Senator Kennedy to Sally Yates: ‘Who Appointed You to the Supreme Court?’

by Joel B. Pollak Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, testifying in the Senate on Monday, attempted to defend her decision to defy President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending travel from several terror-prone countries in January. Yates told the Senate Judiciary Committee that her decision was made “not purely as a policy matter,” but suggested that she had been guided by “statements” that were made “contemporaneously or prior” to the order.  She did not specify which statements she meant, but several of the judges who have blocked the executive order — and its less ambitious successor — have referred to statements made by Trump...

Bombardier Bosses Get Raise – Trudeau Needs Your Money

Bombardier Did ‘A Bad Job’ Explaining Multimillion-Dollar Raises: CEO Bombardier did “a bad job” explaining its decision to raise executive compensation, but the company has listened to the public and is now ready to turn the page, CEO Alain Bellemare says. In an interview, Bellemare acknowledged that Bombardier underestimated the anger that would erupt over the pay hikes, which were to come as it was issuing pink slips to thousands of employees while receiving federal and provincial assistance. “It’s all on us at Bombardier,” he said. “The message here is we did listen, we paid attention, we care.” http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/03/bombardier-ceo-says-company-did-bad-job-communicating-pay-increases_n_15781614.html...

Yves Engler Become a fan  Writer and Political Activist A registered “charity” with buckets of donations from arms manufacturers and other corporate sources is aggressively trying to push Canadian foreign policy further towards militarism and the use of violence. And the right-wing Canadian Global Affairs Institute seems to be growing in influence, or at least media prominence. Since last month’s federal budget, senior CGAI analyst David Perry has been quoted throughout the media arguing for increased military spending. “I’m stunned this budget is actually taking money away from the military and pretending to give it back several decades in...

Student Union Wants to Ban Clapping and Cheering Because it Excludes Deaf People

By Trump And Conquer Britain’s largest national student union has told attendees of its annual conference they would face “consequences” for cheering and clapping because these forms of expression exclude deaf people.

Trump to pull feds out of K-12 education

By Trump And Conquer President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return school control to state and local officials. The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government. “For too long the government has imposed its will on state and local governments.

Macron Wins, France Loses

“There is no such thing as French culture.” by Mark Tapson France has surrendered again, possibly for the last time. The Washington Post reports that “centrist” Emmanuel Macron fended off “far-right populist” challenger Marine Le Pen decisively, virtually guaranteeing that the path is clear for an Islamist takeover of France. Winning around 65 percent of the vote Sunday, Macron said that the country had “turned a new page in our long history.” Indeed it did, but it may signal not so much a new beginning as a final chapter. “This is our civilization that’s at stake, our way of life,”...

Big Pharma suffers another major blow as study debunks high cholesterol myths, admitting statins are totally worthless

by Julie Wilson It’s been a tough few weeks for Big Pharma, as three major studies have now completely disproved the effectiveness of its most profitable drugs. Last week, a huge study published in The Lancet admitted that the risks of antidepressants in children and teens far outweigh the benefits, as the drugs routinely increase suicidal behavior. Out of 14 antidepressants, only one was shown to improve depression better than the placebo. Now, scientists are reporting that cholesterol drugs, which 15 million Americans are prescribed, are also completely worthless. A group of international researchers published a study in the...
