How far $100 goes in each US state

While a $100 bill may seem like it holds the same value across the US, a fascinating new report shows that is far from the case. 

Massive differences in the cost of living – from groceries to housing to gas – across the country mean a so-called ‘Benjamin’ will buy much less in some areas than others. 

In fact, the purchasing power of $100 can vary as much as 26 percent across states, the study found. It goes furthest in Arkansas and buys the least in California.

The report by GOBankingRates used a Government index that compares costs for goods and services among each of the 50 states.

Varying prices mean Americans might be able to live comfortably in one state on a certain salary, but struggle to make ends meet with the same paycheck in another, it found.

Click here for the map of all 50 states to see. It’s kind of what you’d expect, but still interesting. Don’t live in the Northeast or California if you want your money to go further.

Remember The (Fake) Polar Bear Crisis Because Of Global Warming (Lies)? Guess What?

As Polar Bear Population Explodes, Animal Loses its Climate Crisis Mascot Status

Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in 2019. I covered a book entitled “The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened” by Dr. Susan Crockford. The University of Victoria professor analyzes the latest data and reviews the questionable values in official estimates, concluding that polar bears are thriving.

Subsequently, she was fired from her position at the university.

However, it didn’t stop what she wrote from being true.

The polar bear, the iconic image of the climate crisis, has entirely lost its eco-activist mascot status. Climate expert Bjorn Lomborg (President of the Copenhagen Consensus and Visiting Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution) recently examined the numbers in a New York Post piece and came to the same conclusion.

Protesters dressed as polar bears, while Al Gore’s hit 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth” showed us a sad, animated polar bear floating away to its death.

The Washington Post warned that polar bears faced extinction, and the World Wildlife Fund’s chief scientist even claimed some polar bear populations would be unable to reproduce by 2012.

And then in the 2010s, campaigners just stopped talking about polar bears.

The Reasons Young Women Embrace the Left Do Not Reflect Well on These Women

1 “Seeing someone like yourself” — meaning women seeing a woman running for president and then seeing her defeated, or voting for a vagina.

2. Mr. Trump called (Hillary Clinton) a “nasty woman.”

That this is one of the three major reasons for the 2016 left-wing shift of young American women is truly pathetic. It is further proof of the title of a column I wrote two years ago, “Feminism Has Weakened Women.”

There’s a wild inconsistency here as well: The whole point of feminism, according to feminists, is to have society treat men and women as equals, and equally. Yet feminists simultaneously insist that men treat women with a dose of chivalry or they’re “sexist.”

Well, she is a Cnut.

3. Trump “bragging about sexual assault on the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape.”

The third reason given for young women embracing leftism in 2016 was a recording made in 2005 that came out in 2016. In a private conversation with Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood.

I’ve got news for you. Women let powerful (and rich and famous) men get away with a lot more than they do Johnny on the street. Women sleep with who they want, and men sleep with who they can except the rich and famous.

The girls let him grab them by the puta. Their image of hanging out with the rich and famous lets them lower their guard for certain men. They are to blame, not a rich and famous man talking about it, in private

And it is a testament to the lack of wisdom among a majority of America’s young women that these three foolish reasons propelled them to vote for the ideology that is destroying our country.It is a testament to the lack of wisdom of our age that we think we can know people — let alone judge them — by what they say in private.

Former FBI agent tells CNN that Democrat rhetoric is to blame for second Trump assassination attempt

A former FBI counterterrorism agent, Tim Clemente, told CNN yesterday that Democratic rhetoric is to blame for a second assassination attempt on President Trump and that it needs to stop.

Clemente told CNN’s Erin Burnett:

“You know Erin, it’s unprecedented in a civilised society. And I think we’re becoming more and more uncivilised, sadly, with the political diatribes that are going on and the political indictments of either candidate. When, sadly, the finger-pointing at Trump has lead to — you know, the line about the bloodbath, talking about the auto industry, being used as if he’s going to create a bloody coup if he loses. That kind of the verbiage is something you use in a third-world country when you‘re talking about a dictator. That sadly has led to, I think, these attempts on Trump’s life and I don’t think it’s going to end.”

How Covid-19 Should Have Been Handled – Update on the Amish Approach to Covid

The study was entitled “Closed but Not Protected: Excess Deaths Among the Amish and Mennonites During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” It appeared in the Journal of Religion and Health on June 11, 2021.

In reading the study, I found the authors and backers clearly seemed to intend to publicly debunk the Amish approach to Covid—but in reality, looking at the data, I saw that the study did quite the opposite.

By way of background, the Amish population largely rejected public health recommendations during Covid, but fared no worse in terms of health impact than the rest of the country that masked, isolated, and vaccinated. That’s according to available data, and even the federally-funded study in question. Those findings imply the US could have avoided experimental vaccines that have serious side effects; and circumvented costly shutdowns that devastated the economy, travel, businesses, mental health, and education at the expense of trillions of US tax dollars.

As a group, the Amish suffered no greater “excess deaths” during Covid, and arguably had fewer deaths, all without shutting down their schools, social life, and economy; without testing an experimental vaccine; and without spending untold amounts of money on testing, treatments, and hospitalizations.

Another shortfall in this process of scientific integrity lies in the fact that the government and study authors refuse to turn over the communications and materials I requested that could shed light on what specific people were backing the taxpayer funded study and why; and could tell us how the study shortfalls slipped past all the peer reviewers.

Rep. Thomas Massie Says Recorded Phone Calls Prove CDC Lied About Covid “Vaccine” Efficacy

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lied to Americans about the efficacy of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” unleashed through Operation Warp Speed, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has proof.

Rep. Massie caught the CDC lying in its official publication (MMWR) about COVID jab efficacy all the way back in December 2020. He further confirmed the lies by calling the CDC and recording the answers he received to questions about the shots.

When the CDC refused to tell the general public the truth, Rep. Massie took it upon himself to share the recordings with investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson who exposed them publicly.

“So they created or worsened what could be considered a crisis by their misinformation … And my big question is, the misinformation was signed off on by something like twelve members of this CDC expert committee. Did none of them read the original studies as I had and as Congressman Massie had? Do they just sign papers somebody else writes and not understand the data and the claims in it are wrong? I think this is a huge scandal and nobody’s been held to account for that.”

Story

Of course they lied. There was too much money to be made on the jab and they took it. The real cure all along was Hydroxycholorquine and Ivermectin, but the patent money ran out of them.

