  • Washington Post says poll showing Trump beating Biden likely an ‘outlier’

    The Washington Post ^ | 9/24/2023 | Nazzaro
    The Washington Post said Sunday that its poll with ABC News showing former President Trump beating President Biden is likely an “outlier,” citing other polls that show the two candidates in a dead heat. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday found Biden trailing Trump with 42 percent support, compared to Trump with 51 percent support. In its analysis of the poll, the Post said Trump’s strong lead is “significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat,” a difference that suggests the data point is probably an outlier.

    MOSCOW, September 25. /TASS/. Ukraine is fated either to capitulate on Moscow’s terms or cease to exist as a state, Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament), said. "When speaking about the conflict in Ukraine, [US President Joe] Biden, [NATO Secretary General Jens] Stoltenberg and other Western officials have started calling it 'a war of attrition.' They have put huge amounts of money into militarizing the Kiev regime. Where has it gotten them? The simple facts are these: the West is experiencing weapons and ammunition shortages, people in Europe and the US have lost trust...
  • Companies are declaring bankruptcy, individuals are failing to meet loan obligations, yet Janet Yellen has stated, “I don’t see any sign that the economy is in risk of a downturn.”

So the y-axis is the number of companies filing for bankruptcy, so a peak of an average of about 8.5 a month. Credit card losses are rising at the fastest pace since the Great Financial Crisis

    Suspicions were raised about the operations of a Chinese-linked biolab in central California far earlier than previously known, according to a review of hundreds of internal emails, documents and photographs obtained by Fox News. Two California state agencies called on by the city of Fresno to intervene in the matter tell Fox they had no authority to get involved but the delay of local and state officials to take action in fall 2022 appears to have allowed lab workers to empty a warehouse full of dangerous biological agents, lab mice, chemicals and equipment. A trove of emails obtained through a...

    "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4 1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that...
  • The "American Pie" Reaches His Second Australian Rules Football Grand Final - Aussie Rules Footy Is Still Pure

    On this day two years ago I satirically declared Melbourne, Australia’s sporting capitol, dead. I did that because stupid lockdowns deprived Melbourne of the Australian Rules Grand Final in the birthplace of the game. The ridiculous banning and incarceration of Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open tennis tournament last year strengthened that assertion. But the sheer love of sport in the hearts of the Australian people, especially Melburnians, might offer some consolations. I write this post a couple of hours before the count in the Brownlow Medal, the most prestigious individual award in Australian football. In this award, the umpires...

    A family home was lit on fire after their 'electric car' reportedly exploded while sitting in their driveway. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service rushed to a family home in Bromborough, Wirral at around 10pm on Saturday night after receiving reports that a car was on fire.

One man told the Echo that after speaking to the owners of the car this morning they...

    Former president Donald Trump poured fuel on his simmering feud with Howard Stern Saturday, ripping the self-described “King of All Media” as a “broken weirdo” who “went woke.” “The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience,” Trump — a former and frequent guest on Stern’s raucous radio show — wrote on Truth Social. “I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went woke, and nobody cares about him any longer,” he continued. The shock jock’s “influence is gone, and without that, he’s...

  • From playgrounds to parade grounds: Russian schools are becoming increasingly militarized

    CNN ^ | Sun September 24, 2023 | Tim Lister and Katharina Krebs
    Russia’s playgrounds are becoming parade grounds. At schools from the Pacific to the Black Sea, children in nursery grade don uniforms and take part in marching practice. Older kids are being taught how to dig trenches, throw grenades and shoot with real ammunition. In schools across the country, service in the armed forces is being glorified, “voluntary companies” of teenagers are being formed and the national curriculum is being changed to emphasize defense of the motherland. In short, Russia’s children are being prepared for war. The militarization of Russia’s public schools has intensified since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, driven...

    Watts Up With That? ^ | 9/24/2023 | Paul Homewood
    The average cost of second hand electric cars is plummeting by a “phenomenal amount” as they sit for “months on end” without any buyers. Research by online motor marketplace, AutoTrader, revealed the average price for a used EV has dropped by 21.4 per cent this month, compared to a year ago. Marc Palmer, the head of strategy and insights at AutoTrader, told MailOnline: “The used market will now be slower to mature. There will be fewer new EVs registered and fewer used cars coming to market. “There will be sections of the public, especially those who are sceptical, who will...

By reaffirming our commitment to developing nations, we are building the century of the people of the south,” said Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro as the “G77+China” summit commenced in Havana. The conference, which was attended by more than 100 countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Nicaragua was replete with speeches calling for a new world order – an order where China leads and the US follows.

    The Philippines has condemned the Chinese coast guard for installing what it called a "floating barrier" in a disputed area of the South China Sea, saying that it prevented Filipino boats from entering and fishing in the area. In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Philippine coast guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said on Sunday the floating barrier was discovered by Philippine vessels during a routine maritime patrol on Friday and measured around 300 metres. "The Philippine coast guard and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources strongly condemn the China coast guard's installation of a floating barrier in the...

    In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth, then on the sixth day HE created man. Yet man was lonely for there was no mate to be found for him.So GOD put his crowning creation, Adam, in a deep sleep and created for him a helpmeet from his side. Thus the Lion of man was separated from the Lamb of man. Not that man was a god, but the Lion/lamb in him was the nature of how he would be. So when GOD took woman from his side, man’s nature was in essence split in two. The man...

    HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam plans to restart its biggest rare-earths mine next year with a Western-backed project that could rival the world's largest, according to two companies involved, as part of a broader push to dent China's dominance in a sector that helps power advanced technologies. The move would be a step toward the Southeast Asian country's aim of building up a rare-earths supply chain, including developing its capacity to refine ores into metals used in magnets for electric vehicles, smartphones and wind turbines. As an initial step, Vietnam's government intends to launch tenders for multiple blocks of its Dong...
