Secede from U.S. tops Texas GOP’s platform, calls for Legislature to place vote on upcoming election ballot

Texas GOP is calling for the state’s legislature to pass legislation placing Texas independence on the 2023 General Election ballot, ultimately calling for a statewide vote for Texas to return to an independent nation.

The plank, plank 225, received more than 80 percent of delegate votes during June’s convention. Plank 33, calling for State Sovereignty, received more than 88 percent of delegate votes.

“Texas Independence: We urge the Texas Legislature to pass bill in its next session requiring a referendum in the 2023 General Election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation,” Plank 225.

Plank 33 reads, “State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”

Canadian Professor Suspended for Comments Criticizing COVID Vaccination of Children

Patrick Provost, a professor at Université Laval who studies micro RNA — small molecules that help regulate genes — was suspended for eight weeks without pay on June 14 for comments he made last December at a conference.

Provost said he believes the risks of COVID-19 vaccination in children outweigh the benefits because of the potential side-effects from mRNA vaccines, which use messenger RNA created in a lab to teach cells how to make a protein.

Germany’s Largest Residential Landlord to Impose Heating Rationing For Tenants

Germany’s largest residential landlord which owns around 490,000 properties is set to impose energy rationing that will cut heating to tenants at night in response to falling gas imports from Russia.

Vonovia “will cut the heating output between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to 17 degrees Celsius,” reports Reuters, adding that the company hopes the measures will save up to 8% of heating costs.

Residents have already been informed that they will face huge spikes in heating bills as a result of Germany being forced to respond to Russia restricting supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

After Oil Production, Trudeau Works To Decimate Canadian Farm Industry

“The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.”

So states an article recently published in the Toronto Sun. When considering broader context of the war against carbon emissions, CAP arrive at an intriguing hypothesis:

With carbon reduction as rationalization, Justin Trudeau wields the power to control our national destiny. In the name of fossil fuel emissions, our Liberal government has the ability to destroy segments of our economy, and indeed entire industries.

The Dishonesty of the Gun-control Mob

Like the movie “Groundhog Day,” it happens again and again after a mass shooting, like the one at a July 4th parade near Chicago that killed seven people and wounded two dozen.

The professional anti-gun mob – i.e., liberal Democrats and the major media outlets – immediately spring into action and exploit the tragedy as much as they can.

As they did this week, they automatically blame guns, renew their calls for stricter gun reforms or dream about completely outlawing the private ownership of guns.

It doesn’t matter if the mass shooter was crazy, a terrorist or just plain evil, the gun-control nuts are as unrealistic and dishonest as they are predictable.

Pierre Poilievre Says He Would Ban Federal Ministers From Attending World Economic Forum

As many more conservative Canadians know, the WEF is controlled by Klaus Schwab who has in the past bragged about having influence over the Justin Trudeau federal Liberal cabinet. Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland even sat on the WEF’s board and supports their radical environmental views and their brand of corporatist economics.

The Government’s Latest Totalitarian Attempt To Censor The Internet

Imagine a Canada where every single thing you say online was watched, checked, and possibly censored by the government. Your text messages, Facebook posts, and comments on YouTube videos — all of it monitored to ensure your speech is “safe.”

It sounds outrageous, right? Totalitarian and gross. Now, what if I told you that the government was just caught planning for it?

Biden Takes Aim Directly At Americans’ Right To Travel

The Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for states and municipalities to “track and reduce greenhouse gas emissions on their highways.” The proposed plan would establish declining carbon dioxide targets statewide and create a method for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.

Meet the Conservative Comic Artist Countering the Left Online

But a growing cadre of conservative creatives is trying to make its mark online and prove the left doesn’t have a monopoly on the digital world.

Dutch farmer protest sparked by policy Trudeau wants for Canada

Dutch farmers have been blocking highways, supermarkets and food distribution centres for the past week over a policy that is similar to what we could soon see in Canada.

In fact, if Justin Trudeau isn’t careful, the next protest he sees might be tractors and farmers rather than truckers.

Toronto eyeing new plan to ban cats from going outdoors unless on leash

“If you love your cat, keep Fluffy indoors.”

These were environmentalist and former Scarborough city councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker’s words to Toronto City Council Wednesday as a city committee discussed a plan that could prohibit cat owners from allowing felines to roam freely outdoors.

The motion, moved by Councillor for Ward 17 – Don Valley North Shelley Carroll, is rooted in the belief outdoor cats can be a danger to local ecosystems, hunting bird and rodent populations, and are themselves at risk of being hit by vehicles or attacked by wildlife while roaming.

So what’s the money angle?
