As the world was buffeted by a coronavirus tsunami leaving forced lockdowns, supply-chain problems, economic upheaval, and poverty in its wake, globalist financial elites “have had a terrific pandemic” according to a report released Monday. The world’s 10 richest men have more than doubled their fortunes to $1.9 trillion, at a rate of $1.6 billion a day, over the past 12 months, proving elites have largely been spared the misery and financial ruin inflicted on so many by endless enforced lockdowns. A confederation of charities that focus on alleviating global poverty, Oxfam said members of the globalist financial elites saw...

Together with guarded hopes that the decline of the omicron COVID-19 wave marks the beginning of the end of the pandemic comes the question: what happens when it has finally run its course? What will the post-pandemic world be like? The most likely scenario is that it will unleash the greatest political jailbreak since the end of the second world war. Only a few months after Hitler’s armies surrendered, the British electorate, eager to put the restrictions of war behind them, handed Winston Churchill a landslide defeat and replaced him with Clement Atlee. Once victory removed the rationale for all...

OTTAWA — Health Canada has approved Paxlovid, Pfizer’s oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19 that has been touted as a way to ease pressure on health-care systems overburdened by rising case counts. According to an authorization posted on the regulator’s web page Monday morning, the treatment has been approved for adults with mild to moderate forms of the illness who are at high risk of developing more severe outcomes. Because safety and efficacy data was not submitted to Health Canada on the use of the drug on younger age groups, Paxlovid has not been approved for pediatric patients. The pill is...

President Joe Biden called for the renewal of monthly government payouts to families, noting its success at reducing child poverty. “That child tax credit was really helpful and we gotta get that renewed,” Biden said Sunday, during a visit to Philabundance, a hunger relief organization in Philadelphia.

Senate Democrats believe there is a good chance the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which would have major political reverberations ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Democratic lawmakers say they don’t have any inside information on what might happen and describe Attorney General Merrick Garland as someone who would make sure to run any investigation strictly “by the book.” But they also say the fact that Garland has provided little indication about whether the Department of Justice...

I know this is discussed frequently on here, but wanted to gather your input. Do you actually think the Fed will carry on with its plan to raise rates? Even though it can potentially trigger a stock market correction/housing correction? If this scenario plays out, I can see it making Biden/Democrats even more unpopular heading into the midterms. On the other hand, if the Fed doesn't raise rates and remains complacent, inflation could continue raging. Either way, it seems like Biden/Democrats/the Swamp are on the losing end of this.

Remember when BMW wanted to charge drivers to use Apple CarPlay? How about the subscription required for the Mercedes EQS's rear-wheel steering functionality in Europe? It turns out that luxury marques aren't the only ones looking to cash in on that sweet, sweet software as a service cash: Toyota has been testing the waters by making the remote start functionality on your proximity key fob part of a larger connected services subscription.Yes, it appears the pay-to-play ethos that's spreading around the industry has reached the world's largest automaker. A Toyota spokesperson confirmed to The Drive that if a 2018 or...

Kim McGahey wrote the Conservative Common Sense column for the Summit Daily newspaper for 14 months, a relationship which was terminated at the beginning of this year. The following is the final column submitted by McGahey, which the Daily did not run... We have reached the height of bureaucratic overreach by unelected officials in Summit County with the recent mask mandate. This backward decision is just the next step in a long line of Draconian measures endorsed by our hapless Democrat county elected officials in an effort to control our local population. By their own admission, the county commissioners see...

A fascinating collection of 1920s 'life-coaching' posters which were designed to encourage good behaviour in the workplace have come to light. They were produced by the now-defunct print company Parker-Holladay who created the well-dressed character Bill Jones to dispense pearls of wisdom and have emerged for sale for £3,000 with Ewbank's Auctions, of Woking, Surrey. The 'productivity at work' posters were placed in factories and offices across Britain and carried messages about self-control and avoiding confrontation. They were so successful that they were used in America and Canada.

Globalist elites have been denied their annual jolly to a Swiss ski resort for the second year in a row, as the World Economic Forum began its virtual meeting for the Davos Agenda on Monday. The virtual summit was kicked off on Monday by two key figures in how the Coronavirus pandemic shaped the world of 2022, with an address by Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, followed by a panel discussion featuring Dr Anthony Fauci.

Video of the president appeared to show Biden delivering his address from his video set across the street from the White House — even as he spent the day at his home in Delaware.

Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies saw a whopping total of $272 million in thefts in 2021 compared to a mere $161 million in 2020. This could be because these platforms are newer and therefore less secure. They have vulnerabilities that have yet to be identified and fixed and are therefore a better target for hackers looking to profit quickly. Chainalysis further noted that the hacks were all carried out by APT 38, also known as the “Lazarus Group.” This group is led by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea's primary intelligence agency, the U.S. and UN-sanctioned Reconnaissance General Bureau. It is currently believed...

Robin Baucom, 59, a grandmother, had worked in the restaurant for more than three decades. The scene unfolded quickly. A car pulled while another employee was entering the store before business hours, and someone jumped out of it and tried to take the employee’s purse, the Star-Telegram reported.

If you had any hopes that the mainstream media was slowly beginning to realize that people don’t like pandemic mandates that impinge on their personal freedoms and might back off from such authoritarian notions, you may safely put those hopes aside. Or at least that’s the case with the Salt Lake Tribune newspaper in Utah. While others have been gradually looking at ways to return life to normal now that there are vaccines and other treatments available to keep the worst of the COVID threat under control, the editorial board at the Tribune recently veered off in the opposite direction....
