Cash Assistance Boosted Infants’ Brain Development, Study ShowsWhen mothers with low incomes received just over $300 in monthly cash assistance during the first year of their children’s lives, their infants’ brains displayed more high-frequency brain waves when they reached 12 months old, a major new study by a team of investigators from six U.S. universities and released this week by the National Academy of Sciences shows. These types of brain waves are associated with higher language and cognitive scores and better social and emotional skills in children as they grow older.

Can F-35 Stealth Fighters Deployment Stop a Russian Invasion of Ukraine?*Kris Osborn* *Ukraine Conflict, Europe* Should any kind of U.S. and allied F-35 fighter force be massed or gathered in Eastern Europe within reach of Ukraine, it could lead Russian military strategists to “pause” when contemplating the price of an invasion. As the United States and its NATO allies contemplate force positioning on the European continent in response to threats of a Russian invasion into Ukraine, there is a key variable seemingly lurking beneath the radar. What about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter? Should any kind of U.S. and allied F-35 fighter force be massed or g... read more

What is Putin up to?* Joel Gehrke:* *US accuses Russia of trying to regain 'former empire' as UN clash looms* Putin appears to be using Ukraine as his excuse to stop NATO expansion into Eastern Europe. Ukraine is no serious threat to Russia nor are the Eastern European countries who want to be a part of NATO. NATO is a defense pact and not an empire. Putin's response to the expansion of the defense pact is to threaten aggression which makes those people see the need for NATO even more. ... ..."The questions on the table on Monday really go to the heart of the UN Charter — whether one country can... read more

The Truckers And Fox NewsFox News has picked up the story on the truckers convoy. Kieran Levitt writes in *The Toronto Star*: The convoy has received substantial air time from U.S. right-wing outlets and big-name American political commentators on social media all week. Some American media experts say the story fits a perfect mould for an audience in the United States that has been fed an anti-vaccine narrative for months by outlets such as Fox News looking to make Biden look bad and, in turn, Donald Trump look good. In short: vaccines, restrictions and Biden — bad. Trump and “freedom” — good. The websi... read more

Russia calls on U.S. to withdraw nuclear weapons from Europe, cease joint nuclear drills with non-nuclear alliesThis is a serious issue, perhaps the most serious of issues in Europe, but coming as it does immediately on the heels of Russia’s prior list of demands being resolutely rejected by the U.S. and NATO yesterday, the prospects of Washington and Brussels positively responding to this one either don’t appear good. read more

Featured CommentSDA regular Petter O’Donnell wrote something exceptionally thought provoking last night: The percentage who might support the convoys may well be fairly low (my guess 20 to 30 per cent) but then another 50 per cent are probably fed up with the mandates but just hope in the abstract that they will go away because… Continue reading → read more

Secret govt unit used ‘unethical’ fear tactics to push Covid rules compliance – mediaA parliamentary committee is reportedly set to investigate “scare ads” created by the UK government’s shadowy ‘behavioural insights’ team to “nudge” the public into obeying Covid-19 restrictions.

Canadian ducks trucks*Jeffrey Tucker:* *Justin Trudeau Ducks the Great Trucker Revolt* The resistance reveals itself always in unexpected ways. As I type, thousands of truckers (numbers are in flux and are in dispute) are part of a 50-mile-long convoy in Canada, headed to the capital city of Ottawa in protest against an egregious vaccine mandate imposed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They will be joined upon arrival by vast numbers of protestors who are defying the restrictions, closures, and mandates of the last nearly two years. The triple-vaccinated Trudeau, meanwhile, has decided that he h... read more

Biden nominee would have Americans freezing in the darkWashington Examiner: Oil and gas industry groups are coming out strongly against a top Biden Federal Reserve nominee who has called for the financial sector to pull investment away from fossil fuels.

Iran’s Corruption of Justice Cannot Go Unpunished*Struan Stevenson* *Iran, Middle East* The West must send the clearest possible message to Ebrahim Raisi. His crimes will not be forgotten or forgiven. Human rights activist Narges Mohammadi was sentenced to eight years of additional imprisonment and seventy-four more lashes after a perfunctory five-minute trial in Tehran in late January. It is yet another disgraceful chapter in the shameful history of the theocratic Iranian regime. Mohammadi is vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center, led by the Nobel prize winner Shirin Ebadi. News of Mohammadi’s sentence was rel... read more

The future of the expanded child tax credit isn’t looking good. The new credit, which mandated direct payments for most American families each month between July and December of 2021, was brought into being by the American Rescue Plan Act last spring. Multiple studies have found that the program helped alleviate child hunger and poverty, and the direct payments may even improve brain function in babies.
