A new book takes on the shocking conditions in Canada’s 'Third World' When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s father was PM, it was said in western Canada that he yearned to be the supreme head of an undeveloped country—like his friends Fidel Castro of Cuba and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania. So he set about achieving that objective at home. There are never exact comparisons, but Argentina comes close. With resources roughly equivalent to Canada’s, in 1945 that country ranked among the world’s richest. The slide gathered momentum under Juan Peron. Similarly, in 1995 The Wall Street Journal nominated Canada as an...

Without the Washington Post hype, Carlson, in reality, is just another talking head whose fame has gone straight to his wobbly head. And not a very impressive one at that Two years on, Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson has jumped aboard the full-to-the-gunwales Anti-Trump boat. The news of Carlson’s having jumped aboard the louder than any protest Anti-Trump boat surfaced one day after the mainstream and social media used the funeral of President George H.W. Bush to gang up on the president the media live to hate.

Conservatives must also take the political game as seriously as the leftists do. In this country, conservatives still outnumber liberals, but you would never know it by the voting tallies As Special Counsel Robert Mueller racks up the guilty pleas for minor infractions by supporters of President Trump unrelated to Russian Collusion and ignores the crimes committed by members of the FBI, DOJ, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it should come as no surprise that Conservatives are playing in the wrong game. Even after Republicans won the White House, Senate and House of Representatives they acted as if...

It is evident that Kamala Harris and Larry Wallace have closely intertwined careers It is no secret that U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris has her eye on a run for the Presidency in 2020. Yet Larry Wallace, a senior staffer for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) reportedly resigned on Wednesday over the discovery he was involved in a sexual harassment lawsuit and $400,000 payout to the victim while working for then California Attorney General Kamala Harris. And Kamala Harris claims to know nothing of this. Sen. Harris’s spokeswoman claims Harris has no knowledge of allegations of sexual harassment against her top aid—a...

U.S. taxpayers pick up nearly a quarter of the United Nations budget each year but the world body is so anti-American despite our global leadership role critics have long wondered why we remain a member. Case in point: On Thursday UN members rejected a U.S. proposal to condemn Iran proxy Hamas for its serial acts of terrorism, mostly against Israel. If a majority of the UN’s members hate anyone more than the U.S., it’s Israel. The resolution was about as straightforward as it gets. It would have condemned Hamas for “repeatedly firing rockets into Israel and for inciting violence, thereby...

Winning: As the usual suspects pick apart the high-profile meeting between POTUS Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aries on Saturday, there were definitely some positive things — for both countries — that came out of it. Already Western pundits and commentators are downplaying what was discussed and, more importantly, what was agreed upon as little more than a reprieve: In exchange for POTUS holding off imposing 25-percent tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods come January 1, Beijing agreed to immediately begin “not yet agreed upon, but very substantial” amount of...

Newsom's "whether you like it or not" video was played over and over, likely helping passage of Prop. 8 -- only to be overturned by an activist Judge. California Gov. Elect Gavin Newsom is casting some big #MeToo stones forgetting that his house is all glass. California Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman has been accused of sexual harassment and assault. Staffers told the Los Angeles Times that during his time as party chair, Bauman, who is gay, would “regularly make sexually explicit comments in the workplace to men and women, including remarks about sexual acts, his and other staffers’ genitalia,...

United Nations "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" Beginning in 1977, the United Nations has observed the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” every year on November 29th. This is the date in 1947 when the UN General Assembly approved its partition resolution envisaging the establishment of two states – an independent state of Palestine and an independent Jewish state of Israel. The Palestinians and their surrounding Arab neighbors rejected the original two-state solution with their usual response - violence. The creators of the Jewish state were willing to accept the compromise. Israel subsequently offered the...

Ocasio-Cortez’s wild-eyed claims comparing her victory’s significance to the moon landing and wiring America for electricity saying 'we've done what we thought was impossible’ are too absurd for words The swearing-in ceremonies of the One Hundred Sixteenth United States Congress will be the biggest show on earth, making way for the first time since the DNC Barack hoopla of 2008, the January 3, 2019 Birth of a Star. The politicians and their Hollywood instructors are all in rehearsal right now; will continue rehearsing through the upcoming holiday period, and the birth of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the House Floor will be...

Heads up to President Donald Trump, it's not just southward and at the D.C. swamp that you should be looking for saboteurs, but northward to the world's longest undefended border At the end of the day it won’t be thousands of defiant, “Yes we can!”-shouting, mostly military age, Central and South America males who will bring the curtain down on America’s 242-year-old sovereignty, but the super-rich, covert, purely political United Nations. For the last three months, the mainstream and social media have been force-feeding the U.S. president and its population a steady diet that several caravans of poor people escaping...

