They Are Scrubbing the Internet Right Now
Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream social media has been more ferocious in recent months than ever before. Podcasters know for sure what will be instantly deleted and debate among themselves over content in gray areas. Some like Brownstone have given up on YouTube in favor of Rumble, sacrificing vast audiences if only to see their content survive to see the light of day.
It’s not always about being censored or not. Today’s algorithms include a range of tools that affect searchability and findability. For example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump racked up an astonishing 34 million views before YouTube and Google tweaked their search engines to make it hard to discover, while even presiding over a technical malfunction that disabled viewing for many people. Faced with this, Rogan went to the platform X to post all three hours.
Navigating this thicket of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the business model of alternative media.
Those are just the headline cases. Beneath the headlines, there are technical events taking place that are fundamentally affecting the ability of any historian even to look back and tell what is happening. Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.
As of this writing, we have no way to verify content that has been posted for three weeks of October leading to the days of the most contentious and consequential election of our lifetimes. Crucially, this is not about partisanship or ideological discrimination. No websites on the Internet are being archived in ways that are available to users. In effect, the whole memory of our main information system is just a big black hole right now.
Maybe they can scrub stuff like my Facebook and Twitter accounts I canceled years ago. I posted some stupid stuff there.

Problem-riddled Boeing axes entire diversity division
More Woke and DEI failure. How many planes are suspect though because of this going on for the last few years. It’s not like you can pull over on the side of the road. It’s why I don’t want to get on another Boeing plane.
Top airline manufacturer Boeing dissolved its global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) division amid significant financial losses, union strikes and scrutiny over safety and production issues, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
The reorganization, which reassigned its DEI staff to Boeing’s employee experience division, reflects CEO Kelly Ortberg’s focus on consolidating operations as the company grapples with a number of problems, according to Bloomberg.
Sara Liang Bowen, who previously helmed Boeing’s DEI department, announced her departure on Thursday, Bloomberg reported. In a LinkedIn post, Bowen expressed pride in her team’s work, acknowledging both its challenges and accomplishments.
Things Just Got Worse For Boeing https://t.co/pItBO7SKEk
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 9, 2024
“The team achieved so much — sometimes imperfectly, never easily — and dreamed of doing much more still,” Bowen wrote in a farewell post on LinkedIn.
Critics argue such policies encourage discrimination by favoring certain demographics, and this scrutiny is part of a larger trend, with activists targeting corporations and calling for a shift away from DEI priorities, the outlet stated.
It figures it would fail when I saw the name of the head of DEI

Trannies Have Stolen 900 Medals From Real Women In Female Sports
Hey, if you can’t win against men, pretend you are a girl and kick the shit out of a bunch of competitors physiologically inferior to you.
Led by the work of the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the transgender ideology has exploded in recent years.
A decade ago the issue hardly was known: Now is engulfs nightly newscasts and online publications.
It’s an ideological battle that pits a small minority of individuals with gender dysphoria against the majority of the population.
But now there’s new documentation of the huge impact of men, or boys, competing in events created for women or girls.
And “winning.”
It is in a report from CBN News that the details are available.
It cited statistics from the United Nations showing that males have won nearly 900 medals when they compete against women or girls.
The report is called “Violence Against Woman and Girls in Sports” and reveals more than 600 female athletes missed medaling 890 times, because boys or men finished ahead of them.

The Lingerie Revolution
After she had been mistreated by police for not wearing her veil properly, a young Iranian woman protested by stripping down to her small clothes and walking around in public. She was immediately apprehended by the morality police and hauled off to durance vile.
And in Iran, the durance is guaranteed to be horrifically vile, especially for women. This particular young lady has proved that she is “uncovered meat”, so whether she is consigned to a regular prison or a loony bin, she is certain to be subjected to the amorous attentions of sweaty bearded men in black turbans, over and over again.

Biden-Harris Admin Licenses ‘DNA Vaccines’ in the U.S Food Supply
Great, Just freaking great. Some of us made a huge effort to not get jabbed to avoid the mRNA poison and now they are putting it in our food.
The Biden-Harris administration has begun licensing the use of “DNA vaccines” in the United States food supply, according to reports.
The bombshell was revealed by Ohio attorney Tom Renz.
Renz exposed the Biden-Harris admin’s United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for licensing the use of deadly DNA vaccines in food.
The USDA had previously given the green light for salmon to be vaccinated with the latest mRNA chemicals.
However, this latest scheme raises far greater concerns.
By licensing DNA vaccines, the USDA is allowing even more questionable pharmaceutical chemicals to be administered to animals that people consume as food.
Renz highlighted a video that shows how fish destined for the food supply are vaccinated.

Court-Ordered Pfizer Documents They Tried To Have Sealed For 55 years Show 1223 Deaths, 158,000 Adverse Events in 90 Days Post EUA Release
Yes, they committed murder.
I processed the relentless violence as some kind of possibility that I had missed something. I don’t anymore. Everybody who has failed to oppose this is complicit in mass murder. There are not “two sides.” Pfizer itself can explain exactly why all the people dropping dead have died, but they felt it should be hidden for 55 years, so they could continue to murder and maim without interference. The mass media is the engine of the catastrophe, the sine qua non.
Most smoking guns are not really smoking guns, but this one is.
A group called “Public Health and Medical Professionals For Transparency Documents” sued the FDA for the release of Pfizer’s documents concerning adverse events from their Covid “vaccine”, which Pfizer fought to have concealed 55 years, but a courageous judge ordered them released anyway.
They wrote on their website:
”Four days after the Pfizer vaccine was approved for ages 16+, we submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request to the FDA for all of the data within Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine biological product file. We have now sued the FDA for not releasing the data. Click below for court documents and for productions of Pfizer’s documents from the FDA.”
Link: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf
My God.
In the 90 days following EUA release of the “vaccine” they recorded 1223 deaths, and 158,000 adverse reactions, including fetal deaths, spontaneous abortions and more. They call this, in their encrypted, trans-human Pharma-lingo, the “post marketing experience.” [See link above]
Whose experience? Pfizer’s, or the dead?
I failed to catch on to this when it was released a few days ago, for which I apologize. Mark Crispin Miller sent it out today and I realized I’d missed something incredibly important. I opened the document and began to read, as my mind short-circuited. One thinks one has seen it all, but no.
I’d heard Alex Jones apoplectically reporting on it this week but for some reason, I still didn’t drop what I was doing and go to it. Mike Adams reported comprehensively on it here.

Election Memes – Election Day Tomorrow
Half Of The States In The Country Filed Lawsuits Over Non-Citizen Voters
A total of 25 states have now joined the fight to preserve election integrity after the Biden-Harris administration filed a lawsuit to prevent states from removing non-citizen voters from their rolls.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced yesterday in a tweet on X that he had filed a brief to halt the administration’s efforts to stop states from removing voters whose U.S. citizenship cannot be proven.
Just two weeks ago, the Biden administration sued Virginia and Alabama for their efforts to purge “non-citizens” from their voting rolls, saying that the action violated the National Voter Registration Act Quiet Period Provision that requires states to curtail all such actions 90 days prior to an election.
The government’s legal complaint against Virginia states:
“Only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in U.S. federal elections. That fact is not in dispute, and there is no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting in the United States. But that is not what this case is about.”
Democratic assurances that non-citizens cannot legally vote or even register to vote are not tempering growing concern over why the Biden-Harris administration seems intent on keeping ineligible voters, including those who are not citizens or the deceased, on the voting rolls.
The Washington Stand has reported that independent reviews of state voter rolls have confirmed tens of thousands of non-citizens have registered to vote and many of those individuals have admitted that they’ve illegally voted in U.S. elections.
There have also been increasing instances of illegals admitting that they have been encouraged to register to vote.
How can this even be allowed to happen? Does anyone know or remember the Constitution?

Because Border Not Secure, Drug Crisis Kills 75,000 Americans
Because we don’t have secure borders, the biggest cause of death for a large swath of Americans is Fentanyl from China that gets processed in Mexico and comes across to the US.
It’s not so much the people flooding across the southern border affecting Arizonans, as what some of the illegal immigrants carry with them.
Illegal aliens don’t stay in the state, according to Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Lamb. Instead, they travel to “California, Massachusetts, New York, Chicago, Iowa, Alabama,” he says, adding, “But what we are feeling is, just like every state and every American family, we’re feeling the effects of fentanyl.”
Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
“I don’t want to take away from 9/11, but I want to put it into perspective,” Lamb says. “On 9/11 we lost, I think, about 3,600 American lives that day … and we went to war for 20 years for that.”
An estimated 74,702 people died from fentanyl poisoning in America in 2023, a slight decline from the 76,226 fentanyl-related deaths in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Right now, China is putting fentanyl in the hands of the [Mexican drug] cartels,” Lamb explained.
Many of the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl originate in China. On Oct. 24, the Justice Department announced “charges against eight China-based companies and eight individuals we allege are responsible for trafficking precursor chemicals that cartels use to manufacture lethal fentanyl,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
The Chinese don’t have to shoot at us. They supply the drugs that are killing Americans from within. Don’t forget when you vote that Democrats are replacing Americans who won’t vote for them with illegals bringing this in.

The Danger Is Real: The Deep State’s Plot To Destabilize The Nation Is Working – How They Will Use Martial Law
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out … without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.”
– H. L. Mencken
If the three-ring circus that is the looming presidential election proves anything, it is that the Deep State’s plot to destabilize the nation is working.
The danger is real.
Caught up in the heavily dramatized electoral showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Americans have become oblivious to the multitude of ways in which the government is goosestepping all over our freedoms on a daily basis.
Especially alarming is the extent to which those on both sides are allowing themselves to be gaslighted by both Trump and Harris about critical issues of the day, selectively choosing to hear only what they want to hear when it casts the opposition in a negative light.
This is true whether you’re talking about immigration and border control, health care, national security, the nation’s endless wars, protections for free speech, or the militarization of the U.S. government.
For starters, there’s the free speech double standard, what my good friend Nat Hentoff used to refer to as the “free speech for me but not for thee” phenomenon in which the First Amendment’s protections only apply to those with whom we might agree.
Despite her claims to being a champion for the rule of law, which in our case is the U.S. Constitution, Harris isn’t averse to policing so-called “hate” speech. In this, Harris is not unlike those on both the Right and the Left who continue to express a distaste for unregulated, free speech online, especially when it comes to speech with which they might disagree.
Then there’s Trump, never a fan of free speech protections for his critics, who has been particularly vocal about his desire to see the military vanquish “radical left lunatics,” which he has dubbed “the enemy from within.”
If it were only about muzzling free speech activities, that would be concerning enough.
But Trump’s enthusiasm for using the military to target domestic enemies of the state should send off warning bells, especially coinciding as it does with the Department of Defense’s recent re-issuance of Directive 5240.01, which empowers the military to assist law enforcement “in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated.”
This is what martial law looks like—a government of force that relies on the military to enforce its authority—and it’s exactly what America’s founders feared, which is why they opted for a republic bound by the rule of law: the U.S. Constitution.
Responding to concerns that the military would be used for domestic policing, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act in 1878, which makes it a crime for the government to use the military to carry out arrests, searches, seizure of evidence and other activities normally handled by a civilian police force.
The increasing militarization of the police, the use of sophisticated weaponry against Americans and the government’s increasing tendency to employ military personnel domestically have all but eviscerated historic prohibitions such as the Posse Comitatus Act.
Yet sometime over the course of the past 240-plus years that constitutional republic has been transformed into a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy.
Unfortunately, most Americans seem relatively untroubled by the fact that our constitutional republic is being transformed into a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy.
The seeds of chaos that have been sown in recent years are all part of the Deep State’s plans to usher in martial law.

