I want to thank the now-former climate and conservation manager at the State Water Resources Control Board who last month quit his job, then widely distributed an email telling many of his co-workers what he truly thinks of them. He gave us the clearest proof yet that the water board is exactly what I and many others have accused it of being — loaded with activist staff who routinely undermine their own board members by presenting selective, misleading, or just inaccurate information and calling it fact. In the process of quitting, this ideological zealot outed his efforts to work as...

Former President Donald Trump called for dissolving the January 6 Committee in the wake of Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) primary loss, deeming her defeat a “referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt.”“I assume that with the very big Liz Cheney loss, far bigger than had ever been anticipated, the January 6th Committee of political Hacks and Thugs will quickly begin the beautiful process of DISSOLUTION?” Trump said in a TruthSocial post on election night.“This was a referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt. The people have spoken!” he exclaimed:Indeed, Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman secured a victory in the highly anticipated race...

The Biden administration wants Israel to review its “rules of engagement” during military operations in Judea and Samaria after the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, three Israeli and US sources briefed on the call told Barak Ravid of Axios on Wednesday. US pressure for Israel to review the guidelines is unusual, but comes as the Biden administration faces pressure to do more to ensure accountability in Abu Aqleh's death. The rules of engagement define the circumstances under which Israeli soldiers can use live fire. Abu Aqleh, an American-Palestinian Arab, was shot dead on May 11 while covering...

I first saw this on El Gato Malo's Substack a few days ago. This is not the way to notify the American public you were wrong. Especially on something this important.Steve Kirsch6 hr ago What happens when the scientific evidence is so clear about the spike protein from the COVID vaccines remaining in your body that the CDC has to admit they were wrong?They just delete the inaccurate statement and say nothing. Nothing! The mainstream press doesn’t pick it up at all of course. There was no press release or anything to let people know.Instead, the CDC relies on a...

“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:15-17).

A huge explosion struck a mosque in Kabul during evening prayers on Wednesday, witnesses and police said, with many feared dead or injured. Police said there were multiple casualties but did not say how many. One Taliban intelligence official told Reuters that as many as 35 people may have been wounded or killed, and the toll could rise further. Al Jazeera quoted an unidentified official as giving a death toll of 20.

Some drinks made by Lyons Magnus, a food and beverage manufacturer, were recalled within the last couple of weeks. A variety of plant milks, protein shakes and coffee drinks sold by different brands have been pulled from store shelves. On Tuesday, the company expanded the recall to include more products in an update posted to the US Food and Drug Administration's website. The reason for the recall, according to the FDA and Lyons Magnus, is that the products "did not meet commercial sterility specifications." They could potentially be contaminated with organisms, including the one that causes botulism, according to Lyons...

Arguably, if you wanted to kill off Western Civilization at its root, massive transgenderism would be a good way to do it—just convince children that the developmental issues so many normally have are serious cases of gender dysphoria, and switching sexual identities is their road to salvation. More likely, it’s a road to suicide. Cui bono? Big Pharma, of course. Once a child takes the first medical step into being transgendered, he or she (or whatever they want to call themselves) is on the way to spending millions on their health care over a lifetime. If you didn’t despise Big...

Secretary of the U S Treasury, Janet Yelling, announced today that the new army of 87,000 new armed IRS agents will be staffed with veterans and minorities. To achieve this goal, Yelling announced a recruitment meeting with the leaders of ANTIFA and BLM. Veteran ANTFA members and BLM members with at least 5 riots under their belts will be given precedence in hiring at the IRS for the new positions. Yelling explained that educational requirements would be waived as street combat, arson, asset seizure, intimidation, etc. skills will be more important in these positions than ciphering or summing.

Explanation: There is a huge gate of stars in the sky, and you pass through it twice a day. The stargate is actually our Milky Way Galaxy, and it is the spin of the Earth that appears to propel you through it. More typically, the central band of our Milky Way appears as a faint band stretching across the sky, only visible in away from bright city lights. In a long-exposure wide-angle image from a dark location like this, though, the Milky Way's central plane is easily visible. The featured picture is a digital composite involving multiple exposures taken on...

The first units of the state-of-the-art reconnaissance drones DJI Matrice 300 RTK have been assigned to Ukrainian soldiers. Field tests will be conducted in the near future.

However, according to an earlier announcement, an agreement to purchase 78 units of Matrice 300 RTK has been signed with DJI, and the first units have arrived to the country in the...

Kari Lake made this ad and then ran it during a break in a news broadcast. One of the best political ads I've ever seen.

Patrick Henry High School in north Minneapolis will soon go by a different name. The Minneapolis Public Schools board voted unanimously on Tuesday to start the process of changing the school's name, something that has been the subject of discussions since 2017. The name comes from an 18th-century Virginia politician who owned slaves. He was part of the coalition that signed the Declaration of Independence and is famously known for saying "Give me liberty or give me death" during discussions leading up to the Revolutionary War. The school has been considering a name change since some students and staff expressed...

BEIJING (AP) — Factories in China’s southwest have shut down and a city imposed rolling blackouts after reservoirs to generate hydropower ran low in a worsening drought, adding to economic strains at a time when President Xi Jinping is trying to extend his hold on power. Companies in Sichuan province including makers of solar panels, cement and urea closed or reduced production after they were ordered to ration power for up to five days, according to news reports Wednesday. That came after reservoir levels fell and power demand for air conditioning surged in scorching temperatures. “Leave power for the people,”...

To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory. In the flood of technical astronomical papers published online since July 12, the authors report again and again that the images show surprisingly many galaxies, galaxies that are surprisingly smooth, surprisingly small and surprisingly old. Lots of surprises, and not necessarily pleasant ones. One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: “Panic!”Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? And what...

Walmart Inc. said Tuesday that it has canceled billions of dollars in orders as part of a continued effort to align inventory levels with projected demand and to reduce its exposure to certain products that have fallen out of favor with budget-conscious consumers. The nation’s largest retailer (NYSE: WMT) said its U.S. division reported a 26% increase in fiscal second-quarter 2023 inventory levels compared with the same period in fiscal 2022. This was a 750-basis-point improvement over a nightmarish fiscal 2023 first quarter when Walmart got blindsided by a combination of rapidly rising costs and a mix of higher-end inventory...
