CNN is experiencing the “life comes at you fast” adage in real time as a poor government prediction it touted on skyrocketing gas prices came back to haunt the network. CNN reporter Matt Egan published a Dec. 8 story with a foolish headline that needs no explanation in light of recent news on gas prices: “Gas prices will tumble below $3 a gallon soon, government forecasts.” Egan propagandized the government’s crystal ball on Twitter: “Sub-$3 gas is coming soon? @EIAgov projects prices at the pump will average $2.88 in 2022. Fast-forward six months later, and CNN would run another story...

A Danish women’s rights activist challenged a man who wants to believe he is a lesbian. Men cannot be lesbians, she said, and men cannot be mothers. He was offended by her words and reported her to the police. The police opened an investigation. If convicted she faces up to three years in prison. It sounds unbelievable like something from Orwell’s 1984, but it’s a true story happening now. Selfishly, the man, who cannot be a lesbian nor a mother even after an investigation, is helping the Party to usher in Orwell’s dystopian thought police (“Thinkpol”). “The purpose of Newspeak...

Heavens to Betsy! The “far right” conspiracy theorist prophets are vindicated again. No longer “conspiracy theory,” youth blood-sucking is official “fact” because the gatekeeping corporate media now acknowledges it. Via The Telegraph: “As macabre as it sounds, science is beginning to discover that ‘youth transplants’ really can slow down the ageing process. The fountain of youth, it seems, is youth itself.” “Youth transplants” is a euphemism for sucking out the vital fluids of baby/child “donors” and injecting them into aging recipients: “Although nobody is suggesting we siphon the bodily fluids of youngsters into our elderly… infusing cerebrospinal fluid of young...

A massive spill of an unknown substance has been detected in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. According to the Swedish Coast Guard, who detected the spill on June 8, the affected surface area is 77 km2 (30 mi2) and is located in both Swedish and Finnish waters. “What the spill consists of is still not clear but it is not mineral oil, and there is currently no immediate threat of landfall,” the coast guard said. It said it had mapped the spill using planes and also collected samples, adding that it would not be able to comment...

[Puerto Rico] Gasoline Retailers Association President Esdras Vélez stated that, in order to mitigate the impact of the high cost of fuel on people's pockets, sales at gasoline stations have decreased by 20%. "At this time, consumption has been decreasing drastically [as shown by] general sales. What we are talking about is that stations are selling about 20% less than what would be sold during normal periods," Vélez reported to El Vocero [newspaper]. He indicated that, for three months now, gasoline retailers have begun to pay over 50% more in the price of regular gasoline, which, coupled with the volatile...

There are some ratings that Morning Joe likes to trumpet -- and others they prefer to bury. Take today's episode. The first half-hour went on—at length—about how the first night of the J6 committee hearings attracted 20 million viewers. Mika and Joe repeatedly made invidious comparisons between that viewership, and the ratings scored by Donald Trump's Apprentice shows. But then there are the ratings that Morning Joe definitely doesn't like to discuss. During Trump's time in office, every dip in his ratings became the subject of delighted discussion. But since Biden took over, his calamitous favorability ratings, such as these,...

In what appears to be a very promising breakthrough for the treatment of rectal cancer, a small drug trial conducted in the US found every patient treated in the experiment had their cancer successfully go into remission. The medication given, called dostarlimab and sold under the brand name Jemperli, is an immunotherapy drug used in the treatment of endometrial cancer, but this was the first clinical investigation of whether it was also effective against rectal cancer tumors. The early results reported so far suggest it is surprisingly effective, with the research team saying the successful cancer remission seen in every...

Klaus Schwab is the notorious founder of the Davos Initiative and author of several books describing the future. The time has come for us to finally open our eyes – the Great Reset is only the first step of a long-standing project to erase human beings as we them know today, and to pave the way for a trans human society where people will look like tamed slaves, remote-controlled in thinking, emotions and actions. Does it look like the plot for next Matrix movie? Think again, it is going to be a reality soon. Klaus Schwab is the notorious founder...

Western Washington’s cold and wet spring continues, as record amounts of rain and low temperatures contribute to high snowpack in north Puget Sound. On June 7, snowpack levels reached 157% of normal in the Nooksack River basin, according to data available from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service. “We definitely are holding the snow up there,” said Scott Pattee, a water supply specialist at the USDA’s office in Mount Vernon. “It’s just the cold temperatures and the cool, wet weather we’ve seen this spring.” Across the region, snowpack levels remain high late in the season,...

