Controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson has fled Canada as liberals push to pass legislation that he says will suppress free speech and turn the country into a “totalitarian hellhole.” Speaking in a recent episode of his daughter’s show, “The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast,” Peterson said he opted to move to the US over the contentious bill, C-63, and ongoing feud with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. “The issue with the College of Psychologists is very annoying, to say the least, and the new legislation that the liberals are attempting to push through, Bill C-63, we’d all be living in a totalitarian...

Luigi Mangione’s body language as he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse gives insight into the accused killer’s mindset, according to a body language expert. Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday when a McDonald’s customer saw he resembled images of the suspect in the shooting. Charged in Pennsylvania with forgery and carrying a firearm without a license, he has not waived his right to an extradition hearing to face murder charges in New York. As he was escorted into Blair County Court on Tuesday by a cadre of officers,...

Albertsons said Wednesday that it has terminated a $25 billion merger agreement with Kroger and will sue the grocery giant, alleging the company didn’t do enough to get the deal done. Judges in Washington and Oregon on Tuesday blocked the deal, delivering a win to federal regulators and consumer advocates who argued the merger could harm competition, consumers and workers and push prices up. “Rather than fulfill its contractual obligations to ensure that the merger succeeded, Kroger acted in its own financial self-interest, repeatedly providing insufficient divestiture proposals that ignored regulators’ concerns. Kroger’s self-serving conduct, taken at the expense of...

A disgruntled Utah man smashed his car into the storefront of a dealership he had bought it from earlier that day after he was allegedly denied a refund when he discovered his new ride had mechanical issues. Michael Lee Murray, 35, bought a used Subaru Outback from the Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne car dealership in Sandy, a city in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, for $4,000 on Monday morning, according to Fox 13 News. However, Murray alleged that he was sold a “lemon” — a vehicle whose manufacturing issues jeopardize the driver’s safety — soon after he snagged the...

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst investigated wind and weather patterns to predict the timeline of nuclear fallout, including the paths through which radiation would spread throughout the country. Experts agree that the Midwest, where 450 ballistic missile silos are stored — particularly Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska — would be the most likely primary target as detonating just two of those storehouses could cause an explosion equal to 100,000 tons of TNT, per Scientific American. Exposure to radiation poisoning from a nuclear attack would guarantee death for an estimated 300 million Americans within four days of detonation. Citizens...

Documentary about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with testimony from the "man on the grassy knoll" himself, James E. Files.

Transcript linked below video.

Sources within the police community told the New York Post that the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killer traveled to NYC on a Greyhound bus from Atlanta last month. The bus on which the killer is believed to have traveled originated in Atlanta, however, authorities are not certain as whether the killer boarded the bus there or climbed aboard at a stop along the way. Breitbart News reported 50-year-old Thompson was shot and killed outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan just after 6:45 a.m. on Wednesday. A manhunt for the killer was immediately launched and today marks the third day of the...

Move over cocaine sharks, here come the fentanyl dolphins … An alarming number of bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico were found to have traces of fentanyl in their system, shocking scientists with a horrifying twist to the drug epidemic. Traces of the powerful synthetic opioid was first found inside a dead dolphin that was floating in the gulf water when it was then examined by researchers from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Sept. 2020. What was supposed to be a routine analysis of blubber turned into years-long research — with more than a third of the dolphins tested also...

Kelly Powers, a commentator on Fox News, died this week from brain cancer. Powers was 45 years old. An obituary posted online for Powers called her “a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went.” The former surgeon and medical expert was a regular commentator on the network and a guest on programs like “Red Eye” and “Fox and Friends.” In 2020, she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a severe form of brain cancer, according to a GoFundMe page set up for her family. After three brain surgeries, multiple rounds of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, her cancer returned...

"What's the best car?" Getting asked that question is an occupational hazard in this business. (And, yes, we realize that it's not actually hazardous, at least compared with the occupational dangers faced by, say, ironworkers who build skyscrapers or zookeepers who feed lions.) When you drive and test hundreds of cars every year—as our editorial team collectively does—it's a natural query. And our annual 10Best awards provide the answer. Since 1983, we've been conducting this exercise: We identify the very best of what's available, not merely our favorite new models introduced for a given year. An onslaught of new or...

Does anyone having any suggestions for a password generator that is either online, or other? I see a few online free sites, but don't know if they are bogus or questionable. I get tired of attempting to create strong passwords, especially when using a website that requires at least 15 various numbers, characters, etc. Thanks

Winter weather is making its presence known across the U.S. as millions of people deal with the onslaught of a long-duration, lake-effect snowstorm that has paralyzed communities downwind of the Great Lakes. And to make matters worse, rounds of arctic air will continue to invade the country and send temperatures tumbling below freezing in cities as far as the Southeast. The FOX Forecast Center said the arctic blast from Canada has been sweeping across the central and eastern U.S. Temperatures in cities in the northern Plains plummeted below zero over the weekend, and wind chills made it feel even colder....

There are few treatment decisions more difficult for families and loved ones to make than those surrounding the use of artificial nutrition and hydration in the seriously or terminally ill person:“Should nutrition be given intravenously if my wife’s gut isn’t working right?”“Should intravenous fluids be given to my father when he stops drinking and becomes dehydrated?”“Should a feeding tube be placed if my mother can’t swallow without choking?”Family members agonize over these questions, especially if they are not given clear explanations about the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of various available treatments, and what kind of burdens, side effects and...

Holy cow! A recently demoted Brooklyn priest whose church finances are under federal investigation has an impressive real estate portfolio worth more than $2 million, including a house in the Hamptons and a pricey waterfront condo in Florida, a review of records by The Post reveal. Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who had his pastoral duties yanked at Our Lady of Mount Carmel — Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary last week even peddled a $2,000-a-week timeshare on the resort island of St. Martin on Facebook in October, the review found.

There's a southern migration happening in the U.S. right now, and it's not because of the weather. The National Association of Realtors' 2024 Migration Trends report released this week shows Southern states dominated in attracting the most people to move within their borders last year, and only 1% of those who moved said they did so because of climate-related reasons, according to its analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.

He better watch out. Footage of a heated confrontation between customers apparently taken inside a Costco emerged the day before Thanksgiving — sparking online debate about naughty shopper behavior as gift-buying season gets underway. An aggravated man rammed a woman’s shopping cart with his own as he impatiently tried to push through a sea of shoppers in an aisle, according to a video a fellow customer posted on a Reddit Costco thread, which is not affiliated with the mega-chain store.

This map visualizes the average credit card debt held by households in each U.S. state and ranks the states where residents pay off the debt the fastest and slowest. Data is sourced from Bankrate (2024) who also used average monthly household income to calculate how long it takes to pay off balances. Households in Alaska and Washington D.C. are carrying more than $7,000 in credit card debt, the highest across the country. However, with average annual household incomes of $109,000 and $149,000, residents in both states can pay off their debt in about 15–20 months. In fact, glancing through the...
