Canada is 1/8th the size of the USA. Losing 68,000 jobs in September would be like the USA reporting over 500,000 jobs cut. The Prime Minister of Canada has caused an economic catastrophe for his country with his "elbows up" strategy. Mark Carney also wants to import 300,000+ more foreigners each year.

From prosecuting comedians to backing the Digital Services Act, Paris has widened its censorship reach for decades. French President Emmanuel Macron went full Orwell recently. While long the darling of Western media, Macron has been one of the most anti-free-speech leaders in the world. On Sept. 29, he declared that "The so-called American ‘free speech’ today, which some people have promoted, is the opposite of free speech." Having Emmanuel Macron holding forth on free speech is akin to Joey Chestnut proselytizing on veganism. France has been in a headlong plunge into censorship and speech criminalization. These laws criminalize speech under...

According to a statement released by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), a study conducted by scientists from UCSB and Stanford University has determined that the forager-farmer Tsimané people of lowland Bolivia and the hunter-gatherer Hadza people of Tanzania have highly diverse yet similar gut microbiomes, sharing more than 1,200 bacterial species. More than 60 percent of these bacterial species are rare or absent in the microbiomes of people living in industrialized populations. The researchers were surprised because the Hadza consume mammals, birds, fish, and foraged fruits and vegetables, while the Tsimané eat more fiber in the form of...

It all falls to you, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Trump supporters. The midterm elections on November 3 are essential for the survival of the country: The survival of the United States as a constitutional republic is on your shoulders. The 2026 midterm election is important, but it also sets the stage for 2028, and while every election is important, these elections are existential. This is because the United States is in a revolutionary time. The outcomes of the midterms will be critical. Americans have the chance to save America or send the country down the path of a Communist tyranny....

REVEALED: The “Offices of New Americans” Spreading a Pro-Immigration Agenda Across the Country Free lawyers to fight deportation. Services regardless of immigration status. A national network helping build the bureaucracy.

They are called Offices of New Americans.

Three years after The Exorcist franchise spectacularly fell apart for Universal, the iconic horror property is set to return under writer-director Mike Flanagan with a new film starring Scarlett Johansson. Below is the first teaser trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs, which is described as “a radical new vision of the most terrifying title in the history of cinematic horror.” In the film, Johansson stars as NYPD homicide detective Julie Miller, who investigates a murderer called Father Sunday (John Leguizamo), a priest (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and a new slew of killings that threaten Miller’s 12-year-old son (Jacobi Jupe). Flanagan is the prolific...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/10/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 48[a]A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.1 Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain. 2 Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon[b] is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. 3 God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress. 4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together, 5 they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror. 6 Trembling seized them there,...

Americans are interesting people, far more intelligent than politicians and the media are willing to credit. They make reality-based decisions; most aren’t rich enough to do otherwise, relying on wealth to insulate them from stupid, though politically popular, policies. This is particularly true where their gun-buying in response to the trends of the last half century is concerned: For most of the 20th century, the American gun owner’s household was defined by the long gun. The rifle over the fireplace, the shotgun in the closet, the family hunting tradition. That picture has flipped. Today the handgun sits at the center...

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced he’s resurrected Christopher Columbus from being canceled and blasted “radical left communists” who tried to destroy the explorer’s legacy. Trump lauded the famous Italian American’s accomplishments in a ceremony at the White House as he prepares to add a statue of Columbus to the Rose Garden, where it will join statues of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. “I resurrected Christopher Columbus,” he announced to great applause from the Italians in the room. “He’s been rehabbed 100 percent, and he’s been resurrected in the true sense,” he added. “He’s back to where he should be.” He...

Who can doubt that wherever communism has risen, war follows? The carnage it has caused in this and the last century is beyond dispute. The staggering numbers of people executed, imprisoned, poisoned, starved, and exiled to gulags are almost beyond belief, as the authors of The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression have meticulously documented. The authors are all European. All were and are deeply acquainted with communist ideology and its fruits. One, Stephane Courtois, was a committed Maoist during the 1960s. The book documents the death toll: 25 million in the former Soviet Union, 65 million in China,...

Several justices suggested that local and state claims against oil companies may be blocked by the federal Clean Air Act. California and nearly three dozen states and municipalities have filed such claims. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices sounded wary Monday of state-by-state lawsuits that could impose huge damage verdicts on energy producers for the effects of global climate change.

One’s teenage years are a confusing time. It’s when many young people try to understand who they are and what they want to be. It’s a time of exploration and mistakes. It turns out many teens weren't who they thought they were (or led to be) after all. The trend of young people identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual has plummeted. According to The Washington Post, experts can't figure out why this is happening. Those online say it's pretty obvious.

A baby product that was found to contain various forms of alcohol is being recalled.

These substances were not listed on the label. Their presence may pose a risk depending on the amount consumed and the age and...

Technology giants spend hundreds of billions of dollars on AI, financed with debt. Equity valuations continue to rise, with optimism over technology earnings propelling the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes to record highs this week. The only question now is who survives when the bubble bursts and how much of the real economy it takes down with it. Everyone from Big Tech to Wall Street is gambling on AI like it’s a sure thing, but the cracks are already showing. Nearly every major company pouring billions into generative AI still hasn’t seen a real return. The experts say that...

Under President Donald Trump, Elon Musk's DOGE effort and the White House have accomplished what conservatives long dreamed to do but never achieved: substantially dismantling America's foreign aid agency. The shrunken U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), while it hasn't been officially wiped out by Congress, will be difficult to revive under future administrations and will be "less attractive" for future bureaucrats, former USAID special government employee, Mike Benz told Just the News. "Even if you turn the apparatus back on, there will be a slower ramp-up simply because I think the precarious nature of it, knowing it might be...

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is making changes to how it decides whether or not to kill wolves that are continually attacking livestock after threats arise.. Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced on Wednesday, Sept. 30, that it will be taking a more conservative approach to deciding whether or not to kill wolves that are repeatedly attacking livestock — citing rising concerns over how potential disease, wolf pup survival, mortality rates and uncertainty around future releases could impact the nascent population of gray wolves. The management change comes after the state wildlife agency has killed five wolves this year — four between...
