By now, everybody on our side of the aisle knows - or at least ought to know - that pretty much everything you see at “official” informational levels is fake. And keep in mind that by “official,” I don’t just mean governmental sources but also the type of public-private collusion that we’ve all known takes place, at an instinctual level, but is now being revealed as undeniable fact. This fact is the essential basis of Moldbug and neoreaction’s terminology about “the Cathedral,” which specifically refers to the use of directionally channeled information gathering and distribution by various “soft power” institutions...

Americans are fed up with Democrat policies and the Biden administration and Democrats know it. (snip) Newsom didn’t attribute Democrat policies on the economy, crime, Covid or border security to the GOP’s advantage ahead of the election.It’s the Democrat Party’s inability to galvanize support for its narratives that will result in a red wave, he argued.“It goes to my fundamental grievance with my damn party,” Newsome lamented. “We are getting crushed on narrative”

NASA... gears up for another attempt to get the Artemis I mission off the ground...November 14, with a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. ET. The launch will stream live on NASA’s website. he rocket had been stowed away for weeks after issues with fuel leaks that thwarted the first two launch attempts and then a hurricane rolled through Florida, forcing the rocket to vacate the launchpad and head for safety. The Artemis team again is monitoring a storm that could be heading toward Florida, but officials felt confident to move ahead with rollout, according to Jim Free,...

I posted this a few weeks ago, but I decided to share it again because so many FReepers thought I was crazy 2 weeks ago. Well, now everyone is talking about a massive wave, where even Soccer Moms in suburbia are breaking heavy for Republicans. (an old saying, the most dangerous place to be is between a mother and her child) Well today I believe we will win even bigger than I did 2 weeks ago. Dare I claim we could actually win 100 House seats, and possibly win 10 Senate seats? Could happen if Chuck Schumer is really in...

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

Ana Navarro, a CNN analyst and co-host of ABC’s “The View” criticized President Biden over what she called an insufficient effort to reach Hispanic voters. “I’ll tell you something, the Biden administration sucks at tooting their own horn. I told them this to their own face,” Navarro said during a discussion on “CNN Tonight.” “Look, they’ve done things like issue temporary protective status for Venezuelans, which is a very big deal for the Hispanic community. But they don’t toot their own horn.” Former president Trump, by comparison, Navarro argued, “did very little things,” for the Hispanic community, but did a...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Popular stand-up comic Judy Tenuta, known to her fans as “The Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of the Accordion,” died of ovarian cancer on Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles. She was 72. Known for her acerbic humor, expletive-laden jokes, raspy voice and accordion playing, she was among the performers who fueled the popularity of live comedy in clubs, including the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Laff Stop in Houston and Caroline’s in New York City. Tenuta co-starred with Bruce Vilanch in the indie “Sister Mary,” and had small roles in “Gibsonburg” and Hillary and Haley Duff’s “Material Girls.” Her TV work...

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has shaken the fascist Left to its core; nothing seems to be more frightening to Leftists than the prospect of free and open discourse. But the euphoria among patriots and fear and rage among Leftists may both have been premature: Musk announced early Wednesday morning that he had talked with a group of “civil society leaders” about how “Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies.”Almost every one of the “leaders” with which Musk spoke was among the nation’s most prominent Leftists, and there was nary a critic of...

Ever since her election to Congress in 2018, Ilhan Omar been conducting her very own foreign policy, not just against Israel, that in her view can do no right, and for the Palestinians, who can do no wrong, but also to help Somalia attract more investment from Turkey, to support President Erdogan’s rejection of the charge of an Armenian “genocide”; to make the case for the jihadists in Kashmir who want to force Indian troops out of the area; and, of course, to promote the agenda of CAIR, that rewards her handsomely as one of their favorite speakers. Omar apparently...

President Biden just lost one of his midterm election talking points. “The U-3 unemployment rate the lowest since (garbled) at 3.5%!” Because it now has risen in October to 3.7%. Private payrolls added 233k jobs in October, which is a -27% decline from September’s revised private payroll figures. The good news? Average hourly earnings growth is still positive, but fell to 3.7% YoY. But with inflation raging at 8.2% YoY, workers are getting clobbered by inflation. Here is the rest of the story. The Fed is now green-lighted to raise rates even higher. Biden’s campaign promise was to unite rather...

SEOUL, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- South Korea scrambled fighter jets after detecting North Korean warplanes flying north of the border for four hours on Friday, Seoul defense officials said. South Korea's military detected about 180 flights of North Korean military aircraft between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the defense ministry said in a text message to reporters. In response, South Korea "urgently scrambled its superior air force," including around 80 F-35A stealth fighter jets, the message said.

It costs a jaw-dropping $85,536 a year to attend the University of Chicago as an undergraduate and live on campus, but it’s worth every penny. For that money your son, daughter, or offspring of indeterminate gender can tackle some of the real problems that are bedeviling our society today. They can take a course entitled “The Problem of Whiteness,” which is part of the university’s rollicking “Critical Race and Ethnic Studies” curriculum. Yes, $85,536 for this crude racist indoctrination.As you might expect, the whole thing is couched in gobs of pseudo-intellectual verbiage loaded with the favored campus buzzwords of the...

A document for doctors in Canada has suggested that they bring up the topic of euthanasia before their patients do if the patient is eligible and it is “medically relevant.” The document, which was created by those who provided medically assisted suicide services or MAID (Medical assistance in dying), claims that doctors not only should bring up euthanasia with their patients but that they have an obligation to do so. The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers, who produced the document, claims that as long as the doctor is not trying to convince or persuade the patient to end...

Hey @AP, why does your headline make a Palestinian terrorist the primary subject without even identifying him as the murderer of the Israeli man? #HeadlineFail https://twitter.com/HonestReporting/status/1586716850964103169 Hebron Hatchet Job: Three Ways the Media Misreported Israel’s Latest Terror Atrocity by Akiva Van Koningsveld, Oct 31, 2022 https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/10/31/hebron-hatchet-job-three-ways-the-media-misreported-israels-latest-terror-atrocity/

The “red wave” that is coming on Tuesday is a rebellion by the American people themselves against the excesses of big government and a “woke” left-wing ideology that has been imposed on every aspect of our lives, making our society less safe and more unhappy. Democrats know what is coming. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitted this week that a “red wave” is on the way. He added that his party is being “crushed” on “messaging,” arguing there is nothing wrong with Democrats’ policies, just their rhetoric.

Benjamin Netanyahu has become prime minister of Israel for a record third time as interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid called him on Thursday evening to concede defeat. The election was close, but in the end, Netanyahu’s coalition of right-wing religious parties edged out Lapid’s coalition of moderate, labor, and Arab parties by winning 64 of the 120 seats. Netanyahu first served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999, and then again from 2009 to 2021. He is currently on trial in three different courts on corruption charges, casting a cloud over this continued service. Times of Israel:All eyes are expected...

The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report on Friday shifted its forecast of control for the Senate toward Republicans just four days out from the November midterms. Jessica Taylor, the Senate and governors editor for the Cook Political Report, said in her analysis that they were shifting their forecast of the race away from Democrats because the national environment as of late has been seen as more favorable toward Republicans and that issues like the economy and inflation are resonating more with voters now than abortion.
