Pilot program to include shared vehicle lane, bike lanes on Kalamazoo road | WWMT

• City officials in surrounding cities of Portage and Kalamazoo discussed Wednesday the future of bike safety. 

"KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Kalamazoo is launching a pilot road project that would include a center lane shared by both directions of traffic.
An Edge Lane Road design, or Advisory Bike Lane, also includes dashed prioritized bike lanes on the outside. 

• When a vehicle comes across another vehicle, both are expected to pause and move to the bike lane to pass each other, city officials said.

If a bicyclist is actively in the prioritized bike lane, the vehicle on the occupied bike side should yield behind the bike and let the other vehicle pass before continuing in center lane, according to the city.


The City of Kalamazoo is expected to post this sign on Winchell Avenue, west of Rambling Road, during a one-year pilot program of an Edge Lane Road design. (City of Kalamazoo/WWMT)...

Hunter Can Blackmail His Father Into a Pardon - Katie Pavlich

"When Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea agreement fell apart in spectacular fashion over the summer, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre frantically claimed President Joe Biden would not give his son a pardon. That there was no possibility of such a thing...

• ...President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are terrified of what Hunter might do if he takes the legal fall for the family business that made everyone rich...

Unless the younger Biden strikes another sweetheart plea deal, which would further undermine the justice system and credibility of the DOJ, Biden issuing a pardon to Hunter isn’t a possibility — it’s inevitable.

URGENT: New Pfizer-funded study shows properly dosed mRNA Covid jabs are useless in children under 5 - ALEX BERENSON

URGENT: New Pfizer-funded study shows properly dosed mRNA Covid jabs are useless in children under 5 - ALEX BERENSON

"The standard three-shot dosing regimen did not help young kids avoid medical care for Covid. 

• Why does the Centers for Disease Control continue to push jabs on them?

The approved three-dose schedule of Pfizer Covid jabs for children under 5 did not reduce Covid-related medical visits in those kids, scientists reported Friday.

• Covid jab advocates claim the shots help people avoid serious illness from Covid, though they offer brief protection - at best - against infection. 

But the new study suggested that the shots fail on that front too, and offer only risk and no benefit at all, at least in young kids.
Pfizer itself paid for the study, published as a “research letter” in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

IRS whistleblower's handwritten notes are released, corroborating explosive claim at heart of Hunter Biden investigation - TheBlaze

IRS whistleblower's handwritten notes are released, corroborating explosive claim at heart of Hunter Biden investigation - TheBlaze: 

Lawyers for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley released on Wednesday his personal handwritten notes from a critical meeting with U.S. Attorney David Weiss last October. Shapley, a senior supervisory agent who worked the Hunter Biden investigation, testified to Congress that Weiss admitted in a meeting on Oct. 7, 2022, that he was not the "deciding official on whether charges are filed" against the first son. Senior FBI agent Thomas Sobocinski, who also attended that meeting, has challenged Shapely's testimony, telling House investigators that he did not remember Weiss saying what Shapely claims.

Draconian CA Fast Food Bill, 'Will Result in a Devastating Financial Blow'

Draconian CA Fast Food Bill, 'Will Result in a Devastating Financial Blow'

"...The National Owners Association, which advocates for McDonald’s franchisees, is not happy:

"The new ‘AB 1228’ legislation has been voted into law and will result in a devastating financial blow to California McDonald’s franchisees at a projected annual cost of $250,000 per McDonald’s restaurant,"...

Here are some of the new rules franchisees will face if Governor Gavin Newsom signs the bill into law (which he has already pledged to do):

• It would raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.
• It would apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, except for restaurants that make and sell their own bread.
• It would also create a 10-person council to govern fast-food chains and set guidelines for working conditions and wages.

Why are restaurants that make their own bread exempt? I'm guessing some well-financed lobbying group got that language inserted...

Bidenomics is lipstick on a pig - TheBlaze

Bidenomics is lipstick on a pig - TheBlaze: 

Predictably, Joe Biden, along with his advisers, economists, and media mouthpieces, has been embracing what was supposed to be a negative phrase — Bidenomics — and spinning it as something good. But no matter how you try to spin it, portraying Bidenomics as a positive economic force is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig.

