While the CNN reference taking up several pages could have been omitted, Mercola's pulled together a number of studies and reports that are showing alarming trends around the whole GLP-1 drug craze. He then lists a number of more useful steps a person can take if they want the purported results of GLP-1 without risking the adverse side effects that are growing in number out there. Repairing your gut is at the top of the list, because a certain gut bacterium is known to do the job that many GLP-1 drugs claim to do, without the side effects. If you want to see the studies for yourself, go to the end of his article and click on the papers you want to read. The footnotes will take you directly to each paper or article.

If you would like assistance with putting that workable list into practice, or wanting to know what foods, herbs and spices can help you achieve a similar goal, reach out to me and lets chat.

Canada's public health agency is waging war against meat, but in the broader focus, against protein in general. Health Canada has been targetting chicken farms in the Lower Mainland of BC, and turkey farms out in Ontario, killing what one article called "millions of birds" out there! This of course will drive up the cost of poultry and eggs. Health Canada has also set their sites on the beef industry in Canada, and recently declared a recall on one of the currently most-affordable options to get beef back into low-income diets, No Name Beef Patties in their trademark yellow box with black lettering. The concern this time, is potential E.Coli poisoning, although they state in the article that no one has fallen ill yet, but that testing may expand the recall to a wider range of products!

Maybe its my lack of trust in the mainstream establishment, but this all sounds contrived, and very much agenda-driven. Click through to read my suggestions on how you can get around government-driven ill health:

CANADIAN BIRTH RATE VS. MASS IMMIGRATION

...from friendly and/or hostile cultures towards the west,
is not only an important but also an urgent conversation we need to have!

Can we survive without it?

With current 1.25 birth rate per woman in Canada, and the minimum birth rate sociology experts recommended to prevent a society from going instinct is 2.1 per biological and socially Canadian women in Canada.

Not the Canadian only by paper yet their hearts belong to a more sinister demographic take over agenda for a hostile religion or non-Canadian culture, but actual Canadian women in hearts and minds, not only by birth but a woman espousing authentic Canadian social, cultural and family values, married to an authentic Canadian man in heart and mind!

Is migration a necessary evil we have to embrace?

There is also double standards in Canada about growing your family. Islamic polygamists, Muslims having 3 ,4, 5 or more wives are not on the radar of the authorities, they have effectively turned a blind eye that this is actually happening in Canada, despite the blatant declaration of the Islamist that one of their methods to take over western societies is by demographic shifts.

Muslims are indeed showing the fastest growth by birth rate in Canada and the west. Christian polygamists like the fundamentalist latter day saints and others are raided and vilified constantly by the authorities! Why the double standards?

Muslim women in Canada have an average fertility rate of 2.4 children per woman. This is notably higher than the general Canadian population, which averaged approximately 1.4 to 1.6 children per woman in recent periods.

Child-bearing Age: A larger proportion of the Muslim population is entering or is currently in child-bearing years. Roughly 26.3% of Muslims are under the age of 15, compared to only 16.5% of the total Canadian population.

Islam allows adult Muslim men to take 9 year old girls as their wives and get them pregnant at a young age!

Population Projections
Current Proportion: As of early 2026, Muslims represent approximately 5% to 5.2% of Canada's total population.

Future Growth: Projections estimate the Muslim population will reach 2.7 million by 2030 (about 6.6% of the population) and could rise to 5.9 million (12.6%) by 2050.

Western women had been socially engineered since the mid 60's to embrace careers and shun starting families early.

This socially engineered mindset had been installed to become an individualist value and belief system by design to undermine population growth in Western societies!

Economists are also weighing in.

Unless an economy is on a constant growth trajectory, it is on a constant decline. Economies are like bi-directional rivers/creeks it's going only one way or the other it cannot stand still.

Economic growth is also closely tied to population growth. When the population growth rate of a society is on a constant decline, it's economy is also on a constant recession. That translate directly to inflation and how we are able to afford food and necessities and all the retail prices in groceries, at the pumps and shopping malls!

