Canada's Culture of Death

Aside from the occasional runs across the bridge in college to Windsor to sneak back cases of real Canada Labatt beer, my experience with our neighbor to the north has been very limited. But I have watched with everyone else as Justin Trudeau and his government have indulged in a veritable orgy of progressive policies that seem to be designed to turn Canada into a horrible hybrid of Airstrip One and the city in "Logan's Run." One of those policies has been the implementation of euthanasia. This particular bit of nastiness has been chronicled elsewhere on these and other pages, but it bears revisiting

I remember reading how Gov't officials in Canada,as well as wealthy,would come to US for treatment because their system is so broken.

Back in 2009, when Obamacare was in its infant stage, I made a business trip to Victoria, BC. I was staying with one of my clients when she got bronchitis. I was stunned that she was required to get permission from a government office so that she could call a doctor. The kicker was that she didn’t understand why I was against socialized medicine in the US. If she’s still alive, she’s probably longing for those good old days of 2009.

India Scoffs at Coal ‘Transition’:
‘Not Happening in Foreseeable Future’

India burns so much coal that it has an entire cabinet-level ministry devoted to coal. The Ministry of Coal informed the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, this week that India will not be transitioning to any alternative form of energy in the “foreseeable future.” The ministry said more mining and importing of coal will be necessary to meet the energy needs of the growing industrial economy. The Hindustan Times noted that no one participating in the just-concluded winter session of Parliament acted like India’s promise at the COP28 climate conference to begin eliminating fossil fuels was sincere.

As Joe Biden settles in to enjoy his New Year's vacation, Americans are left to ring in 2024 by dealing with a tanking economy, crime rates through the roof, and conflicts abroad. The people of East Palestine, Ohio, have the added bonus of still coping with recovery efforts stemming from the February 3, 2023, Norfolk-Southern train derailment that left their small community a virtual toxic chemical dump. The toxic chemicals that poured into the air and water supply in East Palestine read like an alphabet soup of hazardous waste. Vinyl chloride, ethylene glycol, ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate,

Gun ownership among women is, if you'll forgive the play on words, booming. That makes sense; a firearm is the only thing that can put a 110-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound, would-be rapist. With rising crime rates in our big cities — and elsewhere — along with some high-profile pro-Second Amendment court cases, it should come as no surprise that women are arming themselves. Gun ownership among women has skyrocketed over the last few years, and in 2023, women from coast to coast used their firearms to thwart attacks or crimes. Fox News Digital reported on legally armed Americans throughout the year who have defended themselves,

Not many of my leftoid friends are still speaking to me.

At the end of the year, we are on the razor's edge of many things that soon may blow up. Americans are far beyond President Joe Biden's serial untruths of some eight years that he never discussed Hunter Biden's various get-rich-quick schemes. All were predicated on the perception of foreign interests purchasing from the Biden family the influence of then-senator, vice president, and possibly soon-to-be President Joe Biden. The Bidens now risk exposure to criminal charges of multimillion-dollar tax fraud, perjury, influence selling, and bribery as congressional committees and a special prosecutor unravel years of tangled-up quid pro quos. A newly indicted Hunter remains reckless and unpredictable.

Former U.S. Rep.

In Texas, a hunter found out that God not only answers prayers, but sometimes, He might even answer in an extraordinary way. In a viral video making the rounds on social media, a hunter in Texas is seen giving his testimony on how God answered his prayer by getting a closer look at a bald eagle. It all started when the hunter went out to hunt near a pond and spotted an eagle swooping down to catch a fish. The man in the video then prayed, “Lord, I sure would like to get close to that eagle because sometimes I feel like you don’t always hear me

Maine has become the center of national attention after its Secretary of State, Sheena Bellows, ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from the state’s presidential ballot. (snip) In response to Bellows’ ruling, Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesman, issued a fiery statement condemning the action as a partisan effort to sway the upcoming election: The Maine Secretary of State is a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat who has decided to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden. We are witnessing, in real-time, the attempted theft of an election and the disenfranchisement of the American voter.

Florida lawmakers are finally addressing a loophole that allowed squatters to trash property owner Patti Peeples’ residence, terrorizing her and costing her almost $40,000 in damages. The legislation, House Bill 621 which was sponsored by Republican Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele, is a long time in coming for the Jacksonville resident but will hopefully stop squatters from moving into a home, proving to be next to impossible to evict. Many other property owners in the Sunshine State have been victims of unscrupulous individuals who don’t seem to fear the law at all. Two women broke into Peeples’ vacant rental property and set up house.

Strzok said, “My biggest concern is that we have the presumptive Republican nominee for president who has and continues to engage in calls for violence from his supporters. Look, there’s an interesting data point here. Just shortly after the Michigan Supreme Court indicated they weren’t going to take this up, Donald Trump took to Truth Social and lauded their decision, talked about how they were absolutely right.

An LA-based company, Channel 1, claims it will become the first news network to utilize AI-generated news anchors starting next year. The Daily Mail reports that Channel 1, an LA-based news channel hoping to launch in the near future, is planning to introduce AI news anchors. These AI-generated anchors, set to debut as early as February on ad-supported streaming platforms like Crackle, Tubi, and Pluto, represent a significant shift in news broadcasting. The AI anchors are created using a blend of digital doubles and animated faces, designed to mimic real human behavior and expressions.

Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched at Times Square and then in a walk from Zuccotti Park to the World Trade Center, continuing protests in a week where anti-Israel marchers have shut down traffic at JFK Airport. Chants of 'Biden you will see, Palestine will be free' and 'Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?' was part of the rhetoric used by the protesters. Effigies representing children killed in Gaza were seen after people took part in silent procession which was organized partly by elderly Jewish groups through Midtown Manhattan earlier Thursday.

The arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens is spurring “the erosion of the quality of life” for New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) says. During a press conference alongside Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston (D), Adams warned again that New York City is falling into disarray as a result of illegal immigration. Every day, President Joe Biden’s administration releases about 5,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior — many ending up in New York City, where they can work off the books, receive protection from the city’s sanctuary policy, and enjoy free housing

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has been slammed for refusing to say that slavery was the main cause of the Civil War. Haley, the 51-year-old former governor for South Carolina, blundered her way through the question at town hall debate in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday night. The former UN representative jokingly told the audience member 'well, don't come with an easy question', before claiming that the Civil War was fought for freedom and ideological differences in how governments ought to work.

In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor. There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable. Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post. Raffensperger’s office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.

Maine's secretary of state has said she would welcome the Supreme Court reviewing her decision to disqualify Donald Trump from the primary ballot, admitting the move was unprecedented. Sheena Bellows on Thursday ruled that Trump could not be on their ballot, in a move which mirrored the December 19 decision made by Colorado's Supreme Court. Both Colorado and Maine found that Trump had participated in an insurrection, and so was ineligible to hold office, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
