Warren Reveals $52 Trillion Medicare for All Plan, Claims No Middle-Class Tax Increase Necessary Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) unveiled a Medicare for all plan Friday that will cost nearly $52 trillion over the next ten years and, she claims, will not require any middle-class tax increases. 43 The proposal would be funded by roughly $20 trillion in taxes on employers, financial transactions, and super-wealthy corporations over the next decade. Existing federal and state spending would account for the remaining $30 trillion in costs. “We don’t need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All,” Warren writes as part of the plan. “When fully implemented, my approach to Medicare for All would mark one of the greatest federal expansions of middle class wealth in our history,” she continues. “And if Medicare for All can be financed without any new taxes on the middle class, and instead by asking giant corporations, the wealthy, and the well-connected to pay their fair share, that’s exactly what we should do.” https://www.nationalreview.com/news/warren-reveals-52-trillion-medicare-for-all-plan-claims-no-middle-tax-increase-necessary/ Warren Releases $52 Trillion ‘Medicare For All’ Plan Funded By Unicorn Farts Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has finally released her “Medicare for All” plan, which her campaign says would cost $52 trillion over the next 10 years. While Warren pledged that middle-class taxes would not increase to pay for “Medicare for All,” given Congress’s refusal to pass a regular budget for a decade, the looming debt crisis due to hundreds of trillions in underfunded existing entitlements like Social Security, and decades of record-breaking federal budget deficits, it’s a certainty her pledge will turn out to be as reliable as President Obama’s “you can keep your doctor.” https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/01/warren-releases-52-trillion-medicare-for-all-plan-funded-by-unicorn-farts/ Trick-Or-Treaters In Nunavut Are Getting Their Own Polar-Bear Protectors For Halloween Halloween is finally here, but unfortunately, in some parts of Canada, the weather is not ideal for trick-or-treating or partying. While dealing with rain and wind on Halloween night is bad enough, things could actually be a lot scarier. Halloween in Nunavut has an entirely different safety concern: polar bears. In one Nunavut community, Arviat, the Halloween festivities will be continuing, but everything will be done indoors. Kids still get to wear their costumes, but they'll all head to the community hall and stay inside. https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/nu/halloween-in-a-nunavut-community-needs-to-be-indoors-because-of-polar-bears Permit to carry?

On Friday, Gov. Brad Little signed HB 186 The bill would allow the use of the firing squad when lethal injection isn't available. The Associated Press reported that Mississippi, Utah, Oklahoma, and South Carolina also allow for the use of the firing squad. The AP added that the addition of executions by firing squad may become more prevalent as the US struggles with a shortage of drugs for lethal injections. https://www.businessinsider.com/idaho-5-state-allow-firing-squads-death-row-inmates-2023-3?op=1 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed new permitless carry bill. Here's what it means for you: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quietly signed a new gun bill that eliminates licensing requirements to carry a concealed firearm in most public places. The Florida Senate voted 27-13 last week on HB 543 and DeSantis signed it as quickly as he got it in a closed-door gathering with supporters, making Florida the 26th state that does not require a concealed weapons license. FOX News broke the story about the signing 28 minutes before Florida reporters received a notice from the DeSantis press office that he had received the bill from the Legislature. What does Florida's concealed carry bill do? The bills SB150/HB543 eliminate the need for a concealed weapons license, which required a mandatory background check and a firearms training course, before you can carry hidden weapons or firearms on your person or in a vehicle in Florida, provided you still meet other gun ownership requirements. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/03/florida-gun-laws-concealed-carry-passed-what-permitless-bill-means-for-residents/70077069007/ What is Lent? Lent is the period of six weeks (40 days not including Sundays) leading up to Easter, the most important festival in the Christian calendar. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week. When is Lent? In 2023 Lent begins on Wednesday 22 February and ends on Thursday 6 April. Lent is an old English word meaning 'lengthen'. Lent is observed in spring, when the days begin to get longer. What is the story of Lent? Jesus went into the desert to fast and pray before beginning his work for God. Jesus was tempted several times by Satan, but was able to resist. Lent allows Christians to remember Jesus's fasting in the desert. It is a time of giving things up and a test of self-discipline. There are many foods that some Christians do not eat in Lent, such as meat and fish, fats, eggs, and milky foods. Some Christians just give up something they really enjoy, such as cakes or chocolate. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/ztkxpv4/articles/z77jf4j ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vHpEB33DE

