It’s Presidents’ Day in the USA, which doesn’t mean much anymore other than your USPS mail will be later than normal. Our current president is busy saber-rattling about securing the sovereign borders of other countries while our own remain as porous as a crocheted face mask. “Our position is very clear in respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states.” (except ours) Meanwhile in Canada, the man Rolling Stone pined for and wished could be our president has characterized the most polite government protestors in history as terrorists and white supremacists. He deployed riot police to break it up,...

What if there were a fire in a liberal democracy scorching human rights and civil liberties? What if that fire was in several liberal democracies and spreading fast? The people are loudly screaming "fire!," but their leaders are curiously silent. The implementation of emergency war powers in Canada to suspend rights is either a temporary overreach of power or a blatant authoritarian shape-shift to crush political dissent, seize assets, and implement martial law on completely fabricated charges. The majority of people in the U.S. and Canada are seeing the totalitarian shape-shift and loudly screaming "fire!" but there are no Western...

A George Washington University pilot program 'used locational data tracked by Wi-Fi access points' to map student and employee movements on campus. The university failed to inform the students and staff about the now-ended program. The George Washington University's president publicly apologized Friday for a fall 2021 surveillance pilot program that tracked students' and employees' locations on campus without their consent. "I write to inform you of a data analytics pilot program that took place on the university campus during the Fall 2021 semester, and to apologize on behalf of the university for the failure to inform you in advance...

First gas, then heating and now rents. Runaway inflation is driving rents skywards across Joe Biden’s America, delivering an average of a 20 percent increase in the U.S.’s biggest 50 cities over the past 12 months, a study details. At the same time, U.S. Census Bureau statistics show rental vacancy rates during the fourth quarter of 2021 fell to 5.6 percent, the lowest since 1984 in the the world’s largest economy.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced in a statement late Sunday that President Joe Biden “accepted in principle a meeting” with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a week after Biden completely ignored a personal invitation to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Putin meeting, Psaki claimed, would occur “if an invasion hasn’t happened.”

The Federal Reserve and Federal government are helping make housing simply unaffordable! In January 2020, just prior to the COVID outbreak in the US, the Case-Shiller national home price index was growing at 4% YoY, the Zilliow rent index (all homes) was growing at 2.92% YoY and REAL average hourly earnings were growing at 0.52% YoY. Then COVID struck and the Federal government dumped trillions of dollars of stimulus into the economy and The Federal Reserve massively expanded its balance sheet. Now the US has home prices growing at a 18.8% rate, rents (for those who can’t afford to purchase...

As “cancel culture” has swept through this country, our leaders, government officials, teachers, college professors, and even reporters are jumping on the bandwagon by tempering their words to avoid conflict. Op-ed writer Alan Bergstein, whose words can be harsh, really harsh, is not drinking the ‘Cancel Culture Kool-Aid.’ His brutal honesty is necessary for today’s political climate and crucial for us to survive as a free people. In his own words: “Let’s get right to the point: The two top elected leaders of this country constitute a clear and present danger to our survival.”

One’s decision not to vaccinate is “child abuse” according to a recent Salon piece that accused conservatives of using children as “pawns in their gross political games,” viewing them as property, and damaging their “mental and emotional health” while “tearing families apart,” largely in order to undermine President Biden. Penned by senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte and titled “Vaccine refusal is child abuse,” the Friday Salon essay begins by accusing Republicans of opposing vaccination against the coronavirus in order to “sabotage” the Biden presidency.

When was the last time you were stuck in an elevator due to a power blackout? Or patients at your local hospital were put at risk for the same reason? These are very common occurrences in the energy impoverished Third World. And they could become a reality for many in the West if deluded leaders there continue down the path of “green-energy” decarbonization. A rare inconvenience usually associated with bad weather in the West, power blackouts are everyday events in the East. In my southern India hometown, I recently had to climb the stairs of a multi-story apartment not once...

Norway’s easternmost Arctic community of Vardø has long been home to surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations so important to NATO, especially now during its ongoing conflict with Russia. Vardø, like other areas of Northern Norway, has grown used to the presence of hush-hush facilities and their personnel amongst them, but now a local conflict has arisen over wind power. Such conflicts are nothing new. While the vast majority of Norwegians are in favour of more investment in renewable energy, as opposed to oil, few want towering turbines in their own backyard. That’s what seems to set Vardø apart: Residents long used...

It’s hard not to discuss the state of roads and bridges in the United States after we heard of last month’s collapse of a bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.It is sad and ironic that on the same day the bridge collapsed, resident Joe Biden traveled to Pittsburgh to tout the implementation of his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which only allocates $110 billion (9.17 percent) for what would be considered traditional infrastructure, U.S. roads, bridges and related projects.The Wall Street Journal recently estimated 43,000 bridges in the United States are in need of repair at an estimated cost well above the $40...

Five people were stabbed in separate incidents in New York City subway stations this weekend since officials on Friday vowed to combat crime and address homelessness in the city's transit system as part of a new public safety initiative, according to the New York Police Department. No arrests have been made in connection to any of the incidents, and all five victims are in stable condition, a NYPD spokesperson told CNN on Sunday.

Ambassadors usually do not have to announce they are against suicide bombers. But for one Biden nominee, it turned out to be necessary. In 2006, Amy Gutmann was the president of the University of Pennsylvania. During a Halloween party in her home, she posed for a photo with a student who was dressed as a terrorist. The picture resurfaced after Gutmann was approved by the Senate on Feb. 8 to be President Joe Biden’s ambassador to Germany. According to a Jerusalem Post article from 2006, Gutmann only issued an apology after days of growing controversy over the costume worn by...

The left has been speaking up lately about protecting our “democracy,” which seems unusual since usually they never talk proudly about the U.S., they just bash it and talk about moving to some whiter country instead. They almost sound patriotic. But nope, it’s just smoke and mirrors, which both allosw them to fool people into thinking the left cares about the country and to sneak in their radical agenda. Despite the fact the Founding Fathers were genius enough to create a Constitution that has lasted almost 250 years, arguably the longest in the world today providing the freest country, the...
