Irony of Dockworkers Strike A Union Boss Should Not Be Running the Economy Don Surber The International Longshoremen’s Association went on strike on Tuesday, a move that undoubtedly can dash Kamala’s hope of being elected president. Harold J. Daggett, president of the ILA since 2011, a job his dad once held, has more power over the national economy than anyone, including the Hobo of Rehoboth Beach and Jay Powell. In a video, he explained what this strike means: “You know what’s gonna happen? I will tell you. First week, be all over the news every night. Boom, boom. “Second week, guys who sell cars can’t sell because they’re coming in off their ships. They get laid off.  Harris's Bald-Faced Lies – Endorsed by CNN Mark Alexander So, Election Day is five weeks away, and here is what we know for sure about the chameleonic candidate Kamala Harris. She has based her presidential campaign on both Barack Obama's deceptive 2008 blank screen strategy and Joe Biden's 2020 media avoidance strategy. While Harris outshines Biden's dullard non compos mentis dribble, Obama was, in Joe Biden's assessment, "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." In other words, Obama had an abundance of charisma. But the real Kamala Harris is vacuous, grossly inarticulate, and clearly lacks any charismatic depth. And she is actually not "African-American" either. |

| IDF: Hezbollah Was Ready to Invade En Masse After Oct. 7; We Covertly Raided 1,000 Sites -- PHOTOS The Israel Defense Forces revealed Tuesday that even before it officially launched ground operations in southern Lebanon earlier in the day, its troops had conducted dozens of secret cross-border raids throughout the current war, destroying numerous Hezbollah positions, tunnels and sites. The army also disclosed that days after Hamas’s October 7 mass onslaught in southern Israel, thousands of terrorists had been positioned near the Lebanon border in a plan to storm the Galilee and unleash similar carnage there. |
|
| The IDF Is Exposing All the Delusions That Drive Biden-Harris Mideast Policy Post Editorial Board Let’s all give thanks to the Israel Defense Forces for the operations that have not only gutted Hezbollah, but at long last took out the thugs most responsible for the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that slaughtered 220 Marines and 21 other U.S. service members. Seven U.S. presidents had failed to bring that basic justice. Bigger picture: Israel’s steady flow of deftly targeted attacks has eviscerated Hezbollah’s leadership and its rocket stocks – and back-footed the civilized world’s ultimate enemy in this conflict, the cabal that controls Iran. |

| Netanyahu Warns Iran: There Is Nowhere We Cannot Strike Israel’s prime minister has warned Iran there was “nowhere in the Middle East” that Israel could not strike after troops were ordered to prepare for an invasion of Lebanon. In a speech in English directed at citizens in the Islamic Republic, Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran was heading towards the “abyss” in a possible prelude to a direct war with the regime. |

| To Hell With Concerns About a 'Wider War.' Let Israel Win. Rick Moran Something is different. Perhaps it's the directness of Israel's threatened response to Iran's missile salvo on Tuesday. “This is a grave violation,” the Israel Defense Forces spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, told reporters Tuesday evening.“This attack will have repercussions. We have plans, and we will act at the time and place of our choosing.” An unidentified official told Kan News that the Israeli response will be “unlike anything we’ve known until now. " Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a videotaped message to the people of Iran that an Iranian attack would trigger a strike on “strategic” targets inside Iran. |

| Blinken Hailed the Biden Admin’s ‘Clear-Eyed’ Approach to Iran in Op-Ed Ahead of Missile Attack Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended the Biden administration’s policy toward Iran as a major success in an essay published today, just before the Islamist regime’s missile attack against Israel, hailing the White House’s handling of foreign policy more generally. “The Biden administration’s strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago,” wrote Blinken, in an essay for the November issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. | “Bad-Ass” Blinken proves to be a foreign affairs cipher |
| The New York Times Weeping for Hassan Nasrallah Shows How Deep Media Rot Runs Post Editorial Board Terror master Hassan Nasrallah is dead at the hands of the heroic IDF, and the New York Times is very upset. Per the paper’s simpering posthumous piece on the former Hezbollah chief – killed in a daring airstrike on the headquarters of his murderous cadre – Nasrallah was a “gifted orator” who “maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.” The piece’s headline ran, “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World.” | |
| Remembering the Flood of 1916 It’s hard to believe the great Flood of 1916 that ravaged Western North Carolina took place over 100 years ago. The Flood still lives on in the hearts and minds of Asheville area citizens, and it is still known as ‘the flood to end all floods’. The Asheville Citizen, using a borrowed gasoline engine to run its presses, described the devastation caused by The Flood in its July 17, 1916, edition:“Exacting an unknown toll of death, with a property loss exceeding three million dollars, Asheville today is absolutely isolated from the outside world, is a city of darkness void of ordinary transportation facilities, and finds herself helpless in the grasp of the most terrible flood conditions ever known here.”  |

Consumers’ Research, a consumer advocacy nonprofit, sent letters to three major companies that have made similar commitments to warn them they are exposing themselves to potential litigation. Now, attorney generals in four states are contacting those companies to say the comparisons between their statements and those of JBS are “stark” and “raise real concerns.” |

| An Imprecise Biography Catches Up with Tim Walz John McCormick – Wall Street Journal  Minnesota
Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that “I need to be clearer” after a series
of misstatements and exaggerations about his experiences and biography
have created a distraction for Democrats weeks before the election. The
vice-presidential nominee suffered his worst moment in Tuesday’s debate
with Republican VP nominee Ohio Sen. JD Vance when he tried to explain
years of repeated false statements about being in Hong Kong during the
Tiananmen Square protests in China. Walz also has gotten into trouble
for past claims including about his National Guard retirement rank and
a 2018 comment about “weapons of war that I carried in war” when he was
never deployed in a combat zone. | |
| Walz Fumbles: Harris’ Energy Failures Take Center Stage at VP Debate Power the Future In this week’s Vice Presidential Debate, Governor Tim Walz struggled to defend Vice President Kamala Harris’ disastrous energy policies. While Walz tried to put a positive spin on Harris’ record, the facts spoke for themselves. Harris’ green agenda has been a nightmare for American energy workers, and Walz’s attempts to defend it fell flat. As Power the Future Executive Director Daniel Turner said following the debate: “Tonight JD Vance spoke the perfect truth: American energy is the cleanest energy in the world period.” | |
| Scratch a 'defender of democracy' Like Eric Ciaramella – He's a Venal Biden Hack Post Editorial Board Remember Eric Ciaramella, the intelligence community lackey generally credited with sparking off the first Trump impeachment frenzy? He’s widely ID’d as the anonymous accuser who in 2019 claimed the then-prez had made Ukraine military aid conditional on an investigation of Biden family corruption in the country. Yet when Joe Biden did exactly that – threatened to axe Ukraine aid over a political demand – Ciaramella didn’t do a thing, as Paul Sperry reports at RealClearInvestigations. | |
| Is Your Car Safe? Biden’s New Ban Could Wipe Chinese Tech Off the Road – Here’s What It Means Marco Micheletta The White House bluntly identified China and Russia by name as threats to American roads and drivers this week.

