Thomas Gallatin: Snopes Is 'Missing Context' | The Patriot Post

• The Leftmedia opinion-checker trots out an “explainer” label as it seeks to protect Joe Biden from negative press. - THOMAS GALLATIN

"...This army of “fact-checkers” includes the likes of PolitiFact, Lead Stories, FactCheck.org, NewsGuard, and Snopes — the latter being the subject of today’s lesson, which we’ll come back to after a little history.

...Media Matters sought to reinforce the lie that the MSM was not biased toward the Left. 

• And out of this effort grew the “fact-checker” phenomenon. These supposedly objective, non-biased entities were painted as arbiters of truth, primarily of stories or claims made across social media....

Now, back to Snopes, which demonstrated this in spades when it “fact-checked” a social media post from RNC Research. The post on X featured a 16-second video clip of Joe Biden with the caption, “BIDEN: ‘I love your ears.’”

• Obviously, the RNC was having a little fun at the expense of Creepy Joe, who has a long history of rather bizarre behavior around young women and girls. Ask his daughter Ashley, whose diary recounts some of it.

Did Snopes ask Ashley for context? Nope.
That’s even though Snopes titled its fact-check with an apparently new feature: “Explainer.”...

Internal docs show Biden admin waived taxpayer safeguards to boost offshore wind developer - Thomas Catenacci Fox News

"EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration quietly granted a request from an energy firm developing an offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts to waive development fees designed to safeguard taxpayers, according to internal documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.

• The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) informed Vineyard Wind that it had waived a financial assurance for decommissioning costs fee in a June 15, 2021, letter obtained by watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust (PPT). 
• Federal statute mandates that developers pay that fee prior to construction on their lease, a potentially hefty fee designed to guarantee federal property is returned to its original state after a lessee departs its lease...

How to fall asleep anywhere in 120 seconds or less | Blaze Media

How to fall asleep anywhere in 120 seconds or less | Blaze Media: 

Make a pot of coffee. Get yourself a nice, straight-backed chair with no cushioning -- something you might find at the DMV. Keep the lights on, fluorescent if possible. Play some machine gun sounds on a loop at maximum volume. Take a seat, close your eyes, and relax. That's how legendary sprinting coach Bud Winter taught a bunch of Navy pilots to fall asleep during World War 2. It took them six weeks of practice to get to this level, but once they did, it worked every time. And Winter's technique is something we can apply in situations even more hostile to peaceful slumber than combat. Flying coach from Philadelphia to Tampa, for example. Here's the technique, often called the "Military Method," as described in Winter's book "Relax and Win." It has two parts: relaxing the body, followed by relaxing the mind.

Hydrophobia - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry - Maybe it's rabies.

"I think we are pretty much done, and by “we”, I mean Western civilization.
It may survive in pockets around the world, but it sure appears we are headed for a Hobbesian world where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.
What took centuries to build from ignorance, barbarity, mysticism, and filth is now headed back into an age of ignorance, barbarity, mysticism, and filth – and in a matter of a few decades.
It’s due to three groups of people – 

• one group that welcomes savagery in the acquisition of power, 
• those who watch and do nothing because they don’t believe descent into madness and violence is possible, and 
• another group that clearly recognizes the fall, but is too small and impotent to take charge...

"Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. 

That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. 

Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found...

"Many of you will recall that Drudge at first did everything he could to promote Donald Trump. Then something happened, some sort of falling-out that no one ever really got to the bottom of, and Matt Drudge turned on the president. That was in 2019, a year of big changes for Drudge. There were rumors (still unconfirmed) that the site had been sold...

...For whatever reason, Matt Drudge, who was reportedly apolitical and more interested in the success of his site than any agenda, decided to tank the site. A comparison of Similiar Web (a site that ranks websites based on various metrics)  shows that Drudge was listed as #41 in the nation with 164 million visits in October 2018. Currently, the site ranks at #145 with 51 million visits in October 2023. That’s a major, major drop...
