ransomnote: I'm concerned about potential abuse of Apple's ear bud technology, carefully designed with extensive built-in electrodes to obtain 'Mind Tapping' information from consumers. With voter ID gaining popularity, might Apple's 2023 patent point to the next gen 'alternative' to stealing elections?In a 2023 patent, Apple identified technology for a "Biosignal Sensing Device Using Dynamic Selection of Electrodes (Your earbudes can acquire information from your brain in a 'non-ivasive' manner.) Below I pulled together some information (Apple's patent, Grok, related articles) to try to determine if this patent was just the sensing portion of what actually became 'sensing-responding' technology (e.g.,...

Vice President JD Vance was reportedly the anonymous White House source behind a story that President Donald Trump’s administration is now pointing to as evidence for why Politico deserved to lose its White House access. The revelation, first reported Wednesday by Oliver Darcy’s Status, adds a striking wrinkle to the administration’s defense of its Friday decision to boot Politico from the White House grounds alongside CNN and MS NOW. The Washington Post reported just minutes earlier that the White House had identified six Politico stories in a Tuesday letter laying out its case against the outlet, accusing it of reporting...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in her jaw-dropping 2021 Met Gala gown — a floor-length, ivory white dress with the words “Tax the Rich” emblazoned on the back in a stunning shade of red — allegedly owes more than $1 million for a ritzy gala benefitting her nonprofit, court records show.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told a local television news station in Shreveport, Louisiana, this week that President Donald Trump needs to bring the war in Iran “to a resolution.” “It’s been a priority and an objective of every administration, for nearly 50 years, to ensure that Iran didn’t have a nuclear capability. Now that’s done. Operation Epic Fury was an epic success,” Johnson said dutifully, later adding: The world is safer because of it. But now we’ve got to bring that to a resolution. And the Strait of Hormuz not being open affects commerce. It directly affects gas prices...

They will not say this on a swing-state mailer. They will talk about groceries and “affordability” and holding crooks accountable. Fine. Read the platforms. Read what House Democrats have already promised for Day One if they take the gavel.Then read what the Democratic Socialists of America put in writing this summer and what their national co-chair confirmed on live television. And to those who think the Democratic Socialists are not the "mainstream" Democrat Party, I would encourage you to pay closer attention. The days of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are numbered, and will be effectively over if the Democrats...

A Nobel Prize-nominated journalist from Gaza who has hung out with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) multiple times has admitted to covering up footage of Israeli hostages being attacked on October 7, 2023. Photojournalist Motaz Azaiza admitted to hiding the dreadful images during a podcast interview, the New York Post reported on Monday. Azaiza said he covered it up to protect the people who were seen attacking the hostages once they were pulled into Gaza, because he feared the Israeli military would use the video to seek payback against the torturers. He also claimed Hamas controls all the...

Maybe he has a different definition of “obsessed”? It’s flimsy, but it seems like the best explanation, after Tucker Carlson rejected claims he’s “obsessed with the Jews” and Israel on the Monday episode of his podcast. But the episode seemed to instantly disprove Carlson, because the Jews and Israel came up a whole lot. How many times? 281 times, to be exact. That included 215 mentions of “Israel” and 66 mentions of “Jew” or “Jewish.” There was a lone reference to Judaism too, for good measure. The lion’s share of those mentions came from The Grayzone reporter Max Blumenthal, his...
