In 1841, Charles Mackay wrote a 702-page book titled Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. The book details investment hysteria and panic, but it’s really about human nature, something that doesn’t change throughout recorded history. I will show the reader, in this essay, how we are experiencing popular delusions and the madness of crowds, right now, with the current corona virus, COVID-19 hysteria and panic.
Not since the 1970s has there been such an important discovery from the Great War in France. In woods on a ridge not far from the city of Reims, the bodies of more than 270 German soldiers have lain for more than a century – after they died the most agonising deaths imaginable.
Forgotten in the confusion of war, their exact location was till now a mystery – one which the French and German authorities were in no hurry to elucidate. But thanks to the work of a father-and-son team of local historians, the entrance to the Winterberg tunnel on the Chemin des Dames battlefront has been found.
Lawyers for Minneapolis ex-cop and accused murderer Derek Chauvin are desperate to postpone his trial, hoping to find impartial jurors to hear the high-profile case after the city of Minneapolis delivered a massive settlement.
With nine jurors seated as of Monday afternoon, the defense was granted a motion to eventually recall those who’d already been seated before the city of Minneapolis delivered the largest-ever civil settlement to the family of George Floyd on Friday.
Women’s safety is being sacrificed to political correctness.
The alleged kidnapping and murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard has rocked the nation. A London Met officer has been charged. There is clearly a great deal of soul-searching to be done in our law-enforcement institutions.
It’s a strange thing.
We have lost our governor general, and yet the heart of the country keeps beating. How can this be? Such a wonder.
But it is a bit strange. The office is said to be the pinnacle of our political and constitutional system, and certainly its symbolic apex.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo was physically “aroused” when he allegedly hugged a press aide more than two decades ago, the woman said Monday.
Karen Hinton — who first went public against Cuomo on March 6 — detailed the alleged incident during an interview on WNYC radio.
WE Charity founders accuse MPs of trying them in ‘court of public opinion’
Craig and Marc Kielburger say a parliamentary committee’s study into WE Charity is nothing short of a political trial, accusing MPs of trying to score points at the expense of children around the world.
The brothers delivered the indictment of the House of Commons ethics committee this afternoon as they defended WE’s operations and structure as well as the since-cancelled agreement to have it manage a federal student-grant program.
Soldiers are expected to perform a sprint, a maximum deadlift, hand-release push-ups, a standing power throw, a leg tuck, drag and carry, and a two-mile run. The soldier must score at least 360 points out of 600 points in order to pass the exam, the Daily Telegraph UK reported. Women, however, have an average score of 1oo points lower than the requirements.
Can’t the UN force worldwide militaries establish quotas for physically disadvantaged women, trannys, and pregnant xhe/xirs?

Most Ontarians are concerned about Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination rates compared with other countries, a new poll suggests.
The Campaign Research survey for the Toronto Star found 51 per cent of respondents give this country “poor” marks for its rollout of vaccines.
About one-third — 29 per cent — said it was “fair” while 12 per cent said it was “good” and two per cent said it was “excellent” with seven per cent having no opinion.
But Biden will likely exacerbate the border crisis anyway because that’s what his leftist base wants.
According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans are concerned about the Biden-created border crisis. Further, a majority of Americans are against amnesty for illegal aliens.
In late January, months of feuding at New York City’s Dalton School spilled into public view. In an anonymous letter, a group of alumni and parents wrote that the school they had long loved was abandoning real education in favor of “an obsessive focus on race and identity” in every class.
Face it, the top brass of the Canadian military is entangled in a rat’s nest of alleged sexual improprieties that is far from being unravelled.
That’s because no one is in charge.
The Biden administration, deep down, unfortunately seems to wish to forge ahead with its agenda to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which, incidentally, Iran never signed — and subsequently to lift sanctions against Tehran.
Remember when federal officers with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used tear gas on violent antifa rioters who set off fireworks at the federal courthouse in Portland? Legacy media outlets framed the issue as feds cracking down on “mostly peaceful protests.” A woke mob pressured The New York Times to retract Sen. Tom Cotton’s op-ed calling for law and order and got op-ed editor James Bennet to resign.
