JERSEY CITY SHOOTER WAS ONE-TIME BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITE

JERSEY CITY SHOOTER WAS ONE-TIME BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITE:

"If the name Black Hebrew Israelites sounds familiar, that’s because members of that group were the ones who screamed bigotry at Nick Sandmann and the rest of the Covington Catholic kids at the Lincoln Memorial back in January…

As Sandmann noted a few days later:

“They called us ‘racists,’ ‘bigots,’ ‘white crackers,’ ‘f*gg*ts’ and ‘incest kids.’ ...The Black Hebrew Israelites who started the whole thing were almost entirely ignored. They didn’t fit the narrative.

I suspect that’s what will happen with this shooting, too.

As Ace writes, “Enjoy the last few moments you’ll ever hear of this story… they’re black, not white, and affiliated with leftwing politics, not Trump, so we won’t hear about this any more, and the only thing we will hear about is not hate, but GUNS. 

Ben Shapiro made that point last week — whenever the killer is someone associated with part of the Democrat coalition, or expresses leftwing sentiments online, suddenly the media doesn’t want to talk about hatred or political rhetoric inspiring violence, but only Deadly Demon-Guns.”...

CBS News’ Major Garrett blows major holes in Dems' impeachment push - TheBlaze

CBS News’ Major Garrett blows major holes in Dems' impeachment push - TheBlaze:

Fast-forward to Tuesday morning. The Democrats released two articles of impeachment that don't touch upon any of the fantastical claims of "bribery" and "treason" the Democrats have been pushing. Garret called them out on it.
He said, "Well, they clearly don't believe they have the evidence to make that case stick. Bribery, extortion, those were words that had great power and force about a week ago, maybe two weeks ago. Absent from this docket, if you will, of impeachment articles."
It's sad that when someone in the media actually looks at this with a critical eye, it's such an outlier that it's worth highlighting. But that is the current state of our media.

IG Shuts Down James Comey: No One Is 'Vindicated' by My Report

IG Shuts Down James Comey: No One Is 'Vindicated' by My Report:

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Wednesday shot down former FBI Director James Comey’s claim that the FISA abuse report vindicates him against allegations of wrongdoing during the bureau’s investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign.
“I think the activities we found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this FISA,” Horowitz testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, answering a question on whether Comey was “vindicated” by the report.

America's Missile That Uses Sword Blades Instead Of Explosives Has Struck Again In Syria - The Drive

America's Missile That Uses Sword Blades Instead Of Explosives Has Struck Again In Syria - The Drive:

• For the second time this week, the secretive AGM-114R9X Hellfire missile has punched a hole through a car's roof and sliced its target to death.

"It appears that the AGM-114R9X, a secret low collateral damage derivative of the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, has been employed against occupants of another vehicle in northwestern Syria. 
This is the second time this week. 
Previously, we knew of only one other instance in which the unique missile had been used, back in 2017 when an Al Qaeda kingpin was similarly targeted and killed in western Syria. 
The War Zone was the first to posit that an exotic new low-collateral damage weapon was being used after images from that strike surfaced. 

THIS PHOTO PROVES HOW THE HELLFIRE MISSILE THAT USES BLADES INSTEAD OF EXPLOSIVES WORKS

...Supposedly, three people were killed in the vehicle when the bladed weapon smashed through the roof of the vehicle. 
The post-strike video below is very gruesome. 
You have been warned..."

Brain Volume, Cognition Worse After Antarctic Expedition | MedPage Today:

• Isolation, harsh environment linked to hippocampal changes in healthy young adults

"Fourteen months on an Antarctic research expedition -- with almost complete darkness during winter, temperatures as low as -58 °F, and extremely limited social interactions -- led to brain changes in healthy young adults, a small prospective study showed.
Before-and-after MRI scans showed that expeditioners at the polar research station Neumayer-Station III experienced reductions in hippocampal volume of the dentate gyrus, lower brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, and lower performance in spatial processing and selective attention tests..."

100 Percent Wind Solar Batteries= $1,036.80 Monthly Electric Bill, According to An Xcel Energy Slide Show and EIA Data - American Experiment

100 Percent Wind Solar Batteries= $1,036.80 Monthly Electric Bill, According to An Xcel Energy Slide Show and EIA Data - American Experiment
"This slide shows the enormous cost of using 100 percent renewable energy with battery backup in California. You’ll notice that the cost of electricity increases exponentially as renewable and battery storage penetration increases to $1,612 per megawatt hour ((MWh) compared to an average system cost of $50 per MWh today.

What would this mean for families in Minnesota, if we assume that achieving a grid powered by 100 percent wind, solar, and batteries...

If we just use the wholesale cost of $1.60 per kilowatt hour and ignore the factors in the retail costs, electricity prices would be 11 times higher than the current price of electricity for residential customers Xcel Energy’s service territory. This means the average Minnesota household with Xcel as their energy provider using 648 kilowatt hours per month would see their average monthly bill increase from about $91.30 to $1,036.80, or more than $12,000 per year..."

CNN Skips Live Coverage of Hearing on FBI Misconduct

CNN Skips Live Coverage of Hearing on FBI Misconduct:

CNN opted against airing Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the FBI’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses during its investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign.
The move was highlighted by Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary for President George W. Bush, in a tweet: “CNN is not taking the Senate Horowitz hearing live. Unbelievable. A perfect example of how bias works. It’s not just what they cover. It’s what they don’t cover.”

Tidalgate: Climate Alarmists Caught Faking Sea Level Rise

Tidalgate: Climate Alarmists Caught Faking Sea Level Rise
"Alarmist scientists have been caught red-handed tampering with raw data in order to exaggerate sea level rise.

The raw (unadjusted) data from three Indian Ocean gauges – Aden, Karachi and Mumbai – showed that local sea level trends in the last 140 years had been very gently rising, neutral or negative (ie sea levels had fallen).

But after the evidence had been adjusted by tidal records gatekeepers at the global databank Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) it suddenly showed a sharp and dramatic rise...

..Here is a before/after from Karachi:

The authors do not mince their words. They refer to these adjustments as “highly questionable” and “suspicious.”...
