VIDEOFirst the CBC tried to just ignore the Freedom Convoy which is now converging on Ottawa. However, when the trucker movement in Canada became too big to ignore, the CBC began smearing them as "extremists" and "bad apples" as you can see in this video in which the Canadian media is desperately trying to marginalize the members of the Freedom Convoy.

A remarkable failure of meaningful reporting about the massive military buildup in and around Ukraine in recent weeks results in most Americans having no idea how close we have been brought to armed conflict with the Russian Federation.Even those Americans who have sought out news about Ukraine can do little more than watch from the sidelines as those currently leading our nation inch us toward a potential catastrophe.​Although going to war is the most consequential decision that a nation can make, the people are rarely consulted by the elites, who are largely immunized from the consequences of their actions.

A speech therapist says that mask wearing during the pandemic has caused a 364% increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers. Jaclyn Theek told WPBF News that before the pandemic, only 5 per cent of patients were babies and toddlers, but this has soared to 20 per cent. Parents are describing their children’s speech problems as “COVID delayed,” with face coverings the primary cause of their speaking skills being seriously impaired. As young as 8 months old, babies start learning how to speak by reading lips, a thankless task if parents and carers smother themselves with masks to comply...

Florida authorities this week said LGBTQ+ dating apps have helped them make upwards of 60 drug-related arrests. In a six-month sting operation which officers called “Swipe Left for Meth,” undercover detectives used dating apps like Grindr and Scruff – targeted toward men who have sex with men – to locate a number of people suspected of buying and selling drugs online. The operation produced more than 60 arrests, according to a news release, and detectives have obtained warrants for at least eight other suspects. Detectives during the investigation filed 159 total felony charges and 72 misdemeanor charges against the suspects,...

Attorney Wally Zimolong walks Steve Bannon through the facts of his lawsuit in Pennsylvania, in which the court today agreed that the law of Pennsylvania does not allow “no excuse” mail-in balloting. This ruling said the attempt to allow such mail-in balloting was invalid from the start, meaning before the 2020 election.

Neil Young has a big supporter in his Spotify boycott. Earlier this week, the famed rocker wrote an open letter to the streamer, threatening to remove his music from the platform. He blamed Spotify for spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccines via Joe Rogan's podcast. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both," he wrote in the letter. Spotify has since removed the artist's music. On Thursday, the "Heart of Gold" singer's boycott of the platform was praised by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization. ".@NeilYoungNYA, thanks for standing up against misinformation and inaccuracies around #COVID19 vaccination,"...

In Pennsylvania, in the 2020 presidential election, President Joe Biden received nearly 2 million mail-in votes, which according to a new court ruling, would be "unconstitutional" for future elections. On Friday morning, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down the state's 2019 law that expanded mail-in voting. The ruling comes after former President Donald Trump and his allies have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election, filing numerous court cases following the 2020 election.

Is this the week we got a clear sign that the Age of the Baby Boomer is over? Neil Young threw a fit, invoked his Baby Boomer Privilege Card, and demanded that Spotify cancel Joe Rogan, but instead Spotify borrowed from Lynyrd Skynyrd and said “we don’t need him around anyhow,” and promptly dropped Young. Heh. Now we get to needle Young, and see the self-inflicted damage done. Double-heh. (UPDATE: Oh no! Not Barry Manilow too? Let the meme sequels begin!)

@ggreenwald Remember that NBC lured @MegynKelly away from Fox with a $69 million contract but chose to fire her after 6 months and pay her rather than withstand liberal anger. At some point, Spotify will face the same choice with Joe Rogan: how much are they willing to lose to keep him? Obviously, Spotify is not going to get rid of Rogan over Neil Young or Joni Mitchell. But for US liberalism, censorship is a virtual religion now, so they will start pressuring bigger names to do this. They try to make any platform toxic which allows dissent from liberal...

As the Sacramento City Unified School District pushed its deadline back for students to either get vaccinated against COVID-19 or consent to weekly testing, a correlation was found between schools with low vaccination rates and low state standardized testing scores.

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack...

News media has faced heightened criticism from right-leaning politicians as a trucker convoy rolls into Ottawa, but one former conservative strategist says it’s an example of a long-standing tactic. Tim Powers, the chair of Summa Strategies, told Global News that criticizing the media is “part of normal strategic practice” for conservative politicians, particularly when they feel like they’re in trouble. Powers said the practice in Canada dates back to the Brian Mulroney era and was a successful tool for Stephen Harper.

At a critical point in the 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan had enough and cleaned house of his senior political advisors including campaign manager John Sears. One staffer would later recall, “Ronald Reagan would not have come so close in 1976 had he not hired John Sears; and Ronald Reagan would not have won the GOP nomination had he not fired John Sears in 1980.” As it does on so many occasions, history repeats itself. Like Reagan before him, Donald Trump now must clean house if he hopes to make a serious political comeback. Trump’s 2016 win was mostly of his...
