US Navy Oiler Runs Aground, Forcing Carrier Strike Group to Scramble for Fuel – DEI Strikes Again

Remember when regular guys were bad and we had to have a majority of anybody except straight, white, Christian men? Well the cows came home.

Captain has received multiple reports that the US Navy oiler USNS Big Horn ran aground yesterday and partially flooded off the coast of Oman, leaving the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group without its primary fuel source.

First reported on the gCaptain forum and by maritime historian Sal Mercogliano, a leaked video and photos show damage to the ship’s rudder post and water flooding into a mechanical space. US Navy vessels don’t typically transmit AIS signals, so we don’t know the exact location of the ship but a Navy source confirms she is anchored near Oman awaiting a full damage assessment.

Fortunately, no injuries or environmental damage have been reported for the ship. This is significant because the 33-year-old vessel is one of the single-hull versions of the Kaiser-class oilers.

Diversity ruins everything it touches. Get the best you can find instead of a rainbow of everyone so that no one can be offended.

College Admissions Expert Wonders if Ivy League Schools Are Still Worth the Investment

College admissions expert sends shocking message about Ivy League prestige: ‘Is it worth the investment?’

What’s in a name like Harvard, Yale, Brown or Princeton? If you ask college admissions strategist Greg Kaplan, the answer might surprise you.

It’s an age-old question that resonates among a slew of ambitious soon-to-be college students and their aspirational parents caught in the fervor of the rankings race, pursuing the dream of “going Ivy” – or having some other elite university’s name stamped on their resume – with unrelenting zeal.

But Kaplan warns that such tunnel vision can obscure what truly matters in the search for success.

“We really have to ask ourselves, ‘what are our kids learning at these schools and is it worth the investment?’ Because if they’re going to be exposed to this groupthink where there’s no room for civil discourse, that is unacceptable because they’re not equipped to go into the real world. And what you see is our young people who are getting fired from tech companies because they’re using their jobs as a chance to do political protest, and then they’re complaining about it,” Kaplan said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

“We really have to ask ourselves, ‘what are we getting in return for this? And are they going to be able to do what they want to do?’ It’s okay to spend less on college because guess what? That allows you to invest more in their futures, so I think when someone says, ‘I’m going to community college, I’m going to transfer,’ that’s fantastic. You’re increasing the return on investment.”

The California-based expert works with families to help students gain admission to colleges of their choice – looking beyond recognizable names to help students get accepted to schools that are great matches for them.

What Could Be Better? Two Democrat Bitches Fighting Each Other At Election Time

When prominent Democrats squabble, the prudent thing to do is not to choose sides, but rather to cheer for disharmony.

After all, nothing could better serve the cause of freedom than to watch America’s worst tyrants tear each other apart.

Monday on the social media platform X, CNN’s Jake Tapper posted a statement from Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan blasting Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, a daughter of Palestinian immigrants, for what Whitmer characterized as “antisemitic” comments that Tlaib directed toward Dana Nessel, the state’s Jewish Democratic attorney general.

“We must all use our platform and voices to call out hateful rhetoric and racist tropes,” Whitmer’s statement read.

The statement came one day after Whitmer, in an appearance Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” told Tapper that she would not get involved in the Tlaib-Nessel controversy.

Congress Takes Big Step Toward Dismantling Biden-Harris Admin’s Electric Vehicle Mandate

It was a loser who tried to force a bad solution that didn’t work on people who didn’t want them. Good riddance.

The House passed a bill Friday that would overturn the Biden-Harris administration’s de facto electric vehicle mandate if it becomes law.

By a 215-191 vote, the House approved H.J. Res. 136, a bill that would vacate the Environmental Protection Agency’s tailpipe emissions standards for light-duty vehicles if it passes the Senate and is signed into law by President Joe Biden. Eight House Democrats crossed the aisle to side with Republicans in favoring the bill, while one GOP lawmaker—Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick—voted against the legislation.

Why are Michelle and Barack Obama so closely linked to rapists and sex traffickers?

Isn’t it strange how Barry and Michelle Obama are so closely tied—in friendship and lifestyle—to convicted rapists and accused slavemasters and traffickers? That’s the question many people are asking again as we witness the downfall of Obama’s good friend, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Shadow of Ezra:

After the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest and indictment of Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy,” the music industry has been rocked by a series of major resignations.

