PSA – Don’t Eat Bats!

At least 50 people die in Congo from mystery illness that kills within 48 hours

More than 50 people have died in north western Congo from an unknown illness which has been killing victims within 48 hours.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has dispatched a team of experts to the area to take samples and try to determine the cause.

The WHO’s Africa office said the first cases in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and quickly died following haemorrhagic fever symptoms, Associated Press reported.

Bombshell FOI Emails Expose Secret Vaccine Experiments on Inuit Children

For three years, Canadian officials used Inuit children as guinea pigs for an experimental RSV vaccination program – without parental consent and without the knowledge or involvement of the Inuit population. This shocking revelation, buried in newly uncovered Freedom of Information (FOI) emails, is completely unrelated to COVID-19 – yet it raises damning questions about the government’s approach to public health experiments on Indigenous communities and all Canadians.

Artists release silent album in protest against AI using their work

More than 1,000 musicians – including Annie Lennox, Damon Albarn and Kate Bush – released a silent album on Tuesday in protest at the UK government’s planned changes to copyright law, which they say would make it easier for AI companies to train models using copyrighted work without a licence.

Under the new proposals, AI developers will be able to use creators’ content on the internet to help develop their models, unless the rights holders elect to “opt out”.

The artists hope the album, entitled Is This What We Want?, will draw attention to the potential impact on livelihoods and the UK music industry.

Pop music is already less musical and more formulaic than in any previous era.

The age of autotune has not produced much that AI could not do better.

Bonus – No more political statements by the likes of Madonna!

NEW: Former CNN host Don Lemon tells Megyn Kelly to go "f*ck herself" because she was mean to Joy Reid, reminds his viewers that Reid is a woman.

Lemon tried claiming that Kelly was a misogynist because she trolled Reid, who sadly lost her low-rated show.

Long before Trump, diverting water to the U.S. has been an ambitious vision for the continent

The study imagines North America the way an engineer might, assuming that engineer was equipped with divine powers. First published in 1964, the concept of a North American Water and Power Alliance was an attempt to solve the design deficiencies of a continent that delivers great quantities of water to northern regions where few people live, while parching the sunny latitudes that provide an ideal home for suburbs and lettuce farms.

To fix it, some replumbing would be required, with the power of human technology – including, perhaps, nuclear-powered excavation – substituting for the tectonic forces that so badly misdirected natural water flows.

Donald Trump and his threats are the dominant topic at federal Liberal leadership candidates’ debate

MONTREAL — The federal government must not deal with Donald Trump the way it did before, agreed Liberal candidates vying to replace Justin Trudeau, as they sparred over who is best suited to deal with the biggest threat to Canada’s economic security.

The U.S. president was not on stage, but he was front and centre throughout the two-hour, French-language confrontation between the four remaining Liberal candidates, as they took occasional aim at the Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre but directed most of their barbs at Trump and his aggression towards Canada.

BBC Gaza documentary cameraman appears to celebrate October 7 attacks

Uncovered tweets of Hatem Rawagh raise further questions about film accused of being propaganda for Hamas

A cameraman on the BBC’s controversial Gaza documentary appeared to celebrate the October 7 massacre, The Telegraph can reveal.

Hatem Rawagh, who was listed as an additional cameraman in the credits of the film, posted two tweets apparently praising the worst terror attack in Israel’s history.

In one of the posts on X he appeared to applaud the killing of an Israeli soldier, sharing a video of a gunman which he said should be watched “a million” times.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that the BBC did produce Hamas propaganda.

Musk Calls to Congratulate Leader of German “Hard-Right” Party

The hard-right Alternative for Germany might not have done as well in Sunday’s election as its leaders had hoped, but its groundbreaking performance was enough for a congratulatory phone call from Elon Musk.

Alice Weidel, the chancellor candidate for the party, known by its German initials, AfD, told journalists on Monday morning that she had slept through a call from Mr. Musk, the world’s richest man and a top adviser to President Trump. When she looked at her phone on the morning after her party won 20.8 percent of the vote, she said, she had a missed call from the United States, which turned out to be from Mr. Musk, who, she said, “congratulated me personally.”

THE HORROR!

Lockdowns Cost Small and Medium-Sized Businesses $60 Billion in Pandemic’s First Year: StatCan

Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses lost about $60 billion in the first year of pandemic lockdowns, says the country’s national statistical agency.

In a report published on Feb. 18, Statistics Canada said about 47 percent of all small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—businesses with annual salary expenses of less than $1.5 million—“experienced a drop in gross profit, totalling a loss of nearly $60 billion” from 2019 to 2020.

If Trump Wants Canada, Here’s How He Gets It

President Trump offered Canadians the deal of a lifetime — to join the U.S. and be welcomed as equals, as full citizens with all the rights that status entails. Canadian business would have tariff-free access to the world’s largest market. Individual Canadians would instantly be better off by replacing the weak Canadian dollar with the greenback, by getting lower taxes, lower gas costs, lower housing costs, better health care, better everything.

President Trump hasn’t made so generous an offer to anyone else. Yet instead of feeling honored, and responding in a spirit of generosity, most Canadians reacted peevishly and belligerently.

Vatican Thinks ‘Charity’ Means Championing Democrat Causes And Taking Money To Flout Immigration Laws

America’s Catholics are facing a crisis of authority.

The social and economic realities of mass migration contradict the Vatican’s facile theologizing on open borders. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in accord with Pope Francis’ globalist conceits, opposes President Donald Trump’s resolve to curtail illegal migration. Catholics are caught between fidelity to ecclesial leadership and obedience to the just laws of our own country.
