The Foundation of American Folly

The Ford Foundation has spent decades tearing the country apart, tax-free

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking to entice people to rip them down. While many onlookers might look like “ordinary people,” she says, the Jews have “their little people all around the city,” surveilling others. Sarsour is there to deliver such rhetoric in part because she’s been paid to be there: her nonprofit, MPower Change, has received $300,000 in grant funding from the Ford Foundation “to build grassroots Muslim power.”

Against Juneteenth

The purpose of the holiday was abundantly clear from the outset, to anyone who cared enough to actually pay attention.

The fourth annual observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day passed with less fanfare than the first, but the usual cast of politicians and journalists still made a point of paying obeisance to the latest high holy day in the new liturgical calendar. A headline in the Hill trumpeted: “Black advocates to use Juneteenth to demand political change.” President Joe Biden noted the day’s significance as a “mark of the end of our original sin, slavery.” Nancy Pelosi commemorated the holiday as “a reminder of the racism and cruelty that stains our history.” In a video address, Sen. Raphael Warnock took the opportunity to solemnly remind Americans of “how far we’ve come, and” — of course — “how much further we still need to go.”

Europe: Nazis’ ‘Do Not Buy from Jews’ 2.0

Since October 7, when Iranian proxies Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad committed unspeakable atrocities against men, women, children and babies in Israel, large parts of the international community have been in a frenzy over the Jews’ puzzling inclination to defend themselves.

This preference, however, not to simply let themselves be murdered by allowing Iran — through Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah — to continue inflicting death and misery on them, has led to several countries to break ties with Israel. Not only that, but other countries have recalled their ambassadors, amid demands for boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS), isolation, and general exclusion from world society of the world’s only Jewish state.

Canada’s population topped 41 million. But is this the rise before the fall?

But Bank of Nova Scotia economists Rebekah Young and Anthony Bambokian aren’t so sure.

Canada’s overall population growth is “still going hot,” Bambokian said.

Young said the growth rate is trending stronger than last year and last year was a record-breaking one.

“We think it’s going to be really tough for them to reign in the numbers so dramatically in such a short time frame,” she said. “We are not seeing it in terms of data flows just yet.”

Reid’s Revelation: U.S. is an ‘Oligarchy’ that Promotes Machine Guns

MSNBC’s foremost gun-hater, Joy Reid, was particularly aggravated by the Supreme Court’s decision that struck down a Trump administration-era ban on bump stocks by the ATF. On Tuesday’s episode of The ReidOut, she invited former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich and Slate writer Mark Joseph Stern to denounce the apparent “oligarchy” that they alleged was working behind the scenes to orchestrate the destruction of America’s democracy.

Public servants uneasy as government ‘spy’ robot prowls federal offices

A device federal public servants call “the little robot” began appearing in Gatineau office buildings in March.

It travels through the workplace to collect data using about 20 sensors and a 360-degree camera, according to Yahya Saad, co-founder of GlobalDWS, which created the robot.

“Using AI on the robot, the camera takes the picture, analyzes and counts the number of people and then discards the image,” he said.

Is Boeing’s Cursed Starliner Going to Be Marooned Up There?

It’s a good thing the International Space Station is relatively comfy because a couple of houseguests just got their stay extended by a few extra days — again.

The crew of the Boeing Starliner’s first manned flight test, mission commander Barry Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, were informed by NASA this week that there would be another four-day delay in getting home back to Earth, now scheduled for June 26. NASA needs “a little bit more time to look at the data” behind ongoing helium leaks in Starliner’s maneuvering thrusters and “do some analysis, and make sure we’re really ready to come home,” NASA Commercial Crew Program Manager Steve Stich said Tuesday.

Toronto hospital flies ‘pride’ flag behind Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in display called a ‘disgrace’

After one of Canada’s oldest Catholic hospitals placed a “pride” flag above and behind a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a concerned local resident said it is a “disgrace” the flag is being flown outside a Catholic facility.

The issue over the “pride” flag concerns St Joseph’s Health Centre, founded in 1921 by the Sisters of St. Joseph and is part of Unity Health Toronto.

This diseased hospital killed my Mom.

Trudeau’s Mass Immigration Scam: Canada Has Strong Population Growth But Poor Productivity: OECD

… The OECD emphasizes how oddly slow Canada’s growth is despite these conditions. Real GDP advanced just 1.1% in 2023, nearly a third of the population growth. At the same time, they also point out that unemployment climbed to 6.1% in March as the country added more people than jobs.

Like a degenerate gambler, Canada found a little growth from its rising population. Then, it placed a bet to go all-in on that growth, despite diminishing returns that placed it in a worse situation than it was previously trying to solve.

Donald Trump’s upcoming vice-presidential pick attracts attention and speculation daily. If a new poll for The Post is any indication, it’s likely to be much ado about nothing.
