Around New Year’s, an American insurance company executive sounded an alarm. We’re seeing the highest non-COVID death rates in his business’ history, he said, with numbers so bad that it’s worse than “a one-in-200-year catastrophe.” Now a German health insurer has weighed in, issuing findings that can explain this phenomenon and point to what many have alleged: Authorities have greatly under-reported coronavirus “vaccine” complications.

Not that long ago, it was common for the hate-America-first crowd to say that our Mideast military adventures were “all about oil.” Oddly, we never actually saw that oil or benefited from greater black gold supplies until we ramped up our own domestic production. But now some are saying that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is “all about oil” — and this time, the claim may actually be true.

It’s ironic, but the hate-America-first crowd has another principle: Hate Vladimir Putin second. Of course, how many of them actually hate him as opposed to just effecting the pretense of such is a question. What’s for certain is that you are expected to feel, viscerally, that Vlad is bad. In fact, “Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason.”
So said Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson Tuesday night, warning that the pseudo-elites demanding this anti-Putin passion have consistently harmed Americans with toxic domestic policy and now are harming us again. This time it’s with toxic foreign policy that could embroil us further in the current Eastern European conflict — which could spin out of control.

While in a town I know well in rural upstate New York years ago, I saw a father and son emerge from its gun store. The boy, aged about 10, was carrying a neat looking Ruger Mini-14 rifle his dad had just purchased (“open carry” is legal in the county). I smiled and thought to myself, “What a slice of Americana.” It was like Norman Rockwell meets the NRA.
It’s also true that the reaction 150 miles south in New York City to a boy openly carrying a gun would have been far different: Panic and police presence. Of course, there’s high crime in the Big Apple — but little in the upstate county. And it’s all emblematic of what’s evident here: two Americas.
This divide is also apparent in the reaction to a new addition to the firearms market: an “AR-15 for kids” called the JR-15.

A good response to the self-righteous exclamation “You let your son play with toy guns!?” might once have been, “Well, yeah, he’s too young to have a real one!” But perhaps not anymore, not with a new addition to the firearms market: a smaller, lighter AR-15 designed just for kids.
Dubbed the JR-15, the AFP relates that it’s “marketed by maker WEE1 Tactical as ‘the first in a line of shooting platforms that will safely help adults introduce children to the shooting sports.’” Clearly aghast, the news organ further reports that the “company’s website says the rifle ‘also looks, feels, and operates just like Mom and Dad's gun.’”
Unsurprisingly, the AFP reminds people in its commentary masquerading as hard news that the AR-15 “has been used in multiple mass killings in the United States…” while quoting only anti-Second Amendment activists in its piece. Yet is mixing kids and guns really anything to fear? Let’s examine the matter.

Legendary line “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute” is obviously not the motto of the U.S. Soccer Federation. This seems apparent now that the organization just ended its six-year legal battle with the U.S. women’s soccer team by agreeing to fork over an additional $24 million in pay and bonuses to the female players. This is despite the fact that the men’s team brings in substantially more revenue, the women’s squad lost some years ago to 14-year-old boys, and that the women’s compensation had already reportedly exceeded the men’s.

Echoing so many today, MSN.com ran this weekend the quite declarative headline, “The Confederate Flag: A symbol of hate for over 150 years.” Hate certainly was the motivator, too, when Anthony Hervey was run off the road and killed in 2015 in an incident related to that flag.
Except that Hervey was a Confederate flag advocate.
Oh, he was black, too.

Violent, weapon-wielding, left-wing terrorists last week attacked an energy company in Western Canada, imperiling employees’ lives, causing millions in damages, and setting equipment alight. Yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t appear poised to use his Emergencies Act powers — declared earlier this week and approximating martial law — against them. Those he’s reserving for the peaceful truckers protesting his draconian COVID restrictions, who now must endure violence against them perpetrated by authorities.

From Grover Cleveland to Woodrow Wilson to JFK to Joe Biden, there’s a long history of presidents hiding ill health from the public. Wannabe presidents sometimes do it, too, with Hillary Clinton a prime example. Yet while pictures and videos of the twice-failed presidential candidate collapsing and needing help walking up stairs did emerge during her last White House bid, it turns out that her health might’ve been even worse than many suspected.
So related ex-St Louis police officer Ann Dorn, while appearing Tuesday on The Joe Hoft Show at Real Talk 93.3. Ann was the wife of David Dorn, a retired law enforcement officer who’d been a St. Louis police captain and the chief of the Moline Acres Police Department and whose murder during the St. Louis, Missouri, riots in 2020 made headlines.
Well prior to that tragedy, however, Ann Dorn worked at a hotel in which Clinton was staying in preparation for the 2016 St. Louis debate against Donald Trump. It was then that she was made aware of Clinton’s shockingly poor health. Among Dorn’s revelations are that the politician used a wheelchair, couldn’t walk even a block, and always had a “med bag” with her.
