Transgender Activists Disrupt YAF Screening of Chloe Cole Documentary at University of Utah; Police Shut Down Event A screening of Damaged: The Transing of America’s Kids, a Daily Caller original documentary starring Young America’s Foundation speaker Chloe Cole, was abruptly shut down by campus police Wednesday evening after leftists took over the venue and began loudly chanting. For more than 15 minutes, nearly 70 leftist protestors who packed themselves into the room chanted “hey hey, ho ho, transphobia has got to go.” The University of Utah’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter is preparing to host a campus lecture featuring Cole, a victim of the Left’s gender ideology, at the end of this month. https://yaf.org/news/transgender-activists-disrupt-yaf-screening-of-chloe-cole-documentary-at-university-of-utah-police-shut-down-event/ HOMESCHOOL: The Fight Against the Woke School Agenda “Woke” culture has become so prominent in the American education system that it would not be surprising to learn that schools were replacing the once popular rhyme “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” with “sticks and stones may break my bones but opinions I disagree with can make me feel unsafe so they must be silenced.” Take the case of 12-year-old Liam Morrison, a student at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts. This March, Liam was told to change his shirt or be sent home. School staff are reported to have said his shirt targeted a “protected class.” Liam says he was told his shirt was making some students feel unsafe. Did Liam’s shirt advocate violence? No, Liam’s shirt simply stated that there are only two genders. https://www.richardcyoung.com/politics/education-politics/homeschool-the-fight-against-the-woke-school-agenda/ Maine Builds New Rent-Free Apartments for Migrants Paid by State’s Taxpayers Maine taxpayers are funding new apartments in Brunswick for border crossers and illegal aliens, providing at least two years of rent.

Trump 14th Amendment ballot eligibility challenger arrested on federal tax fraud charges John Anthony Castro, a long-shot Republican presidential candidate vying to have former President Trump removed from the ballot over the 14th Amendment insurrection clause, was arrested on federal tax fraud charges Tuesday – a day after a federal judge in Nevada threw out one of his lawsuits aiming to bar Trump from running. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-14th-amendment-ballot-eligibility-challenger-arrested-on-federal-tax-fraud-charges/ar-AA1mOxty Schumer warns Trump: Intel officials ‘have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you’ The new leader of Democrats in the Senate says Donald Trump is being “really dumb” for picking a fight with intelligence officials, suggesting they have ways to strike back, after the president-elect speculated Tuesday that his “so-called” briefing about Russian cyberattacks had been delayed in order to build a case. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/?p=1866424 Donald Trump Pledges to ‘Totally Obliterate the Deep State’ The former president said that the country would no longer be ruled by “entrenched political dynasties.” Americans would be put first “every single time, every single day,” as they were during his presidency, Trump said.

The panicked response of Democrats has ranged from anonymously leaking statements imploring President Biden not to run again to head-in-the-sand denials about his chances of winning. But by far the most dangerous and un-American tool in the Left's political arsenal is their unprecedented lawfare targeting Joe Biden's leading political opponent: President Donald J.

The prosecutors began accelerating their indictments only once Trump started to lead incumbent Joe Biden by sizable margins in head-to-head polls.

Shush! L.A. Times Editor Asks “Departees” Not to Criticize California on Their Way Out In an editorial fit for The Onion or the Babylon Bee, Los Angeles Times’ letters editor Paul Thornton wrote a column this week entitled “If you want to leave, fine. But don’t insult California on the way out.” The column acknowledges an exodus from the state, but sees the problem as former Californians sharing their experiences about what drove them from the Golden State. It is like Captain William Bligh asking the mutinous crew of the Bounty for a reference as they head for the lifeboats. Thornton wrote that “more than 800,000 Californians moved away in 2022, and many thousands more left last year. Often, the departees, cash in hand from the sale of their $1-million bungalows, feel the need to express disdain for their home state, and even some anger too.” https://jonathanturley.org/2024/01/23/l-a-times-editor-please-do-not-criticize-california-on-your-way-out/ California's exodus continues, with population dropping for the third year in a row, putting its political influence at risk California's population has dropped for the third year in a row.

