The radical left really, really doesn’t want people who fight for freedom to get support from the masses. First, GoFundMe pulled down the Truckers’ Convoy donation page and started refunding over $9 million instead of giving it to the freedom fighters. Now, upset fascists have attacked GiveSendGo to prevent them from accepting donations for the truckers or anyone else.

BEIJING (AP) — Not enough food. Inedible meals. No training equipment. Some Olympic athletes unlucky enough to test positive for the coronavirus at the Beijing Olympics feel their quarantine conditions are making a bad situation much worse. “My stomach hurts, I’m very pale and I have huge black circles around my eyes. I want all this to end. I cry every day. I’m very tired,” Russian biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova posted on Instagram from one of Beijing’s so-called quarantine hotels. Her problem wasn’t with any symptoms of the virus. It was the food. Vasnetsova posted a picture Thursday of what...

"Taped on the wall by my desk," wrote Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn in the summer of 2020, "is a photo of Jimmy Lai in handcuffs. It was taken (Aug. 10, 2020), the day 200 Hong Kong police raided his Apple Daily newspaper and arrested him. It is my most treasured photo of Jimmy, who also happens to be my godson, having been baptized in 1997 just before the handover of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty. The point is that though the handcuffs were intended to humiliate him, every man, woman and child in Hong Kong saw them for...

Tehran (AFP) – US steps on lifting sanctions are "good but not enough", Iran's foreign minister said on Saturday, hours after Washington announced it was waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear programme. The US action came as talks to restore a 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers over its nuclear programme reached an advanced stage, with the issue of sanctions relief a major issue. The US State Department on Friday said it was waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear programme in a technical step necessary to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. Former president...

All DW's staff have lost their press accreditations and the channel is barred from broadcasting in Russia. Russia argued it was retaliating after German regulators decided a new Russian state-run TV channel, RT DE, did not have a suitable licence to operate. RT has channels in English, French and Spanish and launched its German-language satellite channel in December 2021, using a licence from Serbia, outside the European Union. Russia's foreign ministry said it was also launching a procedure to label Deutsche Welle as a foreign agent... RT has faced difficulties with its English-language channel too. It was fined £200,000 by...

Keith Wilson is the lawyer representing the “Truckers for Freedom” organization. Earlier today, prior to the GoFundMe announcement, Mr. Wilson posted a video message for everyone concerning the earlier announcement made by the Ottawa Police chief Peter Sloly. [Background Story] One note: I believe the referenced Canadian Freedom Charter was suspended as part of the national state of emergency declared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the justification for the restrictions now being protested.

A new risk calculator could reduce the number of unnecessary and invasive biopsies for prostate cancer. Adam Kinnaird, a surgeon, said the tool is available online for free, requires only conventional clinical data paired with data from prostate MRI scans, and targets an unmet clinical need for prostate cancer patients. "Only about 25 to 30 percent of them may show some prostate cancer, and up to seven percent of men, after they've had a prostate biopsy, end up getting hospitalized within 30 days. And, there's a four percent risk of what's called post-biopsy sepsis, which can cause patients to end...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday criticized the Republican National Committee's (RNC) effort to censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), saying he considered the move by their fellow Republicans shameful. Romney, a leading critic of former President Trump within the Senate GOP conference, signaled his support for Cheney and Kinzinger, also both prominent Trump critics, and said in a tweet that "shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol." He praised them for seeking answers despite the professional and personal consequences. Both Cheney and Kinzinger are...

A judge in downstate Sangamon County granted a temporary restraining order Friday effectively prohibiting mask requirements for students in numerous school districts across the state. Parents filed suit against more than 140 school districts, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois State Board of Education last year, arguing there was no due process in Illinois' statewide mask order. Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene Grischow heard oral arguments in the case earlier this month prior to granting the temporary restraining order. The ruling announced Friday afternoon states defendants are temporarily restrained from ordering school districts to require masks for students and...

