They cannot continue the fiction any longer.</p> <p>To illustrate how ridiculous Canada’s public life is, the findings by the <a href="https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/">RCMP</a> and government were entirely driven by a government-funded Non-Governmental Organization, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, or <a href="http://www.antihate.ca/">CAHN</a>.</p> <p>The group was used in a perfect illustration of the <em>Iron Triangle of government and bureaucratic action</em>.

Kayan women practice their tradition of beauty starting at age five. The young girls have a few brass coils placed around their necks, adding to them progressively as they grow until in older adulthood they are wearing as many as two dozen – becoming what the world knows them as <em>Giraffe women</em>. (The Shan people call them "Padaung" meaning "long-necked," but they call themselves Kayan.)</p> <p>We are not here to gawk. We are here to make friends, treat them respectfully, and learn about their traditions. It is an intensely memorable experience to meet these ladies.

The Carroll suit was largely subsidized by Reid Hoffman the billionaire capitalist, and mega-donor to the Democratic Party and leftwing causes.</p> <p>The subtext of Trump’s rage, aside from the outrageous monetary size of the defamation ruling, is that he was facing—and angered—a leftwing claimant, a quite hostile leftwing judge, and a leftwing New York jury.</p> <p>The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional leftwing criminal prosecutions, leftwing judges, and leftwing juries to come—<em>all on charges that would never had been filed if Trump either had not run for president or been a liberal progressive.</em></p> <p>Yet here we are.</p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/83-million/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-45359" class="art-post art-article post-45359 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-guest-authors category-c90-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-greatest-miscarriage-of-justice-in-modern-american-history/" rel="bookmark" title="THE GREATEST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY">THE GREATEST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="10:54 pm">January 30, 2024</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/guest-author/" title="View all posts by Raheem J.