| Not Parody: Babylon Bee v. California Samantha Koch We seem to have reached peak insanity in our country these last few years, so it should come as no surprise that the natural progression of things would require taking legal action to secure the right to tell a joke. That’s the situation that the presidents of parody over at the Babylon Bee are currently facing. They are now enmeshed in a battle for the ability to put out the type of content that they have become known for: funny content. Content that pokes fun at the woke and capitalizes on the nonstop stream of lunacy the Left provides on a near-daily basis. The legal battle comes in response to two recent bills that were signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom after he vowed to ban parody political ads on social media in the Golden State. |

| Silent Majority: Poll Finds Independents Are Far More Conservative Than They’re Willing To Admit Issues & Insights If conservatives want to win elections, they don’t need to rile up the base, they need to convince independents to say in public what they believe in private – that they agree with conservatives on most issues and that Democrats are the wildly out-of-touch extremists. That, at least, is one way to read a fascinating new survey from Populace, a non-partisan think tank in Massachusetts, which figured out a way to discern what 20,000 Americans think privately and compare that to what they are willing to say publicly. |

| Female Voters in Battleground States Care About Far More Than Just Abortion Penny Nance Women are the most coveted voter block in America. More women than men have voted in presidential elections since 1980. Even though the voter gender gap in the 2020 presidential election was narrower in than it was in 2016, the media widely acknowledged that women decided the 2020 election. My prediction is that 2024 will be no different. But this election season, the prevailing narrative about women’s priorities could not be more wrong. |

| 218,000 People in Ariz. Who Did Not Provide Proof of Citizenship Will Be Allowed to Vote, Despite Requirement An estimated 218,000 Arizona residents haven’t provided proof of citizenship but will still be allowed to vote anyway. Because of a glitch in Arizona’s election system, 218,000 residents were allowed to register to vote without proving their citizenship status. The citizenship status requirement exists because of a law passed in 2004. However, nine years later the Supreme Court intervened and said the law may only apply to local and state races but not to federal races. |

| Team of Migrants Arrested for Allegedly Looting in a Hurricane-Ravaged Community Disaster-stricken east Tennessee confronted another crisis Saturday as eight foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly looting in a hurricane-ravaged community. Late last week, as Hurricane Helene bore down on the Southeast, data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed the extent to which the Biden-Harris administration’s open border had allowed convicted criminals to illegally enter the country. Saturday in Washington County, Tennessee, it appeared that even the documented were not without fault as Sheriff Keith Paxton announced the arrest of eight migrant workers, said to be stateside on work visas, alleged to have been looting properties. |

| Feds Charge Five Michigan College Graduates from China Found Near Military Site Federal prosecutors charged five University of Michigan graduates from China with several crimes on Tuesday night, after they were allegedly discovered at a military facility in northern Michigan last year. The graduates were caught with cameras at the facility during a joint training exercise between U.S. national guardsmen and members of the Taiwanese military in August of 2023, according to the Detroit News. The indictment comes amid increased scrutiny regarding national security threats and a series of incidents regarding Chinese nationals trespassing on U.S. military grounds. | |
| Kemi Is Right – Not All Cultures Are ‘equal’ Rakib Ehsan Kemi Badenoch’s perfectly legitimate view, that ‘not all cultures are equally valid’ when it comes to deciding who should be allowed to settle in the UK, has been greeted with outrage from the usual suspects. The UK Tory leadership contender made the point in a piece outlining her approach to immigration for the Sunday Telegraph. She writes that Britain is not simply ‘a dormitory for people to come here and make money’, and that migrants’ cultural backgrounds matter, too. ‘We cannot be naïve and assume immigrants will automatically abandon ancestral ethnic hostilities at the border’, she adds. “Immigrants soon find their place in urban life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a long time they remain foreign to civic thought. One cannot make a social philosophy one’s own as easily as a new costume. . . More menacing than barbarians storming the walls from without are the seeming citizens within – those who are citizens in gesture, but not in thought.” –Ludwig von Mises, "Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis", p. 38 (1922) |

The 89-year-old widow grew up in the former Yugoslavia, where she saw the horrors of Communism firsthand. She came to the U.S. because she thought it was a bastion of freedom and liberty, however, she now finds herself facing time in prison for trying to convince women not to kill their unborn babies. When Edl was six, the Nazis invaded her homeland. Even though her family had German heritage, the Nazis considered her father an “impure Aryan” and sent him to the front lines.

But many detransitioned individuals have taken their stories to social media and grown large followings as they spread awareness about the dangers of so-called “gender-affirming care.” | |

Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed into law a bill banning local voter identification requirements. The bill was a response to an effort by the Republican-leaning city of Huntington Beach, which approved a ballot initiative in March to require municipal election voters to show identification. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber quickly sued the city to prevent its implementation, claiming that the law's implementation would hurt minorities. |

