Rex Murphy: Misinformation on disinformation from a confused Justin Trudeau

It is well to begin with an axiom. As all word-lovers know, an axiom is an agreed upon truth or principle, a proposition from which starts a chain of reasoning or argument. The framers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence began with an axiom — “We hold these truths to be self-evident” — and from those “self-evident truths” proceeded to the whole of their historic assertion.

Today’s axiom, as opposed to Thomas Jefferson’s simple assertion of “self-evident” (axioms do not need to be true, just agreed upon), has to its advantage that it accords with logic and can actually claim to be a, or the, truth.

Why I Don’t Worry About Nuclear Waste

On a visit to the site of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown in Japan in February, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York did something refreshing: She discussed radiation exposure and nuclear waste without fanning fear. The radiation she got from her visit — about two chest X-rays’ worth — was worth the education she received on the tour, she told her 8.6 million Instagram followers. She then spoke admiringly of France, which, “recycles their waste, increasing the efficiency of their system and reducing the overall amount of radioactive waste to deal with.”

Losing Tucker Carlson

His show’s cancellation removes from the national debate a fearless voice for a perspective hard to find elsewhere.

On Monday night, Fox News aired a segment about the threats that Matt Taibbi had received from House Democrats, and how journalists like him increasingly must choose to stay silent under pressure or face the consequences. The report was spot on—except, on that day of all days, it felt out of place. What made that day special, of course, was that Fox News itself had just fired Tucker Carlson, its highest-rated single personality.

How the West Is Helping Train China’s Military

The PLA enjoyed their stay in Canada.

China is reportedly recruiting former air force pilots from the West to understand better how Western military aircraft and pilots operate. Up to 30 former UK military pilots are believed to have traveled to China since 2019 to work as instructors in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

“They are a very attractive body of people to then pass on that knowledge. It’s taking Western pilots of great experience to help develop Chinese military air force tactics and capabilities,” an unnamed Western official said. “Money,” he added, “is a strong motivator.”

You Won’t Believe the Fire Sale Price on This San Francisco Office Tower

Arguably the most beautiful big city in America looks more and more like a ghost town as San Francisco learns yet another painful real estate lesson.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that a “fire sale” on the 22-story 350 California office tower could see the $300 million building sell for as little as $60 million.

Not a good sign.

He was arrested at a Toronto airport in 2011 as he was about to travel to Egypt and later join the Al-Shabaab, a jihadist militant group in Somalia.

Rumble – Relies on Malware To Drive Site Traffic, According to Culper Research

… In a hard-hitting report, Culper Research has made several striking allegations today against Rumble. First, while taking aim at Rumble’s claimed figure of 80 million Monthly Active Users (MAUs), the short-seller cites “independent website traffic and app data” to conclude that the platform has overstated its user base between 66 percent and 108 percent. For instance, SimilarWeb has estimated that Rumble saw a unique web-based audience of just 28.9 million users in Q4 2022.