FAFO – ABC News hits panic button after sworn statement alleging rigged debate

ABC News is apparently pressing the panic button in the wake of fierce criticism of its Sept. 10 presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Bud Light Of Science Journals

Mocking Ensues After Scientific American Endorses Kamala Harris

Back in 2020, the once highly respected Scientific American decided to break with 175 years of editorial tradition and endorse Biden for president, saying:

That is why we urge you to vote for Joe Biden, who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment. These and other proposals he has put forth can set the country back on course for a safer, more prosperous and more equitable future.

Subsequently, the magazine has completely lost its grip on sanity, reason, and logic. Since Biden took office, let’s review some of the low-lights from the magazine’s stack of articles.

  • Scientific American has colluded with other media to normalize “climate emergency” terminology, despite vast swaths of scientific evidence showing the Earth’s climate has continuously changed over 4 billion years.
  • The magazine is pushing “birth parent” terminology, which is utter nonsense in the face of real biology.
  • The editor-In-chief Laura Helmuth slammed for peddling gender pseudoscience on Twitter, which was brilliantly debunked by Evolutionary biologist Colin Wright.
  • Most recently, the magazine offered a ridiculous take on football injuries…tying them to racism.

So, as the 2024 presidential election season enters into the final stretch, it is not surprising that Scientific American’s editorial team throws circumspection and neutrality out the window and endorses Vice President Kamala Harris.

Why They Can’t Give Away EV’s Right Now

First, we have this: EV Dealers Are So Desperate to Offload Stock That They’re Offering Lease Deals For $20 a Month.

How soft is the new EV car market? Some EV vehicles have been on their lots for so long that they’re offering lease terms so generous, they may as well be giving them away.

A Kia dealer in Virginia only gets a couple of inquiries a month for EVs. The price tag of new vehicles scares them off, says Finance Director Ramon Nawabi. He’s got a few EV 6 SUVs that have been on the lot for six months that Kia is now offering discounted leases on top of the $7,500 EV tax credit “just to move the car,” he says. “In a sense, we’re giving them away.”  

That $7500 tax credit helped dealers sell a million EVs in 2022. However, the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act severely limited how that $7500 tax credit could be applied. There are now price caps for EVs ($80,000 for SUVs and trucks; $55,000 for cars), and the batteries must be American-made. Also, the vehicles must be assembled in the U.S. There’s also a cap on the net income of the potential buyer.

But you can avoid the restrictions if you lease a new EV. “That’s allowed car companies or dealers to bundle the $7,500 tax credit savings into the lease financing cost, lowering consumers’ monthly payments,” reports Bloomberg News

source

Then, the EU mandate on EV’s caused this:

“The EU is in a crisis caused by low consumer demand for EVs and unfair competition from third country EV manufacturers, meaning that the EU industry will not be able to meet these reduction targets. EU industry will have little choice but to significantly cut production, which threatens millions of jobs in the EU, harms consumers, and adversely impacts the EU’s competitiveness and economic security.”

The quote above is an excerpt from a draft European Automobile Manufacturer’s Association (EAMA) document made public this week in a story by Bloomberg. The report was prepared by EAMA in preparation for formally requesting a 2-year delay in EU emissions goals set to take effect in 2025. EU EV makers say they will not be able to meet the idiotic mandate set by the EU’s authoritarian central planners, citing low consumer desire to buy the damn things and “unfair” competition from China.

It’s a reality that should come as no real surprise to anyone, especially since critics of the EU’s central planning literally predicted this very outcome a thousand times.

Source

It’s because people bought them because there was a subsidy. Then they found out that the current technology of an EV is flashy, but not good. It sucks in hot or cold weather and takes too long to charge.

It’s not the panacea that was promised, just another government program, nee mandate that is a failure.

There is not enough electricity nor the grid to support people driving EV’s. They are 3-5 iterations of technology away from being efficient and desirable. They are wealthy peoples salve at feeling good about themselves for the made-up environmental crisis going on.

Let’s also not ignore the fires that they cause and the inability to put them out. They just burn to the ground (or 57,000 gallons of water for the enviro-weenies trying to save the planet – irony and sarcasm there).

So unless they bribe the buyers to get a technology worse than a petroleum powered car, people don’t want them.

Let’s not ignore that the manufacturers lose 10’s of thousands on every car they build (to the tune of a billion and a half loss for Ford alone this year).

So other than to make someone feel good because they are a greentard, there is no reason to buy one, yet. There may be a better iteration in the future, but it isn’t now.

For the record, I drove last weekend for 4 hours in my diesel truck and got 36 MPG. I didn’t hurt a plant or a tree.

Economics and technology say it’s a loser. It’s just another idea by the Enviro-nuts to try and make us do something because they hate petroleum.

EU Mandate here:

The mandate is so utterly unattainable that EAMA makes this projection as part of its application for a delay:

EU rules targeting a CO2 fleet emission of about 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer per vehicle would require automakers to either halt production of about 2 million cars or be exposed to fines that could reach €13 billion ($14.3 billion) for passenger cars, according to estimates by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association contained in the draft and seen by Bloomberg.

Van manufacturers could also face paying an additional €3 billion for falling short of targets, said the group that’s currently headed by Renault SA Chief Executive Officer Luca de Meo.

“The EU is in a crisis caused by low consumer demand for EVs and unfair competition from third country EV manufacturers, meaning that the EU industry

Why Most Trump Haters Hate Trump

It’s because most are sheep and were told to think that way. Before he announced he was running for president, people loved The Apprentice. Thousands of construction workers loved him because he gave them jobs, blacks, Mexicans, Whites, everyone.

Democratic politicians loved him because he was a reliable source of money for both parties.

He then challenged the status quo and the power base of the media. They hate not telling everyone what to think

The minions who listen to the media are the same people who acted like sheep when it came to Covid-19 getting jabbed, wearing a mask, and social distancing.

They are being told to hate him and don’t even know why. Most of what is being said are lies and they readily accept them. Let’s not get to Europe which doesn’t understand the concept of an Alpha Male and made them pay the share to NATO they agreed to. They wanted the US to be the world cop on someone else’s dime.

No, most don’t know when asked why they hate him. It’s because they were told to and obeyed. The same type of thing happened in Germany in the 1930’s. People lined up like sheep then and did what they were told to do.

Think for yourself. The country was better off when he was president and so was the world. There were no wars and the bad guys were shut down from being terrorists.

So screw the media. They are liars and have been since Cronkite. They have an agenda and that is to tell us what to think. Turn it off. You’ll take their power away

Nearly three in five young Africans said that they are either very or somewhat likely to consider emigrating to another country in the next three years, according to the African Youth Survey 2024 by Ichikowitz Family Foundation.