Inadvertently Reveal Shocking Truth About Global Warming Tyler Durden A funny thing happened when the Washington Post tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the "disaster of global warming" ... WaPo journalists cited a new study about Earth's global surface temperatures over the last 485 million years... The trend shows Earth's temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years. Maybe, just maybe, the level of human-caused global warming doom porn pushed by the government, corporate media outlets, global NGOs, and far-left billionaires is not as apocalyptic as they make it sound. Which of course means (and as we knew), all those idiot kids running around the West, throwing paint on private jets and artwork, and gluing their hands to highways, are doing it for nothing – and are indeed in a cult. |

| To ‘Empower Patients’ –
First Dispel Seven Myths Deane Waldman, M.D. & Vance Ginn, Ph.D As Vice President Kamala Harris hides her support for Medicare for All, covertly championing her belief that healthcare is a fundamental human right, it becomes increasingly urgent to confront several myths that cloud the healthcare debate. Harris’s plan, echoing progressive rhetoric of universal coverage, hinges on the assumption that all necessary health care can and should be provided by government to every American, both those legally here as well as illegal immigrants. Before considering any reform of healthcare, we must address several widely accepted but fundamentally flawed beliefs that undermine our understanding of the healthcare system. |

| Trump’s Authentic Anger Versus
Kamala’s Phony Joy Noel S. Williams  Harris's
handlers try to portray her as joyful, and Trump as angry. How dumb can
they be? How dumb do they think we are? Harris’s supposed joy
is
sickeningly fake, but Trump’s anger is righteous. Emotions of
anger are often viewed negatively; in fact, change agents often
experience anger, and they are also optimistic. Those traits are not
mutually exclusive, but often mutually dependent. Indeed, angry people
are often more optimistic. |

| How the Pentagon Betrayed President Trump on January 6 Jack Cashill On January 6, 2021, nearly five hours passed between the breach of the Capitol perimeter and the arrival of a National Guard contingent ready and waiting to deploy just ten minutes away. Had the National Guard arrived within that first hour, “January 6” would have no more historical resonance than any other day on the calendar. Any number of people bear the blame for this calamitous security failure, but that list does not include the two most frequently cited scapegoats, the D.C. National Guard or President Donald Trump. |

| 'A Mess': CNN's Scott Jennings Sums
Up the Terrible Day That Kamala Harris Just Had Rebecca Downs  On
Wednesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris gave another trainwreck
interview, despite how she was once again speaking to such a friendly
source, MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. Matt highlighted some top moments
earlier. Between this interview that Harris gave, and President Joe
Biden's appearance on "The View," where Harris was referenced, CNN's
Scott Jennings referred to Wednesday as "a mess" for the Democratic
nominee. "I think today was a mess for Harris," Jennings said to sum up
the day. "I mean, Joe Biden went on 'The View' today and said he
delegated all sorts of authority to her on domestic policy. We know
that the Biden administration's not popular on domestic and economic
policy. She gave a speech today saying we gotta move past the policies
that people think have failed. Well, people think the last four years
are a failure." he continued, speaking about Harris. And those events
that Jennings referenced all happened even before the interview that
took place during the 7pm hour came up. |

During a policy speech at The Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Harris emphasized her "middle-class upbringing" and pledged to "build a strong middle-class," with proposals she's rolled out in recent weeks like increasing the tax break for new small businesses and giving a $25,000 credit to first-time homebuyers. |

"The American economy... is the most powerful force for innovation and wealth creation in human history. We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don't work.

| Georgia Doctors Speak Out to Challenge
Misinformation on State's Abortion Law, Death of Amber Thurman; Counter 'Fearmongering' Two Georgia lawmakers who are also doctors experienced in emergency medicine are speaking out against what they say is media "fearmongering" about the Peach State's abortion laws in light of recent reporting on the tragic deaths of two women from the state. ProPublica's reporting on the death of Amber Nicole Thurman last week sparked controversy over Georgia's heartbeat law, which states that "no abortion shall be performed if the unborn child has a detectable human heartbeat except in the event of a medical emergency or medically futile pregnancy." Thurman died in Georgia after taking abortion pills and suffering complications. According to ProPublica reporting, doctors at Piedmont Henry Hospital waited a prolonged period of time before performing the necessary dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to remove the dead fetus, which is not an abortion, out of reportedly being in fear of facing legal backlash due to the state's abortion law. |

| Indiana Judge Rules Prison Must
Provide Transgender Surgery for Inmate Who Killed Baby A federal judge has ruled that it would be unconstitutional for an Indiana prison to deny a transgender inmate sex reassignment surgery following the inmate's lawsuit against the facility. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Corrections last year on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellionè, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001. Indiana law, however, prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment." |

The one thing all my jobs had in common is that I actually had them. I can provide details about each of them – what the job entailed, where it was, co-workers, funny stories, etc. – because I actually did them. Kamala Harris hasn’t done anything of the sort with the “job” at McDonald’s, which makes me think she’s lying about it to cover for the fact that she grew up a wealthy, privileged child of two tenured professors. |

The answer is: Not much longer. |

and Socialism Were the Answer? Tim Worstall It’s really pretty weird how a magazine for doctors turns out to have the answers to the entire socieoeconomic system we live under. But then I guess that’s what we get when we allow a magazine for doctors to be run, edited, by an avowed Marxist. For that’s where we are. The Lancet now has a “Planetary Health” section. As The Guardian reports: "Consumerism and the climate crisis threaten equitable future for humanity, report says. The Earth Commission says hope lies in sustainable lifestyles, a radical transformation of global politics and fair distribution of resources." |

| Exploding Pagers Might Give China
An Idea Washington Examiner Israeli intelligence services have delivered a devastating and highly impressive blow against Hezbollah, the Iranian terrorist proxy based in southern Lebanon. Inflicting serious damage on a terrorist organization should be celebrated. But the Israeli method has the additional benefit of being a warning that the United States should be wary of continuing to rely on Chinese supply chains for critical goods in our economy... Take the ubiquitous iPhone. Despite Apple being an American company, key components of almost every iPhone, including the battery, processor, and camera, are made in China. While China does not have access to Apple’s source code, or at least so it is believed, the Chinese Communist Party’s dominance over the country’s private sector affords it great latitude of action. |

| This Is the Most Deliciously
Devious Part About Israel's Exploding Pager Attacks Victoria Taft As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house. Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical. Three thousand beepers exploded this week, killing a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists and some innocents. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye in the attack. After that attack, Hezbollah began using walkie-talkies, and they exploded.  |

| ‘Anxious’ Kamala Harris Is on Track
to Have Fewest Interviews of Any Nominee – and Even Dems Are Nervous Diana Glebova, Steven Nelson and Caitlin Doornbos Kamala Harris is giving the press – and Americans – the silent treatment. The vice president is on track to grant the fewest interviews of any major party’s presidential nominee ever – and it’s not just because she entered the race historically late… Carole Lieberman suggested that Harris suffers from “Imposter Syndrome” – doubting her own qualifications to be a heartbeat from the presidency. “Her cackling, grimacing and large hand movements are reflections of this anxiety,” she added, noting that “Kamala was able to stifle her cackling” during her Sept. 10 debate with Trump – but “made up for it with bigger grimacing.” |

