November 12, 2024–Just when I think the Loonies on the Left can’t get any more unhinged, they go and surprise me. We’ve seen a plethora of liberals—mostly women, but a few putative males—posting their mental breakdowns on social media for the last week. It’s been completely predictable, and the “déjà vu all over again vibe” has been the same toxic stew of rage, angst, disbelief and tearful virtual-signaling we saw in 2016, turned up to 11 and the knob twisted off. I’d never heard of the 4B mov...

While the dangers are real, there are also things that can be done to protect yourself from falling victim to a scam or having your...
Aeroplan is considered Canada's top loyalty program and one of the most lucrative frequent flier programs available today. Recent changes have come into play that have added a lot of value to being a member, including family sharing and the fact that every seat is now available. However, no program is perfect, and Aeroplan has a couple of downsides too—the biggest drawback being the dynamic pricing which means, in some cases, flights will cost more points than they did before. That being s...

Over the past decade, researchers have made strides in understanding the link between two seemingly unrelated organs: the gut and the brain. Findings from microbiologists, neurologists, and nutritionists who study the gut-brain axis, or the interaction between these two essential organs, all point to the profound influence the gut has on the brain, and vice versa. But how exactly does this connection work? It starts with what's called the gut microbiome, or the trillions of microorganisms...

November 13, 2024 - Let me state the obvious: Mike Johnson has done a phenomenal job as Speaker of the House. Anyone who says otherwise is either gravely misinformed or refuses to see the truth. When he took the gavel, the media and the Democrat leadership were lined up, ready to tear him down before he even had a chance to breathe. They painted him as inexperienced, a placeholder who could never lead in these turbulent times. But, boy, were they wrong. Mike Johnson stepped into the breach...