These departures are allegedly tied to claims that the infamous “freak offs” were actually organized and funded by some of the most powerful CEOs in the music world.

The truth is, Diddy was one of them—he was part of the Obama orbit, running in the same circles, befriending all the same people. Everyone knew who he was and what disgusting stuff he was up to. So, why did they decide to destroy him? Maybe Mr. Diddy fell off the progressive wagon or threatened to expose the wrong person in some misguided fit of rage. In the end, they likely decided it was safer to bring him down “Epstein-style” than let him keep his power. That’s likely what happened with Harvey Weinstein too, a convicted rapist who Michelle Obama called a “wonderful human being,” a “good friend,” and a “powerhouse.” He probably stepped out of line, and they had to take him down as well.

It’s just very curious how the Obamas were “good friends” with two of the most notorious woman abusers of all time, and they did nothing to stop it.

Even the liberal cat ladies over at Snopes couldn’t hide the truth about Michelle and Harvey.

Now this:

Professional networking platform LinkedIn has confirmed that it automatically uses personal user data to train artificial intelligence (AI) models without first informing its members.

The California-headquartered company said in a Sept. 18 blog post that it has updated the privacy policy element of its terms of service to include language clarifying how it uses the information shared with it “to develop the products and services of LinkedIn and its affiliates, including by training AI models used for content generation (‘generative AI’) and through security and safety measures.”

The platform said that there is an opt-out setting for members when it comes to using their data for generative AI training.

LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, which has invested heavily in OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT. According to the FAQ section of the platform’s website, the AI models used to power generative AI features may be trained by LinkedIn or another provider, such as Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service.

T!TS For Trump, Trying To Out Do The Hawk Tuah Girl

First of all, my favorite line in the whole story is the cop who said she had a seriously great set.

She’s his breast supporter.

An OnlyFans model who shut down the New York City-to-Dublin portal last spring proudly flashed Donald Trump during his rally Thursday night — saying the stunt was part of her larger fundraising effort, called “Tits for Trump.”

Ava Louise, 26, made headlines in May when she flashed the downtown Manhattan portal, which was subsequently shut down. On Wednesday night, she showed off her assets again within full view of Trump and thousands of attendees at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, video obtained by The Post showed.

She jumped up and down and cheered along with the crowd in hopes of giving the Republican White House nominee, 78, an eyeful. It’s unclear if he spotted her.

While the other MAGA diehards in the audience seemed to appreciate the gesture, a police officer stationed in the crowd immediately pulled Ava and her boyfriend out of their seats, Ava told The Post.

Here it is:

The Secret Service at the venue, however, was more sympathetic, and supposedly convinced the disgruntled cop to let Ava and her boyfriend leave without issue, she alleged.

“Seriously, great set,” a man who appeared to be a federal agent in a khaki polo shirt can be heard complimenting Ava in a video provided to The Post.

The agent even nodded at Ava’s boyfriend, telling him, “Nice job, bro.”

And In NY – NY COVID Czar Attended Drug-Fueled ‘Lockdown Sex Parties’ While Crafting Policy To ‘Force’ Vaccinations

What a prick. Screwing the public while screwing around, completely doing the opposite of what he was making the public do. They all knew Covid-19 was a hoax.

Dr. Jay K. Varma, New York City’s former top public health advisor during the pandemic, was caught on camera bragging about attending drug-fueled sex parties and dance events, even as he instructed millions of New Yorkers to stay home and socially distance. The bombshell revelations have sparked outrage across the city, with politicians and residents alike accusing the former official of blatant hypocrisy.

The footage, released Thursday by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder, shows Varma, who served under then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, detailing his pandemic escapades, which included hosting a sex party in a hotel room and attending a massive underground dance party beneath a Wall Street bank.

“I had to be kind of sneaky about it,” Varma admits in the video, speaking casually to a woman off-camera. “I was running the entire Covid response for the city.”

At the time, public health officials in New York, like those in cities and countries around the world, were frantically seeking to contain the virus and Covid’s rising death toll by encouraging people to wear masks and avoid large gatherings. New York City schools were abruptly closed beginning in March 2020. Indoor dining in restaurants was forbidden. Masking indoors in public places was mandatory. –NYT

“I’m gonna make it really fu*king hard to be unvaccinated,” Varma told his undercover date. “I actually was the one who convinced the Mayor to make it a mandate[vaccine].”

