HELSINKI (AP) – Norway says it is lifting almost all remaining COVID restrictions as it doesn´t see a major health threat to citizens any more, even though the omicron variant is still spreading in the Nordic nation. “This is the day we have been waiting for,” said Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere during a news conference in Oslo on Saturday. “We are removing almost all coronavirus measures.”

Truckers protesting vaccine mandates in Canada remained defiant overnight Friday in the face of a court order and an emergency declaration telling them to leave the Ambassador Bride connecting Ontario to Michigan. Around 100 protesters remained early Saturday after law enforcement failed to take action, according to CBC News. "Do you think I care? Do you think I care about a fine?" one protester said. "I'm going to pay a fine? No. You think I care about their mandates? No. This needs to end."

Democratic State Rep. Lee Snodgrass of Wisconsin was forced to apologize Thursday after writing on social media that parents who want to have control over their children's education need to home school them on their own dime. "If parents want to 'have a say' in their child's education, they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their family budget," the legislator tweeted on Thursday. Snodgrass is the second vice chair of the state's Democratic Party. Within hours, Snodgrass was beset by an avalanche of criticism. The tweet was quickly deleted and is no longer available. The...

The atmosphere in Canada's capital Friday seems to be almost festival-like. People from all over Ontario can be witnessed dancing in the streets and offering each other food, water, and other necessities to keep the protest efforts going. However, the sporadic police presence—moving in groups of 15 to 20—around the downtown core in the hours after Premier Doug Ford declared a province-wide state of emergency, has created an eerie overtone as many are concerned a volatile situation could erupt into chaos. What follows are some thoughts from various people impacted by the protest. On one side are those who believe...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refused to provide evidence to support its claims that COVID-19 “misinformation” and “false or misleading narratives” inspired violent terrorism during 2021. DHS issued a terrorism advisory bulletin Monday warning that of the dangers of online misinformation, which the agency said has been exploited by “threat actors” and to inspire acts of terrorism. “The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic...

A key federal agency on Feb. 10 changed its mission statement, removing several key phrases. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) “upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve,” the new mission statement says. Under the old statement, the agency was described as “administer[ing] the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.” USCIS, with approximately 19,000 employees, oversees legal immigration to the United States.

The Biden administration continues to make bizarre recruiting decisions for top government jobs on the basis of toxic identity politics. A recent addition to President Joe Biden’s motley crew of dubious hires is drag queen Sam Brinton, who was tapped last month as the “Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy.” Rather than touting his qualifications for the job, Brinton — who lists his pronouns as “they”/”them” — bragged on Twitter about his unique status as the “first gender fluid person in federal government leadership.” In a...

I thought the last inflation report of 7.5% inflation was bad. But then the Atlanta Fed updated their inflation measure for flexible prices. Flexible inflation, less food and energy, is roaring at 19% YoY! Flexible prices are those prices that adjust rapidly. Speaking of rapid rises, take a look at the 2-year US Treasury yield since COVID struck in early 2020. We did see 2-year Treasury yields generally correlated with The Fed Funds Target Rate … at least until COVID struck. Since mid-2020, The Fed Funds Target Rate remains at 0.25% while the 2-year Treasury yield is roaring back with...

The Department of Homeland Security is 'surging additional staff' to California ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, in a bid to stop disruptions from potential trucker protests against COVID-19 vaccinations - mirroring the ones currently taking place in Canada.

Students in Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine (HOOP) are demanding that the Mediterranean spread made by Sabra be taken out of dining halls because of ties to the Israel Defense Forces. This is merely one — albeit the creamiest — of many instances of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)-style protests against Israel on college campuses across the country. The Harvard Crimson reported that on Tuesday, students gathered in Harvard Yard holding signs that say “Why does your hummus taste like apartheid?” and chanting “Don’t buy products laced with hate, Sabra funds a racist state.” Stickers on Sabra snack cups in...

Brave parents who have risen to protect their children's education are ultimately protecting all Americans' freedom. Critical social justice’s (CSJ) march through America’s institutions is very nearly complete. CSJ, and its woke evangelists, easily penetrated and commandeered U.S. colleges and universities. Even White House occupant Joe Biden speaks incessantly about “white supremacy.” The Department of Homeland Security tells us white domestic terrorism is the top threat to America. Not to be left out, corporate America has proclaimed its total fealty to woke ideology. Leaked documents show companies like Coke imploring their employees to “be less white.” Raytheon—whose laser-guided bombs are...

..."I've always been reminded by my supervisors, 'Please question unsafe orders. Ask us questions if you think the orders are unlawful.' And that's what I think our job is. Thank you truckers for standing up for all of us," Golysheva said in the video.

VIDEO UnCommon Core: The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine Crisis John J. Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in Political Science and Co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, assesses the causes of the present Ukraine crisis, the best way to end it, and its consequences for all of the main actors. A key assumption is that in order to come up with the optimum plan for ending the crisis, it is essential to know what caused the crisis. Regarding the all-important question of causes, the key issue is whether Russia...

The Canadian truck protest is the most wonderful spectacle of resistance and ungovernability I’ve seen in a long time. In general this was the week when the Branch COVIDians set themselves on fire, baking PM True-Dough into a crisp. Has he thought of passing out free crack pipes?

Republican leaders should vow to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and commence a clean sweep of the swamp’s pro-government extremists. Though alarming and depressing, we can no longer avoid recognizing that America’s greatest domestic threat is from pro-government extremists. We rue that pro-government extremists caused immense destruction during their less-than-“peaceful protests” in 2020; and we witness the continuing damage caused by their neurotic, totalitarian response to a plethora of problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.. Indeed, what makes the pro-government extremists so dangerous is their far greater numbers than their anti-government extremist counterparts. Their noxious ideology that the citizen...

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Tuesday Democrats need to “communicate a clear off-ramp” to people before November’s elections. Several blue states with Democratic officials, including Delaware, Connecticut, and New Jersey, have recently announced plans to end universal school mask mandates and have eased some of the mitigation efforts adopted to reduce the spread of the virus as cases dipped after the surge of the omicron variant. In response to a question about whether Democrats should embrace the idea that it’s time to move on from some of the public health measures adopted...

The Senate Judiciary Committee made an odd move out of the gate this year, passing an enormously consequential antitrust bill aimed at a handful of the biggest U.S. tech companies in spite of bipartisan agreement that the bill isn’t ready for primetime. Not only will this bill fail to help consumers by “reining in Big Tech,” but it could also hurt them by detracting from U.S. global competitiveness. Concerns that the legislation, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), S. 2992, might threaten U.S. global tech leadership came from as ideologically diverse a crop of lawmakers as Senators Coons...