Football comes first for Devon boy, 12, who scored IQ of 162 A 12-year-old boy who scored the maximum in an IQ test says football still comes first. Rory Bidwell, from Great Torrington, Devon, joined the ranks of Mensa after acing the Cattell III B test with 162, the top score for children. This is above what is believed to be a score of 160 for Albert Einstein. Rory is also a keen sportsman and said he would prefer a career in football because it is "what I love". Rory said he felt "really good" and "fantastic" after taking the test which his mother had suggested he take. "I knew nothing about Mensa before the test, no preparation," he said. "I found it quite, quite easy." He said he wanted to use his brain to his advantage and "do something great" in the future. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-68103402 How Trudeau bought the media The overwhelming bulk of Canada’s media is bought, and paid for, by the federal government. In particular, by the Liberal Party which has extended generous taxpayer subsidies to outlets that comply with its diktats. In its 2019 budget, the federal government rolled out nearly $600 million in subsidies for select media outlets that obtain the federal government’s approval. The latest $600 million cheque is meant to fill a blind spot in exerting government influence over the Canadian print and online media. https://www.westernstandard.news/features/how-trudeau-bought-the-media/article_58fdf7e6-39b9-5e78-a174-4a132b58a767.html Are Media In Canada Actually Owned By Canadians? To some degree, media output can be divided into two categories: that which is based on fact, and what is based on opinion. The latter is often presented as editorial opinion, more commonly known as “Op-Ed” articles. This is one of them. Cultural Action Party cannot answer the question as to whether Canadian media are controlled by non-Canadians. When we say “controlled” we are also referring to ownership. The story is relatively clear regarding CBC Corporation. Many Canadians realize they are a state-funded media company. As such, they recognize their bias toward Canadian liberalism, as well as our ruling Liberal government. https://capforcanada.com/are-media-in-canada-actually-owned-by-canadians/ Canadians support Trump over Trudeau: Spark Advocacy poll A recent poll conducted by Spark Advocacy has found that support for Donald Trump has grown in Canada since Joe Biden took office, with 33 percent of respondents saying they would vote for the former president over his successor if given the opportunity. https://thepostmillennial.com/canadians-support-trump-over-trudeau-poll Canada's top court backs Alberta challenge to Trudeau environment law Canada's Supreme Court dealt a blow to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government on Friday by ruling that a federal law assessing how major projects such as coal mines and oil sands plants impact the environment is largely unconstitutional. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canadas-top-court-rules-environmental-impact-law-is-largely-unconstitutional-2023-10-13/

Why Democracy Produces Incompetent Leaders – And How to Fix it Democracy doesn’t work. Plato thought it was a terrible system, a prelude to tyranny, giving power to selfish and dangerous demagogues. Watching what is happening these days in democracies around the world, it’s hard to disagree with Plato. Democracy appears to produce an abundance of incompetent and dishonest political leaders, who exploit people’s credulity and prejudices and thrive on emotion-driven discourse and fake news. This Impakter essay looks at the problems and proposes an easy fix – if only we had the courage to implement it. https://impakter.com/why-democracy-produces-incompetent-leaders-and-how-to-fix-it/ Incompetence of Trudeau Liberals is on full display The Trudeau Liberals appear to be trying hard to make themselves out to be the most incompetent government in Canadian history.

In fact, that person might be boasting about being an expert in this area. And yet their claims can be easily dismantled based upon how they answer next. That or who they are as a person makes it obvious they’re lying. There is a psychological phenomenon named after that called the Dunning-Kruger effect. It’s not a disease, syndrome or mental illness.

