"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." [YouTube.com]

In a video from Ottawa, a broadcaster stares at the camera in silence as protesters surround him and scream expletives, calling him a liar and bellowing "freedom." Near the U.S. border in Surrey, B.C., a cameraman's equipment is shoved off his shoulder and two men spit on him. A demonstrator follows another journalist closely, yelling that he is a "disgusting, filthy human being," while police escort the reporter through a jeering crowd. Experts and advocates say the treatment of journalists, captured in many cases on video, during recent protests against public health measures should be a wake-up call.

With no public announcements, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) both are studying neurological problems that have appeared in people after receiving the Covid vaccines. In a scoop, Zachary Stieber of the Epoch Times has confirmed via emails that the studies are underway.

Remember President Clinton? I remember that, after he left office, he regretted that he'd never be ranked among the top presidents because he didn't have a war on his watch. Kosovo need not apply. There's a "tell" here, of course. It is that the leader of a country is not there to hand out goodies in the latest ruling-class enthusiasm for spending other people's money. It is to keep a sharp eye out for enemies. And if an enemy shows up on his watch, he should stick a fork in it. There's a reason why heads of state like the...

Are you "white"? If you go to the paint store and ask for white paint, does the paint match your skin color? If you put your arm against a white appliance, does it look the same? If you are naked in a snowstorm, do you become completely camouflaged? If you put your hand in a copy machine does a blank page come out? No it doesn't, because you aren't white, you are more of a harvest peach. Does that make you "Caucasian"? The word is based off the Caucasus Mountains which basically form the border between Georgia and Russia. I'm...

It has come to this. As George Orwell knew it could. Freedom is fascist. Freedom is slavery. Taylor Dysart, a doctoral candidate at Penn, authored a column in which she claimed that the Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy “has surprised onlookers in the United States and Canada,” in large part “because the action seems to violate norms of Canadian ‘politeness.’“ She then opined, “But the convoy represents the extension of a strain of Canadian history that has long masked itself behind ‘peacefulness’ or ‘unity’: settler colonialism.” Huh? Sadly, she wasn’t done. She stated, “The history of Canadian settler colonialism and public...

Rock group Aerosmith released a song in 1987 entitled, “Dude looks like a lady” about a man with an effeminate appearance who could be mistaken for a woman. Today the inverse is playing out in the athletic world, where a lady who looks like a dude -- a male who has transitioned to a female as much as basic biology permits -- is making a mockery of women’s sports. I speak of Lia Thomas, a transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer who last week, “Dominates 200 yard freestyle at Ivy League swimming championships and sets a new tournament record.” But Lia...

Mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety aren't easy to treat. Medications help many but have a high failure rate and may bring nasty side effects. Talk therapy is time-consuming and expensive. And neither approach is suited to preventing the disorders from developing in the first place. But many people overlook another option that, when it works, can be one of the most effective, least disruptive and cheapest ways of managing mental health disorders: exercise. It's hardly news that exercise is good for your physical health, and has long been extolled as beneficial for mental health, as well. But...

Apparently, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is trying to force all 159 counties of Georgia into a one-year “maintenance program” to use the same infamous electronic voting system vendor that was used in the 2020 election. If these counties sign up for this program, they will essentially be trapped into using the same machines again in 2022. That’s right: Brad Raffensperger is trying to bluff Georgia’s county election officials into using the same electronic voting machines that made the 2020 election such an international scandal! It’s up to the local counties to decline to use these electronic voting machines...

"The difference of this fourth industrial revolution is, it doesn't change what you are doing, it changes you, if you take a genetic editing, just as an example, it's you who are changed, and of course this has a big impact on your identity." — Klaus Schwab w/ Charlie Rose (2015) https://twitter.com/GregoryBedaux/status/1431271314925424649