As Statista’s Anna Fleck details below, this marks a seven percentage point increase from 2022, when the last survey wave was conducted, likely driven by the improving freedom of movement post-pandemic.

Where young people from Rwanda who are considering emigrating said that it would likely only be temporary (90 percent), those in Nigeria (45 percent), Ghana (44 percent) and Congo Brazzaville (41 percent) were among those more likely to say they would make a permanent move. The 2024 poll included 5,604 people aged between 18 and 24 year olds across 16 countries: Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia.

Main reasons cited as motivations for moving abroad included economic reasons (selected by 43 percent of respondents), education opportunities (38 percent) and due to corruption in respondents’ respective home countries. The latter option, corruption, saw an increase of three percentage points since the survey wave in 2022. In South Africa, corruption was cited as the top reason for young people considering emigrating in 2024 (38 percent) as well as in Gabon (32 percent).

Cut The Crap With Telling Us To Tone It Down – 2 1/2 Minutes Straight of Leftist Politicians and Media Calling for Violence and Unrest

We’ve seen two assassination attempts against Donald Trump, one on Sunday and the other on July 13 which came within millimeters of ending the former president’s life.

We’ve seen hateful leftists like Rachel Vindman laugh about it, showing exactly zero humanity and ignoring the fact that, even if she has political differences with the man, in the end, Donald Trump is a human being with a family and has not committed any monstrous murders or other acts that would even remotely rationalize such burning hatred.

ABC News affidavit released – They Gave Kamala The Questions

Claims of a purposeful scheme to skew the Sept. 10 ABC News presidential debate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump are now intensified with the Sunday release of a sworn statement by a network whistleblower specifying the allegations.

The affidavit under penalty of perjury released by @DocNetyoutube indicates ABC coordinated with the Harris campaign to give her sample questions, along with assurances Trump would be fact-checked while Kamala would not, and favorable accommodations for the Democrat’s appearance on screen.

“Furthermore, the Harris campaign imposed serious restrictions on the scope of questioning, including:

  • No questions regarding the perceived health of President Joe Biden.
  • No inquires regarding her tenure as attorney general in San Francisco.
  • No questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds and who may be involved in her administration if elected.

Fear Of War With Putin And My Wife’s Relatives In Denmark

My wife was just there and the news was anti-Trump 24/7. They are afraid of Putin attacking she was told, and to have 3 days of supplies on hand. Their media is worse than the ABC moderators of the Trump/Harris debate. They are liberals who hate freedom and what America is. They constantly try to say that their government works better and that the US is a warmonger. Well, that’s not all that wrong when you consider that only Trump didn’t have a war during his administration.

I don’t even go there anymore because of the anti-American/Trump bias. They love idiots like Elizabeth Warren (the bomb they called her) Obama and Biden. They believe everything they are told, most of which is to hate Trump.

The irony is not lost on me because Putin attacked Ukraine in 2022 because they were going to let Ukraine into NATO right next door. He was forced into it by the Biden administration her relatives so love.

Remember, they don’t love Biden really, it’s that the European media hates Trump so much that they’ve brainwashed entire countries. They did love Obama though because he hates America as much as they do.

Now this:

That’s right, they are poking the (actual) bear.

So Russia said:

Here is the translation to this link to an X post that wouldn’t embed, because the truth

Ukraine itself does not have such an opportunity. Only NATO servicemen can program such a weapon.

The neo-Nazi regime has been attacking our territory for a long time, outside the zone of hostilities, carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians and the civil infrastructure of our country. However, such a potential development of the situation will fundamentally change our relationship with the Western camp. If the decision to lift the restrictions is indeed adopted or will be adopted, it will mean that from this moment on, the NATO countries will start a direct war with Russia.

In this case, we will, of course, be forced to make the appropriate decisions with all the consequences resulting from them for the Western aggressors. Our Western colleagues will not be able to avoid responsibility and transfer all the blame to Kiev. As you know, the use of such weapons is possible only when you have access to intelligence data from the US and EU satellites.

The net of it is they are provoking a war before the election and blaming it on Trump. They don’t even get that if they didn’t put the missiles there or not let them into NATO, it could be resolved.

This is from a country that is nearly 100% vaccinated for COVID-19 and other mistakes in life, like socialism.

I cut them off from social media because I can’t take their hate for both Trump and America anymore and their total belief in the lies of their media.

Nevertheless, they love shopping in America as it’s so much cheaper. They wear Levi’s or Carhartt, depending on the fashion at the time. The smokers smoke Marlboro’s and they love Taylor Swift. That and being vaccinated says a lot to me.

Hydroxychloroquine Was Effective On Covid-19 – Oxford University

Oxford University Study: Hydroxychloroquine Is a ‘Safe & Effective’ Treatment for Covid

They got emergency approval for the mRNA jab because there was no “existing cure” for Covid. They lied about that and Ivermectin. Both were safe and effective and there was no need for the jab.

They wanted people to act like sheep and they got their wish (They being the WEF and the Oligarchs)

Scientists at the world-renowned Oxford University in England have just confirmed that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is “safe and effective” when used to treat COVID-19.

A study into the effectiveness of the drug against Covid was conducted by the COPCOV Collaborative Group.

The group, led by Dr. William H. K. Schilling, is part of the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) Tropical Health Network.

The study sought to better understand the safety profile of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) after multiple reports emerged during the pandemic that the antiviral drug had been successfully used to treat Covid.

The drug is normally used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

However, despite previous reports of the drug’s success, guidelines around the world recommend against the use of HCQ for COVID-19.

It has widely been rumored that HCQ was suppressed to protect pharmaceutical industry interests as the cheap and widely available drug showed great promise in treating Covid before mRNA “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021.

Boeing Union Goes on Strike, Halting 737 Production

Boeing Management has let the company go to shit. Get rid of the unions and the diversity and build a plane that I trust getting on. Competition is a good thing, it makes better products at cheaper prices, unlike Unions.

SEATTLE—Boeing’s BA 0.89%increase; green up pointing triangle biggest labor union went on strike, halting production of its best-selling jets and dealing the latest blow to the struggling aerospace giant. 

Thousands of machinists who build Boeing’s 737, 777 and 767 jets walked off the job shortly after midnight Pacific time Friday, after rejecting a labor deal struck between the union’s leaders and Boeing’s executives. The contract offered 25% wage increases over four years. 

Union leaders of the 33,000-member International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers chapter said about 94% of their members voted to reject the contract and 96% voted to go on strike. The officials said they would seek to return to the negotiating table with the company.

