Trump is right to turn the screws on Canada | Blaze Media
Trump is right to turn the screws on Canada | Blaze Media:
Canada has long pushed to dominate US energy markets, using sanctions and trade deals to secure its position. But Trump’s 'America First' policies threaten its strategy.
Chrystia Freeland, a potential Canadian prime minister, called President Trump’s 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum “an act of economic self-mutilation by the United States.” She delivered her anti-American rant in the New York Times.
Freeland relied on Ottawa’s oldest tactic — convincing Americans that their economic well-being depends on Canada’s. In reality, Canada’s diplomats have long undermined U.S. economic interests.
The USAID Nightmare Continues
Democrat mega-donor George Soros, the lead financer of the institutional left in America, used U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID) disbursements to fund color revolutions in the Balkans, according to U.S. spending hawks. - Mia Cathell 
USAID gave several Soros groups millions of American tax dollars that allegedly went toward stoking social unrest in the Balkan Peninsula, including collaborative efforts to destabilize Macedonia's democratically elected center-right government and ultimately overthrow it...
Has Climate Science Drifted into Pseudoscience?
Stamp Collecting or Science? The Perils of Unquestionable Truth - Dr. Matthew WielickiThe scientific method is the cornerstone of discovery and advancement in every branch of science...
Is climate science still science?
- But what if a branch of inquiry strays from these standards, becoming more dogmatic than inquisitive? What if, rather than hypotheses being tested, they become axioms that cannot be challenged?
- In such cases, science risks devolving into something else… a pseudo-scientific enterprise propped up by consensus of ideology rather than robust empirical evidence.
Nowhere is this shift more apparent than in climate science.
- We are constantly told that the science is settled.
- That there is no debate.
- That anyone who dares to challenge the dominant narrative, no matter how qualified, no matter how data-driven, is dismissed as a "denier," lumped in with conspiracy theorists and flat-earthers.
I’ve watched this transformation unfold in real time.
Over the years, funding institutions, professional societies, and journals have moved away from fostering inquiry and toward enforcing ideological boundaries.
- If you’ve ever wondered why dissenting voices in climate science seem to have disappeared, it’s not because they’ve been proven wrong.
- It’s because they’ve been systematically excluded.
Is climate science still science?
Or has it become something else entirely?...
A couple days ago Trump claimed that Zelensky is widely unpopular in Ukraine and that his approval rating is 4%.
The very next day the MSM collectively called Trump a liar and they all parroted the same number, Zelensky has a 57% approval rating. - Colleen Miller took out the trash with this. - Patricia
- CNN brought out their little fact checker...57%. ABC, CBS...57%.
- So I look up where this number came from.
It came from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
Guess when they released their poll results.
The day after Trump made his claim. 
...
...I also checked out another polling company that does work in Ukraine called SOCIS.
- They've done most of the exit polling on all the major elections in recent years in Ukraine and they have Zelensky at 16%, claiming that he would not win an election if there was one...
- But nobody has a clue what's really going on there and yet a few hours after Trump says something the entire MSM ecosystem states as a fact what Zelensky's approval rating is 57%.
Our media can't even agree on what Trump's approval rating is.

VIDEO: Stephen Miller torches media with 'civics lesson' at White House press conference | Blaze Media:
"It is true that many people in this room for four years failed to cover the fact that [former President] Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country. It is also true that many people in this room who have used this talking point, that Elon is not elected, fail to understand how government works," said Miller.
"So I'm glad for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. A president is elected by the whole American people. He is the only official in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation, right?" he added.

WATCH: Marco Rubio Reveals Why the Trump Administration Is So Ticked at Zelensky.
Unfortunately, it seems like Zelensky got very used to being able to play the press during the Biden years, to essentially receive blank checks with no real mechanism to ensure Americans are paid back. Believing he could carry over that strategy to the Trump administration was a huge mistake.
Donald Trump does not care about pressure from the mainstream media or Europe...
Fleet Street has been running headlines this week such as “Starmer says Zelensky is no dictator after calling Ukrainian leader in Trump rebuke,” which seems odd, since after Zelensky cancelled elections in 2023, Newsweek reported, “Ukraine Sure Doesn’t Look Like a Democracy Anymore.”...

Trump's FBI Nominee Clears Huge Hurdle, Secures Major GOP Endorsement:
On Tuesday evening, the Senate voted along party lines to advance the nomination of Kash Patel, the man that Trump wants to head the FBI, replacing Christopher Wray.
The 48-45 party line vote came after one of the lawmakers on the fence — Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy — confirmed that he would be advancing the nomination, according to The Hill.

Israeli journalist @Tamir114:
- “If the full, horrifying truth about the murders of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, uncovered in the last 24 hours, were laid bare for all to see, not a soul in this nation would dare back any deal that leaves Hamas in control.
- The IDF spokesman, with good reason, held back, revealing only a fraction of the grim details.”

USAID allegedly 'responsible' for scheme that shipped billions in American cash to Taliban * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
USAID allegedly 'responsible' for scheme that shipped billions in American cash to Taliban * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
In the aftermath of a decision by President Donald Trump's DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, essentially to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development and transfer a few remaining workers and responsibilities to the Department of State, a columnist has released a stunning report.
It charges that USAID ultimately was responsible for the delivery of billions of dollars in American cash to the Taliban.
A description of the events that transpired, leaving the Taliban with $2.9 billion in American cash, was provided by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, at the Gatestone Institute.
JD Vance Delivers Blistering Response to Historian on Ukraine That Has People Cheering
Folks on the left seem content with continual war, with us pouring out support Ukraine with no end in sight, with seemingly no accounting. - Nick Arama
- And that if you objected to it or wanted more of an accounting, it was somehow supporting Russia.
- You can believe Russia's invasion was wrong but still see that that this can't go on without a resolution.
- But now under Trump, we're finally addressing that question and talking about options that Biden and many in Congress just didn't want to ever address...

"The truth is that not even a big and centralized government can successfully perform these functions. - Lynn Chu
This fact has been demonstrated over and over again—in the most extreme form, in the communist countries of Russia and China, where Marxist doctrine holds that citizens proceed on the principle 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.'
- In those societies the principle never worked.
Instead, government officials became 'the new class' of privileged autocrats, enslaving the masses.
In our own country, one social welfare program after another has turned out to have effects opposite to those that were intended by the well-meaning people who supported them.
- Good intentions alone are not enough.
Governmental employees, no less than employees of private businesses, will put their own interests above the interest of others.
Calling them public servants does not alter that fact."
--Milton and Rose Friedman, Tyranny of the Status Quo (HBJ, 1983-4), pp. 38-9.

Western Civilization is still in the grip of a virulent mind-virus: The ideology of civilizational suicide
This ideology is a set of doctrines teaching that humanity itself is a grossly overgrown invasive species; the most destructive of which is Western Civilization. - Patricia Anthone 
- It teaches that our way of life is both evil and toxic and that our only hope lies in revolutionary deconstruction; a return to some imagined Utopia in which humans were innocent, primitive and rare. (Eden?)
- Augmenting this godless religious teaching, is a socio-economic worldview (informed by Marxism) which divides the world into oppressors and the oppressed.
- Primitive, zero-sum thinking drives the view that those who succeed in any way do so at the direct expense of others.
This pathological combination is drummed into kids' heads beginning in preschool....
