#SKNDPLDR: On TrapsThe final official debate of the Saskatchewan NDP's leadership campaign was the first I had the opportunity to see, and I'd hoped that it would result in some meaningful and constructive contrast. But instead, the debate and its aftermath looked largely to push both candidates toward the key traps for their respective campaigns. For Carla Beck, that trap was the tendency to retreat constantly into tiresome talking points and vague generalities. Beck was obviously comfortable with the debate stage, and appears to have stuck with the plan she brought to the debate. But the nature o... read more

How Biden lost the HispanicsGeorge Neumeyer: The victory of Republican Mayra Flores in a historic Texas Democratic stronghold on Tuesday punctuates President Joe Biden’s problem with Hispanics. His woke agenda appears to be driving them into the arms of Republicans. Born in Mexico, Flores won the special election for the 34th Congressional District on a staunchly conservative platform of “God, family, and country” — a repudiation of Biden’s fixation on secularism, libertinism, and identity politics. Her victory is no doubt setting off alarm bells in Democratic circles, but it can’t come as a complete surpr... read more

FDA Allows Pfizer and Moderna to Inject Babies and Toddlers with COVID-19 Vaccines as Florida is Only State that Refuses to Participate
As expected, the FDA rubber stamped Pfizer's and Moderna's request to start injecting babies and toddlers between the ages of 6 months and through 4 years old with toxic and deadly COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The FDA is simply a branch of Big Pharma and this was just a formality, as the Biden Administration had already purchased 10 million doses for this age group weeks ago, and began distributing them to the states in preparation.

This is Not a “Recession” – This is a Total Collapse of the Financial System to Bail Out the Globalists Who Want to Enslave Us

WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE INTENDED BENEFICIARY OF ALL THAT ANTI-DEMOCRACY GROUNDWORK?*The Washington Post* asked twelve of its pundits to speculate on whether Donald Trump will run for president again. Sensibly, most said yes. But Greg Sargent thinks Trump won't run: What Trump’s embrace of the “big lie” shows above all else is how much he hates to lose. Trump not only knows he lost in 2020; he also knows he won in 2016 only because of a string of flukes — he faced an unexpectedly weak candidate after their party had held the White House for two terms. Risking a second loss to Biden is unthinkable: It would confirm his decisive rejection by the public. And Trump wo... read more

Dim the lights, the party’s almost over. But that is not the end of the affair.

Biden's failed policy objectivesPower Line: ... So how’s that “end fossil fuel” working out for you Joe? The *Wall Street Journal* reports this afternoon: President Biden came to office vowing to cut dependence on fossil fuels, putting environmentalists in charge of energy policy and asking Congress for billions of dollars to fund a transition to cleaner energy. Seventeen months later, *greenhouse gas emissions are up, renewable-power development has slowed, and oil and coal consumption are on the rise*. . . *Domestic oil and gas production has increased since Mr. Biden came into office and is projected to r... read more

Russia a strategic loser in UkraineFortune: Russia has already “strategically lost” the war in Ukraine and is a “more diminished power” on the world stage as a result of the invasion, according to the U.K.’s defense chief. Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, who heads up the British armed forces, told PA Media in an interview published Friday that the Russian president had used 25% of his country’s army but achieved only “tiny” gains. “This is a dreadful mistake by Russia,” he said. “Russia will never take control of Ukraine. Russia has strategically lost already.” Radakin explained that Moscow had been forced to abandon i... read more

Untitled* A profile of the elite* * This is truly disgusting* I have just finished my freshman year at the University of Chicago, a school boasting an annual sticker price of $80,000 and an acceptance rate of around 5 percent. I don’t match the typical UChicago student profile. I lived in a single-mother household in a small Tennessee town for most of my life, my mom worked two jobs, and 50 percent of my high school graduating class didn’t go to college.
