While your "press" has been propagating terror over forest fires--all due to "climate change," of course--the facts on the ground make the press into one giant liar. (The same can be said about their campaign to terrorize you over summertime heat.)
Anyhow, here's the pertinent chart showing the percentage of acres world-wide burned in the last 20 years:
Still terrorized? Then hide under your bed.
So let's talk a little more about Ron DeSantis.
Due to policy moves of his utility board, Florida electric rates will escalate by 300-400% over the next dozen years while Florida Power & Light (FPL) ships billions of dollars to Red China for batteries and sun-catchers.
Because US natural gas isn't good enough mumblefart sumpin sumpin.
Or just maybe FPL's shareholders prefer a 10% guaranteed ROI on $16 BILLION in capital expenditures and make donations to DeSantis?
Hey, Ron: jamming your Green Weenie up the butts of voters is not going to get voter-love.
Just sayin'
If you wonder why DeSantis' new line on the '20 Fraud is that 'there's nothing to see,' look no further than the threat from a Vegas-based mega-donor.
The line put out by some is that the Vegas guy wants a more 'moderate' position on abortion from DeSantis, but that's not............entirely...........true, is it?
$20 million is the new 30 pieces of silver.
If you've ever used the term 'Byzantine' to describe a corporate structure--or Government--you've described how D.C. actually works. Then you'll appreciate the insights of Sundance on how Bob "Bluto" Barr screwed President Trump on the "Russia!! Russia!!" Potemkin Village "investigation."
You understand the term "silo," right? Look it up in the dictionary if you don't. There are THREE of them in the barnyard slop called the "Russia Interference" investigation. The first one was the silo of the DoJ Inspector General's initial look into the FBI decisions resulting in the Clinton exoneration and delivery of a report on his findings. It's important to know that the IG can NOT look at activity outside the Department.
The second silo was Weissman (may he rot in Hell)/Mueller. They grabbed all the 'not-internal' space they could to investigate Trump-Russia and the reports of prior Russian influence in the 2016 election. That probe existed to hide the DOJ and FBI weaponization of government that was deployed under the justification of the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Don't believe that? Then why did Mueller KNOW NOTHING about the origin of 'Crossfire Hurricane', and told a Senate committee that "it was not in his purview"? Hmmmmm?
The third silo was created by Bluto Barr specifically to screw Trump--and you, the taxpaying schlepper who smells of Wal-Mart and well-thumbed Bible.
... After realizing the Mueller report contained none of this information, in May of 2019 Bill Barr appointed John Durham and Silo #3 was created.
Each of the silos, purposefully created by those who operate within the DC systems of political power, were created to have specific usefulness and function. This is how the system operates.
We hear things like “ongoing investigation” as sunlight blocks, or “potential interfering with an investigation” as another technique. Each time a silo is created, the purpose of the silo is to control information and isolate the larger system from scrutiny....
...not accidentally, Robert Mueller was able to avoid scrutiny of never having investigated the origin of Trump-Russia because there was another silo, John Durham (silo 3), to take the heat off him. Each silo is sequentially created to deflect and distract from questioning that surrounds the originating corruption. Attorney General Bill Barr created Silo #3 (Durham), for exactly this reason. Bill Barr was the Bondo, John Durham the spray paint.
John Durham finishes up Silo-3 operations, delivers a report, and now we have a Silo #4 in operation via the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Next? Well, if anyone aside from Trump is elected, the whole shebang will be paved over with 12" of concrete and a top-layer of 4" asphalt. You will NEVER see indictments, firings, or perp-walks of the dozens of traitors involved.
If Trump is elected?
You may see half of the perps get their just desserts before Trump is assassinated, along with his investigators.
We're about to find out what tortures some other States (AZ, WA, and OR) have gone through. While the Wisconsin Rule-By-Bitches involves SCOWI, not the Governor, it will turn out the same.
That "Rule of Law" stuff?
No more of that.
