VIDEOConvoy Karen aka Diane Deans went berserk when another member of Ottawa's Police Services Board on February 5, 2022 made the suggestion that Justin Trudeau do his job and meet with the truckers.

Less than 20 months in, Dallas has laid the groundwork for its long-term climate action plan, which directs the city to better manage carbon emissions by 2050. In its first year, city staff said they achieved 93% of their assigned annual goals and began work on half the actions from the 30-year climate plan approved by the City Council in May 2020. Among the completed tasks: a new urban forestry website, the launch of its sustainable procurement program, the installation of air quality monitors and hundreds of new trees planted. With nearly 100 actions items, the plan addresses eight issues:...

New York (CNN Business)Spirit and Frontier Airlines on Monday announced a $6.6 billion merger, a combination of low-fare carriers that would create America's fifth-largest airline. The companies have yet to say what brand they'll fly under or who would lead management of the new airline. The combined company would offer more than 1,000 daily flights to over 145 destinations.

researchers say wearing ladies tights on your face could slash your risk of getting Covid. One of the criticisms aimed at commonly worn face coverings is that they do not fit tightly enough to significantly block viral particles from being inhaled or exhaled. As part of a new study, Cambridge University experts reviewed a variety of DIY hacks people have used to make masks fit better, including using rubber bands or tape. Curiously, they found the most effective tactic was to wrap pantyhose around the bottom half of the face — on top of a mask. This, the scientists said,...

It’s a pattern that’s almost algorithmic by now. Hateful graffiti or messages are used to deface a public place. Outrage ensues. Liberals publicly flog conservatives — especially those who support former President Donald Trump. The guilty party turns out to be someone diametrically opposed to conservative ideology. There was a bit of a deviation from the norm after the arrest of a man who allegedly sprayed swastikas on the entrance Union Station in Washington, D.C.’s, one day after Holocaust Remembrance Day. Usually, these things are the work of hoax artists. In this case, it turns out to be a Hispanic...

What a power play: https://twitter.com/Not_the_Bee/status/1490718158449172481Gotta wonder at what point Rogan will start entertaining these offers, especially since Spotify is removing some of his episodes and the CEO just apologized to employees for contracting with him. Stay tuned to see what happens! In the meantime, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon has an equally enticing proposition for Rumble...

A new study on how getting sufficient sleep affects caloric intake in a real-world setting could change how we think about weight loss. Overall, individuals who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their caloric intake by an average of 270 kcal per day—which would translate to roughly 12 kg, or 26 lbs., of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. "We saw that after just a single sleep counseling session, participants could change their bedtime habits enough to lead to an increase in sleep duration," said Tasali. "We simply coached each...

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HUNTER.......... The 1980s TV crime drama Hunter featured an eponymous main character who popularized the catchphrase, “Works for me.” Today’s crime drama surrounding Hunter Biden evokes a different repeated utterance: “Who did Hunter work for?” The troubled presidential scion is in the news again and raising questions about his father, President Joe Biden. This unwanted attention has also renewed questions about the media’s relative lack of interest in the younger Biden’s highly questionable business interests during the 2020 presidential election. Last week, Politico reported: “The New York Times is still digging into Hunter Biden’s business...

This finding, reported in the science journal Cell, can’t be good.

Eric Clapton made news when he suggested that people who willingly accepted vaccination had fallen under something called "mass formation hypnosis". "Whatever the memo was, it hadn’t reached me. Then I started to realise there was really a memo, and a guy, Mattias Desmet [professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium], talked about it. And it’s great. The theory of mass formation hypnosis. And I could see it then. Once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it everywhere. I think there's a great argument to be made for Black Lives Matters' "Week of Action."...

I adhere to an American First doctrine. While that does not mean American alone, it certainly entails a prioritization of issues, policies, and efforts that best serve the American people. There are many conservatives who disagree and are far more apt to champion an interventionist stance viewing America as the world’s police. The last two weeks have made it increasingly clear who belongs to which camp. It is my belief the Ukraine crisis should be, fundamentally, a European issue, and we should roundly reject the drumbeat of war, and all that escalation entails. Those who believe otherwise, and champion American...

CHICAGO – It has been mentioned in earlier Rooftop Revelations that a child born today into the South Side of Chicago did not choose to be born into such a violent and impoverished world. But that was the child’s fate. The hope here is that the child will have strong parents or at least one strong parental figure who can provide the guidance to turn that fate into a rags-to-riches story or, at the very least, a rags-to-middle class story. But what about the child who has no one or perhaps was born to children? What hope is there that...

President Joe Biden’s coronavirus policies remain frozen in place as federal health advisers remain unwilling to lift national restrictions. The president largely ignored governors who asked the administration for a path out of the pandemic and restoring some degree of normalcy to the daily life of Americans.

The House select committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol is borrowing techniques from federal prosecutions, employing aggressive tactics typically used against mobsters and terrorists as it seeks to break through stonewalling from former President Donald Trump and his allies and develop evidence that could prompt a criminal case. In what its members see as the best opportunity to hold Trump and his team accountable, the committee — which has no authority to pursue criminal charges — is using what powers it has in expansive ways in hopes of pressuring Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the Justice...

Itemizing ways that America Competes sells out to Chicoms and pushes green crap, explains workings of Congress on fundamental level.

he January jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics has no basis in reality. The bureaucrats simply made up numbers to make it look like the economy added jobs. The economy actually lost about 300,000 jobs in January. ADP and the BLS’s own report admit that. But a 300,000-job loss would hurt Joe Biden. So, the crooked accountants at BLS made up numbers and handed a headline to the ignorant press. Here’s where the BLS comes out and tells us they simply made up numbers to arrive at the headline the White House communications staff wrote for them:

What are the "authorities" so afraid of? Why are Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates considered a threat? The Freedom Convoy has garnered enormous popular support but is condemned by the liberal media and dismissed by Canada’s unpopular Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "small fringe minority." Prodded by Canadian authorities, GoFundMe moved to confiscate and redistribute $10 million raised to support the drivers, prompting such outrage that they pivoted to returning the money to the original donors. A like-minded U.S. group, "Convoy to DC 2022," attracted 130,000 members to its Facebook page before it was taken down by the social...

Europe’s energy crisis has led to a shortage of natural gas supplies, and France could pay the price. French natural gas pipeline operator GRTgaz warned that gas stockpiles are much lower at this point in the year than they have been during years past. France's energy problems have been exacerbated by the lower-than-usual capacity at the country's nuclear power plants. ... The Brits aren't the only European nation to find itself on the verge of a full-blown energy crisis... French natural gas pipeline operator GRTgaz warned that French gas stockpiles are much lower at this point in the year than...

Monday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) delivered a message to his fellow conservatives who still defend and support former President Donald Trump. Kinzinger, a member of the January 6 select committee, said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that if conservatives who don’t stand up and speak out against Trump “are a part of the problem.” He added that their “silence is complicity.”
