A prominent Indigenous leader in the B.C. Southern Interior is condemning the acts of possible arson after four Catholic churches burnt down on First Nations land in six days. Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band, who is also the tribal chair and spokesperson of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, said there is no doubt in his mind the fires were intentionally set. “I wouldn’t call it suspicious, I’d call it what it is, it’s a criminal act, it’s vandalism. It’s arson,” he told Global News on Sunday. Obviously, it’s the same group of people. Why did they do it...

Blahblahblahblah Republicans didn't want to spend like drunk sailors and raise taxes, so they defunded the police. We need to re-think policing and empower the FBI.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Wednesday issued a lengthy statement highlighting the historic ties between the Black and the Jewish communities after she caused an uproar when she said in an interview on CNN that Jewish Democrats are not “partners in justice.” “I am someone who has survived war and experienced injustice firsthand, who is alive today because I was welcomed into this country as a refugee,” she wrote on Twitter. .....

While Texas Senator John Cornyn claims to be a Republican, he is neck-deep in DC trying to help Democrats pass Amnesty for millions of illegals which would give Democrats full and permanent control of all future national US elections. ALIPAC.us believes Texans will rise up against Cornyn's Amnesty plans and push back with the help of activists from across the nation. "Sen Cornyn is completely out of sync with his home state of Texas by supporting Amnesty deals with Democrats for millions of illegals," said William Gheen, spokesman of ALIPAC. "It is time for everyone to get on the phones...

'The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell,' progressive journalist writes Liberals pulled no punches in rejoicing over news of his death. "For those too young to know, Donald Rumsfeld was an atrocious human being whose legacy is engineering unlawful, disastrous & unnecessary wars that continue to traumatize generations. He had no remorse or contrition for his role in the bloodshed. May he kick rocks for eternity," The Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali reacted. "Bye, bi---," The Nation's Washington correspondent Aída Chávez replied. "The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s...

The Russian president issued the stark warning during a televised Q&A on Wednesday, during which he also boasted that even if Russia had sunk HMS Defender it would not have caused World War Three. The Russian leader suggested the U.S.' dominance was over A warplane dropped bombs in the path of British destroyer HMS Defender last Wednesday to force her out of an area near the Crimean Peninsula Putin boldly claimed his navy could have attacked the ship in the Black Sea because the West knows "full well that they can't win in that war". During his annual “Direct Line”...

Are Novus Ordo Catholics Being Exploited?In the years following Vatican II, it became evident to a relatively small number of Catholics that the architects and implementers of the Council were attempting to destroy the Church. Even Pope Paul VI identified the destruction, though he failed to identify the real cause:The Church finds herself in an hour of anxiety, a disturbed period of self-criticism, or what would even better be called self-demolition. It is an interior upheaval, acute and complicated, which nobody expected after the Council. It is almost as if the Church were attacking itself.Until the papacy of Pope Francis,...

President Joe Biden traveled to Miami, Florida to appear with Gov. Ron DeSantis and local officials on Thursday to signal support after the disastrous Surfside condo collapse. “Again, this is your show, we just want to make sure that whatever you need, including… anyway, I’m talking too much…” Biden said in his opening statement before turning the rescue and recovery efforts briefing over to local officials for comment.

As liberal America freaks out over the Delta variant, there really isn’t much to worry about. It’s more transmissible—that’s it. Also, this isn’t the first variant that had this characteristic. Like the others, it’s not more lethal and it doesn’t make you sicker. All the vaccines available are effective against it. So, what’s the worry. Oh, the people who haven’t been jabbed. That’s their decision. For the rest of us who have been vaccinated or have recovered from the infection, live your life. Return to normal living. Go outside. This pandemic is over—and no, you don’t have to wait for...

June 30 (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N) Vice Chairman Charlie Munger praised China's move to impose a sweeping restructuring on Jack Ma’s Ant Group, the fintech giant whose record $37 billion IPO was derailed by regulators in November. The 97-year-old told CNBC in an interview alongside Berkshire CEO and billionaire investor Warren Buffett that the United States should take a leaf out of China's book and "step in preemptively to stop speculation". "I don't want the, all of the Chinese system, but I certainly would like to have the financial part of it in my own country," he said...

On a beautiful Sunday morning, I was out of town for a business meeting in the city of Santa Barbara, California, an affluent area where the rich and famous live. Demographically, it isn't exactly Wakanda. Before getting on the 101 Freeway for the long drive back to Los Angeles, I pulled into a gas station to fill up. Just as I got out of my car, I heard a booming male voice shout, "Hey, want a banana?" My head jerked up to locate the racist. Turns out the man who bellowed was standing next to his SUV, tailgate open, where...

Inflation is becoming a very serious problem for Americans. The problem is so bad that even Bloomberg News admits it. Bloomberg News underscored the issue in a new story headlined, “Inflation Eats at Surging U.S. Pay With Biden Plans at Stake.” The outlet reported that “Americans are enjoying outsized pay boosts this year from desperate employers, but the raises are failing to keep pace with surging prices for everyday goods.” Despite U.S. wages forecasted to have increased by an optimistic 3.6 percent in June, “prices for everything from milk to car rentals and gasoline are rising at a rapid clip,...

We were told that it was a debunked conspiracy theory. There's no way an authoritarian regime with an appalling human rights record and a secret police apparatus would ever cover up a massive screwup, like a pathogen escaping from a lab and causing a global pandemic. That can never happen, right? We thought so. The liberal media and the Big Tech establishment thought this was too crazy to even consider and smeared and censored those who lobbed such a claim. Both parties have Chinese interests, so I guess it makes sense. But also, Donald Trump and the GOP lobbed this...

"No!" several people in the crowd, made up of mostly Republican members of Congress and staffers, shouted back at Acosta. Some in the crowd began to boo the White House reporter-turned-weekend anchor. After the crowd shouted Acosta down, Trump looked in the anchor's direction, smirked...

In a 6-3 opinion issued Thursday morning, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a California requirement for charitable organizations to turn over information on donors is unconstitutional. The opinion of the Court — authored by Chief Justice John Roberts — in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, Attorney General of California, found that "California’s disclosure requirement is facially invalid because it burdens donors’ First Amendment rights and is not narrowly tailored to an important government interest." The invalidated measure required charities in California to turn over names of their largest donors to the state, something conservatives say...

While Bill Cosby may have walked out of prison a free man yesterday, the courts saw to it that he endured two criminal trials and spent years in prison during his appeals.On June 30, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court tossed the criminal sexual assault conviction against Bill Cosby, concluding that the 2005 decision by District Attorney Bruce Castor not to prosecute Cosby for the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand barred Pennsylvania from later charging Cosby with that crime. Given the avalanche of allegations that the former actor and comedian drugged and then sexually assaulted scores of young women, Wednesday’s decision...

A water disinfectant created on the spot using just hydrogen and the air around us is millions of times more effective at killing viruses and bacteria than traditional commercial methods, according to scientists from Cardiff University. Reporting their findings today in the journal Nature Catalysis, the team say the results could revolutionize water disinfection technologies and present an unprecedented opportunity to provide clean water to communities that need it most. Their new method works by using a catalyst made from gold and palladium that takes in hydrogen and oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide—a commonly used disinfectant that is currently produced...
