What if they gave a Watergate but no one in the corporate news media came?

A little while ago, I blogged about how the Biden administration had spied on eight Republican senators. And I thought, “wow, this is 8 times worse than Watergate, will anyone go to jail for this?” Well, now we have 100 times worse than Watergate. This is a HUGE news story. Super journalist Catherine Herridge covered it. But no one in the corporate news media has covered it.

So, here’s the article in The Federalist, written by Beth Brelje, my new favorite author there.

Beth writes:

The Joe Biden-era FBI’s Arctic Frost operation — which targeted nearly every facet of the Republican Party and the conservative movement — was described Wednesday as “100 times worse than Watergate,” but the propaganda press still chose to ignore it. Larger new outlets turned a blind eye to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s press conference detailing how the FBI tried to tank President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign by using its authority to invasively gather data on some 430 Republican individuals and entities.

She notes that this bombshell story was not featured in the The New York Times, or Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post, or the CNN, ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News websites.

What do you think will happen to the people involved? If it were up to me, I would charge them with treason, and send them to Guantanomo Bay.

But Daily Signal has a more realistic prediction:

As revelations about former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol protest come to light, an investigation of the investigator could go in several different directions.

Those directions include criminal charges against certain Justice Department personnel, civil rights lawsuits against federal agencies, a judicial impeachment, and presidential pardons, legal experts say.

[…]On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called for the impeachment of Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Boasberg signed off on a gag order in 2023 to prevent businesses that were subpoenaed from informing their clients. That included preventing AT&T from notifying Cruz that his cellphone records were being collected by investigators.

[…]There is the potential for criminally prosecuting Justice Department personnel who were part of Smith’s investigative team, said Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project, a watchdog group.

The charge of conspiracy against rights would apply anytime two or more individuals plotted to threaten, injure, or intimidate another American to prevent him from exercising his constitutional rights—in this case, the right to free speech and freedom of assembly, as well as the right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

I think this would be a wonderful story to have floating around in the news right up until the 2026 mid-term elections. Help voters to understand which political party really does use government as a weapon against their political opponents… just like Hitler did.

Do you ever wonder why people on the left are so uninformed? It’s not because they’re stupid. It’s because they choose to consume news sources that make them feel superior to Republicans. They don’t know about these stories, because the brain is not in charge of how they are informed. The heart is in charge. And the heart says “you aren’t allowed to read anything that makes me feel bad”. And that’s why they don’t know about these stories.

So, if you want to make a difference before the next election, why not share that article from The Federalist on your social media pages? Might as well help people to understand the need to vote Republican. In every election. Fascism should not be allowed to happen again, like it did under the Obama and Biden regimes.

Canada’s national ban on bolt-action hunting rifles and shotguns has started

A while back on this blog, I blogged about a case where a Canadian homeowner was awakened in the middle of the night by an armed intruder. The homeowner defended himself from the armed intruder. The intruder was air-lifted to a hospital, and the Canadian police arrested and charged the homeowner with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

Not content to have banned self-defense, but now they want to ban possession of bolt-action rifles and shotguns.

Here’s the story from Daily Signal:

Gun control in America’s northern neighbor has moved into confiscation phase, as Nova Scotia, Canada’s east coast province, kicked off a pilot program of “voluntary” gun buybacks in September, while the western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan say they will not comply.

The national ban was originally decreed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2020, covering 1,500 models of rifles, but has since been expanded to include more than 2,500 models. And while the ban is purported to cover “semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability,” the list of prohibited firearms also includes more traditional bolt-action rifles and shotguns commonly used in hunting.

[…]The program will go nationwide later this fall.

[…]Canadians gun owners have complied with strict regulations but accepted the government’s pledges that it would respect the rights of hunters and sports shooters, he said. That compact has now been broken.

Naturally, the criminals aren’t going to turn in their guns. It’s just the law-abiding people who have to.

The article notes that failure to hand over your guns to the federal government is a criminal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This applies to people who live in rural areas who might have to deal with dangerous wildlife, as well. So it’s not just threats from violent rapists and murderers, it’s threats from animals that could literally kill you. The government just tells people “call the police” and “comply with the criminal’s orders”. I am not joking.

Colion Noir has actual video of the Canadian police explaining:

The article also notes that this ban on bolt-action rifles and shotguns was actually enacted by executive order. It was not passed through the House and Senate and signed into law. It’s just the command of the dictator who runs the poorly-named Liberal Party of Canada.

Look at what the criminal justice system is like in Canada:

A British Columbia court sentenced a 24-year-old refugee to probation and a suspended sentence on Wednesday over a violent stabbing incident in Vancouver last November.

