    Singapore is known for being one of the world's most highly urbanised countries, with no lack of gleaming skyscrapers and luxury apartments. But for one man, that couldn't be further from the place he called home - a makeshift shelter in one of the country's forests. On meeting Oh Go Seng the first thing that strikes you is the glint in his eye. He wears his 79 years very lightly, looking in far better shape than many people half his age. His brother however, did get a government flat and Mr Oh was invited to live there - but he...
  • CDC quietly lowers the bar for early childhood speech

    This is a story that first surfaced earlier in the week but hasn’t gained a lot of traction yet. (This is perhaps understandable given the situation in Ukraine, but also likely by intention.) For the first time in decades, the CDC has changed many of the recognized milestones for childhood development in terms of speech and cognitive functions. These markers are considered important in terms of recognizing when children aren’t progressing quickly enough, suggesting the potential need to determine if some sort of impairment is being observed and if the child may require greater medical attention. The curious thing about...

    Australian authorities said they plan to reopen the country's borders to international tourists on Monday after closing it for nearly two years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Reuters reported. Since November, Australia has allowed citizens and residents to travel in and out of the country, then admitted international students and some employees. On Monday, leisure and business travelers will be able to enter the country, according to Reuters.

    A “highly pathogenic” bird flu is expanding across the U.S. as the latest infections were detected in a non-commercial backyard flock (non-poultry) in Suffolk County, New York, according to a statement released by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

    It’s been well established that companies that exploit gender stereotypes to prey on women’s self-doubt are harmful to society. But the lawsuit filed by families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting against gun manufacturer Remington might help to show how men are just as vulnerable to damaging gender ideals. The case sets a novel and remarkable precedent for gun manufacturers to be held liable for expressly preying on men’s specific vulnerabilities.The Remington settlement marks the first time a gunmaker has been held accountable for its product’s role in a mass murder in the U.S. Gun companies...

    United Kingdom will reportedly seek to strike a swath of trade agreements 'with individual American states' in order to boost commerce while the Biden administration drags its feet on a post-Brexit deal between the two countries. During his first White House meeting with President Biden, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was told that the Democrat administration would not commit to signing a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain before the 2024 election....Biden reportedly told Johson that he had “a lot of fish to fry” and therefore a trade deal was not a top priority. In stark contrast to Trump, Biden has consistently...

    Romanian Member of European Parliament Cristian Terhes lambasted Canadian Prime Minister Coward Justin Trudeau over his authoritarian response to the Freedom Convoy, calling him a “tyrant” and a “dictator.” During an EU press conference in Strasbourg last week, Terhes denounced Trudeau for his declaration of martial in Canada to crush the protesters who’ve been occupying Ottawa for weeks. “The prime minister of Canada, the way he’s behaving right now, he’s exactly like a tyrant, a dictator. He’s like Ceaușescu in Romania,” Terhes said, referring to the former Romanian communist dictator. Romanian MEP @CristianTerhes absolutely mops the floor with PM @JustinTrudeau...

    This past November, Missouri's conservative Defense of Liberty PAC scheduled a high-profile event featuring a speech by Donald Trump, Jr. On November 9, however, WePay—a JPMorgan Chase subsidiary that provided the payment services for the event—announced the termination of those services. WePay accused the organization of violating its policy against promotion of "hate, violence, racial intolerance, terrorism, the financial exploitation of a crime, or items or activities that encourage, promote facilitate or instruct others regarding the same." Although WePay eventually reversed its decision, the organization had to cancel the speech. WePay's actions followed a series of similar incidents in recent...

    On Friday, the streets of Ottawa were a surreal scene that was more appropriate for a dystopian science fiction movie or a third-world totalitarian hellhole than the capital city of a so-called western liberal “democracy” that shares a common border with the United States of America. In a display of raw force that will live in infamy when historians recount the modern era of the proud nation of Canada which has been transformed into an oppressive police state under the helm of leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, an overwhelming number of heavily-armed, militarized police acted to crush peaceful patriotic protesters...

    Secret discussions are under way between western allies over how to arm what they expect to be fierce Ukrainian resistance in the event of a Russian invasion that topples the Kyiv government. ... Similar discussions have been taking place in the US, where reports suggest the country’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, has told senators that the US is willing to arm a resistance and is not going to accept a Russian military victory that erases the principles of national self-determination.

    Let’s call it what it is upfront. The Democrats’ plan for universal mail-in voting without identification is a ploy to establish permanent rule for the left across the nation. They will do this the same way they stole the 2020 election: By cheating. Senator Rand Paul is far more diplomatic than I am. He made his case against the Democrats by highlighting logical points during an interview Sunday morning: “One side, now though, wants to have everybody vote by mail without an ID,” he said. “I think that’s a problem. And they want to have it done out of Washington....

    The National Institutes of Health and their evil leaders like Anthony Fauci were directly involved with the development of Covid-19. There is absolutely no other explanation for the organization’s fake “fulfillment” of a Freedom of Information Act release to The Intercept last week. They were obligated to release documents from a 2020 request that detailed what they know about the origins of the Wuhan Flu. Their latest release of 314 pages is an insult to the American people and a clear admission of direct involvement in creating Covid-19. I’m not basing that on what was said in the documents. I’m...
