Women Share Their Red Flags On Dating Apps

I asked a Facebook group of 58,000 women to tell me their biggest dating app red flags.

What is one thing on a man’s dating profile that will instantly make you swipe left or un-match?

I got hundreds of responses, but they all boiled down to the same seven answers.

And — perhaps surprisingly — none of them had anything to do with looks, height or holding a fish.

So let’s get to it.

7. Kids In Photos

This doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want to date a man who has children. They just feel it’s irresponsible to put your child’s face on a dating app.

“I understand loving your children and making it very clear that they are a part of your life,” one woman wrote. “But also, it’s an app where hundreds of people can just access your stuff and keep on keeping on. Like I’ve seen what people do to grown women’s posts on the Internet. I would never put a picture of my child on Tinder or any other app.”

6. Photos With Women

Other than maybe your mom.

One time, a guy told me he includes photos of himself with hot girls on his dating profile because it sends a subliminal message that he’s a catch “since he can get hot women.”

And if that’s not the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, it’s in the top 10.

Just like your wife or girlfriend doesn’t want to look at pictures of you with your ex, potential matches don’t want to feel like it’s a competition before they’ve even gone on a first date.

5. Can’t Hold A Conversation

I think one of the reasons dating apps could not keep my interest is because many of the men simply could not hold a stimulating conversation.

Just an endless stream of, Hey, wyd? Sup? How was your day? over and over again until we both lose interest and quit talking to each other.

I’d say about 99 percent of dating app matches never make it out of the chat.

4. “Not Into Drama”

This was a new one for me, but A LOT of women said it. So clearly, it’s a common line on men’s dating profiles.

“If he has ‘not into drama’ in his bio, it means he IS the drama,” one woman wrote.

Apparently a lot of men also don’t like women who “take themselves seriously.”

3. They Want To Talk On Snapchat

“What’s your snap?”

Three words that will make any woman’s eyes roll to the back of her head — and not in a fun way.

If a grown man only wants to communicate on Snapchat, he is in a relationship or married. Every single time. You might as well write “I’m a cheater” on your forehead and call it a day.

2. Shirtless Photos

This one was my answer, and I’m glad to see I’m not alone. Because this got the second-most mentions out of all the red flags.

A fundamental difference between men and women: If a very hot woman posts a half naked selfie on a dating app, every single man is swiping right. If a very hot man posts a shirtless mirror selfie on a dating app, women are repulsed.

The shirtless mirror selfie (or maybe worse, the pulling-up-my-shirt-to-show-my-abs selfie) is the dead giveaway of douchery. I don’t care if the guy is built like a renaissance statue — I want nothing to do with the level of narcissism he brings to the table.

And — drum roll — the No. 1 answer from the Facebook group. The BIGGEST red flag…

1. Getting Sexual Too Quickly

The ladies have spoken.

If a man immediately starts talking about sex or — God forbid — sends an unsolicited dick pic, it’s game over.

“Not only is it annoying if a guy goes immediately to sex, but it also tells me he’s talking like that to any woman who will entertain it,” one woman wrote.

Just so the men know: If a woman has ever played along with your sexting, then she really likes you. Because that does nothing for us. Dudes get so worked up and horny when they’re sexting. Meanwhile, she’s in the kitchen microwaving noodles in her baggy flannel jammies.

on the other hand, too many piercings, lots of tattoos, unnatural hair dye, a lot of cats, overly emotional outbursts, and being a feminist are red flags the other way. If they generalize that “all men are”, your clue is that all men should be out of there.

Women Don’t Feel Safe in Sweden Anymore

Before I post the story, I know a lot of people who live there. The school teachers tell me instead of stop, drop and roll, how to get away from the rapists. They told me the immigrants moved in and ruined everything. They suck the money out of the social system and made Sweden the rape capital of the world.

Now the story:

This article was written by Swedish independent journalist Peter Imanuelsen, also known as PeterSweden. You can follow him at PeterSweden.com.

New official statistics show that a large number of women feel unsafe in the country.

What do you think when you hear about my home country of Sweden? 40 years ago, most people would have thought about it as one of the most peaceful countries on earth. And that was true.

But things have changed drastically. Decades of Socialist policies have destroyed Sweden.

Now we have some official statistics from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ)

34% of women and 18% of men say that they either feel ”unsafe” or ”very unsafe” being outside in their own neighborhood in the evening.

Among women and girls aged 16 – 19 years old, a whopping 44% say that they don’t feel safe being outside in the evening.

But is this justified?

Turns out that since 2015, there has been a massive increase where people have self-reported being victims of a crime.

A whopping 4.7% of people report having been the victim of a sexual crime, up from 2% back in 2014. That is more than 100% increase!

The last 9 years there has been a whopping 80.928 reported rapes in Sweden. We now have one of the highest number of rapes in the entire world.

I have been warning about this development for years, but I was ridiculed by the mainstream media and ”experts”.

The weird thing is, that many people still continue to vote for more Socialism despite these horrible statistics.

I can even remember self-proclaimed feminist and Swedish singer Zara Larsson attacking me on social media many years ago while ignoring the rape crisis in Sweden. You can’t make it up.

You can read my in-depth article on the truth about the Swedish rape crisis from a few years ago here.

FAFO – Anti-Israeli Protesters

From the Associated Press:

For college students arrested protesting the war in Gaza, the fallout was only beginning

Since her arrest at a protest at the University of Massachusetts, Annie McGrew has been pivoting between two sets of hearings: one for the misdemeanor charges she faces in court, and another for violations of the college’s conduct code.

It has kept the graduate student from work toward finishing her dissertation in economics.

“It’s been a really rough few months for me since my arrest,” McGrew said. “I never imagined this is how UMass (administration) would respond.”

Some 3,200 people were arrested this spring during a wave of pro-Palestinian tent encampments protesting the war in Gaza. While some colleges ended demonstrations by striking deals with the students, or simply waited them out, others called in police when protesters refused to leave.

Many students have already seen those charges dismissed. But the cases have yet to be resolved for hundreds of people at campuses that saw the highest number of arrests, according to an analysis of data gathered by The Associated Press and partner newsrooms.

Along with the legal limbo, those students face uncertainty in their academic careers. Some remain steadfast, saying they would have made the same decisions to protest even if they had known the consequences. Others have struggled with the aftermath of the arrests, harboring doubts about whether to stay enrolled in college at all.

Chuck Norris On The Woke Olympics

The Olympics’ governing body has a very serious public relations problem, and an even more serious athletic competitor fairness dilemma. And I’m not even sure the Olympic hierarchy understands how severe the issue is. But when my friends around the globe – who are on every side of the aisle – all complain to me, Olympic officials need to listen and make some better decisions.

If you’ve been on summer vacation and haven’t heard, at least two Olympic events this past week have caused earthshattering global disturbance, debate, division and even despair.

The first came in the Olympic’s opening ceremony which showcased DJ and producer Barbara Butch – an LGBTQ+ icon – flanked by drag artists and dancers in a scene that clearly mimicked and mocked Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” not the feast of Dionysus. This scene was taken from the Bible in which Jesus was surrounded by His 12 Apostles and instituted the first Communion the night before His suffering and Crucifixion.

Immediate responses of disgust, disdain and condemnation (followed by a call to boycott the Olympics) came from millions on every social media platform followed by ecclesiastical and other leaders – including the French Catholic Church – and athletic champions and Olympic lovers all around the globe. The mockery and sacrilege were obvious.

Was it really necessary to use one of the most sacred rites and depictions in Christendom to demonstrate and even “push” LGBTQ+ diversity? Obviously not. And “we didn’t intend that” doesn’t justify such clear offensive oversight.

If the secular world can refrain from displaying images of Mohammed because Islam condemns them, can it not offer respect without defaming Jesus and offending Christians around the world?

Moreover, with a record low of people watching the summer Olympics already (only 35%, according to Gallup), did the Olympic overseers really overlook the likelihood of offending and alienating the largest religious population on the planet and further diminish its viewing audience?

A massive global boycott is exactly what resulted. And those who paid and pay the price are all the amazing Olympic athletes from every country in every sport who have worked for years with heart and perseverance to get to that stage of competition.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not homophobic. I believe in America we must embrace diversity. Indeed, America was founded upon it.

However, what happens when promoting diversity and inclusion denigrates and even desecrates others’ core convictions or religious practices?

Do DEI advocates, including those overseeing the Olympics, expect others to tolerate (and even embrace) their views while they denigrate others before a global audience? Justifying one’s freedom to act should not warrant stepping all over others who differ from you. Doesn’t diversity go both ways?

Democracy is not mob rule, and yet so often modern Americans (and those in other western countries) interpret it that way: “If you don’t believe as we do, we will force our convictions upon you, using social, economic, legal, emotional and any other type of pressure until you consent in agreement and conformity.”

(I encourage you subscribe and read the latest edition of the Whistleblower, “America’s All-Out Religious War,” which details many other anti-religious incidents in society like the above.)

The second Olympic fracture last week erupted when the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was deemed to have male XY chromosomes (be biologically male) though registered as a woman, won a fight in just 46 seconds in the 66-kilogram women’s division against Italy’s Angela Carini.

Within 30 seconds, Carini was hit by Khelif in the face with brute force. Her nose started bleeding from what later was discovered was a broken nose. In her history of fighting, she said, she “never felt [a] punch like this.”

She went to her cornermen to call off the fight, decrying the competition afterwards as an absolutely “unfair” matchup.

After the judge announced victory to Khelif, Carini bowed to her knees in tears, not believing what just occurred and that her Olympic dreams were dashed to the wind by a man.

“I got into the ring to fight,” she said, via Italy’s ANSA. “I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.”

Carini, who is as tough as nails and a supreme woman’s fighter, was willing to step into the ring with this Algerian boxer despite all of Italy had been asking her not to fight for days, her coach explained.

Come to find out, “Khelif fought under a firestorm of controversy regarding a failed gender eligibility test in 2023, in which he ‘was disqualified during the 2023 World Championships sanctioned by the International Boxing Association. The organization said Khelif, and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting failed to meet gender eligibility standards,'” according to FOX News.

