Is Football Doomed?

You will probably watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. Maybe you’re a casual fan. Maybe you’re a football nut who wants to see how New England’s defense matches Seattle’s heavy formations. Maybe you just want to watch the commercials.
Whatever your motivation, you’ll have company. More than 191 million people tuned into the Super Bowl in 2025. Americans are projected to spend more than $20 billion on game-related food, drinks, gear, and more this year. Many households observe the Super Bowl more reverently than Easter.
The Washington Post cuts prove journalism dies in wokeness

Wednesday 4 February 2026 will live on as a day of infamy in the United States. For, lo, twas the day that the Washington Post – tagline ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ – laid off 300 democracy-savers, after it transpired that ‘saving democracy’ was not a profitable enterprise.
WTF?
This is quality parenting.

Ugly Confrontation About ICE Signage at Minneapolis Yoga Studio Goes Viral

You may have noticed that there’s a common element for a lot of the anti-ICE folks that we’ve seen out in places like Minnesota. They’re largely white, liberal women, often middle-aged.
They think they are “fighting fascism,” so they think that gives them the right to act as they do.
IMO liberalism is a disease, and this video is the proof. A bunch of white liberal females in Minnesota circle yoga studio clerks and gang-bully them as if they’re political hostages. Why? A: for apparently not having ICE OUT stickers on the door.

The rules-based international order is officially dead. Has NATO suffered the same fate?

Much of the world is still trying to figure out what the consequences will be from Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, Switzerland. The prime minister won plaudits for daring to call out the behaviour of the world’s superpowers, particularly, President Donald Trump and the United States, although in neither case, by name. Janice Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, looked back at several previous speeches by Canadian prime ministers on an international stage and concludes that Carney’s was the most impactful ever.
The Poohbahs of the EU are pressing for their own “armed forces” so it may be NATO has run it’s course.
Crash by Illegal Immigrant in Indiana Draws National Outrage

Four people in Indiana are dead following a crash involving a semi truck on Feb. 3, 2026. The driver of the semi truck, Bekzhan Beishekeev, is a 30-year-old illegal immigrant from Kyrgyzstan who was paroled into the country under the Biden administration’s CBP One app, according to a statement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS also stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer for Beishkeev and took custody of him on Feb. 5, 2026. “He will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings,” they added.
HUNTER: Scandal-plagued Toronto cops had big supporting cast

The accused dirty cops exposed in the explosive scandal rocking Toronto Police were not alone in their allegedly corrupt machinations.
There was allegedly a large supporting cast, not unlike a Cecil B. DeMille Biblical epic. There is, however, no Edward G. Robinson snarling like a Lower East Side gangster transported to ancient Egypt.
When Tyrants Beg for Talks: The Danger of Empowering Iran’s Soul Crushing Murder Factory Once Again

Iran’s rulers, now that they are on their knees, apparently want to “talk.” Iranian officials, including the foreign minister, have signaled openness to negotiating a new nuclear deal — not from “moderation” or a genuine change in behavior. The plea from Iran’s regime is clearly a last-ditch effort to hold on to power so the mullahs can keep on torturing, slaughtering and putting out the eyes of their citizens.
The regime is searching for a way out. This moment, therefore, is not one for misplaced diplomatic optimism that the mullahs are now prepared to stop building nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that can reach the United States, or to stop brutalizing innocent Iranians. The regime, which rules by terror, is evidently still hoping to rule the rest of the world by terror, too.
Stephen Harper is calling for unity amid existential threats to Canada. Will today’s leaders listen?

For the first time since his defeat a decade ago, former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper took centre stage this week with a refreshing show of bipartisanship and a call for national unity — a message the country and his party needed to hear.
The occasion was Harperpalooza or Harperfest as some Conservative staffers referred to the celebrations, a week’s worth of events in the capital to mark 20 years since Harper first became prime minister.
Here’s Where AI Is Tearing Through Corporate America

In the past few days, employees of Authentic Brands Group have been seeking out the company’s chief digital officer, Adam Kronengold, to ask him a newly urgent question: Should they start using a new AI tool released by Anthropic to review legal documents?
The company, which has about 600 employees and owns brands including Reebok and Champion, uses specialized software for that task now. But company leaders have encouraged experimentation and embrace of AI in the ranks.
“Everyone feels very empowered to raise their hands and say, ‘Hey, how can we fold this in?’” Kronengold said.
He has told employees he’ll make sure they get access to the new plug-in—but they can keep using the existing software for now.
Envisioning versions of this discussion playing out across corporate America, investors dumped software stocks this week, wreaking widespread losses on companies that sell digital tools and services for human-resources management, productivity, data analysis and other purposes.
Software, another AI frontier victim.
Will Canada’s new auto strategy put as many EVs on the road as Carney says?

Despite widespread approval from provinces and auto manufacturers, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s auto plan might not accelerate the transition to electric vehicles as fast as he says.
On Thursday, Carney ended Canada’s electric vehicle mandate, resumed purchase incentives and said higher standards for fuel efficiency were coming. Ontario and Alberta’s premiers said they were both “pleased” and car manufacturers said the move provided “welcome policy stability.”
The Washington Post: The Final Days?
Oh the irony.
Back there in the stone age of the 1970’s, two young, talented rising stars at The Washington Post- Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by name – rose to fame and fortune investigating the unraveling Nixon White House. And what was eventually labeled the “Watergate” scandal.
TAUB: Scrapping Canada’s hate envoys was the right call

Unapologetically Jewish welcomes and applauds the Liberal government’s decision to scrap the separate antisemitism and Islamophobia envoy roles and replace them with a single Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion. It is a smart and overdue reset, and one we have been advocating for and lobbying around since the election.
