S ince I’m going to be criticizing a now widely accepted phenomenon, this piece may evoke eyerolls from some supporters. So be it, because certain things need to be said.  I must confess that with the way many of my fellow adults behave today, it can make me ashamed to be one. I almost sometimes feel as if I want to apologize to the children for the example the contemporary grown-up world now sets. We often lament, and rightly so, how disrespectful many modern youths are, yet a prerequisite for commanding respect is being respectable. There is little respectable about modern American culture.  Selwyn Duke CanadaFreePress.Com http://canadafreepress.com/

They burned our cities and WE have to pay them. We protest election fraud and end up in a gulag. Dem City Will Pay $600,000 To Protesters For Injuries Sustained In 2020 George Floyd Demonstrations By: Daily Caller , December 1, 2022: A federal court Wednesday approved Minneapolis, Minnesota’s agreement to pay 12 protesters a combined $600,000 for injuries sustained during 2020 demonstrations over George Floyd’s murder. The agreement settled a lawsuit brought by American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) on the protesters’ behalf, and bars Minneapolis from arresting or using physical force including chemical agents against people demonstrating legally, according to a Wednesday ACLU-MN press release . The Minnesota U.S. District Court’s  injunction concluding the lawsuit Wednesday mandates body-camera recordings for Minneapolis officers deployed to protests and limits their use of chemical agents for peaceful protest dispersion. “Tear gas, foam bullets and

We knew that economic conditions were deteriorating, but this is getting ridiculous.  According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the number of layoffs in November was 127 percent higher than it was in October.  That isn’t just a trend, that is an avalanche.  And compared to the same month in 2021, the number of layoffs in November was 417 percent higher.  Please take a moment and let that figure sink in.  A 417 percent increase is a colossal shift.  Essentially, these numbers are telling us that a giant tsunami of U.S. layoffs has now begun, and I believe that things will get even worse in 2023 and beyond .  Our leaders have pursued policies that have been extremely destructive to the U.S. economy, and many of us have been warning that a day of reckoning would arrive.  Well, it appears that a day of reckoning for America’s workers is now here, and the months ahead are not going to be pretty. There is no way to spin these numbers to make them look good.  Major layoff announcement

In science fiction – think films and TV like “Interstellar” and “Star Trek” – wormholes in the cosmos serve as portals through space and time for spacecraft to traverse unimaginable distances with ease. If only it were that simple. Scientists have long pursued a deeper understanding of wormholes and now appear to be making progress. Researchers announced on Wednesday that they forged two minuscule simulated black holes – those extraordinarily dense celestial objects with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape – in a quantum computer and transmitted a message between them through what amounted to a tunnel in space-time.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he wants to keep the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place to protect the health of the troops, as Republican governors and lawmakers press to rescind it. This past week more than 20 Republican governors sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking that the administration remove the mandate, saying it has hurt the U.S. National Guard’s ability to recruit troops. Those troops are activated by governors to respond to natural disasters or unrest.

Let’s be honest about what is really going on in Ukraine.  The United States is providing most of the funding, most of the equipment, most of the ammunition, most of the high level intelligence and much of the training.  That makes the United States a direct participant in the conflict.  Yes, many other NATO countries are also contributing in various ways, and that makes them direct participants as well.  But the mainstream media here in the western world continues to insist that this is Ukraine’s war and that we are just helping them out.  Without a doubt, Ukraine has lost an enormous number of soldiers over the course of 2022, but at this point the Ukrainians are really a junior partner in the war.  If the U.S. and NATO had not intervened on an epic scale, the war would already be over and Russia would have won.  Unfortunately, now that we are so deeply invested in the conflict there is no easy way out, and that has very serious implications for all of us. So much of the death a

I wish we could just cover happy topics all day long, but we have to talk about pedophilia and what’s going on in California . The depressive state of things today beats me down. But it is so much more important to me that everybody is informed — especially if you’re like me and you’re a mother to two young children. We talk about California all the time because it is practically a communist country that happens to be in the United States. As I have said to my listeners over and over again, if you live in California — move. I believe Governor Gavin Newsom is a dark character and hell-bent on destroying the people of California . I don’t believe it’s worth the fight there anymore — especially if you have young children. To add weight to that claim, a new report from The Daily Mail has revealed that more than 7,000 convicted pedophiles in California have been released from prison less than a year after sentencing for committing horrific acts, horrific acts including rape

Disney CEO Bob Iger remarked during a town hall event with employees that he desires to advance social causes in a more subdued fashion after the entertainment conglomerate publicly battled Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis  earlier this year. The company’s board of directors recently restored Iger, who previously served as chief executive for 15 years, to his former job and removed would-be successor Bob Chapek from the top position. Chapek positioned Disney against legislation in Florida that prohibits instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity for students between kindergarten and third grade, ultimately causing the iconic company to lose trust among many consumers. In footage obtained by Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo, Iger claimed that the social issues favored by Disney are not inherently political, yet appeared to recognize that pushing Left-wing values has created backlash in the marketplace. “I think that some of the subjects that have

