Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are touting the large crowds attending their “Fight Oligarchy” rallies hosted by as a sign that public opinion is turning against President Trump, but cell phone data reveals the crowds are filled with professional hired activists.

Data analyst Tony Segura offers a detailed breakdown of the mobile phone data that shows many of the devices present at those rallies belong to professional protestors who are being funded by five major activist groups.

FBI launches task force to nail criminals behind fiery Tesla attacks: ‘Domestic terrorism’

The FBI launched a task force Monday to try to nail the criminals setting fire to Tesla vehicles and charging stations — calling the acts “domestic terrorism” and eyeing an anarchy blog calling for more.

The bureau has received reports of 48 instances so far this month related to Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations and is investigating at least seven of them in conjunction with local law enforcement, The Post has learned.

Mark Carney’s ‘volcanic temper’ threatens to derail his election campaign

Politics is a game of patience. Politicians need to master the ability to control their words, thoughts and emotions, whether they’re speaking in front of small groups, large audiences or the media – and no matter what the provocation. If a politician lets his or her guard down too often, the voters are likely to catch on. At best, they will develop a reputation for gaffes. At worst, they’ll be considered unsuitable for high office.

Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, who called a snap election on Sunday afternoon for April 28, might be about to head down that path at lightning speed. It could ultimately lead to a very brief tenure as my country’s leader.

Poilievre proposes tax cut to save ‘modest income’ families about $1,800 per year

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced a proposal on Monday to cut the tax rate for the lowest income bracket, saving the average family about $1,800 annually.

The Conservatives plan to lower the rate for the bottom income tax bracket from 15 per cent to 12.75 per cent, which the party says would save the average worker about $900.

The War on White Male Fiction Writers

Compact magazine last week published one of the most disturbing yet culturally important articles of the decade. In The Vanishing White Male Writer, author Jacob Savage describes the cold war against male Caucasian fiction authors waged by the left-dominated publishing industry since, no surprise, the Obama years. Savage starts his piece with irrefutable proof of this outrage, citing the golden fleece for young novelists, The New York Times’ “Notable Fiction” list.

Things Are Getting Ugly. Be Ready

In 2018, I wrote a piece here at Bearing Arms about the dangers of the mob going after ideological opponents. At the time, left-leaning mobs were hounding any Republican they could find out and about, even if they were just trying to eat a meal. I was actually looking for something else I was sure I wrote here and stumbled on it, but it sort of felt important to look at it a bit in light of what we’re currently seeing all around us.

Canada’s new border problem — migrants trying to get out of the US

The family of migrants hiking across the US-Canada border under the cover of darkness through thick snow had apparently underestimated the harsh and unwelcoming forestland that links the two countries.

The parents had lost their shoes along the route, the toddlers were not dressed for winter.

Undetected by border patrol and with hypothermia starting to set in, the mother reluctantly made the call for help shortly after 3am.

Syria: Terrorists in Suits and Ties

In December 2024, after an offensive lasting less than two weeks that swept through much of Syria, a Turkish-backed Sunni militia led by Ahmed al-Sharaa ousted the Assad regime, which had ruled the country for 54 years.

From March 6-9 – unchecked by al-Sharaa’s professedly “moderate” interim government – his jihadist troops slaughtered an estimated 1,080 Syrians in 72 hours, apparently mostly civilian members of the minority Alawite religion. The Alawite sect, which split off from Shia Islam in the ninth century, is regarded by other Shiites as heretical. To people who practice Sunni Islam — the religion of al-Sharaa and Turkey — all non-Sunnis are infidels. Alawites are estimated to be up to 10% of Syria’s population, and the deposed Assad family belong to the sect.

Karma has come for Mark Carney — and Canada

This embodiment of globalism finds himself championing national sovereignty just as Trump eyes a North American union

Mark Carney is the very embodiment of the globalist ideal that ruled the world for a quarter-century after the end of the Cold War. Born in the mid-1960s in the far Northwest Territories, he grew up in Alberta in the kind of place previous generations would never have left. But the brilliant kid from a large Catholic family won a scholarship to Harvard and then took a masters and doctorate at Oxford.

I put my life in the hands of the self-driving taxis heading for Britain

Uber is trialling taxis without drivers across America – but how safe are they really?

The driver of the car beside me realises, too late, that he is in the wrong lane. As the lights change he darts forward, directly into our path. With a whirl of the steering wheel, my Uber swerves, just in time to avoid collision. It’s lucky, as it turns out, that there wasn’t anyone in the driver’s seat – I’m not sure human reflexes would have been fast enough.

I’m in downtown Austin, Texas, where I’ve spent the day trialling the latest revolution from taxi company Uber: self-driving cars.

Millions of people’s DNA up for sale as 23andMe goes bankrupt

Millions of people will have their DNA data put up for sale after major at-home testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy.

The company, which has tested more than 15m people’s genetic makeup using post-in saliva kits, including more than 250,000 in the UK, announced that it had entered US bankruptcy protection in an attempt to sell the company.

It said that data privacy would be an “important consideration” but added that it was seeking to “maximise the value of its assets”.

‘Offensive and false’: Alberta premier’s office denies Smith urged U.S. to interfere in federal election

… During a March 8 interview with Breitbart, a right-wing U.S. media company, Smith said the Conservative Party of Canada was far ahead of the governing Liberal Party in polls before the trade war. But the threat of “unjust and unfair tariffs” had boosted Liberal support.

Smith told U.S. administration officials that she hoped “we could put things on pause,” so Canada could get through an election, she told Breitbart. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is more aligned with the Trump administration’s agenda, Smith said.

A “a right-wing U.S. media company”? The Pol Pot Post is probably to the right of CBC.
