A new poll revealed that American voters are rejecting the false narrative that the spending-obsessed President Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure package has much to do with infrastructure. Rasmussen Reports released a new survey showing that “[a] majority of voters agree with a Republican senator’s denunciation of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package” that was passed August 10. The survey of 1,000 U.S. likely voters found that “51% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy’s [R] statement” that the so-called infrastructure bill is not a “real infrastructure” bill. Kennedy’s statement, which the majority of voters surveyed by Rasmussen...

Psychologist Nicholas Kardaras, author of "Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hijacking Our Kids - and How to Break the Trance", treated a patient with severe videogame addiction, who was gaming 19 hours per day and using adult diapers so as not to "waste time" using the restroom. Increasing overlap between social media and compulsory schooling has reached a certain boiling point during the Covid-19 pandemic. Schooling is not for maximizing children's potential, it is for socializing them to be mindless consumers and good drone employees of giant corporations, as it has been since the late 19th century Titans of...

The White House has announced that President Biden has spoken to Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson — the first world leader he’s engaged with since Kabul fell — as Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reveals he consulted with Hillary Clinton on Afghanistan efforts. Biden, who has returned to the White House from his vacation at Camp David a day earlier than planned, had a call with Johnson on Tuesday night regarding the situation in Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban takeover. The call came just hours after it was revealed that Biden hadn’t spoken to any world leaders some...

"Trudeau consulted with Hillary Clinton about Afghanistan. Why would he talk to HER? Did no-one in the Biden administration take his phone calls? So weird. Maybe she can give him some hard lessons from Benghazi that we can avoid in Kabul." Ezra Levant Twitter (30 sec video)

STORY AT-A-GLANCEAccording to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, COVID-19 “cases” have trended downward since peaking during the first and second week of January 2021. At first glance, this decline appears to be occurring in tandem with the rollout of COVID shots. However, “cases” were on the decline before a meaningful number of people had been vaccinatedCOVID-19 “cases” peaked January 8, 2021, when more than 300,000 new positive test results were recorded on a daily basis. By February 21, that had declined to a daily new case count of 55,000COVID-19 gene modification injections were granted emergency use authorization at...

There are words and then there are actions, and when it comes to the Taliban, there is little consistency between the two. The Taliban appear to have learned from Western politicians that there’s great value in playing the media in support of their cause, as seen this week when they claimed with a straight face that women’s rights will be respected in Afghanistan. On the same day this propaganda was being uttered, Taliban fighters shot and killed a woman in Takhar province after she went out in public without a burqa, according to The Associated Press. The Taliban have said...

VIDEOBrian Williams on his MSNBC show admitted during a discussion about the Afghanistan exit disaster what every already knows: that the media is "friendly" towards Joe Biden. Of course, the prime example of that "friendly media" is Brian Williams himself.

The police department in Waverley, a borough in southeast England, has an active Facebook page, where it encourages residents to take its Rural Crime Survey, and it details its current investigations. In the past few days, one officer had a "well-mannered conversation" with a 12-year-old about the current restrictions on electric scooters, another wrote that he enjoyed breaking in his new boots while on foot patrol (and he stopped to pet a puppy), and it's also investigating a rash of baked bean-related crimes in the village of Wonersh. That's right: baked bean-related crimes. "Local officers have received reports of incidents...

Kamala Harris has not been seen publicly in six days after she skipped out on joining Joe Biden for his Afghanistan press conference on Monday despite usually standing behind the president for his public remarks. Rather than taking her usual spot behind Biden's right shoulder as he updated the nation on the situation in Afghanistan and defended his decision to withdraw troops, the vice president watched the speech 'from the Green Room', according to a White House official. The move for Harris not to be beside the president came as a shock to some after she boasted of being the...

Twenty years ago, the military-industrial complex rushed the United States into a pair of wars that cost billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives — only to end in the abject humiliation of American power in Kabul over the past few days. Meanwhile, defense contractors, who had no financial incentive to properly train an Afghan military to operate independently of them, made off handsomely along the way. Today, a new alliance of big government and big business seeks to profiteer from the domestic culture war. I call it the woke-industrial complex. The consequences could be even more devastating...

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — Patricia Seemann runs her own medical practice, providing health care services to homebound patients. She said, up until two weeks ago, she was able to successfully treat every patient who contracted COVID-19. But, since then, she said seven fully vaccinated patients died from complications, such as pneumonia or stroke, caused by the virus. “They were all fully vaccinated, which was disturbing... For one, I got to the hospital, the initial report, he was doing well. 2 liters of oxygen, sitting up, good saturation rate, crashed in 72 hours and died,” Seemann said. She said the vaccine...

85 years ago tomorrow, the "Trial of the Sixteen" was held in Moscow, the opening of Stalin's Show Trials. Stalin suffered personal paranoia at the belief, perhaps not unfounded, that everyone was out to get him, that ultimately prompted him to purge the military of all officers above the rank of Major. When Hitler turned on Stalin, there was no one qualified to lead the Russians away from being cannon fodder. Defendants wept with gratitude as they were allowed to confess to crimes they made up out of their imaginations. Hitler courteously bows low to Stalin, murmuring, 'The scum of...