Science Reveals How Political Ideology Affects Friendships The famous Greek historian Herodotus said, “of all possessions a friend is the most precious.” And he was right, at least in part. Studies have shown that friendships bring us happiness and well-being, and not only when we’re young but also when we’re halfway through life and beyond. We ascribe high value to our friends, to the point that they become a pillar as important as family or a romantic partner. The difference between friends and acquaintances is the degree to which we self-disclose personal information. It’s when we become vulnerable and we open our souls to one another that friendship is born. https://medium.com/curious/science-reveals-how-political-ideology-affects-friendships-a-2020-study-9f6920a57928 Why Are Conservatives Happier Than Liberals? It may be one of the most surefire findings in all of social psychology, repeatedly replicated over almost five decades of study: American conservatives say they are much happier than American liberals. They also report greater meaning and purpose in their lives, and higher overall life satisfaction. These links are so solidly evidenced that, for the most part, modern social scientists simply try to explain them. They've put forth numerous possible explanations. https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2022/08/27/why_are_conservatives_happier_than_liberals_849615.html#! Study Confirms Telling Difference in Way Conservatives and Liberals Treat Friends A new study from the Survey Center on American Life shows that the “open-minded” mentality of many liberals is likely a bunch of hot air. The Survey Center interviewed 2,019 adults, reporting a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points, in its May 2021 American Perspectives Survey to analyze how the tense political climate impacts friendships. While only 15 percent of people have ended a friendship over political disagreements, there is a clear ideological tilt when the rift political differences can cause is broken down. “Democrats are twice as likely as Republicans are to report having ended a friendship over a political disagreement (20 percent vs. 10 percent). Political liberals are also far more likely than conservatives are to say they are no longer friends with someone due to political differences (28 percent vs. 10 percent, respectively),” the group explained. https://www.westernjournal.com/study-confirms-telling-difference-way-conservatives-liberals-treat-friends/ What Is The Real Definition Of A True Friend? True friends are usually those who offer you support, improve your quality of life, promote self-confidence, provide honesty and unconditional love, and help you progress mentally. It often takes time and effort to foster deep, healthy friendships. You might find new friends by joining various clubs and groups to find others who share your interests and values. Online therapy can be another way to learn about fostering healthy friendships and improving your overall well-being so that you can be a good friend. https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/what-is-the-real-definition-of-a-true-friend/

SHOT Show is all about the businesses of the shooting sports, hunting, law enforcement, and armed forces industries. https://shotshow.org/ CRPA and GOA Case Knocks Down “Sensitive Areas” In California In the case of May v. Bonta, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted a Preliminary Injunction, effectively blocking the enforcement of the “sensitive areas” provisions in Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) that severely restricted where gun owners could carry a firearm. The lawsuit was filed by YouTube star Reno May with the help of the California Rifle Pistol Association (CRPA), Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC). Another case filed two weeks after May was also decided by the same judge over the same issue. That case is Carralero v. Bonta and was filed by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Orange County Gun Owners (OCGO), San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO), and California Gun Rights Foundation (CGRF). Both cases challenged the constitutionality of SB 2, which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2023. SB 2 imposed a wide range of restrictions on the carrying of firearms in so-called “sensitive places,” such as public parks, restaurants that serve alcohol, and on private property where the owner has not posted that the carrying of arms is allowed. https://gun.net/2023/12/23/crpa-and-goa-case-knocks-down-sensitive-areas-in-california/?doing_wp_cron=1705683241.7394099235534667968750 Judge Issues Injunction Halting SB 2 Implementation In a HUGE ruling released just last evening, the Southern Division of the Central District of California issued an injunction halting enforcement of provisions of SB 2 that designates a wide variety of locations in the state as “sensitive places” in which a firearm could not legally be possessed. https://crpa.org/news/blogs/judge-issues-injunction-halting-sb-2-implementation/ Founding Fathers Quotes on Guns and the Second Amendment's Right to Keep & Bear Arms The Second Amendment is perhaps one of the most straightforward Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Yet, it remains one of the most controversial, mostly due to the clause regarding “a well regulated militia” – a topic we've written about before. While the freedom of association clause in the First Amendment is one of the most eroded in the Constitution, the Second Amendment is perhaps the most under attack. Few would argue in favor of repealing the First Amendment or even ignoring it because it is politically inconvenient. However, this is precisely what the champions of gun control advocate for – either radical abridgements of the Second Amendment or its direct repeal. Fortunately, there are also well-funded organizations fighting these forces in the American political sphere, but it is a tough and constant battle. https://ammo.com/articles/founding-fathers-quotes-second-amendment-guns-keep-and-bear-arms

Sure, black people can be racist, too Comedian Chris Rock recently got into trouble after posting a meme with a picture of Betty White, the former “Golden Girls” actress. “The first thing people say when a mass shooting is announced,” Rock wrote in the caption. The unspoken punchline: Bet he white. Some white critics called Rock a racist. But the comedian’s defenders invoked an old argument: He can’t be racist because he’s black. While others can debate whether Rock is a racist or not, the reaction to his meme raises a bigger question: Why can’t blacks be racist? https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/22/us/kendi-book-anti-racist-blake/index.html “Definitive Proof Reverse Racism Exists”: Starbucks Fired a Manager for Being White and Now They Have to Pay Her $28.3 Million A federal court has ruled that Starbucks must pay a former manager $28.3 million after they fired her for being White.

