Florida AG Subpoenas SPLC Over Deceptive Fundraising, Hate Group ‘Informants’

“If these allegations are true, there will be consequences,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier promised Monday, announcing he has launched a probe into the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) “alleged deceptive and unfair practices related to charitable solicitations and fundraising.”

“The SPLC raises millions in charitable donations every year, while allegedly paying members and leaders within the very groups it purports to fight,” Uthmeier wrote on X.com, linking to a press release. “SPLC appears to be running a deceptive organization that pays informants to manufacture racism on its behalf.”

Copenhagen Climate Cultists Cut Almost All Meat Out of Diet for Senior Citizens

Copenhagen Climate Cultists Cut Almost All Meat Out of Diet for Senior Citizens

The climate cult is a religion that pretends to be science. It has sinners and saints, heretics and adherents to the orthodoxy, and, of course, the Inquisition and at least metaphorical burning of witches.

Its more extreme advocates resort to violence and vandalism, but the establishment cultists become technocrats who use institutional power to punish the sinners.

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The majority of Canadian and American women under age 40 do not yet have children, signalling a broad shift in when and whether people are choosing to have families.

Both countries now face a deepening fertility crisis. For Canada, it’s stark, with the country hitting a record-low fertility rate of 1.25 children per woman in 2024, putting it on the ultra-low fertility list — below 1.30 — alongside Japan, Singapore and Spain.

Is Doug Ford losing the room?

Is Doug Ford losing the room?

Think about the last time you booked a flight. Did you flinch at the price? Did you double-check the total before clicking “confirm”? That’s the sort of small hesitation Ontario voters may be experiencing now.

Our latest tracking survey with the Star, conducted with 1,000 adults across the province last month, found the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals in a statistical tie among committed voters. And the proportion of voters having a strong desire for change has climbed 12 points since October, to 54 per cent. For a government that’s spent much of the past year with leads north of 20 points, this should serve as a warning sign.


He’s not a conservative. Simple as that.

Honda abandoning plans for $15-billion EV plant in Ontario, Japanese news source says

Honda is abandoning plans to build a $15-billion EV plant in Ontario because of slumping demand, according to a report by Nikkei, Japan’s leading business publication.

Honda’s failed bet on electric vehicles means the Japanese auto giant will have to stretch the lifecycles of five top-selling vehicles “in some cases to more than a decade,” according to a supplier memo seen by Automotive News.

Will Germany resurrect the Nord Stream pipelines?

Will Germany resurrect the Nord Stream pipelines?

Germany will do “everything in our power” to ensure that the Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia are not brought back into service, a cabinet minister has said.

The 760-mile route along the floor of the Baltic Sea, previously a symbol of Europe’s dependence on Moscow for fossil fuels, was rendered largely inoperable in September 2022 by a series of underwater explosions, which Berlin attributed to a team of Ukrainian saboteurs.

High food prices might be the most toxic form of personal-finance adversity in the past six years

High food prices might be the most toxic form of personal-finance adversity in the past six years

The R-word looms over the Canadian economy in 2026.

That’s resilience, not recession. Businesses have slogged through trade war uncertainty for more than a year, and the Iran war has generated big increases in fuel costs. Yet the latest numbers tell us the economy delivered modest growth for four straight months, overall inflation remains subdued and the jobless rate has been steady.

Robot wars – what an operation in Ukraine tells us about the battlefield of the near future

The battlefield in Ukraine could soon feature more robot than human soldiers – that is the startling claim made by a Ukrainian-British military start-up.

The BBC visited UFORCE at its London premises, which are unbranded and discreet, a measure the company says is intended to protect it from potential Russian sabotage.

I wanted to know more about the company because of its involvement in what Ukraine says was an unprecedented military operation: enemy territory being seized using only robots and drones.