Veep "Deep Throat" Harris brags about Bidenomics. Others wonder how much she has to brag about.
While the prevailing post-payrolls narrative has focused on the divergence between the soggy headline payrolls print (which at 187K not only missed expectations for a second consecutive month, but was the lowest number since Dec 2020), and the stronger than expected hourly earnings (which beat expectations only because hours worked dropped again to 34.3, a level last seen in the pre-covid days) and the drop in unemployment rate (which brings us even further from the Fed's year-end dot plot target of 4.1%, a closer look at the details of today's jobs report reveals just how ugly the reality behind the the Budget-Busting Bidenomics truly is....
In the "revisions" category, there's this:
...Payrolls for every month in 2023 have been revised lower....
Then there's the "new business-created jobs" thing:
...In other words, most if not all job "gains" were as a result of the BLS assuming that newly "birthed" "businesses created at least 280K new jobs, a number which is not based at all on observable facts but is a regression to some historical trendline which only the BLS is privy to.Oh, but there's MORE!!
...one look at this month's adjustment and it's literally a shocker: you will not hear anyone from the Biden admin or associated economist cheerleaders mention this, but the BLS reported that in July the number of full-time jobs plunged by 585,000 to 134.274 million,...
Wait..........what??? You thought jobs were up, right?
Well, they are........counting part-time/side-hustles.
...how did the BLS get an increase of almost 300,000 employed workers? Simple: it was all in the surge of part-time workers. In July, the number of part-timers exploded by almost one million - 972K to be precise ...
People get side-hustles because the main hustle isn't paying enough to meet the spending--or because they don't have a main hustle and they need cash. Think inflation has something to do with that?
...going back to a quantitative read of the data, we look at the number of multiple jobholders - those workers who have to work more than one job at a time to make ends meet. In July, that number surged by 118K, and at 8.113 million was just shy of the pre-covid record hit in July 2019...
We'll leave the summary to the nation's real-news source, the Babylon Bee:
...White House Says Bidenomics So Successful The Average American Has Twice As Many Jobs As They Had Two Years Ago...
On the way to having nothing and liking it!
The ex-Chief of the CapCops was interviewed by Tucker.
Fox "News" buried the video, but it escaped confinement and is out there, thanks to the National Pulse.
Charlie Kirk summarized a bit of the video you can see at this link.
...In never-before-aired footage from Tucker Carlson's interview with Steven Sund, the former Chief of the Capitol Hill Police, says J6 was "crawling with feds." Sund details that there were 18 FBI undercover agents, plus an additional 20 agents from DHS. In over 30 years as a police officer, Sund says he's never seen that number of undercover agents across multiple government agencies for similar events. Sund also details how the FBI broke with past protocol and did NOT brief him on the presence of undercover agents on J6, nor was that intel given to him in a Joint Intelligence Bulletin....
Pelosi canned Sund the day after the disturbance, probably because Sund started raising Hell about what was obviously a Deep State/Pelosi/Schumer plot to get Trump and all those smelly Wal-Mart shoppers.
It's an on-going plot. Pelosi's plan to establish a Democrat-run national Stasi is still operative. They're not paranoid. They know the mood of the country, and that the FBI alone cannot possibly control events.
The Democrats have to get Cornel West out of the primary.
So--out of the clear blue sky--we find a reliable Democrat rag printing a story on him.
The left-wing outlet Daily Beast reported Thursday that Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West owes over $500,000 in back taxes as worry mounts that his candidacy could hurt President Joe Biden’s reelection chances.
On Thursday, the outlet’s William Bredderman, a senior researcher, highlighted West’s decades of advocation for higher taxes on the wealthy before citing documents that purportedly show $543,778.78 in tax liens...
Do they seriously think that West voters give a flying fart about back taxes?
No. But that's only Part One--a warning shot.
The Big Apple is happy to have American tourists. Broadway shows, great museums, the Metropolitan Opera, UN building, Statue of Liberty.........
