explosive new study by researchers at the prestigious Salk Institute casts doubt on the current crop of gene-based vaccines that may pose a grave risk to public health. The article, which is titled “The novel coronavirus’ spike protein plays an additional key role in illness”, shows that SARS-CoV-2’s “distinctive ‘spike’ protein”….”damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease.” While the paper focuses strictly on Covid-related issues, it unavoidably raises questions about the new vaccines that contain billions of spike proteins that could greatly increase the chances of severe illness or death. Now there is solid evidence that: Covid-19...

The Social Order The Walt Disney Corporation famously bills its amusement parks as “the happiest place on Earth,” but inside the company’s headquarters in Burbank, California, a conflict is brewing. In the past year, Disney executives have elevated the ideology of critical race theory into a new corporate dogma, bombarded employees with trainings on “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white fragility,” and “white saviors,” and launched racially segregated “affinity groups” at the company’s headquarters. I have obtained a trove of whistleblower documents related to Disney’s “diversity and inclusion” program, called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which paints a disturbing picture of the company’s embrace...