It’s The Left Preparing For War If Trump Wins, While Claiming It’s Trump Supporters Who Are Violent
The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country.
As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show that many senior party officials and operatives are preparing for the possibility of a Trump victory. Accordingly, planning is focused on undermining the incoming president with enough violence to rock his administration. Prominent post-election scenarios forecast such widespread rioting that the newly elected president would be compelled to invoke the Insurrection Act. With some senior military officials refusing to follow Trump’s orders, according to the scenarios, the U.S. Armed Forces would split, leaving America on the edge of the abyss.
By vilifying Trump as a despotic madman who must be stopped before he can commence his reign of terror, the regime’s propaganda apparatus not only slanders Trump but also pre-emptively threatens the reputation, as well as the livelihood and perhaps the liberty, of current military personnel. The point is to push the military against Trump: When the time comes to act, will you stand for democracy or side with a tyrant who sees the military only as an instrument to advance his personal interests?
For instance, last week the Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, quoted former Trump administration officials claiming that the Republican candidate is contemptuous of America’s armed forces and, according to Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, wishes he could command the same respect that Hitler commanded from his general officers.
This is not the first time that Trump has been compared to Hitler or that Kelly, a retired Marine general, turned on his former commander-in-chief. Kelly was the key source for a story published before the 2020 election, also in the Atlantic and also by Jeffrey Goldberg, that alleged Trump had called American WWII soldiers buried in French cemeteries “suckers and losers.”
The veracity of Kelly’s latest revelation that Trump admires Hitler must of course be judged against the fact that he waited five years to disclose it, even if it is unlikely to have much effect on the current election cycle. The military, and veterans of the Global War on Terror in particular, overwhelmingly support the candidate opposed to waging endless and strategically pointless foreign wars. Moreover, Trump has weathered far more damaging fabrications — like the false allegations that he had been compromised by Russian intelligence — that only galvanized support for him.
The purpose of the Hitler narrative is not to alter the electoral preferences of left-wing media audiences already solidly in the anti-Trump column, but rather to justify taking extreme measures against the Republican candidate and the America First movement and ensure that the bulk of the military sides with the anti-Trump plot. Thus, it is best understood in the context of recent accounts promising, or urging, violence after the November vote.
For example, last week the New York Times published a long interview with a scholar of fascism who declared that Trump is a fascist. The paper of record followed up with another long article by two Harvard professors calling for mass mobilization in the event of a Trump victory. The proposal suggests that private industry join civil society organizations to ostracize Trump and his supporters and engage in large public protests to provoke a crisis. Kamala Harris herself, commenting on Kelly’s allegations in the Atlantic story, claimed that her opponent “is a fascist” during a CNN town hall.
These stories are only the latest in an ongoing series of media reports warning of a Trump dictatorship. Beltway insider Robert Kagan was out of the gate early, writing even before Trump wrapped up the nomination that, without mounting resistance against the Republican candidate, America is “a few short steps, and a matter of months, away from the possibility of dictatorship.” A January story from NBC claimed that Trump was exploring ways to use the military to assassinate political rivals.
The propaganda meant to establish a predicate to employ violence to stop Trump has been reinforced at the highest levels of the Democratic Party.
When Joe Biden was asked by a reporter if he was confident that there would be a peaceful transfer of power after the 2024 election, he answered, “If Trump wins, no I’m not confident at all.” Then, seemingly correcting himself, the president said, “I mean if Trump loses, I’m not confident at all. He means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all the stuff about, ‘If we lose there will be a bloodbath.’”
Biden was referring to a comment Trump made in March about Chinese efforts to build auto manufacturing plants in Mexico. The export of those cars to America, Trump said, would result in a “bloodbath” for the U.S. auto industry. Naturally, the Biden campaign used the figure of speech to accuse Trump of inciting “political violence.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) advertised a more specific scenario leading to violence when he promised that Congress will remove Trump by invoking Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits anyone “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding federal office. “It’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified,” Raskin has said. “And then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions.”
But the most significant post-election scenarios were drafted by Rosa Brooks, a former Obama Pentagon official whose 2020 wargaming with the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) has been credited by the left-wing press for its “accuracy.”
Ahead of the last election, Brooks and TIP, according to the Guardian, “imagined the then far-fetched idea that Trump might refuse to concede defeat, and, by claiming widespread fraud in mail-in ballots, unleash dark forces culminating in violence. Every implausible detail of the simulations came to pass in the lead-up to the U.S. Capitol attack on 6 January 2021.”
That’s a fanciful way of obscuring the truth. TIP anticipated that Trump would contest the results because party operatives knew beforehand that election irregularities resulting from new voting procedures, like mass mail-in voting, designed to facilitate fraud would be glaringly obvious. Thus, because of Brooks’s past performance and her central role in a network comprising the media and current and former defense officials, her work is widely acknowledged as the Left’s roadmap for post-election contingency planning.
The left always claims the conservatives will do what they already are doing. Who had the riots in 2017? Who wore the stupid ass pink pussy caps? Who started, then blew the January 6 out of proportion (the FBI, or the left, they are the same).

Ten Fundamental Climate Questions the Media and Climate Alarmists Can’t or Won’t Answer
Here are 10 fundamental questions that climate alarmists never answer.
➊ You claim that the Earth is overheating. That it’s “too hot.” So, what is the correct global mean surface temperature (GMST) for life on Earth and why?
Please provide a numerical answer. Use units and round it to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Then, explain why that value is ideal and cite evidence to justify your answer.
➋ What is the correct atmospheric CO₂ level for life on Earth?
What is best to optimize our agricultural productivity?
What CO₂ level will make da weatha less scary?
Give your answer as an exact value as a mole fraction or volume percentage, and then explain why that value is ideal.
➌ What exactly makes CO₂ “pollution”?
The EPA considers CO₂ to be a pollutant, legally speaking, under the Clean Air Act, and their scientific justification is simply that, it “…𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑓𝑎𝑟𝑒.”
That’s pretty ambiguous.
Because by that measure, water vapor should also be classified as a “pollutant” because it’s also a “greenhouse gas” (GHG) — it’s also the most abundant and potent GHG; it absorbs a wider spectrum of IR wavelengths than CO₂.
So, what actually makes CO₂ pollution?
➍ Why are temperature departures from 1850-1900 climate conditions deemed as the human welfare control knob given that the overall human condition has never been better than it is today? How is was climate during the end of the Little Ice Age — the coldest period in the last 10,000-years — preferable to today’s? On what account was the weather more benign? By what measure? Be specific. Tell me how the climate was supposedly less dangerous in the 17-19th centuries.
➎ The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that President Biden signed into law in 2022 was popularized as the “biggest climate bill in history,” but ever since the bill was signed, climate alarmists insist climate change has only gotten worse.
Why are we not seeing the bill work its magic?
https://axios.com/2024/07/21/biden-legacy-election-2024
➏ If we spend $75 trillion to decarbonize the economy by 2050, by how much will it reduce the GMST by the end of the century? Please provide your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius and show your calculations.
What does the perfect climate look like? How will we know when we get there? By what measure?
➐ The estimated cost of net zero by the year 2050 in the U.S. is $75 trillion ($3 trillion per year), according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
That’s a hefty price tag.
And with ~260 million adult taxpayers, it would cost each of us $288,461.54 to get to “net zero emissions” by the target date. That’s 3-6-years’ worth of peoples’ salaries.
Are you willing to shell out that money, or do you just expect that everyone else will foot the bill for you?
Secondly, if you don’t know the answer to question six, then are we supposed to just spend that $75 trillion and see what happens?
➑ If “combating climate change” is a global concerted effort, why do China and India get a free pass to continue emitting carbon dioxide without bound?
➒ Why are you so vehemently opposed to the deployment of nuclear power? It is the safest, most sustainable “carbon-free” energy technology and without the compliance regulations, isn’t expensive when compared to solar PV and wind, which are inefficient, intermittent, costly add-ons to existing electricity generation sources.
➓ If humans are a parasite to the Earth since we are destroying it, why then are you worried that climate change could wipe us all out? Wouldn’t that be better for Earth? Why don’t you be the change you want to see and “net zero” yourself?

Capitalism Overrules Wokeism At The Newspapers
Publisher and columnist Adam Kelly is in the West Virginia journalism hall of fame despite being the most conservative man I ever met. He asked me once if I knew what the purpose of a newspaper is.
His answer: To make money for its owner.
What was true in 1982 is true today. The Pulitzer-laden staffs of the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post discovered this over the weekend when their owners vetoed endorsements of her majesty, Queen Kamala. Likewise, the Hill reported, “Over 200 American outlets under USA Today parent company Gannett will not back candidates in presidential or national races,” according to USA Today.”
This sudden attempt to restore their virginity by newspapers may be because of the dumb-as-the-B-in-dumb Democrat candidate. But it could be the fact that all these rags have failed Newspaper Rule No. 1, which is to make money for the owner.
I hope that the latter is true because that gives me hope that the problem can be fixed. AM radio was once hopelessly obsolete until Rush Limbaugh revived it as a source of clean information untainted by liberalism.
Jeff Bezos lost $77 million last year as the owner of the Post. He decided to reintroduce objective journalism to the paper on the Potomac that flushed its reputation down the Porta-Potty long ago. He decided to return to the pre-Watergate era when the Post did not endorse in presidential races.
The press coverage of this decision is as expected.
The left must be losing it as their domination of the censorship machine is eroding both here and in social media (X).
Who gives a shit what the celebtards think anyway? They all think alike and have no opinion of their own.

Leftist Academics Flee as Musk’s X Ends Their Censorship Reign: How Free Speech Sent the Ivory Tower Packing
Good riddance. They were the poison on both social media and at their schools.
Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, or X as it’s now called, has brought an abrupt shift in the dynamics of the platform. For years, X functioned as an echo chamber where progressive academics freely exchanged ideas, often without much opposition. It was an exclusive club, and Musk’s open-door policy shattered it. With censorship dialed back and banned accounts reinstated, Musk’s version of free speech drove many academics away, leading to a marked decrease in engagement among their ranks.
An article titled The Vibes Are Off: Did Elon Musk Push Academics Off Twitter ? documents this retreat. It shows a significant drop in activity, especially among verified users, following Musk’s acquisition. Emphasis below is mine.
This article addresses a narrower empirical question: What did Elon Musk’s takeover of the platform mean for this academic ecosystem? Using a snowball sample of more than 15,700 academic accounts from the fields of economics, political science, sociology, and psychology, we show that academics in these fields reduced their “engagement” with the platform, measured by either the number of active accounts (i.e., those registering any behavior on a given day) or the number of tweets written (including original tweets, replies, retweets, and quote tweets). We further tested whether this decrease in engagement differed by account type; we found that verified users were significantly more likely to reduce their production of content (i.e., writing new tweets and quoting others’ tweets) but not their engagement with the platform writ large (i.e., retweeting and replying to others’ content).
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/article/vibes-are-off-did-elon-musk-push-academics-off-twitter/28F45D508BE8F50C95F0F2BBEC48BB10
The data points to a familiar pattern: when left-leaning narratives lose control of the conversation, proponents either cry foul or flee. Now, if you combine this exodus with the insights from Mitchell Langbert’s 2018 study on the political affiliations of elite liberal arts college faculty, the story becomes even clearer.
Langbert’s study from 2018, Homogenous: The Political Affiliations of Elite Liberal Arts College Faculty, reveals a staggering imbalance: liberal arts faculties are overwhelmingly Democratic, with many departments having zero registered Republicans. Across 51 colleges, the average Democratic-to-Republican ratio was 10.4:1. Excluding the two military colleges in the sample (West Point and Annapolis), the ratio jumped to 12.7:1. In the most ideologically driven fields, like gender and peace studies, there were no Republicans to be found.
Why Political Homogeneity Is Troubling
Political homogeneity is problematic because it biases research and teaching and reduces academic credibility. In a recent book on social psychology, The Politics of Social Psychology edited by Jarret T. Crawford and Lee Jussim, Mark J. Brandt and Anna Katarina Spälti, show that because of left-wing bias, psychologists are far more likely to study the character and evolution of individuals on the Right than individuals on the Left.2 Inevitably affecting the quality of this research, though, George Yancey found that sociologists prefer not to work with fundamentalists, evangelicals, National Rifle Association members, and Republicans.3 Even though more Americans are conservative than liberal, academic psychologists’ biases cause them to believe that conservatism is deviant. In the study of gender, Charlotta Stern finds that the ideological presumptions in sociology prevent any but the no-differences-between-genders assumptions of left-leaning sociologists from making serious research inroads. So pervasive is the lack of balance in academia that more than 1,000 professors and graduate students have started Heterodox Academy, an organization committed to increasing “viewpoint diversity” in higher education.4 The end result is that objective science becomes problematic, and where research is problematic, teaching is more so.

Mid Week Meme Dump
You Paid ~1B$ for this COVID PsyWar Campaign
To the surprise of no one, the recently released House Energy and Commerce report on the approximately one billion dollar “indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity” (IDIQ) federal contract awarded by the Biden/Harris Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the “Beltway Bandit” Fors Marsh Group (FMG) has received approximately no coverage by corporate media – and hardly on social media, for that matter. The notable exception being the New York Post.
The report documents that what Fors Marsh Group delivered to HHS for the 991M $ in taxpayer dollars it received was to deploy a massive Psychological Warfare campaign on American Citizens, one which employed a wide range of proven disinformation. Disinformation as defined by spreading falsehoods for political purposes. Those following along closely will recall that the Mayorkas Department of Homeland Security defined the spreading of disinformation during the COVID crisis as domestic terrorism.