How To Ruin The Air Force – Documents reveal Air Force ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ joining officer ranks – More DEI

As always, Democrats hate the military and law enforcement.

The Air Force finally handed over a trove of documents pertaining to its sweeping “goal” of reducing the number of white male applicants in a popular officer program after spending months stonewalling requests for their release.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas and details how it hopes to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.

The documents reflect the Biden-Harris Pentagon’s intense focus on implementing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the armed forces, even as the military continues to combat dwindling morale among its rank-and-file, recruiting and retention shortfalls and low pay.

These ‘Extroverted’ Behaviors Annoy Introverts the Most – Especially Numbers 7-15

When someone feels the need to fill the silence with meaningless chatter while avoiding topics that actually matter

If you’re an introvert, you’re probably well aware that we live in an extroverted world. As Susan Cain pointed out in her bestselling book, Quiet, Western culture is shaped by the extrovert ideal — the belief that the “best” person is outgoing, highly sociable, and thrives in the spotlight.

However, introverts make up 30-50 percent of the U.S. population, and many of them find certain “extroverted” behaviors quite annoying.

Reasons Women Should Stop Wearing Bra’s

Since women have never worn bras for most of human history, it raises a simple question. Might there be any downsides to the practice?

• Pain — Bras can cause chronic back, rib, neck, shoulder, and breast pain, often tied to restricted breathing. Many women find relief when they take their bras off, yet they continue wearing them in public due to societal expectations.

What is remarkable about this is that most women recognize this (e.g., a survey of 3000 women found that 46% of them enjoy being able to take their bras off at the end of the day,15 while another 3000 women survey found 52% take it off within 30 minutes of getting home16). During the pandemic, many women stated they stopped wearing a bra once the lockdowns allowed them to work from home and, hence, did not “need” one.17

• Breast shape — There’s an ongoing debate about whether bras worsen breast shape over time, potentially increasing sagging. While the evidence is limited, some like this gynecologist18 suggest that not wearing a bra could be cosmetically beneficial, challenging the marketing claim that bras maintain youthful breast appearance.

• Metal allergies — An estimated 17% of women are allergic to nickel,19 commonly used in bra underwires. This can cause skin reactions, yet the industry, wishing to maximize savings, has been slow to offer nickel-free options.

Note: Nickel is found in various products like buttons, glasses, and belts, so if unusual skin symptoms appear, especially in a specific area, a nickel allergy should be considered.

• Impaired circulation — Bras compress the breasts, potentially impairing circulation and lymphatic drainage (as lymphatic circulation is very sensitive to being obstructed by external pressure). This could explain issues like headaches, indigestion, and an even higher risk of breast cancer due to lymphatic stagnation.

• Breast cancer — The most controversial topic is the potential link between bras and breast cancer. While major cancer organizations deny this connection, some holistic and even mainstream sources21 argue that lymphatic stagnation,22 worsened by bras, could contribute to cancer development. Though not widely accepted, the possibility remains a point of concern.

In turn, there is some evidence to support the contention that bras are linked to breast cancer. Specifically:

• A 1991 Harvard study of 9333 people23 that found “Premenopausal women who do not wear bras had half the risk of breast cancer compared with bra users.”

• A 1991 to 1993 study of 5000 women24 that found:

◦ Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer.

◦ Women who wore their bras for more than 12 hours but not to bed had a 1 in 7 risk for breast cancer.

◦ Wearing a bra less than 12 hours per day dropped breast cancer risk to 1 in 152.

◦ Women who never or rarely wore bras had a 1 in 168 risk for breast cancer.

For reference, this is 4 to 8 stronger than the association between smoking and lung cancer and is discussed further in the book “Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras.”25 Furthermore:

  • A 2009 Chinese study found that avoiding sleeping in a bra lowered the risk of breast cancer by 60%.26
  • 2016 Brazilian study of 304 women found women who were frequent bra wearers were 2.27 times more likely to develop breast cancer.27
  • A detailed 2016 meta-analysis comprised of 12 studies found wearing a bra while sleeping doubled one’s risk of breast cancer.28

5 Things You Need to Know About the Fed’s Rate Cut – A Pessimist Would Think It’s Rigged

The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates marks a new chapter in the D.C. Cartel’s long march toward the bankruptcy of our nation.

