Insults, hypocrisy on steroids and a 'Spidey'-free show stain the fading institutionJimmy Kimmel did something very few comedians accomplished in Oscar history.The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” propagandist hosted the annual gala not once but twice. And while Billy Crystal, Bob Hope and Johnny Carson topped that number, most comics can only dream of doing so even once.Yet the Oscar veteran openly mocked the gala this week shortly after the Academy unleashed its latest round of award nominations.“The biggest snub today in my opinion, and I’m actually even angry about this, I’m kind of embarrassed to say, is the unforgivable omission of...

We see no awareness of how inflation builds from the supply chain — that when a producer has higher input costs for raw goods, he needs to pass on his costs to the next guy down the line buying it — the factory, the retailer, the broker — and those guys need to pass that higher cost onto the next guy, the wholesaler, the consumer, and so on. The guy at the end of it, the consumer, is the one who gets burned, since he has no one to pass it on to. That explains why inflation is all over...

President Joe Biden's administration has urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to use its federal powers to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to protest Canada's COVID-19 restrictions.

U.S. officials have offered to help the Trudeau government end an anti-vaccine mandate protest blockade that is sending ripple effects through the American economy and causing increasing concern in Washington. The White House says U.S. officials had multiple conversations on Thursday with their Canadian counterparts about the blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a major trade artery which connects Windsor, Ont. with Detroit. The White House said Thursday the U.S. federal cabinet and senior administration staff are now seized with this issue. "[They] have been engaged around the clock to bring this to a swift end," the White House said in...

Bruce Thornton is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. While we try to figure out Russia’s intentions for Ukraine, Iran is getting closer to a deal that will leave it a nuclear power. Discussions in Vienna are back on, and hopeful dispatches are sent out by Western diplomats. But given Iran’s maximalist demands, and the Biden administration’s fetish of “diplomatic engagement,” things aren’t looking good for the region’s stability. Ever since Biden rejoined the talks to restart the deal Trump wisely walked away from, Iran has shown patent contempt for this country and its diplomats. Meanwhile,...

Elder of Ziyon has taken note of a recent article in “the most influential newspaper in the Arab world” that calls into question the real Holocaust – the murder of six million Jews – and instead, claims that the “worst calamity” of the 20th century was the “Palestinian Holocaust.” His article can be found here: “‘Most Influential Arab Newspaper’ says ‘Palestinian Holocaust’ worse than …The Holocaust,” Elder of Ziyon, January 30, 2022:Ad Dustour is a pro-government Jordanian newspaper that was declared as the most influential newspaper in the Arab world in Industry Arabic’s latest rankings.

Well, it has been a cringe-worthy year+ under President Biden. West Texas Intermediate Crude futures price is up 91% and the Commodity Research Bureau Foodstuffs index is up 47%. Talk about Biden’s energy folicies being passed through to American households in the form of higher food costs and energy prices! And then we have mortgage rates. Bankrate’s 30Y mortgage rate is up to almost 4%, up 39% since the beginning of 2021. Other central banks are raising rates like banshees on the moor, while The Federal Reserve continues to send conflicting signals about possible March rate hikes. Goldman Sachs sees...

The Week Canada Liberated the United States – perhaps that’s a bit of hyperbole at this juncture, but I pray it comes to fruition. With so much of the Western world led by puppet governments we are doomed if the people don’t take it back** from the mini-tyrants being led by the nose by Tyrants with a capital T. Let’s not be ruled by the weenie liars-in-chief. “Power to the People” as the Leftists once smugly demanded. So even if you’ve already seen this grand video mocking Castrudeu’s speech vilifying the #TruckersForFreedom watch it again this fine Friday. It encapsulates...

Whether you love them or loath them, it costs just $5 and comes with a personalized e-card. ”A lot of people will send them to their friends as a joke like this your exes name now, named after a cockroach and a lot of...

Russia is massing yet more troops near Ukraine and an invasion could come at any time, perhaps before the end of this month's Winter Olympics, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday. In his starkest warning yet to Americans in Ukraine to get out, U.S. President Joe Biden said he would not send troops to rescue U.S. citizens in the event of a Russian assault. "Things could go crazy quickly," Biden told NBC News, as he urged U.S. citizens in Ukraine to leave the country immediately.

Here, we report the case of a man living with HIV who, having previously achieved stable viral suppression, experienced a transient period of non-suppressible viremia after receiving a dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The patient, a 65-year-old heterosexual male, was diagnosed with HIV infection in March 2020, during a diagnostic workup for chronic liver disease due to former alcohol abuse. In April 2021, the patient, by then suppressed for more than 6 months, with a negative clinical history and negative anti-N antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, received the first dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine (Moderna Biotech) in the context of the Italian vaccination campaign....

These kids at a Las Vegas elementary school were just told they don’t have to wear masks anymore (VIDEO AT LINK)

In a bizarre display of aggression, Ontario Police have begun tracking down people who show their support for the Freedom Convoy 2022 on the popular online platform, Facebook. Groups on Facebook in support of the protest consist of hundreds of thousands of people. There's no telling what the resources involved in this kind of campaign will cost the tax payers of Ontario. You can watch the very short video at the link.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK -- Health authorities in Denmark said Friday that they were considering "winding down" the country's coronavirus vaccination program in the spring and see no reason now to administer a booster dose to children or a fourth shot to anymore residents at risk of severe COVID-19. The Danish Health Authority said in a statement outlining its reasoning that the third infection wave in the European nation was waning "due to the large population immunity." "The very high vaccine coverage in Denmark, especially with the third shot, means that we can cope with increasing infection without getting serious illness," the...

As the public learned this week about Donald Trump “improperly removing” White House documents, the former president’s aides characterized the records as largely trivial. The Republican’s team told The Washington Post that the items that found their way to Mar-a-Lago “included correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which Trump once described as ‘love letters,’ as well as a letter left for Trump by President Barack Obama.” The explanation wasn’t especially credible at the time, and soon after, it started unraveling. For one thing, the controversy wasn’t about a handful of records; it was about 15 boxes filled with...

Written by Senator Rand PaulAccording to tradition, King Menes united the two lands of Egypt about 5,000 years ago. Although Egypt appears as a single state on the globe today, American foreign policy still treats the country as though it was two completely different lands; one a critical ally deserving of American aid, and one a tyrannical nightmare unworthy of American security assistance. A State Department human rights report details how President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi converted a country into a prison. Among other horrors, Egyptian security forces engage in extrajudicial killings, torture, as well as harsh crackdowns on anyone who...

UTICA, Mich. – A video that shows an altercation between a Utica detective and two men has gone viral since it was posted Wednesday (Feb. 9) night. These guys call themselves auditors, who have filmed videos in public places all over Michigan, and they say they aren’t after confrontations with police, but in this case, they got a big one. It all began with another driver upset about two men filming with their cameras, so he called Utica police. Those two men are with Fricn Media, a group of self-proclaimed auditors of police behavior that makes no secret about being...

UPDATE: GiveSendGo Responds: Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign. — GiveSendGo (@GiveSendGo) February 11, 2022 Ontario Premier Doug Ford has gone to court to freeze all of the GiveSendGo crowdfunding donations raised for the Freedom Convoy truckers. The current GiveSendGo fundraiser sits at $8.4 million US. There is a lot of legal complexity here, and it is not clear the Ontario court has any jurisdiction let...