This Won’t End Well
The Democrats, at this late hour, are still working to find a message that works with reluctant male voters, particularly younger ones and minorities.
Michelle Obama apparently thinks she’s found it: She’s going to tell them that Donald Trump presents some sort of amorphous, unsaid threat to women’s lives, and those “lives are worth more than [your] anger and disappointment.”
You may perhaps see why the Democrats are having trouble getting traction with this message.
Apparently unsatisfied to just send her husband out to lecture “the brothers” earlier this month, the Democrats sent Michelle once more into the breach, this time in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she was introducing Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.
A hugely unlikeable person lecturing a group of people who don’t like her.
Where was she when the campaign was really on months ago? It gives you the feeling that she’s not really behind Kamala

$41 Billion of World Bank’s ‘Climate Change’ Fund Has Gone Missing -It Was Likely Stolen
The article describes it below, but Climate change was a money scam from the get-go. It made a lot of people willing to lie and pontificate rich. That was their motive. The Climate story was the ruse to move the money around and now the money is “gone”, but a lot of people are a lot richer.
Here it is:
The globalist World Bank has “misplaced” a staggering $41 billion in “climate change” funds, an investigation has revealed.
Oxfam launched an investigation into the World Bank’s handling of the funds and found that billions in “misplaced funds” had gone missing.
Investigators revealed that there is “No clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used.”
The World Bank was created, in part, to help alleviate extreme poverty.
Roughly 10% of the world’s population, 700 million people, are living on less than $2 a day.
The bank gets its funding from taxpayer-funded contributions made by rich nations.
However, the World Bank recently decided to divert 45 percent of its development funds from poverty programs to globalist “climate change” schemes.
About $40 billion a year from the World Bank is now earmarked to fund green agenda efforts.
Yet, since the money shifted to “climate change” initiatives, vast sums of cash have become mysteriously “misplaced.”
An investigation by Oxfam of the World Bank’s finances shows that anywhere between $24 and $41 billion of “misplaced funds” are now missing.
There is no way of locating the missing money due to “poor record-keeping practices,” says Oxfam.
These funds were most likely stolen.

New study proves trans agenda is one BIG LIE, but ‘experts’ are hiding the truth from parents…
The left has weaponized nearly every sacred institution we hold dear: education, the justice system, and worst of all, medicine. What’s truly terrifying is that their obsession with political ideology has trumped truth, facts, and even the well-being of the people. We saw this horrifying shift unfold during COVID, where so-called “medical experts” traded their credibility for political loyalty. They abandoned their profession, not to help Americans but to push a left-wing agenda. And now it’s happening again with the dangerous trans agenda targeting vulnerable teens. A new study exposes the lie at the heart of the entire trans movement, but what’s even more alarming is that the experts know it—and they’re hiding it to keep the gravy train rolling.
An influential doctor and advocate of adolescent gender treatments said she had not published a long-awaited study of puberty-blocking drugs because of the charged American political environment.
The doctor, Johanna Olson-Kennedy, began the study in 2015 as part of a broader, multimillion-dollar federal project on transgender youth. She and colleagues recruited 95 children from across the country and gave them puberty blockers, which stave off the permanent physical changes — like breasts or a deepening voice — that could exacerbate their gender distress, known as dysphoria.
The researchers followed the children for two years to see if the treatments improved their mental health. An older Dutch study had found that puberty blockers improved well-being, results that inspired clinics around the world to regularly prescribe the medications as part of what is now called gender-affirming care.
But the American trial did not find a similar trend, Dr. Olson-Kennedy said in a wide-ranging interview. Puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements, she said, most likely because the children were already doing well when the study began.
“They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years,” said Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who runs the country’s largest youth gender clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
this data won’t be released because “the findings might fuel the kind of political attacks that have led to bans of the youth gender treatments in more than 20 states, one of which will soon be considered by the Supreme Court,” writes New York Times reporter Azeen Ghorayshi, summarizing Olson-Kennedy’s reasoning.
In other words, when it comes to how to medically treat children suffering from gender dysphoria, it’s not about the science. It’s about the ideology—and ensuring that ideology triumphs in American law and all states.
The only problem with these kids is growing up and having adults ruining that for them. Something goes wrong and the tranny supporters tell them that this will fix everything.
Woke ruins everything it touches, but for these kids their lives are ruined for life
Megyn Kelly Sums it up:
Pay attention, because I’m about to give you a truth bomb. Kids who are suffering from bullying or who have been sexually assaulted, or who are going through normal puberty and feel uncomfortable in their bodies will say to their parents, ‘I’m not sure, maybe I’m gender confused.’
[The parents] will send them to a psychiatrist or psychologist who are told by our organizations, the American Psychiatry Association and all the others that run their licensing, ‘You must affirm.’ Affirm[ation] is our only standard.
And so the child gets told, ‘You’re right. You are secretly a boy.’ Or vice versa. And the child gets put on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones which sterilize the child and deprive the child of any chance of sexual pleasure for the rest of his or her life. We’re talking about 9, 10, 11-year-olds who cannot give informed consent. Then they have body parts chopped off by a medical establishment and by parents who mean well, but believe in these doctors and they shouldn’t.
And when they inevitably get past the awkwardness of puberty or what have you and they want to turn around and detransition, those who love bombed them on Reddit saying, ‘Come on in, the water’s fine,’ abandon them. They are depressed. They have changed their bodies forever in a way that is irreversible. And we are all sitting back saying, ‘It’s a remote issue,’ as Kamala Harris said. It’s not remote. It’s the issue of our time with respect to children and women’s rights.”

The List Of Legacy Media Lies – Why You Shouldn’t Trust Them
Danes Add Cow Farting Carbon Tax To Their Already Highest Tax Rate In The World
This is beyond ridiculous for stupidity on many levels. Besides the fact that it’s a tax based on a climate lie, it adds to the tax base of a group of socialists who pay one of the highest tax rates in the free world.
Of course, they tell you that education and medical care are free, but they just pay upfront, out of their paychecks. Nothing is free. Also, the medical care sucks. My wife’s relatives live there and I hear the stories directly from them about waiting six weeks for crummy care. It’s a schadenboner for me when I hear about Denmark doing another brainless move like this.
Here we go:
Dairy farmers in Denmark have to pay the world’s first carbon tax on their livestock, all in the name of a climate crisis that does not exist.
The country’s coalition government agreed this week to introduce the world’s first carbon emissions tax on agriculture. It will mean new levies on livestock starting in 2030.
Denmark is a major dairy and pork exporter, and agriculture is the country’s biggest source of emissions. The coalition agreement — which also entails investing 40 billion krone ($3.7 billion) in measures such as reforestation and establishing wetlands — is aimed at helping the country meet its climate goals.
“With today’s agreement, we are investing billions in the biggest transformation of the Danish landscape in recent times,” Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a statement Tuesday. “At the same time, we will be the first country in the world with a (carbon) tax on agriculture.”
The key details of Denmark’s plan include:
Estimated cost per cow: 672 kroner ($96) annually, based on average emissions of 5.6 tons of CO2 equivalent per cow.
Implementation date: 2030
Initial tax rate: 300 kroner ($43) per ton of CO2 equivalent
Tax rate by 2035: 750 kroner ($108) per ton of CO2 equivalent
Effective tax after 60% tax break: 120 kroner ($17) per ton in 2030, rising to 300 kroner ($43) by 2035
Dairy is one of their country’s largest industries and they are going to help make it more expensive, thus killing the golden goose.
Her relatives love to think how smart they are and tell me how bad the USA is. It’s gems like this that let me chuckle at the chuckleheads. That they both buy the climate lies and self-penalize their economy tells me who’s not really that smart. I don’t even have to say anything when stuff like this comes out.

Steve Jobs Wife Buys The Atlantic, Publishes Story Immediately Debunked After Attempting Yet Another Trump Military Hit Piece
It was only days ago that twice-failed White House wannabe Hillary Clinton was discussing how Democrats must control the information Americans have, through the press and social media.
Now one of her compatriots-in-arms in the agenda to make America over into the “just and equal society” they want has confirmed that agenda, with actions that including her ownership of The Atlantic, a far-left publication that repeatedly has done hit pieces on President Donald Trump, and her expressed interest in ownership of the New York Times: “Is it for sale?”
That person is Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and the inheritor of his billions.
The sister of slain soldier Vanessa Guillén slammed The Atlantic after it used anonymous sources to allege that President Donald Trump disparaged her after discovering the funeral expenses.
Guillén’s death at the hands of a fellow soldier and his girlfriend became national news in 2020, with Trump comforting the grief-stricken family and extending death benefits. He also offered to cover the costs personally if the Army did not pay for the funeral expenses.
The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, however, attempted to rewrite history on Tuesday, claiming that Trump was outraged when he learned that Guillén’s funeral, which included heightened security and closed streets, cost $60,000.
According to the magazine—relying on an anonymous source—Trump allegedly said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” and ordered then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to deny payment.
Guillén’s sister, Mayra, issued a viral statement on X, condemning The Atlantic’s distorted portrayal of her experience with Trump.
“I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra wrote on X, garnering over 3 million views.
“President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today,” Mayra added.
This marked the second instance of The Atlantic publishing demonstrably false claims against Trump.
The magazine previously claimed that Trump refused to visit a veteran cemetery because he allegedly called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”
It was later revealed that the cemetery trip was canceled due to poor weather, which required Trump to travel by helicopter.
Figures it would be both a liberal and a girl. They (like Hillary) are trying to control speech. Not this time

So Much For the MeToo and Believe All Women Lies: Feminist Celebrities Silent on Emhoff Accusations
Hollywood celebrities were instrumental in weaponizing the #MeToo movement against conservatives. Who can forget Alyssa Milano sitting in judgement of Brett Kavanaugh? Or The View hosts providing an endless platform for E. Jean Carroll to assail former President Donald Trump? But when it comes to fellow Democrats, the stars are fond of looking the other way — think: Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Andrew Cuomo.
We can now add Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ husband, to that dishonorable list. Despite credible accusations that he physically assaulted an ex girlfriend, Hollywood celebrities are still lining up behind him, including most recently ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, actor Ben Stiller, and Bravo’s talk-show host Andy Cohen.
“Believe all women” died a long time ago. Doug Emhoff is now disposing of the body in the woods.
Below are the celebrity feminists who’ve backed Harris but remain silent on the Emhoff abuse accusations

Congress Finds Out They’ll Have To Admit The Truth About January 6th
Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas is a former sheriff, Army National Guard Major, and the recipient of 2 bronze stars. Nehls vocally criticized Nancy Pelosi, the J6 Committee, and Capitol Police leadership for their handling of January 6. Soon after, under Nancy Pelosi’s authority, on November 20, 2021, Capitol Police illegally entered his office and photographed confidential legislative materials. Two days later, while Congress was in recess and Nehls’ office was supposedly vacant, they returned dressed as construction workers; however, they were caught by Nehl’s staffer who chose to work through the holiday weekend. Congressman Nehls believes this was an attempt to blackmail him into silence on J6.
Instead of standing down, Rep. Nehls doubled down. On September 24, he hosted a congressional screening of the film The War On Truth. Nick Searcy and I made The War On Truth as a follow-up to our 2021 film Capitol Punishment: Everything They Told You Is A Lie. I didn’t win a Best Director Oscar for that film, but I did get investigated by the FBI. That was part of the reason why we decided to make The War On Truth.
The screening was an emotional and informative event that left the audience stunned.

So Much For Any Faculty Diversity In Colleges
They are homogenous. It’s a bunch of liberals indoctrinating students to hate America and turn against it. What about learning? The Test of a First-Rate Intelligence Is the Ability To Hold Two Opposed Ideas in the Mind at the Same Time. There is only one way in colleges now, the liberal view.
Honestly, this number seems a little high, given all we know about the political culture of higher education.

Only 8% of faculty will vote for Trump: survey
Professors will overwhelmingly vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the coming weeks, according to a new survey.
Inside Higher Ed surveyed more than 1,000 professors, mostly “tenured or tenure track,” and found significant support for the Democratic presidential ticket.
“Seventy-eight percent support Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz, while only 8 percent of the respondents back Donald Trump and JD Vance, according to the survey, which has a 2.9 percent margin of error,” the publication reported.
“But while their personal support for Democrats was overwhelming, almost no respondents said they plan to tell students which party or candidate to vote for,” Inside Higher Ed reported.
Most respondents said they keep their personal political beliefs out of the classroom. Only four percent said they would tell students who to vote for, but 30 percent plan to “discuss the election” in class.

Study Exposes Massive Life Expectancy Plunge for Covid-Vaxxed
This goes with the Bill Gates story that abortion drugs were in the Covid-19 vaccine.
Here goes:
A major peer-reviewed study has revealed that people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines” have significantly reduced their life expectancy.
The explosive study was conducted by a team of leading Italian researchers led by Professor Marco Alessandria of the University of Turin.
The bombshell findings of Prof. Alessandria and his team were published in the renowned Swiss medical journal MDPI.
The study has sent shockwaves through the scientific community and further confirmed warnings from leading experts about the long-term impact of the Covid mRNA injections.
The researchers found that the Covid-vaxxed suffered a “statistically significant” loss of life expectancy after two or more doses.
Following a detailed analysis of the study, the McCullough Foundation confirms that those who received two doses of the shots have lost 37% of their life expectancy.
The Foundation, founded by eminent American cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, reported:
“The subjects vaccinated with two doses lost 37% of life expectancy compared to the unvaccinated population during the follow-up considered.”
Further, the study found so-called “booster” shots are completely “ineffective.”
Choose what you want to believe about it, but the facts are starting to favor the conspiracy theorists who say it’s poison. It’s also a test run of whether the masses will obey a made-up crisis, for next time.
The facts were there all along. When they made people take it to keep their jobs, and said it was safe and effective (if you like your policy, you can keep your policy, or I did not have sexual relations with that woman) you should believe the opposite.
They literally murdered people, like the governments of Germany, the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, North Korea, and Vietnam.