The strike will deal a financial blow when Boeing is bleeding cash and piling up debt following January’s Alaska Airlines accident in which a door plug blew off a 737 MAX jetliner in midair. A prolonged stoppage threatens to further strain the industry’s supply chain and exacerbate jet shortages for airline.

Once Again, Ivy League Schools Rated Worst by Free Speech Group

Four elite Ivy League institutions ranked at the bottom of 251 U.S. colleges and universities for their free speech climate as rated by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, with Harvard finishing last for the second straight year.

FIRE published its College Free Speech Rankings on Friday, with Harvard tying a record it set last year with a 0.00 score and an “abysmal” rating. But it was not alone. Columbia University also was given a 0.00 score and “abysmal” rating; and New York University, which finished 249th, was given an “abysmal” rating but had a 3.33 score. The University of Pennsylvania finished 248th, with a “very poor” rating and 12.53 score.

“With scores ranging from zero to 100, NYU plummeted nearly 30 points this year, and Columbia fared even worse, becoming the second school after Harvard to ever receive a zero,” Sean Stevens, FIRE’s chief research analyst, wrote in a news release.

“And Columbia, like Harvard, actually received a negative score that we ’rounded up’ to zero. The only reason Columbia was spared from receiving the title of this year’s Worst College for Free Speech is that Harvard’s actual score was even worse, a full 21 points lower.”

Floride In Drinking Water Linked To Lower IQ

A new report from the National Toxicology Program (NTP) indicates a potential link between high fluoride levels in drinking water and lower IQ in children, particularly when levels exceed 1.5 milligrams per liter. This marks the first time a federal agency has acknowledged, with moderate confidence, this association based on a systematic review of studies conducted in various countries including Canada, China, and Mexico.

While the US has a lower recommended limit of 0.7 milligrams per liter established in 2015, some Americans may still be exposed to higher fluoride levels due to natural sources.

“Since 1945, the use of fluoride has been a successful public health initiative for reducing dental cavities and improving general oral health of adults and children,” the report stated. “There is a concern, however, that some pregnant women and children may be getting more fluoride than they need because they now get fluoride from many sources, including treated public water, water-added foods and beverages, teas, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash, and the combined total intake of fluoride may exceed safe amounts.”

The report does not quantify the exact IQ loss associated with fluoride exposure but suggests decreases of 2 to 5 points in affected children.

ABC Should Be Prosecuted For Illegal Contributions To Harris In ‘Debate’

The so-called debate was a total disservice to serious American voters who wanted to get an honest look at both candidates.

Former President Donald Trump showed up for a traditional political debate Tuesday night, but he instead found himself in the middle of a 90-minute ambush to boost Kamala Harris.

Working as a team, ABC hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis propped up Harris and repeatedly tried to vanquish Trump by talking over him, cutting him off, and asking bizarre questions they did not ask Harris. At one point, Davis jumped in for Harris and offered a rebuttal to one of Trump’s comments on abortion, a move beyond the scope of a moderator.

They allowed Harris more time to respond and followed her when she veered off topic, but gave Trump no such breaks. It was not a debate, but a campaign contribution. That’s not a big surprise from either moderator, as Muir hosts the most Trump-negative network news evening broadcast and Davis has a long track record of promoting Democrat talking points including stolen election claims from Hillary Clinton.

Another Woke Company Comes To Their Senses: Stanley Black & Decker Removes ‘Diversity Quotas’ And ‘Equity Training Workshops’ From Website Following Boycott Calls

The power toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker has now joined a number of U.S. companies who have chosen to halt certain DEI and LGBTQ workshops, policies, and campaigns after facing ongoing boycott calls from consumers.

The company, which is behind brands like DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, has in recent days removed pages about its “equity training” workshops and multimillion dollar giveaways to “racial equity” groups.

However, the company’s website still currently has a tab that is titled “Our Inclusive Culture,” which goes on to state: “We’re building a company culture where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative. Where there is a deep sense of pride, passion and belonging that transcends any role, business unit, language or country. Where all employees feel valued, heard and positioned to do their best work every day.

Italy Seeks Reversal of EU’s 2035 Combustion Engine Ban

By Alberto BrambillaSeptember 07, 2024 at 11:45AM EDT

Bloomberg) — Italian officials said the European Union’s plan to ban sales of new internal combustion engines from 2035 should be reviewed.  

“The ban must be changed,” Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin said on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, on the shores of Italy’s Lake Como, on Saturday. 

Pichetto Fratin called the decision by the EU “absurd,” and dictated by an “ideological vision” along with a state-controlled approach to policy-making within the bloc. The plan needs changing in order to reflect different market realities amid the European auto industry’s slowdown, he added. 

Industry Minister Adolfo Urso also backed a change, urging the incoming European Commission to anticipate the review of the plan to early 2025, from 2026. “In an uncertain landscape which is affecting German automotive industry, clarity is needed to not let the European industry collapse,” Urso said in Cernobbio.

These greentards are delusional. Carbon and petroleum are not the danger they claim, nor is electricity the panacea they propose

If the COVID shots are so safe, then why have over 80% of NHS employees refused to take another booster?

The AI models all seem to agree that this is very troubling. It indicates that the COVID vaccines are not safe and effective, i.e., they lied to you.

Wow. Who would have guessed?

Read what the AI systems had to say.

Financial and Political Influences: There’s also the question of the influence of financial interests behind the push for continuous booster campaigns. The pharmaceutical industry stands to benefit greatly from ongoing vaccination programs, and this could create a conflict of interest that healthcare workers might be wary of. The perception that public health decisions are being influenced by profit motives rather than purely by patient well-being could explain hesitancy, especially among professionals who are well-acquainted with the healthcare industry’s complexities.

First, it’s crucial to acknowledge that healthcare professionals, including NHS employees, are generally more discerning when it comes to medical interventions. They are often at the forefront of witnessing both the benefits and potential adverse effects of treatments, including vaccines. This firsthand experience can shape their perceptions and decisions regarding their own health.

The high percentage of NHS employees refusing boosters could be a reflection of their awareness of the limitations and potential risks associated with repeated vaccinations. It also underscores the need for transparent, unbiased information and respect for individual choices in healthcare.

More, so much more

but they get to see patients who are vax-damaged. They don’t want to be one of them.

Biden Confesses To A Big Lie, And Nobody Notices … Not Even Joe

In a 19-word post on X this past Sunday, President Joe Biden admitted that he has been lying to the public for years. It didn’t make news, partly because Biden is now irrelevant. But it should. Because Kamala Harris is now repeating the lie.

Which EU Countries Are The Most Expensive (And Cheapest)?

