We’re all stuck picking up after this Biden dud

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up,” President Obama once reportedly said of Joe Biden. But even Barack Obama might be surprised at how close this ability of Biden’s has already come to bringing the world to disaster.

Back when he was running in 2019, the worst thing Biden would do was to ramble on about what a “bad dude” Corn Pop was back in the day, telling crowds about his run-in with this likely fictional figure. Back then, as the vice president rambled on, his crowd rambled too, wandering around happily and talking among themselves while the crazy old guy kept blithering on stage.

Feds spent more than $600K hiring influencers in 2021

In 2021 the Canadian government turned to social media influencers to promote federal initiatives on multiple occasions, from the COVID-19 vaccine rollout to Winterlude ‘staycations,’ spending more than $600,000 in the process, according to a CTV News analysis.

Seeking out influencers—social media users often with large followings who often use their platforms to make money by promoting products or events—to amplify government messages is a relatively new strategy being deployed by administrations across the world, and Canada is no exception.

Russia and Iran: The New Axis of Evil

Why Is the US Bankrolling Them?

Thanks to the Biden administration’s ill-judged obsession with reviving the flawed nuclear deal with Iran, the world can soon look forward to the creation of a new “axis of evil” between Russia and Iran.

In recent months, as negotiations over reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal’s official title, have continued in Vienna, Western negotiators have expressed concern about the negative support Iran is receiving from Russia in the talks.

Another counterintelligence breach at the NSA

It’s happened again.

The Department of Justice on Thursday announced the arrest of 60-year-old Mark Robert Unkenholz of Hanover, Maryland. The National Security Agency employee faces 26 charges related to the willful transmission and retention of national defense information. These are relatively rare charges, and the DOJ has made no mention of espionage. Still, the Unkenholz affair shines a light, yet again, on security lapses at our biggest and best-funded spy agency.

Could Canada’s Arctic defence line detect a rocket from Russia? Not anymore, critics say

With Canada under increased scrutiny about its defence spending in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ottawa’s plans to replace outdated radar systems in the north have taken on a new sense of urgency.

Defence Minister Anita Anand has said she will present a “robust package” of reforms to modernize the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in a joint effort with the United States.

A major component is expected to be the replacement of the North Warning System — a line of dozens of radar stations scattered throughout Canada’s North that was completed in the 1980s and is long overdue for updating.

Narrative About ‘Mystery Gap’ In Trump January 6 Call Logs Just Collapsed: Report

Turns out, there is no “mystery gap” in former President Donald Trump’s official White House call log from January 6, 2021.

Despite insinuations to the contrary, Trump’s White House switchboard call log record is “complete,” CNN reported this week. In fact, the call log, according to sources, reflects the “typical phone habits” from Trump.

Bye Bye: Jen Psaki Set to Leave White House in May, Bring Real Psaki Show to MSNBC

Naturally unlikeable.

Axios media reporter Sara Fischer broke the news Friday morning that current White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is set to resign from her position “around May” in order to join MSNBC as a guest on their “live programming” across “different shows” with a show on parent company Comcast’s streaming platform Peacock.

As Fischer noted, Puck News reported in February that Psaki had been taking meetings with both MSNBC and CNN (where she was a political commentator for four years), but it seems as though she’ll be joining the network formerly known by its slogan “Lean Forward.”

Senators overwhelmed by emails, calls pushing conspiracy theories about basic income legislation

Members of the Red Chamber have been hit by a wave of questionable correspondence from Canadians convinced that a pending Senate bill would take away their pensions and lead to some sort of totalitarian world government.

Tens of thousands of calls, emails and handwritten letters urging senators to oppose Bill S-233 have flooded into the Red Chamber. The emails — many of them based on outlandish conspiracy theories — have at times overloaded the Senate’s servers, bringing the normal workflow to a grinding halt.

Bill S-233 calls for the creation of a national “framework” to allow the federal government to begin studying a “guaranteed livable basic income” program in Canada.

The Biden Family Racket Is Everything Leftists Fabricated About The Trumps, And Media Are Crickets

Degenerate Biden family.

President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden are the picture of scandal and corruption that the Democrats and corporate media tried to make former President Donald Trump and his family out to be — but instead of covering the bombshell stories, the press is turning a blind eye.

Even before Trump won the election in 2016 after gaining popularity for calling out “fake news,” Democrats and the media were out to get him. Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired lawyers who hired a firm that hired Christopher Steele to dredge up fake news about Trump colluding with Russia. This fake information was then fed to the Obama administration which launched a spy campaign against Trump and his aides based on false pretenses.

Not anymore.

WAR! DeSantis Suggests Ending Disney’s Special Self-Governing Status

Back in 1967 when Disney World was just a gleam in Mickey’s eye and states around the country were vying for Walt Disney’s approval to build his second theme park, the Florida legislature passed the Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which gave the Walt Disney Company a special carve-out, making it a self-governing enclave.

The Act gave Disney “the ability, the power to build a nuclear power plant, an airport manufacturer, distill and distribute alcoholic beverages and lots of other things,” said Dr. Richard Foglesong, author of Married to the Mouse in an interview with a Florida TV station last year.

An aid worker taken hostage by Islamic State (IS) with Briton David Haines has told the terror trial of El Shafee Elsheikh, allegedly one of the so-called “IS Beatles”, that he suffered “intense” beatings while being held captive.

Ukraine war: Gruesome evidence points to war crimes on road outside Kyiv

We counted 13 bodies on a nightmarish stretch of road not much more than 200 yards long, between Mria and Myla, villages whose Ukrainian names translate as Dream and Sweetheart.

Two of the dead are confirmed as Ukrainian civilians who were killed by the Russians. The others have not been identified yet – they lie where they were killed – but only two are wearing recognisable Ukrainian military uniforms.

Our BBC team was able to get to the area, on the main E-40 highway as it approaches Kyiv, because Ukrainian forces had captured the sector only 10 hours earlier.