Plus extra added features!!! Contract TB, Polio, Or even leprosy!!! from the now-indigenous illegal alien tourists laying about on the sidewalks and prowling the subways. You can't get those diseases at home, because our civilization near-eradicated them. But other 'civilizations' didn't!! So it's a unique benefit!!
There's no better time to pick up souvenirs like those. And you'll also renew your acquaintance with your family doctor when you get home!
Big Apple!! YAY!!!
Or you could visit Los Angeles for another rare (in this country) reward: flea-borne typhus!
Seems there was a secret part of the Durham report on the FBI's lies, deceptions, frauds, and perjuries to the FISA court. It's "secret" because Wray and his sub-capos don't want you to know that their real business is NOT chasing sex-traffickers, and not even raiding the homes of committed anti-abortion demonstrators and Old Rite Mass Catholics.
No. Their REAL business is rigging elections, which they've done twice in a row (that we know of.)
Ace quotes Real Clear Investigations--which cites a couple of sources--
The FBI was so desperate to renew its domestic spying that they actually cited a Washington Post "story" as Really Important Serious Evidence, You Know..........which "story" was fed to the WaPo by the same lying SOB that fed it to the FEEBS in the first place.
And the FISA Court swallowed it.
You'll be pleased to know that Wray has "instituted reforms."
For a few weeks early in the Biden Installation, there was speculation that Obama was going to be running things--a 'shadow' Installed President.
According to this book review in The Tablet, that's a fact, Jack. I kid you not.
The review is on Garrow's book, Rising Star, now 6 years old but re-discovered. To say that the book casts a jaundiced eye on Obama would be an understatement. What Garrow says, in brief, is that Obama fabricated most of his 'life story' and (surprise!!!) no one in the MSM bothered to look hard for the actuality.
It is what it is. Obama is not loathsome like Biden. But he's close.
Just for fun, ask yourself this: What did Obama know about Biden, Inc., and when did he know it?
We suspect that he knew within months of entering the Senate and he knew it all.
But no one in the MSM will ever ask.
The Selected One goes with comedy.
“We have to demonstrate that he WILL NOT take power — if he does run — by making sure he, under the legitimate efforts of the Constitution, DOES NOT become the next president again.”...
What? You, the Capitol Police, and the Heroic Watertown, WI PD*?
Be serious, pudding-chewer.
*Yes, the Watertown WI cop-shop covered itself in glory by inventing ordinances on the spot and--despite a camera, claiming "resisting arrest" which is clearly a lie. But that makes them members of the Biden Democrat Clown-and-Tyrant Club in good standing, so there's that.
This Wack-Doodle operates a brewpub.
He is as far-Left as one can get without selling spices, and he claims that he's 'pro-health'. That's not true, as we'll see below. He also has a problem with obeying ordinances.
Nah, bro. That's for peons.
Oneida County supervisors on Wednesday night revoked Minocqua Brewing Company's permit to do business and ordered the brewery to close its doors. ...
...His permit was under scrutiny after Oneida County Supervisors said he violated his permit multiple times, which Bangstad admitted to.
"The issues they revoked my permit on are simply serving beer on a concrete stoop and not having a covered dumpster," Bangstad said.
His Administrative Review Permit, or ARP, only allows him to do business indoors, not outdoors, according to WAOW-TV.
"With all the violations he has, he has proven that he has no respect," said Wayne Trapp, a contractor in Minocqua....
He'd like to downplay that 'uncovered dumpster' thing, but even Conservative peons know that inviting black bears, raccoons, and wolves to your town's streets is not a wise move.
Nor is it sanitary. In fact, it's damned UN-HEALTHFUL.
But "sanitary" and "wisdom" are for the Conservative peons--as we've known for decades.
You'd think that the MSM would be extremely interested in an interview of Steven Sund, the former chief of the Capitol Cops during which Sund talked extensively about the J6 event.