Although the Fed’s move to cut rates and expand the money supply may provide some relief from higher interest rates for consumers and businesses, it does so at the expense of fueling the fires of inflation.

158 Democrats Voted Against Deporting ‘Non-Citizens’ Who Commit Violence Against Women

Who are the Female haters now?

One-hundred fifty-eight House Democrats voted Wednesday against a resolution put forward by South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace that would designate noncitizens convicted of sex offenses or domestic violence inadmissible to and deportable from the U.S.

Two-hundred fifteen Republicans voted in favor of the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, with no one in the party opposing it. Meanwhile, only 51 Democrats voted in favor of the resolution, with 158 voting against it. Mace, who introduced the resolution, told the Daily Caller that “158 Left-wing members of Congress just voted against deporting rapists, pedophiles and murderers of women and kids.”

Meanwhile, Democrats have been largely silent on their vote against the resolution. In May, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler explained his opposition to Mace’s resolution, saying the bill is “dangerous.”

And Now We Know How Most Of Congress Became Millionaires – ‘Mind-boggling’: Billions gone and little to show for it years after rampant COVID fraud

I’m not discounting their insider trading, but a lot of money was tossed around when they were confusing people on Covid as they told them how to act and behave.

Years after the passage of federal COVID-era relief and the subsequent loss of likely hundreds of billions of those taxpayer dollars, lawmakers are still unsure where that money went, how to get it back, and seemingly have done little to prevent it from happening again.

Federal watchdog and other reports estimate anywhere from $200 billion to half a trillion was lost to waste, fraud and abuse across various federal and state COVID-era programs.

“Insiders, including those who worked for state workforce agencies, conspired with organized crime factions and other individuals to defraud state UI programs and the states did little to stop them,” a Republican-led House Oversight Committee report released this week said. “Some states even hired individuals convicted of identity theft to process UI claims.”

The ‘Muslim Martin Luther’ Has Been Convicted of Rape

Tariq Ramadan, a Muslim intellectual who has been one of the foremost exponents, at least to non-Muslims in Europe and North America, of Islamic reform, has been convicted of rape.

It is impossible to overstate how shocking this is for those who have praised Ramadan to the skies for so very long. For many years, Tariq Ramadan was the darling of the Western intelligentsia. In 2002, Salon hailed him as “the Muslim Martin Luther.” In 2004, Time Magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world today. In 2012, Foreign Policy included him on its list of the top 100 global thinkers “for telling us that Islam and democracy can go together — just when it matters.”

“Virtually anything” is actually an understatement. One of his accusers said he subjected her to “blows to the face and body, forced sodomy, rape with an object and various humiliations, including being dragged by the hair to the bathtub and urinated on.” His sadism appears to have been, if one allegation is true, closely intertwined with his celebrated Islamic piety: another one of his accusers said he told her he was raping her because she didn’t wear a hijab. In a similar vein, as more and more women began to accuse him of rape, one of those accusers has already been beaten and threatened.

What would your life be like without music?

What would your life be like without music?

Although I am a trained musician with years of theory, the absence of music affects me like a lot of people. It is a part of much of my time, both physically and mentally.

I have it going anytime I exercise, which is nearly every day. I have biking playlists (3 hours) and gym playlists. Hell, this morning, I was listening to soft music at the driving range. While it doesn’t seem logical, I have a waterproof iPod that I use when swimming. I do miles at a time so it’s not your basic up and back and be done. That would be a lot more tedious once you go over 100 laps.

Where it gets me though is when I’m listening to a song (usually while driving) and it brings back a memory of a relationship or a time in my life. I relive it in my head and likely write pages in my diary about it. It is usually about growing up because the best music was from the 70’s.

I’m sure everyone does it, but I doubt they explore it in writing to flush out everything that happened when that song was on the radio.

Lately, I’ve forced myself to listen to songs that remind me of my cheating girlfriend who was a traveling whore (stewardess). I try to make myself see if I have any feelings and there is nothing left. I’ve emptied that tank other than the fact that it happened. I’m mostly grateful I didn’t wind up with her ass, being miserable.

Mostly, I’m very happy to feel the time in my life when my responsibilities were few and life was carefree and deadline free.

The Biased Press In Europe

‘Trump Sowed the Seeds’: German Media Blames Trump For Assassination Attempts

This is ridiculous, bordering on mentally deranged (TDS). I know Trump challenges their power base because there always is a bigger fish (Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace).

