Biden inflation cost American families higher food prices - TheBlaze:

Inflation in the United States hit a 30-year high in August, according to the Department of Commerce. Higher costs of goods is one of several reasons why President Joe Biden has seen his approval rating plummet to the lowest of his presidency — despite the White House blaming alarmingly low poll numbers on unvaccinated Americans.

Now, one of Biden's favorite financial outlets revealed the real cost of inflation to average American families.

The 2020 Election Wasn’t Stolen, It Was Bought By Mark Zuckerberg.

Instapundit-The 2020 Election Wasn’t Stolen, It Was Bought By Mark Zuckerberg.

WILLIAM DOYLE

During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending. He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally non-partisan — but demonstrably ideological — non-profit organizations.
Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden’s vote margin in key swing states. This unprecedented merger of public election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic, and should be the focus of electoral reform efforts moving forward.
The 2020 election wasn’t stolen — it was likely bought by one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.

Last week’s Facebook “whistleblower” testimony was an act designed to engineer a Facebook-friendly social media regulatory scheme to lock in Facebook’s dominance.

Michigan SOS must release documents on deal with pro-Whitmer group, court says

Michigan SOS must release documents on deal with pro-Whitmer group, court says: "The court's ruling is a positive step to help tear the curtain back on the secret deal between Benson and Whitmer," said Tori Sachs, the former executive director of Michigan Rising Action. "Michiganders deserve the truth." Among the documents that will have to be produced are communications between the law firm that represented Build a Better Michigan and Secretary of State personnel. The Secretary of State's office had argued that those messages fell within a disclosure exemption that protects "frank communication" between officials within public agencies. The communications don't fit the exemption because they weren't between or within public bodies, Murray wrote.

Mollie Hemingway: It Is Amazing What The Priorities Of Biden's FBI And DOJ Are Today | Video | RealClearPolitics

"The Federalist" senior editor Mollie Hemingway commented on the Department of Justice memo warning of threats of violence at school board meetings, Tuesday on FNC's "Special Report" panel:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: It is just amazing what the Department of Justice and FBI will do and what they won't do.
Last year, we had a series of violent riots that caused $2 billion worth of damage and killed dozens of people. ...how little they did with the gymnastics coach [Larry Nasser], who had credible reports of him raping people and the FBI was nowhere to be found.
Yet, here, when parents very reasonably are concerned about all sorts of things happening in their school..."

Report: Special Counsel John Durham investigating Pentagon cybersecurity contractors in Russiagate origins probe - TheBlaze

Report: Special Counsel John Durham investigating Pentagon cybersecurity contractors in Russiagate origins probe - TheBlaze:

According to a report from RealClearInvestigations, Special Counsel John Durham has shifted the focus of his investigation into the origins of the Russiagate conspiracy to Pentagon cybersecurity contractors who may have misused their government security clearances to provide Democratic operatives with damaging (albeit false) information about former president Donald Trump. Last month, Durham indicted former Hillary Clinton attorney Michael Sussman for allegedly giving false information to the FBI during a meeting in which he tried to connect the former president to the Kremlin-connected Alfa Bank. Now, according to RCI, Durham is investigating whether certain cybersecurity experts who held "lucrative government contracts" misused their security clearances to unearth information on Trump in order to pass it on to Sussman.

HS Sent Into Lockdown Over Student Not Wearing a Mask - Louder With Crowder

TEENAGER ARRESTED, HIGH SCHOOL SENT INTO LOCKDOWN ALL OVER A STUDENT NOT WEARING A MASK

"...According to KPVI-TV, this was Grace's third offense.

She was suspended twice before over not complying with the mask mandate.

Smith says she's taking a stance because she's "growing up in a country where I'm supposed to have my God-given rights to protect, and they're being taken away.
...Smith showed up for school this week and was given a citation for trespassing.

When she refused to leave, two police officers I would hope were embarrassed with themselves put Grace in handcuffs.

She was taken down to the police station.

This is also where the school went into lockdown...Read all.

Why don’t liberals know what conservatives believe?

Why don’t liberals know what conservatives believe?
"...Unfortunately, today’s liberals are so cocooned in their own media and higher education bubbles that they have no idea what their conservative compatriots even believe.

Take two recent tweets by prominent liberal writers, the first by Princeton-educated Julia Ioffe, who has done work for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and many other liberal outlets. Last week, Ioffe tweeted, “If you are anti-choice and you want to make sure women carry every pregnancy to term, why not make the person who created the pregnancy contribute? Why not have men pay child support to the women they impregnate? Surely, it is not the woman’s responsibility alone?”...
Moving to the second tweet, University of North Carolina-educated Nikole Hannah-Jones of 1619 Project fame wrote last week, “Why do ‘school choice’ advocates never advocate eliminating school district boundaries/funding schools by local property tax and allowing poor, Black students to attend white, wealthy schools in neighboring municipalities? They don’t really want choice, just privatization.”...

...It seems that the longer liberals stay walled off in communities dominated by their own kind, which is exactly what higher education has become, the worse they are at understanding and empathizing with those who hold other views...Read all.

"...wind and sun only work part time, indeed well less than half of the time at best..."

https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2021-10-8-having-fun-watching-wind-and-solar-failing-to-step-up-to-power-the-world-economy
"You don’t have to be any kind of a genius to figure out that wind and solar generation are never going to supplant fossil fuels in powering the world economy.

The main reason is that the wind and sun only work part time, indeed well less than half of the time at best.

With wind, you never know when it might work, and over a year a given facility might on average produce about 30-35% of rated capacity, with long and random periods of nothing.
With the sun, you know from the get-go that you will get nothing fully half the time (i.e., night); and cloudy days wipe out half and more of the remaining half, again at random times. Averaged over the year, you’ll be lucky to get 20% of rated capacity from a solar facility.

...Now there is a surge in demand for manufactured goods of every sort.

That will take some energy.

Let’s see what the wind and the sun can do!
The answer is that when they are needed they are useless...Read all.

Victoria Police officer Krystle Mitchell quits over Australia's covid orders - TheBlaze

Victoria Police officer Krystle Mitchell quits over Australia's covid orders - TheBlaze:

A senior police officer in Australia is being investigated after she sensationally resigned from the Victoria Police force during a live interview. The cop, who said her law enforcement employment was "the best job" she ever had, revealed that a "vast majority" of her former officers don't believe in and don't want to enforce the strict COVID-19 orders enacted in Australia. Former Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell made a splash by publicly resigning during a revealing interview on Friday. On her way out, Mitchell said government orders to enforce COVID-19 orders troubled her "greatly" after seeing "the damage it is causing the community."