You'd be wrong. The MSM (Reuters, AP, USAToday, Fox) does not mention it, although it's been out for two+ days.
They are burying it; it does not fit The Narrative.
The EPA had a chart on "heat waves" posted about a year ago. We won't name the local "news" outlets that have totally ignored it in favor of the New Terrorism of Weather (Maybe) that sells.....because the list would be too damned long.
Anyhow, here's the chart:
Probably the least surprising poll result of the year.
A Gallup poll released earlier this month shows that just 28% of Americans have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in K-12 public schools. The number for Republicans is particularly damning: Just 14% of GOPers view education in a positive light.
Confidence in higher education has also taken a hit, with just 36% of those polled saying they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education, down from 48% in 2018 and 57% in 2015....
The NEA and AFT counter that bad news poll with their assertion that students in K through 5 know far more about masturbation and sexual perversion than ever before in this country's history.
So there.
You probably noted that "gun control" schemes and pleadings come almost exclusively from the Left--but there are always a few righties who join the Wailing Chorus. Those righties endorse compromise positions (a/k/a/ "common sense gun control.") See, e.g., Bloated Rat Bill.
That's not always because they believe their own bulls**t.
...In America, the Second Amendment guarantees ordinary citizens political power. Gun control has never been about saving lives or preserving public safety; it has always been about controlling lives and preserving the "ruling class's" safety. A well armed populace is capable of protecting its own liberties; a well armed State is concerned only with protecting its own power....
The 'right-aligned' gun-control twits are the Deep State members or their stooges. They like their power and lust for more. Don't let them have it.
When you know the educators, you know the students.
A University professor has claimed kids should be exposed to adult genitalia to prepare them for the possibility of seeing a naked trans person, in a shocking jab at swimmer Riley Gaines.
Journalism professor Dr. Katja Thieme had made the comment in a Twitter post she shared criticizing swimmer and women's rights advocate Riley Gaines....
Perversion goes mainstream in "journalism."
Surprised?
Whoa. Someone let this big honking dynamite cat out of the Foxbag.
Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund described January 6 as a “cover-up” in a leaked interview with Tucker Carlson that Fox News refused to air, the National Pulse revealed....
Pretty much what you'd have guessed; he's angry that he got almost no intel and no National Guard support. He doesn't say so directly, but it's clear that Nancy Pelosi was the problem.
Then he unloads the bomb:
...“So you describe this as a failure to get the intelligence to people who needed it, but it sounds like worse than. It sounds like they were hiding some intelligence,” Carlson tells Sund in the clip released by National Pulse.
“And that’s what I’m getting at,” Sund responded. “Could there possibly be actually… they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out… what was their end goal?”...
Their end goal? Split the country in two--which they've done, and then........
Look for coverage in the MSM!! /sarc
Zelenskiy is the walking dead. Naturally, the captive press frames it as a "Russian assassination".
But the CIA has guns, too.
...despite the reluctance to publicly engage with the question, there is a plan in place, according to interviews with Ukrainian officials and lawmakers as well as analysts. Indeed, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said as much: “The Ukrainians have plans in place — that I’m not going to talk about or get into any details on — to make sure that there is what we would call ‘continuity of government’ one way or another,” he told CBS news last year....--Politico, quoted at Vox
First question: why did this news item appear today? Yup. That's the answer.
Anyway, the Ukrainian constitution specifies that the leader of Parliament takes over.
The only question is whether the CIA will give that guy advance notice.
PowerLine sums it up very well.
Krazy-Eyez Killa Jack Smith announced the the election-related indictment of Donald Trump yesterday. Listening to his brief statement (text here, video below), I learn that it was just unsealed. Killa must have had it ready to go for some time. He appears to have had it filed and unsealed in response to the testimony of Devon Archer before the House Oversight Committee the day before....
"Killa". Who has CapCop security 24X7. Because "Killa."
No more needs be said about that jackass.
