  • California braces for ‘Pineapple Express’ storms

    “An impactful storm system will bring rain and wind to the area today and tonight,” the National Weather Service (NWS) Bay Area branch warned on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The first of the two storms, heading from Hawaii to Northern California, could bring “quite rambunctious” winds from the Bay Area to the Central Coast, according to the local NWS. Such winds, coupled with saturated soil conditions, could topple trees and cause power outages, the meteorologists warned on X. “This one’s going to pack quite a punch,” Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los...

    Shock. Horror. And then acceptance. “Today, millions of Americans mourned and prayed, and tomorrow we go back to work,” President George W. Bush began his address days after 9/11. “Tomorrow the good people of America go back to their shops, their fields, American factories, and go back to work.” “We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation to the point where we don’t — where we don’t conduct business, where people don’t shop,” he urged in a later press conference. Defeating the terrorists meant going on with business as usual. And we did. Life changed. Flying...

    The media and their go-to climate pundits reach far and wide to connect whatever tragic event is trending in the news to the modest warming of the past hundred or so years, and they do it no matter how tenuous the connection. It has become all too common in the media, especially every time another United Nations climate conference like COP28 takes place, to blame every problem on climate change. The media and their go-to climate pundits reach far and wide to connect whatever tragic event is trending in the news to the modest warming of the past hundred or...
  • Mark Kelly Whips Up Fear of ‘Gas-Operated’ AR-15s: Here’s Why that Doesn’t Mean Anything

    Breitbart ^ | 12/01/2023 | AWR HAWKINS
    Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is pushing a ban on AR-15s by focusing on their gas operation system approximately 64 years after the gun’s design included such a system. Breitbart News reported that Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and a group of Senate Democrats, including Kelly, introduced an AR-15 ban early Thursday. In so doing, they used new catchphrases such as “lethal capacity weapons” and “gas-operated semiautomatic. Later Thursday, Kelly posted a video on X in which he continued to emphasize the new catchphrases by explaining that this latest attempt to ban AR-15s and similar rifles “focuses on the lethality of their...

    Climate alarmists at Vox urge humanity to stop burning fossil fuels because “the window to act on climate change is closing.” Sparing no hyperbolic flourish, climate writer Umair Irfan asserts that 2023 has been a year of “extraordinary drought, deadly rainfall, and searing heat waves” thanks to global warming. The year 2023 is on track to be “the hottest year measured in human history,” Irfan adds, meaning of course since 1880, when any sort of reliable temperature tracking records began. This year may also “mark the first time global average temperatures have risen above a critical line, providing a glimpse...
  • With COVID surging, should I wear a mask?

    theconservation ^ | 11/19/2023 | Luis Alvarez
    COVID is on the rise again, with a peak likely over the holiday season. Given this, health authorities in a number of Australian states have recommended people start wearing masks again. In Western Australia, masks have been made mandatory in high-risk areas of public hospitals, while they’ve similarly been reintroduced in health-care settings in other parts of the country. Hospitals and aged care facilities are definitely the first places where masks need to be reinstated during an epidemic. But authorities are differing in their recommendations currently. Calls to mask up, particularly in the wider community, have not been unanimous. So...

    New American Prophet ^ | November 5, 2023 | Dr. Michael Brown
    I am urging you. I am pleading with you. I am imploring you. Wake up! The irrational hatred of the Jewish people and the demonizing of Israel is reaching proportions so dangerous that if people of conscience do not stand up, speak out, and push back, Jewish blood will start flowing in America, England, and many other countries around the world. Wake up! When Muslims in Sydney Australia are chanting, “Gas the Jews” you know that violence is near.
  • What is Captagon? ‘Poor Man’s Cocaine’ Is a Favorite of Mideast Militants

    10/25/2023 4:39:10 PM PDT · by nickcarraway · 9 replies
    Investigators found odd, little pills buried in the pockets of Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Oct. 7. They were later identified as the drug Captagon, a powerful, synthetic stimulant. Captagon gained international notoriety in 2015 when it was discovered to be used by ISIS fighters to suppress fear and fatigue prior to carrying out terrorist operations. Now, because it’s cheap, as well as easy to make and smuggle, Captagon and its counterfeits are likely to remain a favorite tool of extremist militant groups to enhance their soldiers’ violent tendencies. Some reports have even labeled Captagon as “the jihadists’ drug,”...
  • Behind the Curtain: Rattled U.S. government fears wars could spread

    Never before have we talked to so many top government officials who, in private, are so worried about so many overseas conflicts at once.Why it matters: We don't like to sound dire. But to sound a siren of clinical, clear-eyed realism: U.S. officials say this confluence of crises poses epic concern and historic danger. (snip)Former top intelligence officials tell us domestic unrest is one of their biggest fears — whether it's triggered by court rulings against former President Trump or protests over war in the Middle East.

