Japan has begun full-scale implementation of piezoelectric tiles as an innovative way to generate electricity, turning people's footsteps into a source of energy.

The first piezoelectric tiles, which capture kinetic energy from the mechanical pressure of footsteps and convert it into electricity, have been installed at the Shibuya intersection and the Tokyo station area.

The economic effectiveness of this innovation will become clear in the next couple of years.

The evil of the welfare state

By Jacob G. Hornberger

In a genuinely free society, people are free to keep everything they earn and decide for themselves what to do with their own money. They are free to save, invest, spend, or donate their money to others.

The government, operating through the IRS, forces people to deliver a portion of their money to the federal government. The government, operating through welfare agencies, then distributes, either directly or indirectly, that money to recipients of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, subsidies, bailouts, foreign aid, grants, and other governmental largess.

Welfare statists say that this process demonstrates how good, caring, and compassionate we are as a society because we collectively have enacted this program as part of our democratic system.

But the fact is that this process is as much founded on force — and the denial of the individual right to say no — as when I steal that wealthy person’s money and give it to the poor, needy, and disadvantaged. The taxpayers? Opponents of the welfare-state way of life who have their money seized against their will and given to others?

It shouldn't be very hard to call out evil for what it is

I haven't been shy about calling out Islamic terrorism, even as the woke left and their politically correct media allies have tried to cancel those of a similar mindset over so-called "Islamophobia," a term which, translated, means being an awful person simply because you're able to recognize that while not all terrorist attacks in the world are committed by Islamofascists, Islam-aligned terror organizations like ISIS remain the most prolific, pervasive, and deadly.

Attacks here in the U.S. in 2025 alone, whether committed by a "lone wolf" or not, confirm the growing negative influence of radical Islam in American society, with higher ed playing a huge role in encouraging and perpetuating antisemitic, anti-American, and pro-radical Islamic belief systems among young, impressionable students, some of whom are transplants from parts of the world where violent, anti-western culture has been well-established.

The American left has crossed a line into disloyalty and subversive actions that undermine not only our national interests but those of our allies and fellow democracies.

We especially see it in our universities, whose facilities are dominated by radicals who were born during the Vietnam War. We also see this subversion in our corporate media, which has become a critical tool for anti-American leftists and Islamofascists alike.

Reasons For Job Cuts In The Us In 2025

By October, 1.1 million people had been laid off — 65% more than a year ago, the highest since 2020.

▪️More than half of the layoffs are related to federal DOGE actions and economic factors (~520,000 jobs).

▪️Restructuring and cost-cutting affected 185,000 people, while company closures affected 161,000.

▪️AI has had a limited impact, accounting for less than 5% of layoffs (~48,000 people).

▪️The main wave of layoffs is related to preparations for a slowdown in economic growth, declining demand, and tighter financial conditions, rather than bankruptcies.

Canada is building the wrong army for the war that is coming

The next major land war will not reward elegance, boutique modernization, or the comforting belief that advanced technology can replace mass and endurance. It will expose armies built on fragile assumptions. Concealment has largely disappeared. Attrition has returned as a central fact of combat.

Sustainment shapes outcomes as decisively as firepower. Yet the Canadian Army remains organized, equipped, and intellectually anchored to a vision of warfare that belonged to yesterday’s world.

The problem is not a simple modernization lag or a lack of new kit. It is a deeper conceptual failure—a refusal to absorb how radically and irreversibly the character of land warfare has changed.

That is the larger point. The key change is not this or that technology. The battlespace itself has changed. Artificial intelligence, proliferated drones, commercial satellites, autonomous strike systems, and persistent ISR have combined into a transparent, data-rich battlespace where everyone is on the move, movement is tracked instantly, concentrations are targeted rapidly, and supply lines are targeted as soon as they begin to form—an environment already documented in assessments of modern conflict. An army that cannot scatter, regenerate while under fire, and sustain itself while under persistent observation is not going to muddle through. It is going to break.

Attrition has returned—and Canada is not ready. The Canadian Army is not designed for this reality.

Consumer sentiment in the US falls to historic low, according to the University of Michigan

▪️ 50.3 — the US consumer sentiment index in November, down 3.3 points from October and approaching the level of 50.0 points in June 2022 — the lowest level since records began in 1978, — states the University of Michigan

▪️ The decline in overall sentiment was widespread among different age groups, income levels, and political views

▪️ Consumer sentiment deteriorated due to rising prices, a 17% decline in current personal finances, and an 11% decline in expected business conditions for the year. The government shutdown has lasted for more than a month, and consumers are beginning to worry about the possible negative consequences for the economy

GOP senators torch dem narrative after secret meeting on narco-terrorist strikes

Republican Senators torched the Democrat narrative about military strikes on drug boats following a closed-door meeting, accusing them of flat-out lying about the actions taken by U.S. Special Operations Command commander Admiral Frank M. Bradley.

On Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee received a closed briefing from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who led the briefing on the September 2, 2025, boat strike on narco-traffickers in the Caribbean.

Speaking to members of the press after the meeting, Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) defended Bradley and said that what he saw was drug traffickers attempting to continue their mission after the first strike, flip the boat back over, and attempting to connect with other narco terrorists.

Interest payments on the USA national debt could reach $2.2 trillion over the next decade

This would represent a 127% increase from the $970 billion recorded in fiscal year 2025.

At the same time, the government is projected to borrow about $2 trillion annually over the next decade, which will further increase interest payments along with debt growth.

❗️ As a result, about 50% of borrowed funds will go toward debt servicing each year. The US is on an unsustainable path of fiscal policy development.

Woke Minneapolis mayor appears to 'wishcast' death and injury to ICE amid 'Operation Metro Surge'

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) almost lost his job to a Democrat Socialist, so he needs to prove to the Somali population that he is down with the cause and will protect Somalis from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids being conducted through "Operation Metro Surge."

In early December, ICE officials announced they had arrested child sex offenders, domestic abusers, and violent gang members just a few days into Operation Metro Surge.

“Sanctuary policies and politicians like Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allowed these pedophiles, domestic terrorists, and gang members to roam the streets and terrorize Americans,” said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“ICE law enforcement are risking their lives to protect Minnesotans while their own elected officials sit by and do nothing. No matter when and where, ICE will find, arrest, and deport ALL criminal illegal aliens.”

European media giants face a double threat: AI and low demand for advertising

According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the profits of media companies in the Stoxx Europe 600 index will grow by only 6.9% in 2026, compared to 10% for the market as a whole.

Advertising under attack:
Economic and political uncertainty is reducing marketing budgets. In 2025, TV advertising revenues fell by several percent, and there are no signs of a reversal in this trend.

AI — risk and opportunity:
Technology increases efficiency but threatens key media products and online platforms. Digital education (Pearson) and scientific publishing (Springer Nature) are particularly at risk. Some analysts believe these fears are exaggerated.

❗️2026 will be a test — those who fail to rebuild their businesses around AI and a weak advertising market will lose out.

A scandal has erupted in France's child welfare system (ASE), where children removed from their families have been forced into prostitution

In the video, Ines, 11, is placed in an ASE shelter and forced into prostitution from the moment she arrives. She is threatened, forcibly given drugs, passed on to dozens of clients through underage pimps, and her caregivers say they “can't do anything.”

This video describes the situation in the Marseille orphanage where Inès is being held, and the situation is similar in other institutions. About 15,000 children in French orphanages have been involved in prostitution and pedophile networks.

Water levels there have fallen below normal due to the placement of data centers. Small towns are seeing a drop in water pressure in their water systems, and agriculture is under threat.
