Yesterday, James Comey caused quite the stir when he went on Instagram and posted a picture of a shell formation on the beach — obviously one he made — that spelled out “86 47,” which many interpreted as a threat on President Trump’s life. Since then, everyone’s been arguing over the definition of “86.” As slang goes, it has a wide variety of uses, some of which are more innocent, such as when you run out of a menu item at a restaurant you “86” it or when you get kicked out of a bar for being too drunk or...

You might have been waiting for this moment your entire life, or perhaps you’re just looking for a reason to embrace 50 years of life. But, friends, 50 is when you officially hit the “Senior” stage and start reaping the benefits of an AARP membership. While we don’t quite agree with being called a “Senior” at such a young age, we can’t deny the incredible perks of being an AARP member. Right now, you can get a year-long membership for just $9 per year. After that, a second membership for anyone in your household will be free. What comes with...

Midas is running a racist ad called "No More BS". See the image here. If you've seen enough recent TV ads, you should know which group is which. If you want to *do* something about this, take out a few minutes and call or email your local Midas shop. Let them know that you saw their ad and you won't be doing business with them anymore. Obviously, local outlets don't have any control over the ads Midas HQ runs, but enough of them will communicate back to Midas HQ that they might get the message.

Your long-held suspicions are confirmed, according to a report: Your phone really is listening to you. A marketing firm whose clients include Facebook and Google has privately admitted that it listens to users’ smartphone microphones and then places ads based on the information that is picked up, according to 404 Media. Cox Media Group, the television and radio news conglomerate, admitted in a pitch deck to investors that its “Active Listening” software uses artificial intelligence to “capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations,” according to the report. “Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market...

A new Kamala Harris ad features men who are supposedly “man enough” to vote for her. Because, of course, every man who doesn’t vote for Harris hates women! Duh. It has absolutely nothing to do with her incompetence, attitude, and not telling us how she’ll be different from Biden. They all declare they’re “a man” before telling us why. Here are a few snippets. I’m laughing so hard. Like snort laughing. “I’m man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon.” “I’m man enough to deadlift 500 then braid my daughter’s hair.” “You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I...

BlackRock Inc., the world’s largest money manager, has pulled an ad that briefly featured Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who shot and wounded former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The company said Crooks was a student at Bethel Park High School and appeared in the 2022 ad with other unpaid teens. “In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks,” the company said in a statement to Reuters Sunday, adding that the ad has been pulled.

Israel destroyed a pizzeria in the West Bank town of Huwara after it used an image of an elderly woman who was held captive by Hamas in an advert, The Telegraph reported. The advert seemed to mock the woman, who appears next to an image of a pizza with accompanying text detailing an offer for a family-sized pizza, The Messenger reported. The woman, an elderly Holocaust survivor, was one of up to 150 hostages taken by Hamas following its surprise wave of attacks on October 7. In a video following her capture, the woman can be seen with a machine...

Big pharma spends more money on advertising for drugs that have lower health benefits for patients, according to a study published in JAMA on Tuesday, shedding new light on the almost uniquely American practice amid fierce debate over whether direct-to-consumer prescription drug ads should be banned.

A staffer for presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is being accused of retweeting a video showing the Florida governor surrounded by a Nazi symbol. The video, which was originally shared and later deleted by a DeSantis fan account, shows troops marching towards the conservative politician as Florida’s flag and a sunwheel are visible in the background. “The @desantiscams account just deleted this video after at least one campaign staffer RT’d it,” podcast host Luke Thompson wrote after sharing a copy of the video. “I wonder if this was also made in-house.” Thompson’s remark also points to an incident several...

Dr. Peter McCullough was one of the most outspoken and bravest leaders during the pandemic – today he is continuing his work to keep Americans healthy and safe in this new post-pandemic era of spike protein. Dr. McCullough wasn’t afraid to stand up to big pharma, big tech and big government during the pandemic, and he is showing that same courage today. “This spike protein is a killer, and it rips through the hearts of men and women,” said Dr. McCullough in a new video where he calls the response of the FDA and the CDC to the dangers of...

Westerners need to get back to basics. It's cheaper. A beautiful woman having fun playing catch with a dog. (Click red link below title above.) Absorbing wisdom of great Americans like Harriett Tubman, who passed away 110 years ago today, March 10. (“If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there’s shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”) The West does NOT need a president like Biden who coul take U.S. national debt to $51 trillion by 2033:...

Axios.com reported Monday that photos exist of ripped-up notes allegedly found in a White House toilet that staff believed were disposed of by then-President Donald Trump.The photos, if authenticated, would help to corroborate earlier claims that Trump disposed of White House documents in unconventional ways, raising questions about whether he violated federal laws on the preservation of government documents.SCOOP: Maggie Haberman’s new book about former President Trump will report that White House staff periodically found wads of paper clogging a toilet — and believed the former president was the flusher.Well, it turns out there are photos. https://t.co/GJyxxtOjH9— Axios (@axios) August...

ELBERTON, Ga. -- Driving north from Atlanta on I-85 toward South Carolina, you exit east at Georgia Highway 51, then exit again at Highway 17, which takes you straight to the city of Elberton. Once in Elberton, population 5,000, you take Highway 77 north for almost nine miles. Eyes scanning the horizon, you finally see it perched on a high knoll, with an easy-to-miss turnoff onto a small road that leads practically up to its foot. It stands alone in all its mighty glory, and on any given day you’ll likely be the only visitor. Four rectangular slabs of granite...

Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For a financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places they cut into the action of films, lectures and concerts, tearing apart...

Comment And Analysis On Australia, New Zealand Political Developments The federal government in Australia, the Liberal-National coalition of Liberal Party Prime Minister Scott Morrison and National Party Deputy Prime Minster Barnaby Joyce, was clearly complicit in the coercion to vaccinate Australians. Mr. Morrison, along with other prominent Liberals including Treasurer Senator Josh Frydenberg, spread the "gospel" of "vaccination will make you free". In recent weeks though Morrison, considered a "Conservative" and "Christian" linked to the mega-church Hillsong based in Sydney, is changing his narrative criticizing restrictive proposals like the one being advanced by Victoria Labor Party Premier Dan Andrews to...

self-branded conservative wine company released perhaps one of the most patriotic advertisements ever made Wednesday. It juxtaposed a speech from former President Ronald Reagan against the social strife the U.S. has experienced in recent months. We The People Wine released the ad, saying it’s time to “fight for our freedom." “Our nation and our freedom is under attack from fellow Americans,” the company tweeted. “THEY claim America was ‘never great.’ THEY demand we fall in line and stay silent. WE the People beg to differ … and we’re here to celebrate, defend, and fight for our freedom with ‘We the...

It's Bastille Day. Peter Thiel (PayPal, Facebook, Palantir, Airbnb, Lyft, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX), notes that Google, which builds what is called "dopaminergic" (pleasure-rewarding) addiction into its user experience, has thrown in its Artificial Intelligence cognitive-weaponry development, with Red China, against Red-White-&-Blue USA. Google is a traitor. Google has merely rendered the high development of mass opinion engineering into computer algorithms that operate seamlessly behind the scenes. For the past century, cognitive psychologists have figured out how to control extremely massive numbers of people using sophisticated mass psychology manipulation techniques. Edward Bernays was like George Soros (touring the death camps...