WNBA Loses $40 Million Despite Woke Mass Marketing Campaign
Every year feminist activists attempt to stir up a new controversy in order to fabricate public outrage and keep their agenda visible on social media. In 2024 one such controversy was the supposed pay disparity (which they call the “gender pay gap”) between women’s professional basketball and men’s professional basketball.
The notion of the gender pay gap has been thoroughly debunked in the western world. The original theory was rooted solely on the average pay accrued by all men vs all women and was a statistical misrepresentation of reality. When those numbers are broken down, the fact is that men work longer hours, they work more difficult jobs, more skilled jobs, they take less vacation time and they don’t have babies so they don’t need paternity leave. All of these factors and more add up to a higher average salary for men vs women.
It has everything to do with women’s choices and nothing to do with some nefarious patriarchal conspiracy to hold them back from success.
Because the overall gender pay gap argument has been destroyed and is no longer taken seriously, feminists then tried to search for specific examples of pay disparity in gender segregated professions. Professional sports is one of the few venues in which feminists could present a male vs female one-to-one comparison and say there is a distinct lack of fairness. Except, that argument assumes that male athletes and female athletes perform at the same level. The fact is, they do not.
Women’s game performance and abilities are far behind those of their professional male counterparts. They are two separate universes in terms of entertainment. This is an issue which no one in the mainstream wants to address – The women’s games are mostly terrible to watch.
If it wasn’t for Caitlin Clark, no one would have watched. They only showed up for her games and only tuned in to her team. Even then you can’t watch a whole game because they play Jr. High School Basketball, only not that good.
Bill Burr is freaking hilarious, but says what needs to be said here, it’s worth the listen

Another Car Maker Giving Up 2035 EV Mandate
Another Lie goes down.
Back in 2022, I reported that Toyota Motor chief Akio Toyoda remains skeptical of moving to only producing electric vehicles (EVs). Toyoda also indicated that most people who work in the auto industry agree with him.
“People involved in the auto industry are largely a silent majority,” Toyoda said. “That silent majority is wondering whether EVs are really OK to have as a single option. But they think it’s the trend so they can’t speak out loudly.”
Now BMW’s CEO Oliver Zipse argues that Europe’s 2035 ban on internal combustion engines (ICE) is unrealistic and could increase reliance on Chinese batteries.
BMW wants Europe to relax its plan to ban new petrol and diesel-powered cars from 2035 onward, in an effort to reduce the region’s reliance on batteries from China. While many automakers have fully embraced electrification, BMW is opting for a more diversified strategy.
In addition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the company is investing in alternative technologies such as e-fuels and hydrogen fuel cells, betting that the future of mobility won’t be driven by batteries alone.
BMW Chief Says Europe’s 2035 EV Mandate is “No Longer Realistic”
They just want to force their climate nonsense on us when in fact it’s a control issue by the Climate wienees. They tried making us act like sheep during Covid and we’re not going to do it again. This level of technology of battery-powered cars is not the answer, especially when they can turn them off for social non-compliance.

Transgenderism looms large as issue, prominent pollster predicts it could swing Senate races to GOP
People may say they don’t care, but when it comes down to brass tacks, they are NIMBY’S.
Most are showing how it affects them in their voting.
Prominent pollster Scott Rasmussen says the issue of transgenderism with biological men playing in biological women’s sports could move voters in swing states to the right.
“We now have colleges forfeiting their games rather than play against transgender athletes,” Rasmussen said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “So the issue has some general impact.”
Over the past few weeks, multiple schools have canceled womens’ volleyball matches against San Jose State due to the team having a transgender player on the team who had been seen spiking balls into the faces of the opposing team during matches, according to Fox News.
This issue has come up in schools all over the country from Loudoun County, Virginia, to Leon County, Florida with minors “identifying” as transgender and creating an ongoing conflict between the schools and parents.
Rasmussen said that this issue could particularly impact Senate races in swing states.
“Where I’m starting to see it is in Senate races,” he said. “We see it playing out in the Texas Senate race, in Wisconsin and in Michigan.”
They are just another woke group and nobody likes woke. It is a curse to anything it touches

I’m very tired of atheists bashing us. Christians aren’t doing anything to them.
And then she has the gall to pull this one. She’s either really dumb or, no it’s dumb.

When Is Satan Going To Call This Bitch Home?
Wrong on just about everything in life and an American traitor, Jane Fonda pulls this.
You might think that a self-proclaimed climate advocate would be thrilled to see an announcement of more clean, reliable energy on the grid. But, you’d be wrong.
Last month, Constellation Energy announced a deal with Microsoft to reopen a reactor at Three Mile Island, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center. Expected to open by 2028 and operate for at least 20 years, the reactor is a promise of not only energy security amidst exploding energy demand, but an economic boon for Pennsylvania as well. According to a report completed by the Brattle Group, reopening the reactor is expected to create more than 3,000 jobs and add $16 billion to Pennsylvania’s GDP.
Yet, actor and activist Jane Fonda took to the pages of The Philadelphia Inquirer to proclaim that “Nuclear power at Three Mile Island is no climate solution.” Fueled by her decades-long hatred of the energy source, Fonda makes a bizarre and convoluted argument that America’s single largest source of clean energy is not what we need to tackle climate change.
Even worse, she misleads readers by conflating the two reactors at TMI. Unit 2, owned by Energy Solutions, was the site of the partial meltdown in 1979 and has not operated since. Unit 1 is owned by Constellation and was one of the most reliable nuclear power plants in the country until it closed in 2019 for economic reasons. Having grown up just an hour south of the facility in southern York County, I remember hearing about the ramifications of the accident. Nuclear power was seen as “scary” and “dangerous” by Pennsylvanians who simply cared about their family’s health and safety.

FEMA, No Money For Hurricane Helene Victims In NC, But Still Paying $9,000 For COVID Funerals, Billions On Pandemic Payouts
As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) carries out widely criticized responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials say the agency’s Disaster Recovery Fund is incapable of handling a third major storm. While some are circulating false accusations that disaster funds have been diverted to immigrants or poured into the proxy war in Ukraine, a review of the agency’s 2024 outlays reveals a different, ongoing drain on FEMA’s coffers: Long after the end of the declared Covid-19 emergency, FEMA is still pumping out billions of dollars to pay for pandemic expenses — including, believe it or not, up to $9,000 each for funerals.
As previously detailed here at Stark Realities, governments’ response to the Covid-19 pandemic was disastrous on many fronts. While the Pandora’s box of collateral damage included widespread harm to the physical and mental health of individuals, it also dealt a blow to the nation’s fiscal well-being, as the federal government recklessly showered trillions of dollars it didn’t have on people, businesses and state and local governments — with much of that money intended to offset the effects of government’s own tyrannical and counterproductive policies.

Harvard donations plunge 15% as alumni cut ties over weak response to campus antisemitism
Harvard University warned that donations to its endowment have nosedived as outraged alumni cut ties with the school over its feeble response to on-campus antisemitism.
Cash gifts to the Ivy League school fell about 15% to less than $1.2 billion during the fiscal year ended June 30, according to a Harvard financial report released Thursday.
Harvard was mired in controversy after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel. Like other elite colleges across the US, pro-Palestinian students protested and set up encampments on Harvard’s campus.
Tensions boiled over when Harvard’s then-president Claudine Gay refused to condemn student groups that held Israel “entirely responsible” for the Oct. 7 attacks.
Soon after, deep-pocketed donors – including billionaire investor Len Blavatnik and hedge fund titan Ken Griffin – suspended giving to the university. Less-wealthy alumni also abandoned their contributions.

Fun Facts For Your Liberal Friends
“Green” Energy: It’s Just a Bribe
Also known as lying or bullshit. I worked in the industry and saw just how much it was just that.
“’I’m a businessman. I’ll take the [government green] money, that’s all I care about… I will move heaven and earth to get projects done over here’.” – James Quigley, quoted in Politico ‘s “Power Switch” (below)
In the mid-19th century, Claude-Frédéric Bastiat, a political economist, wrote:
Government is the great fiction through which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else. Every one is, more or less, for profiting by the labors of others. No one would dare to express such a sentiment; he even hides it from himself.
The Frenchman added:
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.
Correct. Government does not create wealth; it redistributes it (after a large cut). Who wins and loses? The winners are government, the lobbyists, and the rent-seekers, with concentrated benefits to them and diffused costs for the rest of us. Plunder, Bastiat would say.
—————-
I was reminded of this by a news item reported in Politico‘s “Power Switch” newsletter (August 16, 2023).
“Not all Republicans want to repeal the climate law that turns 1 today,” reported Josh Siegel. “In fact, my colleague Kelsey Tamborrino and I spoke to dozens of people from all corners of the country and discovered that many GOP officials in rural areas are welcoming the billions of dollars in clean energy incentives coming from President Joe Biden’s signature legislation.”
So do you think they found Republicans that feared “climate change” and welcomed “green” energy as cheaper and better? No, the interviewed were financially captured rent-seekers, enjoying a wealth transfer from taxpayers (via Biden) to their pockets. Here is the rest of the story.
In Rogers County, Okla., Republican Commissioner Ron Burrows looks at the Inflation Reduction Act and sees jobs — 1,000 of them to be exact. At least once the Italian giant Enel opens its $1 billion solar manufacturing plant there in 2025.
Burrows is not alone. Other political and economic leaders in Oklahoma, including Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, are glad to receive the major investments they say they’d never have attracted without the climate law.
“You can imagine being in a small rural community and trying to get economic development to come — it’s a challenge,” said Rosalie Griffith, a board member of the Rural Economic Development of Inola. “But unless you develop, you’re going to die.”
Burrows said Enel’s decision to locate in his tiny town east of Tulsa — population 1,500 — would not have happened without local buy-in. “I just don’t see a company making that sort of investment without some level of comfort that it’s not adversarial, it’s not split,” he said.
By contrast, his local member of Congress — GOP Rep. Josh Brecheen — views the Inflation Reduction Act through the prism of most national Republicans. Brecheen told me he opposes the use of “taxpayer subsidization” to bolster Democrats’ favored green industries and is seeking to repeal the law.
Kelsey and I found that same disconnect between state and local GOP officials in rural areas and their federal representatives across the country.
There’s even a similar, but less dramatic, dynamic unfolding in upstate New York. GOP Rep. Marc Molinaro voted to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy incentives, and that’s made him a top target of Democrats in the 2024 election. His district is one of 18 that voted for Biden but are held by Republicans.
Inflation Reduction Act money catalyzed Canadian company Zinc8 Energy Solutions’ decision to locate a planned battery factory in Molinaro’s purple district. The project is expected to bring up to 500 new jobs to a Hudson Valley region still suffering from the loss of its manufacturing base in the 1990s. That’s exciting James Quigley, a Republican who drives a Tesla and is the supervisor for the town of Ulster, where Zinc8 plans to locate.

Gosh Josh, what did you really find our here? Are you proud of this? Did you and Kelsey Tamborrino ask the same parties if they liked the federal deficit and inflation? The present level of taxation? The wisdom of the few over the energy verdicts of the masses?
The Wall Street Journal‘s “Bidenomics and the New Political-Subsidy Economy” spoke to this issue:
Money for these subsidies has to come from somewhere, and that means the private economy in higher taxes and more government borrowing…. The IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] is the heart of Bidenomics, which is about creating a new political-subsidy economy. Perhaps all of this will effloresce into a brilliant green future. More likely hundreds of billions in misallocated investment will reduce future productivity gains and translate into slower economic and income growth. Let’s hope President Biden’s subsidies don’t boomerang like pandemic transfer payments, leaving all Americans poorer.
What a waste, what a shame. The next President needs to issue an emergency declaration that the U.S. is out of money and cease all subsidies of the Inflation Reduction Act in order to pause wind, solar, and battery subsidies. Ratepayers and taxpayers will be thankful.

New Cancer Treatment Protocol – Ivermectin
Yes, the horse de-wormer they tried to propagandize away from treating COVID-19, which it successfully cured. It’s amazing the depths of depravity of Big Pharma, the government, and doctors went to preventing this practically miracle drug.
Now this:
A new cancer treatment protocol involving repurposed drugs Ivermectin
(commonly known as a ‘horse dewormer’), Fenbendazole (a ‘dog
dewormer’), and Mebendazole has recently passed peer review and is being
heralded as a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy.According to the Public Library of Science (PLOS),
a research protocol is a detailed study design or set of instructions
for carrying out a specific experimental process or procedure.The hybrid orthomolecular protocol, featured in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine
(Vol. 39.3), targets the mitochondrial-stem cell connection (MSCC), a
key mechanism believed to drive cancer stem cells and tumor progression.
Dr. William Makis, a nuclear medicine physician and researcher
specializing in multiple medical fields, including cancer and one of the
first doctors to warn about the danger of the COVID shot, shared this
news in a post on X.
BREAKING NEWS: First-in-the-World Ivermectin, Mebendazole
and Fenbendazole Protocol in Cancer has been peer-reviewed and
published on Sep.19, 2024!The future of Cancer Treatment starts NOW.My thanks to lead authors Ilyes Baghli and Pierrick Martinez for
their incredible inspired work, FLCCC’s Dr.Paul Marik for his extensive
work on repurposed drugs and every co-author who worked hard to bring
this paper to life.I hope that this peer-reviewed paper lays the groundwork for a brand new future for Cancer Treatment.

