A driverless taxi was set ablaze by an unruly crowd amid Lunar New Year celebrations on the streets of San Francisco Saturday night. Vandals in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood surrounded the Waymo robotaxi before breaking the window and throwing fireworks inside, according to The San Francisco Standard. It was unclear what prompted the lawless destruction of the autonomous vehicle, which was not carrying any passengers, according to the report. The vandalism was caught on camera, and resulted in the car erupting in fire and smoke as crowds clogged Jackson Street near Grant Street.

Remember how depopulation was called a right-wing conspiracy theory? Things have changed, and “population collapse,” which can no longer be denied, is now good for us!

The White House announced the release of a research plan on solar radiation modification (SRM) on Friday that suggests the “possible deployment” of solar geoengineering techniques to mitigate the effects of climate change. The report was published by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to provide a research plan for “solar and other rapid climate interventions” in response to a congressional mandate in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022. The use of SRM techniques that would block or filter sunlight is being explored as a “potential complement to other tools available...

Nine children under the age of 18 were shot outside a gas station in Columbus, Georgia on Friday night.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that Republicans were “not concerned about being successful” because they got elected to Congress to “destroy” the Democratic Party. Discussing the COVID aid bills, host Chris Hayes said, “Are you confident that a House Majority under Kevin McCarthy can do that? Should there be a national emergency like that? When the chips are down, to deliver on a bipartisan basis that kind of thing?”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got emotional on Thursday while discussing what he called attempts to “destroy” Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker. “They’re trying to destroy Herschel to deter young men and women of color from being Republicans,” Graham argued during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity. Graham added that the Republican Heisman Trophy-winning former college football star is a “nightmare for liberals” and that the attacks Walker has faced on the campaign trail will dissuade minorities from joining the GOP because they will fear having their lives “ruined.”

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, on Tuesday called for even more aid to Ukraine as he urges the West to “Destroy Russia Together.” “Many of our @NATO allies on the front lines with Russia give more aid to Ukraine pound-for-pound than the U.S. That’s why we need to ramp up industrial capacity to refill our own weapons stocks, sell to allies to refill their own and sustain Ukraine victories,” Inhofe wrote on Tuesday.

Wokeism has been described by its critics as the omnipresent use of race—and to a lesser extent, gender—to replace meritocracy and thus ensure equality of result. What follows from implementing that ideology are reparatory actions to reward those of the present by atoning for the injustices done to others in the past. Some see it as an update of 1960s cultural Marxism fads. Others scoff that it is just a return to 1980s-style political correctness. Still more see it as the logical successor to 1990s-type race, class, and gender obsessions—albeit with a shriller and more dangerous Jacobin, Soviet, and Maoist...

I got a bunch of Tic Toks saying Biden has sent letters to farmers to destroy their crops. They are showing farmers cutting their crops down because Biden's FDA is paying 1 1/2 times the going price and threatening their subsidies if they don't do it. They are even pouring out oil on roads to waste the oil. We will be starving in 8 months. No wonder Bill Gates has been buying all the farm land. Has anyone else heard the same thing? I'm sure there are plenty of Freepers that live in Kansas.

A Michigan lawmaker told a fellow legislator whom he briefly dated that he’d make it his “life mission to destroy” her and hoped her “car explodes,” court records show. Rep. Steve Marino, a third-term Republican from Harrison Township, also warned Democratic Rep. Mari Manoogian to “hide on the House floor” in a series of text messages as they discussed business for the House Commerce and Tourism Committee, according to screenshots in Michigan court records obtained by the Detroit News. “You’re truly the worst human being I’ve ever met,” Marino, 32, wrote Manoogian, a 29-year-old Birmingham Democrat whom the GOP lawmaker...

The city’s remaining contested statue was torn from its pedestal Saturday once Charlottesville’s City Council voted unanimously to take down the statue of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea. “The statue of Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea departed the intersection where it has stood since 1919 at around 2:45 p.m. aboard a flatbed truck,” the Daily Progress reported, adding the removal took approximately an hour and a half. It was transported to Darden Towe Park in Albermarle County, which is where the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center is located, the article continued:

President Joe Biden is attempting to “destroy” American suburbs with the reconciliation infrastructure package, proving former President Donald Trump’s prediction correct. Trump said during a 2020 campaign rally that Biden wants “to put low-cost housing in the suburbs, and that would mean abolishing, ruining the suburbs. It has already begun. It’s been going on for years.”

An Amazon warehouse in Scotland reportedly destroys millions of unsold products every year, according to undercover footage and anonymous employees at the facility. British news outlet ITV obtained footage from inside the e-commerce giant’s Dunfermline facility that showed laptops, books, jewelry and other still-packaged products being sorted into boxes marked “destroy.” The items, some of which were new and others which were returned, were then sorted into trucks and taken to recycling centers or landfills, according to the outlet. “From a Friday to a Friday our target was to generally destroy 130,000 items a week,” a former employee at the...

We knew it was a bad time for commercial real estate. We didn't imagine it was this bad. Among CEOs, 76% told Fortune their company will need less office space in the future. And 28% say they'll need a lot less office space. That's the finding from a Fortune survey of 171 CEOs in collaboration with Deloitte between September 23 to 30.*

Biden evades “Court Packing” question @FoxNews  Because his puppet masters are willing to destroy the U.S. Supreme Court. Don’t let this, and so many other really bad things, happen. VOTE! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1315341383964610562

A federal judge has ordered the attorneys of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre to destroy documents related to Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein confidant who has been frequently named as his former collaborator in child sex trafficking. Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska made the determination in lawsuits Giuffre and her attorneys, Cooper and Kirk, have filed against Maxwell and former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz. Preska rejected Dershowitz’s attempt to change a protective order to receive documents for his defense in the defamation case while ordering Giuffre’s attorneys to destroy documents from a previously-settled case involving Maxwell. Preska wrote in her...

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that attorneys for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s accuser Virginia Guiffre must destroy certain Epstein files that were improperly obtained.The ruling came after attorney Alan Dershowitz requested access to the documents, Newsweek reports.  Dershowitz said the documents would be an asset to his defense in his 2019 defamation case against Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who said Dershowitz was one of the men with whom Epstein forced her to have sex.“The Court is not convinced that the production of the [Ghislaine] Maxwell materials to Mr. Dershowitz would even vindicate those important objectives beyond making life easier for Mr. Dershowitz,” Senior...
