    (The Center Square) – Non-profit public interest group Government Accountability Oversight has filed a lawsuit against Wisconsin’s Department of State for refusing to disclose records regarding alleged donor-financed climate activists working in state departments. “Basic factual information like this is not privileged,” said Tom Kamenick, president of the Wisconsin Transparency Project which is representing GAO in court. “[The] Record custodian must redact privileged information and release the remainder – they cannot simply withhold the entire record. We are asking a judge to review these emails and determine whether they really are privileged.” GAO has alleged the U.S. Climate Alliance –...

    By September 1, the school administration demanded that toilet paper, napkins, and liquid soap be brought in. The mayor's office conducted an inspection and stated that this was unacceptable. A shopping list was given to parents of students at School No. 38. It included liquid soap, at least 200 napkins, two rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, and copy paper. It was noted that all purchases had to be put in a separate bag and signed. The parents were not told what purposes this was all being collected for. The press service of the Petrozavodsk administration told Pod’yom that...

    The Canadian owner of Circle K convenience stores has made a bid to buy 7-Eleven in what would be the biggest foreign takeover of a Japanese company on record and the largest cross-border acquisition this year. In a statement Monday, Seven & I Holdings, the operator of 7-Eleven, confirmed it had received an offer from Canada’s Alimentation Couche-Tard to acquire all of its outstanding shares. Seven & I said it had formed a “special committee” to evaluate the proposal and that no decision had yet been made. “The special committee intends to conduct a prompt, careful, and comprehensive review of...

    CHICAGO, Illinois — Vice President Kamala Harris has hired disgraced “Russia collusion” hoaxer Marc Elias to help lead her massive team of election lawyers as they prepare to fight former President Donald Trump and the Republicans over voting results. Elias will join a team of lawyers that is reportedly ten times larger than the team of 600 lawyers that then-candidate Joe Biden boasted he had hired in the summer of 2020 to challenge election results in close contests nationwide.

    “Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, ‘In the mount of the Lord it will be provided’” (Genesis 22:13-14). When God provides for a believer, He’s being true to His name. The Old Testament gives God many names, but one of the most lovely is Jehovah-Jireh, translated in...

    Adam Andrzejewski, CEO and founder of the influential government oversight group Open the Books, passed away suddenly over the weekend. His cause of death has not yet been divulged. Andrzejewski was a former candidate for Governor of Illinois and campaigned ferociously for the vision of putting “Every Dime [of government spending] Online and “In Real Time” in a long-standing effort to keep government accountable to the public. Tributes poured in for Andrzejewski, with Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya stating: “Sad news. Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open the Books, has died. Adam was a brilliant young man.

    Recycling activities for lead-acid batteries. Credit: Dr. Chris Kinally ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New research exposes dangerous lead levels from Malawi’s informal solar battery recycling, calling for urgent waste management reforms. Researchers at The University of Manchester have identified dangerous levels of lead pollution in Malawi due to informal recycling of lead-acid batteries from off-grid solar systems. Common informal recycling activities for lead-acid batteries used in solar energy systems were recorded to release 3.5-4.7 kg of lead pollution from a typical battery, equivalent to more than 100 times the lethal oral dose of lead for an adult. These findings were recently published in...

    American Thinker ^ | 20 Aug, 2024 | Alexander G. Markovsky
    Few historical events can compare to the stark contrast between boundless optimism and harsh reality and grand aspirations and futile delusions, as seen in socialism’s proliferation. Its ascent and decline represent one of the most sorrowful chapters of the past century. SNIP The architect of the new strategy was Barack Obama, an ardent Marxist who possessed a deeper understanding of Marxism than most of his modern counterparts. Obama has challenged fundamental tenets of the ideology. Contrary to Karl Marx’s dogma that the transition to socialism must be accomplished through violent struggle by the organized working class—the proletariat who had “nothing...

    Republican VP nominee JD Vance has said tasking Kamala Harris with reining in inflation would be tantamount to putting notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein in charge of anti-human trafficking — and accused the Democratic candidate of “doubling down” on the failed policies of the current administration. Harris, 59, unveiled a suit of economic policies on Friday aimed at shoring up her standing with voters who blame the Biden-Harris administration for a spike in the cost of living. “Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, Shannon, it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. The American people are much...

    Israeli forces conducted a daring and difficult operation in the tunnels under Khan Yunis, in Gaza, on Monday night to retrieve the bodies of six hostages who died in Hamas captivity. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (ISA, or Shin Bet, or Shabak) said in a joint statement: Overnight (Monday), in a joint IDF and ISA operation, the bodies of the hostages Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Perry were rescued from the Khan Yunis area in the Gaza Strip. The rescue operation was conducted under the command of the 98th...

    ISLAMABAD: Afghanistan’s interim government on Tuesday angrily reacted to remarks by Pakistan’s special representative Asif Khan Durrani, in which he claimed that another 9/11 could “originate from Afghanistan.” Ambassador Durrani, speaking at the ‘Ambassadors’ Lounge’ this week spoke about the presence of different armed groups, including the Islamic State Khorasan Province (Daesh), and described these groups as a major challenge for the region and the world. When Ambassador Durrani was asked what the implications would be for the international community if it ends up Afghanistan as a forgotten crisis and if the international community failed to live up to the...

    The Democrats made sure Joe Biden's big night would have him starting late, when viewers would be headed for bed. With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night. In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities. I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president. Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite...
  • Humiliating Mistakes Quickly Spotted as Democrats Release 2024 Platform: 'They're Accidentally Telling the Truth'

    Western Journal ^ | August 19, 2024 | Laura Wellington
    Kamala Harris is a cut-and-paste nominee. If you’ve ever questioned it, you needn’t do so any longer. The Democrats confirmed it through several humiliating mistakes found in their 2024 platform for the Democratic National Convention. In short: Simply expect more of the same. The familiarly odious platform will be voted on this week during the Democratic convention. ... At least five references in the platform identified Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s 2024 presidential candidate in the document. The lack of astute editing became the tell-all component of the forced switch from Biden to Harris. Harris was obviously inserted when...

    Perhaps the most exciting NCAA men’s basketball championship game ever played was also one of the biggest upsets. The 1983 North Carolina State University Wolfpack, despite being heavy underdogs to the University of Houston, managed to sink a last-second basket to win 54-52 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The iconic nature of NC State’s victory has played well to audiences in the 41 years since, and the NCAA has used images of the game and its players in publicizing its highly popular tournament. That a heavy underdog NC State team made this year’s basketball Final Four only added to the 1983...

    A new Wyoming pro-choice abortion group is raising some eyebrows for supporting three Republican state House candidates in Tuesday’s primary election. Wyoming United for Freedom is supporting the campaigns of House District 57 candidate Julie Jarvis in Casper, House District 50 candidate David Hill in Cody, and House District 43 candidate state Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, R-Cheyenne. The group has engaged personalized postcard writing for the candidates in response to a host of out-of-state mailers the candidates have been targeted with. Jarvis is taking on Rep. Jeanette Ward, R-Casper, and Hill is facing Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams, R-Cody, two vocal pro-life legislators...

    Mike Lynch, a British tech entrepreneur, and his daughter Hannah are missing after a luxury yacht sunk off the coast of the Italian island of Sicily. After co-founding British tech firm Autonomy in 1996, and backing several successful tech firms, the businessman was regarded by some as the UK's answer to Microsoft founder Bill Gates. One person is dead and six are missing after a 56m superyacht called Bayesian, which has been linked to Mr Lynch's family, sank following bad weather. His wife, Angela Bacares, has been rescued. The British tech tycoon made his riches by selling his company Autonomy...