    A family whose members are still "shielding" due to COVID more than three years after the pandemic started said they feel "forgotten" as the rest of the world moves on. Rob Boxall and his family, who live in the U.K., said that visitors have to isolate for two weeks before the family can see them, as SWNS, the British news service, reported. Boxall's wife, Mandy, has had seven COVID jabs — but still reportedly has no protection from the coronavirus.
  • Dept. Homeland Security Designates Pres. Trump Supporters Domestic Violent Extremists

    PatriotandLiberty ^ | 10/23 | Sundance
    The claim by Newsweek is rather alarming – that the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI consider President Trump supporters as domestic violent extremists (DVE’s) in combination with official designation from the FBI as “domestic terrorists.”There’s nothing within the article, the citations or the quotes from multiple anonymous officials within the domestic surveillance system, that will seem a surprise if you take away the hyperbolic use of adjectives and descriptive statements. Yes, to the Newsweek readers, anyone who would challenge their worldview or political position is dangerous; after all, these are the same people who equate words with violence.Remember, DHS...
  • Human metapneumovirus, HMPV: Virus you've likely never heard of suddenly surges in Australia - with thousands feared to have it right now

    09/26/2023 12:45:27 PM PDT · by algore · 46 replies
    A potentially deadly respiratory virus that few people even know exists is surging in Australia, with at least 1,168 people infected last week in NSW alone. Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) can cause upper and lower respiratory disease in all age groups, but it poses a greater danger to young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Though it usually causes a mild infection similar to the common cold - with nasal congestion, coughs, shortness of breath and a fever - complications can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia and can be fatal, especially among those who are immunocompromised, such as...

    The next major pandemic is coming. It’s already on the horizon, and could be far worse — killing millions more people — than the last one. We don’t yet know for certain what form it will take — just that its arrival, according to global health experts, is not just a possibility but a probability. To combat Disease X — as the World Health Organisation ominously calls it — we will once again need vaccines to be engineered and delivered in record time. But, as things stand, there is absolutely no guarantee that will happen. By contrast, we may well...

    COVID-19 has found itself quickly back in the news and just in time for the 2024 presidential election. The Biden administration, from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has been hyping the matter. President Joe Biden has called for Congress to fund yet another booster, and mask mandates have come back to movie studios, colleges and universities, and even elementary schools. When First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID earlier this month, the president was supposed to be following masking requirements, in accordance with his own CDC. At least, that's...

    A man who works at the front desk at a rock climbing gym said in a viral TikTok that people who work from home all day are now bringing "insane energy into public spaces." Speaking on behalf of fellow hospitality and retail workers, the TikToker Alec Flynn told 1.4 million viewers last week: "If you're working from home all day, you need to have at least one more conversation or interaction before you come to a public place."

    Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev once bragged, “We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.” This plan to conquer us without ‘firing a shot’ was put in effect and Manchurian candidates took up positions in our government, media, education, and entertainment sectors. Of course to actually take down the most powerful nation on earth, the enemy must first subdue the people, must tamp down resistance. Thus the insurgents have spent decades beating the American people into submission. This abuse isn’t physical but then abuse isn’t limited to fists. Verbal, emotional and psychological abuse can...

So I will be retiring at the end of the week and giving him the attention of one of the best instructors on the planet-- me.He asked me why I despised CNN and I told them their fear pornography was worse than standard...

    The headlines have returned: a new COVID variant may lead to the renaissance of enthusiasm for mask mandates. Though some may be thinking, “Not again,” there are many who never stopped living as they did in those two years when fear—symbolized by the face covering worn alone while driving vehicles and even when exercising—became a religion heralded by media and public health officials. However, Priscilla Romans, a former nurse and now a patient advocate, told The Epoch Times that there’s a better way. “People need to be empowered to take their health care back into their own hands so that...