| Tim Walz Spreads Lie That Trump
Wants to ‘Monitor All Pregnancies’ Mary Chastain VP candidate Tim Walz cannot stop lying. In Ashville, NC, Walz spewed the lie that former President Donald Trump wants to create a government agency to monitor pregnancies. They keep trying to tie Trump to Project 2025, but even that doesn’t call for the government to monitor pregnant women. Walz said: “Trump is trying to create this new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies to enforce their abortion bans.” Walz and Kamala Harris cannot stop spreading this lie.  Kamala's Abortion Lies Nina Bookout For the UMPTEENTH time there is no ‘abortion ban!’ Kamala’s abortion lies are being bought by the lemmings hook, line, and sinker. According to Kamala and those pushing the killing of babies as so-called ‘reproductive care,’ women are dying because hospitals are refusing to provide care for pregnant women, thus killing them. Only one big glaring problem. Kamala and the media are lying. Harris, Walz Muddy the Waters on Their Extreme Abortion Positions Ashley McGuire “Come on.” That was Vice President Harris’ response to Donald Trump in the presidential debate when he pressed her for any gestational limit on abortion. Would she, he asked, “allow abortion in the eighth month, ninth month, seventh month?” “Come on,” and a smirk. That’s all she had. That’s because that is, in fact, all she and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, have when actually forced to come up with any limits on abortion they would support. They oppose any and all protections for unborn babies and their mothers, including minors, and apparently, babies born alive from botched abortions. |

Attack in Quest to Flip Lower Chamber Meghan Blonder As they work to take back the House in November, Democrats are accusing Republicans of voting for legislation that would "make abortion a crime and punish doctors with jail time." But the bill they cite does no such thing. Instead, it requires physicians to care for babies born following botched abortions. Several Democratic groups targeted Republican Reps. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Anthony D’Esposito (N.Y.), Nick LaLota (N.Y.), Marcus Molinaro (N.Y.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), and John Duarte (Calif.) in ads centered on H.R. 26, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. |

But, far more important than what is or isn’t in the 900-page policy tome, which is mostly a set of Human Resources guidelines, is that it has absolutely, positively nothing to do with Donald Trump and never has. |

| The Rise of the Keffiyeh Karen The New Generation of Activists Are Workplace Terrors Zoe Strimpel  When
Black Lives Matter created the figure of the Karen, it was a sign of
that movement’s darker, bullying qualities. What exactly was wrong with
a white middle-aged woman who asked to speak to the manager when things
were unsatisfactory? But if that original Karen caricatured the wrong
person, then there are some modern female types that deserve closer
scrutiny. There is the person I like to call the Keffiyeh Karen – the
female student with a bare midriff and her head wrapped in the black or
red and white patterning of Palestinian liberation, yelling
anti-Zionist slogans with manic passion on elite college campus
quadrangles and lawns... If there is one type to be afraid of in modern
offices, it isn’t the lech or the shouty, hungover male middle manager.
It’s the twenty-three-year-old gluten-free vegan graduate, wet behind

| Sweden Will Offer Migrants $34K to
Go Home Sweden is offering migrants $34,000 to leave the country. In saying "we are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our migration policy," Migration Minister Johan Forssell said Sweden would increase its offer almost 35 times to entice migrants to go home beginning in 2026, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. The current Swedish government program to entice migrants to leave – $976 per adult, $488 per child, a cap of $3,903 per family – is little used and was taken up by only one migrant in 2023, Forssell said. |

Troopers found the group in the border town of Normandy, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. Fifteen of the migrants, from Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and South Africa, were arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass. |

In response, the Biden (mis)Administration is attempting to shovel IRA funding out the door as fast as it can to contractually shield it.” Early this month, Lucas Davis, a Professor in Business and Technology at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, published an article titled: How Do We Pump Up the Impact of Heat Pump Subsidies? In April, Professor Davis published a precursor article titled: Why Are Heat Pump Sales Decreasing? |

| Cost of Driving Electric Car Up to Twice the Price of Petrol or Diesel Times of London Britain’s public charging network is so expensive that the cost of driving an electric car is now up to twice the price of running a petrol or diesel vehicle. The UK has more than 12,500 rapid or ultra-rapid charging stations – a 40 per cent increase on a year ago – but data shared with The Times shows they cost an average of 80p per kilowatt hour (kWh), making the switch to electric cars prohibitively expensive for motorists who do not have access to cheaper at-home charging. |

| 10 Fundamental Questions That
Climate Pant-Soilers Never Answer Chris Martz Here are 10 fundamental questions that climate pant-soilers never answer. "1) 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." No adherent to the Global Church of Climate Alarm has provided any coherent answers to these questions, mainly because they can’t. Climate “science” is not a real science at all, but a mere exercise in rigging statistical models using bastardized data and illogical assumptions to produce pre-determined outcomes. The entire thing is in fact a dogma-based religious cult. |

Would Force It to REDUCE Its Black Workers by 30% Selwyn Duke With 2021 diversity training, Coca-Cola earned the moniker “Woka-Cola” by advising employees to “try to be less white.” But now the company may become more white. That will be the result, anyway, if Coke follows through on a pledge to enforce new diversity goals. That is, to align their employee racial, ethnic, and sexual demographics with U.S. census data. Meeting these goals would require the company to cut its black-employee representation by 31 percent. Asian-descent hires would also be reduced – by 33 percent. |

In 2001, 19-year-old Jonathan C. Richardson strangled his 11-month-old stepdaughter while her mother, Linda Thomas, was at work. He showed no remorse for the crime, later telling a prison official, “I killed the little [expletive, expletive].” He was convicted and sentenced to 55 years in prison. |

Several elementary school teachers told WGN Radio they were instructed by school administrators to give their migrant students a 70% grade in every subject and approve their move up to the next grade, even if the children demonstrated severe academic deficiencies. Complicating matters, none of the elementary school students in these teachers’ classes spoke any English, while the teachers spoke no Spanish. The schools did not offer classes to teach English as a second language. |

In a clip posted Tuesday to the social media platform X, Pastor Mark Driscoll of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, told his congregation that a local government official had asked him to remove a “Jesus Christ ’24” sign from church property – a request to which Driscoll responded with firm defiance. “We will not comply, but we will multiply,” the pastor wrote in a corresponding post. |

ABC News came under significant bipartisan criticism because its moderators fact-checked some of Donald Trump's statements but not a single pushback at any made by Kamala Harris.

Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports headline-grabbing job-creation numbers, then quietly cuts that number in subsequent months – often by huge amounts. The latest report is no exception. The headline Friday is that the economy created 142,000 jobs in August – a figure that is close to economists’ expectations and that prompted CNN to cheer “The sky is not falling.” But buried in the report is the fact that the BLS sharply cut the number of jobs created in both June and July. |

| Gabbard Has a Message for Garland
After He Vowed Not to Allow the DOJ to Be Used As a 'Political Weapon' Rebecca Downs On Thursday Attorney General Merrick Garland made some rather tone deaf remarks claiming that the Department of Justice's (DOJ) "norms" are "a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon." Garland was promptly called out for such remarks, by the Trump-Vance campaign, as well as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. In response to Ingraham pointing out that Garland's remarks came so recently after the Trump-Harris debate on ABC News, Gabbard offered, "it's hard not to laugh at his statement where he tried to sound so serious, and so convicted, and so grave about never ever politicizing or weaponizing these government agencies when in fact that is what they are doing currently and what they have been doing for years," including during the Trump administration. |

Made Tens of Millions of Dollars Off Trump NYC Case Cristina Laila | Gateway Pundit America First Legal sued Judge Juan Merchan for financial disclosures amid reports his daughter’s political firm has made tens of millions of dollars off of his trial against Trump. Juan Merchan is the far-left, conflicted judge who oversaw Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial against President Trump. The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump. Judge Merchan Sued for Financial Disclosures Amid Concerns of Daughter's Democrat Work America First Legal (AFL) is suing New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan for refusing to turn over his financial disclosures amid questions about his daughter’s work at a Democratic firm, Fox News Digital has learned... The lawsuit comes after the AFL sent a demand letter last week for Merchan’s financial disclosures, threatening legal action. The AFL previously requested those records in June... "This is especially important given the fact that Merchan appears to have engaged in unlawful campaign contributions and is on the precipice of criminally sentencing the former president of the United States," Epstein said. "Fundamental fairness dictates a resolution of America First Legal’s suit in its favor." |

But, Robinson may have visited the White House up to 16 times in that period. Two nearly identical names are found in the logs with different middle initials. If both entry types refer to Robinson, then it is possible that he visited the White House a total of 16 times. Both names include visits with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris several times since the beginning of the Biden administration. |

He took to X to share a message that everyone needs to hear, regardless of whether or not you believe the hype. “In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants,” he wrote. “It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false. Do you know what’s confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases–like TB and HIV–have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don’t know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can’t afford to put a roof over their head.” |

Residents of Springfield, Ohio, a town of about 60,000 people, have been complaining recently about the influx of some 20,000 Haitian immigrants over the past three years, which has transformed their community in profound and disturbing ways. Some have claimed the Haitians are stealing people’s cats and dogs and slaughtering them to eat. Others have said they’re grabbing ducks and geese from the local park and decapitating them. |

As for the local birdlife, geese and ducks are being eaten, with police reports to corroborate the allegations. Even a fact check done by local media on that story's angle hasn’t negated it. If anything, it might have shined a light that this problem has expanded. I’m talking about the viral picture of the migrant holding a dead goose – that was not in Springfield but nearby Columbus. |

In the early morning hours of August 19th, an unnamed, long-haul big rig driver was traveling along I-80 northeast of San Franciso. Much of the state was already going up in flames because of the summer wildfires, but the region near Emigrant Gap was still relatively untouched. Shortly after three in the morning, the driver failed to navigate a curve in the highway and went off the road, crashing into some trees down a short slope. Thankfully, the driver escaped with only minor injuries. The crash was only the beginning of the driver's problems, however. |

| Biden-Harris Cuban Visa Program Endangers National Security, Senators Argue U.S. senators are demanding answers about another visa program expanding entry to Cuban nationals they argue “further endangers our national security.” They sounded the alarm after a Cuban American congressman said nearly 115 Cuban regime agents are illegally living in south Florida. Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to explain why a nonimmigrant visa (NIV) program was expanded through the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba. The NIV “does not serve America’s interests,” they said. “It only benefits Cuba’s cruel, adversarial regime – a designated State Sponsor of Terrorism (SSOT) – and further endangers our national security.” Because the State Department has designated Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria as SSOT, they also asked if it was granting NIVs to citizens from all SSOT countries. |

The bond release goes contrary to the wishes of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which had sought detainers for both men. But since nearby Denver is a sanctuary city, local officials don't cooperate with ICE. |

Acting as Agent for Beijing A Florida engineer has pleaded guilty to acting as a Chinese agent to collect intelligence on dissidents and U.S. nonprofits and firms. Li Ping, a 59-year-old U.S. citizen born in China, on Aug. 23 admitted to conspiring to act as a Chinese agent since at least 2012. Under the direction of the Ministry of State Security, China’s top intelligence gathering agency, Li collected a wide range of information on the targets of the Chinese regime, including pro-democracy activists, practitioners of the persecuted faith group Falun Gong, and the telecom and tech firms he’s worked at, court filings show. |

Plot to Attack New York Jewish Center on Oct 7 A Canadian man was charged on Friday for an alleged plot to attack a Jewish center in New York City on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 terror attacks in Israel. Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who was born in Pakistan but lived in Canada and was an alleged supporter of the Islamic State (ISIS), was arrested after a complaint was filed in the Southern district of New York. The suspect had been intending to travel to Brooklyn to carry out a mass shooting, the Department of Justice alleged in a press release. |

