India's 'partnership' leads to quiet displacement of U.S. professionals * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta

India's 'partnership' leads to quiet displacement of U.S. professionals * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta: 

India's vision to become the world's "Skill Capital" is not rhetorical. It is a multi-agency operation backed by state policy, foreign investment and diplomatic engagement. Its goals are clearly stated and its implementation is ongoing. What remains to be seen is whether the United States will continue to treat this as partnership, or begin to recognize it as a strategic labor realignment with serious consequences for Americans.

Mark Steyn's Vindication: A Triumph for Free Speech and Personal Fortitude David Manney

What began as a battle over words became a battle over the soul of free speech.

In 2012, Michael Mann filed a defamation suit against Steyn, the National Review, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), and Rand Simberg. 

Simberg had published a blog post likening Mann’s professional conduct to Penn State’s handling of Jerry Sandusky. 

• Steyn quoted Simberg’s post and added his commentary, calling Mann’s famous "hockey stick" graph fraudulent.
• Rather than engage in rebuttal, Mann went for the jugular. He sued.

Steyn endured a legal process that lasted over a decade, dragging him through courtrooms, draining his resources, and exposing him to smears...

• Mark Steyn’s story is not just about one man’s fight against the system. It’s about the system’s fear of one man...
• That Steyn did so while recovering from multiple heart attacks and footing his own legal bills only adds to the gravity of his achievement. 

Most people would have walked away, and most would have compromised.
Steyn doubled down...

The Western Media’s Role in Genocide, Assassinations, and the Near Destruction of the U.S. By Clarice Feldman

As I see it, there were three big stories this week: 

• the media’s pretense that it was ignorant of Biden’s infirmities when it mattered; 
• the cold-blooded assassination in D.C. of two young employees of the Israeli embassy, 
• and the president’s refusal to join in the whitewashing of the genocide in South Africa.

Examination of the details of these events reveals beyond the possibility of doubt that the mainstream press here and abroad is guided by anti-truth, antisemitic, anti-white, and anti-Western civilization animus. 

The press deserves a harsh reckoning: ignore them, drive down circulation and views, expose their lies and agenda.

• Press: Like Sergeant Schultz, They Saw Nothing, Knew Nothing...

Institutions created to make sure atrocities like the Holocaust never happen again have been captured by leftists and Islamists to do everything to make it happen again.

The report points to records from May 2021, in which health officials at HHS discussed whether to issue a formal warning about myocarditis.

According to the report, the formal warning about myocarditis was initially going to be distributed nationwide as a Health Alert Network message,

'Don't Mass up New Hampshire': NH takes critical step to avoid fate of neighboring sanctuary cesspools | Blaze Media

'Don't Mass up New Hampshire': NH takes critical step to avoid fate of neighboring sanctuary cesspools | Blaze Media: 

Sanctuary jurisdictions have sprouted up in many areas around the nation and, in many cases, created an undesired spillover effect for neighboring communities that reject such policies. New Hampshire has grappled with this issue due to Democratic leaders in Massachusetts implementing measures to shield illegal aliens, including criminals, from federal immigration authorities.

We are reaching the point in the conversation about Biden's mental infirmity where it becomes clear it was known and it is indefensible that something wasn't done - that the 25th Amendment wasn't used or he wasn't forced to resign "to spend more time with his family".

What happens every time when one can't continue to argue that it was of no concern, is that the argument gets turned. - Michael Smith 

"The past is past," they will say, "There's nothing we can do about it now - but there IS something we can do about it going forward to preserve the Republic!"

• They are then going to go after Trump demanding all the things they should have done with Biden to be done with Trump. 
• Competency testing, more often medical checkups and disclosure to the public, tighter requirements for signing legislation, more judicial review of his actions - it is all coming.
• "The executive branch is one person," they will say, "and that means that person must be under intense scrutiny to avoid them doing anything of which we don't approve. 
• The checks and balances must be increased on the Executive Branch!"

Democrats are masters at using their screw ups to increase leverage over their opponents and by doing so, escape accountability and responsibility for what they did...