If we have to embrace migration to prevent extinction of our society and maintain the growth of our economy, should we be bringing in migration from hostile cultures or migrants compatible with Western Values?

What difference does it make if we selectively vs indiscriminately import migration from other Christian societies, Hinduist societies, Islamic societies, caste discrimination societies, honour killings societies, communist societies, sharia law societies, public defecating societies, narco-economic societies? Does it make a difference, should we discriminate or just bring the entire world in, the good the bad and the ugly?

Let's have an honest , adult and meaningful conversation about this!

Property Taxes: Socialist Theft in Disguise

The Inherent Unfairness and Socialist Underpinnings of Property Taxes: A Deep Dive into Coercive Wealth Redistribution

Property taxes stand as one of the most insidious forms of government overreach, embodying the socialist ethos that private ownership is merely a temporary illusion until the state decides otherwise. At their core, these taxes treat your home, land, or business not as your rightful property but as a communal asset ripe for plundering based on arbitrary assessments of its “value.” Unlike voluntary market transactions where prices reflect supply, demand, and mutual agreement, property taxes escalate simply because some bureaucrat deems your asset worth more — often due to factors beyond your control, like neighborhood improvements funded by others or inflation-driven appraisals. Imagine buying a modest house for $200,000, only to see your tax bill double a decade later because gentrification or zoning changes inflated its assessed value to $400,000, even though your income hasn’t budged. This isn’t fairness; it’s a punitive system that punishes success and stability. Food prices don’t skyrocket because your home appreciated; neither does gasoline or a haircut. Yet the state, in its infinite wisdom, demands more for the “privilege” of owning what you’ve already paid for, all while providing the same mediocre services — roads that crumble, schools that under-perform, and police response times that lag regardless of your tax bracket. This Marxist-inspired mechanism collapses the moment we refuse to view private property as public domain, subject to endless reclamation by the collective.

Delving deeper, the percentage-based structure of property taxes is nothing more than a sleight-of-hand designed to mask raw dollar extraction. Governments don’t budget in percentages; they spend in cold, hard cash for fixed costs like infrastructure, public safety, and bloated administrative empires. A wealthy homeowner with a multimillion-dollar estate already shoulders a wildly disproportionate share of these expenses through higher assessments, yet they consume far less per capita than lower-value property owners. They don’t send fleets of kids to public schools (opting for private education instead), they rarely burden public hospitals with frequent visits (thanks to premium healthcare), and they certainly don’t rely on welfare programs funded by these very taxes. Why, then, should their tax liability balloon simply because their property’s paper value rose? This isn’t about equitable contribution; it’s envy-fueled socialism, where the state plays Robin Hood with your assets, redistributing wealth from producers to parasites under the guise of “community benefit.” Consider the elderly widow on a fixed income whose family home, bought decades ago, now faces skyrocketing taxes due to market surges — she’s forced to sell her lifelong sanctuary to satisfy the taxman’s greed. Billionaires like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos pay millions in property taxes on their holdings, funding services they barely touch, while subsidized housing residents pay pennies or nothing. This imbalance exposes the hypocrisy: property taxes aren’t about paying for what you use; they’re about leveling the playing field by dragging down those who’ve built or inherited value, echoing Karl Marx’s call to abolish private property in favor of collective control.

Exposing the Fallacies: From Unrealized Gains to Envy Masquerading as Justice

<Continued on the Web>

Fun fact: Congressional Republicans are just as up in arms about the MISSING $9 BILLION in Minnesota, as they were about:

* The open border
* The student loan repayment
* The illeglas invasion
* The January 6th Hoax

But all they ever did about those things was CRY ABOUT THEM.

So here we are, with full control AGAIN -- Presidency, House, Senate, SCOTUS -- and they're still WHINING instead of dropping the hammer.