...Those in power act with no concern to the profound damage they do. They are not oblivious. They just don’t care. They are in power and they mean to keep it that way....
We settled that sort of hash in 1781 and we can do it again.
We think that Channel 6 should study the Constitution and State law before running any story about "fake electors."
...According to federal prosecutors, Trump's strategy to stay in office was to use a number of "alternate" electors, including in Wisconsin, who would ignore the votes cast and choose him as president....
The outcome of the election in Wisconsin and other States was doubtful, to say the least. Having a slate of alternate Electors pending determination that fraud was not a factor is prudent, not criminal. Does Green Bay have a backup quarterback 'just in case'?
Also note that Channel 6 did NOT run any stories about the Biden Crime Family, especially the latest revelations from a crime-family associate who was under oath.
Gee. Did The Narrative push the crime-family story out of the way?
Asking for a friend.....
Who has time for all their bullshit?
If one of the major ocean currents responsible for creating our weather patterns were to collapse, Wisconsin wouldn't be immune from the drastic change, researchers say.
A new study estimated that an important ocean current — Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC — could collapse by the middle of the century, or possibly any time from 2025 onward due to human-caused climate change.
Are you sufficiently TERRORIZED yet? After all, CNN, CBS, and NPR are running with the "man-made disaster" narrative, just like Little Local Pravda is.
...scientists don’t agree about whether sea surface temperature (SST) is a good indicator of the health of this massively consequential circulation. “Fundamentally, I am deeply skeptical that SST is actually a proxy of AMOC,” says climate scientist Hali Kilbourne, who studies the current system at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. “But there's certainly a school of thought of people who think it's the best thing going—and it may be the best thing going right now. I don't think we have a good alternative, which is why people are using it."
“I really question whether [SST] is an adequate proxy for AMOC itself,” agrees Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “But the trouble is there aren't really adequate measurements.”...
"There aren't really adequate measurements."
So if the measurements are not adequate, how the Hell do we KNOW that it's "Man-Made?" Looks like another assertion WITHOUT EVIDENCE, ain'a?
Curious minds--which are not present at Little Local Pravda--would like to know.
It's not enough to have the FBI in their armored fortress on South Lake Drive, nor the local Secret Service office, nor even the State's Capitol police, various Sheriffs, and dozens of local police departments.
Nope.
We need even more of a National Police State, and Wisconsin's a great place for one!!
U.S. Capitol Police want to establish a regional outpost in Milwaukee as part of an expansion in field offices largely in response to rising threats to members of Congress. ...
"Protection," you see. "Threats," you see.
...the new plans come as threats to members of Congress have risen recently — approximately 300% over the last seven years, according to Manger. ...
Whatever you do, do NOT be specific about what constitutes "threats." Because you can look really stupid--like this:
...Notably, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked by a man with a hammer in the couple’s San Francisco home last October....
Pelosi's house had Secret Service protection 24X7. So.....ahhh.........duh. More snoozing "protection"?
Or you can look stupid like this, instead:
...In February, a man attacked Minnesota Democratic U.S. Rep. Angie Craig in her D.C. apartment building.
More recently, a staffer for Kentucky Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was stabbed in Northeast D.C. in March. Two months later, a man demanding to see Virginia Democratic U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly attacked two staff aides with a bat inside the congressman’s Fairfax, Virginia, office. ...
The Capitol Police--when not committing second-degree murder of demonstrators--is already an occupation force in D.C. (Craig and Paul) and is within a stone's throw of Fairfax.
So their failures-to-protect over there mean they should open an office over here.
Right.
This is merely another step towards (another ) National Police force.
You've been warned.
A Democrat leggie wants to keep apartment building owners from allowing occupancy in contaminated buildings.
Good intention.
To do so, he wants to 'empower' DNR.
Wrong solution.
The 'empowerment' should be at the local level, whether city, town, village, or County.
Giving large bureaucracies 'power' is an invitation to 'corruption.'
There is no doubt Rep. Larson knows that.