Jean Carroll will doubtless be remembered for generations as the greatest miscarriage of justice in contemporary American history.</p> <p>Jean Carroll’s case was not just ludicrous on the face of it, but between the judge, the “experts” who testified, and the mechanisms by which the case even came to be, it’s impossible for any ordinary person in the West to see this as anything more than the continuation of a series of hoaxes perpetrated on former President Donald J. Trump with the desire to keep him from re-entering the Oval Office in January 2025.</p> <p>The story itself beggars belief.</p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-greatest-miscarriage-of-justice-in-modern-american-history/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-45357" class="art-post art-article post-45357 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-adventure-explore category-adventure-explore-membersonly" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-tomb-of-cyrus-the-great/" rel="bookmark" title="THE TOMB OF CYRUS THE GREAT">THE TOMB OF CYRUS THE GREAT</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:14 am">January 29, 2024</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><a href="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/40dde88eafe85050d5f6241fc2ae381e.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-31434" src="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/40dde88eafe85050d5f6241fc2ae381e.jpg" alt="jw-cyrus-the-great-tomb" width="442" height="352" /></a>In the vast valley of Pasargadae there stands this simple tomb with nothing around it for miles and miles. It has been like this for many centuries, for it entombs the founder of Persia, Cyrus the Great (600-530BC). Revered as the liberator of the Jews from their Babylonian captivity in 539 BC, hailed by Herodotus for his humanity and wisdom, this small structure symbolizes the humility of an extraordinary man. Yet the tomb is a structure of engineering genius, the oldest built on principles of base-isolation withstanding the countless earthquakes Persia has suffered for the last 2500 years.</p> <p>I was first here in 1973 when Persia (renamed Iran in 1933) flourished under the Shah. Here I am in 2014, when everyone I met expressed admiration for America and their contempt for the mullah tyranny they endured. I hope to return once more when the Land of Cyrus will be free again. <em>(</em><em>Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #</em><em>146 </em>Photo ©Jack Wheeler<em>)</em></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-tomb-of-cyrus-the-great/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-45354" class="art-post art-article post-45354 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-archives category-members-only-archives" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/sophisticated-stupidity-2/" rel="bookmark" title="SOPHISTICATED STUPIDITY">SOPHISTICATED STUPIDITY</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:13 am">January 29, 2024</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><strong><em><a href="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Fallen-Heroes.png"><img class="alignright wp-image-45355" src="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Fallen-Heroes.png" alt="fallen-heroes" width="681" height="323" /></a>TTP. June 2, 2004</em></strong></p> <p>It is tempting to hurl accusations of treason or something close to it in the face of the State Department’s chronic obsession of coddling America’s enemies. But with rare exceptions, the Pinstripes are far from traitors and look upon themselves as loyal Americans. Conservatives need to resist the urge to question their patriotism, and examine instead their method of diplomatic reasoning – which can be characterized as Sophisticated Stupidity.</p> <p>The Foggy Bottom Pinstripes are just as tribal as most everyone else, and wage wars against their rivals in competing tribal bureaucracies. They look upon the Pentagon as a rival not an ally. War is always seen by them as a failure – the failure of their diplomacy, not as Tallyrand described war as just another form of diplomacy.</p> <p>I’m going to give you an example – the critical example – of this, but first a warning. You’re going to say that this is so stupid it can’t be true – yet, sadly, this is actually the clear goal of the Near East Bureau of our State Department. Believe it or not, it is their desperate obsessively argued-for goal to have a strategic alliance with the Ayatollahs of Iran.</p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/sophisticated-stupidity-2/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-45333" class="art-post art-article post-45333 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-humor-file category-c75-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/dont-mess-with-texas-joe/" rel="bookmark" title="DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS, JOE!">DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS, JOE!</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="12:08 am">January 27, 2024</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/mikodgreat/" title="View all posts by ToThePoint">ToThePoint</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><a href="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Dont-Mess-with-TX.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-45334" src="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Dont-Mess-with-TX.png" alt="dont-mess-with-tx" width="564" height="461" /></a></p> <p> </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/dont-mess-with-texas-joe/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-45336" class="art-post art-article post-45336 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-adventure-explore category-adventure-explore-membersonly" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-hidden-north-face-of-kanchenjunga-5/" rel="bookmark" title="THE HIDDEN NORTH FACE OF KANCHENJUNGA">THE HIDDEN NORTH FACE OF KANCHENJUNGA</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:10 am">January 26, 2024</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><a href="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/North-Face-of-Kanchenjunga.png"><img class="alignright wp-image-26875" src="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/North-Face-of-Kanchenjunga.png" alt="north-face-of-kanchenjunga" width="550" height="355" /></a>This is one of the truly great mountain sights on earth yet never seen – except for professional mountaineers and those on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. Kanchenjunga at 28,169 feet (8,586 meters) is the world’s 3rd highest mountain (after Everest and K2), with a drop from summit (the peak on the left in front of the cloud) to the glacier at it base of 12,000 feet straight down.</p> <p>You can be awed by such a picture, but to actually physically be here, to witness this magnificence personally so that it is forever a part of your life, is to feel a depth of awe that has to be experienced to be understood. Kanchenjunga is part of the Himalayas, now on the border of Nepal and Sikkim, once an independent kingdom now absorbed into India. We fly right up the North Face, and into the Amphitheatre of the Southwest Face as well.</p> <p>We’ll be here once again next early May.

This is it, folks – the moment determining our country’s destiny has arrived.</p> <p>This morning (1/26), the Republican Governors Association (<a href="https://www.rga.org/republican-governors-ban-together-issue-joint-statement-supporting-texas-constitutional-right-self-defense/">rga.org</a>) announced that 25 governors released a joint statement supporting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. There is true irony in how SCOTUS triggered this.</p> <p>For they issued a <em>procedural </em>ruling, not on the merits of the case. All that’s happened is a lower court ruling is left in place that federalies can cut Texas border wire -- while nothing prevents Texas from putting up more wire to replace it – until SCOTUS rules on the merits.</p> <p>You can bet your sweet bippy that Barrett in particular had no idea what her deciding vote would unleash the Kraken.
