GO CANADA ! "PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK" A commercial promoting pork says: "PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK" The MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CAFETERIA MENU AND EXPLAINS WHY:Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why. "Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada, its customs, its traditions, and its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate. "Muslims must understand...

A Gen Xer who got $250,000 in student loans forgiven said he can now finally start saving for retirement — and consider his dream of studying in India

Sec. Yellen is asked about Biden's plan to raise taxes for Social Security. She doesn't have a clue, but is in charge of it.

The Biden administration laid out an ambitious new goal for the US: produce 20% of the world’s most advanced semiconductor chips by the end of the decade. It currently makes 0% of the so-called leading edge logic chips that are considerably more powerful than older-generation semiconductors, making them crucial for everything from mobile phones to AI to quantum computing. The legislation allows the White House to spend $50 billion in taxpayer dollars — $39 billion specifically earmarked for manufacturing — to try and help reignite American manufacturing in the years ahead.

Good example of how our government works…………………. Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one to write the instructions, and one to do time studies. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people to...

Recently, I was on vacation in Budapest, Hungary, taking one of those bus trips of the city. Our guide was a young lady, probably mid-20's, who spoke excellent English but had always lived in Budapest. We drove by a major university and she said that a college education was free in Hungary. When we drove past a large city bus stop, she quickly pointed out that it, too, was free. Finally, we drove past a large hospital where I was told that medical care was free. Curious, I asked her what her income tax rate was and she relied that...

WASHINGTON, D.C (LifeSiteNews) — LGBT activism groups can access millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to promote the homosexual and transgender agenda, thanks to a State Department grant program...dedicated to advancing and defending the human rights and fundamental freedoms of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) persons around the world,” the department’s website states.

A very different view of the riots.

I will attempt to answer the very detailed and frightening April 12 Correspondent of the Day letter from Dr. L. Fred Roensch. Perhaps a better title would have been "Despondent of the Day." He cites Bill Gates and the American Petroleum Institute as well-meaning caretakers of our planet by reciting a litany of creative means to save our children and grandchildren from his imagined horrors. My reply will begin with the failed but popular premise that we have gone from global warming to climate change. Why the change? I'll tell you why by citing Ian Rutherford Plimer, Australian geologist and...

The Democrats and many "Progressives" promise to increase the minimum wage to $15/hr. A recent street survey of some (really stupid) people suggests there are some out there who think $50/hr would be a "good" minimum wage. Really? Back in 1972 George McGovern was running for President. He had a photo op with Cesar Chevez, who was trying to get a wage increases for the lettuce pickers. McGovern voewed not to eat another salad until Chevez won his wage increase. A Sociology prof I worked with came in and told me what a great idea McGovern's boycott was. Stupid... The...

I don't know about you, but i feel like I've had a boatload of blaming whites for everything's that's wrong with the world. A fraternity brother mine wrote the following paragraphs to a bunch of us. It was prompted by one of those nostalgic slide shows from the 1950's. My response follows: At the risk of seeming like Debby Downer, I feel a need to write something in response to the video. So here goes… I guess it’s OK to look back with nostalgia at images from the 50s; the video certainly reminded me of my childhood and youth. In...

I didn’t write this but agree it is spot on; what’s good for thee is not good for me... Remember in 2011 when tens of thousands of Democrats surged on the Wisconsin Capitol building in Madison and physically occupied it for more than two weeks? We were told, "This is what democracy looks like." Remember in 2016 when Obama was President and hundreds of BLM blocked interstate highways and violently accosted police (even killing several)? We were told, "To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible." Remember in 2018 during the Kavanaugh hearings...

Do current TV ads reflect the current demographics in the US? If so, over half the US couples are bi-racial or gay. I guess I just haven't been paying attention to what's going on around me. Anyone else notice this, or am I just watching different ads?

The video gives a good explanation of how the software manipulation worked in the Dominion voting machines as well as evidence to the ownership of that software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZLgz8UHcWk&feature=youtu.be

The letter (below) is a response from Oxford University to black students attending as Rhodes Scholars who demand the university remove the statue of Oxford Benefactor, Cecil Rhodes. Interestingly, Chris Patten (Lord Patten of Barnes), The Chancellor of Oxford University, was on the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 on precisely the same topic. The Daily Telegraph headline yesterday was "Oxford will not rewrite history”. Lord Patten commented: “Education is not indoctrination. Our history is not a blank page on which we can write our own version of what it should have been according to our contemporary views and prejudice.”...

From a friend of mine: I HAVE THE RIGHT TO MY OPINIONS AND THIS IS HOW I SEE IT. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TOLD WHAT I AM ALLOWED TO SAY, FEEL OR THINK. FaceBook jail here I come!

A doctor in TX has a treatment he's been using for Covid-19 since March with 100% cure rate. Interesting statistic: Taiwan, with 21 million people has 7 Covid-19 deaths, and they are also using the same approach. The drug is Pulmicort Respules and is a 20-year old treatment for asthma. Treatment cost: around $200. The interview is about a half hour long, but the first five minutes explains well what he's doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSDdwN2Xcg&feature=youtu.be Why haven't we seen this on national news??