In an essay which clarifies the boundaries, David Azzerad points to the Big Failure of "the Right" over the last 75 years.
NeoCon "conservative" Jonah Goldberg wrote an essay decrying the "New Right" which serves as the touchstone for Azzerad's essay, so he starts there:
...Goldberg’s starting point is his opposition to the successive waves of progressivism, liberalism, and leftism that have expanded the size and scope of the federal government beyond anything the Founders could have ever imagined. For what it’s worth, I agree. The New Deal and the Great Society were, for the most part, unconstitutional.
My starting point, however, is the utter and complete failure of the conservative movement he represents to scale back the federal Leviathan. It will soon be 70 years since William F. Buckley famously declared the intention of conservatives to “stand athwart History, yelling stop!”
Since then, History has proceeded to dispense upon America the forever metastasizing civil rights regime (“trans rights are the civil rights issue of our day,” to quote the president); Medicaid and Medicare (the entitlement most likely to bankrupt the country); federal regulation over the environment, our schools, and every last corner of the workplace; and untold trillions of dollars wasted in the name of ending poverty and promoting democracy....
You should know, dear reader, that Rick Esenberg, Charlie Sykes, and Christian Schneider are signatories to a document criticizing the New Right. Given the antics of Speaker Vos and Leader LeMahieu, they could have signed up, too.
Frankly, that underlines Azzerad's point: the NeoCon bunch is just fine with Big Government (no matter their protestations) so long as they are the governors. Why do you think they are also Never-Trumpers?
...The fabled conservative movement defended some of these developments (more immigration and endless wars); sat idly by as others unfolded (the rise of the gynecocracy); or was simply steamrolled in its opposition to the others (the growth of government).
Concerning the size of the federal government, the issue conservatives care about most, not a single department or agency of consequence has ever been abolished. Not even the great Reagan managed to cut government. He merely slowed down its rate of growth. Conservatives, it is true, did succeed in cutting taxes. In other words, they succeeded in getting Americans not to pay for the government services they consume....
But even those failures pale in comparison to the next group:
...Goldberg and his friends confuse certain policies for principles. The most obvious example is absolute free trade. Libertarian open borders may be the right policy, at least for the exchange of goods, in certain cases. But it is not a conservative axiom. There is a long tradition of conservative political economy, stretching back to Alexander Hamilton and Henry Clay, that supports the targeted use of tariffs to promote the development of critical national industries....
A country which cannot produce steel at scale is a country which will NEVER win a war. A country which cannot produce critical pharmaceuticals at scale is a country which will see its able-bodied population diminish rapidly. A country which--by policy--rips jobs from its citizens claiming that 'the cost of labor' is too high, while deliberately forgetting the cost of compliance with thousands of Big Government mandates, will see its working class devolve into drug-using welfare-dependent slugs.
Sound familiar?
Then there are the fundamentals:
... Goldberg and his friends never seem to muster the courage to state certain core conservative principles that America is most in need of hearing today, like the fundamental natural difference between the sexes for example. As Harry Jaffa once observed: “In nature, the distinction between male and female is the most fundamental of all distinctions. It is more fundamental than the distinction between man and beast, more fundamental even than the distinction between man and God.” Conservatives will nod along but when asked to explain where this distinction matters, they will be hard pressed to say anything beyond women’s sports and women in combat. In all other realms, they treat men and women as interchangeable and thus end up affirming the core principle of our feminized regime....
Don't think the regime is feminized? Look at "today's Pentagon" and try to find another MacArthur, Farragut, or Eisenhower. Don't think the regime is feminized? Go to any school board meeting. The estrogen covers the floor. Don't think the regime is feminized? We have nearly criminalized comments which are "offensive," without regard to the truth of said comments. Feminization means Being Hurt Is Me! and you damn well better not have hurt someone's feeeeeeeeeeeelings.