Mohamed Abdalla Mohamed Elbahloul pleaded guilty to assault in connection with the stabbing and slashing of one man, and a minor charge related to the assault of another.

[…]Elbahloul was provided with a knife by one of his companions and used it to stab the victim’s stomach and then proceeded to also cut his legs. The victim required medical attention as a result of the fight.

Elbahloul also admitted to kicking another victim who was on the ground during the altercation.

[…]Judge Kathryn Denhoff acknowledged the seriousness of the crimes but noted that neither victim provided an impact statement.

She also considered what she called the challenging circumstances of Elbahloul’s background.

Displaced by war in his home country of Libya at a young age, Elbahloul experienced significant violence and loss, Denhoff argued in her decision.

This story reminds me of my recent blog post that talked about the consequences of having a feminized legal system. Compassion for criminals, and too bad for their victims.

This happens all the time, actually:

Recently, a Pakistani national narrowly avoided deportation due to a last-minute intervention by the Liberal government, despite participating in infrastructure blockades alongside climate extremist groups.

Do you think that it’s safe to travel to a country like this? I would avoid traveling to Canada at all costs. It’s not a safe country. And the police and criminal courts have zero liability for the results of their pro-criminal, anti-self-defense policies. You pay them, you are raped and murdered, and they don’t face any consequences for it. And the majority of their voters are OK with that.

The three simplest examples of cosmic fine-tuning

On this blog, I have said repeatedly that I keep three examples of the fine-tuning in my back pocket, ready to go, because they are the ones that make the most sense to me, based on my memory of taking physics and chemistry courses. I thought it might make a good post to just write about them, and you can see if you want to memorize them, too. It’s a good argument, and non-theists respect it.

So, first, let me just explain what the argument is. Basically, if you remember in your high school physics textbook, there were lots of numbers for well-known constants and quantities, such as the speed of light and the gravitational constant. What they never told you was that if you change most of those quantities and constants, then the universe would not be able to support life. Not just life as we know it, but any conceivable kind of complex life.

It’s not as though you can change these constants, and you will just have Spock-ears, or green skin, or nose ridges. No. If you change these constants and quantities, terrible horrible things will happen to your universe. Maybe it recollapses into a hot fire ball. Maybe you have no galaxies. Maybe you have no stars. Maybe you have no elements heavier than hydrogen. Or maybe you have no hydrogen. All bad things! All the bad things that wreck the ability of your universe to support life.

So, without further ado, let me tell you THREE of the best evidences for fine-tuning that even a child can understand. Well, maybe not a child, but you can understand them, OK?

Here they are:

Amount of Matter in the Universe:

The universe’s total stuff—stars, galaxies, gas clouds, dark matter—sets its expansion path. Too much stuff, and gravity would’ve crushed the universe into a hot dense fireball after the Big Bang. Too little, and matter in the universe would scatter, never forming galaxies or stars. The universe has the perfect weight to create galaxies and stars. This balance lets stars and planets form stable homes for life.

Strong Nuclear Force:

This force binds protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, forming elements like hydrogen, helium, and carbon, vital for human bodies. If 2% stronger, protons would stick too tightly, depleting hydrogen, so stars couldn’t burn properly, and water wouldn’t form. If 5% weaker, only hydrogen would exist, like a chemistry class with one element on the chalkboard. The precise setting that we have ensures the a diverse variety of different elements, allowing stars to shine and life’s chemistry to work.

Cosmic Expansion Rate:

The universe expands at a speed set by the cosmological constant’s dark energy, like a balloon being carefully inflated. If slightly faster, matter would scatter too thinly, preventing stars or galaxies. If slower, gravity would clump everything into black holes. The universe grows at the ideal speed to allow galaxies, stars, and planets to form a cosmic stage where life can thrive.

By the way, the first and the third are distinct constants that work together, like ingredients in a recipe.

Conclusion

So, there are the three I have memorized. If you have time for discuss one, use the strong force. And by the way, if you are dealing with an atheist, you can give him the book “Just Six Numbers” by the famous atheist astronomer Martin Rees. Rees talks about several instances of fine-tuning, including the strong force. To escape the evidence for a Designer, he has to invent a multiverse (for which there is NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE). There’s actually evidence against the multiverse, and we talked about it in our podcast episode on the cosmic fine-tuning (transcript here).

If you want a good introductory book about this topic, I like Dr. Mike Strauss’ “The Creator Revealed”. And he’s a real experimental particle physicist, too. I’ve met him in person! Anyway, I hope you have fun with this list. According to the Bible, the Boss used evidence when appealing to skeptics, and so you must use evidence, too, if you want to follow the Leader.
