The dreams of Elon Musk buying Twitter and firing all the leftist twats with a paintball gun ala Ari Gold from Entourage are tied up in court. Elon Musk says there are more fake accounts than Twitter is letting on, this devaluing his purchase. Twitter says, "Nu-uh." Mayhaps former Disney CEO Bob Iger can shed some light on the situation.
Iger says Disney looked to buy Twitter like they do everything else. However, unlike every other property to buy, it would be hard for them to make Twitter worse. But the Mouse passed. Why? Fake accounts.

Here are the "tips" as listed:

Switzerland Threatens to Jail People Who Heat Their Homes Too Much
Switzerland Threatens to Jail People Who Heat Their Homes Too Much:
People who heat their homes above a certain temperature in Switzerland during the Winter face fines and potentially up to three years in prison if energy rationing measures are put in place.
Under proposed legislation in the home of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Swiss lawmakers are preparing to set legal limits on the use of heating during the winter should the country face energy shortages. Under the plans, gas-heated buildings would be capped at 19C (66.2F) and water heating up to 60C (140F). Saunas and swimming pools would also be forced by government diktat to remain cold.

Schadenfreude Daily | Congratulations, virtue signaling environmentalists in the NE on the success of your war on fossil fuels | Facebook
Schadenfreude Daily | Congratulation virtue signaling environmentalists in the NE on the success of your war on fossil fuels | Facebook--Walt Fullam shared a link.
"Congratulations, virtue signaling environmentalists in the NE, on the success of your war on fossil fuels. The politicians and the citizens who elected them in the NE states are experiencing the schad caused in part by prohibiting the construction of more pipelines to increase supply.
They were unwilling to acknowledge their dependence on natural gas.
But now that the price is increasing they are screaming.
I think it’s called cognitive dissonance.
Or be careful what you wish for.
- On the other hand, why are Americans paying the price for the failure of the European energy fantasies?
If the folks in the NE were intellectually honest they would be happy to pay more for gas because in reality it is the natural result of their efforts to suppress supply."

Tesla sends message to owners about conserving electricity - Louder With Crowder:
Has your gas-guzzling SUV ever sent you a message telling you a specific time when you are not allowed to fill your vehicle with gas? Because Tesla owners are getting messages informing them of when NOT to charge their electric vehicles during California's "flex alert," which is where Californians are told when they can and cannot use electricity.

This is sick, folks.
No, this is worse than being sick.
It’s nothing short of pure, unadulterated, absolute Satanic evil, straight from the deepest, darkest pit of hell.
Stretch your imagination and try to envision anything more vile than mutilating children.
...If “trannies” want to castrate, emasculate, disembowel themselves, they can make that choice for their own lives...
But when they start disfiguring children, just for their selfish sexual gratification—and, make no mistake about it, that is all it is for, they cannot reproduce, so they must recruit, and the younger, the better—when they start doing that to children, they have descended into a dark, depraved phantasmagoria only the most debased monstrosity would enter.
- And we are tolerating it.

