Thank China: Republicans and Communists Agree on Data Centers

Thank China: Republicans and Communists Agree on Data Centers

You have to hand it to China’s cognitive warfare warriors: Republican politicians are now joining pro-China communists in working against the clear long-term interests of the United States. They are all united against building data centers on American soil.

There are, of course, legitimate concerns about these facilities, but protests against them, which have hit the U.S. like a hurricane in recent weeks, are not entirely organic.

Why Avi Lewis’s NDP is eyeing Toronto for its rebuild

Why Avi Lewis’s NDP is eyeing Toronto for its rebuild

As NDP MPs meet in Toronto for their fall caucus retreat, the party is still in rough shape politically and financially.

Federal New Democrats are digging themselves out of their election debt. Their leader still doesn’t have a seat in the House of Commons. And their tiny caucus enters the fall Parliamentary sitting even smaller, after one MP joined the Liberals and another left.

But that’s the one-sided view of the party held by those in the Ottawa political bubble, as NDP Leader Avi Lewis often likes to say. He and others say the New Democrat movement is ripe for a revival — and they think the city of Toronto offers a path forward.

‘Army of Christian patriots’: how a black-clad vigilante group swarmed Portsmouth

Just a few days ago, Daniel “Tommo” Thomas let a group of fellow far-right sympathisers in the north-west of England into a secret. “Groups of men all across the United Kingdom are joining up as one, as one group of resistance,” said Thomas, who served a prison sentence for attempted kidnapping and is a former bodyguard to Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. “Something is about to go down and it is about to send a fucking shock wave. What is the end goal of all of this? It is to start something that will then snowball. Once we pull this off it will then snowball across the country.”


Imagine that. The illegal alien horde boats set off from Normandy.