Fire – Destroys Apartment Building, Flames Spread Six people were injured after a massive fire broke out early Friday at an apartment building in Chinatown and spread to a nearby structure, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. The fire erupted shortly after 4 a.m. at a three-story building in the 800 block of North Bunker Hill Avenue, officials said. The fire was believed to have started by homeless encampments. "There have been several fires at this structure here. And they come out and they put it out, the police chase the homeless out, but they keep coming back. So this time, they set it good," said resident Ken Ferris. |

| One State’s Budget Dispels Big Lie
About School Choice Jason Bedrick, Corey DeAngelis For years, opponents of school choice have been predicting that Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Accounts policy would "bankrupt" the state. Instead, as the state’s education budget surplus demonstrates, school choice has reduced costs. This won’t surprise Arizonans who have become accustomed to the empty scaremongering from Chicken Littles claiming that school choice would make the sky fall. But then again, they aren’t the target audience for this pernicious propaganda. Conservative lawmakers in other states are... Even looking only at state dollars, the ESA program typically costs taxpayers hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars less per child than the public school system. As students shift from public schools to ESAs, the state saves money. |

| WA Board of Ed Looks to Expand Controversial Ethnic Studies Graduation Requirement The Washington State Board of Education is moving closer to officially updating and expanding a 2021 resolution that established an ethnic studies graduation requirement. Board members discussed “incorporating Ethnic Studies into the legislative platform, and/or addressing Ethnic Studies through the FutureReady graduation requirements initiative,” according to the agenda for Thursday’s virtual board of education meeting. The Washington chapter of the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, or FAIR, has encouraged its members and supporters to speak out at board meetings in opposition to the ethnic studies push. “SBE seems prepared to encourage more school districts to promote social justice theories and activism in K-12 classrooms through ethnic studies,” read a mass email sent to FAIR supporters ahead of the Washington State Board of Education’s August meeting. “It defines the subject to emphasize ‘oppressor vs. oppressed’” ideas as part of a push to “dismantle white supremacy.” |

| Shocker: Captured Hamas
Document Shows Sinwar Playing the West Like a Fiddle Ed Morrissey Shocking? Well, maybe. Could anyone feel shock at seeing the same Hamas playbook getting run for the nth time since 2006? German magazine Bild reports on a Hamas strategy document captured in Gaza that comes from the poisoned pen and mind of Yahya Sinwar himself. The document, if authentic, lays out the full hostaging strategy Hamas planned to employ in this war. It will come as no surprise to anyone at this point – outside the White House, anyway – that Sinwar has no interest in cease-fires or a two-state solution. His real interests? Psychological torture and the annihilation of Israel, with his own survival somewhere in between. |

| Why Team Biden Might Be
Purposefully Grinding Down the Middle Class Glenn H. Reynolds Vladimir Lenin supposedly once said, “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” There’s some doubt as to whether this line is genuine; regardless, it seems like a pretty good description of what the Biden administration is doing to America’s middle class. Inflation is running rampant. The Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. |

August, Missing Expectations While June and July Numbers Were Both Revised Lower The U.S. Department of Labor on Friday reported that employers added 142,000 jobs in August, compared to the 160,000 gain that was projected by LSEG economists... The number of jobs added in the prior two months were both revised downward, with job creation in June revised down by 61,000 from a gain of 179,000 to 118,000, while July was revised down by 25,000 from 114,000 to 89,000. With the revision, July's job creation was the lowest nonfarm payrolls reading since December 2020. |

| Biden Confesses to a Big Lie, and
Nobody Notices … Not Even Joe I & I Editorial Board 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.” ... But it is a distinction Biden had never made in public before. He always says that his administration “created” 16 million new jobs in his first term, usually followed by “the most of any president in history.” |

In an interview with the BBC, Mr. Del Toro blasted Mr. Trump as not aligned with America’s “core principles” and said NATO would suffer without “the mature leadership that President Biden has provided.” And in response to questions after a speech, Mr. Del Toro complained that Mr. Trump “aligns himself with autocratic dictators.” |

In April 2021, a Zion, Illinois, man named Edward Schimenti got thirteen and a half years in prison for aiding the Islamic State (ISIS). These are just three men who are on a long and ever-lengthening list of converts to Islam who turn to terrorism, even in the United States, and are largely ignored by the establishment media. |

Former Trump National Security Adviser H.R.

"If Kamala Harris thinks these policies are going to do a lot of good, and of course, most of them are nonsensical, but if she thinks they're going to do a lot of good, she should try them out now because she's currently in power, not promise to do something when she's in office in the future that she's not doing when she's in office in the present." |

 Dissembling Tim Walz Talks About “When I Was in Afghanistan, You Know What Our Troops Were Worried About?” Is there anything Tim Walz won’t lie about? That’s a question that is being asked across these United States. His tendency to fabricate, outright lie, and otherwise mislead is becoming legend. And not in a good way. The latest example of his dishonesty and fakery is from 2012.

| Democrats: Illegal Aliens Surely
Don't Vote Because It is Illegal for Them to Vote David Strom Democrats are in a terrible bind. On the one hand, they don't want to vote for the SAVE Act, which is aimed at preventing illegal aliens from voting. On the other, they don't want to say that it's OK for illegal aliens to vote. What to do? Just assert that it isn't a problem because it is already illegal for illegal aliens to vote. And since it is illegal, nothing should be done to prevent it. It's a compelling argument. Nobody uses fentanyl because it is illegal. Nobody murders anybody because it is illegal. There is no crime at all, because crime is illegal. |

| American Entrepreneurs Must Be
Freed from Excessive Permitting Requirements Veronique De Rugy Vice President Kamala Harris thinks U.S. Steel should not have the right to sell its business to Japan’s Nippon Steel. Previously, some Republican senators thought they too should have the ability to kill the deal between private companies. And it doesn’t stop there. During the pandemic, airlines had to get the government’s permission to hand out hand sanitizer to passengers. Energy projects are subjected to years of permitting processes. And, of course, in most places, Americans aren’t allowed to build what they want on their own property without subjecting themselves to government authorization. Welcome to the permission-slip economy. It shouldn’t be this way. |

| Congress Needs to End Regulation
Without Representation Daren Bakst Taxation without representation is the antithesis of freedom and runs counter to the basic principles guiding our nation. So why is regulation without representation not considered an equal threat to freedom? Federal agencies constantly issue regulations that fail to reflect the will of lawmakers who represent the people. The Supreme Court recently shot down such attacks on freedom when it issued rulings striking down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s nationwide eviction moratorium during the pandemic and the Obama Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan rule that would have turned the agency into the nation’s electrical grid manager. In both instances, the agencies were not implementing law so much as they were creating it. |

