DHS eyes more welfare for legal immigrants as Supreme Court hears challenge - Washington Times:
The Biden administration has moved to make it more attractive for immigrants to sign up for welfare, laying down a marker just days before the Supreme Court is slated to take up the issue in a legal challenge seeking to restore stricter Trump-era rules.
The Homeland Security Department released a proposal to raise the bar for becoming a “public charge.” Joining programs such as Medicaid won’t be counted against most immigrants, it said.

- What the murder of Canadian democracy means to the rest of the world.
I also wish to warn what happens historically at this moment in the decline of a formerly democratic nation, and what the murder of Canadian democracy — at least for now — means to the rest of the world.
Parliamentarians in Canada do not seem to understand that now their former colleague, Justin Trudeau, can arrest not just truckers, whose lawful protest has been declared illegal, but also the Parliamentarians themselves.

Flashback: In 2013, Trudeau Chose Communist China As Country He Most Admired Besides Canada | The Daily Wire
Flashback: In 2013, Trudeau Chose Communist China As Country He Most Admired Besides Canada | The Daily Wire:
When Trudeau was asked during a “Ladies’ Night” Liberal fundraiser what country he most admired besides Canada, he answered, “There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar.’”

...Therein lies the fundamental tension within the climate movement.
- Exaggerating and impractical, the climate movement undermines its cause and everyone suffers, says an environmental writer
To acknowledge progress ...—would require abandoning pseudo-scientific claims that hard biophysical boundaries loom, and jettisoning utopian fantasies of global government and a world powered entirely by renewable energy.
Moreover, it would mean giving up self-flattering notions that the future of humanity hangs on the outcome of an epic struggle between corporations and environmentalists.
...More than a decade after COP15, poor nations are still waiting for the modest pledges of technology transfer and climate-adaptation aid made at Copenhagen.
...More than a decade after COP15, poor nations are still waiting for the modest pledges of technology transfer and climate-adaptation aid made at Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, Western nations and development institutions, egged on by the climate movement, will proceed with efforts to choke off virtually all finance for fossil-fuel-based infrastructure in poor countries.
It’s easy pickings for Western environmentalists, UN functionaries and political leaders alike, and there is no one capable of stopping them.
...Most importantly, a wiser green-activist movement would recognise that when it places Western leaders between impossible demands and the realities of their domestic political economies, it is the poor, not the activist class, that end up paying for it...Read all.

"In a previous article, I wrote about some alarming statistics showing increases in cardiovascular events among athletes, including heart attacks, strokes, and sudden deaths in 2021.
The likely conclusions derived from this data point to vaccine-induced injury as the primary cause, which has ultimately been a consequence of the mass-vaccination campaigns employed on a global scale last year.
In a transparent ploy to manipulate public attention away from the obvious 'elephant in the room', mainstream journalists have recently been busy churning out headlines and a slew of articles to explain away these disturbing trends.
In a piece by The Mail Online, "leading sports cardiologist" Professor Sanjay Sharma affirms that the sudden onset of cardiovascular injury in two high-profile footballers last year "had nothing to do with Covid or the vaccine." How Sharma can be sure of this conclusion escapes me, because he wasn't pressed to justify it with any evidence whatsoever. In fact, it is purely unfounded speculation on his part...Read all.

A BLM Bail Fund Is Freeing Heinous Criminals in Kentucky. Now, the GOP Has a Plan To Stop It.:
Thanks to support from some of the biggest names in national Democratic politics, the Louisville Community Bail Fund—which is tied to the city's Black Lives Matter chapter—has raised millions of dollars since its inception in 2019 to secure the release of local arrestees. But the group is hardly focused on low-level offenders. Since the summer of 2020, the fund has bailed out dozens of repeat criminals accused of reprehensible crimes.
Never trust the lying media. NEVER!-----The absurd ‘Russiagate’ Pulitzer of the NY Times and Washington Post
The absurd ‘Russiagate’ Pulitzer of the NY Times and Washington Post
It led to a dramatic misunderstanding, suggesting that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to help sway the 2016 election — a grand conspiracy that we now know never existed.
- “For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest,” the citation from the Pulitzer Prize board begins, “that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the president-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.”
It led to a dramatic misunderstanding, suggesting that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to help sway the 2016 election — a grand conspiracy that we now know never existed.
- Oh, it was “deeply sourced,” in that deep-state Democratic bureaucrats, furious that Trump had won the White House, were falling over themselves to talk anonymously to reporters.
- And it was “relentlessly reported,” or at least just relentless, as the newspapers were obsessed with taking down the Trump administration.

"A photograph came across my screen today that perfectly encapsulates what's wrong with modern, traditional education...
In it, we see that a child gave a correct answer to an ambiguous question, only to be told his answer was wrong because the teacher was unable to see beyond the confines of her answer book.
Things like this turn students into the kind of mindless drones who think as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does.
