Warren Buffett, still full of folksy wisdom and with that ever-present red can of Coca-Cola close at hand, said Saturday he plans to step down later this year from his role leading Berkshire Hathaway, ending a run as an investor that was so stunningly successful for so long that it earned him the nickname Oracle of Omaha.
Buffett, 94, built Berkshire Hathaway from a struggling maker of suit linings in the 1960s into one of the world’s most formidable economic enterprises with a $1 trillion market cap — the first U.S. non-tech company to reach that milestone.
A little cautionary tale about mass migration and Chinese social media apps.
With days left to the election, Australian opposition candidates have been wooing a crucial group that turned its back on the conservative Liberal-National coalition in the last election: Chinese Australian voters.
And they are trying to reach them on platforms that their party once talked of banning over national security concerns: Chinese social media apps like WeChat and RedNote.
Conservatives in Canada are trading blame for Monday night’s election loss, showing that Pierre Poilievre will need to heal divisions within the movement as he fights to stay on as leader.
As a clear Liberal win was emerging on election night, Conservative candidates and their supporters had one question: What the heck just happened?
The party had lost a remarkable 27-point lead in opinion polls and failed to win an election for the fourth time in a row.
A minority gov’t is hardly a “A clear Liberal win” but then BBC bias is as bad as the CBC’s.
The current lawfare campaign waged against the Trump administration’s plans to deport violent criminals here in the US illegally was kicked up a notch last week with the arrest by the FBI of not one but two judges for their support of violent gangbanging illegals.
So far lawfare has consisted of tying up cases in Federal Court with far Left enthusiastic judges passing ‘nationwide injunctions’ on any and all of the Trump administration efforts to deport the illegals. But one has to acknowledge the fact that there are various rogue judges who, with a cry of ‘we’re doing our part’, are deploying their own unique strategies in defying immigration laws.
“The Killing Roads is a gripping documentary that exposes the terror unleashed on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched coordinated attacks across the roads of southern Israel. Through raw, unfiltered stories from victims, survivors, and first responders, the film reveals the unimaginable violence that turned Israel’s peaceful roads into scenes of horror. The Killing Roads captures the devastating reality of those who endured this nightmare.”
On 31 January, 2024, Wade was running out of time. He had tried everything to persuade his 28-year-old daughter, Marge, that she could get better. But Marge had been scheduled to die by assisted suicide at 2 p.m. the next day at the family’s home in Alberta, Canada. He was horrified. Marge was autistic, vulnerable, and had no diagnosed physical illness. Her autism made her different from her peers — and lonely, no doubt — but Wade knew this was no reason to terminate a young life.
He had to do something. So he went to the courts. The legal claim he filed on that frigid winter day would put Wade on a quest no father should have to face: saving his daughter’s life from a Canadian health system that at times appears more committed to delivering death than protecting health. By taking legal action, he managed to delay Marge’s death for a while. But he is set to lose the battle.
“Hal Puthoff is a physicist researching energy generation, space propulsion, and other related topics. He is the president and CEO of EarthTech International, Inc., and director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin.”
Then there’s this nonsense, the last time the “UFO” mothership was literally a lamp shade reflected in a window.
If ufology had a “three strikes and you’re out” policy for atrocious research and anyone stupid enough not to verify their own claim it’s an alien spaceship, how many leading “experts” or disclosure advocates would be still playing the game? #ufox#disclosure#ufopic.twitter.com/4P2fjLo1eu

People are screaming at Elizondo, with good reason.
Beginning in 2001, the Austrian anthropologist Bernd Brabec de Mori spent six years living in the western Amazon. He first arrived as a backpacker, returned to do a master’s thesis on ayahuasca songs, and eventually did a PhD on the music of eight Indigenous peoples in the region. Along the way, he married a woman of the local Shipibo tribe and settled down.
“I did not have a lot of money,” he told me, “so I had to make my living there.” He became a teacher. He built a house. He and his wife had children. That rare experience of joining the community, he said, forced him to realise that many of the assumptions he had picked up as an anthropologist were wrong.
Like most outsiders, Brabec de Mori arrived in Peru thinking that ayahuasca had been used in the western Amazon for thousands of years. This is the standard narrative; look up resources on ayahuasca, and you’re bound to run into it. “Ayahuasca has been used in the Peruvian Amazon for millennia, long before the Spanish came to Peru, before the Incan empire was formed, before history,” states the website of the Ayahuasca Foundation, an organisation founded by a US citizen that offers ayahuasca retreats.
The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation in British Columbia was classified as a “priority client” for federal grants after it announced the discovery of 215 potential children’s graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, newly released records show.
Blacklock’s Reporter says before the 2021 announcement, federal documents reveal that the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, with a population of 1,500, had twice been denied funding by the Department of Heritage, including a request to support the development of a local museum.
Daniel Fotheringham watched election coverage from his travel trailer on an oil-and-gas job site Monday night with a mixture of resignation, determination and fury.
“I was yelling at the TV,” he said.
“Personally, at this point I‘m now behind the separation of Alberta.”

Some of the United States’ Vietnam War opponents found refuge in Canada. Fifty years after the end of the war, they’re still worried about the future.
The presidential pardon signed by Jimmy Carter in 1977 was a sweeping invitation to thousands of Americans to come home and help heal a nation torn apart by the Vietnam War. Those who had left for Canada to avoid the draft had wanted no part of the conflict, which killed about 60,000 Americans.
Canada had offered a refuge. It did not support the war and was willing to welcome, with few questions asked, those crossing the border.
Many war resisters, or draft dodgers as they were often called by others, were not interested in returning when Mr. Carter made his amnesty offer. Their decisions had come with high costs: ruptured family ties, broken friendships and, often, shame. While some hailed those who went to Canada as principled, others considered them cowardly.
How would the media react if Donald Trump had received a quarter of a billion dollars from Russia or China just prior to his presidential bid? It’s easy to guess: screaming headlines, indignant calls for impeachment, prosecution, demands for the electric chair. Every news anchor, political pundit, intelligence expert lining up to denounce the travesty with letters signed by infinite lists of former and acting national security officials, etc. And that’s for starters.
But progressive technocrat Mark Carney flies to Beijing to obtain $300M from the Bank of China four months prior to being appointed prime minister by Canada’s Liberal Party, calls snap elections, which he wins without a majority, and the media only praises him. Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre highlighted Carney’s compromised relations with China on nationally televised debates. He also pointed out how the former Bank of Canada governor and U.N. point man on climate change staunchly supported CCP-linked Liberal MP Paul Chiang, calling for goon squads to persecute opponents.
