‘Enough Is Enough’: Obama Demands More Gun Control After Colorado Shooting by Charlie Spiering President Obama is commenting on last night’s shooting in Colorado, mourning the idea that over the holidays a group of people were killed by a shooter.

The Myth of the Climate Change ‘97%’

The Myth of the Climate Change ‘97%’ What is the origin of the false belief—constantly repeated—that almost all scientists agree about global warming? By Joseph Bast And Roy Spencer 2014 Last week Secretary of State John Kerry warned graduating students at Boston College of the “crippling consequences” of climate change. “Ninety-seven percent of the world’s scientists,” he added, “tell us this is urgent.” Where did Mr. Kerry get the 97% figure?

Ujjal Dosanjh — a truly admirable Canadian Rex Murphy People often lament that we have very few public figures we can truly admire. But Canada does have a few, and the name I’d place on the top of any shortlist of people who have earned real respect and admiration is Ujjal Dosanjh: immigrant, lawyer, former premier of B.C., former federal cabinet minister and the first winner of the prestigious Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Award.

New Right Wing Polish Government Removes EU Flags

New Right Wing Polish Government Removes EU Flags by Oliver Lane Just weeks into taking power, the new Polish government is making itself felt in making small but heavily symbolic changes to the daily order of business. Having already torn up the previous government’s commitment to take thousands of migrants from the European Union (EU) as part of the continent-wide resettlement programme, Poland is now making tentative steps to remove visible signs of EU influence from public life.

How a secretive elite created the EU to build a world government

How a secretive elite created the EU to build a world government Voters in Britain’s referendum need to understand that the European Union was about building a federal superstate from day one by Prof Alan Sked As the debate over the forthcoming EU referendum gears up, it would be wise perhaps to remember how Britain was led into membership in the first place. It seems to me that most people have little idea why one of the victors of the Second World War should have become almost desperate to join this “club”. That’s a shame, because answering that question is… View Article

No US airstrikes in Syria since Russia deployed S-400 systems

No US airstrikes in Syria since Russia deployed S-400 systems Both the American and Turkish air forces halted their strikes on Syrian territory around the time Russia deployed S-400 air defense complexes at the Khmeimim airbase, from which it stages its own incursions against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). A spokesperson of the Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) told Sputnik on Friday that the absence of anti-IS coalition airstrikes “has nothing to do with the S400 deployment” in Syria.
