The FBI Raid of Project Veritas Turns Into a Massive Scandal After Privileged Communications Are Leaked

As RedState reported, Project Veritas has found itself in the crosshairs of the FBI recently. That began with a raid on the homes of several of its journalists under the guise of looking for Ashley Biden’s diary. Apparently, a stolen diary is now in the purview of federal authorities. Will they be investigating bike thefts next?

But what was so disturbing, besides the raids happening in the first place, was how quickly The New York Times knew about them. While O’Keefe was asked by the FBI to keep quiet, the Times knew within hours, pointing to a leaker within the bureau.

Rittenhouse Trial Brings Out the Crazy on the Progressive Left

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is making some people on the left very angry and others just plain bonkers. It has been baffling watching some of the reactions from liberals in media and politics.

It’s been a festival of hot takes.

Over at CNN, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who was suspended from the network earlier this year for lewd behavior on a Zoom call, had a predictably smug take on the proceedings.

Conservative alarmism over jobs data is either dishonest or delusional

Last Friday morning, Statistics Canada greeted the country with a monthly employment report that, by any reasonable assessment, was good news.

Jobs increased by a modest but healthy 31,000 in October, adding to September’s surge of 157,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent, the lowest since the pandemic began. Full-time employment accounted for all the gains. Private-sector hiring rose by 70,000. Hours worked were up. Wages were up.

But to hear the Conservative opposition’s spin, this was all very bad news indeed. It was smoking-gun evidence of economic mismanagement at its worst.

SHEPHERD: “Climate anxiety”

The CBC, with their new commitment to hard-hitting climate journalism, publishes an op-ed by a man who orders too much takeout and is therefore experiencing eco-anxiety because of all the plastic containers he has accumulated. While this particular CBC op-ed may be useless fluff, the concept of “climate anxiety” is worth delving into. True North fellow Lindsay Shepherd discusses what “climate anxiety” is and how the leftist-socialist-environmentalist class uses these types of concepts as cop-outs and excuses for their bad habits.

The Media Start Losing Their Minds Over ‘Let’s Go, Brandon,’ And I Think I Know Why

Just when you thought the “Let’s go, Brandon” craze might die down, it came back like gangbusters late this week. The phrase, which originated via a NASCAR reporter’s hilarious commentary, has gone viral on the right as a clean way to make fun of Joe Biden and his terrible policies.

Trust of US media in ‘free fall,’ lowest in world

The public’s trust in news outlets is among the lowest in the free world, a trend that has spiraled downward for years and appears to continue to do so.

Regardless if it is trust in legacy or alternative media, the decline since President Joe Biden took office has registered in double digits, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Media Trust Index shared with Secrets.

7 Insane Things I Just Learned About How U.S. Elections Are ‘Rigged’

The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.

Who do Albertans think they are?

When asked which values animate provincial politics, most Albertans continue to describe the dominance of wild west notions, like populism, western alienation, settler colonialism, frontier masculinity, bootstrap individualism, and the primacy of prosperity doctrine (hard work produces wealth).

This becomes clearest when we ask our focus group participants to draw an Albertan who has the most influence over politics in this province. The resulting caricatures most often depict roughnecks, cowboys and farmers. In short, Albertans’ perception of the typical Albertan remains static, gendered, racialized, and rooted in a “wild west” past.

How I despise the CBC.
