Disinformation-Peddling Media Had Multiple Meetings with German Government

The managing director of Correctiv, the self-proclaimed “independent investigative journalism network” that recently ran a disinformation piece against the AfD—falsely accusing the party of planning to deport millions of Germans with migrant backgrounds—met with officials from the federal government on numerous occasions, apparently to “exchange ideas” on what coverage is desirable.

Correctiv’s false reporting—deliberate or not—on what has come to be known as the “Potsdam Meeting” precipitated a wave of anti-AfD demonstrations across Germany and prompted calls for the left-liberal traffic coalition to initiate banning proceedings against the increasingly popular party.

Siavash Safavi: Canada’s clueless immigration policy will not end well

Failing to properly vet newcomers will hinder social cohesion

I came to Canada as a political refugee. In my home country of Iran, I was arrested, tortured and later received a prison sentence for my student-organizing activities. I had a month to surrender to prison. Instead, I decided to leave the country with the help of a smuggler. I escaped through the mountains, partly on horseback, to Turkey, where I applied for asylum through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Canadian TV, Film, Music Industries Ask MPs for Protection Against AI

Canada’s actors, directors and musicians are sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence, saying it threatens their livelihood and reputations.

Groups representing people who work in TV, movies and music are calling on the Liberal government to protect their industries in its AI legislation.

Actors’ union ACTRA says unbridled use of AI could result in people’s names and images being misused in artificially crafted videos—or even replace human actors entirely.

People lose jobs everyday to AI. Whether it’s a labourer replaced by an industrial robot or a clerk by software and no one says boo.

The entertainemnt business is owed no special treatment.

NFL fans show the proper disdain for the so-called ‘Black National Anthem’

That the NFL went all-in for Black Lives Matter makes sense, given that almost 60% of pro football players are black. It even went all-in for playing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before games, including yesterday’s Super Bowl. It’s a lovely hymn in its own right, but there’s a problem: It’s billed as “the Black National Anthem.” That’s why Rep. Steve Cohen, an uber-woke House member from Memphis, later tweeted out his disappointment that Super Bowl fans insisted on there being only one National Anthem. Tweeters soon set him straight.

Get Ready For The Cringy Campaign To Make Biden Seem Lucid

Moments after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Joe Biden’s account mocked conspiracy theorists by tweeting a “Dark Brandon” meme—the one where the doddering president features laser eyes—with the words, “Just like we drew it up” underneath. Sure, it’s cringy and dumb, but a cartoon might be the only way to make the president appear operational.

How China Built BYD, Its Tesla Killer

China’s BYD was a battery manufacturer trying its hand at building cars when it showed off its newest model in 2007. American executives at the Guangzhou auto show gaped at the car’s uneven purple paint job and the poor fit of its doors.

“They were the laughingstock of the industry,” said Michael Dunne, a China auto industry analyst.

Nobody is laughing at BYD now.

The company passed Tesla in worldwide sales of fully electric cars late last year. BYD is building assembly lines in Brazil, Hungary, Thailand and Uzbekistan and preparing to do so in Indonesia and Mexico. It is rapidly expanding exports to Europe. And the company is on the cusp of passing Volkswagen Group, which includes Audi, as the market leader in China.

We can’t keep ignoring Biden’s frailty

Anyone paying attention to American politics knows perfectly well that President Joe Biden has long passed peak mental acuity.

Throughout his term, we have seen him falling up the stairs and wandering off stages in the wrong direction. We have watched footage of him at press conferences, slack jawed, blinking or staring vacantly into space. He often gets his words jumbled up, too. In 2022, he announced that Russian troops were pulling out of Fallujah, Iraq, when he meant to say Kherson, Ukraine.

Scary.

How the Kennedy Family Caused Today’s Immigration Crisis

And brought Obama’s father to America

When LBJ signed the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act into law, JFK had been dead for two years, but it, more than the Cuban missile crisis or the race to the moon, was his real legacy which still impacts us today when there are no more Americans on the moon or nukes in Cuba.

At the signing, LBJ paid tribute to “the vision of the late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy”. Little did the 36th president know that the 44th president, born to a radical Kenyan student, was already growing up in this country due to JFK’s personal intervention during his 1960 presidential campaign.

Report Says Green Transition is Crumbling—But Will Eurocrats Let Go of Their Pet Project?

National governments are in gradual retreat from their “hard promises” to wean their economies off fossil fuels, according to a new report. Since the 2010s the failures of green technologies to become economically viable have prompted nations to dilute or postpone established environmental targets, says British journalist Ross Clark in “The Retreat from Net Zero,” commissioned by research group Net Zero Watch.

Migrants Face Cold, Perilous Crossing From Canada to New York Fleeing Trudeau’s Canada

In a dilapidated farm shed in New York’s rural North Country, the belongings of a migrant family who quietly took shelter one night were still visible months later: some clothing and children’s shoes, stiffened by the cold and a thin blanket of snow.

Thomas Brassard recalled his surprise when he saw the family — a husband, wife and two children — emerge from the shed as he started his truck in the early morning.
