Locations of the Freedom Convoy donors in Ontario, Canada, have been published on Google Maps after names of those who gave money to the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo were leaked online. The Google link contains thousands of pins pointing to locations of donors, each pin listing their names, donor ID, email address, and the amount they donated, including those as low as $10. Who published the donors and how the list was obtained from GiveSendGo still remains unknown. Last week, the Christian crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo had its data reportedly hacked to reveal the names of donors supporting the truckers protesting the...

Today, I will be arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Arizona’s right to defend the Public Charge Rule, which requires noncitizens to financially support themselves in order to become U.S. citizens or to obtain green cards. This rule is necessary to avoid an unfair drain on welfare and public assistance programs throughout the states. Just as I argued Brnovich v. DNC last year to uphold Arizona’s commonsense election integrity measures, this case is about preserving a long-held cornerstone of responsible and sustainable immigration policy for the United States. The Public Charge Rule has existed in some form for...

Three events that followed the recent World Holocaust Remembrance Day illustrate how utterly “unlearned” the lesson of the Holocaust actually remains. ...Yet within less than two weeks, three events illustrated just how little the “lesson of the Holocaust” has been learned. Notably, the media coverage of each was inversely proportional to its importance. Event #1: Comedian Whoopi Goldberg’s foolish denial that the Holocaust involved race-based hatred: “Let's be truthful about it. Because the Holocaust isn't about race. No . . . these are two white groups of people!” Calls for Goldberg’s firing fueled a media feeding frenzy. And Whoopi was...

A new report from Pew Research shows that the sharpest drop in approval for resident Joe Biden is among the Democratic Party's most loyal and consistent supporters -- Black protestants. In March 2021, shortly after he took office, Biden's support among Black protestants stood at 92%. By January 2022, this was down to 65%, a drop of 27 points. Over the same period, overall national approval for the president, per Gallup, was down from 54% to 40% -- 14 points. About half the drop among Black protestants. Other polls among all Black voters tell the same story. An NBC poll...

MSNBC intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance said Tuesday on “The Beat” that former President Donald Trump is will be “responsible” in part for the bloody consequences of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to annex a portion of Ukraine. Nance said, “Dictators are going to talk like dictators. Game knows game. Donald Trump, in this particular circumstance, look, he’s an autocrat. I said that when he became president. Putin’s strategy is to create an axis of autocrats, and Trump was the American wing, which was supposed to reposition the United States and was going to allow Europe to become an area of...

A social media platform linked to Donald Trump appeared on the Apple app store in time for Presidents’ Day, though its debut so far has fallen short of making the internet great again for the former president’s followers. Several users who tried signing up for the platform called Truth Social got error notices or were put on lengthy wait lists. Numerous attempts to register on TruthSocial.com were met with a “405 Not Allowed” message. Former President Donald Trump's new social media app started a gradual rollout late Monday. The MAGA alternative to Twitter — which booted Trump from its platform...

These days, the news is dominated by reporting on the Russian threat to Ukraine, by increasing fatigue with COVID restrictions across the United States and by the continuing rise of inflation. All of those are indeed newsworthy, but another newsworthy subject -- the mess on the U.S.-Mexico border -- is receiving relatively little attention. Now, there's new word it's getting worse. Much worse. Fox News has obtained new figures that show border authorities encountered 153,941 illegal border-crossers in January. That is almost double the number from one year ago, in January 2021, when authorities encountered 78,414 crossers. And that 2021...

Canada just demonstrated that, in a technologically sophisticated Western country, it’s very easy to become a dictator. And then, once you’re a dictator, it’s even easier to pretend you’re not, as was the case with Canadian dictator Justin Trudeau’s condemnation of Russian authoritarianism. Apparently, it takes one to know one. A few years ago, Justin Trudeau was a laughable lefty who managed to become Prime Minister of Canada both because of his lineage (putative dad, Pierre, was once Prime Minister too) and because leftist Canadians were in love with the idea of a hip, totally woke leader. Two years ago,...

It is too early to say yet how future historians will view the present moment in history. But as we are learning about the true costs of the pandemic lockdowns—and also learning how negligible have been the benefits—it’s not unlikely that these historians will view the lockdowns as a massive exercise of violence by so-called liberal democratic states on their people. This view is in keeping with the German sociologist Max Weber’s contention years ago that one of the characteristics of the modern state is that it reserves for itself and jealously guards a monopoly on violence. Weber’s basic idea...

Because of the egocentrism and megalomania of the current ruling class, our country is inexorably and stealthily marching toward a tyrannical one-party socialist oligarchy beholden to a globalist agenda. These elites, in their determination to achieve political and societal status in perpetuity, are willingly allied with the relatively small number of true believers in their midst whose sole focus is to transform America into another failed socialist nation. In a major step toward accomplishing that goal, the ruling class in both Canada and the United States have calculatingly acquiesced to these ideologues maliciously exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic in order to...

For the 32nd Saturday in a row, Parisians took to the streets to demand the end of COVID restrictions & vaccine passports. Except, this time, the police joined the protesters. Take a look. 1:38 total.

Russia keeps actively fabricating and promoting fake news reports, organizing false-flag provocations to justify the Kremlin’s decision to openly invade Ukraine with military force, mainly for the domestic audience and, secondly, for the international community. International volunteer community InformNapalm, undertook an open-source (OSINT) investigation of the incident that had taken place on February 19, 2022. Russia’s Investigative Committee initiated criminal proceedings as a result of this incident. InformNapalm volunteers determined the exact coordinates of the multiple rocket launcher (MRL) used to shell a border area in Rostov Oblast of Russia. Rockets were found to have been launched at 4.00 AM...

As France follows suit and begins to ease some Covid restrictions, one thing they look to continue to implement is the vaccine passport which would force people to show proof of vax before participating in society. So, the mask mandates are disappearing, but, according to reports out of France, the rules for the vax are only tightening. As a matter of fact, France just DEACTIVATED nearly 4 MILLION vax passports for people who haven't got their booster shot yet. So, the original timeframe said you'd have 7 months to get a Covid booster, and then, apparently overnight, they changed the...

To say I've been skeptical about Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto universe would be an understatement of epic proportions. I could see the fundamental promise of a digital currency free of banks if you were living in a failing state like Venezuela or an overtly authoritarian one like China or Iran, but how was this relevant to the vast number of Bitcoin boosters living in stable Western democracies governed by the rule of law? Enter the trucker protests in Canada. In just three weeks of honking, blocked streets and bridges, bouncy castles and flag waving, this peaceful protest...

Wall Street investors are dumping their Moderna and Pfizer stock faster than the world can drop the mandates. Moderna is down 70 percent from its high, while Pfizer is off 19 percent. Former Blackrock Executive and investment adviser Edward Dowd calls for Moderna to go to zero and Pfizer to end under ten dollars per share.How is this possible given that Pfizer now enjoys record earnings per share and a market capitalization of some $270 billion, making it the 29th largest corporation globally? With nothing but profits in sight for the Pharmaceutical giant, what could be the problem?After all, in...

"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the...