...Goldberg’s statement, for example, defends the family but cannot muster the courage to call out feminism and LGBTQism, two of the ideologies that have done the most damage to it....
We should add that our feminized wannabee 'leaders' will not tolerate the truth of humanity, either. Oppose abortion except for life of the mother? You're anathema. Think homosexuals can be "married"? Straight to Thought-Prison with you!! Believe in a God who punishes sin? You're a serious suspect. Think "duties" accompany "rights"? You're not only wrong, but you will pay reparations.
(Those come in a few forms, by the way, and retail prices are one: you pay reparations for the looting and property destruction, after you pay taxes.)
Think women and men were created as such because they were created with different purposes from the get-go? Shut Up.
...Goldberg defends pro-black racial preferences, nods in the direction of structural racism, and accepts the totalitarian woke doctrine of unconscious bias which in effect grants the state jurisdiction over the minds of citizens. But worry not, he stands for limited government....
In a word: all that glitters "conservatism" is not gold. We love Esenberg and pray for Sykes; but that doesn't mean we worship either of them.
1) Biden enters office, spends recklessly.
2) Fitch downgrades US debt.
3) T-bond--both 10-year and 30-year--handles hit 4.
The "Boy from Janesville" who was Congressman for 20 years did rather well.
Ryan entered the House a pauper. As he began his final term in 2017, his net worth was $7,307,041.
There is a reason that Congress will never impeach Biden--and that no one will prosecute Hillary for her treason.
If they do, you'll know too much about How to Follow the Money.
And then you might assemble the ropes and trees.
Polls this far before an election are useless, unless you're the pollster ($$ !!) or a news writer propagandist ($$ !).
But we can't resist tweaking the fading Charlie Sykes.
“Mr. Trump held decisive advantages across almost every demographic group and region and in every ideological wing of the party, the survey found, as Republican voters waved away concerns about his escalating legal jeopardy. He led by wide margins among men and women, younger and older voters, moderates and conservatives, those who went to college and those who didn’t, and in cities, suburbs and rural areas.”
That's the NYT/Siena.
Heh.
As usual, NOT found in the MSM cache of news.
“Why would a Covid lab run by a shady Chinese company be operating in Reedley?” wondered Katy Grimes of the California Globe. At the end of July, after multiple reports on the lab, the Fresno Bee and Sacramento Bee were ignoring the story. So was Gov. Gavin Newsom, who shows strong support for Chinese companies.
In April, 2020, Gov. Newsom struck a $1 billion deal for masks with the Chinese company Build Your Dreams (BYD), not known for protective equipment. Newsom kept the details secret and the governor and his pals did not wear masks as they partied at an upscale eatery. It is now known that masks were ineffective and even harmful, but what happened to the $1 billion remains something of a mystery.--AOSHQ quoting FrontPage
You could stop right there. But let's go on, anyway!
...Hundreds of white mice, genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid-19 virus, were found at a secretive, illegal lab in Reedley, California, near Fresno, the MidValley Times reports. The illegal lab harbored potentially infectious bacterial and viral agents including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5, rubella, samples of malaria and “thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.”
Never authorized or officially permitted, the lab had been operated since October 2022 by Prestige Biotech, a company registered in Nevada but not licensed in California. In a ramshackle furniture warehouse, “patently unfit,” for biological purposes, the company reportedly made Covid and pregnancy test kits, but there was more to it.
According to court documents, 35 separate refrigerators and freezers contained biological material, blood, tissue, serum, bodily fluid samples, and medical waste. On July 5, officials removed from the property 48 containers, each with 44 gallons of “biological material and medical waste.”...
Chinese owned, just like Newsom's $1BN mask-winner.
Some people leave California due to the taxes. We'd suggest leaving because the whole place is a biohazard.
You'll see certain sites blaming the union, and other sites blaming the company management.
But this link gives you a bunch of facts and--as you might expect--both 'sides' have their flaws.
Short version? Icarus and the Sun.