In this graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Jenna Ross, we look at price differences across EU countries using data from Eurostat. Countries that are dark blue have the lowest relative prices to the EU average, while countries that are bright blue have the highest relative prices.

Relative prices were determined by the currency needed to buy the same product volume in different countries, calculated using actual individual consumption of goods and services and the exchange rate in each country.

EU Countries: Most to Least Expensive

Luxembourg has the highest prices among EU countries, at 52% higher than the EU average. In particular, education is pricier than anywhere else in the EU at 276% above average.

The country also has the highest wages in Europe, which helps support higher costs.

Bernie Sanders On Kamala, She’s Lying To Win

Bernie Sanders is either doing some serious “damage control” for VP Harris, or he’s out there accidentally spilling the beans. Either way, we’re finally getting a few shreds of truth from these notorious liars. As we suspected, Comrade Kamala is lying through her teeth, trying to trick Americans into thinking she’s some all-American moderate instead of the Marxist radical she really is.

The incident in question happened during a segment on NBC News, where a tired and worn-out Bernie Sanders was asked about Kamala’s constant flip-flopping. Shockingly, Bernie answered the question honestly.

He straight-up told the American people that Kamala is lying to their faces just to “win.”

Just Begging For The Bud Light Treatment – Williams-Sonoma sued over its racist DEI hiring policies

Williams-Sonoma sued over its racist DEI hiring policies

On September 3, 2024 the non-profit first amendment legal firm America First Legal (AFL) filed a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the Williams-Sonoma corporation for its extensive DEI racial hiring policies that specifically favor some skin colors over others.

Williams-Sonoma, a kitchenware and home furnishings retailer with brands including Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Teen, West Elm, Williams Sonoma Home, Rejuvenation, Mark and Graham, and GreenRow, proudly represents to the public and its shareholders and investors that race, sex, and national origin are motivating factors in its hiring, employment, and contracting practices.

As outlined in Williams-Sonoma’s 2024 Annual Report, their Equity Action Plan and Equity Action Committee led to “approximately 68.1% of our total workforce identified as female and approximately 41.1% identified as an ethnic minority group.” The company boasts higher management, comprising “56.6% of Vice Presidents and above identified as female.”

Williams-Sonoma’s Equity Action Committee also appears to reward executives for making race, color, sex, or national origin a motivating factor in hiring and other employee practices. The Equity Action Plan tracked and set goals for the diversity of the company, board members, and board nominees. It then designed the “Associate Equity Network Groups” that benefit some workers and disfavor others, specifically white, male, and religious Americans.

In other words, this company demands race and sex be considered as a qualification for a job, regardless of the person’s skills, experience, or talent, and it also demands that whites and men be put on the back of the bus, considered last in all hiring decisions, merely because they are either white or male.

FAFO – Penzey’s Spice Company Called All Republicans Racist, Then Lost 40,000 Customers in Two Weeks

Republicans ‘raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person,’ Penzey’s Spices CEO wrote in a customer email.

Just two weeks after a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based spice company held a “Republicans are Racist” sale over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, it is dealing with a massive loss of business and openly begging for new customers.

Penzey’s Spices CEO Bill Penzey, who routinely uses his company’s email list to send anti-Republican screeds, sent a newsletter earlier this month in which he accused GOP voters of fantasizing about killing African Americans.

“Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM [Black Lives Matter] wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?” he wrote. “What a bunch of racists.”

In a follow-up email Friday, Penzey acknowledged this allegation had cost his business a substantial number of newsletter subscribers.

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

My first thought was the usual red flags for dating girls. There are the usuals like too many tats, piercings, hair dyed an unnatural color, and feminist attire.

Then it occurred to me that those are for the dating crowd. For me, it is chatty females. When they start in on nothing just because they can’t handle silence, I’m out of there. I can’t take small talk. I will talk for hours on something deep, but yapping just for the sake of talking is a red flag. That is the introvert in me coming out

Bastards: World Economic Forum Finally Tells the Truth About Covid: It Was a ‘Test’ of Our Obedience to Rapidly Forming New World Order

They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity.

I have long said that Covid 19 was launched by design by a small number of people in the globalist predator class for one reason and one reason only — as a beta test for the coming technocratic new world order.

Now, we’ve got the World Economic Forum coming out and all but admitting that was exactly why the Covid-19 “pandemic” had to happen.

The WEF gleefully posted the following snippet to the “My Carbon” page of its website where they make a pitch for so-called smart cities, which is just another term for 15-minute cities.

The first of three “developments” that the WEF says must be in place before the world can evolve into its utopian vision of “smart and sustainable cities,” is compliance with restrictions on our freedom. It writes:

1. COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.

They were testing us. That’s what Covid was all about. They wanted to see how many of us would give up our individual freedom and individual sovereignty by complying with a “new normal” that consisted of restrictions bordering on the absurd.

Why, for instance was it “safe” to shop at Lowe’s or Home Depot but unsafe to shop at a small business or attend church? Why was it OK to go to strip clubs in Michigan but you couldn’t buy seeds for a garden?

How Kamala Is Running The Same Content Free Campaign Biden Did

The New Republic, a publication I can vaguely recall from my youth (when people last cared about it), is saying the quiet part out loud: “Kamala Harris Doesn’t Need Policy to Win.”

This might be a true statement, but coming from the media, Kamala’s policy, or lack thereof, ought to be examined as a matter of public interest. Which is to say that the question they should be asking is not whether Kamala can win an election without talking about policy but whether she should.

Kamala Harris still doesn’t have a single policy position listed on her website. Even Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Hillary Clinton, is appalled:

One interview. One debate. Some rah rah stump speech you read over and over. And voila you have a 50 per cent chance of being president.

Good gig if you can get it. No 3 debates. No 2 years of primaries, coalition building, no detailed policy development, and no daily press briefings. Or tests of leadership.

It’s only the most important job in the world with a $6 trillion budget and thousands of nuclear weapons.

The right thing would be 3 debates, real detailed policy briefings, and full availability to answer questions so the electorate could vote on an informed basis. That’s what real democracy demands.

With Few Debates And One Interview, Harris Is The Political Machine Candidate Running A Celebrity Campaign

It’s been 45 days since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democrats’ effective nominee to maintain the White House, and she hasn’t held a single press conference or given a single interview to a reporter willing to challenger her on the issues.

But answering serious questions about her policy reversals isn’t the point of a celebrity-style campaign. Harris is competing in a popularity contest as the machine candidate installed to claim the White House, and that requires shielding her from the press.

