US ‘Rent-a-Womb’ Industry Thrives Due to Demand From Parents in China: Researcher

The “rent-a-womb” industry pipelines children born of surrogates in the United States to parents in China, a researcher said. Babies born this way automatically gain U.S. birthright citizenship.

Chinese “rent-a-womb” industry, has been burgeoning in the United States for about a decade, particularly in California, where laws regulating commercial surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are permissive, said Emma Waters, a research associate for the Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation.

Surrogacy, a practice where a woman carries a pregnancy and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple, is completely banned in China

Biden Administration Funding Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program, Incentivizing Terror

The Biden Administration has destabilized the Middle East, launched a potential international nuclear arms race, incentivized global terrorism, increased American taxpayers’ funding both sides of the Ukraine war, crushed even further a people fighting for their freedom and appeased yet another rogue regime — after Afghanistan, China and Venezuela – this time one that the US State Department itself has called the “top state sponsor of terrorism,” Iran, all in one week.

Terry Glavin: Mélanie Joly pushes conspiracy theories about Pierre Poilievre

While our American neighbours are transfixed with the high-drama prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House next year, up here in Canada our government is considering “scenarios.” And one aspect of these scenarios, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, is the “radicalization” of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

During an interview with a Montreal radio station Wednesday, Joly hinted at a “game plan” in the event that the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election produces ominous results, about which Joly spoke ominously. One scenario might be a “difficult situation.” Whatever happens, there will be mayors involved, and premiers. People like that.

A horrific story from Mexico tells you what Biden is bringing to America

Since the day he came into office, Biden has opened America’s southern border, an illegal act that should see him not only impeached but indicted and imprisoned. But that’s not the world in which we live. We live in a world in which millions of illegal aliens stream into America, a substantial number of whom are Mexican cartel foot soldiers. That’s why you should know about the horrible deaths that five childhood friends suffered at the hands of the cartel in Jalisco, Mexico.

DOJ seeking 33 years in prison for ex-Proud Boys leader Tarrio in Jan. 6 case

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking 33 years in prison for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy earlier this year in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

He and four other Proud Boys in May were convicted of entering a seditious conspiracy against the U.S. government to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Far Left Extremist Trudeau Government Worries US May Veer To Right Of Pol Pot

The Canadian Kissinger

OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada has been considering a “game plan” for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year’s presidential elections.

“We are certainly working on scenarios,” Joly said in French during an interview with a Montreal radio station Wednesday.

Joly added that Ottawa’s close political and economic ties to the U.S. means that “we must certainly prepare several scenarios.”

The Biden Administration’s Disconcerting Bias Against Canadian Oil

As we dissect the Biden administration’s approach to pipeline projects, a perplexing pattern emerges: Are these strategies truly about pioneering “climate leadership,” or is there a veiled agenda against Canadian interests?

Consider a recent Frontier Centre for Public Policy study which spotlighted the Biden administration’s putting its moral and legal weight behind a small Maine town contesting a pipeline project. This project aimed to facilitate the flow of Canadian crude from the oilsands to an Atlantic seaport. While pipeline lawyers argued that a local ordinance could potentially breach the Constitution’s provision, which reserves such authority for Congress, the Biden administration’s legal eagles argued to the contrary, stating no federal laws or the Constitution were being violated.

VIDEO: A good, quick analysis about China’s serious internal problems

China is a problem. It’s an immediate problem for Taiwan, but it’s also a long-term problem for America, given that it’s our greatest geopolitical enemy (no matter what Democrats say about Russia! Russia! Russia!). However, Ben Shapiro has put together an excellent short video detailing the structural problems that bedevil China and that put it both at risk of implosion and explosion.

It’s democracy in the dark without Nashville shooter manifesto’s release

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the (sometimes ironic) slogan of The Washington Post.

But it’s also a fair description of what’s happening in Tennessee, as the state Legislature is being called to a special session even as local and federal officials withhold information that might be critical to its decision-making.

Gov. Bill Lee ordered the special session to begin Aug. 21 in response to a March 27 mass shooting in which three adults and three children at the Covenant School, a Christian school in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood, were killed.

Hillbilly Anthem: With His Viral Protest Song, Oliver Anthony Is This Year’s J.D. Vance

Here we go again.

In 2016, I read Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance’s moving, insightful memoir of growing up in the struggling white working class of Appalachia. Vance was, and is, a young man who wrote with critical passion about his people and their despair. He criticized structural economic reasons for their suffering, but also criticized self-sabotaging cultural beliefs and practices.

‘You’re kind of raised to hate tourists’: Maui fires fan tensions on Hawaiian island

At Maui’s Wailea Beach on Monday the skies were bright and clear. Luxury hotels lined the beachfront, their guests spread on the sand. Some waded in the ocean, while others sat under umbrellas with white monogrammed towels on their chairs.

Inside one of the hotels, beyond a pool, a two-tiered fountain and a glass-walled habitat for the resident parrot, was a wooden-framed screen advertising a relief fund for the resort’s employees – the first sign of the destruction in Lahaina, just 30 miles (48km) up the coast.
