As we previously reported, the police in Ottawa moved in this morning on the Freedom Convoy protesters. They had arrested a couple of the organizers Thursday. 
The police arrived with their names covered, so they couldn’t be seen on their uniforms, and with tow trucks that the government had said they would conscript into service under the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 

Some of the trucks had the names of the companies covered over and without plates, and at least one driver had a mask covering his entire face, to obscure who he was. 

These are not people proud of their actions...Read all!

Sen. Josh Hawley Rejects Biden Nominee Nina Morrison Straight To Her Face | The Daily Caller: 

Hawley fired back by arguing the piece praises Gardner as a member of a “cohort of prosecutors that seek a new approach to justice, and in particular seek to reform current tough-on-crime practices.” Hawley stated that he actually agreed with the characterization, saying that these prosecutors’ practices were “pro-crime.”

The Missing Link in Rising Depression Rates? | Intellectual Takeout
"...it’s no secret that depression is on the rise. 

According to a Columbia University study from late 2017, “depression increased significantly among persons in the U.S. from 2005 to 2015, from 6.6 percent to 7.3 percent.” 

Given that this is a “significant” increase, it’s even more alarming to hear the depression numbers for teens. 

In that same time frame, teen depression rates rose from 8.7 percent to 12.7 percent.
What’s driving this increase?

...But a new study gives another interesting explanation: depression may be related to a lack of religion...Read all.

Canada's Justice Minister: Trump Supporters Could Have Accounts Frozen

Canada's Justice Minister: Trump Supporters Could Have Accounts Frozen

• Canada’s Justice Minister, David Lametti, has told Trump supporters who donated to the “Freedom Convoy” to “be worried” about having their bank accounts frozen.

"Speaking with CTV News, when Lametti was asked if regular citizens who donated to the “Freedom Convoy” protests in opposition to the vaccine mandates should be worried about having their assets frozen by the government, Lametti singled out pro-Trumpers. 

The reporter asked: You just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who maybe are funding a terrorist. I just want to be clear here, sir. A lot of folks say, ‘Look, I just don’t like your vaccine mandates and I donated to this, now it’s illegal, should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account?’ What’s your answer to that?
“Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who’s donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, they oughta be worried,” responded Lametti.

Dimming the IQ of America | Intellectual Takeout

• Americans and Europeans are getting dumber.

"At least that’s the conclusion David Solway reaches in his piece “The Decline of Intelligence in the West.”

In the last century various studies have shown the average IQ in Western countries dropping by about 14 percent, Solway reports. He points readers to these investigations and offers a score of examples illustrating this decline, ranging from video interviews of college students who know next to nothing about the history of our country to leaders who say “corpsemen” instead of “corpsmen” when referring to combat medics.

Solway then looks for reasons behind this decline. Why in our new age of technology and advanced science are we losing our capacity to think and reason?

Various theories have been proposed to account for accelerating neural descent, ranging from the Dewey-inspired ‘progressive education’ agenda working its leveling passage from the turn of the 20th century to the decrepit public schools and failed universities of the present day...Read all!

"​More cops were killed in the line of duty during President Biden’s first year of office than any other year since 1995 — and a law-enforcement group says the driving force is the growing anti-cop sentiment, according to a new report.
...“We believe it’s a combination … of the George Floyd protests — riots, if you will; a general feeling of a preference for less law enforcement; and less prosecution and less policing,” Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund​ ​and a 20-year police veteran​, told Fox News.​..Read all.

Five Things Justin Trudeau Said About Emergencies Act - Louder With Crowder

Five Things Justin Trudeau Said About Emergencies Act - Louder With Crowder: 

Justin Trudeau declared war on his own people. Or, rather, those Canadians who hold views that oppose his own. The Canadians he says take up space and won't be tolerated. Canadians are protesting against the government overreaching with the emergencies powers they gave themselves during the pandemic. Trudeau's response is to declare activation of the Emergencies Act to take even more emergency powers and violate even more rights. Everything the content creators at CNN accused Donald Trump of doing because he tweeted about maybe considering it, Trudeau is ACTUALLY doing. Something with which the content creators at CNN and elsewhere in the media are okay because they hate the same people Trudeau does, i.e. citizens who dare question the government.