If the President has to shut down the government to get the necessary funding, he should do it without hesitation We have heard the chants for three years, “Build the Wall!” It was the number one reason why Americans elected Donald Trump as President in 2016. Unfortunately, it is the most glaring unfulfilled promise of the Trump presidency. Although the President wants a border wall, he needs Congress to fund the construction. Until now, Congress has only provided an anemic $1.6 billion for the border wall. This pathetic amount is nowhere near the $25 billion that is actually needed to...

Even a casual follower of campus happenings has probably heard of the term “intersectionality” by now. Coined by critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw of UCLA and Columbia Law Schools, intersectionality originally was “a way to help explain the oppression of African-American women.” In Crenshaw’s own words, intersectionality is

It’s time to bring the curtain down on the yakety-yak of America’s enemies, Mr. President, and to replace it with a resolute and thorough investigation that exposes, for once and for all, all of those working to bring America down via sabotage File the photo-shopped picture going viral from Drudge depicting most of the bad apple political perps working overtime to claw back Election 2016, with the caption: “Now that Russian Collusion Is A Proven Lie, When Do The Trials for Treason Begin?”, under ‘W’ for ‘Wishful Thinking”—because that’s all it really is. Millions are looking longingly at Barack Obama,...

Thank God for this Exceptional Country of ours. And, pray that you (and I) will somehow survive. The line in the sand has been drawn. Pray for our President Donald J. Trump. Pray for our Country. My goal here is not to scare you but, as a broker of written words, allow me to remove the ‘s’ in scare, and know that I ‘care’ for you and to seriously consider what is posted below and make the necessary preparation. You may want to begin with a prayer. The title as you may recognize is the English translation of the popular...

In the human heart, the Baby in the Crèche who is the forever wondrous King of Kings, remains eternal True life is not only often stranger than fiction, it’s once in awhile, also more beautiful than anything turned out in fiction. The following is a true story about how a friend in Decatur, Illinois, without even being aware of it, brought back to me the life and times of the late great Daniel T. Zanoza, originator of the now 11-year-old Springfield Nativity Scene—once the only such display to ever stand in any state capitol building in any state across the...

"Do you really want America to wind up like California?" Because soon, if we don't put the brakes on, we will have earned the empathy of a thoroughly busted and DESPERATE, socialist Venezuela. Were you arguing with your liberal friends and relatives over Thanksgiving dinner? You know you did - or at least you have. Do you have liberal friends/relatives? I sure do. Those dunderheads will occasionally, unwittingly send out danger signals, rather like stroke victims (“Your eyes are going in different directions! Curl your tongue for me!”). Some of our liberal friends and family are worth keeping, of course....

“Do you really want an America that can deny you a job for everything you’ve said on Twitter or Facebook? Do you really want to give up your right to speak just because you made the mistake of starting a business?” For nearly 40 years, Jim Riley and his family have lived on their 760-acre apple farm in Oak Glen, California, in San Bernardino County. Jim and his wife built a Colonial-inspired home on the farm in 1994, and were thinking about doing 18th century dinner theater. Shortly thereafter, the Rileys were approached by parents of local elementary school students...

Silent on sexual abuse among the clergy, Pope Francis, who has been loquacious on global warming/climate change and immigration, is just as much a politician as Barack Obama is Why is Francis, the fully Vatican-backed 266th Pope ignoring what the Catholic blogosphere is calling “the biggest crisis in the Catholic Church since Reformation” amidst continuing irrefutable proof that hundreds of Catholic clergy engage in regular sexual abuse and get away with it? No pontiff can hide proof of truth like a lighted candle under a bushel, nor will refusing to discuss a scandal ever make it go away.

We cannot separate the influence of the church from the foundation of the state no matter how many times atheists and their corrupt lawyers sue. People in general do not seem to agree on much these days, split between their own confused ideas and the latest narrative promoted by the deceitful main stream media, beholden to the globalist ideology of Democrat Socialism and Cultural Marxism. Often the thought processes of the voting masses are incoherent because their knowledge, the reality, and their basic instincts of survival and safety are perverted by the globalist agenda but they are too ignorant to...

Socialism is not the end game - one world government ruled by the globalist elite is the real intent and grand prize The Fabian Society, a British think tank founded in London in 1884, is named after the Roman general Quintus Fabius Maximus whose battle strategy was one of harassment and attrition rather than violent military battles against the Carthaginian army under general Hannibal. Fabius had much in common with the great Chinese warrior and strategist Sun Tzu who wrote the extraordinary military treatise The Art of War in the 5th century BC. According to Sun Tzu, “The supreme art...
