Idiocracy was a movie released in 2006. It was supposed to be a comedy but morphed into a sad documentary which envisioned "a disturbing prophetic look at the future of America-and-our era of stupidity." The movie documents an Army experiment in suspended animation. Two subjects are preserved cryogenically and frozen in a time capsule. The Army forgot about the experiment and the time capsule was lost in the dust of time. Both subjects wake up in the year 2505 and discover that America is completely filled with dumb people. Apparently intelligent people stopped having children and stupid people procreated like...

Soon, most travellers entering Canada will not have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, CTV News has learned. As of April 1, the federal government will be lifting the pre-arrival COVID-19 testing requirement at the border for fully vaccinated travellers.

Putin has a problem. His invasion of Ukraine, intended as a days-long operation, is now grinding into its third week and becoming a bloodbath. Attacks across the country are stalled amid predictions that Russia will soon struggle to hold the territory it has - let alone capture more. In short: he needs more men for the meat grinder. But where to find them? America estimates Russia has committed somewhere between half and three quarters of its total land forces to Ukraine, and all of those are already involved in the fighting. Some 'spare' units will be involved in active missions...

A North Korean projectile exploded shortly after launch on Wednesday, Reuters reports, citing South Korea's military. The suspected missile would have been the Kim Jong Un regime's 10th launch this year. The missile was launched from the international airport in Sunanm near the capital of Pyongyang, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement."It is presumed that it failed immediately after launch," the statement said. JCS told Reuters the projectile was presumed to be a ballistic missile and exploded at a 12-mile altitude during its booster phase. North Korea's past two launches, one on Feb. 26 and...

A Kalashnikov rifle slung over his shoulder, Voznesensk’s funeral director spent this Tuesday driving through fields and forests, picking up dead Russian soldiers and taking them to a freezer railway car piled with Russian bodies—the casualties of one of the most comprehensive routs President Vladimir Putin’s forces have suffered since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine. Judging from the destroyed and abandoned armor, Ukrainian forces, which comprised local volunteers and the professional military, eliminated most of a Russian battalion tactical group on March 2 and 3. As darkness fell March 2, Mr. Rudenko, who owns a company transporting gravel and...

The sun rose at 8:27 AM on January 7, 1974. Children in the Washington area had left for school in the dark that morning, thanks to a new national experiment during a wrenching energy crisis: most of the US went to year-round daylight saving time beginning on January 6. “It was jet black” outside when her daughter was supposed to leave for school, Florence Bauer of Springfield told the Washington Post. “Some of the children took flashlights with them.”The change would benefit Americans in the long run, predicted Steve Grossman of the Department of Transportation. Yes, accidents in the morning...

Finishing its 60-day legislative session last Saturday, Virginia’s General Assembly has proven an ideological battleground, with Democrats voting down nearly every Republican-presented bill, no matter how reasonable or representative of Virginians. On March 3, that mentality was front and center on the floor when Senate Democrats directed unnecessary insults and demeaning comments towards homeschoolers.Equal Access Athletics, HB 511, a local school choice bill, would allow school boards to determine whether homeschool students in their district could participate in public school sports. Similar legislation, already law in 35 states, has been voted down by Democrats in Virginia for years.In rural Virginia,...

The corporate media and Democrats are whipping up a moral panic around Ukraine that could deliver us right into World War III, all in an effort to win the 2022 midterms — and it looks as if more and more Republicans are falling for it. Past is prologue, so let’s look at the recent past as a means to understand what’s happening

Iron Accumulates in Metastatic Tumors PET imaging (right) shows the accumulation of iron in metastatic tumors growing in the spine and liver of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Credit: © 2022 Jiang et al. Originally published in Journal of Experimental Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20210739 Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered that cells carrying the most common mutation found in human cancer accumulate large amounts of ferrous iron and that this “ferroaddiction” can be exploited to specifically deliver powerful anticancer drugs without harming normal, healthy cells. The therapeutic strategy, described in a study that was published on...

“I don’t need a ride. I need more ammunition.” The recent words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may echo through history alongside phrases from notable freedom fighters such as Patrick Henry ("give me liberty or give me death!") and Winston Churchill ("never give in"). But these political figures are not alone in standing for their beliefs when under attack by those trying to destroy them and end their way of life. Christians in more than 70 nations face regular attacks and persecution because of their Christian faith and testimony, and many choose to remain in their country to serve God...

....unlike elected leaders who leave office to riches, book tours, and the glitzy lifestyle of a statesman, many dictators who miscalculate leave office in a casket, a possibility that makes them even more likely to double down. Despots sow the seeds of their own demise early on, when they first face the trade-off between allowing freedom of expression and maintaining an iron grip on power. After arriving in the palace, crushing dissent and jailing opponents is often rational, from the perspective of a dictator: It creates a culture of fear that is useful for establishing and maintaining control. But that...

Evidence has come to light strongly indicating that the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are not really "vaccines" in the medical and legal sense of the word, but rather "experimental gene therapies." If proven true, the significance and legal ramifications of this allegation are profound.This article summarizes a presentation by Dr. David Martin, a national intelligence analyst and founder of IQ100 Index, a developer of linguistic genomics, and molecular biologist Dr. Judy Mikovits.In the presentation, Dr. Martin states, "You cannot have a vaccine that doesn't claim to result in either immunity or blocking transmission." He goes on to say, "By...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has called for Major League Baseball to achieve a proportional representation of female players on each team. "It is a disgrace that baseball hasn't accorded women a fair share of the roster slots," Adams exclaimed. "It took them more than half a century to allow blacks to play in their leagues. Now it's time they allowed women to play." The Mayor dismissed objections that women cannot compete on the same field as men. "This is simply not true," he insisted. "Right now, our city softball leagues have coed teams. With a few similar modifications...

Tiffany Moore had a panic attack at a Tennessee playground. That’s how her 2021 ended. All she’d wanted was to give her 8-year-old daughter the gentle childhood she’d never had. By age 10, Moore had for years been strapped down repeatedly in mental health wards and “pumped full of drugs” in different hospitals. That was in addition to the abuse she’d experienced at home. Half a decade later, she would be on the streets, surviving through work with sex traffickers and pimps. At age 10, she says, she didn’t expect to see adulthood. Now, as a mother, she was determined...