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Disney during an interview Tuesday night after the company’s CEO, Bob Iger, said that he was sorry that the company was “dragged” into a fight with the state of Florida. DeSantis made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson in which he was asked about Disney’s opposition to the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, which banned schools from talking about sexual matters with young children. Carlson played a clip where Iger said, “I was sorry to see us dragged into that battle. And I have no idea exactly what its ramifications are in terms of the business itself.” “What I can say is, the state of Florida has been important to us for a long time, and we have been very important to the state of Florida,” Iger continued. “That is something I’m extremely mindful of and will articulate if I get the chance.” When asked how he would respond to Iger’s remarks, DeSantis said, “We didn’t drag them in, Tucke

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Apple during an interview Tuesday evening for its role in hindering widespread protests against China’s severe pandemic restrictions and for allegedly threatening to boot Twitter from its App Store. “If you look what’s going on in China now, the CCP, they have been imposing these zero COVID lockdown policies. They have been doing it on and off for three years,” DeSantis told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “And you have people in China that are really engaged in a noble effort to protest which is basically Leninist rule. So, what is Apple doing with that? They are limiting the AirDrop function of the protesters. So they are serving basically as a vassal to the Chinese Communist Party.” “Then, on the other hand, here in the United States, what are they doing? They are trying to get Elon Musk’s Twitter off the App Store, potentially, which would be a huge blow for free speech,” he continued. “And so this is maybe the most powerful com

The Dark Web Price Index 2022 Did you know that the internet you’re familiar with is only  10%  of the total data that makes up the World Wide Web ? As Visual Capitalist's Carmen Ang details below, the rest of the web is hidden from plain sight, and requires special access to view. It’s known as the Deep Web, and nestled far down in the depths of it is a dark, sometimes dangerous place, known as the darknet, or  Dark Web . This graphic by  Enrique Mendoza  provides us a glimpse at this shrouded part of the internet, showing us some of the common items that are sold on there, and how much they typically cost. A Brief Introduction to the Dark Web Before diving in, it’s worth quickly explaining what the Dark Web is, and how people typically gain access to it. Unlike the ordinary web (which is also known as the Surface Web), the Dark Web cannot be accessed through a regular browser such as Chrome or Safari. Rather, users need to access it anony

LA Turns To A "Mansion Tax" To Try And Solve Its Homelessness Problem Believe it or not, California thinks it has a solution to the homelessness problem that can be solved with additional taxation! Go figure. A new measure in Los Angeles, called Measure ULA, is set to generate $900 million in taxes that will then be used for housing subsidies and tenant protections. The tax is essentially a levy on all property sales of more than $5 million, according to Bloomberg. This "mansion tax", if it passes, will look to "speed new construction and deliver a way out of the city’s spiraling homelessness crisis", according to Bloomberg. It could generate some $900 million per year to provide infrastructure like affordable homes and tools like counsel for tenants in eviction courts.  Laura Raymond, director of the nonprofit Alliance for Community Transit–Los Angeles, told Bloomberg : “This would be the biggest investment in tenant protectio

Ports Clogged With Containers As World Trade Stumbles The latest Bloomberg Trade Tracker reveals an ominous outlook for world trade due to soaring interest rates, the war in Ukraine, a slowdown in the US economy, and zero Covid in China. A shortage of containers has entirely reversed into a glut as crashing shipping rates and canceled sails gain momentum during what is supposed to be the busiest shipping period of the year.  "The world's two biggest economies are feeling glum about the export outlook, with both the US and China gauges in contraction in October and the American one in "below-normal" range on the Tracker," according to  Bloomberg .  Earlier this week, we explained that  economic storm clouds  are gathering worldwide as some of the largest shipping companies warn about decelerating global trade.

Global Food Import Bill Soars To "Alarming Level" As Poor Countries On Brink Of Crisis A shocking new report via the  Food and Agriculture Organization  of the United Nations (FAO) revealed the world food import bill jumped to nearly $2 trillion in 2022 amid soaring inflation due to several factors, including currencies depreciating against the US dollar, the war in Ukraine, and La Nina-related climate change.  FAO's Food Outlook expects the tab for imports of wheat, rice, maize, vegetable oils, and all other farm goods will jump to an all-time high and about 10% increase over the record level of 2021, although the agency expects demand destruction in response to elevated food prices and depreciating currencies against the US dollar.  Food-import bills are skyrocketing for developing countries, with most already in insurmountable debt. Many of these countries are quickly burning through dollar stockpiles at the fastest pace in two decades to defen

Excess Mortality in England Since March 2022,  Link   There has been a significant increase in heart attacks and related health issues since the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines. . . Why are so many English people dying recently from non-covid diseases? And why do the UK government refuse to  launch a public inquiry into vaccine safety; and why would an inquiry be a waste of taxpayers’ money into the death of 24,440 people? An average of 1,564 extra deaths per week occurred in England during October 2022—Throughout 2020 it was 315.—Throughout 2021 it was 1,322.