Americans from Billions in Wasteful Government Spending A rule requiring the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to publish annual reports on wasteful spending has saved billions of taxpayer dollars since 2011, according to an Open the Books report released Wednesday. Former Republican Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn amended the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 to require the GAO to include an investigation into duplicate spending between government entities in its annual report, which has saved the government $667.5 billion since its first report in 2011, according to Open the Books. Congress, however, had made efforts to stifle the GAO’s mission, threatening to cut its funding right after its first report, and has been the slowest to adopt the GAO’s waste-cutting recommendations. |

| Do You Like NASCAR? This
'Non-partisan' Voter Registration Group Doesn’t Want to Help You Do you live in a swing state? If so, the Voter Participation Center, a "non-partisan" charity, is spending big on Facebook ads to ensure you have the information you need to cast a ballot in the upcoming election. That is unless you like NASCAR, golf, Jeeps, or other interests and hobbies typically associated with Republican men. In that case, the Voter Participation Center does not want to share information that might help you make it to the polls in November. The group’s claim to be "non-partisan" is important because the IRS is clear that charities, beneficiaries of generous tax exemptions, can only engage in voter registration drives in a "neutral, non-partisan manner." |

| Pornography in Schools, Brought to
You by Harris-Walz Victoria Manning The phrase “book banning” was used often at the recent Democrat National Convention (DNC). In his speech at the DNC, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said: “It’s not freedom to tell our children what books they are allowed to read.” He seems to indicate that the government has ownership of other people’s kids as he said, “our children.” That statement alone should send shivers down the spine – communists always go after the children first. Keeping pornographic books away from children isn’t book banning. According to the Justice Department, it is illegal under federal law to “distribute, transport, sell, ship, mail, produce with intent to distribute or sell, or engage in a business of selling or transferring obscene matter.” Yet all over the country Democrats – including Kamala Harris and Tim Walz – are fighting to provide these books to children at taxpayer expense and without parental consent. |

The Jefferson County Public Schools district told parents that girls would stay on one floor of a hotel while boys were on another. But the students and their parents discovered too late that wasn't the case...

In a move that was scummy even for her, Kamala Harris had the audacity to attack Donald Trump for appearing at the memorial for service members who died at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan. And, by extension, she attacked the Gold Star families who invited him to be there. Keep in mind the only reason they're Gold Star families is because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan and got their loved ones killed. Now those families are responding: Trump 'respectfully' Honored Fallen Troops At Arlington National Cemetery Amid Altercation Report: Veteran The veteran, Lucas O’Hara, said on social media that he worked at Arlington for three years during his time in the military, and he lauded Trump's composure at the event. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is facing criticism following reports that cemetery staff warned them not to take photographs at the Monday event. "I have witnessed over 75 wreath laying ceremonies performed by politicians and conducted 524 funerals in this cemetery during the time I served in the Presidential Honor Guard for three years. What I got to witness yesterday was the most respectful and solemn ceremony I have seen," O'Hara wrote. Trump Campaign Disputes Allegations of Altercation During Arlington Wreath-Laying Ceremony While visiting Arlington National Cemetery for a memorial wreath ceremony to honor the victims of the Kabul Airport bombing, former President Donald Trump’s campaign staff members allegedly got into a dispute with cemetery staff members. The Trump campaign was quick to dispute the events, reported by NPR. Its response was backed by the family members of several of the victims. Trump campaign manager and Marine Corps veteran Chris LaCivita backed up the telling of events, calling the person who challenged the campaign staff “despicable.” “President Trump was there on the invitation of the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families to honor their loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” LaCivita said. |

At the time, Harris gloated that she was the “last person in the room” with Biden as he formulated his plan, adding, “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.” Only a cackling idiot would not hope to retract those words, but Harris stands by their deadly decision. She doubled down this week, declaring, “Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.” Actually, Biden did not do that. Donald Trump set up the terms, and Biden/Harris discarded his requisite conditions for political expedience. Harris is proving to be every bit as magnanimous a liar as her lying mentor. |

Electricity Grids to Fail, Then What? Ed Ireland The EPA ramped up its efforts to control electricity generation when it implemented the Clean Power Plan (CCP) in 2015. Barely two months into his term, President Trump signed an executive order calling on the EPA under then-Administrator Scott Pruitt to pause and review the CCP. The Supreme Court dealt what should have been the final blow with its ruling against such federal agency overreach in “West Virginia v. EPA” in 2022.

| How Trump Can Win on Energy: Zero
Energy Poverty Chris Wright Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, will impoverish America. That’s the best way to understand one of their most important – yet least-known – policy pipe dreams. As vice president, Harris has backed so-called “net zero,” which means offsetting every iota of manmade greenhouse gases. Walz, as governor, has pushed one of the most aggressive net-zero policies in America, mandating no carbon emissions in Minnesota by 2040. This promise is economic suicide. |

| Canada’s 2023 Wildfires Emitted
More CO2 Than Most Countries Frances Martel A study published this week found that Canada’s devastating 2023 wildfire season – which covered some of America’s largest cities with toxic plumes and affected 100 million Americans – resulted in Canada being responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than any country on earth except China, India, and the United States. While responsible for a tremendous increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the past year, the administration of leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau largely escaped criticism, particularly from left-wing climate activists, for his poor handling of the fires. |

| NJ Residents Hit with Doubled Bills
As Lawmakers Fume at Gov. Murphy's Green Energy ‘Energy Disaster Plan,'
Demand Hearings After a surge in home energy bills that left many New Jersey residents with costs that have doubled, or more, there have been widespread calls for hearings to hold the state utility commission, the governor and supporters of green energy accountable. "New Jersey is already one of the most unaffordable states in the United States of America. Now people are being hit with energy bills that are essentially doubled. And look, I get it that it was a hot July, but it wasn't that hot that your energy bills should have doubled," State Senator Testa said. |

Department for Biden Climate Czar John Podesta’s Records Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy for records regarding Joe Biden’s Climate Czar John Podesta and/or his brother Tony Podesta that are tied to the lobbying firm Podesta.com. Concerns have been raised by the Washington Free Beacon about potential conflicts of interest arising from John Podesta advising the Biden administration on climate policy while having close ties to Podesta.com, a lobbying firm co-founded by his brother, Tony Podesta. |

| Offshore Trojan Horses: Beware of
Greens Bearing Gifts Gordon Hughes  In July, the U.S.
Department of Interior greenlighted large offshore wind farms in New
Jersey and Maryland. Once the financial agreements are in place, New
Jersey’s Atlantic Shores and Maryland’s MarWin and Momentum will join
the two large wind farms in New York approved in June. These projects
will receive huge multibillion-dollar subsidies from the federal
government and electricity ratepayers. What benefits will New Jersey
and Maryland enjoy from this flood of money? To answer this question,
it is best to recall the classic warning of the Trojan Horse legend,
“Beware of Greeks bearing gifts” – in other words, the hidden dangers
of accepting something that seems too good to be true. |

