Portions of this article were adapted from the author’s recently published paper at The Heritage Foundation, “Combating Big Tech’s Totalitarianism: A Road Map.”Last week, our Canadian neighbors mobilized their national security apparatus against working-class citizens protesting government overreach. The Biden administration is no doubt taking notes.In fact, the contours of a similar strategy are already emerging in the United States. First, the FBI reportedly tagged parents opposed to critical race theory with a “terrorism” label under the direction of Biden’s Department of Justice. Then, the DOJ revealed plans to stand up a domestic terror unit fixated on “anti-government or anti-authority”...

Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned that the country's hypersonic missiles are ready to launch. In a chilling video, he warned that "weapons without parallel in the world have been put on combat duty" as Kremlin forces have surged into eastern parts of Ukraine... Speaking for the Defender of the Fatherland Day, originally a Soviet-era holiday for men who served in the Red Army, he said: “We see how difficult the international situation is, what dangers the existing challenges pose. “Our country is always open for direct and honest dialogue, but Russia's interests and the security of our citizens are...

Russian stocks and ETFs continued to sell off on Wednesday as the United States and its European allies have imposed sanctions on the country after Vladimir Putin dispatched Russian troops to act as "peacekeepers" in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In a direct reaction to the sanctions executed by the U.S. and its allies, Russian related stocks and ETFs have tumbled. This added to a retreat that has marked the last several days, as tensions in Ukraine have escalated. As an example, state-owned bank Sberbank of Russia (OTCPK:SBRCY) is -14% during Wednesday's intraday action. The slide represented the fifth...

... The MAGA Hub app has sparked confusion for many supporters who were hoping to try out Trump's social media platform on Android devices. As it stands, Trump has only released Truth Social on the Apple iOS app store, where it reached No. 1 in the 'free downloads' category on the same day of its release. ...

Why Canada Will Become a Dictatorship Under Trudeau (Intro) The leader of that party does what he wants, when he wants, and no one dares question him. Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision? Let's hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions. *** It's becoming clearer as the days of Trudeau's Liberals wear on: if elected Prime Minister, Justin...

At least 35 organizations have called on Gov. Ron DeSantis to veto a bill that would prevent patients and families from suing health-care providers over COVID-19-related injuries, deaths and lack of treatment.The bill, SB 7014, “COVID-19-related Claims Against Health Care Providers,” was presented to the governor Feb. 17. He has until Thursday to veto, sign, or ignore it. By ignoring it, according to the state constitution, the bill would become law, effective immediately. “We know you share with us the core values of protecting life, individual liberty and the freedom of medical choice,” R. Shawn McBride, with the American Freedom...

An apparent rip-off of Donald Trump’s social media network Truth Social has racked up downloads in the six figures on Google’s Play Store, causing confusion by MAGA types who failed to realize the distinction. Insider first reported that the app, which is titled “MAGA Hub — Truth Social Trump” on the Play Store, has crossed 100,000 downloads as of Tuesday. While the app itself was launched in August 2021, well before news broke that Trump was pursuing the “Truth” branding for his social network, most of the downloads appear to have been in the last few weeks. Trump Media &...

Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the suspension of Canadians’ rights last week in his invocation of the Emergencies Act to stop the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa and elsewhere. Among the restrictions announced are greater controls over the online crowdfunding sites that help to fund the protesters and attempts to control the flow of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. According to news reports, “credit card processors and fund-raising services will be required to report any blockade-related campaigns to Canada’s anti-money laundering agency.” Canadian banks quickly fell in line with the decrees, with Toronto-Dominion Bank freezing two personal bank accounts...

The livers of men diagnosed with hepatic diseases change sex as part of a potential self-protective mechanism, according to University of Queensland research. Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) lead researcher, associate professor Frederic Gachon said the surprise discovery was made during an investigation into why disruption of the body's circadian clock is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and liver diseases. "When a high-fat diet was fed to mice that had their circadian clock gene turned off, we expected them to develop diabetes or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) like the control mice, but they didn't," Dr. Gachon said. "We...

Yesterday, at a prerecorded meeting of Russia’s Security Council, President Vladimir Putin sat listless and slumped in his chair, far away from his gallery of boyars, pretending to weigh their counsel before launching a pre-scripted war against Ukraine. He was not impressed when Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, stammered and flubbed his lines, confusing the present and future tenses. “Speak clearly, Sergei!” Putin admonished him. Then Naryshkin got ahead of himself, and everyone else, by saying he supported incorporating the Russian-occupied territories of Donbas, east Ukraine, into the Russian Federation. “That’s not what we’re discussing!” Putin...

We are to be believers in Jesus Christ first and Americans second; for in doing the first, we will fulfill the second rightly in time! When this Divine order is kept in Almighty God's will, America will prosper physically, mentally, and spiritually as NEVER before! I personally believe that our nation was not spared in 2016 to "Make America Great Again" by obtaining and keeping our national sovereignty, economic growth, and prosperity; but for Almighty God's people to diligently and prayerfully get out Almighty God's saving message to all of Adam's race before the coming Day of the Lord (John...

We as a world and nation today are experiencing the compounding EXPONENTIAL rise in lawlessness and its EXPONENTIAL catastrophic and non-reparable wake. Here in America, the 2020 presidential elections most likely will have been America's last and while it's on the table,, national civil war is indeed at our very doorstep. To not see this dire REALITY is to be as a blind man and a fool! An ETERNAL saving relationship to Jesus Christ is all crucial and faith in Almighty God and His Word all important! May many wake up in Christ and be His children of the Day...

Ukraine on Wednesday has started conscripting reservists aged 18-60 following a decree by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the armed forces said in a statement. The maximum service period is one year.

Servicing costs could soon reach $1 trillion a year, which would crowd out spending on defense. The national debt this month reached $30 trillion. Not only is this the largest debt in U.S. history in dollar terms, but the ratio of debt to gross domestic product is 119%—the largest it’s ever been. And things are only getting worse. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the mammoth debt-to-GDP ratio will double over the next three decades. The Highway Trust Fund will likely become insolvent in 2027. Medicare Part A will run out of money in fiscal year 2026 and Social Security...

Tuesday's episode of The Psaki Show featured Fox News's Peter Doocy hammering Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the Biden administration's claim that the biggest threat America is facing is climate change, as well as a pointed question by Doocy over an old Biden tweet. Once called on, Doocy wasted no time getting to the point, asking Psaki about a hyperbolic claim by the Biden Pentagon that the "greatest threat facing America is global warming." He asked Psaki if that was still the administration's assessment despite the fact that we are "facing down a potential cyberwar with Russia." Of course, Psaki...

PJ Media's Matt Margolis recently wrote an excellent piece about the kids' book publisher Scholastic Press pushing the extremism of The Radical Left onto our kids. The post went up shortly after I found myself scratching my head at the flyer from Scholastic that Little Bob had brought home from school. Of course, if we see something that will capture his imagination and stoke a desire to read I don't mind eating a few bucks. After he & Sister Babe looked through it together, Little Bob wasn't all that interested in anything. So I decided to flip through and now...