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) says Fox News' decision to not provide live coverage of the January 6 Committee hearings "is a cowardly betrayal of the American people. Every other news channel is covering the hearings. The unity of the nation requires that all news channels present the same information. If Fox won't do that voluntarily we need to explore methods for compelling them to do their patriotic duty." In addition to his irritation at the refusal to provide live coverage of the hearing, Schumer objected to Fox commentator Tucker Carlson's characterization of the continued holding of January 6...

I just found this animated spoof of Meghan and Harry. It’s very amusing. Language warning.

The CDC estimates that two Omicron subvariants experts have been watching closely now account for more than 7 percent of New England COVID-19 cases. The BA.4 subvariant accounts for 4.4 percent of cases, while the BA.5 subvariant accounts for 2.8 percent, the public health agency estimates. Nationally, BA.4 accounts for 5.4 percent of cases, while BA.5 accounts for an estimated 7.6 percent, according to the CDC estimates. The subvariants BA.2.12.1 and BA.2 still account for many more cases both nationally and in New England. In New England, BA.2.12.1 accounts for 64.5 percent of cases and BA.2 accounts for 28.3 percent...

Unless you’re visiting a medical facility still taken in by the mask-cult or you live in a big city or some obscure California county run by hypochondriac Democrat whack-jobs, you’re probably generally living your life without being forced to wear a useless, bacteria-laden piece of t-shirt material over your face. However, if your overlords have gone out of their way to clarify that mask mandates have only been lifted because Covid rates have gone down or even that recent iterations of the virus have become less deadly, they are purposefully missing the overall picture and slyly holding on to the...

Russian forces could be just weeks away from seizing control of the key Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine — as Ukrainian officials continued to appeal for more heavy weapons and ammunition from the West. An unnamed senior US defense official told The Washington Post that the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, which have seen some of the fiercest battles in recent weeks, could fall to Russia in the coming days. Russia has been making steady gains in the strategically important Donbas region — comprised of Luhanks and Donetsk — by pounding the area with heavy artillery day after day and...

In the anatomy of an economic crisis, a bank run is the point of no return. Bank runs occur when people scramble to withdraw cash from banks in fear of collapse. In the worst cases, banks’ liquid cash reserves are exhausted, not everyone gets their money and the bank defaults. It’s a grim scenario which, fortunately, has occurred rarely in history. The most significant bank runs in the United States took place during the 1930’s Great Depression. More recently, there were runs on numerous U.S. banks during the Financial Crisis in 2008. In Asia, bank runs have also been rare....

Prince William told the Queen and Prince Charles that he would pull out of today's Order of the Garter ceremony if his uncle Prince Andrew was given a public role, it was claimed today. The Duke of Cambridge's alleged ultimatum to his grandmother and father reportedly led to the Duke of York being banned from the Windsor Castle event amid fears the crowds might boo him. Prince Andrew looked downcast as he drove to Windsor Castle today as it was claimed his absence from the Windsor Castle procession and service was a 'family decision', Buckingham Palace said, amid huge controversy...

Osnat Mark @OsnathilaMark Tweeted ([https://twitter.com/OsnathilaMark/status/1536354169522626560 June 13, 2022]): Shocked by the terrible news about Sapir Nahum. This is no longer assimilation, this is national terrorism. Arab boys are captivating Jewish girls at risk, unsettling and in need of love. They are uprooted from the family and religion and are subjected to severe abuse. Unfortunately some cases end up in this horrible way too. We need to fight it like we fight terrorism.

Joe Biden has hit yet another record low for job approval on The Real Clear Politics poll average. He also hit an historic low disapproval number on Rassmussen's daily sample at 60%. The RCP average of 8 pools now stands at 55%D-39.3%A illustrating a spread of -15.7 for the Biden presidency.

Being the billionaire that he is, Soros has joined in on an $80 million venture to buy up large chunks of existing Spanish language media, including TelevisaUnivisión. The goal is to jump-start the Latino Media Network. Is this a business venture or a blatantly political act by leftist leaders? They are terrified that the Latino vote is slipping away from them. Biden supporters still blame Radio Mambi and other Spanish-language media outlets for Biden not winning Florida. They think simple-minded Latino voters were somehow deluded by what they heard. They want to stop the bleeding of these voters quickly. Enter...