Well, they showed their hand. (full story at the link above)

Hours after a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump in Florida, the European — particularly German — media outlets were back to their vicious self, blaming the former U.S. president for the second attempt on his life within just two months.

“The right-wing rhetoric threatens everyone,” leading German newspaper Die Tageszeitung declared in its headline reporting the thwarted assassination attempt.

Leading German newspapers, never shying away from stoking anti-Trump sentiment in the country, portrayed the former U.S. president as the real culprit.

“After the first assassination attempt on his life, former President Trump said the divisive rhetoric had to stop. Does anyone remember this? Exactly.” the newspaper wrote feigning irony.

The newspaper apparently showed empathy for the supposed ‘worries’ of the failed assassin if Trump were to win the election in November.

“Perhaps [the would-be assassin] was really worried that under a second Trump presidency the U.S. would simply abandon Ukraine,” Die Tageszeitung speculated. “But at least the concern about Ukraine’s future after Trump’s re-election is real and shared by Ukraine itself and its allies in Europe,” the newspaper empathized.

They are delusional. The only time there hasn’t been a war in the last 4 presidents (or more) was under him. Trump has made a point of stopping the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a priority.

They want war. It creates under the table money and for the press, headlines. Remember, if it bleeds, it reads.

Germany of all countries has little to be able to criticize others about. They’ve blown their energy policy, immigration, manufacturing, EV priority, and electing leaders.

To claim that his rhetoric caused the assassination attempts is as crazy as the 1930’s for them.

Also, stay out of our country’s business and politics until you can get yours to the point where it’s not completely wrong, just wrong.

How far $100 goes in each US state

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, she is a Cnut.

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

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

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

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

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

How do you celebrate holidays?

I avoid them as much as possible.

I hate my birthday because the only real birthday happened a long time ago.

Christmas starts in September now and I’m fatigued by the time it comes. I don’t think most people believe in the real reason for Christmas anyway. They just want to decorate and get gifts. I question their sincerity when they are all nice in the season, yet give me the finger while driving.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Bud Light Of Science Journals

Mocking Ensues After Scientific American Endorses Kamala Harris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

source

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

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

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

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

Source

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EU Mandate here:

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

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

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

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

Why Most Trump Haters Hate Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABC News affidavit released – They Gave Kamala The Questions

Donna Brazille admitted that she gave Hillary the questions before her Trump debate. The media is just the propaganda arm of the democratic party.

Here you go:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now this:

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

So Russia said:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hydroxychloroquine Was Effective On Covid-19 – Oxford University

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boeing Union Goes on Strike, Halting 737 Production

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Floride In Drinking Water Linked To Lower IQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Italy Seeks Reversal of EU’s 2035 Combustion Engine Ban

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wow. Who would have guessed?

Read what the AI systems had to say.

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

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

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

More, so much more

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

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

“Since I took office,” Biden posted, “we’ve recovered all the jobs lost during the pandemic. And added over 6 million more.”

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

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

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

EU Countries: Most to Least Expensive

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

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

Bernie Sanders On Kamala, She’s Lying To Win

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

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

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

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

Williams-Sonoma sued over its racist DEI hiring policies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When thinking deeper about the question and including the population of the world, the clear answer was disloyalty. That is the end of a relationship for me. Once that line is crossed, I can’t go back. Once you stab me in the back, that’s it.

Shout out to my college girlfriend who slept around I found out afterwards. This blog is for you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes, Here’s How Your Phone (And Facebook/Google/Amazon) Is Listening To you

Millions of people have long suspected it, but now a leak suggests that our phones really are listening to us. 

An apparent pitch deck from one of Facebook‘s alleged marketing partner appears to detail how the firm eavesdrops on users’ conversations to create targeted ads. 

In a slideshow, Cox Media Group (CMG) claims that its ‘Active-Listening’ software uses AI to collect and analyze ‘real-time intent data’ by listening to what you say through your phone, laptop or home assistant microphone.

‘Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market consumers,’ the deck states. 

The pitch deck goes on to tout Facebook, Google and Amazon as clients of CMG, suggesting they could be using its Active-Listening service to target users.

How Kamala Is Running The Same Content Free Campaign Biden Did

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[LISTEN: Kamala Harris: The Machine Candidate]

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