Trump Takes Center Stage at Iowa Victory Party Following Caucus Landslide Win Donald Trump achieved a significant victory in the 2024 Iowa caucuses, securing a substantial lead over his closest rivals, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. This win has solidified Trump’s position at the forefront of the Republican Party’s presidential nomination race.

Democrats did not hold a caucus this year in Iowa because they really don’t care and they think Iowans are too white – therefore bad. Iowa, where voter fraud is not yet a serious issue like it is in neighboring states, have voted twice for President Trump for president. The MSNBC crew led by Rachel Maddow fear “fascism” in America.

The 45th president had garnered 64.5 percent of the vote, with one percent reporting as of 8:42 p.m., according to the New York Times’ election results. He was beating his nearest opponent, Gov.

Understanding America: Is there a connection between faith and firearms? Gloria is 40 years old, a mother of five and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is also a gun owner. Gloria was one of the dozens of gun owners interviewed by two University of Kansas researchers, Abbie Vegter and Margaret Kelley, for a groundbreaking new study exploring the religious connection to gun ownership. “When asked about why she owned a gun,” the researchers write in “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Gun Ownership,” published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, “Gloria expressed a desire ‘to protect innocence.’ She related this back to the idea of the supernatural, sharing ‘I guess it goes back to good and evil.

From toys to animation, there is an attempt being made to make pedophilia more of a mainstream lifestyle choice. “A trend toward normalizing pedophilia is the latest manifestation of a dangerous understanding of human sexuality that has become more prevalent over the last 30 years.” This, according to a leading analyst of cultural trends, Carson Holloway, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska. https://drjohndegarmo.medium.com/how-the-normalization-of-pedophilia-continues-to-grow-cc7cd6483abf Epstein had ‘sex tapes’ of Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, witness claimed Jeffrey Epstein’s defence team sought to undermine the reliability of one of the witnesses against him by revealing she had claimed the billionaire had kept “sex tapes” involving prominent people, a new batch of unsealed documents has disclosed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/08/epstein-sex-tapes-prince-andrew-bill-clinton-richard-branson-witness-claimed Corey Feldman says pedophilia is Hollywood’s ‘biggest problem’ — not #MeToo Corey Feldman wants the world to know: Pedophilia is “Hollywood’s biggest problem.” https://nypost.com/2020/02/06/corey-feldman-says-pedophilia-is-hollywoods-biggest-problem-not-metoo/ Controversial documentary An Open Secret reveals paedophilia in Hollywood A revealing new documentary about the sexual abuse of children within Hollywood is hoping to lift the lid off an alleged network that implicates major industry figures.

GOP Reps From Swing States Announce Plan To Have Biden Removed From Ballot Three swing state lawmakers intend to show Democrats just how true the old adage of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” can be. Republican Reps. Aaron Bernstine of Pennsylvania, Cory McGarr of Arizona and Charlice Byrd of Georgia announced plans Friday to introduce legislation to have President Joe Biden removed from their states’ ballots. The move comes following the Colorado Supreme Court’s 4-3 decision Tuesday barring former President Donald Trump from appearing on their state’s ballot.

They deliberately muddy the definition of animal welfare and animal rights. Animal welfare is not to be confused with animal rights. AVMA Defines Animal Welfare vs. Animal Rights According to the American Veterinary Medical Board (AVMA), “Animal welfare is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal wellbeing, including proper housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention and treatment, responsible care, humane handling, and, when necessary, humane euthanasia. Animal rights is a philosophical view and personal value characterized by statements by various animal rights groups. Animal welfare and animal rights are not synonymous terms. The AVMA wholeheartedly endorses and adopts promotion of animal welfare as official policy; however, the AVMA cannot endorse the philosophical views and personal values of animal rights advocate when they are incompatible with the responsible use of animals for human purposes, such as food, fiber, and research conducted for the benefit of both humans and animals.” We at Western Justice want to share animal welfare practices from many western disciplines and will have a series of articles dedicated to each discipline and sport. https://cowboylifestylenetwork.com/animal-welfare-in-rodeo-livestock/

Here’s why 2024 could be the year student loan borrowers finally get forgiveness After the Biden administration’s gigantic setback at the Supreme Court over its sweeping student loan forgiveness plan, it almost immediately announced a new strategy to lower people’s debts. Borrowers could see that relief this year, experts say. However, far fewer people will benefit from the revised aid package, and the plan could be met with the same legal challenges as President Joe Biden’s first policy. Here’s what borrowers should know about student loan forgiveness prospects in 2024. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/02/why-2024-could-be-the-year-student-loan-borrowers-get-forgiveness-.html Biden is breaking the border on purpose — he wants mass amnesty The backlog of pending cases in the nation’s immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years.

