Canadians’ wages, wealth, and productivity are falling amid a massive inflow of poor migrants, yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to expand citizenship to the foreign-born children of the migrants who take low-wage jobs from Canadians. “That’s bonkers,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “There are tens of millions of people around the world who would do [the Canadian jobs] for room and board — who would do it for free and hustle a little extra money on the side to pay for food! — if the consequence was that their kids would all be able...

The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030. The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar. The intravenous treatment will be tested for its efficacy on human dentition, after it successfully grew new teeth in ferret and mouse models with no significant side...

Explanation: What happens if you ascend this stairway to the Milky Way? Before answering that, let's understand the beautiful sky you will see. Most eye-catching is the grand arch of the Milky Way Galaxy, the band that is the central disk of our galaxy which is straight but distorted by the wide-angle nature of this composite image. Many stars well in front of the Milk Way will be visible, with the bright white star just below the stellar arch being Altair, and the bright blue star above it being Vega. The air glows green on the left, just above the...

While GLP-1 agonists help people lose weight, different drugs could help them retain muscle at the same time. Anti-obesity drugs cause people to lose more than just fat. More than 73% of American adults are overweight, according to the CDC. This puts them at increased risk of death and many serious health issues, but losing weight and keeping it off through diet changes and exercise — the standard approach — is notoriously difficult. That made the FDA’s 2021 approval of Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide (Wegovy) as an obesity treatment seem like something of a miracle. The drug is in a class...

President Joe Biden’s plans to deliver an address after the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in New York shows how political and “rigged” it is, Trump 2024 National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Wednesday interview on Breitbart News Daily, noting that Trump and his team are expected to sit in the courthouse until the jury returns with its verdict. Reports are circulating that Biden plans to formally address the nation from the White House after a verdict is reached in the business records trial in New York. When asked about what she thinks of...

These high-tech compression leggings are designed to boost circulation and promote lymphatic drainage without having to do anything other than wearing them while moving (or not). When it comes to wellness and health, I’m always looking for a suitable shortcut. From Infrared Sauna Blankets that burn calories just by laying down to body-contouring shapewear to hide the aftermath of a super-sized dinner, I’m here for all the hacks that promise to work their magic without requiring me to actually work harder. With that being said, it comes as no surprise that when I learned that lymphatic drainage leggings (they’re usually...

The warning signs surrounding President Joe Biden’s support with Black voters have been flashing for months. On Wednesday, Biden will stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the most influential Black Democrats in the country and debut a coalition that the campaign hopes will help shore up support with the key Democratic constituency. Biden is slated to speak at Girard College, the historic boarding school in Fairmount,

Because hes no joke. There's nothing funny about Joe. The man is a seriously depressing epic tragedy unfolding before the world and terrifying to watch. And not just for America but for the whole world to see the "leader of the free world" charade game playing out in DC.

An American professor and writer has said that Donald Trump’s “brain is rotting in front of us”, and claimed that to compare him to Joe Biden is “dangerous and wrong”. Sarah Churchwell, an American culture specialist and the author of a book examining division in the US, The Wrath to Come, was appearing on a panel at Hay Festival chaired by The Independent’s chief book critic Martin Chilton. They were joined by political podcaster David Runciman and We Need to Talk About Kevin author Lionel Shriver. Shriver claimed that, ahead of the US election on 5 November, she finds herself...

BREAKING: Jury just sent a note in the Trump criminal trial. The jury rang the courtroom. An officer went back into the jury room. The D.A. team has entered the room.

Criminal charges have been dropped against world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who said he hopes to move on from the incident that took place outside the PGA Championship earlier this month. "I hold no ill will toward Officer [Bryan] Gillis. I wish to put this incident behind me and move on, and I hope he will do the same," Scheffler wrote in an Instagram story Wednesday, referencing the Louisville police officer who arrested him outside Valhalla Golf Club. "Police officers have a difficult job and I hold them in high regard. This was a severe miscommunication in a chaotic...