International Boxing Association (IBA) president Umar Kremlev explained the decision at the time, according to Russia’s Tass News Agency. Reuters also reported that Khelif tested positive for having high levels of testosterone.

“Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition,” Kremlev said.

I knew when I saw Carini’s genuine fear and tears, and what appeared as a winning-smugness of Khelif, I had to say something as a world fighting champion.

Soon after the fight, Riley Gaines – a 12-time All-American swimmer who describes herself as a “leader defending women’s single-sex spaces” – posted on X, “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini.” (Riley also called the opening ceremony a “Satanic display.”)

Tesla, X and SpaceX owner Elon Musk, who first voiced opposition to the Olympic opening ceremony scenes by saying it was “extremely disrespectful to Christians,” secondly stood up for Carini by agreeing with Riley Gaines post, replying, “Absolutely!

And I think J.K. Rowling’s opine on X hit the proverbial nail on the head when it came to the fight between Carini and Khelif, posting the photo above and writing: “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”

Even closer to home was the outrage of a former Olympic boxing champion and two-time gold medalist Claressa Shields, who has won titles in three different weight classes and the current undisputed junior middleweight champion, and the unified middleweight champion. (Women’s boxing is divided between 17 weight classes, from heavyweight to atomweight.)

Shields immediately wrote on X: “So they got men fighting against women in the Olympics boxing ! I wouldn’t have stood for no stuff like that! That is so heartbreaking to the women who have to have their dreams ruined by a man. Sad asf!”

The day after the Olympic boxing debacle, Claressa also hit the airways to voice her professional and personal opposition: “It is very hard to qualify for the Olympics. You have to go through so many different international tournaments, country tournaments to even make it to the Olympics. So, for me, I can understand [Carini’s] devastation. But it shouldn’t be ruined due to a man. And I think that the Olympics definitely dropped the ball.”

“It’s just unfair. I just can’t believe that it’s being done, and I just couldn’t imagine it happening to me,” Shields said.

Even trans Caitlyn Jenner, who won the 1976 men’s decathlon as Bruce Jenner, said in an interview on FOX News: “This issue has hurt the Olympic Games so much. … Everyone’s talking about it.”

Jenner agreed that Khelif should not be in a women’s category: “I hate to be so downright rough … but we have to have rules and regulations, and it has to come down to DNA,” explaining that those with XY chromosomes should be in a men’s competition.

“I think the Olympic committee did absolutely the wrong thing by letting [Khelif] compete,” Jenner added on X. “Shame on the IOC for not protecting the integrity of women’s sports, and shame on the IOC for not protecting the safety of women’s sports.”

“A 2020 study by the British Journal of Medicine showed that even male athletes who are ‘transitioning’ retain their competitive edge [at least a 12% advantage] against women even after two years of taking estrogen. Currently, trans-identifying biological males can compete on women’s teams in the NCAA and Olympics after only one year of being on estrogen,” the Heritage Foundation reported.

I (Chuck) don’t pretend to have all the Olympic or athletic answers for diversity and inclusion without causing further divisions and global disturbance. But I do know that in yesteryear’s generations, like those from my 103-year-old mother’s Greatest Generation, had a whole lot more respect for those they differed with. They agreed to disagree agreeably, rather than spew vitriol and make various threats to get their way as so many do today.

And as far as actual fighting goes: As a six-time undefeated middleweight world karate champion myself, we always competed within the boundaries of those who were in our class, including gender, weight, athletic abilities, belt degrees, etc.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has repeatedly said that if your passport says you are a woman, you can compete in women’s sports; but that criteria can no longer suffice our world of inclusion and diversity.

However, according to Dr. Dr. Bradley Anawalt, an endocrinologist and professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, science has its limitations in this dogfight over female and male gender identification and verification.

While I don’t doubt that, it still seems to me most of the gender debate in athletics today can be settled by some upgraded form of chromosome or DNA testing. Of course, the mistakes and polarizations in the athletic history of gender identification and profiling will have to be avoided as an upgraded form of testing is established. Advanced neurobiology studies might even help.

As a general rule, those who have proven XY chromosomes fight in male competitions while those who have XX chromosomes fight in female competitions; even intersex individuals often lean one way or the other. Variance to these (however miniscule to the majority) will have to be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Even Reem Alsalem, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, echoed the need for further gender testing of some type: “We know that there are simple, efficient, dignified ways of testing sex … that are not invasive, that are cheap and that are reliable.

She explained, “So I think that will be one of the first things really to come back, why is that such a problem, if it can particularly resolve an issue and if it can allay fears, and concerns which are very valid. So that would be my question really to the IOC and … I have, in fact, discussed with the IOC in preparation for my report – the inclusivity and diversity guidelines.”

Alsalem will deliver to the U.N. General Assembly in October a report that will have a focus on violence faced by women in sport. Please read the Heritage Foundation’s submission as well.

I’ll say it one more time: The Olympics’ governing body has a very serious public relations problem, and an even more serious athletic competitor fairness dilemma.

Bottom line, if the Olympic authorities continue to promote sexual diversity and inclusion over fairness in international athletic competition, this I guarantee: They will continue to experience the thrill of victory and the agony of diversity.

Should Have Dumped The Renewables – German manufacturing firms are looking at options as sky-high energy costs weigh on bottom line

German manufacturing firms are considering scaling back production or relocating operations as the high cost of energy in the renewable-committed nation cuts into their profits, according to a new survey. 

The German “2024 Energy Transition Barometer,” which was published by the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, surveyed firms employing 500 people or more. 

“The trust of the German economy in energy policy has been severely damaged. Policy makers have failed to show companies that they can have reliable and affordable energy supply,” said Achim Dercks, the association’s deputy managing director, according to OilPrice.com. 

A report in May from the Federation of German Industries concluded that Germany had lost a decade’s worth of growth in production since before the outbreak of the pandemic in 2019.

How They Are Making It Harder To Avoid mRNA Technology

For those of us who chose not to get the Covid jab, our decision has been justified with the facts. It is unstable within our bodies and is causing SADS along with a host of other problems. There is a long list of complications to human health.

It was as easy as saying no at first. Now, they are contaminating our food supply.

Story here:

The bird flu outbreak in U.S. dairy cows is prompting development of new, next-generation mRNA vaccines — akin to COVID-19 shots — that are being tested in both animals and people.

Next month, the U.S. Agriculture Department is to begin testing a vaccine developed by University of Pennsylvania researchers by giving it to calves. The idea: If vaccinating cows protects dairy workers, that could mean fewer chances for the virus to jump into people and mutate in ways that could spur human-to-human spread.

Meanwhile. the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has been talking to manufacturers about possible mRNA flu vaccines for people that, if needed, could supplement millions of bird flu vaccine doses already in government hands.

It’s been in pork products for a while.

My advice is to buy local organic food if possible. The bastards trying to poison us will not stop trying to kill us.

For the record, there are very few bird flu cases in humans. This is just a false front to try and infect our DNA.

Paying For Votes When You Aren’t Cool Enough To Earn Them

Harris Campaign Is Paying People to Make Kamala Look ‘Cool’ to GenZ Voters

The Harris campaign’s reliance on social media to make Vice President Kamala Harris appeal to GenZ has taken a desperate and cringe-worthy turn. 

As Harris positions herself to be the Democratic 2024 nominee, the campaign has taken a pivotal shift in its political strategy to boost her votes. 

Harris’ TikTok account, initially used to make President Joe Biden appear more relatable, is now flush with memes trying to make Harris seem “cool.” CNN commentator Van Jones pointed this out, saying that Harris has gone from “cringe to cool.” 

In an even more desperate attempt to gain the votes of the younger generations, social media influencers are reportedly being offered money in exchange for posting content that makes the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seem more appealing. 

Comedian Steve McGrew shared an email he received from a company called “Launch Viral,” offering a “paid post-collaboration opportunity” to support Harris. The offer includes a “$150 cash paid bonus incentive.”

Who are the real racists?

‘The worst enemy of the black community is the white liberal’

This is their formula for the vile victory they seek. Create misery in the inner cities, where they have herded people of color, and sold them a big lie, that their grief is the conscious will of those who have not governed there for decades. That the police are not there to help, but are as an occupying army, to be heroically resisted. District attorneys, in our major cities have established policies of siding with the lowest of the communities they should be serving and protecting.

Murder rates explode where the real racists charge the police with such a bias as deserving of being defunded. By prosecuting the police more readily than criminals, they create law enforcement unwilling to act and unable to protect. With the flooding of funds from Mr. Soros and a host of NGO’s being fed through the Tides Foundation, they have released a host of predators, back into the neighborhoods, to steal, murder and terrorize people who once could walk the streets in safety.

Here is how we can tell who the real racists are.

The real racists supply communities of color with twice the number of pre-natal slaughterhouses than are found in white communities with five times the population. Margaret Sanger sings their praises from hell. The real racists provide schools that are meant to be factories of brainwashed illiteracy. The real racists propagandize the colored folk with endless excuses to hate the whites, while convincing as many as possible of the absurdity that black folks, being oppressed, cannot be racist, by definition, and claiming this is the essence of “anti-racism.” The real racists are among the truly godless, who fill the souls of God’s children with soul-killing hatred. They delight in watching the poorest and angriest bleed out in the streets, confined to their monotone neighborhoods and turning this culture of hatred against each other. The real racists, hands over hearts, proclaim their love of their victims, and promise them streets of gold, while standing over them with a boot on their throat while calculating just how they might steer the gathering insanity.

Why? Is Being The Most Liberal Candidate A Problem?

With less than four months before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris is working at a disadvantage as she appears to have been chosen for the position at the top of Democrats’ 2024 presidential ticket.

Fortunately for Harris, many in the establishment media and other institutions capable of holding her accountable appear more willing to revise history to protect her than offer any criticism to flourish.

Most recently, a scorecard ranking Harris as the “most liberal” senator during her time in that chamber has disappeared entirely from the internet.

