Australian truckers used social media over the weekend to plan their own “Freedom Convoy” similar to the one in Canada, telling supporters they should “swarm to Canberra to protest mandates and restrictions” on Monday. A GoFundMe page for the convoy was frozen after raising over $160,000 to support the cause.

The Biden administration’s decision to award over a billion dollars to a Chinese company that manufactures coronavirus test kits has prompted outrage from congressional Republicans. Rep. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.) compared the Pentagon's decision to award a $1.3 billion contract to iHealth, a subsidiary of China’s Andon Health Co. Ltd. that will supply millions of COVID-19 tests to the United States, to "paying the arsonist for helping put out the fire." Waltz said he was concerned that the deal further endangers America’s supply chains and that the United States cannot be reliant on a hostile country such as China, where...

Yet another funeral director is sounding the alarm over the massive spike in 'natural' deaths that are anything but natural. Funeral director John O’Looney of Milton Keynes family funeral services in Milton Keynes, England lays out the details in this 30+ minute video and explains that all of those he is referring to are fully or partially vaxxed!“So, what we’re seeing is an ever-growing number, particularly of thrombosis deaths, interestingly. So, that comes across as heart attack, aneurysm, or stroke, and they’re in unprecedented numbers. I’ve never seen as many deaths. And not in just the elderly. It’s all manner...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked media outlets who focused on the consequences of 'soft-on-crime' policies during a surge in violence across the country and said some coverage is from an 'alternate universe'. Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and insisted Americans care 'more about what’s happening in their lives than what’s necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'. She laughed off concerns despite a 510 percent nationwide spike in carjackings over the last year, 24 police officers...

It’s now been two years that COVID-19 has been in Illinois and for most of that, children have had to wear masks in schools, when they’ve been open. An expected ruling from a circuit court could change that. The case of more than 700 parents suing more than 140 school districts over mask and exclusion mandates on children without due process is under advisement by Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene Grischow. She said earlier this month to not expect a ruling before Friday. Earlier this month, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Verticchio argued in court for the mandates he said...

2,000 Mules, The Background of the 2020 Election FraudJanuary 30, 2022 | Sundance | 392 CommentsCTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year. {GO DEEP} There will be a response. Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation’s history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.First, the preview: EXPLOSIVE New Surveillance Footage of Ballot Drop Boxes ***** No one wants to join Michael Hastings, and yet...

A funny thing happened as I was working with the content this morning. Joe Rogan addressed the Spotify controversy. As I was transcribing some of what he said and scrolling through the blue checkmarks that showed support, one stood out. The jabroni-beating, pie-eating, trailblazing, eyebrow-raising, laying-the-smackdown, causing-no-fuss, Neil-Young-can-keep-on--rocking-deez-nuts...actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "Great stuff here brother. Perfectly articulated. Look forward to coming on one day and breaking out the tequila with you. Three things come to mind. One, Joe Rogan absolutely has to have The Rock on his podcast. I'm surprised he hasn't yet. Two, The Rock is lending a...

A musical tribute I put together for our Canadian truckers as they are joining together and making a stand against the tyranny! They are on the road headed to Ottawa right now coming from all corners of our country making us so proud and hopefully waking a few folks up along the way! As always Stay Free and Creative Everyone!

New research sheds light on how people resolve inconsistencies between their own moral views and that of their preferred candidate. The findings, published in Political Psychology, suggest that U.S. voters on both sides of the political aisle tend to revise their perceptions of political leaders they support to align with their own moral beliefs. The study, which examined the 2016 U.S. presidential election, also found that Republicans, but not Democrats, appeared to revise their own moral beliefs to reduce incongruities with Donald Trump. “A lot of work in political science research shows how voters are often ‘followers,’ adjusting their views...

Paris (AFP) – Climate change is on track to ramp up the annual cost of US flood damage more than 25 percent by 2050, according to new research Monday that warns disadvantaged communities will likely bear the brunt of the financial burden. The study published in the journal Nature Climate Change used new flood models to map out the present and future impact of sea level rise, tropical cyclones and changing weather patterns. Researchers used nationwide property asset data, information on communities and flood projections to estimate flood risk across the US. The study showed that poorer communities with a...

We all know that drinking too much is bad for us. But what about just a few glasses a week? Red wine has antioxidants, we've been told, so a few glasses are apparently 'good for you'. Other studies have suggested that low-to-moderate drinkers are less likely to have a heart attack than those who avoid drinking altogether. Wine is even included (in moderation) in the Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest food plans on the planet! But a new study based on a huge data set from the United Kingdom now suggests that the J- or U- shaped curve of...

I'm telling you right off the bat here, that as far as personal innovation goes in this article, there's not all that much. All I'm doing here is taking someone else's brilliant idea and breaking it down for you a bit, offering a few suggestions and other applications. That said, I've never seen what I consider to be a really satisfactory explanation of the science behind the No-Knead Bread recipe, so I'm gonna try and fill that hole here. And what cool science it is. In 2006, Mark Bittman introduced the world to a recipe from Jim Lahey of Sullivan...

As tensions continue on the border with Russia, Ukrainian electricians, nurses, lawyers and even priests are volunteering for the country’s Territorial Defence Forces, a civilian reserve intended to support the regular army in case of a Russian invasion. FRANCE 24 met some citizen-soldiers at one of their bases in Kharkiv, 40 kilometres from the border. "Don't aim for the head, aim for the crotch. That way, you're sure to hit your target even if it ducks at the last minute," an Ukrainian instructor tells a small group of recruits dressed in camouflage clothing. Kalashnikovs in hand, the volunteers have been...

Closing schools worked. Closing restaurants worked. Wearing masks worked. We know they worked because the governors that ordered them said so. The CDC said so. The NIH said so. We were granted the greatest scientific experiment COVID-19 could offer (except for the cruise ships, which provided the original scientific experiment and was ignored). Many states had (and have) wildly different policies during the pandemic. The question we need to ask and data we need to study is, if the tight restrictions worked, did they result in fewer COVID-19 and moreover total excess deaths? Comparing one state to another, cherry-picking low-impacted...

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg assured that "the passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure legislation will not go down the tired old path of providing more lane-miles of roads and bridges that has been the traditional transportation strategy in the past. Traveling on roadways is one of the most dangerous things most Americans do on a regular basis. Reducing this travel will be the core objective of my plan." "The first prong of my plan will be to get people out of their cars," the Secretary said. "This means making alternatives to driving crucial. We need to improve crosswalks, add...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Jan. 30. The full account in the TIMES, yesterday, of the Burnside Expedition was a timely relief, not only to the public, but to the Government. The suspense had become painful, and the brief official dispatch of Gen. BURNSIDE by no means relieved the anxiety. The messenger who brought this official dispatch, was requested by Gen. MCCLELLAN to write out a detailed statement of all that happened to the expedition after its sailing, for publication in the newspapers. The messenger replied that it was not necessary, as a correspondent of the NEW YORK TIMES had come on with...

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom was found, yet again, flouting Wuhan coronavirus rules and regulations over the weekend as he continues to claim the state is in an "emergency." Newsom attended the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49rs game. During the event, he snapped photos with NBA star Magic Johnson. Johnson is HIV positive and immunocompromised.
