Gov. Cuomo trying to cut a deal to avoid impeachment: report - TheBlaze:

He has defied calls from leaders in his own party, including President Joe Biden himself, to get out of the Executive Mansion before things get worse, as he continues to deny the attorney general's allegations.

Even more alarming are the mass of migrants being released from U.S. custody without notices to appear in court and those being released who are infected with COVID-19. Reports indicate that more than 50,000 migrants have been released without a court date; and although they are told to report to an immigration office, just 13% have done so. Meanwhile, nearly 20% of migrant families who were released from Border Patrol custody tested positive for COVID-19 over recent weeks, NBC reported.

WAKE UP NOT WOKE UP AMERICA! (from the web)

 WAKE UP NOT WOKE UP AMERICA!

WISDOM OF BEN STEIN (Not verified Stein wrote this but every word of this is very true)
I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.
But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
You can't justify this insanity:
• If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it's un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it's an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you'd better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for "free" health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore - no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it's racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is AOK!
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. Speak up!

The "perception"????? The reality!-----GM offers apology and scrambles to find a fix for Bolt fire risk

GM offers apology and scrambles to find a fix for Bolt fire risk
  • "The perception is bad..."
"...The existing software fix GM performed on the Bolts during the first recall has been largely successful, Flores said, but "not fully effective" to eliminate fire risk...
..."We don’t have the specific fix determined yet, but if you do A, B and C, we believe you’re effectively reducing the risk of a fire."
...“You can only charge it up to 90% and not go below 70 miles, which limits my mileage,” she said.
...If equity analysts and investors look at this as a signal that, for all of the announcements GM has made, they can’t produce a reliable EV and they can’t figure out how to fix it, that is not good for your stock price," Gordon said.
The Bolt recall has already cost GM $800 million, the automaker said Wednesday in its second quarter earnings report...Much here, read all!!!!

Judge orders Biden administration to respond to lawsuit against CDC's new eviction ban by Friday - TheBlaze

Judge orders Biden administration to respond to lawsuit against CDC's new eviction ban by Friday - TheBlaze

The White House has defended the new moratorium, which appears to be in direct violation of the law and the Supreme Court's opinion, as a "new, targeted eviction moratorium — focused on counties with High or Substantial (coronavirus) case rates."

The new eviction moratorium is set to expire on Oct. 3 and is estimated to apply to 82% of U.S. counties and more than 90% of the population.

Facing questions from reporters on the legality of the CDC's new order, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the Biden administration doesn't believe most Americans care whether the order is legal or not.

Truth!


How they "think". If we oppose the new "Infrastructure" scam, the lib-loons accuse us of being opposed to fixing potholes.


 

Election Observers Alarmed Over Newsom Recall: All California Voters Can Download Ballots in the 'Comfort of Their Own Home'

Election Observers Alarmed Over Newsom Recall: All California Voters Can Download Ballots in the 'Comfort of Their Own Home'

"...California Secretary of State Shirley Weber as a way for voters to download ballots in the “comfort of their own home.”

“For the November 3, 2020 General Election, any voter can request to use Remote Accessible Vote by Mail,” the Secretary of State’s website states...

51% of likely voters in California’s upcoming gubernatorial recall election today would vote Yes to recall incumbent California Governor Gavin Newsom, according to SurveyUSA’s latest exclusive polling for KABC-TV in Los Angeles and KGTV 10News and The San Diego Tribune.

40% would vote No, to keep Newsom in office.

RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell notes that’s a “pretty huge leap” from an earlier Emerson College Poll.

Republicans support recall by an 8:1 margin; Democrats oppose by a smaller 3:1 margin. Independents support recalling the Governor by 5:3.

And the "women's" groups are silent.

University of Wisconsin-Madison removes massive rock from campus after 'racism' claims | Fox News
"The University of Wisconsin removed a controversial boulder from its Madison campus Friday after the Black Student Union and other activists objected to its description nearly 100 years ago with a racial slur.
Chamberlin Rock, which rests atop Observatory Hill, is named after a 19th Century geologist and former university president, Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, whose work centered on glacial deposits, according to a bio on the university’s website.
But it was a reporter’s reference to the rock in a nearly century-old Wisconsin State Journal article that prompted the push for its removal.

The University of Wisconsin is removing the 70-ton boulder from its Madison campus at the request of minority students who view the rock as a symbol of racism.

In October 1925, the university had the boulder excavated and placed prominently atop the hill to honor Chamberlin, who would die in Chicago three years later. 
The rock was a rare specimen believed to be more than 2 billion years old, and before it was installed on Observatory Hill, only about a foot and a half was visible above ground...Read all.

'We're ALL being gaslit': Ben Shapiro on why THIS stat should scare both conservatives AND liberals - TheBlaze

The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro joined BlazeTV host Dave Rubin on "The Rubin Report" to talk about how the mainstream media manipulates statistics to make COVID-19 infection rates appear far worse than they actually are, why he doesn't fear authoritarianism from the government, but from cultural institutions that no longer encourage critical thinking and encourage silencing dissent instead, and to share frightening poll results that show how most people, except the far-left, are afraid to voice their politics publicly.