Kamala Harris Kept Black Men in Prison Past Their Release Date in California So She Could Milk Them for Cheap Labor

Kamala Harris kept hundreds of black men in prison past their release date so she could use these men for $2 a day for cheap California state labor.

That alone should have disqualified Kamala Harris from public office.
Extending prison sentences for cheap labor sounds like criminal activity.

Back in February 2019 Jackie Kucinich at The Daily Beast wrote about Kamala Harris’s Attorney General office keeping inmates locked up so the state could use them for cheap labor.

Just like slavers.

Ordered to reduce the population of California’s overcrowded prisons, lawyers from then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office made the case that some non-violent offenders needed to stay incarcerated or else the prison system would lose a source of cheap labor.

In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Plata that California’s prisons were so overcrowded that they violated the Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. Three years later, in early 2014, the state was ordered to allow non-violent, second time offenders who have served half of their sentence to be eligible for parole.

When Your Wiener Is Broken And You Can’t Drive It Home

OAK BROOK, Ill.—An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile got into a pickle on a Chicago highway.

The hot-dog shaped Wienermobile hit a car Monday morning along Interstate 294 and its driver lost control and overcorrected, causing it to roll onto its side near the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Illinois State Police said.

No injuries were reported after the crash, which prompted the closure of the right lane of northbound I-294 for more than an hour, officials said.

A spokesperson for the Oscar Mayer brand, which has several Wienermobiles, told the Chicago Sun-Times it’s “grateful that everybody involved is safe and there were no injuries.”

Video from the crash scene shows that the yellow and orange Wienermobile was later hauled away on a flatbed truck with apparent damage visible on part of the vehicle.

It’s Because Green Is A More Important Color Than Black To Obama

The power play is acting out before our eyes for the Democrat Presidential nomination. While they pontificate about how important race is to the Obama’s, his actions don’t support that.

Sure, he divided everyone by race when we were all getting along, but that was so he could win an election and get rich (and drunk on power).

When it came time to back the black, Obama wouldn’t play. There is too much future money on the line. I guess he can be as racist as anyone else.

Full Story

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God and political commentator Angela Rye criticized former President Barack Obama on Monday for not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday.

Shortly after Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing, he endorsed Harris to take his place atop the Democratic ticket. Charlamagne and Rye on “The Breakfast Club” radio show said they believe Obama declining to endorse Harris puts him on the “wrong side of history.”

“I’m still not that happy with Barack Obama because when he needed Kamala to campaign for him, she was right there. And I feel like he was trying to be in this role of, like, ‘Let’s let this process play out,’ and it’s like, no, bro, she’s on the ticket,” Rye said. “If she’s on the ticket, all of his pledged delegates now go to Kamala Harris. That’s the same thing that happened in the contested convention in 1968 with Lyndon B. Johnson dropping out after RFK challenged him.”

Kamala – Uniquely Unlikable

A very unlikable candidate lost the election in 2016. Now, this

Why the establishment wouldn’t want Kamala headlining the ticket isn’t difficult to understand. She is uniquely unlikeable, despite her traits which would ostensibly make her intersectional gold on the Left. This is true even among her own party, as is evident by her quick exit from the 2020 presidential campaign. Her “once promising campaign that began with an explosion of enthusiasm,” NBC reported in December of 2019, “fizzled quickly” — but not before she was able to land some memorable haymakers on Joe Biden in the debates, framing him as a dangerous racist who rubbed elbows with segregationists and opposed racial integration of schools.

She went on to experience a similar freefall in support after becoming Joe Biden’s diversity pick for vice president. Despite enjoying a net positive approval in early 2021, by June the honeymoon was quickly over. She was mired in controversy over her inept approach to the “diplomatic mission of solving the ‘root causes’ of migration,” and fueled further by a painful interview with Lester Holt in which she bristled at his observation that she had not even been to the border.

That she was given such an undesirable and impossible task by Joe Biden may very well have been retribution for her attacks against him in the primaries and as a means of gaining some insurance for his presidency. Kamala Harris may have had some success in fashioning a persona as a high-powered female prosecutor of color, but Joe Biden undoubtedly recognized that once the spotlight is maintained on her for more than a few seconds, she’s obviously nothing more than a cackling fraud who could never be taken seriously as a president.

Don’t Expect Any Information To Come Out On The Assassination Attempt, FBI Investigating Itself and Secret Service, Again

President Biden on Sunday announced an FBI investigation into the Secret Service’s astounding failure to protect Donald Trump at the rally in Butler, Pa., promising the probe would be “thorough and swift.”

But it’s folly to trust a federal law enforcement agency to obliterate interagency niceties by exposing all the foibles and flubs of fellow G-men.

Instead, we’ll likely see a vintage DC investigation along these lines: Please tell us if you screwed up. Also, is there someone else we can blame? 

An FBI analysis in 2023 recommended targeting conservative Catholics as potential violent extremists, citing nine “radical-traditionalist Catholic” organizations as “hate groups.” Twenty state attorneys general denounced the Bureau for effectively claiming that it could “distinguish the bad Catholics from the good ones” based on their “preference for ‘the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican teachings.’”

It’s the same agency that authorized the “use of deadly force” by FBI agents conducting a massively publicized raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in pursuit of government documents. (Federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges stemming from the raid on Monday.) 

The agency knew early on that Hunter Biden’s laptop was bona fide, but did nothing to debunk the claims by CIA officials and others that it was Russian disinformation prior to the 2020 election.  

President Biden said the investigation into the Secret Service's failures will be “thorough and swift.”

It will be like the LV shooter, the Hunter Biden Laptop, the Afghanistan withdrawal, the JFK assassination, the Whitmer kidnapping and the other crimes never solved by the FBI.

Darren Beattie just asked the mind-blowing million-dollar question about the Trump shooter…

There’s a ton of mystery surrounding the Trump assassination attempt, and lots of folks are zeroing in on one big thing: a rooftop just 150 yards from where Trump was speaking was left totally unguarded. Say what? Obviously, it’s a huge oversight, and we definitely need some answers. But Revolver’s own Darren Beattie, the same guy who blew the lid off the J6 “Fedsurrection,” is digging into the real head-scratcher here.

As Darren puts it, it’s not just about why that spot was left open and unguarded. The real kicker is, how did the shooter know that the rooftop would be empty and totally ignored? How did the shooter know that the rooftop wasn’t crawling with cops, snipers, or Secret Service? Why did he choose the only unguarded spot around? Was it just blind, dumb luck, or something more sinister? It’s definitely something to think about.

Celebtards On Display – Does Hollywood Have Trump’s Blood on Its Hands?

Why do we even listen to these people? They pretend for a living. Few are well-educated and few live outside of the liberal bubble that is a high school club for mean kids. I’m glad they made it and are wealthy, but don’t tell me how to live, love, vote, pray or have an actual life that I have to work at rather than pay others for.

Louis C.K. has the dubious honor of being the first major star to call Donald Trump “Hitler.”

He was far from the last.

Yesterday, a 20-year-old gunman missed killing Trump by centimeters at a Butler, Pa. rally. We’re waiting for specifics on the gunman’s motives, although it doesn’t take Columbo to sniff out the basics.

The Left blamed Sarah Palin for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ 2011 shooting on the flimsiest charges imaginable. The media ran with the vile line of attack.

HiT is loathe to do that here given the lack of information regarding the assassination attempt. Suffice it to say the creative class has acted in a ghastly fashion for more than eight years.

This tolerant, progressive community should be ashamed of itself. And it’s high time for it to stop.

Will it?

We’ve yet to see many stars share their outrage over the July 13 shooting. Celebrities typically flock to social media to comment on breaking news headlines. When a mass shooting occurs we see a flood of social media messages demanding gun control now, for example, along with attacks on GOP politicians allegedly to blame.

Here is the list of losers on the wrong side of most things.

Competitive Eating Update – Joey Chestnut Eats 200 Wings In 38 Minutes After Inhaling 57 Hot Dogs On The Fourth Of July; Nathan’s Runner Up Caught Cheating

First the positive:

Joey Chestnut doing Joey Chestnut things!

While most Americans were trying to figure out how to get through their Monday back to work after Fourth of July weekend, legendary competitive eater Joey Chestnut was right back to throwing down at the table and setting records.

During the holiday weekend, the official Twitter account of Buffalo Wild Wings issued a challenge to Chestnut to smack 200 boneless wings — challenge accepted.

Normally, Chestnut is getting some relaxation in after winning another belt at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he ended up getting banned from the event after inking a contract with Impossible Foods, a grower of fake meat that Nathan’s didn’t want any part of.

But B-Dubs did!

“hey @joeyjaws if you eat 200 boneless wings tomorrow at all you can eat, i’ll extend it to 8/14,” wrote Buffalo Wild Wings in a Sunday morning tweet.

Story

Now this. I didn’t think you could cheat, yet here we are:

The competitive eating world has been completely shaken up after a cheating scandal has rocked the 2024 edition of the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest that takes place every Fourth of July, with a contender being hit with allegations of trying to crank up his score by using hand trickery.

Nick Wehry, the husband of women’s hot dog champion Miki Sudo, allegedly used sleight of hand trickery while the contest was happening in an attempt to fraudulently increase the number of hot dogs that he ate to become a part of the elite contenders of the sport, according to insider sources who told this information to the New York Post.

“100% he cheated,” one source said Tuesday to The Post.

Originally, Wehry had a score of 46.75 hot dogs eaten, however, that figure got bumped up to 51.75 later. According to the outlet’s sources, he ended up getting credit for eating five more wieners than what he actually did. On top of that, Wehry is also being knocked with accusations of “stealing plates” from a fellow competitor, stacking them in his area to bring his tally over 50. Oh! And he asked for a recount after the original scoring from the judge.

#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly – Teachers Union Head Mocked For ‘Totally Unhinged’ Speech

The president of the country’s largest teachers union was mocked for a “totally unhinged” speech in which she shouted about winning “all the things.”

Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA), banged on the podium, waved her arms, and laughed out loud as she shouted about social justice last week at the union’s Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly in Philadelphia.

“With determination and defiance, we will protect public education,” she said. “We will fight privatization. We will fight vouchers. We will fight any and all schemes to drain resources from our beloved public schools!”

For the record, private schools and vouchers for kids to get them to a better school have proven to provide a better education. Public schools teach to the lowest level.

This is about money, power and control. She even says so without realizing it.

What Time Do You Go To Bed And Wake Up?

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

I’m retired. I was tired yesterday and I’ll be retired today. I have all the time in the world to sleep and now I can’t pull it off like the good old days

I go to bed when I’m tired. Sleep can be a battle anyway when you get older. I get as much as I can so getting a head start is not unknown to me.

As far as waking up? I don’t have a real choice in that matter either. If the sun is up, I’m hosed. I just have to hope I have enough by then. I’m glad I don’t live in Northern Europe where the sun is up by 4:30.

Then there is the fun game that seasoned citizens play called get up to pee. There is no telling how many times that will happen. That can throw a spanner in the works of trying to get back to sleep. An all nighter for me would be not having to piss, but I can’t remember that happening in a decade.

‘France has no future for Jews’ – Is It The 1930’s Again

The announcement of election results in France’s snap parliamentary elections on Sunday night revealed a challenging reality for many in the country: The parliament is almost evenly split between left and right parties.

The far-left New Popular Front (NFP) party, which won the most seats, is a coalition of political groups united primarily by their opposition to the far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen.

However, it is not just the general French population that is concerned; French Jews, in particular, are left wondering about their future as the rise of the far-left appears to coincide with an increase in antisemitism across the country.

How Bad Is NYC? The Rats Are Now A Tourist Attraction

I get why New Yorkers think that “The City” is the epicenter of the world. I also have had to travel there most of my life for business and have seen the dump that it really is. The Mayors since the 80’s have taken it steadily downhill until it is now a version of The Strain.

It’s being destroyed from within like Chicago, Portland, LA, SF and other major cities with similar political leaders.

Now this.

There is a new rat race in town.

Tourists are flocking to the Big Apple to check out its exploding rat population — and tour guides are tailoring excursions to introduce them to the city’s most beady-eyed natives.

Kenny Bollwerk maps out late-night rat routes near Rockefeller Center and in Flushing and Sunnyside, Queens.

Luke Miller, owner of Real New York Tours, adds a stop to Columbus Park near Chinatown for tourists with a yen for vermin.

“They are like the new celebs in New York City with all the press they are getting,” said Miller.

Such fascination may have begun seven years ago when New York City’s most famous rodent, the Pizza Rat, drew 12 million viewers to an online video of it trekking down subway stairs while dragging a full slice.

McDonald’s McPlant Sandwich Face McPlants – Fails Spectacularly

People vote with their money. The vegetarian weenies didn’t like McDonald’s to begin with and those who do go would never go for a sandwich that tastes like McShit.

The iconic hamburger chain McDonald’s thought it might try to appease the anti-meat forces by experimenting with McPlant. The result was a spectacular failure.

McDonald’s declared that its experiment with plant-based burgers was a disaster.

Joe Erlinger, who heads US operations for the Chicago-based fast food giant, told a business conference that the company discontinued the pilot program after customers in San Francisco and Dallas-Fort Worth panned the McPlant.

The McPlant “was not successful in either market,” Erlinger told the Wall Street Journal’s Global Fast Food Forum in Chicago on Wednesday.

“I don’t think the US consumer is coming to McDonald’s or looking for McPlant or other plant-based proteins from McDonald’s now.”

The McPlant was test-marketed in San Francisco. If a plant-based burger can’t succeed in this super-woke city, it is doomed.

Speaking at the WSJ Global Food Forum, Erlinger said he had “asked the team to test the McPlant in two very different markets, and they chose San Francisco and Dallas.”

McDonald’s kicked off testing of the plant-based burger in the two cities in February 2022 and concluded it after a limited time. It involved about 600 restaurants in total.

“It was not successful in either market,” the McDonald’s USA president said at the forum. “So, I don’t think the U.S. consumer is coming to McDonald’s or looking for a McPlant or other plant-based proteins from McDonald’s now.”

I’m not surprised that it did better in Europe, but I would expect that and that’s nothing to be proud of.

Tech Companies Going For Nuclear Powered AI

Now there will be less electricity for cars and other things that shouldn’t be electrified. For the rest of us, we’ll just get a bigger power bill for our houses.

Tech companies are increasingly looking to nuclear energy to meet their evolving power needs, potentially at the expense of grid reliability and ordinary American ratepayers, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The owners of about one in every three American nuclear plants are negotiating with technology firms to reach deals in which the plants would sell tech companies nuclear-generated electricity to operate their power-hungry data centers, key infrastructure that the tech firms need to support the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, according to the WSJ. The trend could divert reliable energy generation away from the rest of the power grid at a time when grid watchdogs are warning of longer-term reliability problems as electricity demand is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years due to the proliferation of data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), advanced manufacturing facilities and more.

For example, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is close to reaching an agreement with Constellation Energy to buy electricity from an East Coast nuclear plant, and AWS also spent $650 million on a nuclear-powered data center in Pennsylvania earlier this year, according to the WSJ. The Pennsylvania data center can receive enough electricity to keep the lights on in hundreds of thousands of households, and its purchase spurred tech sector interest in similar deals that allow companies to buy power directly from plants without needing to spend much on additional grid infrastructure to access that electricity.

Data centers may end up accounting for as much as 9% of all power consumption in America by 2030, according to the WSJ, and some officials — such as Pennsylvania Consumer Advocate Patrick Cicero — are concerned that the tech sector’s union with nuclear energy could hurt ordinary consumers by driving up prices and commanding a large share of the nation’s reliable carbon-free power.

Duke Believes White People Are Racist

Note: I lived near there for decades. The Duke grads were no different and just as biased and sanctimonious as any Ivy League school. That should have been a compliment, but given the gutter that those schools chose to live in, they offer social indoctrination, not education. At work, if someone started with the college degree talk, we knew to avoid their ideas and input. They’ve let woke ideas ruin both faculty and students under the cabana of social justice.

Stick to basketball, you used to be good at it.

Some precepts are inviolate, non-negotiable, and irreplaceable. America’s preeminent precept was penned by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence: “all men are created equal.” At Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln reiterated this core belief: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” It justified the Civil War. Equality of its individuals was America’s foundational proclamation. Martin Luther King, Jr. appealed to it in his “I Have A Dream” speech: “When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”

Image: Duke University School of Medicine. Public domain.

However, Duke advocates replacing the equality of American individuals for the equality of American groups– calling it “equity.” Substituting equity for equality is a paradigm shift and a clash of visions. Individuals are equal, groups are not. The question I posed to Duke setting me at odds with them (and they with me) was: “Please explain why equity is preferable to equality.” Duke refused to answer despite inviting any “questions or concerns” employees had regarding their “Pledge” of allegiance to equity rather than equality. My repeated question given in person and in writing went repeatedly unanswered. Had Duke been forthcoming they would have said something like:

“Duke believes white people are racists. The primary (perhaps only) reason Blacks as a group are less wealthy and have poorer health outcomes is due to the unconscious racism of white people. Duke believes Blacks will never be as well off as white people under the American meritocratic system because it primarily advantages whites. The sole hope Blacks have for obtaining economic and health parity is for it to be given to them. We will know when unconscious racism has been overcome when health and financial outcomes among groups are equal.” That is- you are a racist until outcomes are equal.

For Duke, the supposed deleterious effect of unconscious thoughts necessitates ending the free enterprise system because Blacks cannot compete in a free-market economy given that whites are unconscious racists. It is insuperable. Never-mind the median household income for groups in America from top earners down is: Indians, Filipino, Taiwanese, Sri Lankan, Japanese, Malaysian, Chinese, Pakistani, and then White Americans. America is a success story.

Duke is leading us away from the successful melting-pot vision to the dreadfully unsuccessful socialist vision with this single flash of (pseudo)inspiration- “whites are unconscious racists.” What becomes foundational to Duke is not that people are “created equal” but that whites are “unconscious racists.” Duke cultivates a society where black patients should prefer black doctors (because whites are unconsciously killing them) and everyone else should avoid black doctors if hired under DEI (Didn’t Earn It).

The imagined and almost hysterical importance ascribed to unconscious racism [which is unquantifiable and highly suspect] is surely a flimsy pretense for sacrificing your birthright as an American (black, white or any other color). I wouldn’t be bamboozled, cowed or silenced by this tulip bulb mania which is bound to collapse. They claim unconscious racism justifies collectivism and a “fundamental transformation” to the American experiment. But unconscious racism is a modern day witch-hunt: “Prove you are not a witch/racist.” People should be judged by their words and deeds only, not by mental telepathists who presume to read your mind- sheer absurdity.

Duke further promotes group collectivism through social justice. Why do we need “social” justice? Does justice need a modifier? Why not simply treat each individual with justice- period? Justice means giving each person what he or she deserves. But Duke wishes you to think collectively, not individually, therefore they talk of social justice for groups rather than of justice for individuals. Treating each individual justly will ensure social justice. All justice is social. A person on a deserted island can be neither just nor unjust.

Americans don’t want equity, we want equality. We don’t want social justice, we want justice. Socialists, collectivists, and Marxists aim for equity and social justice whose end is poverty and subjugation. Classical Liberalists, free-marketers, and individualists aim after equality and justice whose end is prosperity and freedom.

Resist the collectivists. Resist the socialists. Resist the cultural Marxists (with their oppressor/oppressed model feverishly fomented by Marx in his Communist Manifesto and parroted by Duke). Every time they say “equity,” you say “equality” twice as loud.

Don’t let them use the blighted, unscientific slander of “unconscious racism” to shoehorn socialism into society. Yes, it’s unscientific. When I asked Duke for the clinical/scientific data used for asserting “racism is a public health crisis,” they had none (Zero) despite earlier claims. They backtracked saying they relied on “social science” data. I have social science data Duke probably doesn’t want to hear. Of course there was no clinical data. It’s not a scientifically provable hypothesis but a failed political ideology.

