It's not hard to figure out what is keeping USA Today "domestic security correspondent: Josh Meyer awake at night. The gnawing fear that a lack of censorship could lead to disinformation being spread during the 2024 election. This is reflected in his sprawling 2,618-word USA Today article on Wednesday, "Amid Elon Musk's Twitter changes, why 2024 presidential election threats now pose bigger risk."Their shortened version of the headline: "The 2024 election on Twitter: Are Elon Musk's changes posing a danger?" What is the danger? "Misinformation," according to nebulous unnamed "lawmakers and regulators, former Twitter executives, national security officials and other...

VIDEOIn this video I show you why I consider Picanha to be the KING of all BBQ steaks. You might have eaten Picanha at Brazilian Steakhouses but as you can see, you can also prepare it at home with AMAZING results. One important detail is that when you sear your steaks, be sure to keep the meat only over the charcoal with the fat caps over the side with no charcoal below. This is because you want to prevent flareups from the burning the steak. As far as the fat caps, I sear them after both sides of the steaks...

This week in France's National Assembly National Rally (RN) lawmaker Julien Odoul introducing legislation to require athletes to compete using the sex registered on their birth certificate.

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden's lawyer Kevin Morris is seen smoking a BONG on the balcony of his LA home while clearly visible from the road during a visit from the president's son 3:17 PM · Jul 21, 2023

Hi I am on the road a lot today its summer and much of the post today "canned" ahead of time. I always had this vision in my head back 20 or more years ago of Rush Limbaugh playing oldies on the radio every weekend an extra show to help promote the weekday shows and soften the image that was being dumped on El Rushbo by his enemies. Well lets go to the music Janis Joplin lost too early to drugs I remember when she died it was on the news and she looked weird to me back then... Still...

What is happening with “mass casualty events” at concerts?This has now happened several times since COVID-19 vaccines have rolled out.Simultaneous cardiac arrests. Dozens hospitalized or dead.

VIDEOChristopher Wray's testimony before Congress on July 12, 2023 went so horribly wrong that the FBI PR department desperately posted several damage control tweets in a laughably failed effort to counter what happened. Unfortunately the ratio on those tweets just made things even worse as you can see. In this example, I take a look at the ratio on the FBI's damage control tweet about investigating parents who spoke out at school board meetings.

On this date, July 13, in 2010, George Steinbrenner died, and, much earlier, in 1865, publisher and Whig politician, Horace Greeley, is said to have advised his readers: “Washington [D.C.] is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.” (Has anything changed?) Steinbrenner was born in Ohio and died in Florida, but is most famous for owning the New York Yankees for 37 colorful years. His brash leadership is said to have been...

Gee! Isn't that a shame?Despite the fact that the White House is probably the most intensely video-surveilled building on the planet, an official with the investigation wants us to believe that the public shouldn't expect the discovery of the culprit who left cocaine there just this past weekend. At least that is what the utterly skepticism-free Politico reporter Daniel Lippman is relaying to his readers on Wednesday in "White House cocaine culprit unlikely to be found: Law enforcement official."

July 4th, America's Independence Day, is also film and television star Eva Gabor's birthday and the date of the first publication of Leaves Of Grass in 1855. That seminal work was a part of the cultural birth of the USA: ""What is known I strip away, I launch all men and women forward with me into the Unknown. .............. Births have brought us richness and variety, And other births will bring us richness and variety." " ....... after the child is born of woman, man is born of woman, This the bath of birth, this the merge of small and...

VIDEOMy wife loves the images of fat rich piggies on slot machines so, naturally, on July 3 she played the machines with that porcine image. Our strategy, as always, was to put $20 into the slots and to cash out whenever the winnings go over about $30. That way the most we can lose for the evening would be limited to the initial $20 in the machine. After cashing out we place another $20 in the machine and if we lose that then we are done for the day. However, if we win again we repeat the process of cashing...

Okay, we are coming up to July 4, a big day for picnics, especially on the BBQ. So what food are you preparing for July 4?I'll start off by stating that I am preparing a big TRIFECTA of food. Smoked turkey, chili cheese fries, and, most importantly, PICANHA steak.The smoked turkey is now being dry brined with kosher salt, brown sugar, pepper, and thyme. Tomorrow I will smoke it on my Weber for a total of about 2 1/2 hours. So why smoke it the day BEFORE July 4? Well, because I need the Weber for something else that day...

VIDEOIs YouTube telling creators who filed video appeals to have their channels remonetized that they have "carefully reviewed" their appeal videos when in fact NO ONE actually looked at them? In my case, I have evidence that they DID NOT look at my video appeal. Not surprising since I sent the appeal video to them yesterday (June 26) AFTERNOON and by 2:08 AM PDT on June 27 they somehow managed to not only "see" my video but also reviewed and passed judgement upon it. "See" in quotes because they did NOT see the video.As a fringe benefit for seeing the...

VIDEOThe FBI is offering a $500,000 reward to identify the J6 pipe bomber and the DUmmie FUnnies wants to collect that reward money. Perhaps the reward money will be used to invest in cell phone technology that can't can't be conveniently "corrupted" while performing an investigation via Geofencing. Would also use that reward money to purchase a kitchen timer that lasts more than an hour.

On Monday the latest motion of censure against the government of President Emmanuel Macron failed in the National Assembly. 239 of the 577 members supporting it members from the Left and the National Rally along with the deputies from France's overseas territories. The government-aligned parties do not have a majority in the Assembly either but with the support of the Mainstream "Right" Les Republicains they found a majority to turn back the censure motion. LR leader Eric Ciotti has been making noise on immigration and was given an audience this week with President Macron... More fuel poured on the fire...

On Friday, MSNBC acted "concerned" over the news that Aileen Cannon was chosen as the judge to oversee the Trump documents case. However, the MSNBC reaction was mild compared to the sheer panic over Cannon in an article published by Slate magazine that same day. Mark Joseph Stern, Slate's senior writer on legal matters sounds like he will spend many sleepless nights over his extreme fear that "Judge Aileen Cannon Can Absolutely Sink the Federal Prosecution of Trump."