Will children ultimately be saved by our legal system?-----Nebraska woman sues trans doctors who removed her breasts as a teen

Nebraska woman sues trans doctors who removed her breasts as a teen

• The trans activists and all of their media enablers keep insisting that detransitioning among people who were groomed toward gender transition “treatment” as children is “rare.” 
• They also insist that all of this “transgender care” is fully reversible if people do change their minds. 
• Both of those claims have once again been shown to be lies in the case of Luka Hein of Nebraska. 

As a teenager, she suffered from a number of mental and emotional instability issues. 

But doctors (to use the term generously) from the Nebraska Medical Center convinced her that she was actually a boy. 

They quickly moved to put her on male hormones and convinced her to undergo a mastectomy. 

Now, having realized that she’s been a woman all along and has been physically injured in an irreparable fashion, she is suing the medical center and the doctors who did this to her. (National Review)

A Nebraska woman who underwent sex-change procedures as a teen but then detransitioned is suing the doctors and hospitals that facilitated the removal of her healthy breasts as part of her gender transition.

The lawsuit by Luka Hein was filed on Wednesday in Douglas County District Court. The accused parties include Nebraska Medicine, the Nebraska Medical Center, and UNMC Physicians...

NYC to Cut Overtime Pay for NYPD, Other Departments in Response to Migrant Crisis | National Review

• Jacques Jiha, the budget director for Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, told the city’s police, fire, corrections, and sanitations departments in a Saturday memo to each submit an overtime pay reduction plan “to reduce year-to-year OT spending.”...
• Jiha also noted the current assistance provided by President Joe Biden and New York governor Kathy Hochul is not enough, prompting City Hall’s decision to cut overtime pay among other financial measures.
• “The amount of aid we have received from the federal government and the state has been grossly inadequate and there has been no progress on a statewide or national decompression strategy,” Jhia wrote in the memo, first reported by Politico. 
• “The city can no longer continue to shoulder these skyrocketing costs and balance the budget without making very difficult choices.”

Vote Fraud-Election Fraud-Election Rigging

Things we all can agree on:

• Election winners and many supporters are richly rewarded.
• There is a significant incentive to cheat to win. Election theft can be rewarding on many levels.
• Election theft has been proven to have happened many times in the past, including the most recent elections.
• Election theft can affect all election races, including local and state elections. And proposals!
• The current system to ensure honest elections in MI and much of the USA is clearly flawed.

Election theft is relatively easy... more to come...

The real data behind the new COVID vaccines the White House is pushing

• What if I told you one in 50 people who took a new medication had a “medically attended adverse event” and the manufacturer refused to disclose what exactly the complication was — would you take it?
• And what if the theoretical benefit was only transient, lasting about three months, after which your susceptibility goes back to baseline?
• And what if we told you the Food and Drug Administration cleared it without any human-outcomes data and European regulators are not universally recommending it as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is?

That’s what we know about the new COVID vaccine the Biden administration is firmly recommending for every American 6 months old and up...

Here's the Climate Dissent You're Not Hearing About Because It's Muffled by Society's Top Institutions | RealClearInvestigations - By John Murawski

"As the Biden administration and governments worldwide make massive commitments to rapidly decarbonize the global economy, the persistent effort to silence climate change skeptics is intensifying – and the critics keep pushing back.

• This summer the International Monetary Fund summarily canceled a presentation by John Clauser, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who publicly disavows the existence of a climate “crisis.” The head of the nonprofit with which Clauser is affiliated, the CO2 Coalition, has said he and other members have been delisted from LinkedIn for their dissident views.
• Meanwhile, a top academic journal retracted published research doubting a climate emergency after negative coverage in legacy media. The move was decried by another prominent climate dissenter, Roger Pielke Jr., as “one of the most egregious failures of scientific publishing that I have seen” – criticism muffled because the academic says he has been blocked on Twitter (now X) by reporters on the climate beat...