Duke refused to answer because equity is based wholly on their belief in the unconscious racism of white people- a pretentious, dubious, insulting, and risible pretense for wealth redistribution. Here is the last question for Duke on my departure: Is Duke dedicated to the American proposition that all men are created equal, or to the socialist proposition that all groups should be made equal? You can’t serve two masters.

Peace and Goodwill-

How Gen X Became the Trumpiest Generation

Now, 20 years later, after getting inspired to enter politics by former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, Westrich is a solidly conservative state representative from blue-collar southeast Iowa who is pro-gun and anti-vaccine mandate. It may be an unusual trajectory for someone who played moog synthesizer in a popular alternative rock band, but, given the politics of people in her generation, it actually might not be unusual at all.

Gen Xers, which can be roughly defined as those born between 1965 and 1980, came of age under President Ronald Reagan amid the end of the Cold War. The popular image of Generation X has never quite fit in within any easy political framing. It’s the generation that produced grunge rock and gangsta rap but also reached cultural consciousness at the height of the “greed is good” 1980s memorialized in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. In fact, if there was any popular image of this generation’s politics, it was that they were apolitical. The slackers depicted in Richard Linklater movies or the grunge rockers in flannel were almost devoid of political inclination save a generalized cynicism and MTV’s “Choose or Lose” campaign, which was designed to simply convince young voters that politics matters at all. After their first election in 1984, they bounced back and forth in presidential elections — although exit poll data doesn’t always provide a clear generation breakdown — but were never at all particularly progressive and veered to the right of the nation as a whole.

And there were always hints of a more right-wing inclination culturally even if they may have been camouflaged by the less politically charged atmosphere at the time. The first major political depiction of this cohort was on the sitcom Family Ties, where Reagan-loving teenager Alex P. Keaton clashed with his liberal boomer parents. As Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini put it to Politico, “the MTV generation has always been a little bit more conservative.”

Now, though, there is no confusion: Generation X is safely Republican. One model from 2014 measuring only white voters through the 2012 election shows those born in the mid-to-late 1960s being the most Republican-leaning of all, more so than the older Boomers and Silent generation. In a poll released in late April by Marist/NPR that separated voters by generation, Generation X had the highest level of disapproval for Biden and were the generation most likely to say they would vote for a Republican candidate in the midterms if they were held that day.

While voters have historically tended to be more conservative as they age, that has accelerated with Generation X. In fact, Tom Bonier, the CEO of TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, told me that Generation X has now become the most conservative generation, surpassing the Boomers in their rightward tilt.

WEF/Davos Discriminates Against Women, Blacks, Age…WWII Habits Die Hard

With a healthy dose of the use of the N-Word apparently. It just goes to show that if you give them time, they will eat themselves.

But under Schwab’s decadeslong oversight, the Forum has allowed to fester an atmosphere hostile to women and Black people in its own workplace, according to internal complaints, email exchanges and interviews with dozens of current and former Forum employees and other people familiar with the Forum’s practices.

A few years ago Klaus Schwab, the octogenarian founder of the World Economic Forum, decided the organization needed a youthful makeover.

So he singled out a group of employees over 50 years old and instructed his human-resources chief to get rid of them all, according to people familiar with the matter. This, he explained, would lower the average age of the workforce. The HR chief, a seasoned former World Bank executive named Paolo Gallo, declined, pointing out that there has to be a reasonable explanation for firing somebody, such as poor performance. Not long after, Schwab fired Gallo. 

It wasn’t the only example of Schwab engaging in behavior that would violate standard workplace policies of the Forum’s leading corporate partners. One episode still making the rounds among staffers is the time in 2017 he tapped a young woman to lead an initiative for startups. She had discovered she was pregnant, and during her first few days on the job went into Schwab’s office in Geneva to tell him. 

Schwab grew upset that she wouldn’t be able to continue working at the same pace, people familiar with the incident said, and told her she wasn’t suited for her new leadership role. She was pushed out after what the Forum said was a brief trial period.

At least six female staffers were pushed out or otherwise saw their careers suffer when they were pregnant or returning from maternity leave. Another half dozen described sexual harassment they experienced at the hands of senior managers, some of whom remain at the Forum. Two said they were sexually harassed years ago by VIPs at Forum gatherings, including at Davos, where female staff were expected to be at the delegates’ beck and call. 

In two more recent incidents, employees registered internal complaints after white Forum managers used the N-word around Black employees. Black employees also raised formal complaints to Forum leaders about being passed over for promotions or left out of Davos.

Fire Alarm Bowman Out In Primaries, Squad Now Down A Member

When I was in college, pulling the fire alarms in the dorms at 2 in the morning after a night of drinking was a fun prank.

Jamaal Bowman never grew up I guess. After pulling the alarm to delay a vote, the dumbass didn’t know that he was on tape and couldn’t lie his way out of it in the media.

Let’s hope the voters dump the rest of the squad who seem far more interested in making us socialist than helping the citizens, that part is in their job description.

U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — one of the most far-left representatives in Congress and member of the Progressive Caucus — has lost his primary election to a moderate challenger.

George Latimer, a Westchester County executive, defeated Bowman after a contentious primary race that has widely been viewed as a fight between ideological factions of the Democratic Party. Bowman had aligned himself with the “ceasefire now” movement, which calls for an end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip and accuses Israel of being complicit in genocide.

Millions of dollars poured into the race from both inside and outside the district, making it the most expensive House primary in history. According to an analysis from ad tracking firm AdImpact, more than $25 million was spent overall. Roughly $15 million came from the United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to the powerful pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which backed Latimer.

On Illegals

When working at IBM, I told a Puerto Rican colleague that illegal immigration would hurt the country. He was young and a legal immigrant and didn’t agree. He also didn’t understand Cloward-Piven. I have a relative that held a green card for over 10 years waiting to get citizenship while people invading the border got money, food and a nice place to stay in exchange for votes. I also lived in Miami and got to see the Marielito’s decimate the city.

The guys name at IBM was Mauricio G. and would go on to backstab me as I was protecting him politically. I let it go but it was interesting to see this viewpoint, a non-native citizen trying to make America into another country.

Well Mauricio, just because you don’t understand what made America great, like laws and borders doesn’t mean that facts aren’t true.

The FDA Is a Front Organization That Has Allowed Vaxx Manufacturers to Pillage the World for Decades

(Natural News)—The majority of Americans once trusted their government to tell them the truth about vaccines. However, after the covid-19 scandal of lies, fraud and abuse, more people are questioning the entire vaccine evaluation and regulatory process.

What if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was originally setup as a front group for the pharmaceutical industry, and its legal and scientific processes were fabricated to only benefit specific drug makers?

What if the FDA was intended to be a mafia working on behalf of certain pharmaceutical companies?

What if the agency was nothing more than a false authority that was allotted power because the agency was used to pressure Congress into giving Big Pharma dominance over the people of the United States?

What if the FDA used empty office buildings – no technicians, no equipment, no sampling, no oversight – as an affront of regulatory oversight?

What if testing and regulations for biologics (vaccines) never existed in the first place?

For biologics, the FDA is an affront to the scientific method, a façade of regulatory oversight

A paralegal from Pennsylvania – Katherine Watt – is raising serious questions about the history of the FDA and the NIH. According to Watt, since World War II, the U.S. Congress has been passing legislation that makes it easier for the pharmaceutical industry to destroy people’s lives, using the FDA as a front.

As the lies surrounding the covid-19 scandal continue to be exposed, more people across academia, medicine, government, science and the legal system continue to question the history and the motivations of Big Pharma and the federal government. If widespread medical and scientific malfeasance can be swept under the rug today, what other criminal conspiracies have taken place, with government agencies getting away with fraud and mass murder?

How are government agencies used to protect criminal organizations, and how might regulators be used by Big Pharma mafias to destroy the lives of whistleblowers and truth-tellers? If the head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease can change the definition of gain-of-function research to develop bioweapons offshore, then what other acts have occurred where government officials tortured the language and used legalese to coverup crimes against humanity?

Peer Reviewed Study Reveals 74% Deaths Directly Linked to COVID-19 Shot

A previously censored paper from The Lancet has now undergone peer review and is available online.

The study, titled “A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination,” analyzed 325 autopsy cases and found that a staggering 73.9% of deaths were either directly due to or significantly contributed to by the COVID-19 vaccination.

The paper’s lead author, Dr. Nicolas Hulscher, faced significant opposition in bringing these findings to light. After initially being downloaded over 100,000 times, The Lancet removed the paper within 24 hours, according to Dr. William Makis. 

Methods

We searched PubMed and ScienceDirect for all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination up until May 18th, 2023. All autopsy and necropsy studies that included COVID-19 vaccination as an antecedent exposure were included.

Because the state of knowledge has advanced since the time of the original publications, three physicians independently reviewed each case and adjudicated whether or not COVID-19 vaccination was the direct cause or contributed significantly to death.

Results

We initially identified 678 studies and, after screening for our inclusion criteria, included 44 papers that contained 325 autopsy cases and one necropsy case. The mean age of death was 70.4 years.

The most implicated organ system among cases was the cardiovascular (49%), followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (11%), and multiple organ systems (7%). Three or more organ systems were affected in 21 cases.

The mean time from vaccination to death was 14.3 days. Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration.

A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination, of which the primary causes of death include sudden cardiac death (35%), pulmonary embolism (12.5%), myocardial infarction (12%), VITT (7.9%), myocarditis (7.1%), multisystem inflammatory syndrome (4.6%), and cerebral hemorrhage (3.8%).

Half Of EV Owners Want To Switch Back To Standard Cars

More sheep have woken up I suppose. There is no good reason or argument for them in their current configuration. They are expensive, hard to charge (compared to an ICE), cost more to insure and are limited in range. I’m not going to get into the socialistic forks in the road like the government kill switch because it just isn’t a very good product yet. There isn’t enough electricity for what they have planned along with AI and all of the restrictions on energy sources

Most buyers thought they were helping the environment or being progressive or tech savvy. I’ve got news for you. This isn’t the answer you were looking for, just money thrown away to feel or look good.