The Problem With “Science” Is The Scientists
The scientific method is a wonderfully useful tool for understanding our universe. Its socio-benefits are self-apparent. I’m certainly not anti-science; if anything, I’m a big fan. My life is better because of it.
But I’m also aware of its limitations.
For starters, science is not synonymous with truth — and the scientific method is an extremely limited tool. Yes, we’ve used it with great success to understand our universe, but its utility is not universal.
Woe to the man who only understands the universe via the scientific method. You’d miss the most important things in life!
In its purest, axiomatic sense, the scientific method (i.e. attaching a hypothesis to an observation, developing a replicable test, and recording the results) is self-correcting, because future experiments should address any incongruities. As the quality and frequency of experiments improve, better data should arise.
At least that’s the theory.
But in actuality, the problem with “trusting the science” is threefold:
- Scientists are just people, and people are biased. The scientific community is not immune to bias, political pressures, the lure of career advancements, or the impact of preconceived agendas.
- The scientific method is only as good as the quality of its experiments, and far too many things (climate change, evolution, biological studies, health) are challenging to directly experiment. For example, it would be extraordinarily useful to know what our current temperature would be without any manmade greenhouse emissions whatsoever. (Hey, maybe the Global Warming alarmists are 100% right.) But we don’t know because it’s not something we can directly test. Instead, we’re left with cherry-picking clusters of facts and using them to build various arguments. And that leads to…
- Our current usage of “science” has led to a ridiculously large number of false positives. That’s because it’s far too easy for biased scientists to generate media attention (and raise money) by publicizing a conclusion that’s centered on cherry-picked data. It happens all the time, and it’s gotten to the point that it’s practically a cliché: One week, a “scientific study” is announced that says chocolate (or whatever) is the secret to weight loss. Next week, the study is denounced. It’s practically a weekly occurrence.
Too many unethical scientists are wearing the cloak of “science” to lend the veneer of credibility to utterly unscientific conclusions. Chief among them is Scientific American magazine, which announced last month that it was endorsing Kamala Harris for president. In the magazine’s illustrious 179-year history, it has made presidential endorsements exactly twice — in 2020 and 2024 — and both times, they were anti-Trump. (Very odd, eh?)
Scientific American explained its “logic” in an article released today: “The 2024 Presidential Election Will Make or Break U.S. Climate Action.” It’s worth reading because it’s absolutely NOT a scientific piece. It’s an aggressively liberal screed on public policy. And because you can’t test planetary climate cycles via direct experimentations, the Scientific American “scientists” did the next best thing: They used a computer program that spits out whatever data it’s been designed to regurgitate.
Indeed, that’s exactly what they did. In their article:
To provide a broad look at how potential policies under Harris or Trump would shape future U.S. [greenhouse] emissions, Orvis’s team at EI used its Energy Policy Simulator, an open-source computer model. The researcher compared current policies under the Biden-Harris administration with more ambitious policies that achieve a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and with the policies laid out in Project 2025. The found that the latter scenario ‘basically stops the progress that’s been made’…
How scientific! They relied on Project 2025 — which Trump has repeatedly disavowed — as their sole basis for GOP action. And then they found a computer model that gave them the pro-Harris results they sought.
Presto: Here’s the science!
It’s silly and disingenuous. But it’s also deeply damaging to actual science because it sullies its reputation. By contorting “science” into something it’s not, liberal activists are actually engaging in a very specific form of Climate Denial: Their unabashed dishonesty, political manipulations, and brazen opportunism have created a climate where scientists can no longer be trusted.
It’s too bad. If you’re a true fan of science, this is not at all what you want. But that’s the reality today.
As it turns out, the biggest problems with science are the scientists.

Diddy: Epstien 2.0
Diddyforced a college freshman to take her clothes off under threat of violence and once she was undressed, he forced himself on her and fondled, molested and raped her … all while she was begging him to stop … at least according to a new lawsuit.
The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a woman in Tennessee, who claims she was only 19 years old and a freshman in college in 2004 when she got invited to Diddy’s photoshoot across the street from her college campus in Brooklyn, New York.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman says she was flattered and excited to receive an invite from a celebrity like Diddy … so she went to the photoshoot with one of her girlfriends, where she says they met Diddy and were invited to an after-party at a Manhattan area Marriott hotel.
The woman says she and her friend agreed to go to the party and they were taken to the hotel by a member of Diddy’s entourage … and when they got to the hotel suite and tried to mingle with guests drinking and listening to music, they were instead grabbed and taken into a separate room. She says she asked the guy who took her to the room where they were going and he responded, “You know what you are here for.”
He’s guilty as hell and ruined a lot of people’s lives. He’s about to get a nice Sunday surprise in prison, if he makes it.

More Evidence That Climate Change Is Bullshit – Former Google CEO on AI: “we’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway…”
As soon as money became the issue, see how little the climate scam mattered?
I got to work with Schmidt when I was with IBM. He told me that the do no evil was a lie back when Google stood behind it as a corporate mission. He basically said don’t trust him or Google and I don’t. This is more evidence that they (the climatards) were lying the whole time about the climate scam. They were just trying to get people to act the way they wanted to, also known as socialism. See the recycling story below on that.
… any moves to curtail the expanding amounts of energy consumed in developing … ever more advanced AI models are futile…
Eric Schmidt: Build more AI datacenters, we aren’t going to ‘hit climate goals anyway’
Perhaps the power-draining tech is the solution after all, posits former Google CEO
Dan Robinson
Tue 8 Oct 2024 // 13:00 UTCGoogle’s former chief Eric Schmidt thinks we shouldn’t let AI’s ballooning power consumption worry us, because putting AI to work on climate change issues will be our best shot at solving them.
Schmidt was speaking at a recent AI summit in Washington DC, and his comments echo those of Microsoft founder Bill Gates who expressed very similar sentiments at an event in London earlier this year.
…
“All of that will be swamped by the enormous needs of this new technology,” he said, adding that “we may make mistakes with respect to how it’s used, but I can assure you that we’re not going to get there through conservation.”
Schmidt further stated that he believes that “we’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it,” and that he would rather bet on AI solving the problems than constraining the development of the tech and still having the problems anyway.
This rather optimistic view of the Earth-saving potential of AI can perhaps be explained by the fact that Schmidt has his own investments in the technology. According to Business Insider, he is the founder of White Stork, a defense company that develops AI-powered drones.
There is too much money to be made on AI and they need the power. Let’s not let a little pollution or carbon get in the way of that.

Is the Myth of Plastic Recycling Finally Being Exposed?
It would become historic.
On March 22, 1987, the barge Mobro 4000, loaded with six million pounds of garbage and towed by tugboat Break of Dawn, departed Islip, New York. It was bound for Morehead City, North Carolina — but never did dock there. Instead, it spent the next five months at sea, turned away by multiple states and three foreign countries. It became big news when journalist Dan Rather called it “the most watched load of garbage in the memory of man.” But another load of garbage was the story the media spun about it. In reality, no one would accept the Mobro because of a rumor that it was carrying medical waste. But that’s not the narrative the media pushed.
It advanced the notion that the Mobro’s fate was a result of a lack of dump space.
The “solution,” of course, was recycling. The timing was perfect, too, as there already was increasing public concern about waste. Oh, never mind that, as Reader’s Digest reported decades ago, 1,000 years of America’s trash could fit in an area 50 miles square (one m2 per state) and 200 feet high — the average modern dump’s height. “Never let a crisis go to waste,” and this one wasn’t wasted: The story helped catalyze the recycling movement. The Mobro 4000 might have been adrift, but recycling proponents’ ship had come in.
Of particular concern, too, is plastic, with stories of the material polluting our oceans. But what if plastic recycling is a myth, if not a scam, that is not only wasteful but environmentally damaging?
Yes, it is one of the biggest scams in history and you can read about how little it really matters at the link above.
Don’t forget that getting the guilty to recycle is no different than lining up the sheep for a jab. It is to get a group to behave the way the government wants them to act. In other words, it’s just another step toward socialism through behavioral acts of perceived service. Socialism is just one step away from communism, what the assholes in DC want anyway.
Don’t be a sheep. Throw it away, just not on the street. It’s cheaper to treat it as garbage than as recycling as you can read and you are not helping the environment by recycling.

It’s Not Like They Were Helping Anyway
FEMA Says It Won’t Help in North Carolina Because It Feels Threatened By Locals.
The Biden-Harris Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says it has temporarily suspended certain Hurricane Helene relief operations in several North Carolina communities due to perceived threats against federal aid workers. According to FEMA, federal disaster relief operations were halted in Rutherford County after the agency received reports from the National Guard that an “armed militia” was allegedly threatening relief workers.
“For the safety of our dedicated staff and the disaster survivors we are helping, FEMA has made some operational adjustments,” an agency spokesman said in a statement on Monday. They added: “Disaster Recovery Centers will continue to be open as scheduled, survivors continue to register for assistance, and we continue to help the people of North Carolina with their recovery.”
It turned out to be just one guy, the whole NC militia was one guy, FEMA is just that incompetent.
Should have just let the locals fix everything and give them the money. They did the work and all the help anyway, them and Samaritan’s Purse

Charitable Organizations Step Up in North Carolina Amid Hurricane Helene Devastation
n the aftermath of Hurricane Helene—even before Hurricane Milton followed in its wake—nonprofit charitable organizations such as Samaritan’s Purse and Save Our Allies stepped up to help the storm’s victims.
The president of Samaritan’s Purse, Franklin Graham, told The Daily Signal in a telephone interview that one of the positive things he has seen is neighbor helping neighbor.
“If you’re going to sit in your house or your apartment waiting for the government to come—well, good luck. You’re going to be waiting a long time,” said Graham, the son of the legendary late evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham.

America’s Bi-Partisan Suicide Pact – Government Dependancy
The greatest moral hazard in American life is politics.
Many of you probably remember 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney being secretly recorded by a Democratic operative telling donors that “47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what” because they are “dependent upon government … believe that they are victims … believe the government has a responsibility to care for them … these are people who pay no income tax.”
Even I could have told you that accusing half the electorate of being a bunch of moochers was a bad idea. Coming from a fat cat like Romney, it reeked of snobbery.
Also, Romney happened to be correct.
And what he said then is even truer today. But in contemporary politics, asking citizens to pay for their own life is an act of self-immolation.
In a recent Gallup poll, an amazing 9 in 10 young women support socialized medicine, paired with higher taxes on the wealthy. What is the risk in backing pricey utopian experiments when there’s no bill coming in the mail? Now, if we flattened federal taxes and compelled everyone to pay their “fair share,” or even one-tenth of their share, for that matter, 9 in 10 young women would be hoisting Gadsden flags on their lawns and sticking “taxation is theft” bumper stickers on their cars.
That’s never going to happen, because the incentives of contemporary politics are dangerously distorted. The more the government spends, the less Americans expect to pay. The more dependency it creates, the less self-reliance it expects.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a new study that found a mind-boggling spike in government dependency. In 1970, safety-net funding accounted for the significant income in fewer than 1% of all counties in the country. By 2000, 10% of counties were getting a significant share of their income from federal and state safety-net and social programs. Today? More than half of all U.S. counties drew at least a quarter of their income from government aid.
While people on the Left like to grouse about “income inequality,” they never mention that every year, nearly $2 trillion, about the gross domestic product of a midsized European country, is transferred to low-income Americans through hundreds of programs, from Medicaid to food stamps to refundable tax credits. Right now, there are 42 million people on food stamps.
It would be one thing if the state were lifting citizens from poverty, but it is creating a permanent underclass.

Now We Know Why Harris And Obama Hate Columbus
A new DNA study on the 500-year-old remains of Christopher Columbus has found that the controversial explorer was actually a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe.
Spanish researchers announced their findings in a new documentary, titled Columbus DNA: The True Origin, which aired on Spain’s national broadcaster TVE. Since 2003, scientists have tested samples of remains buried at Seville Cathedral in Spain, believed to be the final resting place of the 15th-century explorer.
In the documentary, Jose Antonio Lorente, a professor of forensic medicine, who led the research at the University of Granada, said his analysis revealed that Columbus’s DNA was “compatible” with his being of Jewish origin.
Throughout the 21-year investigation, DNA experts compared samples of the remains with those of Columbus’s known relatives and descendants. “We have DNA from Christopher Columbus, very partial, but sufficient. We have DNA from Fernando Colon, his son,” Professor Lorente said, per CNN. “And both in the Y chromosome (male) and in the mitochondrial DNA (transmitted by the mother) of Fernando, there are traits compatible with Jewish origin.”
Obama hated any Colonization because of his Kenyan roots. Hell, he wouldn’t even keep the bust of Winston Churchill, removing it on day one. But then he hates America and Jews, and did everything he could to ruin it from within. He’s always been a racist.
Harris said:
It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous People’s Day as we speak truth about our nation’s history. Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas. But that is not the whole story.
That has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations. Perpetrating violence, stealing land and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on native communities today.

