12 Key Questions That All Americans Should Ask About The Shameful Attempt To Cover Up The Truth About Jeffrey Epstein

I literally feel sick right now. After waiting for years for the truth about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation to come out, and after months of being promised that stunning new information would be released soon, now we are being told to forget the entire thing. The people that were brought in to run the Justice Department and the FBI were supposed to restore faith in the system, but instead they are destroying it. Nobody that can think rationally is buying the lies that we are being fed.

Resisterville: 50,000 evaders fled the U.S. across the northern border and changed Canada

“I didn’t want to kill anybody,” Eric Nagler says. “And I was afraid if I did go in that, because I was a pacifist, I’d get sent to the front lines and shot. So anyway, I dodged the draft.”

Nagler, who is now 83, grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in the 1940s. Like millions of young American men, he was draft-age when U.S. ground troops first set foot in Vietnam in 1965. “My brother came home from university one day and said that he was a conscientious objector and explained what that was,” Nagler says. “I thought it was a terrific idea.

The madness of Canada’s electric-car mandates

EVs are almost comically unsuited to a vast, cold country like Canada.

Justin Trudeau’s legacy is alive and well in Mark Carney’s iteration of Canada’s Liberal Party. While the former PM’s deeply unpopular carbon tax may have been scrapped, his spirit of phony solutions to the ‘climate-change crisis’ prevails.

Across the border, US president Donald Trump has nixed any attempts at electric-vehicle (EV) mandates, saying, ‘electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one’. By contrast, the Canadian Liberal Party has maintained its plan to ensure 20 per cent of new passenger vehicles sold in 2026 are either battery-powered or plug-in hybrid models. It intends to increase that number to 60 per cent by 2030, and to 100 per cent by 2035.

Poisoned water and scarred hills

The price of the rare earth metals the world buys from China

When you stand on the edge of Bayan Obo, all you see is an expanse of scarred grey earth carved into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia in northern China.

Dark dust clouds rise from deep craters where the earth’s crust has been sliced away over decades in search of a modern treasure.

You may not have heard of this town – but life as we know it could grind to a halt without Bayan Obo.

The town gets its name from the district it sits in, which is home to half of the world’s supply of a group of metals known as rare earths. They are key components in nearly everything that we switch on: smartphones, bluetooth speakers, computers, TV screens, even electric vehicles.

And one country, above all others, has leapt ahead in mining them and refining them: China.


China currently leads in Rare Earth mining because the west found the cost of the environmental approval process and resulting safeguards too bothersome and so happily sold China more rope.

No, British Muslims were not the ‘real victims’ of 7/7

Today marks the 20-year anniversary of the most lethal terrorist attack on British soil of this century so far: the 7/7 London Bombings. It was the first Islamist suicide attack in the UK, and the deadliest act of terror since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. Even though I was a 15-year-old schoolboy at the time, I remember the 7/7 attacks as if they were yesterday. Fifty-two people were murdered, with a further 784 injured, by four jihadists: Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Shehzad Tanweer and Germaine Lindsay. Three were British-born sons of Pakistani Muslim migrants, with the other being a Jamaica-born convert to Islam.

The Trump Administration Responds to Amnesty Rumors

On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned that there’s a concerted “influence campaign” underway in Washington to quietly steer President Donald Trump toward granting mass amnesty—even after he secured a major border-and-security funding package. Kirk says elite “ruling class” players, emboldened by recent spending wins, are now pressuring Trump to “come to the middle” on immigration by legalizing up to 25 million undocumented residents.

The dairy industry’s outsized influence explained, in charts

Canada’s dairy farms are growing in size and shrinking in number, and the sector has failed to grow at the same rate as other large agricultural industries.

Yet dairy farmers are largely protected from international competition by a half-century old policy called supply management. And this policy – which sets a production quota and price point for dairy products – threatens to hurt other Canadian industries as U.S. President Donald Trump assails what he calls unfair protectionist measures and threatens to walk away from trade deals.
