FFS. I mean it's not surprising and given the gutting to intelligence agencies, who knows how reliable the intel is anyway.
The remaining Four Eyes better have a robust plan because the US is leaving itself wide open to its enemies, and the rest of us as well.

Federal kindergarten vaccination data shows national rates for four major vaccines, which had held steady before the COVID-19 pandemic, have fallen significantly since.
In fact, measles vaccination rates were below herd immunity in most states in 2023.

Neskantaga has had a boil water advisory for 30 years due to the failure of its water treatment plant. Now the Ontario government wants it to get on board with resource development, while asking Ottawa not to reintroduce safe drinking water legislation.

I’ll say it again — Metro Vancouver is THE North American hotbed for transit-oriented development. No other North American region comes close. Today was DAY 1 of 4 days of “deep dives” where I’m touring municipal leaders from Ontario, riding skytrain lines & digging into transformed station areas.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?
