"These positions requiring no prior education or experience will pay a compensation package of lodging, transportation, clothing, a living allowance, and health benefits equivalent to $15 per hour."

If Conservatives Refuse To Go On Offense, They'll Lose
Until Republicans Use Power To Reward Their Friends And Punish Their Enemies, They’ll Always Lose - ADAM JOHNSTON"During an episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” James Carville, a Democrat and political strategist, expressed his opinion that Speaker Mike Johnson and other “Christian nationalists” are a bigger threat to America than al-Qaeda.
In a more recent rant posted on X, Carville urged young people to recognize the potential dire consequences of not voting for Biden in this year’s November election, at least as he sees it:
If Trump, and Roberts, and Alito, and Gorsuch, and Thomas, and Leonard Leo, and the Heritage Foundation — if they get a hold [of power], there will be no government left, there will be no rights left, you will live under theocracy, you’ll end up [with] Christian Nationalism. My advice to tell these young people is to get off your motherf**king a** and go vote because you should vote like your entire future, and the entire future of this United States depends on it because, quite frankly, it does, and that’s not an exaggeration...

Out Of Control Inflation: It Now Takes At Least $177,798 For A Family Of 4 To Live Comfortably In The U.S.
According to an incredibly shocking new study, most Americans do not make enough money to “live comfortably” in the highly inflationary environment that we find ourselves in today - MICHAEL SNYDER"I never imagined that we would ever see a time when it takes $177,798 for a family of four to live comfortably in the United States.
Unfortunately, that day has arrived.
Our leaders have been pursuing highly inflationary policies for many years, and now we have reached a point where inflation is wildly out of control.
In fact, the latest wholesale inflation figure that was released on Tuesday came in much higher than expected.

The Scandalous Science Behind Nuclear Regulation
A flawed scientific model continues to hinder the nuclear power industry and shape policy, holding us all back. - JAMES BROUGHEL
- Nuclear power could be a game-changer for energy affordability, grid reliability, and carbon reduction.
- However, it's been stifled for decades based on one deeply flawed scientific model: the linear no-threshold (LNT) model.
- The theory underlying this model suggests that any exposure to ionizing radiation, no matter how small, increases cancer risks and that risks rise in a linear way with exposure levels.
It's not true...

Maundering Through 'Climate Change' | The Pipeline
A lot more complicated than it looks. | The Pipeline - David Cavena
Continuing on that one aspect of warming, heat from the sun, or Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), surely has an impact on our temperature.
- The conceit of the climate cultists is that industrial man has altered – and is continuing to alter – the climate within a few hundred years so much that sea levels are rising, ice sheets are melting, and that we can – and must – alter it back within a decade, or so, or we’re all gonna die.
- The sheer audacity that humans can effect this level of change amazes. One day these same people tell us we are “insignificant” from the perspective of the universe. The next day they say we are destroying the planet via gas stoves and cow farts. “Fantastical” is a word not much used nowadays; it fits perfectly here.

While 32,000 Americans like Dressen participated in vaccine trials in the homeland and the Biden administration agreed to share up to 60 million doses with other nations, the AstraZeneca vaccine was never rolled out in the United States. It was, however, administered billions of times worldwide.
It quickly became clear that the vaccine was not as "safe and effective" as health authorities throughout the Anglosphere had guaranteed. After all, there were numerous reports of otherwise healthy recipients experiencing abnormal bleeding, low blood platelets, blood clots, and even dying.
Atticus Finch’s Critique of the Public Education System

But as Atticus Finch reminds us, life outside the courts does not operate according to this idealistic sense of equality...
In a portion that did make it into the move script, Atticus goes on to claim that America’s courts are “the great levelers,” and in them “all men are created equal.” This equality forever sought by America’s court system is symbolized by Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding scales.“One more thing, gentlemen, before I quit. Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase that the Yankees and the distaff side of the Executive branch in Washington are fond of hurling at us. There is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, for certain people to use this phrase of context, to satisfy all conditions. The most ridiculous example I can think of is that people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious—because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority. We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe—some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cake than others—some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.”

Wow!!-----The cloud thermostat is the dominant climate controlling mechanism - ClimateCite
IPCC’s (and NOAA’s) claims are a myth and therefore that trillions of dollars are being wasted on pointless mitigation measures
"Dr Clauser demonstrates, based on his recent groundbreaking research, that there are serious faults in the IPCC models of the Earth’s atmosphere and that its interpretation of observational data from a variety of observational modalities are flawed.
- He then introduces his original research on the cloud-thermostat mechanism, which he concludes is the overwhelmingly dominant climate controlling feedback mechanism that stabilizes the Earth’s climate and temperature and thereby actually prevents runaway global warming.
- He therefore asserts that this is great news demonstrating that there is no real climate crisis, and that Earth is not in peril;
- the clear corollary is that IPCC’s (and NOAA’s) claims are a myth and therefore that trillions of dollars are being wasted on pointless mitigation measures that should instead be put to constructive use.
Dr John F Clauser was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics for his experiments with quantum entanglement..

"I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear."
It was the attackers themselves who told the teacher that was why they "decided to beat her up."
