Creating the most buzz with your Super Bowl ad isn't easy. Brands and companies try a lot of different things to capture the attention of their audience during the most high-profile advertising event of the year. Advertisers pull out all of the stops, hoping to get people talking. Sure, there's a football game happening, but, let's be honest, most people stick around for the ads. This year, the most-talked-about ad was a simple QR code that changed color as it bounced around the screen for 30 seconds. The ad was for Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, and when you scanned the...

In the most consequential appointment since the Roman emperor Caligula made his horse Incitatus a senator, Old Joe Biden’s handlers have appointed one Sam Brinton (“they/them”) to be the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy. But in our American version of late imperial decadence, Brinton is not a horse, but a dog: Brinton is also involved in “puppy play,” which apparently involves grown men putting on dog masks and behaving like animals for sexual kicks. Some people think Caligula was playing an elaborate practical joke...

21 Can you feel the love?

A pack of wolves on the ice at Voyageurs National Park. A wolf just south of the park recently walked within 5 feet of a group of snowmobiles showing no signs of fear.Courtesy of Voyageurs Wolf Project file Share A wolf spotted close to Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota recently walked within 5 feet of a group of snowmobiles showing no signs of fear — behavior that’s “extremely abnormal,” researchers said Wednesday. “The wolf seemed unalarmed, did not appear to exhibit fear of people or the snowmobiles, and just sauntered/lingered in the area,” researchers with the Voyageurs Wolf Project...

MISSOULA, Mont. — A new study at University of Montana shows Yellowstone wolves change their behavior around bears. Biologists wanted to know more about how predators interact with each other. Research shows wolves hunt less when competing with bears but mountain lions hunt more. UM released the following on Feb. 4: If you are a wolf living in Yellowstone National Park, bears mess with you. They show up uninvited and steal kills from your pack. And when scavenging bears drive you away from tasty carcasses, you and your fellow wolves will – strangely enough – kill less often. The reasons...

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) issued several dispersal orders and an unlawful assembly after the LA Rams took home a triumphant win in the Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, as “large, violent and destructive” crowds became uncontrollable in the heart of downtown, according to the LAPD. “There are a group of individuals that have refused to leave since the first dispersal orders were given,” LAPD spokeswoman Meghan Aguilar told The Epoch Times at approximately 11:25 p.m. “At this time we’re just trying to disperse the crowd and arrest anyone that committed criminal acts tonight.” LAPD first issued a...

Call this “The running of the Bull(ard)s mouth.” Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said he supports raising interest rates by a full percentage point by the start of July — including the first half-point hike since 2000 — in response to the hottest inflation in four decades. “I’d like to see 100 basis points in the bag by July 1,” Bullard, a voter on monetary policy this year, said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Thursday. “I was already more hawkish but I have pulled up dramatically what I think the committee should do.” Bullard’s...

George Prescott Bush was just sixteen when he first took the political world by storm. The year was 1992, the setting the Republican National Convention at the Astrodome in Houston, where his grandfather would be nominated for reelection as president. On the third day of the convention, Barbara Bush, looking matriarchal and resplendent in a pearl necklace, invited her clan on stage, “all twenty-two of them.” There was P.’s uncle George W. Bush. His dad, Jeb, and his mom, Columba, who had met in her native Mexico when they were still in their teens. And a lot of young grandchildren,...

Would Vice President Kamala Harris show the same commitment to the Constitutional as former Vice President Mike Pence? We might find out. Most of the media buzz around former Vice President Mike Pence’s speech to the Federalist Society revolved around him saying, “President Trump is wrong.” He added, “Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election. And Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024.”

A vignette to appreciate how eagerly Covid and sinister possibilities have been embraced by the upper reaches of our power structure. The Covid virus has been used as an excuse to re-order society and permanently concentrate power in the hands of a small elite. You don’t have to wade through the 280 pages of The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret of the World Economic Forum to appreciate how eagerly Covid and its sinister possibilities have been embraced by the upper reaches of our power structure. I recently received a telling email from the current President of the...

Fact-checkers keep assuring Americans that President Biden doesn't want to ban guns, but simply wants "reasonable" gun regulations. Yet judging by the president's rhetoric, Biden either doesn't know much about guns (a concerning possibility given his constant push for more regulations) or is calling for a complete ban on the vast majority of guns sold in the U.S. Just last Thursday, when Biden spoke in New York City about combatting gun crime—not the 92 percent of violent crime that has nothing to do with guns—he focused on handguns. A "Glock with 40 rounds—a magazine with 40 rounds. And it's really...
