by Norman P. Rockwell (1894-1978) Rest in peace, sir!

Great American painter, illustrator and author. His works have a wide popular appeal in the United States for their thoughtful study of our fine traditional American culture and values. Mr. Rockwell is most famous for his illustrations of everyday life, many of which he created for the cover of the The Saturday Evening Post — for over five decades.

This illustration was the cover for the March 6, 1948 edition.

Indonesia Is Switching Capital Cities Because the Old One Is Sinking Into the Ocean

Jakarta Sinking

Jakarta, Indonesia’s biggest city, has been free of Dutch rule for about 70 years — but the lasting effects of colonialism are far from over.

Case in point, the city is sinking into the surrounding Java Sea because many of the city’s 10 million people have no access to piped water and must rely on wells to suck up drinkable groundwater.

The flooding, pollution, sinking earth and congestion have gotten so catastrophic, in fact, that the country is switching capital cities altogether. Yes, seriously: the government is packing up and moving the country’s capital to the island of Borneo, according to the Associated Press.

But the move is unlikely to help poor residents who are still suffering from the chaos of environmental disaster, financial ruin, and the side effects of colonization ever since the Netherlands built a purposefully segregated city in the 1600s.

“The construction of the new capital city is not merely a physical move of government offices,” President Joko Widodo told AP. “The main goal is to build a smart new city, a new city that is competitive at the global level, to build a new locomotive for the transformation … toward an Indonesia based on innovation and technology based on a green economy.”

Tyrannical Government of Canada Will Pay to Euthanize Those Who Are “Too Poor to Continue Living With Dignity”

Crippling inflation, homelessness, skyrocketing crime, supply shortages, and depression – all of which come hand in hand with radical liberal policies that promise to take care of the supposedly oppressed and the financially downtrodden.

However, in Canada, the public health ‘experts’ are trying out a more ghastly approach to solving people’s issues – and if people accept the evil proposal, their problems will be taken care of once and for all… quite literally.

As of last year, the Canadian government is now offering to pay to euthanize people who are “too poor to continue living with dignity.” Anyone who feels as such – the tyrannical state would like to foot the bill for their suicide.

Yes, really. Like things weren’t dystopian enough with the lockdowns and oppressive public health measures… Killing the poor because they lack enough “dignity” to live? That’s a far cry from the typical social programs that are championed by the radical left.

In 2021, the Canadian parliament enacted Bill C-7, which greatly expanded the valid reasons for medically assisted suicide. Coined as a “sweeping euthanasia law,” the bill removed most restrictions and made it possible for Canadians to legally be euthanized based on their living situation. Now, thanks to the morally unjust new law, just about anyone is eligible for medically assisted suicide if they wish.

Canadian outlet, The Spectator, said the issue has been a slippery slope since the beginning, adding that ever since the Supreme Court of Canada initially repealed some restrictions on the practice in 2015, this was always the “natural conclusion” we would find ourselves at.

Another showed that women with the highest amount of garlic in their diets had a 50% lower risk of colon cancer.