Stop Wasting Our Money Like this, And Taxes Can Go Down
Topline: The Biden-Harris administration is eclipsing the $1 trillion mark in improper payments, a new record for wasted money in a four-year term, according to a recent report from OpenTheBooks.com.
Key facts: Improper payments — money sent by the federal government to the wrong person, for the wrong reason or in the wrong amount — totaled over $800 billion from 2021 to 2023, adjusted for inflation.
That’s $450,000 every minute. In the roughly five seconds it takes to read this very sentence, the government will have wasted $37,500 on mistaken payments.
Medicaid and Medicare accounted for 43% of improper payments last year, but problems were found across the board. Dead people received $295 million, mostly from pension benefits the Office of Personnel Management sent to former federal workers who had passed away. Prisoners were paid $171 million.
The Internal Revenue Service spent $25 billion doling out fraudulent and mistaken tax credits, with some IRS programs reporting mistake rates above 30%.
The issue is not new, but it is getting progressively worse. Barack Obama wasted roughly 4% of his spending on improper payments in his second term. Donald Trump wasted roughly 5%, and Biden is approaching 6%.

Someone Less Likeable Than Kamala Not Campaigning For Her?
Because she’d do more damage than good. There is only a small cross section of people that like Michelle. Her history of grifting and America hating turns off a lot of people. The liberals and radicals already are in Kamala’s pocket so she doesn’t bring anything to the table there.
Many are wondering why exactly it is that former First Lady Michelle Obama is not campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris.
This comes, according to the Daily Mail, as Obama’s husband – former President Barack Obama – has hit the campaign trail for Harris, looking to stir up support for her in the final weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
In contrast, the former first lady has been far less active than her husband.
As we will see, though, this does not mean that she is inactive.
Here’s what is going on:
It was Politico that first reported recently that Barack Obama has decided to do some significant campaigning for Harris.
The outlet wrote:
The former president will appear Thursday at an event in the Pittsburgh area, the start of what will be part of a swing-state “blitz” through Election Day, said a senior campaign official, granted anonymity to discuss the schedule ahead of the announcement.
This so-called “blitz” is already underway, with Obama hitting the campaign trail on Thursday. In the process, he managed to stir up some serious controversy.
Obama is scheduled to continue holding rallies in battleground states through Election Day.
A spokesman for Obama said:
President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats across the country.

Black Men Not Being Sheep Anymore When Obama Tries Forcing Them Think Alike
Prominent black Trump booster Rob Smith has responded to the former president’s condescending screed over ‘brothas’ who are afraid to vote for Kamala Harris. In a now-viral reply, Smith tells Obama: “There is no amount of lecturing or bullying or shaming that you can do that is going to make me change that decision [to vote for Trump].
Having exhorted black men to embrace racism in the voting booth, Obama then suggested the same group’s sexism was at the heart of Harris’ problem with them:
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that. Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
“…And now, you’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down? That’s not acceptable.“
Obama’s remarks seem to reflect a growing sense of desperation — and they seem likely to backfire. It’s bad enough for him to publicly spotlight Harris’ weakness compared to his own performance, but it’s even worse that he felt the best way to remedy the situation was to publicly shame black men — to the point of saying, “you’re lucky Michelle’s not here” — and to accuse black men of sexism.
Well, it looks like it’s not just men, check this girl out.

Real Men Saw Right Through This, It Was The Missing Masculinity, Not The Gun
Kamala Harris is so desperate to win male voters that she actually sent Tim Walz pheasant hunting today with a film crew so he could appear all manly in front of the cameras.
Yeah, that’s going to be the thing that puts her over the top with men. Uh huh.
Where’s the guns? Is he hoping to take off his hat and scare the pheasants to death?
Seriously, does Kamala really think this is going to win more men to her side? She must be even dumber than I thought because men see right through this. It’s nothing but cringe-worthy political pandering.
I noticed the lack of a gun as I am a hunter, but what I really noticed was a lack of manhood. It was like everything Kamala does, staged. Everyone looks out of place or uncomfortable with the whole situation.
When he tried loading the gun, he looked like a rookie trying for the first time. They are simple to put shells in, unless you’ve never done it before, or much. It was staged and fake. Real men see right through this and know it’s bullshit.
It’s why they don’t deserve to be elected. They are fake and pretenders, not leaders. In this case, they aren’t even smart. Even non-hunters can see through this one.
The only thing missing is the Bud Light.

She’s Wrong, Like Kamala She’s Uniquely Unlikeable, And A First Class Asshole
She’s going from “Duchess Difficult” to “Princess Parody.”
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of the United Kingdom’s Prince Harry, has been practically writing a textbook on how to alienate the public — not to mention the in-laws — since marrying into the British royal family.
And now a new report claims that she’s wailing that the bad publicity is actually really bad bullying.
On Thursday, the celebrity-centric Vanity Fair published a piece positively reporting on a Meghan visit on Oct. 2 to the mentoring program Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara, California.
“We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world,” one of those who was part of the visit told Vanity Fair. (Emphasis added.)
“We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally.”
To be fair, the report didn’t quote Meghan herself as saying she was “one of the most bullied people in the world.” And the New York Post is citing sources that are disputing that she did.
But anyone who’s watched the former actress over the years, and the ongoing royal drama she and Harry have created, would not be surprised at all if Meghan actually made the claim.
Unlike her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, Meghan has spent years making the world think the worst of her.
Since becoming a royal by marriage with her 2018 wedding to the Knuckelehead Prince, Meghan has built a reputation for treating her staff savagely.
In September, The Hollywood Reporter described how her treatment of two Buckingham Palace aides sparked an actual palace investigation in the same year she got married.
Noting that her staff had given her the nickname “Duchess Difficult,” it quoted one source, apparently a current or past employee, calling her a “dictator in high heels.”
My edits here: Kamala has a 92% staff turnover and forced people to stand up, not look at her and address her as general when she was AG in California. They had the world at their hands and treated it like garbage and below their perceived status, Assholes.

WHO Admits Monkeypox Is ‘Side Effect’ of Covid ‘Vaccine’
They’ve been blaming it on homosexuals, who do have a higher incidence of monkeypox than other groups. They also have much riskier behavior all around, especially when it comes to the transmission of body fluids to other like sexual deviants.
It turns out that it’s in the vaccine cocktail of poison. Let’s look at that.
The United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted that “monkeypox” is actually a “side effect” of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”
The admission is buried on the WHO’s VigiAccess website.
The website contains a database that lists all known side effects of all drugs and vaccines that have been approved for public use.
Under “potential side effects” for the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the WHO lists “monkeypox,” “smallpox,” and “cow pox” among hundreds of other disorders.
They are listed under “infections and infestations” that emerge as “side effects” of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
The website is a searchable database that doesn’t provide direct links to the information.
However, you can find the information for yourself by following these steps:
- Visit the VigiAccess website
- Scroll to the bottom and click “Search database”
- Search for “BioNTech”
- In the list search results, click on “Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine”
- Click “Ok” in the Dialog Box that shows up
- Under “Reported potential side effects,” click on “Infections and infestations”
- Scroll down and continue clicking “Load More” until you see “Smallpox (15)”
- Continue scrolling and clicking “Load More” until; you see “Monkeypox (6)” and “Cow pox (5)”
It is the Simian DNA SV-40 that is the culprit. They also put HIV in the jab, but that is another issue.
Sorry if you got jabbed, but you need to know what you’re dealing with.
Not having to worry about being jabbed is much better. We’ll never regret that

Why A Wealth Tax Won’t Work
Second richest man in world is given as example of why UK wealth tax won’t work
‘If you want to grow taxes on the wealth side we have got a lot of wealth taxes already, like inheritance tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty. Sort out those taxes is the first way you officially start taxing wealth’ – Torsten Bell, head of the Resolution Foundation think tank
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves
One of Labour’s rising stars has jumped to the defense of Chancellor Rachel Reeves for dismissing a wealth tax on the richest people.
Torsten Bell, a former Treasury aide and chief executive of the Resolution Foundation think tank, argues that such a tax wouldn’t raise significant revenues. Despite Ms. Reeves’ highlighting a £22bn hole in public finances, she has shrugged off calls for taxing the nation’s wealthiest.
Supporting the Chancellor’s position, Mr Bell said it was not helpful in the wealth tax debate to compare the UK with the US, as the US has far more billionaires. “On the tax side it is very fashionable on the left to say ‘let’s just have a wealth tax’,” he explained. “For some of us who have spent 20 years working on tax policy, I think that is something that is exciting for them to write in books and not very useful in terms of helping govern the country. There are two reasons why that is.”
“The short reason why that doesn’t work in the UK is two words, Jeff Bezos. He does not live in the UK. And, yes, we do have some very rich people. But our wealth is nowhere near … we don’t have the globally rich people that the US, particularly, has lots of.”
Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla, is the richest person and the richest man in the world with a net worth estimated at $269bn. After Musk is Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. with a net worth in the region of $208bn.
He added: “You will have a brand new wealth tax and you are not going to bring in really significant revenues in the UK. Secondly, doing it is really hard. I am fed up of people saying the Government should do this then not getting remotely interested in the hard job of getting homes built… taxes that actually raise money.”
attack the rich never works. Get evenism is just a childish political ploy to divide people against each other. Rich people make other people rich. Give them the chance and watch free markets work

The Final Ruination Of Star Wars – ‘Star Wars’ Reveals Its First Transgender Stormtrooper
First of all, stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett. That means they are all the same. They are all trannies or none of them are. They are grown to act in obedience to orders, not defiance or pervertedness.
That is how Star Wars works when written correctly. Good vs Evil. Rebels vs the Dark Side of the Force. There is no woke or social justice warrior Karens, other than Disney and Kathleen Kennedy.
If they were trying to kill the franchise for good, this is one of the final nails in the coffin.
The audience, while being wide is still the geeks who collect action figures and believe in the story as it should be told.
Now this:
The introduction of the first transgender “stormtrooper” in the cherished sci-fi franchise by “Star Wars” has prompted split fan reactions.
The new trans character’s name will be “Sister,” and the stormtrooper was debuted this week in a new book called “Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers.”
The book featured images of the character dressed in armor painted in the transgender flag’s pink and blue hues.
“When one of our kind expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers, she featured [sic] she’d have to hide who she truly was inside. Fortunately, her brothers in the 7th Sky Corps gave her the name Sister as a constant reminder that she belonged,” the Star Wars Holocron X account posted.

FEMA Whistleblowers Allege Waste, Including Deployed Employees Sitting Idle in Hotels
The federal government has failed miserably in helping those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Mayorkas caused more trouble when he said FEMA doesn’t have enough money.
The letter doesn’t provide many specifics. I doubt Mayorkas will give any answers soon.
“FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds, misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground,” wrote Gaetz. “As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA.”
Gaetz continued: “We have confirmed FEMA employees deployed, on the clock, awaiting orders in the hotel. FEMA pre-disaster aid was withheld, exacerbating the emergency. It is also public that NGOs have purchased airline tickets for migrants through the use of FEMA funds.”
Gaetz wants Mayorkas to answer these questions by October 11:
- (1) What policies and regulations of the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA prevent emergency funds from being wasted on illegal immigrants, including what conditions are placed on grantees of the agency?; and
- (2) Of FEMA’s total budget for FY 2024, what portion of funds can be guaranteed to have been spent solely on American citizens, and what portion of funds was or may have been spent on noncitizens?; and
- (3) In FY 2024, what portion of funds in the Disaster Relief Fund have been spent on non-disaster-relief programs, such as providing services to illegal aliens or providing routine training to FEMA employees authorized out of general appropriations?

SpaceX Engineer In North Carolina Has Dire Warning: Biden-Harris’ FEMA “Actively Blocking Shipments” For Relief
A shocking firsthand account from a SpaceX engineer in storm-battered North Carolina reveals that Biden-Harris’ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) blocked shipments of critical goods for relief efforts into the region. There have been numerous reports this week of FEMA actively hindering relief efforts in the western part of the state, including threatening private helicopter pilots with arrests for conducting rescue missions. We also learned that the Biden-Harris administration drained FEMA funds to support illegal aliens, prioritizing non-citizens (future voters) over American citizens.
Around lunchtime, Elon Musk shared a dire message from one of his SpaceX engineers on the ground in the storm-ravaged state. Musk said, “FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!”