The 1st North Americans were not who we thought they were For decades, we thought the first humans to arrive in the Americas came across the Bering Land Bridge 13,000 years ago. New evidence is changing that picture. During the last ice age, humans ventured into two vast and completely unknown continents: North and South America. For nearly a century, researchers thought they knew how this wild journey occurred: The first people to cross the Bering Land Bridge, a massive swath of land that connected Asia with North America when sea levels were lower, were the Clovis, who made the journey shortly before 13,000 years ago. According to the Clovis First theory, every Indigenous person in the Americas could be traced to this single, inland migration, said Loren Davis, a professor of anthropology at Oregon State University. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/the-1st-americans-were-not-who-we-thought-they-were Humans could have arrived in North America 10,000 years earlier, new research shows But some of the recent finds suggest that people made their way onto the continent much earlier. The discovery of human footprints in New Mexico, which were dated to around 23,000- years-old, is just one example, and Archaeologists have found evidence of coastal settlements in western Canada dating from as early as 14,000-years-ago. Fossilized footprints in White Sands National Park in New Mexico are now believed to be 23,000 years old, according to a new study. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/12/22/first-people-arrive-north-america/72004991007/ Lawyers in B.C. will be first in Canada required to study Indigenous issues, history, law society says https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-law-society-lawyers-indigenous-1.5389177 High income taxes make B.C. less attractive and productive https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/high-income-taxes-make-bc-less-attractive-and-productive Income tax pushes B.C.'s surplus to $5B above estimate, finance minister says https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ministry-of-finance-fiscal-update-2022-1.6664441 The Real Cost of Buying Luxury Cars in B.C.

7 Things to Know about Bethlehem, the Birthplace of Jesus Christmastime holds a sacred spot in the heart of every believer. As we unpack our nativity sets, practice our Christmas plays, sing our favorite carols, and reread the beloved scriptures—we’re transported back in time to a very different culture and setting where the Word first became flesh. The miraculous event that forever changed humanity’s future happened in an unlikely place, but not by accident. Where was Jesus born? The Gospels of Matthew and Luke state very clearly that the location of Jesus' birth is Bethlehem.

Trump suggested that the phrase was not commonly used during the Obama administration and that he made it a priority to restore its use. But Trump's claim has been a subject of debate.

The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara in Asia Minor. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships. https://www.stnicholascenter.org/who-is-st-nicholas

About half of the forgiveness, $2.2 billion for about 46,000 borrowers, announced Wednesday came from what the administration referred to as “fixes” to the federal income-driven repayment process, which the department says historically hasn’t counted progress toward forgiveness accurately, leaving borrowers who’ve been paying down their loans for more than two decades unfairly on the hook. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2023/12/06/biden-forgives-5b-in-student-loans/71828824007/ Voters flee blue states for red states but still want blue-state policies Increasingly, people are fleeing the high taxes of blue states to states run by Republicans or more centrist Democrats. But their voting habits aren’t changing, and so, they are turning their new states into the ones they left behind. California is the obvious example, and it’s reflected in the census. The Golden State could potentially lose a congressional seat for the first time in its history after the 2020 census. Others in line to lose seats include New York, Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan, while red states such as Texas and Florida could see their numbers rise. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/voters-flee-blue-states-for-red-states-but-still-want-blue-state-policies Democrats Fleeing Blue States, Infecting Red States With Failed Liberal Disease Several new reports find that America’s deepest blue states and cities are losing citizens by the millions as Democrats flee their failed socialist utopias for greener — or shall we say redder — pastures in the country’s successful, Republican-run states. But like rats bringing the plague everywhere they go, Democrats only bring their stupid liberal ideas and voting patterns with them setting the stage for ruining the very places they thought would be their refuge. https://lidblog.com/democrats-fleeing-blue-states/