No indictments rolling on the Bidens, Clintons, or the Pelosi insider traders.
No arrests for election meddlers or Deep State Trump-targeters.
No prosecutions for COVID liars or lab-leak cover-ups.
No mass charges for border traitors like Mayorkas.
AND STILL NO handcuffs for welfare fraud kings like Walz or Omar.

They rage about corruption but won't touch the untouchables.
They scream "lock her up" but lock up nobody.

MAGA gave them the keys -- twice.
They handed them back to the swamp.

It's Time to READ YOUR CONSTITUTION AND FIGHT BACK . . . or just watch the crooks laugh while they fund-raise off our anger.

Enough excuses.

INDICT OR WE TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK -- ONE WAY OR ANOTHER . . .

Swamp Leader Thune Accused of Laundering Millions – Explains the Trump Betrayal?

In a bombshell that’s got the swamp sweating, Senate Majority Leader John Thune — supposedly a Republican — is staring down an FEC complaint accusing him of orchestrating a whopping $1.1 million money laundering scheme into his campaign coffers through “smurfing,” that sleazy tactic of splintering big bucks into tiny donations using stolen identities of unsuspecting seniors. Filed by sharp-eyed investigator Peter Bernegger, the gripe fingers Thune and his treasurer Nicole Weyers for allegedly funneling cash straight from the U.S. Treasury, painting Thune as just another “pretend Republican” who’s spent over 40 years sucking at the government teat without a real job in sight. Bernegger’s no rookie; he’s nailed similar scams against turncoats like Lindsey Graham and a slew of Democrats, exposing how platforms like WinRed become playgrounds for fraudsters. If this holds water — and early buzz suggests it’s legit — it’s no wonder Thune’s been dragging his feet on anything Trump-related, from ditching the race in 2016 to cheerleading the endless Ukraine cash grab while blocking votes to cut off the Taliban’s weekly allowance.

This FEC fiasco shines a glaring light on why Thune’s been about as helpful to Trump’s agenda as a screen door on a submarine, stonewalling efforts to codify those powerhouse executive orders into ironclad law — because let’s face it, most Republicans are neck-deep in the same graft and fraud game as the Democrats, lining their pockets while pretending to fight the system. Thune’s history of backstabbing Trump, from begging him to bow out for Pence to enabling endless foreign aid boondoggles, screams “controlled opposition,” bought and paid for by the same deep-state donors who thrive on chaos and corruption. As Bernegger’s complaint ripples out, it’s a wake-up call for real conservatives: time to purge these RINOs who talk a big game but deliver zilch, proving once again that Trump’s the only one draining the swamp while the rest wallow in it. If Republicans want to keep the majority, they’d better start acting like it — or get ready for the MAGA broom to sweep them out.

B.C.’s former chief coroner says province’s drug policies should be “more woke”!

On International Human Rights Day, B.C.’s Human Rights Commissioner hosted a virtual panel urging a shift to a so-called “human rights-based approach” to the province’s drug overdose crisis, featuring former chief coroner Lisa Lapointe, who said the province’s policies need to be “more woke.”

The December 10 Zoom event, organized by the B.C. Office of the Human Rights Commissioner and titled “Beyond the Headlines: B.C.’s Toxic Drug Crisis, a human rights conversation,” opened with several land acknowledgments and emphasized the crisis as not only a public health emergency but also a “violation of human rights.”

Indiana GOP senator causes uproar with AI images of himself clobbering Santa — then calls critics ‘snowflakes’!

An Indiana state senator sparked an uproar online after posting AI-generated images of himself clobbering Santa Claus in front of cheering fans on Christmas day — then mocked outraged critics as “snowflakes.”

Sen. Chris Garten, a two-term Republican, shared four faux photos to his official X page of him in a sleeveless suit pummeling, kicking, and body slamming a terrified St. Nick in a crazed beatdown on the steps of the Indiana State Capitol as onlookers celebrated and waved “Garten for Indiana” signs.

Another snap shows the Senate Majority Floor Leader riding a reindeer in a bare-armed Santa outfit and sunglasses, flexing a comically jacked bicep in victory.
