What do Trump and Trudeau share in common? Dictator Envy
They really should know better, but both former President Trump and current Prime Minister Trudeau have expressed admiration for modern dictatorships. In their own ways Trump and Trudeau have envied the leaders of China and Russia. Trump likes how people sit up straight and pay attention when the leader speaks. He fails to acknowledge that people very much feel forced under intimidation to do so. This isn’t a sign of respect, but a sign of how fearful people are when they know not sitting up straight enough or clapping long and loud enough could mean the end of their career or something worse.
For his part Trudeau is now world famous for expressing his admiration for China’s Communist Dictatorship. In a single sentence, way back in 2013, Canada’s Prime Minister revealed his incredibly childish and ignorant view of history and how the world works. While admiring how fast countries like China are capable of taking on huge tasks, he completely ignores the millions of livelihoods that can be crushed in accomplishing the task, and EVEN IF the task is successful in the end.
There is a difference between Trump and Trudeau. One of the two continues to operate in a way that future authoritarians will be able to admire.

Leaders talk about their “admiration” for dictatorships. It’s a “utopian dream,” says historian Johan Norberg. They think: “if … someone at the top could … point us in a certain direction, everything would go well.” That’s childish. “If government is big enough to give you anything” Norberg explains, “it’s big enough to take everything away from you.”

All big companies now require “DEI” training for employees, but studies say that often BACKFIRES. One study looked at 800 companies, and found that after companies did trainings, they actually came to have FEWER black managers. How is that possible?
Erec Smith, a former DEI trainer, now a Professor of Rhetoric at York College, tells me: “It seems to be making people less likely to interact with people who are unlike them … because it’s like a minefield now.”
He explains that the trainings can make people so afraid of saying something wrong, that people just avoid each other. “If you ask somebody what they do for a living, somehow that’s racist, right? If you learn that, then why would you take a chance?”
That’s the just the tip of the iceberg, regarding DEI’s problems. Watch this video for more strange ideas that come from it, like “try to be less white” and the idea that some kids don’t need to learn standard English.

Top secret documents found at homes of Trump and Biden. A national security crisis? Bunk. – Stossel
We’ve heard about the top secret documents found at the homes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The media call it a national security crisis. Bunk.
The truth is, the word classified usually means very little. Government classifies three things every second. “A lot of top secrets are nothing of the kind,” historian Matthew Connelly tells us.
Many classified “secrets” are nonsense or embarrassing proof of government incompetence. I’ll show you why the problem is much bigger than Presidents taking classified documents home.
