Happy Thursday!

It’s an iced Brew for a chunk of the country this morning. National Dance Day may well turn into National Dance and Land On Your Bottom Day. So be careful today, if you’re getting a groove on outdoors.

#PrayforUkraine

Russia launched a swift and widespread attack across Ukraine overnight. Please join us in praying for the people of Ukraine. Here is our story on the launch of the attack.  The question is how far will it go? 

Trudeau Drops Emergencies Act … Once It Was Clear Canadian Senate Would Not Go Along

Justin Trudeau reversed course Wednesday and ended his emergency declaration. Trudeau acted to revoke the Emergencies Act declaration after it became clear the Canadian Senate was going to vote against continuing its implementation. 

Everything That’s Gone Wrong With Biden Administration? It’s All Russia’s Fault.

Gas prices have been soaring since Biden was sworn in, inflation has been at generational highs for months on end, and the supply-chain crises went into overdrive last summer while Pete Buttigieg was on maternity leave. But guess who CBS is blaming it all on? Biden’s failed policies? Tsk. Tsk.

It’s all Russia‘s fault.

This would be hysterical, if it wasn’t so dangerous. Blaming our year-long self-inflicted domestic disasters on a nuclear-powered foe in the midst of perhaps fully invading a neighbor of our NATO allies is the kind of thing that easily spirals out of control.

By the way, CBS, how is it Putin’s fault that Biden has turned us into a net importer of oil again after two years of America being a net exporter?

And it certainly isn’t Putin who’s waging war on the coal industry. The Biden Administration’s latest move is to tally the “social costs of carbon.” Put a greater squeeze on coal plants. Because, you know, climate change. Don’t mean to burst anybody’s bubble, but anyone consider the carbon footprint of Russia and Ukraine sending chunks of Europe up in smoke?

After such a sobering thought, we need a laugh. Here’s a gut buster from Justin Castro … er, Trudeau.

'We are taking these actions today to stand against authoritarianism': Canada's Trudeau decries Russian aggression against Ukraine https://t.co/MrhI2uXA65

Says the guy who declared martial law because some truckers and bouncy houses were parked near his crib. I’d say “Look in the mirror, bub,” but he’d probably just kiss it.

Trudeau calling someone “authoritarian” is like Taylor Swift saying someone’s “shy of commitment.”

It’s like CNN reporting on how misinformation is used to create false narratives for the public.

Oh, wait…

A Story of One of The Truckers That Trudeau Dubbed a White Supremacist/Nazi Worthy of Having His Life Ruined …

… as reported by a reporter from the Canadian network that’s been carrying Trudeau’s water.

It’s an amazing and very telling story about just who Trudeau has declared martial law … heck, war on. CBC reporter Ashley Burke posted this Wednesday on her Instagram.

CBC’s van slide (sic) off the road & got stuck in a ditch beside the protesters’ camp in Arnprior. A demonstrator named Tyson Garneau wearing a “defund the CBC” hat pulled us out knowing we were CBC journalists. He said he’d never leave anyone stuck like that.

Garneau says he’s been sleeping the back of his truck during the “freedom” convoy & arrived at the Arnprior camp today after visiting the camp in Vankleek Hill. He lost his job as a trucker & doesn’t know what comes next but said he wants freedom for his grandkids.

The link leads you to pictures and video of the van rescue … and his windshield decked with pictures of Tyson’s grandkids. Trudeau, you want to dump this guy in a ditch? We’ll take him.

Quick Comment on Kamala Harris’ Overseas Disaster

Nonsensical answers, lecturing Europe on the dangers of a war in Europe, while getting the history wrong, talking on the world stage like she was addressing a rowdy glee club. “Listen, you guys …” Kamala Harris’ performance in Europe, at a time when the world needed her to step up, was an unmitigated disaster. She was clearly unprepared.

I can hear the ghost of former VP nominee Lloyd Bensen. “I knew Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle was an opponent of mine. Madam Vice President, you’re no Dan Quayle.”

Senility and incompetence may make for great late night sketches … if Saturday Night Live and the Colberts and Kimmels dared mock Democrats … but with Europe on the brink, we simply can’t have it.

How much have you prayed for the nation in the past 24 hours? Prayed for our leaders?

Speaking of which, is there anybody at the high reaches of government that impresses on the world stage? The Secretary of State? The Secretary of Defense? Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? How about U.N. Ambassador? What about Speaker of the House? Senate Majority Leader?

“That’s Uncle Sam walking into the room? Really?! I thought it was the caterer.”

The Two Prosecutors Gunning for Trump in New York Suddenly Quit

Curious. You know how hell bent New York prosecutors have been on nailing Trump for … well, anything. But suddenly, the two top prosecutors in the criminal investigation of Trump up and quit Wednesday No official reason was given by the Manhattan D.A. for Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz’s sudden departure.

However, New York Times sources indicate the pair bolted after new D.A. Alvin Bragg raised doubts about pursuing the case against Trump. A case started under former D.A. and partisan Cyrus Vance, but the grand jury hasn’t heard evidence in over a month. The resignations “throw the future of the investigation into serious doubt.”

The investigation centered on whether Trump inflated the value of his assets to obtain favorable loan terms from banks. Or more accurately, because his name is “Donald Trump.”

Two of Hunter’s Ex-Flames Testify Before Grand Jury

From Newsmax: “Two of Hunter Biden’s ex-lovers reportedly have testified before the federal grand jury investigating the President’s son.” (Jonathan Turley has an article about it.)

I wonder if they were old enough to drive to the courthouse on their own.

They were. One was the Lunden Roberts, the former stripper who mothered Joe Biden’s three-year-old grandchild. Not that Joe and Jill have acknowledged the little girl. Why do we care today? When Lunden told Hunter she was pregnant, he first denied having any money to support the child. The guy who pulled in $31 million from China, millions from Ukraine, and $3.5 million from a Russian oligarch hoping to whisk her dough out of Russia.

Then Hunter put her on the payroll of his investment firm Rosemont Seneca, which is part of the investigation into the Biden Family connections to the Bank of China. How sleazy are you when hiring a stripper increases the integrity of your company.

The Stream’s John Zmirak pleads, “Don’t Let the Biden Regime Suck Us Into a Possible Nuclear War to Cover It’s Failures.” (And it’s not just Biden.)

Dwight Longenecker says if society really wants “Diversity, Inclusion and Equity,” the only answer is Christ.