[LISTEN: Kamala Harris: The Machine Candidate]

With barely two months to go before Election Day, Harris has evaded substantive questions about a sudden whiplash of platform reversals on everything from fracking to immigration. With her first and likely only presidential debate scheduled next week in Philadelphia, Harris even tried to get out of that after she refused requests to expand the calendar for the three traditional forums held by the major party candidates.

3 Important Things to Know About the Introverts in Your Life

Here are some excerpts. The link to the full article is below. If you are an introvert, you already know this. If you are an extrovert, it’s really for you. They are the cause of a lot of our anxiety and problems trying to drags us along to a bunch of stuff we’re uncomfortable doing.

1. They need time to mentally prepare for socializing.

An introvert socializes very differently from an extrovert. Many of us “quiet ones” can socialize with people in small or large crowds, but it comes at a cost to our mental and physical energy. Instead, we prefer smaller, more intimate settings, or better yet, quiet evenings at home with just one other person as opposed to those spent out.

Even though I’m an introvert, I can “play the extrovert” when needed. I can put on the perfect smile, don my best dress, and be the perfect lady on your arm. I’ll be charming, witty, and entertaining. I can host a family feast during the holidays or attend that lavish event you’ve been looking forward to all year……

2. Alone time is how introverts recharge.

Speaking of parties, can an introvert go out and party? Sure! But we will probably be the first ones to leave and go home. The crowd of people and the noise — while energizing to extroverts — is utterly exhausting to us introverts.

After The Event is when an introvert needs their alone time the most. I want nothing more than to go home, possibly take a long bubble bath, and spend a day in my pajamas. Downtime is how introverts recharge their energy, both mental and physical. (Here’s the science behind why introverts love — and need — alone time.)….

3. Introverts need their world a little quieter and less crowded.

Even though we love spending time alone, you have to understand that introverts still want to be included. We want to be asked. If we turn down your invitation to dinner or a night out, we might tell you that we’re busy or have other plans. Those plans could very well involve spending the day reading, writing, or binge-watching TV……

How Long Until People Are Willing to Hear That Lockdown Wasn’t Worth It?

Most except the real sheep now know what a farce the lockdown, masks, and the jab were. We have Sweden which didn’t lock down and got over it quickly to compare to. The media won’t tie it to the election, but the evidence remains.

Well, some are waking up, like this:

On March 27th 1913, the population of Columbus, Ohio, started running. Afterwards, nobody was exactly sure why or when. James Thurber, the comic novelist, was a schoolboy in the town and recalled the incident in a famous article some years later. He said that perhaps it was simply someone suddenly remembering an appointment to meet his wife, and then a paperboy in high spirits joined in, and then perhaps a portly man of affairs broke into a trot, and before you knew it, the entire high street, from the union depot to the courthouse, was running. After the run had begun, people began to look for a justification, and the hubbub, the noise, eventually formed into one word: the dam had burst. Nobody stopped to point out that there was zero evidence of it having burst and that, anyway, even if it had, it could not have possibly reached Columbus, Ohio. People ran on for several more miles and then, eventually, sheepishly returned to the town. Here is the point: Thurber said that years passed before anyone dared mention it. Everyone carried on with their business as usual — and woe betide you if you made some jokey remark about the day the dam did not break.

It seems to me that we are in a very similar place with the lockdowns. Then, too, we saw herd instinct at its worst: people joining in one after another without stopping to think. It is an interesting counterfactual to ask what would have happened if the first sign of the pandemic had not been in autocratic China but in a country where lockdowns, the confinement of the entire population, would have been unthinkable — let us say if it had started in the Netherlands or Canada or somewhere. It started in China; then there was the attempt by the Italian Government to stop people moving from north to south; and then, suddenly, lockdowns, which had never been foreseen in any previous planning document, were considered a standard tool of public policy overnight. We were panicked into a response that no one had foreseen prior to those days — by shrieking broadcasters such as Piers Morgan, night after night, saying, “Why aren’t we copying these other countries?”, and all the signs up saying, “Covidiots go home” — and, rather like the people of Columbus, Ohio, we did not stop to think, and we still do not want to go back and ask whether it was justified or proportionate.

It’s Because They Want To Stay In Business By 2030

Volvo has announced it will be getting rid of its plan to sell only fully electric cars by 2030. 

The auto manufacturer announced on Wednesday, that it is now aiming for 90-100% of its global sales to be either pure electric or plug-in hybrid at that point. 

The Swedish company said this will “allow for a limited number of mild hybrid models to be sold, if needed.”

The latest move by Volvo comes after Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have both previously announced a shift in their respective EV strategies. 

“An electric car provides a superior driving experience and increases possibilities for using advanced technologies that improve the overall customer experience,” Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars, said on Wednesday in the written statement.

“However, it is clear that the transition to electrification will not be linear, and customers and markets are moving at different speeds of adoption,” he continued.

The Media Duplicity Towards The Candidates (With Memes)

Contrast: Dana Bash’s Combative Interview With J.D. Vance Versus Softball Exchanges With Kamala

As expected, the “interview” Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, did with CNN‘s Dana Bash on Thursday came off more like a conversation between a spokesperson and their boss, where they are both trying to make sure they are on the same page regarding what to say, how to react, etc.

Indeed, right out of the gate we were treated to a question where multiple choice answers were given by Bash to Harris in a clip on the vice president’s flip flops that dropped several hours before the full pre-taped 18-minute interview aired.

Compare that to this:

BASH: Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you’ve made — that you explained some of here — in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now and you’ve learned more about the information? Is it because you’re running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you’re saying now is gonna be your policy moving forward?

Now, the sarcasm in Meme’s

New York Being Run By CCP

A former top aide to New York’s Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul has been arrested Tuesday on federal criminal charges in a political bombshell. She is accused of acting as an undisclosed agent of China and the Chinese Communist Party. She’s been identified as Linda Sun, who had previously served as Hochul’s deputy chief for a year, following stints in other positions at the state government level.

The significant list of allegations includes that she worked to advance CCP interests in sate government, and in return received huge sums of money and oversaw the facilitation of millions of dollars in transactions connected to Chinese government business interests.

Perhaps most alarming is that she’s alleged to have on multiple occasions blocked the ability of representatives of the Taiwanese government from meetings with NY government officials. Her husband, Chris Hu, has also been arrested, and implicated in the conspiracy.

A list of the key charges against her include:

  • violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act
  • visa fraud
  • alien smuggling
  • money laundering conspiracy

Her husband Chris has been charged with the following violations:

  • money laundering conspiracy
  • conspiracy to commit bank fraud
  • misuse of means of identification

The governor’s office has immediately tried to distance Hochul from Sun, even though it looks like her deputy chief of staff was highly influential:

Hochul’s press secretary Avi Small, in a statement to WNBC News 4 in New York City, said, “This individual was hired by the Executive Chamber more than a decade ago.”