When governments turn on their citizens Most western governments are grounded in the principle that the ultimate power resides with the people; they have the power of the ballot and wield their votes to decide who will govern. President Abraham Lincoln summed it up best in the last line of the Gettysburg Address when he said: “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” It’s a simple concept, but also the most powerful axiom on earth that all our rights come from God and therefore each of us was created to be free. It’s not a particularly controversial concept unless you are a dictator, king, or leftist craving unassailable power. The current tyrants may not be obvious like dictators and kings, but it has become obvious too many governments covet indisputable power. They see their own citizens as competition or even a threat to their rule instead of the source of their authority. https://www.renewamerica.com/columns/riehm/220207 Justin Trudeau's Mass Migration Scheme to Replace the Canadian Population Globalist Trudeau wants to add 1.3 million immigrants over the next three years to Canada, a country with a population of under 39 million. Erasing the Old Canada According to Dan Murray, the creator of the Immigration Watch Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has declared war against his country, people, and culture. The World Economic Forum-controlled leader is welcoming an unprecedented level of immigrants that will have a massive and irreversible demographic impact on Canada. Trudeau had already increased his country’s excessive immigrant intake to stratospheric levels. Now the Globalist leader is setting an even higher target: 1.3 million over the next three years on a population of under 39 million. https://rairfoundation.com/justin-trudeaus-mass-migration-scheme-to-replace-the-canadian-population-exclusive-interview/ Biden to offer legal status to 11 million immigrants, plans to stop border wall construction 1 in 3 Fear That Immigrants Want to Replace Americans, Influence Elections, Poll Shows With anti-immigrant rhetoric bubbling over in the leadup to this year's critical midterm elections, about 1 in 3 U.S. adults believes an effort is underway to replace U.S.-born Americans with immigrants for electoral gains. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/1-in-3-fear-immigrants-want-replace-americans-influence-elections-poll-shows/3679450/ Senate Democrats dig in against plans to stop the flow of illegal immigrants Senate Democrats and Republicans talked past each other on Thursday about border policies, further lowering the prospects of a deal on war aid a day after President Biden’s $110 billion request failed in the chamber. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a key Democratic negotiator, said the border issue is a lack of resources to process migrants — not decreasing the record 12,000 encounters that occurred in a single day this week. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/7/senate-democrats-dig-in-against-plans-to-stop-flow/

Does Capitalism Really Make Us Lonely? Presume the economic case for free markets is true: that capitalism makes us freer and richer, creates better jobs and greater opportunities, and helps us solve environmental problems. Does it make us happier too? https://news.yahoo.com/does-capitalism-really-us-lonely-100022185.html Liberalism is a Mental Disorder akin to Schizophrenia according to New Study A new survey of more than 8,000 people has found that those who identify with left-wing political beliefs are more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness. Ann Coulter’s “liberalism is a mental disorder” catchphrase has become something of a clichéd meme, but the data appears to support it. Carried out by Slate Star Codex, the online survey collected a wealth of data from respondents about their education, demographic, lifestyle and political views. The results show that people who occupy the farther left end of the political spectrum are more likely to have been “formally diagnosed with depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.” https://www.eutimes.net/2020/02/liberalism-is-a-mental-disorder-akin-to-schizophrenia-according-to-new-study/ Surprise: Capitalism makes people happier and more giving You must be lonely. The media say loneliness is everywhere in America. A Los Angeles Times columnist says, “There’s a mass loneliness crisis going on.” “Capitalism is Making You Lonely,” says Jacobin magazine. Vox claims, “Capitalism makes us feel empty inside.” As usual, the media are just wrong. “There’s no empirical data that actually shows that we feel more lonely now than we did in the past,” historian Johan Norberg points out to me. “When researchers compare people with previous generations at the same stage of life, they don’t find evidence of increased loneliness.” https://nypost.com/2023/12/03/opinion/surprise-capitalism-makes-people-happier-and-more-giving/ Canada’s legacy media is bought and paid for The Trudeau government has stuffed the pockets of Canada’s legacy media over the years by providing them with bailouts and other taxpayer handouts that have destroyed the objectivity and credibility of some of Canada’s biggest media outlets. For Canadians to get a real understanding of what’s happening, they have to look to outlets like True North or the foreign press. https://tnc.news/2022/03/09/canadas-legacy-media-is-bought-and-paid-for/ Who got paid from Trudeau’s $23.5 million media assistance fund?
