The Lincoln Project, the same disgraced organization that shielded a credibly accused child predator for months, is now looking to target your children through something called The Franklin Project.
The far-left Axios reports the news and does so in that hilarious way only the corporate media can: by pretending it has a “scoop” when it’s basically rewriting a press release sent to them first. This is stenography, not journalism. Here’s a taste [emphasis original]:
"The story of the Bell-X2 Starbuster is one of equal success and tragedy.
Pilots made history aboard this experimental aircraft, reaching altitudes and speeds that had never been recorded before.
However, these accomplishments came at a great price.
The Starbuster was part of the X-series, experimental aircraft meant to aid in researching flight characteristics after reaching Mach 2 and 3 speed.
Because of its cutting-edge and boundary-pushing performance, it was one of the most difficult planes to fly at the time. Once the X-2 rockets kicked in and sent the aircraft racing through the sky, its supersonic shock wave could be seen from the ground.
Only the most exceptional pilots got to reach unprecedented speeds with the Starbuster. Captain Mel Apt was one of the best known of such pilots.
This father of two was recognized as a hero after extracting a colleague from a burning plane. An experienced and courageous pilot, he made history in 1956 after reaching a Mach 3 speed on the X-2.
Minutes after achieving this record, however, he was lost in a tragic accident.
Apt's life helped widen the knowledge of aeronautical technology. Still, his story is a harsh reminder that historical achievements, at times, require a great sacrifice."
A Spanish MP was suspended by Twitter for 12 hours, after he responded to a news article and noted that men do not have the biological ability to become pregnant.
"Francisco José Contreras, an MP for the populist right wing party Vox, posted a news article to Twitter about a Spanish female-to-male transgender individual who was pregnant and recently gave birth to a daughter, with the article in question claiming that this made this individual a father.
Contreras in his tweet said that this was a total lie.
“A man cannot get pregnant,” he tweeted. “A man does not have a uterus or ovaries.”
However, not long after he tweeted his statement, Contrera received an email from Twitter, claiming that he had violated their rules on “hate speech,” informing him that they do not allow material that “threatens, harasses or promotes violence” against anybody based on a number of personal characteristics, including gender identity, among others.
"On February 3, 2021, in the wake of the “deadly events” of 1/6, Biden’s new Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a 60-day stand-down and total purge of the U.S. military’s rampant, undefined “extremism” problem.
...This hatchet man’s name is Bishop Garrison, Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense for Diversity and Inclusion:
Bishop Garrison says that being a Trump supporter makes you a racist, misogynist, extremist.
This isn’t just some random case of Trump Derangement Syndrome on Twitter.
As the new head of the U.S. military’s “Countering Extremism” task force, this critical race theory loving, Trump Derangement Syndrome suffering, fake news spreading, 100% partisan hack is the man who will now separate permissible “opinion” from purgeable “extremism” at the Pentagon, which is the nation’s largest employer, overseeing 2.9 million personnel.
From the memo:
The [CEWG’s] immediate actions are as follows:
Review and Update of DODI 1325.06 Extremism Definition: Office of the Secretary of Defense (Personnel & Readiness) and the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) will review and update DODI 1325.06 to more specifically define what constitutes extremist behavior...Much here, read all!
A series of critical problems plagued the Biden campaign in recent days, reminding many Americans of the hardships during the late 1970s under President Jimmy Carter.
Significant issues include the threat of inflation, lower-than-expected job growth, tensions in the Middle East, and gas shortages following a cyberattack against a pivotal energy pipeline in the southeast.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Thanks to widespread and persistent shoplifting, 17 Walgreens Pharmacy locations have shuttered in San Francisco during the past five years.
...San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safaí told the San Francisco Chronicle that the situation is “out of control,” adding:
“People are scared to go into these stores — seniors, people with disabilities, children. It’s just happening brazenly.”
Longtime Walgreens customer Sebastian Luke told the Chronicle regarding closures:
“All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters.”
Luke also suggested that the employees at Walgreens are helpless to do anything in the face of the thefts, saying: “I feel sorry for the clerks, they are regularly being verbally assaulted.”...Read all.
President Joe Biden issued a statement declaring that Israel had a right to defend itself from rocket attacks and many on the left immediately recoiled in horror, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Israel has been bombarded by dozens of rocket missile attacks for several days while violence from supporters of the Palestinian cause has erupted against Jews in several Israeli cities.
On Wednesday, Biden defended Israel after speaking via telephone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Survey data from a March Pew poll indicates that white liberals disproportionately suffer from mental illness.
Nearly half of self-identifying white liberals between the ages of 18 and 29 reported telling a doctor or a healthcare provider that they have a mental health condition.
Only 20.9% of white conservatives in the same category reported as such...Read all.
Why Speaking English May Spread More Coronavirus Than Some Other Languages
"New research suggests that English speakers put more droplets into the air when they talk, which may make them more likely to spread COVID-19. Since the novel coronavirus is spread by droplets, how spitty a language is might contribute to different rates of the disease.
It all comes down to something called aspirated consonants, the sounds we make that spray more droplets of saliva into the air...Read all.
Facebook refused to remove its “Partly False” label on the article, but at least we got an inside look at the tactics that social media companies and progressive groups use to distort science and public policy.
They exploit Facebook’s News Feed algorithm to reduce the visibility of conservatives at the Wall Street Journal, libertarians like John Stossel, and others who challenge progressive orthodoxy.
These “fact-checkers” are actually fact-blockers.--Posted byJohn Tierney"
Parents of children who attend Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia have launched a new ad campaign to fight the teaching of critical race theory in their schools and oust the school board.
Biden has fully embraced the mad goal of giving 98% of the population lavish benefits at no cost.
"Has anyone noticed that the president has proposed increasing federal spending by nearly $1 trillion a year, while promising that 98% of Americans will pay nothing for it?
The very idea would have seemed mad to every previous generation of Americans.
Today it is considered conventional.
...Much of the spending is designed to exploit the pandemic crisis by transforming emergency income support into permanent middle-class entitlements for toddler care, higher education, medical services and much else.
...But set aside these problems and take the Biden plans as advertised, as a tremendous expansion of government paid for by a select few taxpayers plus lots of new borrowing.
This is the apotheosis of a political transformation that began insensibly in the 1970s and has triumphed with barely a quiver of recognition, much less debate.
It may be called the borrowed-benefits syndrome...Read all.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the latest left-wing figure to not believe the science and defy the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last Thursday, the CDC announced that life could return to normal, where face masks are not necessary, for fully vaccinated Americans outdoors and in most indoor situations. However, Ocasio-Cortez won't be taking the advice from CDC health officials.

The Biden administration pulled over $2 billion that was meant for COVID-19 health resources such as coronavirus testing and emergency medical supplies, and diverted the American taxpayer money to the current border crisis. President Joe Biden's Department of Health and Human Services sunk the funds into housing for the over 47,000 unaccompanied minors who have flooded across the U.S. southern border this year.