“We terminated her employment in March 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, immediately reported her actions to law enforcement and have assisted law enforcement throughout this process,” Small said.

“Companies are starting to realize the whole DEI thing has been a house of cards,” Starbuck says. “Somebody just had to press the cards. The majority of CEOs in America are very happy to have an excuse to get rid of this stuff.”

Corporate America embraced DEI after a police officer killed African American George Floyd in 2020 during an arrest.

Conservatives say they are in favor of giving minorities better employment and educational opportunities, but that they are against setting unrealistically aggressive targets for hiring or board memberships when they are antithetical to running a profitable, successful business — or become a form of racism unto themselves.

How She Destroyed a Two a Half Year Relationship “Complimenting” Her Boyfriend

This is an interesting post. You have to think about it. The more you do, the more full of shit this girl is for thinking this way. No wonder guys don’t want to have anything to do with some of the girls these days.

Sometimes there’s a Tweet on X that goes viral because men and women have such different perspectives on it. The following Tweet you’re about to see fits that bill. If you were generalizing the reactions, most men seemed to find it horrifying while a surprising number of women seemed to think it was no big deal or even a compliment somehow.

If you’re wondering who’s right, it’s the men. Definitely, the men. Still, everyone needs to see this so they can make up their own minds, right?

From a woman’s perspective, you might be able to see how she thinks of this as backhanded compliment. After all, she doesn’t want to be with all those other guys long-term, but he’s the man she wants to be with permanently. That means she thinks more highly of him than other men. Why, what a silly man! He should understand that’s what she means!

Ok, that’s one interpretation. But, how else could it be interpreted?

Well, a lot of guys would probably hear that “compliment” as another way of saying, “I’ve been with lots of exciting guys, but I couldn’t hook any of them. Now I’m getting older now and I’m ready to settle down with a stable, safe, guy who will mow the yard and pay the bills.”

Is that flattering? Not in the least.

Much more here.

I’d dump her in a second for this. This is a privileged attitude that isn’t justified

This Florida State fan said he would eat dog doo-doo if they lost to Boston College. They lost to Boston College.

Here’s a life lesson for all you sports fans out there: If you love your team so much that you’ll promise to eat dog poop out of a solo cup if they lose, you better be ready to eat dog poop out of a solo cup when they lost

This man has deleted his X account after going viral for this post:

And here’s what happened:

Time to eat dog poop out of a red solo cup with a spoon, my man.

And we’ll need video evidence!

Eat shit and die.

Joey Chestnut Sets World Record by Downing 83 Hot Dogs – Unfinished Beef

Not only that, Kobayashi downed a personal best of 66 in this contest. Either would have won Coney Island this year by a mile.

Joey Chestnut defeated longtime rival Takeru Kobayashi in a hot dog eating contest on Monday afternoon in Las Vegas, chowing down a world record 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Chestnut broke his own record of 76 hot dogs in 2022. Kobayashi finished with 66 hot dogs, his personal record.

“This is amazing,” Chestnut said afterward. “I’ve been trying to hit 80 hot dogs for years. Without Kobayashi, I was never able to do it. He drives me. We weren’t always nice to each other, but I love the way we push each other to be our best.”

It was the first meeting between the hot dog eating champions in 15 years.

“I feel like I did everything I could,” Kobayashi said.

Chestnut is a 16-time Nathan’s hot dog eating champion in the 4th of July competition on Coney Island in Brooklyn, which he was disinvited from this year after signing with rival hot dog maker Impossible Foods and its vegan hot dog.

Netflix live-streamed Monday’s contest, billed as “Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef.”

I got into competitive eating when Kobayashi was eating so many.

Does anyone else wonder about them having to take a dump the next day like I do?

Cancer Deaths Increasing…..Since They Rolled Out The Covid Jab

Three stories to pick from here:

1. Top Oncologist Raises Alarm: Every New Cancer Patient Is Under 45

A leading oncologist is raising the alarm about the staggering surge in cancer cases among young people.

North Carolina‘s Duke University oncologist Dr. Nicholas DeVito is warning that “every new patient” who now comes to his clinic is under 45 years old.

Dr. DeVito says he and his colleagues have experienced a complete demographic switch in recent years.

Based on what he’s seeing every day, talking to patients on the ground and analyzing the data, DeVito is now issuing a red alert to warn the public about the phenomenon.

    2. Dutch Scientists Under Attack for Exposing Links Between Covid Shots and Excess Deaths Surge:

    A group of leading scientists in the Netherlands has become the target of coordinated attacks after they published a study exposing links between Covid mRNA shots and the global surge in excess deaths.

    The Dutch researchers recently published the results of their study into the excess mortality rates in the Western World recorded from 2020 through 2022.

    The study’s paper had been submitted a year ago but faced unprecedented resistance from the scientific establishment.

    The paper was finally published last month.

    Since it has been published, the authors have been subjected to a coordinated media smear campaign.

    3. Top Study Warns of Continued Surge in Cancer Deaths

    Leading oncology experts are warning that surging cancer deaths are going to continue rising over the next few years.

    Cancer cases in men are predicted to rise by 84 percent by 2050, a new study has revealed.

    Deaths from the disease are also expected to almost double in the next 25 years from today, despite surging dramatically in recent years already.

    During a study using official data from 185 nations, scientists concluded that the global burden of cancer in younger men is only going to get worse.

    An estimated 19 million cancer cases are predicted to be diagnosed in 2050 if current trends continue.

    The figure is a staggering increase from the 10 million recorded in 2022.

    Cancer deaths are predicted to soar even higher, going from 5 million in 2022 to over 10 million by 2050, a rise of 93 percent.

    Researchers note that cancer deaths had already carried to unprecedented levels in 2022 following a spike that began in 2021, shortly after Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.

    There is a lot more to read at each of the links. That I ran across this pattern is worrisome for those who got jabbed.

    Administrative State Begins Leaking Information About the Bidens – They Aren’t Useful Anymore

    Maybe President Joe Biden was never a serious member of the Washington, DC, establishment — like the Clintons, the Bushes, or the Obamas — or, maybe, the establishment just had no more use for him.

    Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family.

    One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing.

    The filing stops short of accusing Hunter of having “improperly coordinated with the Obama administration,” but it underscores how Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to indict Hunter on Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations in 2023 while Joe Biden remained in the presidential race.

    Two: The State Department released a document showing that Hunter Biden sought U.S. government help for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company.