So now we have buyers remorse.

My wife’s nephew in Europe is a big show off with these. For being an engineer, he hasn’t thought this one through, but I’ll always think of him as a jag off. It’s easy to be smart when the pool of people in your country is only 5 million, but then he didn’t think through that either.

Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm.

Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey’s study, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The study’s findings further suggest that the Biden administration’s EV push is struggling to land with American consumers, after 46% of respondents indicated that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute.

Moreover, 58% of Americans are very likely to keep their current cars for longer, and 44% are likely to postpone a possible switch to EVs, McKinsey’s study found. Consumers’ concerns about EV charging infrastructure are notable given the slow rollout of the Biden administration’s $7.5 billion public EV charger program, which has so far led to the construction of only a handful of chargers in nearly three years.

#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly, Friday Edition

Racism is racism, you just have to discriminate against color. The problem is that Caitlin Clark is white in a black sport. They are hacking Caitlin Clark on the floor and then trashing her in social media while leaving her off of the Olympic Team.

What these bitches don’t realize is that Clark could have them flying on private jets soon. She is their ticket big fortune if they’d let her. She’s brought fame and notoriety to a league that no one cared about before her. Instead, they are catty back stabbers who can’t take that she is getting the fame and not them, and white.

They should ride her coat tails to every perk they can get instead of trying to take her down, dumbasses.

Here we go….

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues to cement her marquee status despite being the target of race-hustling trash talk and flagrant fouls.

On Sunday, the rookie sensation helped the WNBA score its biggest TV audience in 23 years, as a whopping 2.25 million viewers tuned in to watch the Fever defeat the Chicago Sky, CBS Sports announced.

That’s a 225 percent increase in viewership from the same time last year.

“The Caitlin Clark-led Fever have now played in each of the five most-watched WNBA games since 2002, with two of those five matchups coming against Chicago,” Sports Media Watch reported.

The WNBA announced that in May, it had its highest-attended opening in 26 years and its most-watched season opener ever across all networks that aired its games.

The league also boasted that it had set records for merchandise sales, social media engagement, app downloads and league pass subscriptions — with triple-digit spikes across all categories.

More than half of all WNBA games last month were sellouts — an astonishing 156 percent increase from last year, the league said.

Paper: Not one government policy during the COVID epidemic accomplished anything to stop the disease’s spread

In reviewing the many different government actions taken during the COVID epidemic aimed at slowing the spread of the virus, scientists have found that none of these policies accomplished anything.

No matter how we approached these questions, the primary finding was lack of definitive patterns that could support claims about governmental policy impacts. About half the time, government policies were followed by better Covid-19 outcomes, and half of the time they were not. The findings were sometimes contradictory, with some policies appearing helpful when tested one way, and the same policy appearing harmful when tested another way. No claims about the relationship between government responses and pandemic outcomes held generally. Looking at stay-at-home policies and school closures, about half the time it looked like Covid-19 outcomes improved after their imposition, and half the time they got worse. Every policy, Covid-19 outcome, time period, and modeling approach yielded a similar level of uncertainty: about half the time it looked like things got better, and half the time like things got worse.

…Yet scientists used these data to make definitive conclusions.

Claims that government responses made Covid-19 worse are not broadly true, and the same goes for claims that government responses were useless or ineffective. Claims that government responses help reduce the burden of Covid-19 are also not true. What is true is that there is no strong evidence to support claims about the impacts of the policies, one way or the other.


The bottom line — which has been obvious from day one of the panic — is that any claims of certain knowledge and success by any government official was a lie. This was especially true — and noted here and in numerous conservative news sites repeatedly — when government agencies like the CDC would willy-nilly change its guidelines even though there had been no additional published research justifying those changes.

The best example was the CDC’s guidelines on masks. For decades health agencies clearly stated, based on actual research going back almost a century, that masks were not only useless but a risk for those with heart and lung conditions. Suddenly, with no further data, the guidelines were changed and masks were the best thing since sliced bread.

Similarly the guidelines on social distancing would change over and over again, even though there was literally no data to support that measure, and continues to be none (as now admitted by Anthony Fauci this week when pressed during congressional hearings). In fact, no research was ever done, and it appears the idea of social distancing actually came from a high school science fair project that the entire edifice of government petty dictators glommed onto in glee.

All of this raises a more fundamental question: Why do so many people so quickly accept government claims, on anything? And why do so many people continue to assume these same dishonest government officials can fix any problem?

Government officials generally know little about anything, other than how to tell others what to do. Such people are the last people we should ask for advice.

Black Panther Founder Supports Trump

David Hilliard, 82, a founding member of the Black Panthers, is openly supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Hilliard wasn’t shy about his enthusiasm for Trump, which he revealed during an interview with writer Carol Mitchell. “I knew Trump when Trump was a college student in New York and he supported the Black Panther Party,” Hilliard recalled. 

He was just getting started on his praise for Trump. “Trump is a person who’s a decent man, and he supported the Black Panther Party,” Hilliard quipped. “He was someone who gave us money.”

“Trump’s a friend of African Americans, and I knew Trump from the 1960s in New York, where he comes from, and he’s a friend to African Americans,” Hilliard continued. “I mean, he’s not a racist. He’s not a racist, fascist, white man. He supported Black people.”

#BWBB Black Women Behaving Badly

What’s happening with black women in America? Some are rising to power thanks to the DEI movement, which rewards skin color, gender, and sexual preference over merit, experience, or excellence. However, the problem arises once those women who are not qualified are placed in positions of power and leadership, where they often quickly crash and burn. From embezzling $15 million in COVID funds to engaging in shameless plagiarism, these meritless women have demonstrated that they are not up to the task and struggle with the responsibilities they’ve been given. Naturally, they revert to what they know best: lying, cheating, and stealing. The whole situation is unfair to those black women in this country who succeed based on merit, honesty, and hard work to be lumped in with the large mass of meritless DEI incompetents.

“Black women behaving badly” has become a national pastime that can no longer be ignored. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most infamous cases of black women in leadership roles behaving badly.

How Did I Want To Retire? Early

How do you want to retire?

I knew in my 30s that I wanted to retire early. I enjoyed my work, but it was getting in the way of my life. I had stuff to do I still do.

So I had to prepare and live my life accordingly by these principles. Now I’m the king of retirement. I love waking up, knowing I don’t have meetings, email, texts, presentations or travel for business. Everything is paid off, and I can enjoy life more.

My mom told me she taught each of her kids financial independence, saving and spending. The rest of them are broke or died broke.

I respect people who love to work. I had a lot of other things to do in life also. I’m taking care of that now.

Homie Don’t Play Chips And Shit – DEI Ruins Construction Of EV Charging Stations

Liberals always eat their own.

What is the reason for the discrepancy between the ambitious goal and the disastrous reality? The Washington Free Beacon obtained internal memos from the Department of Transportation and interviewed those responsible for overseeing the project’s implementation to find out.

It turns out that the administration’s own “Diversity—Equity—Inclusion” initiatives are stalling EV Charging Station construction.

Shortly after taking office, the president signed an executive order mandating that the beneficiaries of 40 percent of all federal climate and environmental programs should come from “underserved communities.” The order also established the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, which monitors agencies such as the Department of Transportation to ensure the “voices, perspectives, and lived realities of communities with environmental justice concerns are heard in the White House and reflected in federal policies, investments, and decisions.”

In order to qualify for a grant, applicants must “demonstrate how meaningful public involvement, inclusive of disadvantaged communities, will occur throughout a project’s life cycle.” What “public involvement” means is unclear. But the Department of Transportation notes it should involve “intentional outreach to underserved communities.”

That outreach, the Department of Transportation states, can take the form of “games and contests,” “visual preference surveys,” or “neighborhood block parties” so long as the grant recipient provides “multilingual staff or interpreters to interact with community members who use languages other than English.”

“This all just slows down construction,” says Jim Meigs, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who focuses on federal regulation.

The DEI mandates are also hindering the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act, a bipartisan measure designed to enhance U.S. semiconductor supply chains and support private-sector investment in domestic research and manufacturing.

“One Of The Most Disappointing ‘Star Wars’ Episodes Ever Made.” Or….. This Is Why You Fail: Makers of ‘The Acolyte’ Brag About Creating ‘The Gayest Star Wars Yet’

It’s overused, but so applicable that it matters. Here’s another get woke, go broke. Just look at who’s in charge below and you can see it isn’t the people who thought up A New Hope or The Empire Strikes Back.

Back when Star Wars was a franchise people cared about, one of the most beloved characters in the movies and shows was everyone’s favorite 900-year-old Jedi master, Yoda. That’s quite an accomplishment for a small green muppet, who somehow became an icon of the galaxy far, far away. 

Yoda is known for the nuggets of wisdom he would impart — in backward English — to his pupils. One of his most famous quotes is what he said to Luke Skywalker to warn him against the temptations of the dark side of the Force, of seeking quick power and strength, as opposed to learning the Jedi way of discipline, patience, and tradition: 

‘Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.’

After listening to the producer and one of the actors in Star Wars’ latest installment in a franchise that has turned itself into a joke and a dumpster fire, it’s clear that no one at Disney ever bothered to pay attention to Yoda. Watch:

We now know the exact ‘types’ who easily fall for ‘wokeism’…

Well, it looks like Jordan Peterson has finally cracked the code on “wokeness.” Based on his research, we now have insight into the type of person who easily succumbs to this twisted and warped way of thinking.