Inspector general says DHS allowed unvetted, dangerous Afghans to reach the U.S. - Washington Times
Inspector general says DHS allowed unvetted, dangerous Afghans to reach the U.S. - Washington Times:
The Homeland Security Department failed to fully vet some of the Afghan evacuees it brought into the U.S. during last year’s airlift, the department’s inspector general said in a devastating audit, which warned that some people who “posed a risk to national security” were indeed let into the country.
One evacuee, just liberated from prison by the Taliban, was cleared to reach the U.S. Another reached the U.S. and was released, only to have the FBI conclude three months later that the evacuee “posed national security concerns.”
The evacuation was constructed so hastily that the department wrote procedures on the fly, with screening decisions made “on an ad hoc basis,” said the audit, released Tuesday.
Mike Rowe’s Brilliant Response to the Kaepernick Nike Ad (9/10/2018)
Mike Rowe’s Brilliant Response to the Kaepernick Nike Ad(9-10-2018) "By now, you’ve probably heard all about Colin Kaepernick’s Nike ad...September 3, 2018. ...According to a recent Facebook post, a fan of Rowe’s noticed his silence on the issue and asked for his thoughts.
"In response, Rowe wrote the following:
"Nike’s free to celebrate whomever they wish, and Kaepernick is entitled to his opinion – kneeling, standing, or lying down. But if I was going to put someone’s face on a billboard – someone who epitomized bravery and sacrifice – I might have gone another way, especially this time of year. I might have gone with this guy – Tom Burnett.
Tom’s last act on earth was one of the most courageous things imaginable. And his last words to his wife, Deena, are among the most inspiring I’ve ever heard. Those exact words are at the top of this page, and the bottom. They were spoken seventeen years ago, under conditions I hope to never experience. I’ll never forget Tom’s last words. I hope you won’t either.
Tom: Deena
Deena: Tom, are you O.K.?
Tom: No, I’m not. I’m on an airplane that has been hijacked.
Deena: Hijacked?
Tom: Yes, They just knifed a guy.
Deena: A passenger?
Tom: Yes.
Deena: Where are you? Are you in the air?
Tom: Yes, yes, just listen. Our airplane has been hijacked. It’s United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco. We are in the air. The hijackers have already knifed a guy, one of them has a gun, they are telling us there is a bomb on board, please call the authorities. He hung up.
6:31 Deena calls 911
Deena: Hello
Tom: They’re in the cockpit. The guy they knifed is dead.
Deena: He’s dead?
Tom: Yes. I tried to help him, but I couldn’t get a pulse.
Deena: Tom, they are hijacking planes all up and down the east coast. They are taking them and hitting designated targets. They’ve already hit both towers of the World Trade Center.
Tom: They’re talking about crashing this plane. (a pause) … It’s a suicide mission…(he then tells people sitting around him)
Deena: Who are you talking to?
Tom: My seatmate. Do you know which airline is involved?
Deena: No, they don’t know if they’re commercial airlines or not. The newsreporters are speculating cargo planes, private planes and commercial. No one knows.
Tom: How many planes are there?
Deena: They’re not sure, at least three. Maybe more.
Tom: O.K….O.K….Do you know who is involved?
Deena: No.
Tom: We’re turning back toward New York. We’re going back to the World Trade Center. No, wait, we’re turning back the other way. We’re going south.
Deena: What do you see?
Tom: Just a minute, I’m looking. I don’t see anything, we’re over a rural area. It’s just fields. I’ve gotta go.
Tom: Deena
Deena: Tom, you’re O.K. (I thought at this point he had just survived the Pentagon plane crash).
Tom: No, I’m not.
Deena: They just hit the Pentagon.
Tom: (tells people sitting around him “They just hit the Pentagon.”)
Tom: O.K….O.K. What else can you tell me?
Deena: They think five airplanes have been hijacked. One is still on the ground. They believe all of them are commercial planes. I haven’t heard them say which airline, but all of them have originated on the east coast.
Tom: Do you know who is involved?
Deena: No
Tom: What is the probability of their having a bomb on board? I don’t think they have one. I think they’re just telling us that for crowd control.
Deena: A plane can survive a bomb if it’s in the right place.
Tom: Did you call the authorities?
Deena: Yes, they didn’t know anything about your plane.
Tom: They’re talking about crashing this plane into the ground. We have to do something. I’m putting a plan together.
Deena: Who’s helping you?
Tom: Different people. Several people. There’s a group of us. Don’t worry. I’ll call you back.
6:54 a.m. Fourth cell phone call to Tom to Deena
Deena: Tom?
Tom: Hi. Anything new?
Deena: No
Tom: Where are the kids?
Deena: They’re fine. They’re sitting at the table having breakfast. They’re asking to talk to you.
Tom: Tell them I’ll talk to them later.
Deena: I called your parents. They know your plane has been hijacked.
Tom: Oh…you shouldn’t have worried them. How are they doing?
Deena: They’re O.K.. Mary and Martha are with them.
Tom: Good.
(a long quiet pause)
Tom: We’re waiting until we’re over a rural area. We’re going to take back the airplane.
Deena: No! Sit down, be still, be quiet, and don’t draw attention to yourself! (The exact words taught to me by Delta Airlines Flight Attendant Training).
Tom: Deena! If they’re going to crash this plane into the ground, we’re going to have do something!
Deena: What about the authorities?
Tom: We can’t wait for the authorities. I don’t know what they could do anyway.
It’s up to us. I think we can do it.
Deena: What do you want me to do?
Tom: Pray, Deena, just pray.
(after a long pause)
Deena: I love you.
Tom: Don’t worry, we’re going to do something…

Never forget. Their ultimate goal is to take away your ability to protect yourself!-----A credit card industry group has approved a plan to track sales of guns and ammo with a new merchant code
A credit card industry group has approved a plan to track sales of guns and ammo with a new merchant code
This is part of a plan being pushed by congressional Democrats after Amalgamated Bank of New York, a progressive bank that often involves itself in social issues, made repeated attempts to push for the new code, all of which were denied....Merchant category codes are made up of four digits and are used across all sorts of industries as a means to classify retailers, while not revealing individual product purchases. Credit card companies currently lump firearm retailers in with other outlets, classifying them as either “5999: Miscellaneous retail stores” or “5941: Sporting Goods Stores.”
With a new code for firearms merchants, potentially suspicious purchasing patterns could be flagged to law enforcement...
If that’s so, why is Visa concerned about attempts to block transactions using these codes? I just checked and so far Elizabeth Warren hasn’t posted any tweets celebrating this outcome. She’ll probably get around to it this weekend.
Roth: California is forging ahead in socialism - TheBlaze
Roth: California is forging ahead in socialism - TheBlaze:
This unprecedented move is a head-scratcher in any environment, but particularly so after the stark outcomes from government COVID policy. The government-led picking of winners and losers, along with other policies that let a handful of people interfere in business in a historic manner, led to an unholy trinity of issues: a disrupted supply chain, a broken and under-supplied workforce, and rampant inflation.
Yet that isn’t stopping California, which is the incubator for many government-control ideas that often make their way to the national stage.
