- People trust algorithms more than other human beings, study finds. Who do they think programs those computers?
No matter how many algorithmic ‘glitches’ and backdoors we find in our electronics, we can’t seem to put them down. Most of us would argue we need technology, but a growing subset trust it more than people. Why? - America can successfully defend Taiwan against China – but only in its dreamsThe US military has deteriorated to the point that the only way it could win a simulated war game in which it was called on to defend Taiwan from a ‘Chinese invasion’ force was by inventing capabilities it does not yet possess.
- If 'my body, my choice' means anything at all, it means having the right to refuse the vaccineI'll probably take the shot at some point, but those who choose not to do not deserve to be hounded like heretics for exercising their bodily autonomy. Anti-vaxxers aren't the problem, the virtue-signalling vaccine zealots are.
- Texans would rather have a celeb grenade like McConaughey as gov than the same old politics – and that’s alright, alright, alrightA new poll shows that actor Matthew McConaughey, who has mentioned a potential jump into politics, has far more support in his state to run for governor than the currently-elected Republican.
- The myth of ‘stupid’ Brexit voter undone by study that discovers affluent and educated ‘Comfortable Leavers’ actually won the dayA new study has blown the ill-founded Remainer myth of all Brexit voters being stupid out of the water, finding well-off ‘Comfortable Leavers’ made up nearly half of those who voted to leave the EU.

- As Cuban chief Raul Castro leaves office, declassified CIA files expose how Washington planned to assassinate himCovert attempts by the US to take out renowned revolutionary Fidel Castro by way of exploding cigars or poisoned seashells are now well known. But one contract that spies took out on his brother has remained secret... until now.
- How Republicans and big business are turning up the heat on ‘forced labor’ in China… to make life difficult for BidenPresident Biden’s drive for more renewable energy is going to require significant imports from China. But his domestic opponents are increasingly weaponizing Xinjiang in an attempt to push their own agenda.
- Overexposed Fauci has nothing to add to gun debate and his intervention is an insult to firearms victimsCNN’s invitation to Dr. Anthony Fauci to opine on whether gun violence is a health issue in the US was totally misplaced. He’s not qualified to comment, and after his performance on Covid, few will be prepared to listen anyway.
- Slavery reparations are just another elite political ploy to avoid tackling the real race problems in AmericaThe Democrat plan to pay compensation for oppression that ended over 150 years ago will do nothing to alleviate black poverty, or ease the bitter ongoing racial tensions that continue to tear American society apart.
- NBC’s vapid vax propaganda ‘Roll Up Your Sleeves’ was entirely ineffective in restoring faith in the medical establishmentSunday’s star-studded TV special starring the Obamas and Hollywood A-listers did its best to persuade people to get the Covid jab. But it spurned seriousness in favor of woke posturing and self-serving virtue signaling.
- So wait, RUSSIA got Biden elected? In conjuring an excuse for sanctions, White House goes full conspiracy theory“Never let a good conspiracy theory go to waste” seems to be a motto in Washington, which went full BlueAnon to create a pretext for sanctioning Russia, long after that canard created to oust Donald Trump had served its purpose.
- Maxine Waters' ‘insurrection’ calls provide more proof that race-baiters ripping America apart don't deserve to be taken seriouslyWith her call for race rioters to get even “more confrontational” if a Minnesota jury doesn't vote the way she thinks it should, US Rep. Maxine Waters disqualified herself from any serious discussion of making America more just.
- ‘The Father’ is a masterful film about living with dementia… and a reminder that America’s MSM is a dementia simulation machineThe Oscar-nominated movie ‘The Father’ immerses viewers in the confusion of dementia – the same sort of bewilderment caused by US media misinformation to disorient the public and make them easier to control and manipulate.
- As America confronts its anti-white ‘woke’ moment, is ‘cancel culture’ just a euphemism for genocide?Although change is sometimes good, this isn't one of those times. Overnight, the US has changed into something alien, something sick. Wokeness has arrived with a vengeance, and it doesn't bode well for the nation's future.
- Tara Reade: Joe Biden didn’t need Russia to ruin his reputation before the election. He did that all by himself (yet still won)The US has just imposed sanctions on Russia, in the new tradition of doing so after a presidential election. But frankly, Moscow didn’t have to do anything to smear Biden, who won merely because he was the lesser of two evils.
- The ACAB attitude creeping into mainstream politics is dangerous and hypocriticalTo say that left-wing politicians currently have a complicated relationship with law enforcement would be putting it mildly.
- Be careful what you wish for: New York Times celebrates Trump’s Twitter ban, but post-Donald ratings aren’t looking goodThe New York Times thinks Twitter is a calmer place without Donald Trump’s “anxiety-provoking” tweets. But, like the proverbial battered wife, the newspaper pines for its tormenter.
- Over a year and $85bn later, US spies still don’t know ‘where, when or how’ Covid-19 hit the world – but it ‘could've been a lab’The question of how SARS-CoV-2 came to wreak havoc on the planet is one many have asked but none, so far, have answered. The truth is out there, but the very people on the case could have every reason to ensure it doesn’t emerge.
- For Riyadh, the prize in Yemen is oil – for Houthis the prize is YemenThe bloody conflict continues to rage in Yemen with a new flashpoint erupting between Houthi rebels and a Saudi-led coalition on Monday, after Houthi drones hit Aramco refineries at Jeddah and Jubail.
- Grifters gonna grift: The Lincoln Project's Twitter re-enactment of the Capitol Hill riot is a pathetic attempt to stay relevantIn an effort to break their fall from grace, the anti-Trump Lincoln Project reposted their tweets from January 6. It won't work though, since as far as the left-leaning media are concerned, they've served their purpose.
- Biden’s Sanctions Binge represents the high-water mark of the ‘Putin Whisperers’Joe Biden has announced a new wave of sanctions against Russia and signalled the potential for more. Biden’s mouth is writing checks the US can’t cash, and his latest tantrum is likely the last gasp of failed anti-Russia strategy.
- Biden once described packing the Supreme Court as a ‘bonehead idea… a terrible mistake.’ So, why’s his party doing it now?Thomas Jefferson’s warning that ‘tyranny of the legislature is to be feared’ is right. The proposal to raise the number of justices by four shows the boneheads are now running the show in Washington.