Annual growth of the U.S. money supply in April advanced into positive territory for the first time since November 2022, pushing against the effects of elevated interest rates as inflation hovers above 3 percent. The comprehensive money supply, known as M2, rose by 0.59 percent annually in April to hit $20.8 trillion after contracting by as much as 4.5 percent a year ago, the Federal Reserve reported Tuesday. The program of dramatic quantitative easing in response to the pandemic — consisting of dropping interest rates to zero and boosting the money supply — likely staved off a serious depression as...

Levin to Trump’s attorneys: Next stop? The Supreme Court!The weight of precedent and the outrageous behavior of the prosecutors and the judge favor the 45th president.In Bush v. Gore, the United States Supreme Court interceded in the Florida Supreme Court’s deliberations because that court was changing the Florida voting system on the fly, thereby violating the Equal Protection rights of Florida voters. The state court was establishing new standards for resolving a presidential election. The Manhattan trial court has done worse in the farcical “hush-money” case. It has taken up a case in which there is exclusive federal jurisdiction (involving...

First lady Dr. Jill Biden on Wednesday urged Americans to “choose good over evil” by backing her spouse come November and defended her husband against concerns about his age. The first lady also offered a preview of Biden’s upcoming campaign travel during an interview on ABC’s “The View,” attempting to tamp down concerns amid dismal polling numbers and low enthusiasm for her husband’s reelection campaign. “We are going to meet people where they are. We’re going to go to college campuses, we’re going to go to just every state that we can get into — I’ve been traveling every single...

Scientists from the University of Pittsburgh have discovered a large amount of lithium located in Pennsylvania, saying it could eventually supply more than a third of America’s needs for the mineral. Researcher and study lead author Justin Mackey told CBS Pittsburgh in an article published Wednesday that the wastewaters of the Marcellus Shale gas wells could cover “somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of the current U.S. national demand.” “This study estimates that Marcellus Shale related Li yields have potential to make a significant contribution to US domestic consumption with a set of reasonable, conservative assumptions,” says the research, published...

First Lady Jill Biden said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that we will “lose all of our rights” if another Republican is confirmed to the Supreme Court. Sara Haines said, “Women are likely to play a crucial role in November and we’ve heard bragging about stripping women’s reproductive rights, 14 states have a total ban on abortion, and now IVF is under attack. How dangerous a time is this for women, and how much worse could it get in a second or third as you mentioned Trump presidency?” Biden said, “It could get a lot worse under a Trump presidency....

Noé Ramos was chatting with voters, sharing breakfast with supporters of his mayoral reelection bid in his hometown in northern Mexico. “It’s something very special that people give me a glass of water, that they invite me to have a taco, to have a tamale,” Ramos said in a Facebook livestream last month featuring him at an outdoor table in El Mante in Tamaulipas state. “It motivates me to keep on working to make things better. … I will not defraud them.” An hour later, Ramos was dead. An attacker approached him on the campaign trail and stabbed him multiple...

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is calling for a federal investigation into Justice Juan Merchan, arguing he deprived former President Donald Trump of First Amendment rights in the Manhattan business records trial. Vance, who is reportedly in contention to be Trump’s running mate, penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, calling for a probe into Merchan due to potential violations of sections 241 and 242 of Title 18. Judge Juan Merchan's unconstitutional gag order violates President Trump's First Amendment rights and is clearly illegal. This morning, I sent a letter to the Attorney General requesting that he investigate...

A drone view of the scene where vessels used for delivering aid to Palestinians via a U.S.-built pier in Gaza got stuck after they ran aground on the Mediterranean coast in Ashdod, Israel, May 25, 2024. (Amir Cohen/Reuters) On the menu today: The Gaza Pier — you know, the one where the U.S. and allied countries unloaded food, so it could be stolen off trucks before reaching its intended destination — is no longer operational, and it will be out of operation for “at least over a week.” It turns out that the pier system was not intended to be...

A series of young women have revealed they were sucker-punched at random on the street in Manhattan in a worrying series of attacks — with at least one perpetrator still at large. Mikayla Toninato, 27, told The Post she was frozen in shock when she was punched in the face by a man over six feet tall on the corner of 14th Street and Fifth Avenue on Monday at 2 p.m. moments after she left her class at Parsons School of Design. “I didn’t see him coming at all. I screamed out of shock. He knocked my head back so...
