Dear Governor Polis, This letter expresses concern regarding the decision to hire Dr. Rebecca Niemiec as the Program Manager of the Colorado Bureau of Animal Protection. As State Representatives, we strongly question the qualifications of Dr. Niemiec, as none of her academic titles show relative experience in the fields of study that are necessary to hold a managerial position within the CBAP. Dr. Niemiec’s background deals with conservation behavior as a behavioral scientist and shows no reputable experience or competence towards the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s mission statement: “The mission of the Department of Agriculture is to strengthen and advance...

Let's play a game. It's called Wargame Exercise - WW3. The game is based on the world around us as of 2/21/2022. Something I have been thinking about is the worlds current posture, militarily, socially, geographically, and politically.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday the U.S. believes Russia is planning an "extremely violent" invasion of Ukraine, saying Moscow will seek to "crush" the Ukrainian people."We believe that any military operation of the size, scope and magnitude of what we believe the Russians are planning will be extremely violent. It will cost the lives of Ukrainians and Russians, civilians and military personnel alike," Sullivan said during an appearance on NBC's "Today.""But we also have intelligence to suggest that there will be an even greater form of brutality because this will not simply be some conventional war...

Former foreign minister of breakaway territory in country's east accuses Kyiv of stirring up provocations, says instigators will be tried like "Nazi collaborators" were. "To end the war we must win it, there are no other options"---this is the conclusion of Alkesandr Kofman, leader of the pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), established in East Ukraine eight years ago. Kofman, who is Jewish, served as the DPR's foreign minister during the last round of fighting in East Ukraine in 2014, and today heads the quasi-state's public bureau. He sat down with Ynet and sister publication Yedioth Ahronoth to...

Dr. Naomi Wolf is a bestselling author, columnist, and professor; she is a graduate of Yale University and received a doctorate from Oxford. She is cofounder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company.Reprinted with permission from NaomiWolf.substack.com. The world has watched, in pain, as images of police violence from Ottawa, and of a bid for Canadian tyranny (that I would ever write those words!) are flashed around the world. As usual, I hate to be Cassandra; but the chessboard ahead is all too clear. On Feb 12, 2022, I warned, during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom, that...

Justin Trudeau unleashed his shock troops on Canadian freedom protesters this past weekend, beating, clubbing, gassing and stomping on innocent Canadians who are protesting his ridiculous COVID policies. (snip) The Islamic Republic New Agency (IRNA) reported:“Peaceful protesters in the so-called Land of the Free are shushed, and guess what? Nobody ever dares to talk about egregious human rights violations taking place on a daily basis in Canada. Well, the critics may have been shushed, too!,” Gharibabadi wrote in his Twitter account on Monday.

MADISON, Wis. — It was a tale of two halves as Wisconsin blew out Michigan Sunday, 77-63. The first half was back-and-forth. Neither team gained an inch, and the score at halftime was tied, 31-31. But Greg Gard’s halftime speech must’ve stirred something, as the Badgers came out of the locker room on fire. A massive scoring run in the first 10 minutes gave the Badgers a double-digit lead, which they held onto to grab the win. That scoring run was driven in large part by Johnny Davis. The man who has been the game-changer for the Badgers changed the...

CANADA—Under orders from the Supreme Chancellor of the People's Republic of Canada Justin Trudeau, all bank ATMs across the provinces will now require anyone attempting to withdraw money from their accounts to take a small quiz on their political beliefs. "Let me be perfectly clear," said Trudeau while standing in a puddle of his own urine. "Those with unacceptable views shouldn't have money. These evil working-class people being allowed to buy things and eat is a threat to public safety and national security. Starting today, all ATMs will screen people for unacceptable views before they can withdraw funds." Questions asked...

Politico argued on Monday that President’s Day should be canceled for including former President Donald Trump in the holiday. In an article titled, “It’s Time To Cancel Presidents Day,” the publication made the case that President’s Day is not woke enough, and that it “does a disservice to history” and “is less a show of genuine respect for American history than an insult to it.”

After a mild end to the weekend for many states, Old Man Winter will make a comeback as we start off the new workweek. “Temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees below average over the northern tier states by Monday morning,” the Weather Prediction Center said Saturday. And that’s just the beginning. The thermometer will slip to 30 to 40 degrees below normal by Tuesday and Wednesday, as a strong high pressure system begins to spread Arctic air farther south and east. Some people voluntarily choose to do a polar plunge, as seen here. This week, many will experience plunging...

Fribourg, February 21, 2022 On Friday, February 4, 2022, two members of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, Fr. Benoît Paul-Joseph, Superior of the District of France, and Fr. Vincent Ribeton, Rector of St. Peter’s Seminary in Wigratzbad, were received in private audience by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, for nearly an hour.

He said that...

The agency has withheld critical data on boosters, hospitalizations and, until recently, wastewater analyses. For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public. When the C.D.C. published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65 two weeks ago, it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group the data showed was least...

Firmly convinced that Russia will invade Ukraine unless he can stop them, President Biden has tasked Vice-President Harris with "soothing the savage breasts of these potential combatants." Biden says he is optimistic for her prospects of success. "She is a woman known for her feminine wiles," he pointed out. "Despite her lack of significant contributions to the public good in all the jobs she's had in the public sector and the unfavorable impression most ordinary people have of her, she has risen to the second-highest job in our government. She also has a very positive endorsement of her skills from...

What might have happened in Ottawa if Donald Trump were President? Might he have applied pressure to the Canadian government, that would have caused it to back down to the protesters? Biden obviously did nothing. It's not even clear that Canada is on the Administration's radar. ML/NJ

The House resolved wrongful termination claims by five Pakistani-American technology workers whose case was twisted into a right-wing conspiracy theory pushed by President Trump. The payments represent one of the largest known awards by the House to resolve discrimination or harassment claims. The House of Representatives quietly paid $850,000 this year to settle wrongful termination claims by five Pakistani-American technology specialists, after a set of routine workplace allegations against them morphed into fodder for right-wing conspiracy theories amplified by President Trump. Together, the payments represent one of the largest known awards by the House to resolve discrimination or harassment claims,...

Speaking at Germany’s annual Munich Security Conference on Friday, globalist billionaire Bill Gates confidently warned the world a new pandemic is coming.CNBC’s Hadley Gamble asked Gates, “How confident are you that we, as a global community, will deal with the next global pandemic better?” “Well, there were a lot of people after the Ebola epidemic who were talking about what needed to be done, and in this pandemic, the countries that had exposure to SARS-CoV-1 were amongst the outliers,” Gates answered.Next, Gates praised Australia’s authoritarian crackdown on its civilians as an example for other nations to follow.“So, Australia is a...

A major eruption on the far side of the sun Tuesday created one of the largest coronal mass ejections (CME) in recent years, KTLA sister station KOIN reports. Though the explosive CME is not expected to strike Earth, images captured by satellite and seismic mapping showing the sheer size of the eruption had many people talking...