It's useful to question whether 'get bigger every day' is a viable long-term business policy.
Owen caught this yesterday, telling us that this was a far-too-conveeeeeeenient made-for-TV moment. Part of the gaslighting game here was to trap Rep. Dittrich; the other part was to give Evers a chance to praise child-molestation advocates, and he did.
...Photos from Saturday's [Watertown] "Pride in the Park" event depict a dozen men dressed in black tops and khaki pants brandishing semi-automatic rifles. The group waved flags with swastikas on them and hurled homophobic language at people gathered for the LGBTQ+ event, the Watertown Daily News reported....
Well, let's look at this like Owen did.
...let’s try to figure out why a photojournalist, from New York just happened to be in little Watertown, WI to stumble upon a bunch of alleged Nazis protesting a drag show....
...Leftist activists immediately jumped on the videos decrying Nazis and painting the picture that only Nazis would oppose drag shows in front of kids. This was the intended reaction of the alleged Nazis staging the event. Almost to a person, Righties immediately identified the alleged Nazis as fake – FBI or some leftist group – pretending to be Nazis in order to give Leftists an excuse to have reaction #1 above....
Then the most telling observation:
...We have seen Nazi protests for my entire lifetime and before. They tend to be pretty proud of their bigotry and don’t mind showing their faces. They also don’t usually wear slacks, but they DO usually have swastika flags that are replicas from the Third Reich – not goofy black and white versions....
Owen's far younger than we are, but his 'flag' note is dead-on. We've seen more than a few of these demonstrations, and every. single. time. the flags have a red field with a white circle therein, and the swastika in black within the white circle.
The ultra-pervert drag-queen groomers were also subject to a protest by the Gays Against Grooming. Curious, no, that none of that group was interviewed for the "story" propaganda piece?
If you bother to read Little Pravda's piece, you'll notice that they went out of their way to slam Rep. Dittrich. It is NOT co-incidental that she introduced legislation banning men from competing in women's sports just last week. Dittrich and co--sponsor Knodl are now targets for the Two-Minute-Hate campaign; this is only the first round.
ADDED: The Odd Couple, McBride and Piwowarczyk, opine that... "Some conservatives (no legislators) didn’t wrap themselves in flags of glory either when they immediately claimed, without evidence, that the Nazis in Watertown were a “false flag” operation from the feds. They offered no evidence for this. As we wrote on Twitter, if you can’t prove it, don’t say it. Furthermore, reports emerged that the group was part of a vile neo-Nazi faction called Blood Tribe, which has protested drag shows in Ohio, trains to fight in Ukraine, and has an enclave in Maine. A social post emerged that supposedly showed the leader of Blood Tribe issuing a rally cry for people to attend the drag event in Watertown...."
Neither Owen nor this blogger said "Fed". False flag? Yup. And we have good reasons.
Further, the "social post" linked by the Odd Couple does not 'show' a damn thing other than saying so. Without evidence, we should add.
Do better.
Senior Loan Officer survey July '23.
Across the board loan standards are tightening, including mortgages, credit cards, C&I. Demand falling for C&I and commercial real estate loans, also home mortgages.
Banks likely to continue tightening standards through the rest of 2023 due to concerns with collateral value, concern about recession, liquidity challenge, and regulatory uncertainty.
Not good, but not OMG horrible, either. Yet.
He's so obnoxious that even Bai-Den can't stand him.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has parted ways with Marc Elias, the election lawyer who helped arrange the “Russia collusion” hoax...
How bad is he? Bad enough that he 'parted company' with Perkins, Coie a few years back. We always speculated that Perkins 'parted' him, but YMMV.
In 2021, Elias was sanctioned by the Fifth Circuit for filing a nearly identical motion to one that had been rejected and ordered to complete a new course in legal ethics.
If it were the Merrick Garland course in legal ethics, that would have taken about .........oh.........6 minutes. Final test on Merrick's ethics course: "Can you get away with it?"
