When District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich heard a challenge to the CDC’s new moratorium on evictions, I warned that the hearing didn’t go well for landlords or the US Constitution, see Federal Judge Signals She Will Allow CDC’s Illegal Eviction Moratorium Stay in Place. A little earlier today, Judge Friedrich made her ruling, and, as expected, it left the CDC action in place.A federal judge on Friday allowed the Biden administration’s new eviction moratorium to remain in place, saying she didn’t have authority to block it despite her misgivings about the ban’s legality.U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington said...

A warning from France. Just know the more this becomes entrenched the harder it will be to undo. There is no point being a spectator if you really care about the outcome. You should be supporting others in whatever way you can & giving them the information they need to be empowered and overcome fear & ignorance. This isn’t just about a ‘jab’ as we can plainly see. Copied From France Here in France it has gone to the extreme with the "Health" Pass. Last week on the 21st ALL restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and any leisure activities like sporting...

To state the obvious, there is something going on out there on the Right which is a little different. You see it clearly at the grass-roots level. It shows up brightly in the resistance to the latest round of COVID stupidity — mask mandates for school kids, vaccination discrimination in the workplace, and so on. But you’re even seeing it at the higher levels here and there. What you’re seeing is that Bush Republicanism, to use one of the terms to describe it, is dead. It might still be twitching, mind you; the abject stupidity of the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill...

The Obama Presidential Foundation takes possession of 19.3 acres in Jackson Park at 11:59 p.m. Friday for the Obama Center unless there is a last-minute delay needed for City Hall to scrutinize the foundation’s new IRS financial disclosure report. There will be no ceremony marking the official transfer, which was not publicly announced. The final legal documents will be electronically signed Friday at 9 p.m., a City Hall official said. An Obama Foundation spokesperson told the Sun-Times construction starts Monday in the park, designed by famed landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. In July 2016, then-President Barack Obama,...

Broward School Board Member Lori Alhadeff, the lone “no” vote on the board’s decision to continue a district-wide student mask mandate, said Wednesday she believes the requirement violates state law. “I do feel that the Board’s vote in favor of a mask mandate that neglects to include an opt-out does violate the law,” Alhadeff said in an email response to questions. “Governor DeSantis’ mandate is quite clear and straightforward in its semantics. I made my decision based solely on that language.” The board on Tuesday voted 8-1 to keep its mask mandate for students in place to begin the school...

First Lady Jill Biden is displaying Hunter Biden’s “art” in her taxpayer funded White House office amid a scheme to sell the works to “anonymous” investors for up to $500,000, the New York Times revealed Friday. It is unknown if the piece of art is displayed to promote Hunter’s validity as a novice artist, or if the display is meant to promote his art to those who may meet with Jill Biden in her office.

Michael Green has filed a class action lawsuit initially representing 1,200 first responders against the Governor's vaccine mandates with thousands more expected to join. Honolulu Fire Captain Kaimi Pelekai gives an emotional testimony about losing his job because he doesn't want to put this experimental vaccine in his body after spending the last year taking care of COVID-19 patients. Attorney Sean Williams says that there are already effective treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. And, according to the CDC, it is unnecessary to test asymptomatic people because they do not spread the virus. https://www.bitchute.com/video/YuNZBGeMWlEn/

American soldiers would often show up at villages in rural areas of Afghanistan to win the 'hearts and minds' of the locals only to learn that they not only don't understand what America is, but aren't even aware that they're living in a country called Afghanistan. And don't especially care. Afghanistan is an imaginary country. Much like Iraq and Syria. These places have history, but the idea of a country is an external concept embraced by local elites who want centralized authority, but resisted by locals in rural areas.