| As Usual, The Washington
Post Gets an Election Story Wrong Hans von Spakovsky One of the problems with reporters for the Washington Post is that they repeat the claims of liberals as if they are facts, without questioning the claims or pointing out the patently obvious problems with clearly false accusations. You can see that in a Page One story Saturday in which the Post blithely reports that “critics” of a new rule approved by the Georgia State Election Board say it “would empower county election officials to withhold certification of results without justification, potentially thwarting a popular result.” |

| Will the Biden-Harris
Administration Allow the World's Leading State Sponsor of Terrorism to Acquire Nuclear Weapons? Majid Rafizadeh Despite widespread concerns over Iran's advancing nuclear program, the Biden-Harris administration, along with European leaders, are largely inactive in curbing this growing threat. As the clock ticks, there has been no concrete strategy proposed to halt Iran's march towards nuclear weapons, leaving the world in an alarming position. In a recent development, Representative Mike Turner, Chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, voiced extreme concern regarding Iran's potential declaration as a nuclear weapons state. Turner pointed out the unsettling prospect that Iran could announce its nuclear status "by the end of the year." He further blamed the Biden administration's policies for contributing to this dangerous situation, and stated that they have set the stage for a significant escalation. |

The report suggested the FBI continued to have problems with a lack of investigation, not reporting cases to local law enforcement as required and not following the agency’s own policies. |

| Obamas Lecture America
on Decency As the Democrats Lie David Harsanyi Not only do Democrats fashion themselves the protectors of “democracy,” they claim to be champions of decency. Well, if the second day of the Democratic National Convention is any indication, the left doesn’t have any claim to the moral high ground. For one thing, no one at the DNC seemed even mildly constrained by the truth. More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump had referred to the tiki torch Nazis of Charlottesville as “very fine people.” |

When we understand just how much corruption was needed in the weaponization of the modern IC, we start to understand why the effort to hide it will continue. President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people understandably get confused. |

| Kamala Harris Tyrannical 2019 Video
Resurfaces: 'I Will Snatch Their Patent So That We Will Take Over' Bob Hoge A 2019 video of a Kamala Harris campaign event made the rounds on the internet Friday night after the Democrat presidential hopeful unveiled some of her economic proposals, including her apparent desire for Soviet-style price controls on groceries. During her ill-fated run for president, the now-vice president said she could lower prices on drugs simply by having the government seize patents from pharmaceutical companies and “take over.” That’s not how a free-market economy is supposed to work, but the giddy Harris didn’t care.... The party frightened about the 'threat to our democracy' is nominating a wannabe tyrant. |

Cooked the Jobs Books, Puts the Lie to Biden's Claims "Historic" Job Creation In what might be the least surprising news of the day, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has “revised” the job growth numbers from the first quarter of 2024, and the downward adjustment is scandalously high, suggesting deliberate manipulation of employment numbers by the Biden-Harris administration. “U.S. job growth in the year through March was likely far less robust than initially estimated, which risks fueling concerns that the Federal Reserve is falling further behind the curve to lower interest rates,” reports Bloomberg. “Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. economists expect the government’s preliminary benchmark revisions on Wednesday to show payrolls growth in the year through March was at least 600,000 weaker than currently estimated -- about 50,000 a month.” |

Who She Is Scott McKay Team Harris conspired with the legacy corporate propaganda press to morph the candidate from a laughingstock of an empty skirt into some sort of idiocratic cultural phenomenon virtually overnight, something that doesn’t appear to have impressed anything like a consensus of people but has without question given partisan Democrat voters at least a thin reed of joyful exuberance to cling to. But the problem with all of this is that it’s based on nothing. It’s just emotion. |

That was not true. It was a small lie about a minor honor, but for Walz it was part of a pattern of deceit and embellishment that helped pave the way from high school teacher to Congress to the Minnesota governor's mansion and now, should the Democrats win in November, to the vice presidency. |

| Looming Clean Energy Disasters Off
Our Coasts Paul Driessen A recent mishap off the Nantucket, Massachusetts coast underscores yet another reason why hundreds or thousands of monstrous wind turbines cannot be permitted in America’s coastal waters. Shards, chunks and finally the rest of a turbine blade fell into the ocean. One blade ... from a 62-turbine project that’s only three-fourths completed ... broken by its own weight, not by a storm. And yet beaches had to be closed amid peak tourist season, while crews picked up pieces of fiberglass-resin-plastic-foam blades, and boats dodged big pieces floating in the water. Worse, Vineyard Wind didn’t tell Nantucket officials about the problems until two days after the blade began disintegrating. |

Has Forced Labor Problem Echoes of Solyndra in Biden/Harris Solar Subsidies. Vice President Kamala Harris was “proud to cast the tie-breaking vote” for the Inflation Reduction Act. Would she be proud if her administration’s solar subsidies fund supported forced labor in China? That may be the case with Hanwha Qcells, a South Korean solar company operating in Georgia. Bloomberg recently reported that two Chinese suppliers of the company obtained polysilicon for solar panel components from companies sanctioned by the U.S. government for employing forced Uyghur labor.

Order Against BlackRock, Alleging Misleading ESG Statements Indiana's state securities regulator issued a cease and desist order against BlackRock Thursday, accusing the investment giant of fraudulent actions related to its ESG [environmental, social, and governance] products and offerings.

According to the Indiana Securities Division, BlackRock has repeatedly made false and misleading statements to Indiana investors with regards to the company’s ESG products. Indiana accuses BlackRock of pushing ESG factors on portfolio companies and informing clients they would see better long-term returns on their investments through ESG-backed funds.

Warming Explained by Solar Forcing… Human Climate Forcing ‘Does Not Exist in Reality’ Kenneth Richard A new, observation-based study makes extensive use of satellite data (CERES) to quantify the driving mechanism behind the global surface air temperature (GSAT) warming throughout the first 24 years of the 21st century. Instead of agreeing with the prevailing narrative, the authors reject the hypothesis that accumulated “heat trapping” from rising greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in recent decades is the driver of global warming. Instead, satellite observations clearly indicate “100% of the global warming trend and 83% of the GSAT interannual variability” is explained by the increasing trend in absorbed shortwave radiation due to the downward trend in planetary albedo [solar reflection] primarily induced by changes in cloud cover. |