The Propaganda Press at Work: Shielding Doug Emhoff and FEMA’s Failures
If you have been awake these last several days, you will know all about how the aspiring First Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, publicly slapped a former girlfriend so hard she spun around. I believe, but am not sure of the chronology, that that was after Emhoff inseminated the nanny he and his former wife had engaged to, well, possibly to help him in his task of “redefining masculinity.”
Let us draw a veil. It is impossible to distribute air-sickness bags through the internet, and I do not want my readers left with so nauseating a spectacle as Kamala Harris’s repulsive husband.
I realize, though, that, should you be so unfortunate as to acquire your news from the Propaganda Press—from The New York Times or The Washington Post, say, or from CNN, MSNBC, or the other legacy media outlets, it is doubtful that you will have run across the true story about Emhoff.
The reason is that telling that story would violate The Narrative that the Propaganda Press exists to support—whatever that Narrative happens to be today.
As an aside, I have often wondered where the scribes and pundits that staff the ranks of the Propaganda Press go to get their daily marching orders about The Narrative. Does it somehow arrive with the morning oat milk and boiled, free-range egg? Or is it a subtler process, akin to the way bees perform dances to inform their fellows where the nectar is? I suspect the process may be closer to what happens when a body dies. Within minutes, or even seconds, various insects are attracted to the corpse. They lay their eggs, much like a New York Times reporter files his story and the putrefaction proceeds.
However it happens, the Propaganda Press is always au courant. Had Doug Emhoff been a Republican, you can be sure a detailed chronicle of his misdeeds would be swelling the news cycle like a distended corpse. Cast your mind back to what the media did to Mitt Romney—Mitt Romney!—when he had the temerity to run against The Chosen One in 2008. He picked on a kid in high school. He rode to a summer vacation spot with his dog on the roof of his car. Really, you can’t make it up.
Of course, that was small beer compared to the disgusting fury that was unleashed against Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in 2019.
Those looking for the origin story of this partisan smear machine often adduce the campaign against Judge Robert Bork during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court under Ronald Reagan. That unseemly episode, which had media trolls sifting through Bork’s trash and movie rentals for incriminating tidbits, culminated in Ted “Chappaquiddick” “waitress-sandwich” Kennedy’s scurrilous denunciation of Bork on the Senate floor. That original instance of character assassination even contributed a new verb to the language: to bork.
All that is one side of what the Regime Party is about. Another side has been on view these last several days as the destruction and human misery left in the wake of Hurricane Helene has haltingly become public. As I write, the official death toll of that disaster is somewhere around 300. Reports from people on the ground say it is much higher, probably around 2000.
Quite apart from the human toll exacted by the storm, there are two things to note about the response of our government and the Propaganda Press struggling to control what reports leak out about that response.
First, notwithstanding the efforts of the Propaganda Press to keep a lid on the facts, it is now widely known that FEMA, the chief federal agency in charge of responding to such disasters, has failed miserably. What initially sparked public outrage was Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s statement that, sorry, but the agency was out of money. He’d love to help but the “funds” were not there.
That was quickly followed by the news that, over the last 18 months or so, the Biden-Harris administration had spent some $1.4 billion to house, tend, and cater to illegal migrants (and how many billions have been siphoned off to Ukraine?). Hundreds of thousands of those migrants were salted around the country, especially to vulnerable counties in red states, where they were provided with cash stipends and housing at taxpayer expense. I note that Mayorkas, as head of the HSS, is also in charge (under “Border Czar” Kamala Harris) of that porous figment, the Southern border.
News that FEMA had plenty of money for migrants but none for the citizens of North Carolina and Tennessee was met with rage, especially as horrific stories of the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene piled up.
However, that fury was tame compared to the response to the news that not only was FEMA inert but also that it was actively hampering private efforts to aid those in distress. Probably the most high-profile such story came from Elon Musk, who described in several posts on X how his efforts to bring Starlink terminals to those without internet were being actively hampered by FEMA.
If it was Trump, the Emhoff would be nonstop until he is out of office for good. FEMA failure would be front page and the top of the hour, every hour.

Unearthed clip proves once and for all that FEMA has been hopelessly castrated by the left…
Not only has FEMA blown all their funds on illegals, leaving just a measly $750 for each desperate American, but Joe Biden—the so-called “president”—doesn’t even know which storm disaster he flew over to gawk at recently. While Americans are suffering and scrambling for help, Biden insists everyone’s as happy as pigs in you-know-what. Do you believe that? Of course not. It’s a cruel game of political smoke and mirrors.
Either Kamala is the most tone-deaf, out-of-touch person on the planet, or she just doesn’t care that you see her globalist agenda. Maybe it’s a bit of both. But it’s not just Kamala—the entire left-wing apparatus is running under the same dangerous globalist playbook. And if you think FEMA hasn’t been weaponized, think again. This unearthed clip is all the proof you need to see how yet another once-sacred institution has become a total slave to the progressive DEI agenda, which isn’t just sweeping the nation—it’s destroying it.
As you can see, FEMA is no longer focused on helping suffering Americans. Their priority now is pushing diversity and propping up the LGBTQ agenda.

Hurricane Helene Exposes A Deep Betrayal Of America
Americans across several states are suffering and attempting to survive under unimaginably harsh conditions, without food and water, in that aftermath of Hurricane Helene which tore across ten states in the Southeast last week, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. And a week later, these people have found that they are largely on their own, as all the real help that has arrived has come through the efforts of individuals and nonprofit groups such as Samaritan Purse, Mountain Mule Packers Ranch, Save Our Allies and Aerial Recovery, which has exposed the fact — to anyone who didn’t already know — that the Biden regime doesn’t give a good damn about them, as Biden and his minions have engaged in not just dereliction of duty but the worst betrayal of the American people ever witnessed, since the birth of the nation.
Joe Biden, the placeholder-in-chief, showed up in Georgia [10-3-24] to give lip-service to the disaster and made promises of money to come, some twenty million dollars, and a recovery that will supposedly be totally undertaken by the federal government. No one should hold their breath waiting on that help to arrive, but if it does, they can bet the farm it will come with the intent of helping Biden special interest groups and supporters first.
Americans should note: $20 million for the victims of Helene and well over $640 million for illegal aliens and approximately $180 BILLION for Ukraine. When does THIS Damned MADNESS Stop!?!
It’s an astounding matter that despite assertions of nineteen thousand National Guardsmen and FEMA workers already being on the ground in those states most severely affected, from Florida to Tennessee and Georgia and on to the horrific situation near Asheville, North Carolina, no one can find them, as FEMA workers are simply sitting in their trucks and sending out mass emails with an app for the victims of Helene to use to apply for financial help, rebuilding their homes, and most importantly finding a way to have food and water and medicines sent their way as soon as possible — THIS in areas where there currently isn’t electricity or any cellphone reception and internet.
It’s a curious thing to witness this tragic situation compounded by the inaction of the federal government and federal workers, agencies and the U.S. military all missing in action as the victims keep asking where all these mysterious government workers are supposedly delivering aid and much needed necessities to anyone.
Where is the federal government? No one has seen much of an inkling from it yet.
For survivors in the Asheville, North Carolina area, Mountain Mule Packer Ranch has left this number — 910-885-1402 — for anyone who knows of specific needs and areas where they can be of assistance with their mule trains.
The military should have been brought up immediately and released under Title 10 to immediately render aid throughout all regions devastated by Hurricane Helene which has killed over 224 people and counting to date, with thousands of more people missing and their whereabouts unaccounted, especially with Ft Bragg right there in North Carolina and Ft Benning in Georgia. Several individual volunteers like John Howard, with Aerial Recovery, have told of speaking with various military units that were on the ground but awaiting authorization and orders to release them to act, including two Air Force helicopters that were simply sitting idle at the Asheville Airport.

Biden/Harris/Walz Don’t Care About Lives Of Americans In Need
The Biden-Harris regime already has faced epic levels of criticism for being out of touch regarding the damage and death inflicted on North Carolina and several other states from Hurricane Helene, which cost some 200 lives and billions in damages.
After all, Joe Biden was lounging on a beach when the storm crashed into America and Harris was fully occupied – with fundraising events so that her campaign would have more cash.
“First, there was Joe Biden’s comments at the White House briefing on Friday, bragging about ‘jobs numbers’ yet saying virtually nothing about Helene. There was Secretary of State Antony Blinken posting about the humanitarian need … in Lebanon and giving them $157 million. Not to mention Samantha Power saying how they were providing Ukraine with transformers to help keep the power on there when so many are still without power in storm-affected areas here in this country,” the report explained.
But, the report noted, the chorus wouldn’t be “complete” without Harris’ agenda, “and she came through with her own comments about money being given to Lebanon.”

Why Women Don’t Make Good Men
Over the weekend, Spain’s first soccer team consisting only of biological women who think they are men competed against a men’s team.
The “trans men” lost the match 19-0.
But, according to Reuters, “for its fans and players, trans men having the right to play their favourite sport on equal terms is far more important than the score.”
Reportedly, the team adopted the name “Fenix FC” because it is named after a mythical bird that symbolizes birth. Last year, Spain passed legislation making it easier for people who believe they are transgender to change their legal identity.

Diversity At Work, Sinks Ship
They weren’t even at war. The captain can’t steer a ship.
New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process.
With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray.
The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

And There It Is, Why FEMA Is Incompetent – Diversity
You have probably seen many of the same videos I have, in which North Carolina residents are begging for help and wondering where FEMA is. Aside from funding migrants, that is. It seems to be doing a fine job at that, exhausting the funds that should be going to help Helene’s victims.
Here’s the underlying reason why they aren’t getting any help.
As always, get woke and go broke. They say there is no money for Hurricane relief. There is no money for republican voters.

BLM – Wearing Your Paycheck, All The Way To Jail
The former head of Black Lives Matter Atlanta was sentenced to prison for stealing donations to fund his lavish lifestyle.
Tyree Conyers-Page was sentenced to 42 months in prison after he was found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering earlier this year.
According to prosecutors, Page created a social media page named Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) and set up a GoFundMe to raise money.
Page maintained the BLMGA bank account and from April 2018 to May 2020 it only showed small transactions that never exceeded $5,000, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
However, after George Floyd died, donations came pouring into Page’s bank account “with June 2020 witnessing approximately $36,493.80, July 2020 around $370,933.69, and August 2020 an additional $59,914.69 in contributions,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
Investigators said Page used the money to buy property in Ohio, furniture and luxury items. Page also used the money to fund a flamboyant lifestyle which he showcased on his social media accounts.

David Axelrod Says the Quiet Part Out Loud as Biden Blocks Ongoing Rescue Efforts, Claims Hurricane Helene Victims in North Carolina Are Mainly Trump Voters Who Will Find it Hard to Vote
Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.
Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.
David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote.

Caitlin Clark, Rookie Of The Year, MVP In TV Ratings
The last sentence below is Angel Reese got one vote. What’s not said is that ratings and ticket sales are only a third of when she and the Indiana Fever are playing. This includes the playoffs which stopped being interesting to the country when the Fever were eliminated.
She is the show that people for the first time want to watch in the WNBA. She was cheap shot fouled all year and was trashed racially and sexually for being a straight white girl. The top racist was Dawn Staley, coach of U of South Carolina.
She played through it and got the reward, along with many records set. I hope the WNBA stops cutting its’ own throat and promotes her for the league’s sake, even if she doesn’t fit the mold and likes guys.
Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year, the league said on Thursday, receiving 66 of 67 votes from a U.S. panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
Television viewership records were smashed as sharpshooter Clark beat the all-time collegiate scoring record in her final year at Iowa, turning the sport of basketball on its head.
She kept the momentum going in a breakout debut year in the WNBA, setting the single-season record with 337 assists and the all-time rookie records of 769 points and 122 three pointers made.
Clark helped lead the Fever to their first playoffs appearance since 2016, where they lost 2-0 in the best-of-three first round to the Connecticut Sun.
“Thank you to the many people who have supported me as I’ve been able to live my childhood dream,” Clark said in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on this past year of my life.”
It was the second year in a row that a Fever player brought home the Rookie of the Year honor after Aliyah Boston won in 2023.

