Robert Unanue, an U.S. corporate leader who experienced cancel culture firsthand last year, became one of the first business people to stand up against a leftist mob that tried to boycott his products because of his support for former President Donald Trump. “I’ve come to realize that a lot of what we’re doing is canceling God,” Unanue, an owner at the Hispanic-owned company Goya Foods Inc., told the Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando on Feb. 27. “We need a reason to get up in the morning. Goya kept working…

QUESTIONS have been raised over how the SNP spent £9.7billion of “Union” funding from the UK Government, Scotland’s Auditor General has warned. In his latest report on the impact of coronavirus, Stephen Boyle said the Scottish Government had received an extra £9.7billion to its budget of more than £40billion during the 2020/21 financial year. He said the transparency around public spending from the Scottish Government has become more difficult as governments work to rebuild the economy. Mr Boyle warned in the report that the COVID-19 pandemic had created financial management challenges for the SNP led Scottish Government. The Auditor General…

Rightmove, which runs Britain’s largest online real estate portal, said the UK housing market had almost shaken off pandemic-driven challenges and a current shortage of new listings should correct once the lockdown is lifted. Britain’s housing market rebounded midway through last year after an initial coronavirus shock, as buyers took advantage of low interest rates and a temporary tax break, while appetite for bigger homes suitable for remote working also drove demand. “In the absence of further economic shocks, we think it is likely that the current shortage of new listings will correct once the immediate lockdown is lifted and…

Facebook Inc ended a one-week blackout of Australian news on its popular social media site on Friday and announced preliminary commercial agreements with three small local publishers. The moves reflected easing tensions between the U.S. company and the Australian government, a day after the country’s parliament passed a law forcing it and Alphabet Inc’s Google to pay local media companies for using content on their platforms. The new law makes Australia the first nation where a government arbitrator can set the price Facebook and Google pay domestic media to show their content if private negotiations fail. Canada and other countries…

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday offered an endorsement of Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). “Senator Jerry Moran is doing a terrific job for the wonderful people of Kansas. Strong on Military, Vets, the Border, and our Second Amendment, Jerry has my Complete and Total Endorsement for his re-election in 2022!” Trump said in a statement released by his new Save America PAC. Moran’s office did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment. Moran had voted to acquit Trump at the Senate impeachment trial earlier this month. “The Constitution does not clearly state whether a former president can be tried for impeachment by the Senate,…

Children are not legally required to wear face masks in schools and should not be sent home if they refuse to wear one, government officials said last night. This week Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that secondary school pupils will have to wear masks if they cannot maintain social distancing in No10’s ultra-cautious ‘roadmap’ out of England’s third Covid lockdown. Though masks and regular coronavirus tests are strongly encouraged, officials insisted they are not legal requirements and students should not be ‘denied education’ as a result of non-compliance. Pupils will also be tested three times at school and once at home for two weeks after…

THE bitter war of words between Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon exploded into a genuine threat to the First Minister’s position last night. Holyrood officials finally published Mr Salmond’s written evidence at 7pm, clearing the way for his long awaited testimony under oath tomorrow. In the submission, he claims a cabal of SNP and Scottish Government figures – including Ms Sturgeon’s husband – plotted to have him put behind bars. At around the same time as it was published, Ms Sturgeon gave a series of television and radio interviews to insist that her predecessor was not telling the truth. Mr…

In December, I related a story on this page about a care home worker who told me of a resident who had Covid put on her death certificate after she fell, suffered a bleed from the brain, was taken to hospital and died. All the care home’s efforts to get an explanation failed. In that piece I said that when the pandemic was over we needed a serious inquiry into the figures. Now Bel Mooney, the distinguished author and advice columnist, tells a similar story about her father. The legend below the graphs of government death statistics clearly states, “deaths…

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has agreed with his Australian counterpart Scott Morrison to continue “coordinating efforts” to ensure digital giants will pay publishers for content shared on their platforms. According to an official statement, the two prime ministers spoke Monday on a range of topics, including the need to regulate social media companies. On Monday, Facebook reversed its decision to ban its news service in Australia—which had effectively preventing news outlets from posting content on the social media site, coming after the News Media Bargaining Code passed both houses of parliament. The Bargaining Code is a bill that creates a framework for news companies to negotiate a fair…

British finance minister Rishi Sunak is preparing to extend the stamp duty holiday by three months until the end of June in an attempt to boost activity in the housing market as the country emerges from lockdown, The Times reported on Wednesday. The extension to the policy, which covers sales of properties worth up to 500,000 pounds ($708,100), could cost the government 1 billion pounds, the report bit.ly/3sglJoS added. Britain raised the threshold of property tax to 500,000 pounds last July from 125,000 pounds, exempting nine of 10 people buying a main home from stamp duty. The temporary cuts are set to…
