Amazon will now pay you $10 in credit for a scan of your palm print

It all started in September 2020, when Amazon introduced biometric palm print scanners at its cashier-less stores across the US, including Amazon Go and Amazon Books. Dubbed Amazon One, the scanners presented itself as a payment verification system where customers could merely wave their palm prints and zip their way through the checkout booth.

Why the delta variant is spreading COVID-19 so quickly — and what that means for Canada

The highly contagious variant (new window), which was first discovered in India in late 2020, has spread around the world and now accounts for the majority of cases in Canada and various other countries.

The recent spread in the United States has led the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to recommend that Americans wear masks in areas with substantial transmission regardless of vaccination status.

New FBI Initiative Will Put “Hate Crime” Quotas On Local Law Enforcement

The Department of Justice and the FBI have a message for local police departments: start charging more white people with hate crimes or invite an investigation.

Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta told an assembly of FBI agents yesterday that they are now tasked with hounding police departments in their district if they do not register any “hate crimes.”

Doug Ford says he’ll hop into a school bus and drive kids to class this fall if he has to

Is there anything Doug Ford can’t do? By his own estimation, not really.

The Premier of Ontario has added “driving a school bus” to his ever-growing list of self-perceived capabilities, atop such talents as scolding yahoos, baking cheesecake, rescuing coyotes, vlogging trips to McDonald’s, seeing the future, fixing little red wagons, going up ying-yangs with firecrackers and coming at things “like an 800-pound gorilla.”

Democrats Quietly Vote to Allow Illegal Aliens to Work as Congressional Staffers

Nasty Nancy Pelosi and Democratic lemmings have quietly added a rule to the budget bill to allow illegal aliens to work as congressional staffers. Per Fox News House, Democrats added the language to the massive budget bill that “includes language to permit DACA recipients, Dreamers, to be able to work for Congress and other legislative branch agencies.”

How Canadian tourism sustains Cuba’s army and one-party state

While foreign arrivals in Cuba have crashed this year, no other nationality has stayed away as much as Canadians, according to Cuban government statistics.

Overall visits are down about 95 per cent compared to 2019, but Canadian visits have plunged by 99.5 per cent. (Russia, by contrast, actually sent more visitors in 2021.)

That is hugely damaging to Cuba’s economy, because (in normal years) far more Canadians enter and leave Cuba than citizens of any other country — including Cuba itself.

Highly Vaccinated Iceland & Gibraltar DESTROY COVID-19 Vaccine Passport Narrative

It’s been drilled in our heads that this a “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated.”

The mainstream media and health overlords have painted a picture that casts unvaccinated individuals as lepers of society.

Dirty people responsible for all of the world’s problems.

Super spreaders taking up valuable space in the hospital.

But that narrative is falling apart thanks to the world’s most vaccinated countries.

THOMPSON: It is long past time to make vaccinations mandatory

The take-a-way from those who choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is clear…they not only don’t care about themselves…they don’t care about anyone else.

Forget the argument that they have some inalienable right not to be vaccinated. They don’t. It’s a worldwide public health issue…a matter of life and death. Our various governments impose laws for the overall public good to protect us from lots of things…wearing seat belts and not drinking alcohol while operating vehicles, for example. Don’t follow the rules…and there are penalties.

The Anti-Science, Woke American Medical Association In Lobbying To Have Sex Removed From ALL BIRTH CERTIFICATES

The sex of a child at birth is determined by genetic make-up, and those genes are expressed in a variety of ways both immediately and over the course of a person’s life, obviously. Genitalia, hormones, bone structure, muscle density, average height and weight, amount of body hair, reproduction, and many many other facets of human biology, brain chemistry, and lifetime are determined or affected by one’s gender. This both medical and scientific fact.

Nevertheless, the American Medical Association thinks that’s bad and mean to say and so they would rather just pretend those things aren’t so, because that’s a very medical and scientific thing to do.