Matthew McConaughey, Taylor Swift & More Hollywood Celebs Condemn Texas Mass Shooting In a grim act of terror, a mass shooting in an elementary school in Texas claimed the lives of at least 21 including 19 kids. The incident took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde when an 18-yr-old opened fire at the school which has an enrollment of under 600 students. Texas Governor Greg Abbott revealed that the suspected gunman was identified as Salvador Ramos and is believed to be killed by the responding officers. Following the mass shooting, politicians including former US president Barack Obama and more condemned the heinous act of gun violence and called for strict measures. Hollywood celebrities followed suit and critically slammed a series of mass shootings that took place in the US including the Buffalo supermarket shooting. https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-news/matthew-mcconaughey-taylor-swift-and-more-hollywood-celebs-condemn-texas-mass-shooting-articleshow.html Biden Doesn’t ‘Believe in’ Proposals to Harden Schools, White House Press Secretary Says President Biden does not “believe in” proposals to harden schools against potential gunmen, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday. “I know there’s been conversation about hardening schools, that is not something he believes in,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at a White House press conference. “He believes that we should be able to give teachers the resources to be able to do their job.” https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-doesnt-believe-in-proposals-to-harden-schools-white-house-press-secretary-says/ Here's the Real Reason Why Democrats Refuse to Harden Schools Democrats pounced on the opportunity provided by last week’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead, but in their haste to enact a nationwide gun-grab, Democrats have repeatedly dismissed the common sense approach of hardening the schools. As candles burned on either side of his red carpet during his prime-time address to Americans on Thursday night, President Joe Biden proposed a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, enhanced background checks and even the repeal of legal immunity for gun manufacturers, all of which have been on the left’s Christmas list for a long time, and none of which would be necessary if schools were appropriately secure. Thus, Biden conspicuously left out any mention of the Republican-backed solution of increasing the police presence at our schools. https://www.westernjournal.com/real-reason-democrats-refuse-harden-schools/ Police waited 45 minutes to breach classroom in Uvalde, believing kids not at risk Public safety officials admitted to a deadly lapse in judgment while gun-rights advocates were deferential but defiant Friday as a divided, heartbroken nation continued to mourn the lives of 19 fourth-grade students and their two teachers in Texas. https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/police-waited-45-minutes-to-breach-classroom-in-uvalde-believing-kids-not-at-risk Parents begged police for upward of 40 minutes to stop Texas school shooter Police stood by for upward of 40 minutes after a gunman stormed into an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday and killed 19 children and two teachers in a classroom, according to a new report. Investigators are piecing together what happened over the course of the massacre, which ended with a Border Patrol team rushing in and killing the 18-year-old shooter. Witnesses cited by the Associated Press recalled shouting at police to enter the building to save the people inside. One even proposed having bystanders do the job that officers apparently refused to do as they stood outside. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/parents-begged-police-for-upwards-of-40-minutes-to-stop-texas-school-shooter-report ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAFQatAZsfk

Canadian PM Trudeau Abandoning Western Values Since assuming power seven months ago, the Canadian Liberal Party – under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – has been on a callous crusade to fundamentally transform the Great White North. Diverting from former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s commitment to Western values, Trudeau has largely been following President Barack Obama’s blueprint on both foreign and domestic issues. Unilaterally pulling Canada out of the US-led military coalition against the Islamic State days after becoming Canada’s head of state, Trudeau neglected his moral duties as a world leader by transforming Canada’s armed forces into what the Canadian left has long called “peacekeepers” – essentially a fancy term for Boy Scouts. The transition to “peacekeepers” was affirmed by his first federal budget, gutting the military by slashing its funding by $400 million – down to 0.9% of Canada’s GDP. http://www.dailywire.com/news/5966/canadian-pm-trudeau-abandoning-western-values-harry-khachatrian Liberals taking a gamble by reversing election promises: Paul Wells New Liberal platform includes higher immigration, more foreign investment.

New legislation tabled in Parliament on Wednesday updates several federal acts that govern federally-regulated corporations and cooperatives. Amongst the changes, which are intended to extend corporate democracy and bring regulation into the digital era, is a requirement that all corporations must begin reporting "information respecting diversity among the directors and among the members of senior management." http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/trudeau-wants-companies-to-disclose-how-many-women-make-up-their-senior-ranks Liberal-Socialism And The Erosion Of Christian Canada Interestingly, this silent majority also happen to be Canada’s religious majority. At present, approximately 85% of our nation were raised in a secular or religious Christian household. Comprised primarily of Protestant and Catholic Canadians, this segment of society has been a religious majority since the founding of our country in 1867. It should, therefore, come as a surprise to discover our current government’s disregard for Christian-Canadians, as well as Christian communities of other nations.