This afternoon, in an exclusive interview, 100 Percent Fed Up spoke extensively with Mike Lindell. During our discussion, we were able to clear up much of the misinformation about the incident that took place in the lobby of the Sioux Falls Sheraton hotel on Wednesday evening. According to the popular My Pillow CEO, the attack took place in the lobby of his hotel as he returned from dinner with Kendra Reeves, a beautiful Christian woman with whom Mike has been in a committed relationship since 2014. Mike explained how he and Kendra had just returned to the lobby of the...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Hernando County commission meeting on Friday turned into a plea to take the COVID-19 pandemic more seriously as cases increase in Florida, overwhelming and infecting hospital staff and emergency rooms. Mickey Smith, the CEO of Oak Hill Hospital in Brooksville addressed the county commission and answered questions about how the hospital is faring during the latest COVID surge. “We have 133 COVID-positive patients out of our 309 total patients in the hospital,” Smith said. “We’ve now had to dedicate five nursing units to COVID. We are very close to our ICU being filled with COVID...

A total of 63 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for Covid- 19 since former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday extravaganza last Saturday, more than any week since April. -snip- Hundreds of people attended Obama's birthday bash Saturday, flying in from around the country and congregating under tents where partiers danced, ate and drank the night away on his estate in Edgartown. He gathered with friends Thursday at the Barn Bowl & Bistro, joined a larger kick-off celebration Friday at the luxury Winnetu Oceanside Resort. Obama followed up his party with a brunch Sunday at Beach Road restaurant, dining...

Two St. Louis deputies were dismissed last month for working on progressive Rep. Cori Bush’s security detail without permission — days before the “Squad” member defended spending tens of thousands of campaign dollars on private protection while pushing to “defund the police.” St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts told KMOV that he initially warned now-former deputies Tylance Jackson and Maurice Thompson to quit moonlighting as muscle for Bush (D-Mo.) and fill out the proper forms after they accompanied her on a tour of St. Louis jails in April. However, Betts said he was told by Veterans Affairs Police several weeks later...

Can you imagine somebody walking around with the power that Elisha and Elijah had and the power that Peter and Paul had—all at the same time? It’s about to happen! If you’ll get your act straightened up and get yourselvesmoving in the Spirit of God, it will happen to you!…I asked the Lord one time,“Lord how will you do that? How can you make the sun not shine?” He told me He will block out its light with the cloud of His glory…God said to me,“I’ll make that cloud get so thick on whole cities, that people can’t see the...

Two women told Sports Illustrated in a story published Friday that they resent some of the tactics NFL investigators used in interviews with them regarding their contact with Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Ashley Solis told SI that NFL investigators asked her what she was wearing when she worked with Watson... "She explained that that's something that she has to ask -- which I don't believe at all," Solis told SI. NFL investigators Lisa Friel and Jennifer Gaffney, former prosecutors now running the league's personal conduct policy investigations, were the ones who talked to Solis, Lauren Baxley and another eight...

Following UMich’s sentiment slump in July, analysts expect a further (modest) slide in Americans’ confidence in preliminary August data this morning. They wewre wrong, very wrong! Sentiment crashed in early August data according to UMich Sentiment survey with the headline plunging from 81.2 to 70.0 – that is weaker than the April 2020 COVID crisis lows…Worse still, ‘expectations’ collapsed too. “just 32% of consumers thought that the economy would improve, well below last month’s 45% and the 50% in June” Over the past half century, the Sentiment Index has only recorded larger losses in six other surveys, all connected to...

Financial markets believe in Goldilocks. Having become more concerned about inflationary pressures over the first five months of the year, their current consensus is that price rises in the US and other advanced economies will be neither too hot nor too cold in the years ahead. The gap in yields between nominal US government bonds and inflation-protected bonds has settled at a little over 2 per cent for the next 10 years. As Goldilocks would say, that is “just right”, allowing a high-pressure economy to maintain robust jobs growth and a gradual normalisation of monetary policy. But reality is messier...

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality. They discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits—the basic units of information in a silicon quantum processor. Until now, quantum computer engineers and scientists have worked with a proof-of-concept model of quantum processors by demonstrating the control of only a handful of qubits. But with their latest research, published today in Science Advances, the team have found what they consider "the missing jigsaw piece" in the quantum computer architecture that...
