Loyola High School's president stated that "we cannot make those changes and remain faithful to who we are.”

If you have 8 minutes to spare watch this incredible testimony with receipts by Rodney Palmer who had a 20 year career as a foreign correspondent for CTV news and was an investigative reporter for CBC Radio & Television in Canada and abroad.

He lays down an incredible timeline of how CBC manipulated and propagandized against Canadians in order to coerce them to take the product.

🚨ALLISON INQUIRY BOMBSHELL🚨

Former CBC producer Rodney Palmer just delivered a forensic presentation to the panel on how Canada’s public broadcaster morphed into a Chinese-style propaganda arm. Called out his former colleagues — and DESTROYED whatever credibility they had left.

Michael Button: “It’s almost like the rug has been pulled out from underneath our understanding of human history.”

There are three huge questions archaeology can no longer answer.

1. Why did civilization appear simultaneously worldwide after hundreds of thousands of years of nothing?
Why after so long of human beings like us being on this planet did it take so long for civilization to emerge? And then why, when it did, did it emerge in all these different unconnected locations all over the globe at pretty much the exact same time? We see it flourishing in Mesoamerica, South America, Egypt, the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, ancient India and ancient China, all around about the same time.

2. How old is true human intelligence?
How long have humans been intelligent? We used to think we had the answer. New evidence means we no longer do.

3. When did humans first reach isolated places like the Americas?
And Australia. New finds keep pushing the timeline further back.

We used to think we had the answers to the most fundamental questions of how we got here. With each new discovery we are realizing just how vast the unknown is.

Baseball legend Babe Ruth was a Catholic who wrote this letter about Communion, Confession and the Miraculous Medal:

“In December, 1946, I was in French Hospital, New York, facing a serious operation. Paul Carey, one of my oldest and closest friends, was by my bed one night.

- They’re going to operate in the morning, Babe, Paul said. -Don’t you think you ought to put your house in order?

-I didn’t dodge the long, challenging look in his eyes. I knew what he meant. For the first time, I realized that death might strike me out. I nodded, and Paul got up, called in a chaplain, and I made a full confession.

-I’ll return in the morning and give you Holy Communion, the chaplain said, -But you don’t have to fast.

-I’ll fast, I said. I didn’t have even a drop of water.

-As I lay in bed that evening, I thought to myself what a comforting feeling to be free from fear and worries. I now could simply turn them over to God. Later on, my wife brought in a letter from a little kid in Jersey City.

‘Dear Babe,’ he wrote, ‘Everybody in the seventh grade class is pulling and praying for you. I am enclosing a medal, which if you wear will make you better. Your pal—Mike Quinlan. P.S. I know this will be your 61st homer. You’ll hit it.’

-I asked them to pin the Miraculous Medal to my pyjama coat. I’ve worn the medal constantly ever since. I’ll wear it to my grave.”

“I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.“

Iran’s Historic Mistake

Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is “the continuation of politics by other means.” President Trump grasped this from the start: Operation Epic Fury exists to stop Iran’s nuclear march and restore deterrence, not to pursue the familiar neocon fantasy of occupation and nation-building. Epic Fury is peace through strength in action: credible force applied decisively when adversaries mistake restraint for weakness.

By weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran committed a strategic blunder of historic proportions.
Tehran meant to punish America. Instead, it exposed every power built on imported energy, vulnerable sea lanes, and the delusion that globalization repealed geography. China is exposed. Europe is exposed. Britain is exposed. Iran has created a world where hard resource power decides outcomes.

Start with China. Beijing’s industrial machine depends on imported oil and gas moving through vulnerable maritime chokepoints, the old Malacca dilemma in modern form. A great power reliant on long, exposed sea lines cannot be secure, regardless of economic scale. The Hormuz shock forced China to scramble for alternatives, proving that size is not resilience.

Europe and Britain face the same problem. After escaping Russian dependency, they traded one vulnerability for another, leaning on imported LNG and maritime flows exposed to coercion. When chokepoints tighten, they absorb shocks rather than project strength. European criticism says less about American failure than about discomfort with a world where hard power still matters.

Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it. That means bypass corridors, revived pipeline politics, and urgent planning for routes linking Aqaba to Mediterranean outlets near Gaza and the long-stalled Basra-to-Aqaba pipeline. The old energy order is cracking. The UAE’s OPEC exit signals cartel discipline giving way to national advantage under pressure.

Trump deserves credit, not European scolding. Operation Epic Fury struck thousands of targets, degraded Iran’s offensive capabilities, and shattered assumptions that the West would absorb escalation without response. The administration acted while others lectured. It restored deterrence in the only language Tehran understands.

The larger lesson matters more. Secure natural-resource hard power is what the Western Hemisphere possesses in abundance. The United States, Canada, and the Americas command hydrocarbons, LNG, farmland, freshwater, critical minerals, and strategic depth on a scale import-dependent Europe and Asia cannot match. This crisis clarified, not weakened, the Americas structural position.

The financial dimension reinforces the point. Demand for Federal Reserve swap lines during crisis proves King Dollar remains supreme. When stress hits, governments run toward dollar liquidity, not away from it. Hard resource power and monetary power reinforce one another, and the United States sits at the center of both.

That is Epic Fury’s real significance. Clausewitz wrote that “the political view is the object, war is the means.” Trump understood that. Iran tried to weaponize geography, Trump turned the confrontation into a demonstration of who is exposed and who is not.

The Trump administration deserves far more praise than it has received, and history will likely judge that Iran’s greatest miscalculation was not merely closing Hormuz, but revealing which powers still command the real sources of strength.

I care a lot more about saving babies than being politically correct. We are done with euphemisms when talking about abortion. It’s not “reproductive healthcare.” Abortion is barbaric and evil.

Many thanks to President Trump for bringing common sense action to the issue of psychedelics.

Too many of my friends I deployed with have come home with invisible wounds and when seeking help, are given bags of prescription drugs by the VA to try to numb the pain, only to make things worse.  Friends of mine like Medal of Honor recipient @dakotameyer have shared how receiving treatment with psychedelics have been nothing short of life changing and lifesaving.  

President Trump took historic action today by signing a deeply impactful Executive Order that will open the doors to advance psychedelics research and treatment for our veterans and all Americans battling addiction and post traumatic stress. Stanford studies of this kind of treatment show an 88% drop in PTSD symptoms, 87% in depression & 81% in anxiety—one month later, veterans went from moderate disability to none.

This action is long overdue and could save countless lives.
