During COVID, trucking in America slowed, leaving many shelves empty. However, no matter the madness, there were enough truckers hitting the road for Americans to have food in their stomachs, gas in their cars, and clothes on their backs. However, in less than a month, it’s entirely possible that trucking will become too expensive for many truckers. Why? Because the real emergency isn’t rising fuel prices; it’s rising diesel prices.
Six weeks in, the UK swamp brings down Liz Truss.
Given what’s happened since her death on September 8, it would’ve been fitting for Queen Elizabeth II, in her final days, to have said, in an echo of Louis XV, “Après moi, le déluge.” Because it’s taken no time at all, since her passing, for the British ship of state to run aground.
Posh eco-fanatics and elite Remoaners are luxuriating in our adversity.
The upper-middle classes are revolting – in both senses of the word. We see and read the evidence every day. In the headlines right now are the antics of Just Stop Oil. In recent weeks, those posh student-types with fanciful names have been throwing soup at a Van Gogh painting, vandalising car showrooms, forcing the closure of the Dartford Crossing, obstructing road traffic and (like Extinction Rebellion) displaying a peculiar predilection for glueing themselves to public surfaces. There has also been Animal Rebellion, whose ranks are drawn from the same source, pouring away milk in supermarkets and department stores for the righteous cause of veganism.
France is another country. They do things differently there.
A “tale of two crises” has unfolded in the last few days on the southern and northern shores of the English Channel. Both crises flow, in part, from the high rates of inflation caused by the Ukraine war and the retreat of the Covid pandemic.
Is there a correlation between the increase in legal handgun ownership and homicide? A Review of the Data
Since 2003, Canada has kept accurate counts of the number of registered firearms, and handguns are all in the restricted and prohibited category.
As well since 2003, the number of restricted and prohibited firearms has doubled from 572,325 to 1,165,114 firearms, while the rate of homicide by handgun has remained relatively constant …
Conservatives say cabinet minister Bill Blair and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “lied” about not having politically interfered in the RCMP’s investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shootings, adding that they should resign.
On Oct. 20, the Mass Casualty Commission made public a recorded phone call from April 28, 2020, during which Lucki says she was “very frustrated” after her staff failed to include information about the guns used in the shootings in a news release and in press conference speaking notes.
Alec Baldwin has been slammed by fans after he shared a photo of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Friday, one year after he fatally shot her on the set of Rust.
The actor, 64, posted a photo of Hutchins with a camera with the caption: ‘One year ago today’ – with social media followers branding the star ‘disgraceful’ and calling for him to be ‘held accountable.’
Canada’s liberal capital city has been besieged by drugs and disorder
I got out of the taxi in front of my hotel in lower town Ottawa and was immediately accosted by a homeless junkie looking for a donation to the cause. It was a Sunday evening, well after sunset, and not quite the greeting I had hoped for upon arrival in Canada’s leafy capital. The smell of pot was in the air, a lot of it — there was a cannabis store across the street, and another around the corner.
Forgive the phrase, but it is appropriate — Vladimir Putin has the European Union — Germany in particular — over a barrel.
Over several barrels come to think of it.
The virtue states went green, but contented themselves with getting the slack, the dirty oil and gas stuff they so deplored, from reliable Russia.

“[W]e know that the fears of crime are just kind of latent sub-texts that have a racialized history in this country. And so, walking voters through the perception of crime and where there actually is crime. But also, the economy is much stronger under Joe Biden.”
Good luck running on that, Democrats — telling voters concerned about crime that they are basically a bunch of racists who perceive crime where it might not actually exist!
It’s a distinct possibility, though there are too many variables to predict it, that if the Republicans take the House there will be some sort of conclusion to the war in Ukraine.
This column has called for just that. Not in a shameful betrayal of the freedom-loving people who’ve fought by our side, like, for example, what the Democrats did to the South Vietnamese after an honorable peace was reached in Paris, but rather in a way that preserves our interests and keeps Joe Biden’s much-ballyhooed nuclear Armageddon away.
What is the end game?
The FBI Agents Association bills itself as “dedicated to advancing and safeguarding the careers, economic interests, conditions of employment and welfare of FBI agents and retired FBI agents.” Founded in 1981, the nonprofit boasts 14,000 members — including 90% of the current agent workforce — and once enjoyed almost universal appeal and respect among them. Once.
Massive layoffs could be on the horizon for the far-left social platform Twitter in the coming months, no matter who owns the company, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post. In one presentation to potential investors in his takeover bid, Elon Musk reportedly states that he plans to lay off 75% of the company’s 7,500 workers.
Today’s American mega-billionaires need to think long and hard about where their allegiances lie: perhaps reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before our nation’s flag might be a good place to start.
If past history is any indication, their current corporate behavior will become their personal legacy illuminated under a harsh and revealing spotlight.
American industrial giants, General Motors and Ford, found that to be the case when lawyers dug through national archives in the 1990s and discovered documents that revealed how these two corporations had their German-based subsidies working hand-in-glove with the Nazi regime both before World War II and during the conflict.
