While the brilliant people of Israel have built enough desalination plants to end their water shortages, and the country pays only 40 cents per cubic meter for as much water as people want, all in a densely populated country which is a desert with perpetual drought, the idiotic people of California have chosen to reject desalination in favor of continued water shortages.But that doesn’t mean that California doesn’t have a plan for its water.California is planning to remove all of the racism from its water. This is the text of their plan:https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/board_info/agendas/2023/jan/011823_4STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARDBOARD MEETING SESSION – EXECUTIVE...

I will miss Dr. Gina. I'm not that familiar with Stinchfield, although rumors are he may have been fired from NewsMax for refusing the vaxx. Interested in Freeper thoughts, thanks.

“Get woke, go broke.” It’s a phrase people coined to describe the failure of Hollywood’s recent politics-drenched efforts at blockbuster films, from which viewers stayed away in droves. But now it applies to another field: higher education. College and graduate degrees were comparatively rare before about 1970. People could be quite successful without them, and there was little stigma attached to their absence. That changed as the baby boomers and the GI Bill hit colleges. By the 1970s, college became an essential ticket to entry in the managerial and professional classes (and even to military promotions). Where higher ed had...

Pfizer’s new COVID-19 booster ad starring Martha Stewart is both rather odd and strangely compelling to watch in a definitive departure from its previous conservative vaccine commercials. The 30-second spot, “Unwelcome Guest,” features Stewart in her beautifully perfect kitchen calmly sharpening a massive Samurai sword. As sparks fly, she says, “You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would leave already? That’s COVID-19.” She expands on how the new updated Pfizer shot protects against the so-called omicron variant.

The sign in the background was just the icing on the cake: And the two Texans who shook hands while the perp was being cuffed by the police.

VIDEOJoe Biden has a history of plagiarizing speeches so is it possible that he will soon need to plagiarize this particular speech?

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Senate Joint Memorial 2, also known as the Greater Idaho bill, was introduced on the floor of the Oregon legislature by Republican state Senator Dennis Linthicum of Klamath Falls on Jan. 10. The bill requests “discussion between Oregon and Idaho governments regarding relocation of Oregon and Idaho border,” according to the bill text. Voters in 11 eastern Oregon counties have already approved ballot measures indicating their support for joining the State of Idaho. “Eastern Oregon is culturally, politically, economically much more similar to Idaho than it is to western Oregon,” said Matt McCaw, a Grater Idaho...

U.K political commentator Neil Oliver uses his weekly monologue on GB News to note the recently forbidden conversation about vaccine injuries and potential deaths therein. Curiously, though the monologue was broadcast, and captured by a viewer, this specific outline (and transcript) is absent from the official site record. Regardless, as noted by Mr. Oliver, until recently it was imperative that questions about vaccine status were demanded in order to participate in society. However, now that attention is being cast upon various seemingly healthy young people collapsing from heart ailments, suddenly inquiring about their vaccinated status is verboten. Asking questions is...

A safety monitoring system flagged that US drugmaker Pfizer Inc PFE.N and German partner BioNTech's BNTX.O updated COVID-19 shot could be linked to a type of brain stroke in older adults, according to preliminary data analyzed by US health authorities. What are the potential health consequences of the vaccines? The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that a CDC vaccine database had uncovered a possible safety issue in which people 65 and older were more likely to have an ischemic stroke 21 days after receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech bivalent...

If you are going to claim that more athletes have been suffering cardiac arrests and dying over the past two years, you had better sport some real numbers. Some real legitimate verifiable numbers. But that’s not what Tucker Carlson did on his FOX News show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” when he made such a claim. Instead of real numbers, he mentioned a letter. One letter. One letter to the editor of a medical journal to be exact. But Carlson didn’t even specify that it was a letter in the episode of this show. The episode came after Buffalo Bills safety Damar...

The day was September 20, 1958. Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., then 29, was in a Harlem department store, signing copies of Stride Toward Freedom, his account of the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott which he led. He was suddenly approached by a 42-year-old well-dressed woman, who asked him: “Are you Martin Luther King?” “Yes,” King replied, without looking up from where he was signing his book. The stylishly dressed woman, who would later be identified as Izola Ware Curry, said: “I’ve been looking for you for five years,” and plunged a 7-inch, ivory-handled steel letter opener into King’s chest. Curry...

More than half of Britain's universities are teaching students a "woke ideology", a new league table has claimed.The table, put together by right-wing think thank Civitas, found that many students were being given "trigger warnings" for upsetting material, and were being taught about "white privilege" in "a new moralism that reeks of hypocrisy". Top universities dominate the list, with eight Russell Group institutions in the top ten. Cambridge and Oxford are first and second respectively, with "unconscious bias" events for freshers. Bristol is third, having discouraged the word "mankind" to be more inclusive. A Conservative MP and former education the...

Former California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner slammed the Los Angeles Police Department chief for going "woke" after the LAPD banned the display of the Thin Blue Line Flag over a complaint that it symbolized "extremist" views. The LAPD announced that it was banning the Thin Blue Line flag, which represents fallen officers, from public areas within police departments last week after receiving a single complaint that the flag represented "violent, extremist views." Jenner, a Fox News contributor, blamed LAPD Chief Michel Moore for the move, telling Fox News that it will further demoralize a police department already grappling with low...

The season opens more than a month later than usual with new gear restrictionsNew Year’s Eve marked more than just the start of 2023 for fishermen on the central coast. It was also the start of the commercial Dungeness crab season. The fishery traditionally opened around November 15, but the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has delayed the season in recent years in an effort to reduce the number of whale entanglements. CDFW followed the delay this year with a 50% gear reduction, meaning fishermen must keep half their allotted traps on board. Vertical fishing lines connect crab...

A zip line has become a lifeline for a Corralitos community after their access bridge was washed away in storm waters this winter. Darrell Hardy set up the line New Year's weekend when he thought the bridge connecting his community to the main road might go out. "KSBW was talking about all the weather that was coming in and I went, 'ho ho that bridge is not looking good,' so I went ahead and set up the zip line," said Hardy. The Corralitos man said he's happy he did by the second weekend in January, the bridge crossing Corralitos Creek...