What Young Voters Want – Men Vs Women
FEMA – Fuck Every Mountain Appalacian
After Offering Only $750 Only To Those Who Lost Everything – The Regime Wants Appalachia To Suffer
Americans from Florida to North Carolina continue to deal with the devastating consequences of Hurricane Helene, now the deadliest hurricane to hit the US since Katrina. The stories emerging from the region are heart breaking. The economic damage to property and the infrastructure will take years to recover from. Large parts of the area will never return to what they were.
Many Americans may be unaware of the extent of the damage. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which received non-stop coverage on cable news for weeks, with primetime anchors like Anderson Cooper visiting on location covering stories of human tragedy and government incompetence, Helene’s aftermath has received far less coverage. It is on social media platforms like X where folks will find horrifying stories of the stench of death still strong in difficult to reach areas, the lack of government assistance for those in need, and the courage of private efforts serving the area.
Some of this is explained by the time period we are living in. Escalation in the Middle East. A national election is on the horizon. A court decision releasing documents allows the salivating press to re-litigate the events of January 6th, 2020 yet again. What cannot be ignored, however, is the extent to which the open hostility the nation’s most powerful institutions have had to the sorts of people that are overwhelmingly impacted by this storm, predominantly white, working class, and politically conservative.
This horrific natural disaster is a reminder of the extent to which the regime hates the people who live there.
This was true prior to Helene, where Washington policies have impoverished these areas with policies ranging from the national impact of inflation and financialization to more specific regional impacts stemming from regulatory policy with specific impacts on the region impacted. The immediate aftermath, however, demonstrates the extent to which state reaction to a disaster impedes voluntary efforts to quickly mobilize and assist those in need.
A combination of heavy-handed federal and state action has attempted to undercut recovery efforts, from grounding private helicopters seeking to rescue stranded victims, to the demands of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to stop citizens from flying drones near impacted areas seeking to locate those in need of help. Given the logistical strains that even the best organized response to a severe crisis would create, the voluntary organization of local human resources on the ground is essential to a meaningful and quick recovery. Here, the priority of government actors has been to elevate their control over the situation at the expense of these efforts.
The allocation of emergency resources itself is deserving of extended scrutiny as well. The victims of this tragedy, like all Americans, have their wealth extracted by Washington to fill the coffers of large federal agencies like FEMA. This same agency, whose nominal priority is to assist Americans in the case of emergency, is already pleading poverty. Of course, these same agencies oversaw the redirection of over a billion dollars in recent years to subsidize migration into the country. The priorities are clear, emergency funds take a back seat to a regime that cares more about new arrivals than the families who lived in this country for generations.
This predatory relationship between the regime and its citizens is systemic. The priorities of Washington will always stand in conflict with the people of Appalachia. DC sees no problem with ordering the Tennessee National Guard to the Middle East at a time when their fellow Tennesseans are facing their own crisis. This relationship is also bipartisan in nature. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who has become very rich off the backs of the people who elevated him to political power, ignoring the victims of Helene on social media, while very focused on Israel and Iran.
The regime will always prioritize its own interests, including the interests of what it has identified as their special privileged classes, over the interests of its people. Changing this parasitic relationship requires more than a change of political party in the White House, but a determined effort by those who seek to represent the interests of these people to strike at the root of this relationship.
Unfortunately, while elections alone are not adequate to address the victimization of Appalachia, it is reasonable to consider what impact the specter of politics is having on their current neglect. The counties most impacted by the storm disproportionately vote in ways the current regime does not like.
Would America’s federal government deliberately undermine recovery efforts to try to achieve its own desired political ends? Would the corporate press deliberately fail to cover the inadequacy of these efforts, hoping to prevent a candidate it fears doesn’t win?
For those who understand the true nature of the state, the answer is an obvious one.
Our prayers are with the victims of Hurricane Helene, that they receive the help they need as recovery efforts continue, that they have the ability to build back their communities strong, and that they will one day be free of a regime that cares so little for them.

Mayorkas Says FEMA Doesn’t Have Funds to Last Through Hurricane Season – Not only are billions going to Ukraine, but $640 million in DHS money went to indirectly supporting illegal aliens.
Whole cities in NC are being wiped out and forgotten by the Harris/Biden administration. Not only do they not care, they aren’t even pretending to care. Other than a photo op meeting and some token supplies, the only salvage and hurricane recovery being done is by churches and Samaritan’s Purse. North Carolina is flyover country and most likely will go red so they don’t care.
The one entirely liberal city in trouble, Asheville, is so blue it won’t matter what they do as nothing will change that area from blue to red.
In a staggering admission that is sending shockwaves through social media, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro N. Mayorkas admitted that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have enough funding to last through the remainder of the 2024 hurricane season.
The announcement comes as FEMA is conducting search-and rescue-operations in remote sections of Appalachia six days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and moved north, causing widespread destruction and the deaths of at least 183 people across six states. President Biden has in recent days approved major-disaster declarations for the states affected by the storm.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mr. Mayorkas told reporters on Wednesday while en route to meet with officials in South Carolina. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting — we do not have the funds, FEMA does not have the funds, to make it through the season.”
The proposal to grant the agency more money may work, but it will require members of Congress to return to Washington, D.C., and provide the necessary legislative approval.

The Next Bud Light Of Sneakers?
Nike (NKE.N) shares fell about 8% in early trading on Wednesday after the sportswear giant withdrew its annual revenue target, leaving investors guessing on the timeline for a turnaround under incoming CEO Elliott Hill.
The company on Tuesday also called off its investor day set for Nov. 19, while CFO Matthew Friend said pulling the outlook would give Hill “much-needed flexibility to evaluate Nike’s strategies and business trends”.
“Just how quickly a turnaround can happen is up in the air … There’s not anything really that I could say at this point gives us a definite timeline or early hints to what is in store for the future,” said Jessica Ramirez, senior analyst at Jane Hali & Associates.
Last month, Nike named veteran executive Hill as CEO in place of John Donahoe as demand dropped and rivals such as On Holding and Hoka gained market share, especially in high performance and innovative running shoes categories.
The company’s forward price-to-earnings ratio for the next 12 months, a benchmark for valuing stocks, was 27.98, compared with 27.08 for Deckers (DECK.N) and 35.14 for Adidas (ADSGn.DE).
Hill is set to take over on Oct. 14 and investors were pinning their hopes on the analyst day for clarity on Nike’s strategy until it canceled the Nov. 19 event. Nike did not provide a fresh date.
“These next few months as we go into year end, (Nike is) going to leave investors with a lot more questions than answers and we didn’t get any answers,” said Jay Woods, chief global strategist at investment banking firm Freedom Capital Markets.
Nike said on Tuesday it had to offer higher promotions to help drive sales in the quarter and signaled a weaker holiday quarter even as it expects a “slight second half improvement” in revenue from the launch of new premium models.
Most things in Portland are not like the rest of the country or world, and that is where they are headquartered. They are famous for being in bed with China as well as the most woke of athletes and causes.
They have billions to burn through before they have an issue, but there are a lot of people that are tired of their woke crap. I buy anything other than Nike just on their liberal woke principles. alone
If they are going to sponsor athletes who hate the rest of the country (Kaepernick, James, Rapinoe, etc) than you deserve your fate.
I’m glad that Tiger Woods is out of their grasp now.

Gen Z is Quiet Quitting Higher Education for Trade Schools
The young men and women of this country want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They are beginning to chart a new course that doesn’t include indoctrination programs from elite colleges and universities.
Early last year, The Independent Review published an intriguing article: Hyperpoliticization of Higher Ed Trends in Faculty Political Ideology, 1969–Present.
The authors, Phillip W. Magness (senior research faculty and director of research and education at the American Institute for Economic Research) and David Waugh (managing editor at the American Institute for Economic Research), assessed complex data obtained from surveys that evaluated the political views of higher education faculty [e.g., Carnegie Commission on Higher Education Faculty Survey (1969–1984), UCLA-Higher Education Research Institute Faculty Survey (1989–2016)]. The information confirms trends that Legal Insurrection has long noted: Since 2001, 2001 higher education faculty positions have taken a hard, and “professors on the political left are now approaching a supermajority.”
While their findings are interesting, a question they pose about the future consequences of this development is prescient.
A hyperpoliticized academy does not bode well for students, faculty, or anyone interested in serious learning. For many students and for an increasing share of the general public, this has turned the educational experience from one of intellectual pursuit into pure activist sophistry. The only remaining question, then, is how long the public will continue to pay for a university system that no longer aligns with its values or educational priorities.
The answer is: Not much longer.
Unfortunately for the leftists dominating American higher education today, graduating students still have to earn a living. So, Gen Z is beginning to vote with its feet and is opting for 2-year trade schools free of hyped-up moral outrage and outrageous expenses.
Community colleges offering vocational programs witnessed one of the highest numbers of student enrollment in fall 2023, as students opting for higher education showed a slight improvement overall from declines seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.
Those community colleges with a focus on vocational programs saw registrations climb 16 percent, an increase of 112,000 students, substantially higher than the rate seen before COVID, when it rose 3.7 percent. Associate degree programs jumped more than 2.2 percent, to 96,000 students.
The interest in vocational education began to see increases in sign-ups going back to three years ago, Jennifer Causey, senior research associate at the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, told Newsweek.
“Since Fall 2021, vocational programs have started to see upticks in enrollments, and specific program families such as Mechanic Repair Technologies grew 11.2 percent this fall alone,” she said.

Key House chairman to ask Congress to repudiate Democrats’ J6 findings in face of new evidence
No, Donald Trump didn’t grab the wheel of his presidential limousine and try to commandeer it. Yes, Nancy Pelosi felt responsible for security lapses at the Capitol, including the failure to pre-position National Guard there.
There’s no doubt that Trump did in fact order the Pentagon to send troops to secure the capital city ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, certification of electoral votes, but political and military brass declined to do so. And yes, there were both intelligence and security blunders by police that led to the breach of one of America’s most storied buildings.
The last two years of investigations by Congress and Just the News have whipsawed the original, official narrative of what transpired during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Now the man who has helped uncover much of the contradictory evidence, House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., is planning to ask his colleagues to take the extraordinarily rare step of officially repudiating the December 2022 findings of the Democrat-led House Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the U.S. Capitol led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming.
“My intention is to bring the House floor a resolution that lays out all the evidence that we found that contradicts the evidence that they supposedly or the narrative they put in their report because future generations need to know, do not use this document that the select committee produced as any reflection of a historical record,” Loudermilk told the “Just the News, No Noise“ television show on Thursday night.

Heckofva Job There Biden/Harris With Help With The Storm. Feds Won’t Help, But Can Give Billions To The Ukraine
Hurricane Helene: Biden, Harris, and the National Media are Missing in Action
Legal Insurrection reported Sunday on the havoc wreaked by Helene across the southeast Friday and Saturday, particularly the devastation that unfolded in western North Carolina and their neighbors in eastern Tennessee by what remained of the hurricane once she hit those areas.
Some mistakenly believe that once a weather event stops being a hurricane or tropical storm, the cities that are still in the path of what’s left are, for the most part, in the clear.
But that is most certainly not the case, as Helene had been downgraded to a tropical depression before she reached the mountains and foothills of North Carolina. By the time she moved on, rain totals for some areas reached as high as nearly 30″, leaving historic flooding in her wake.
The images and videos, of course, are staggering. Heartbreaking. This is an area where it’s not uncommon to hear about mudslides/landslides simply from having a few hours of rain from a random storm that rolled through, causing temporary road closures. Unlike the NC coast, it’s simply not built to endure that much rain and high winds.
As far as national news outlets go, they’re covering it but much of what I’ve seen has been frustrating, as they’re treating it like it was merely a bad storm and not something that quite literally has changed the topography of a large swath of the western part of this state.
As for Biden and Harris, the POTUS was indeed at the beach this past weekend and Harris indeed was participating in swanky fundraisers out west, the optics of which were horrible and which would have been slammed by the Usual Suspects had our president been a Republican. Their insensitivity absolutely should be called out. Their rules and all.
But beyond that, Biden has pretty much done what he needed to do in an official capacity to pave the way for federal assistance. And both he and Harris have issued statements about the situation:
During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Trump accused President Joe Biden of “sleeping” at his beach house in Delaware and dragged Vice President Kamala Harris for holding fundraising events in California over the weekend “when big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane.”
[…]
Harris has been briefed by Criswell, according to the White House, and Biden has approved disaster declarations for numerous states and major disaster declarations for certain counties that will help provide temporary housing assistance, as well as grants and low-interest loans to help people with home repairs. Both urged the public to take the storm seriously ahead of landfall.
[…]
Biden was at his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, over the weekend, where he received briefings about Helene’s devastation from Criswell and Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall, according to the White House pool report. He urged the agencies to speed up the deployment of search and rescue teams into North Carolina, where people are stranded without cell service or electricity.
None of them are red states and so they don’t care. They crucified Bush on Katrina, but at least he went there and sent Federal help.
They are doing as much as they do on the border, less than nothing but let the country disintegrate.

With Good Reason, More Americans Are Skipping College
Is college still worth it? According to Newsweek, millions of Americans are just saying “no.”
Why? Because, according to a new poll, many see universities as a place where political agendas replace useful skills, and they walk away with $300,000 in debt that cripples them for life.
In fact, college enrollment is down 2.5 million since COVID-19, while the share of 18- to 26-year-olds working in the trades has gone from 25% pre-pandemic to 31% today.
Meanwhile, a recent Gallup survey found only a third of Americans—of all ages—say they have confidence in universities: 32% said they have little or no faith. That’s a big drop from just a decade ago, when 57% had faith and just 10% did not.
Of those who lost faith, 41% said liberal indoctrination has taken over, while 37% said college doesn’t teach relevant skills. The rest cited the cost.
It’s a theme that people are figuring out that colleges are just indoctrination factories. While there are a few good ones (see the story posted below) and there are a few degrees needed for advanced education, the social bullshit they put students through is being exposed as not worth it.
Also, in the theme of woke that I’ve been on, people are tired of it and a lot of it starts with colleges.