The truth is, leftist tactics are pretty slick—they love to play word games. They throw around phrases like “Across state lines,” “My Body, My Choice,” and “No Human is Illegal” that all sound really good but are just verbal tricks designed to pull the wool over your eyes. These clever catchphrases easily snag folks who don’t dig deeper into what they’re actually hearing. See, the richer and more vast your vocabulary, the better you can sort through smokescreens and propaganda and recognize when words are being twisted to fool you. For example, slogans like “silence is violence” and “words are violence” try to stretch the meaning of actual “violence” to include just about anything, including what you say or don’t say. But here’s the thing: folks who really get the true meaning of words won’t fall for this trick. They know violence involves physical force, not just speaking up or keeping quiet. So, these catchphrases, which try to make everyday actions seem dangerous, just don’t stick with people who understand how language is being manipulated. But many do fall for it, and that’s why this obsession with reshaping language to suit their agenda is a common strategy on the left.

Wokeness breaks everything down into simple terms of good or bad—blacks = good, whites = bad; men = bad, women = good; and anything like patriarchy or racism = super duper bad. This simplicity only works for people who lack verbal smarts. These low-IQ, often criminal-minded people can only understand simple slogans and mental models, and the communist left is all too happy to supply them.

This leads to two additional problems. First, there’s confirmation bias, which is living in your own personal echo chamber. It means you ignore any facts or opinions that challenge your beliefs and only pay attention to those that support what you already think. Second, there’s a kind of fear, or cowardice, involved. It’s the fear of facing anything that might truly challenge or threaten your views. So, instead of confronting or considering different perspectives, people shut down and stick to their comfort zones.

Another trick the left uses to control the story is by throwing together confusing word salads. Take the gender confusion debate—it’s just a tangled mess of words that skirts around actual science and refuses to take any real responsibility. A person of modest intelligence simply doesn’t have the brainpower to discern that these word salads have no real meaning; they are easily bamboozled. The left-wing thought leaders are word artists who spin their words in the worst possible way, which ultimately hampers the ability of many of the simpler leftists to think clearly and critically.

The End Of A Dynasty, Joey Chestnut Is Out Of The 4th Of July Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Joey Chestnut, the famed champion of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Competition, is stirring controversy this year after opting out of the annual event due to a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods, a plant-based hot dog brand, according to sources revealed exclusively by The Post.

The California-native Chestnut has dominated the Nathan’s competition, securing victory 16 times, with a world record 76 hot dogs devoured in 2021 and holding onto his title with 62 consumed last year.

It’s kind of lame that he went with vegan wieners. Those things are about the only thing less healthy than a hot dog.

That’s 70 uneaten wieners this 4th. Fortunately, it was made up by Kamala who is renowned for downing wieners.

Google Hates American Hero’s, Celebrate Lesbians Instead

What ever happened to do no evil? Now you can count on Google being on the morally wrong side of everything.

Instead of acknowledging, celebrating and honoring an estimated 160,000 soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy, the far-left Google decided to celebrate a female writer who became popular only because leftist elites pushed her works, which were about her lesbian relationships. 

Google spent the 80th anniversary of D-Day “Celebrating Jeanne Córdova” by inserting a cartoon image of the lesbian author and activist on the main page of the leftist search engine that hides explicitly conservative websites from people’s results, the Gateway Pundit reported.

“Apparently, screaming loudly about one’s sexual desires is as brave or braver than exiting the ramp of a Higgins Boat and meeting the MG 42 and its 1,500-rounds-per-minute firing rate,” the news source noted.

Clinton used this historical milestone to emphasize the importance of voting in the context of protecting democracy. She equated the efforts of those who voted against Trump to the actions of the soldiers who participated in the Normandy landings, a pivotal event in World War II.

Irony: Paris “Green” Olympics Spoiled Because Athletes Want To Be Comfortable

I find this hilarious that the green washing of everything gets exposed for it’s triviality compared to creature comforts. If it was real, they’d actually do something effective.

More than three thousand Olympians are expected to bring portable air-conditioning units to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris this summer, derailing France’s efforts to go green by not providing AC in the Athletes’ Village, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The International Olympic Committee’s decision to substitute air-conditioning for a less reliable but more environmentally friendly geothermal cooling system is central to their strategy to cut the carbon footprint of the Paris Games by half, Reuters reported. However, many visiting nations, concerned lack of AC will result in reduced sleep and poor athletic performance, are opting to import portable AC units, according to the Washington Post.

This Is Not Going To Turn Out Well

Police in Cambridge, MA, will begin using social workers to respond to some 911 calls instead of actual cops. This is an idea that has been pushed by some on the left since ‘defunding the police’ became a thing. What could possibly go wrong?

Critics of this type of policy have pointed out that even when police are responding to a seemingly routine 911 call, they never know what they’re walking into. Someone at the scene could be armed, psychotic, or worse. the team will soon have a more high-stakes task: responding to 911 calls, sent to the scenes of nonviolent, mental health-related incidents handled at present by cops with guns.

It figures that the most liberal want to try this. Wait until they meet a drunk with a gun and a cheating wife. Good luck there.

The Baby Names That Are Dying

A foul fall from grace, the run-of-the-mill monikers were the bees knees during the Baby Boomer generation, between 1946 and 1964, per a 2024 report via baby-naming experts at Namesberry. 

A June 2024 analysis from online parenting hub, BabyCenter found that ultramodern mommies and daddies are crowning their kiddies with names from hit feature films and streaming series such as “Dune: Part Two,” and “Bridgerton.”  

Classic titles like Liam and Olivia have, too, maintained their high-rank in the baby name realm. In 2023, both topped the list of most popular boy and girl tags in the U.S. for the fifth year in a row, per recent data from the Social Security Administration. 

However, names facing annihilation were nowhere near the number one spots.

How Bob Iger, DEI, and Wokism Broke Disney’s Trust with America

I grew up in Orlando, before Disney and while they built it. My friends in high school all worked there. It used to be for the family and wholesome fun. It’s now for woke, racists, feminists, trannies, homosexuals, pagans….so pretty much everything except straight white people.

Putting ideology ahead of entertainment has decimated an American institution. Walt Disney has been spinning in his grave ever since Bob Iger first became CEO back in 2005 during his first term. It continued during the short reign of Bob Chapek from 2020 to 2021, then accelerated at warp speed after Iger returned to the CEO role in 2022, post-COVID. The Walt Disney Company is broken, and until it gets new leadership at the top and refocuses on its core mission, to entertain, it is headed in only one direction: down. And that’s a shame for baby boomers like me who grew up with Walt Disney when our parents could trust the company to deliver wholesome entertainment not tainted by an agenda or ideology.

There is something of a subculture on YouTube of armchair analysts and commentators, WDW Pro, Valliant Renegade, and ClownfishTV, to name just three (beyond traditional financial websites like CNBC and Seeking Alpha), who track every cultural, corporate, programming, and financial move of The Walt Disney Company, previously one of America’s most iconic and trusted companies. Note: I used the past tense in describing The Walt Disney Company. It is no longer one of America’s most trusted brands, and it’s about to lose its iconic status.

2024 And They Still Discriminate Against The Un-Jabbed

North Carolina is trying to pass a law not to refuse life saving treatments because they haven’t taken the Covid-19 jab. A little late for this, don’t you think? I would expect this out of California, Oregon or the North East, but in flyover country?

Under the legislation, which is officially known as HB 586 in the House and SB 644 in the Senate, hospitals and transplant centers in North Carolina would be barred from denying life-saving transplants to patients based on their COVID “vaccination” status.

The bill is named for an unjabbed teenage girl named Yulia, who was adopted from Ukraine as an orphan by a U.S. Army family. Amid the COVID “pandemic” and the push for mRNA jab mandates, Yulia suffered kidney failure due to a genetic condition and was in life-or-death need of a kidney transplant.

She spent well over a year on dialysis, fighting for her life, but still, she was denied medical treatment by North Carolina’s Duke University Hospital, because she had not been “vaccinated” against COVID, even though taking the “vaccine,” which ranks as the deadliest in human history, could have put her life at an even greater risk.

Duke’s refusal to operate on Yulia nearly killed her, and it forced her family to absorb the massive medical and travel costs associated with seeking treatment elsewhere.

Twelve Reasons Why I Don’t Believe There’s a Climate Emergency

  1. Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this?
  2. I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just 3% of CO2; Britain is responsible for just 1% of the world’s CO2 output – and I think “really“? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate?
  3. I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good or vital thing; that many other things, like the Sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature.
  4. I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia? And I also note the crossover between green activists and BLM ones, gender ones, pro-Hamas ones, none of whom I like or agree with.
  5. As an amateur psychologist, I know that humans are susceptible to manias. I also know that humans tend to focus on tiny slivers of time and on tiny slivers of geographical place when forming ideas and opinions. We are also extremely malleable and easily fooled, as was demonstrated in 2020 and 2021.
  6. I have looked into the implications of Net Zero. It is incredibly expensive. It will vastly reduce living standards and hinder economic growth. I don’t think that’s a good thing. I know that economic growth has led to higher living standards, which has made people both safer and more environmentally aware.
  7. Net Zero will also lead to significant diminishment of personal freedom, and it even threatens democracy, as people are told they must do certain things and they must not do other things, and they may even be restricted in speaking out on climate matters.
  8. What will be the worst things that will happen if the doomsayers are correct? A rise in temperature? Where? Siberia? Singapore? Stockholm? What is the ideal temperature? For how long? Will this utopia be forever maintained? I’m suspicious of utopias; the communists sought utopias.
  9. If one consequence of climate change is rising sea levels, would it not be better to spend money building more sea defences to protect our land? Like the Dutch did.
  10. It’s a narrative heavily pushed by the Guardian. I dislike the Guardian. I believe it’s been wrong on most issues through my life – socialism, immigration, race, the EU, gender, lockdowns and so on. Probably it’s wrong about climate issues too?
  11. I am suspicious of the amount of money that green activists and subsidised green industries make. And 40 years ago the greenies were saying the Earth was going to get too cold. Much of what they said would happen by now has not happened. Also, I trust ‘experts’ much less now, after they lied about the efficacy of lockdowns, masks and the ‘vaccines’.
  12. I like sunshine. I prefer being warm to being cold. It makes me feel better. It’s more fun. It saves on heating bills. It saves on clothes. It makes people happier. Far few people die of the heat than they do the cold.

