Ford reported revenue of $34.5 billion between January and March, a 5% decline relative to the same period in 2021, and a net loss of $3.1 billion, according to the company’s earnings report released Wednesday. The Detroit automaker said its large investment in Rivian accounted for $5.4 billion in losses during the first quarter.
Print more money? Check. Bring in low-wage workers? Check. Boost productivity and generate real growth? Nope.
In an apparent homage to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” — one the rest of us realize is a pointed political allegory but the Biden administration apparently views as a handbook — the Biden White House is establishing a Disinformation Governance Board.
Yes, you read that correctly. The government is going to decide what’s true and what’s false, and punish disseminators accordingly. The bureaucrats who run the Department of Homeland security, where this board will be housed, are going to be parsing fact from fiction, obviously to keep us all safe from the scourge of independent judgment and thought.
The resource-strapped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reportedly took more than 20 minutes to respond when alleged Antifa members assaulted a Saturday campaign event near police headquarters in downtown Portland.
By the time officers had “sufficient resources” to establish a crime scene near Southwest 3rd and Main Street, the black-clad demonstrators had already dispersed after hurling smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons and fireworks, according to police. Two were injured by “mortars,” police said.
Premier Doug Ford’s strategy for winning a second majority government on June 2 relies on getting Ontario voters, who supported Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in last year’s federal election, to vote for his Progressive Conservative candidates now.
Hours after the Feb. 3 U.S. military raid in northern Syria that left the leader of ISIS and multiple family members dead, President Biden delivered a triumphant White House address.
The late-night Special Forces operation in Syria’s Idlib province, Biden proclaimed, was a “testament to America’s reach and capability to take out terrorist threats no matter where they hide around the world.”
Unmentioned by the president, and virtually all media accounts of the assassination, was the critical role that top members of his administration played during the Obama years in creating the Al Qaeda-controlled hideout where ISIS head Abu Ibrahim al-Qurayshi, as well as his slain predecessor, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, found their final refuge.
The hard left is going absolutely crazy over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. One of their arguments, made loudly by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, is that no one person should own and control such an important media platform. But that argument, repeated by others, is totally phony and hypocritical. Imagine if George Soros had bought Twitter? Reich would be jumping up and down with joy, as would Musk’s other critics. I don’t recall the outcry when Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, the most influential newspaper in our nation’s capital. To the contrary, Bezos was applauded for bringing a more liberal perspective to that newspaper.
Many of the most important media in the country have long been owned and controlled by individuals or close-knit families. So don’t believe what Reich and others say about why they are opposed to Musk’s purchase.
One of America’s top health officials has come under fire for saying that all pediatricians agree on providing children and teenagers with ‘gender-affirming care’ – despite vocal opposition to puberty blockers from doctors over the past few years.
Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine – who is also America’s highest-appointed transgender female – told NPR in a recent interview that ‘there is [an] evidence-based standard of care for the evaluation and treatment of trans individuals’ set by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
… When asked how Russia can claim that it is fighting to “de-Nazify” Ukraine when President Volodymyr Zelensky is himself Jewish, Mr Lavrov said: “So what if Zelensky is Jewish.”
“The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood,” adding that “some of the worst anti-Semites are Jews.”
“One of the problems with this industry as a whole is that, since at its very foundation it is based on government subsidies and government mandates, its market value is never truly known,” Daniel Turner, the executive director of Power the Future, told the DCNF in an interview.
“It’s a big lie when the environmentalists say, ‘it’s cheap’ — we don’t know what it actually costs,” Turner continued. “It may be, I’m not denying it could be, but the fact is we don’t actually know what wind and solar cost.”
The former ‘Suits’ actress – who, along with her husband, abandoned royal duties for a life in Los Angeles back in 2020 – created the series through the couple’s Archewell Productions company and had described it as a family series that centres on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who finds inspiration in a variety of influential women throughout history.
After May 7, 2022 there will exist a dynamic in the nation that has not since America woke up on the morning after the election in 2020.
Simply put, we were right.
By “we” I’m referring to everyone from the harshest critic of the “vote fraud” crowds but who in the back of their mind couldn’t have confidence in the oft repeated lie “most secure election in history,” to people just like you and me who had the audacity to ask about it and were told to shut up, sit down, or we’d be cancelled.
In the month since Russia’s retreat from Ukraine’s north, the capital Kyiv has seen a frenzy of high-profile visitors: 11 prime ministers, Austria’s chancellor, the U.S. secretaries of state and defence, its House speaker, the UN secretary-general — even Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
Canada has not sent even a cabinet minister.
Truth Social is a target of the Biden administration’s new Disinformation Governance Board, according to the man running former President Donald Trump’s nascent social network.
Where is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as Rolling Thunder fills downtown Ottawa?
Don’t expect him to pop up from behind the National War Memorial to speak with Canadians — he took the day off.