I could comment on how China didn’t let either a global pandemic or a muted global concern over their human rights violations stop them from throwing a really big party to celebrate the opening of the Olympic games. It wasn’t as creepy as their 2008 Summer Olympics opening, which showcased 5000 identical drummers drumming in unison…They chose a much less threatening theme this time around: snowflakes,and hearts…Ironic, no?It was touching; cute kids singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” – in what passed for English – and the IOC President urging everyone to just “give peace a chance” – also in what passed...

This week, Whoopi Goldberg proved she believes in a flawed and harmful ideology. And no, it’s not antisemitism. Goldberg is one of many Americans who has been wrongfully led to believe every issue needs to be looked at through the lens of race. If there’s not a black victim and a white oppressor, there’s no story. Goldberg’s remark that the Holocaust – the systematic murder of six million European Jews – was “not about race” could stem from a lack of historical knowledge. After all, a 2020 poll revealed that a tenth of young Americans reported that they had never...

Violence has spiraled at a Manhattan middle school in one of the city’s top districts this year — and administrators aren’t doing enough to stop it, a group of parents told the Post. A string of incidents at 75 Morton, including a bus stop beating and a cafeteria body slam, drew a rare visit from Department of Education security chief Mark Rampersant on Friday, sources said. Some parents assert that principal Valerie Leak — who is in her first year at the helm — has neglected violent incidents and relied largely on restorative justice strategies to maintain order. Instead of...

She doesn't know precisely why CNN boss Jeff Zucker was forced out, but Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan wrote on Friday that "Jeff Zucker’s legacy is defined by his promotion of Donald Trump." All of CNN's horror-movie coverage was never enough.

The plane went down near the Maria Reiche airfield in the city of Nazca.... The head of the Nazca police, Cmdr Edgar Espinoza, told journalists that the plane apparently caught fire after hitting the ground. Aero Santos, the tour company that owns the plane, said the craft carried five tourists, a pilot and a co-pilot. The Nazca Lines, one of Peru’s most popular tourist attractions... The protected 400-square-kilometer (250-square-mile) region, which lies some 450km south of the capital, Lima, between the towns of Nazca and Palpa, is often viewed by tourists from the sky to get the best view of...

A Rumble Video Jan Markell hosts two pastors, Tom Hughes and Mark Henry, for the hour. Everything is being set up as we trend towards the Tribulation. Tribulation-like distress with perplexity is exploding. And the globalists are always looking for a crisis to play off of. They consider potential crises for 2022 as well as the apocalyptic actions of Pope Francis. Maranatha Bride!

One very lucky guy just collected a six-figure lottery win in Virginia, after all 264 of his tickets came up winners in two separate drawings, Virginia Lottery officials say. Yes, 264 tickets. Jalen Taylor of Charlottesville won $132,000 when each ticket proved to be worth $500, Virginia Lottery officials said in a Feb. 3 news release. The prize came after Taylor went big and bought two large batches of Pick 3 tickets over a two-month span. The first was 104 tickets with the numbers 960 he got for the Nov. 18 drawing, and the second was 160 tickets with the...

Commentators have assumed that the Ukraine stands little chance of fending off an overwhelming onslaught from Russia because of Russia’s vastly superior troop and weapons strength. But history proves an inferior force dedicated to unconventional warfare can so damage a superior one as to compel its withdrawal or cause its defeat. The American Revolution proved that point in the Eighteenth Century. Consider Russia’s horrendous losses in Afghanistan before it was forced to withdraw. We ourselves experienced a comparable disaster in Vietnam and many would argue in Afghanistan. Based on those and other examples, the Ukrainians’ fate is indeed very much...

CNN left its roots, stopped being the news agency with international reach it set out to be, and morphed into an increasingly maniacal, 24/7 left-wing diatribe. CNN is dying. Its president, Jeff Zucker, was just fired. (Or, rather, he “resigned.”) The network’s viewership is plummeting, and fewer than 500,000 people on average tuned in last month. Advertisers don’t send their dollars there much anymore, and the “stars” the network once had either have been removed for cause or caught up in sex or other scandals. Chris “Fredo” Cuomo threatened to burn the place down after getting fired last year. Why...