    The leak raises additional questions about why Hunter did not register as a foreign agent for his work with Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company that paid Hunter $83,000 per month — or $1 million per year — just weeks after his father was announced as the “point person” on U.S. foreign policy with Ukraine. Hunter had no experience in energy or Ukraine before becoming a board member of the company and asking the U.S. government for help.

    Three: The DOJ revealed the discovery of 117 pages of transcribed discussions between Biden and his ghostwriter, per Fox News

    Why Russia Wants The Democrats To Win

    The story is below, but they know they can (and may already have) compromise/buy the Democrats. They also know that liberals are pussies when it comes to standing up to dictators. Kamala has no idea what to do when a decision needs to be made at the foreign policy poker table of chicken.

    With Trump, they are afraid of what he might do and is not predictable. He has a much stronger backbone to stand up to them. Since he is already rich, he can’t be bought like the rest of Washington. He’s already negotiated and won and they don’t want to have to have a tough fight again.

    This is the real Russia collusion

    Here’s the story:

    Russia sees U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a more predictable opponent than Republican Donald Trump, though in any case there is no prospect of an improvement in relations with Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

    In an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a TV reporter with favored access to the Kremlin, Peskov also appeared dismissive of Trump’s boast that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours if U.S. voters returned him to the White House.

    Before Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from November’s election and threw his support behind Harris, Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that Moscow preferred Biden over Trump, describing the former as an experienced “old school” type of politician.

    With Biden out of the running, Zarubin asked Peskov, laughing: “Then who is our candidate now?”

    Peskov, also laughing, replied: “We have no candidate. But, of course, the Democrats are more predictable. And what Putin said about Biden’s predictability applies to almost all Democrats, including Ms. Harris.”

    A Real Pain In The Ass – Just Ask The Doctor

    A Florida doctor, Ishwari Prasad, was placed on probation and fined $7,500 after two colonoscopy procedures where he failed to adhere to the standard medical protocols, according to the Florida Board of Medicine. The incidents occurred in June 2023 at a Tampa surgery center.

    During one procedure, Prasad, who is hearing-impaired, did not wear his hearing aids, supposedly preventing him from hearing the patient’s screams that he was not fully sedated, according to officials. Additionally, Prasad allegedly delegated a portion of the procedure to a surgical tech who was not a licensed doctor, further compounding the issues during the surgeries.

    Prasad has been restricted from performing gastroenterology procedures following a settlement where he neither admitted nor denied the allegations of medical malpractice. He has been practicing medicine since the early 1980s, with a license issued in Florida in 1990.

    Covid-19, The Preventable Pandemic

    When The Heritage Foundation released its comprehensive report on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, headlines tended to focus on the cost to the U.S. That’s not surprising: At an eye-popping $18 trillion, it’s almost 10 times the projected 2024 budget deficit.

    Arguably, however, the commission’s most infuriating conclusion was this: The global pandemic was “totally preventable,” in the words of Commissioner Dr. Robert Redfield, an experienced virologist who headed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the outbreak.

    Had the Chinese government been more transparent and cooperative at the outset of the pandemic, millions of lives and trillions of dollars could have been spared. The pandemic’s “proximal origin,” the commission found, was the Chinese government’s “aggressive opposition to honesty, transparency, and accountability” along with its “systemic cover up.”

    The Cover-Up

    The commission—a blue-ribbon team of experts led by former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and supported by data scientists, economists, and lawyers—concluded that the SARS-CoV-2 virus began circulating months before Beijing warned the world, likely in August-September 2019. The Chinese government then not only withheld key details, it engaged in an elaborate and deadly cover-up.

    Dr. Jamie Metzl—one of the commission’s Democrats who served at the National Security Council, U.S. Senate, and State Department—condemned Beijing for having “destroyed samples, hidden records, imprisoned Chinese citizen journalists, gagged Chinese scientists, blocked any meaningful international investigations, and cynically sandbagged the World Health Organization.”

    Ratcliffe described China’s behavior during this period as “frankly inexcusable.”

    DEI Update: 22 more academic scandals

    It never stops. What happened to giving kids an actual education instead of indoctrination? It would help them a lot more in life and cost a lot less. Cut the crap.

    #1: MIT stops DEI statements

Analysts are referring to the decision as a turning point in the battle against “wokeness” in academia…

    #2: MIT stops affirmative action

    …and then just yesterday, MIT became the first major university to reveal the ethnic composition of its incoming undergraduate class since SCOTUS ruled against affirmative action last year. Unsurprisingly, asians showed a large (7%) gain, while blacks (-10%) and hispanics (-5) saw large drops. Whites were not impacted. See the black line plummet:

    • MIT’s Black student enrollment drops significantly after Supreme Court affirmative action ruling (NBC News)
    • MIT: Newest students less diverse due to Supreme Court affirmative action decision (The Hill)
    • At M.I.T., Black and Latino Enrollment Drops Sharply After Affirmative Action Ban (New York Times)
    • Top US college says diversity slumps after affirmative action ban (BBC)

    Yesterday, MIT became the first elite undergraduate college to announce the racial/ethnic composition of its first post-Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard freshman class.

    IQ purists argue this 15% —> 5% black decrease doesn’t go far enough, lol, maintaining that ‘‘less than 1% of those admitted would be black if admissions were based purely on academic qualifications.’’

    US, UK, Denmark, Finland, Norway: cumulative excess deaths kept rising after Covid-19 shots rolled out

    Denmark, Finland, and Norway keep impeccable statistics.

    I heard from a scientist in Denmark that the death stats were flat until the shots rolled out.

    She also said that Denmark stopped reporting daily deaths and has switched to reporting deaths quarterly. Does having less information lead to better health outcomes? Or are they hiding something? X

    Similarly, in Norway, they stopped reporting COVID stats due to budget cuts; it had absolutely nothing to do with the numbers getting worse and worse (14X more COVID, 3X more hospitalisations, 3X as much death).

    Here are the numbers. You decide. I think the numbers are pretty incriminating.

    The chart

    Excess deaths are relative to start of the period and excess is measured relative to a 2017-2019 baseline.

    If what they are doing is working, cumulative excess deaths should turn around and fall back to zero. But this just doesn’t happen.

    Deaths monotonically increase. This means that what they did either had no effect or made things worse.

    How they can possibly claim success with numbers like these is a mystery to me.

    The deaths started getting worse after the COVID shots rolled out. If it wasn’t the COVID shots, what is fueling the monotonic rise in excess deaths?

    They lined up like Sheep to get jabbed and it started killing people. It will continue to kill them for years. I can’t believe they fell for this as an entire country. My wife has relatives there and they thought I was crazy for not getting jabbed. Who’s laughing now?