He Should Have Studied Math Or Finance

I’ve read that most of the athletes declare bankruptcy within 4-5 years despite the millions. An average NFL career is 5 years or less

Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy. According to the Times Union, Brown owes nearly $3 million to eight different creditors as stated by paperwork filed on May 15 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. He reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which involves the court-supervised reorganization of a debtor’s assets and liabilities. 

Brown made over $88 million as a player, but he currently claims he has less than $50,000 in assets.

That amount includes a $1.2 million court judgment to Anton Tumanov —  a moving-truck driver who sued Brown for assault and battery during an altercation in 2020. It also includes money owed on a credit card, a marketing firm and a law firm, among other debts.

Brown’s own media company, CTESPN Network confirmed the bankruptcy filing via social media earlier this week. 

“NFL legend Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy today,” the post read. “He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2027. He will be releasing new music this summer. He is also the founder of the most trusted source in all of sports.

CDC Finally Coming Clean About Covid Jab Side Effects

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there were “significant” side effects that made people sick.

Dr. Redfield made the remarks in a May 16 interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, during which he lamented the loss of public confidence in public health agencies because of a lack of transparency around the vaccines, which he said “saved a lot of lives” but also made some people “quite ill.”

“Those of us that tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines … we kind of got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines, because they were afraid that that would cause people not to want to get vaccinated,” Dr. Redfield said.

In his role as head of the CDC, Dr. Redfield was part of the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed, a project to surge COVID-19 vaccine development at a time during the pandemic when little was known about the virus and rapid vaccine rollout was widely seen as key to getting the outbreak under control and lockdowns lifted.

In September 2020, a few months before the first COVID-19 vaccines were given in the United States, Dr. Redfield testified before the Senate that COVID-19 represented the “most significant public health challenge to face our nation in more than a century,” and that the prevailing view among scientists at the time was that the overall case fatality rate of the disease was somewhere between 0.4 and 0.6 percent in the United States.

Jewish Students Blame DEI For The Protests

Jewish Students Blame DEI for Anti-Israel Protests That are Wasting Tuition Dollars

This is correct. DEI policies have created the environment for this madness to grow.

FOX News reports:

Jewish students across the US blame DEI, faculty for anti-Israel protests: ‘Wasting my tuition dollars’

Jewish students across the United States have expressed concern for their safety and suggested school faculty, as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, are promoting antisemitic viewpoints that ratchet up the political temperature on campus.

George Washington University student Sabrina Soffer, graduating early as a junior in December, told Fox News Digital that there is no balance of opinions among the faculty. While the school has emphasized diversity, Soffer claimed it is only diversity surrounding a singular idea.

“Students are not learning how to think, but they’re learning about what to think,” she said. “There’s no real academic rigor that surrounds learning how to think. So, they’re just getting pushed to get a grade.”

Soffer said that students spend a significant amount of time being fed “propaganda” on social media, which affirms the notions they are learning in class and keeps them isolated in their own “echo chamber.”

She added that this conduct by faculty and students, in addition to the widespread acceptance of DEI, has turned George Washington into a “concerning” and “dangerous” environment.

“There’s also no respect for American values in terms of, you know, there’s a lot of anti-Western seedlings in the DEI idea as a whole. Binary notions, very false notion of the oppressor and the oppressed, where all White people are oppressors,” Soffer said. “And, you know, Jews just don’t fit into that framework at all. So, they’re pinning, you know, false binary notions on entire societies when they don’t even make any sense.”

Amanda Silberstein, a second-year student at Cornell University, also criticized the actions of faculty and said the ongoing sentiments about Israel and Jews have left her “ostracized and “socially isolated” from classmates.

I imagine a lot of those Jewish families come from a lot of money. Never forget that DEI ruins everything it touches, as does woke. They got the double dose with this anti-antisemitism hate for Israel.

In The Climate Shell Game Money Grab, But For $13 Trillion

The audacity of this guy is endless. They are pretty much saying they are going to waste the cash and solve nothing other than lining their pockets with taxpayers money.

Squeezing the global economy dry to solve a fake problem.

The $13.6 trillion question: how do we pay for the green transition?

The public sector will have to provide about 30 per cent of climate finance globally, and the heat is building on governments to come up with ways of doing that.

…

The bill will be immense. If average global temperature rises are to be limited in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, climate finance globally will need to increase to about $US9 trillion ($13.6 trillion) a year globally by 2030, up from just under $US1.3 trillion in 2021-22, according to a report last year from the Climate Policy Initiative.

…

Former US presidential candidate John Kerry, who stepped down from his role as the US special climate envoy in March, puts the challenge of meeting this bluntly: “We don’t have the money.”

The 80-year-old is now planning to turn his attention to climate finance to prepare for the phaseout of fossil fuels. “We have to put in place more rapidly the funding mechanisms that are going to actually fuel this transition at the pace it needs to be,” he says.

To do that, governments around the world are weighing up options from wealth taxes to levies on shipping. The US is planning to fund the IRA by raising $US300 billion over the decade by requiring large corporations to pay a 15 per cent minimum tax on their profits, as well as through a stock buyback tax, among other measures.

There It Is – Employers more skeptical of hiring Ivy League grads

It specifically says Ivy League schools. It also says that they are more likely to hire from public Universities.

So all of that money gone to waste. An Ivy League degree was a virtual hall pass to a job. They managed to screw that up by being assholes and Jew Haters. Compound that with DEI and you get a toxic graduate.

Those of us in the working world knew that the Ivy Leaguers were losers and not that smart. We had to work around them, but now they will have a hard time getting a foot in the door.

Results follow reports of grade inflation, plagiarism, antisemitism, and more

An Ivy League diploma is losing its worth in many employers’ eyes.

A recent Forbes survey found employers have grown more skeptical of applicants from the most prestigious schools in the U.S. in the past five years – a period marked by race-based admissions, grade inflation, antisemitism, plagiarism, and leadership “double standards.”

According to the survey, one in three employers said they are less likely to hire an Ivy League graduate than they were five years ago. Meanwhile, only 7 percent said they were more likely to hire them.

Employers’ hesitation was specific to the Ivy Leagues, too.

The survey found 42 percent of hiring managers are more likely to hire public university graduates and 37 percent private university graduates, compared to five years ago.

What’s more, hiring managers were three times as likely to say public universities have improved in preparing students for jobs than Ivy League universities.

The Insane Flip-Flops Over Vaccines, Masks And Ivermectin

This week AstraZeneca recalled its COVID-19 vaccine after admitting that it caused a ‘rare but serious’ clotting.

Then we find that former CNN host Chris Cuomo has been taking Ivermectin, after mocking people for taking ‘dewoming medication,’ leading one to wonder how many dead Americans were dissuaded from taking it during the pandemic.

And in the fullness of time, we’ve learned that vaccine maker Moderna employed a former FBI analyst to secretly police ‘vaccine misinformation,’ while the Biden White House directed virtually every social media platform to censor those questioning vaccinations. Hell, the NY Times suggested ZeroHedge was spreading misinformation for suggesting, in December of 2020, that vaccine cards would be used to track people and limit their freedom.

And now people like former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) are playing the whole thing off like he wasn’t a complete iron-fisted authoritarian during the pandemic – suggesting that masks were optional.

Or Deborah Birx, who admitted she and Dr. Anthony Fauci pulled all sorts of pandemic-era lockdown protocols out of their asses, and has now remade herself into some sort of vaccine freedom advocate.

Forbes, Harvard Celebrate February 2, 2023

Looking back at what their graduates have achieved.

The Super Bowl will kick off a new marketing era for Bud Light, and a woman is at the helm for this new direction.

Alissa Heinerscheid, vice president of marketing for Bud Light, is the first woman to ever lead the popular brand.

“As the first woman to lead the biggest beer brand in the world, it’s an amazing opportunity to really evolve and elevate Bud Light, this brand I love,” says Heinerscheid.

The Bud Light commercial, which will air during the Super Bowl, features actor Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh, and it’s called “Hold,” as Keleigh is facing a situation people everywhere do – being on hold on the phone.

Cornell: Another Woke Leader Bites The Dust

Cornell President Martha Pollack Resigning

“Martha Pollack was the architect of Cornell’s disastrous race-focused DEI initiative that balkanized the campus, and inevitably led to targeting of Jewish and pro-Israel students. While I wish her well in her personal life, it is time for the Cornell Trustees to turn the ship around, to eliminate DEI programming as is taking place elsewhere, and to refocus the campus on the inherent dignity of each individual without regard to group-identity.”

… The campus has become balkanized by an aggressive focus on racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and other identities through an “anti-racist” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” agenda imposed on the campus by the senior administration. The “anti-racism” initiative was launched in the summer of 2020, and has included or is moving towards mandatory training, education, and programming that forces everyone to view their lives and relationships through their identities.

Almost everything now is viewed through an identity lens, pitting groups against each other, pitting colleagues against one another, and pitting students against their peers. There is substantial evidence that such DEI programming makes race and other relations worse, not better. We are seeing that play out in real time in the Cornell community.

This has led to an unhealthy environment at Cornell in which multiple surveys show that high percentages of students are afraid to express their viewpoints. DEI as practiced at Cornell is damaging to freedom of expression, and makes the current year of free expression theme on campus inconsequential, if not nearly satirical.

FAFO again, woke and DEI ruin everything it touches.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Oops: First Neuralink Brain Implant in Human Malfunctions

The first human to receive a Neuralink implant experienced a malfunction when several threads designed to record neural activity retracted from the brain, as revealed by the Elon Musk-owned startup. The incident occurred in the weeks following the surgery in late January that implanted the Neuralink hardware in 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh, a quadriplegic.

As a result of the retraction, the number of effective electrodes was reduced, which in turn limited Arbaugh’s ability to control a computer cursor with his brain. In response, Neuralink modified the recording algorithm to be more sensitive to neural population signals, improved the techniques to translate these signals into cursor movements, and enhanced the user interface.
