GOP Rep. Moore: Dems 'Stepping on the Gas,' 'Continuing to Divide the Country' with MTG Saga
GOP Rep. Moore: Dems 'Stepping on the Gas,' 'Continuing to Divide the Country' with MTG Saga:
Representative Barry Moore (R-AL), a freshman member of Congress, warns if Republicans do not rally around embattled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), then the could be consequences later on down the line.
During an interview that aired on Mobile, AL radio’s FM Talk 106.5, Moore questioned the justification of Democrat efforts to target Greene, which he said was part of an overall trend of diving the country in a way that is not necessarily reflective of the 2020 presidential election.
NYC’S COVID VACCINE HUBS ARE GHOST TOWNS
Instapundit--NYC’S COVID VACCINE HUBS ARE GHOST TOWNS
FEBRUARY 7, 2021--LIFE IN THE BLUE ZONES:
NYC’s COVID vaccine hubs are ghost towns as DOH mum on distribution.
The city’s 15 vaccination hubs were ghost towns last Saturday, and the city Department of Health is refusing to reveal just how bad distribution went.
One DOH staffer stationed at the Hillcrest High School hub in Queens on Jan. 30 said he did nothing all day.
“You cannot imagine how much nothing it was,” he said of the demoralizing day.
He said there were about 70 workers on hand — some earning overtime pay for 12-hour shifts — and about 10 people to vaccinate.
The worker said several appeals were made to DOH officials to be able to vaccinate people without appointments, and they were denied. He said the hubs had about 400 to 700 doses.
“We could have used that day to vaccinate thousands of people … and we just blew it,” he said.
Even the New York Times has noticed that progressive regions are screwing up the vaccinations.--Posted by

Massachusetts climate official blasted for comments to ‘break your will’ over emissions.
“The state’s $130,000-a-year undersecretary for climate change is being blasted by a fiscal watchdog for saying the administration needs to ‘break’ the will of taxpayers when it comes to heating homes and driving cars.
The video shows David Ismay, Gov. Charlie Baker’s under secretary for climate change, telling Vermont climate advocates that it’s time to go after homeowners and motorists to help reduce emissions.
At the end of the clip, he adds: ‘I can’t even say that publicly.'”
Nope.

AOC Demands Followers Report Conservatives to Big Tech - Louder With Crowder:
Redstate broke a story on Wednesday questioning whether Congresswoman AOC was near the Capitol on January 6. Rep. AOC has been sharing these harrowing tales about how she thought she was almost murdered that day. She didn't know which of her colleagues sold her out to the insurrectionists. There was something about her wondering if she would die before becoming a mom. It's Rep. AOC. She's silly and overdramatic. And according to Redstate, nowhere near the Capitol when her alleged story unfolded.

Charges dropped against men who toppled UNC ‘Silent Sam’ monument
- In 2018, Shawn Birchfield-Finn and Raul Jimenez took part in a “Silent Sam” protest where the statue was yanked off of the pedestal.
- In 2019, the two were found guilty of injury to real property, personal property, disorderly conduct and riot.
- Now, the two have been dismissed of their charges due to “more serious trials” in the backlog amid the pandemic.
"...Birchfield-Finn and Jimenez faced 24 hours in jail, 18 months probation, and a $500 fine.
Both turned to the Superior Court to appeal the convictions and sought a jury trial.
However, District Attorney Jim Woodall said there were “more serious trials” in the backlog due to the coronavirus pandemic, and that they must “prioritize cases.”...Read all.

"In a recently posted Twitter thread of supposed “facts,” the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union claimed, among other things, that it’s a “myth” sex is binary and immutable and suggested transgender females — biological males — have no “unfair advantage” in women’s sports.
The ACLU tweeted that “trans girls are girls,” adding in big, bold letters, “MYTH: Sex is binary, apparent at birth, and identifiable through singular biological characteristics.”
That, of course, is not a myth.Biological sex refers to whether people are males or females, denoted by the genitalia with which they are born.

"In a blog post courtesy of the International Monetary Fund, IMF researchers Arnoud Boot, Peter Hoffmann, Luc Laeven, and Lev Ratnovski called for internet search history to be tied to credit score.
Presenting their findings from a paper they wrote, the researchers argue that by using non-financial data, specifically “the history of online searches and purchases,” we can solve the problem of “certain kinds of people not having enough hard data (income, employment time, assets and debts) available.”
...It should go without saying that giving this organization the power to track everyone’s search history can lead to some dark ramifications.

Tucker Carlson: Bank of America secretly handed over private customer data to the FBI following Capitol riot - TheBlaze:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed in a bombshell report Thursday night that Bank of America, the nation's second-largest bank serving more than 60 million people, secretly surveilled customers considered to be persons of interest following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and handed over their private information to federal investigators.
POLL: What scares you the most?
Carlson reported on air Thursday that his team exclusively obtained evidence that "in the days after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, Bank of America went through its own customers' financial and transaction records" at the request of federal law enforcement investigators, searching its databases for "people who fit a specific profile."

"...These steps, experts say, could prod more people to abandon the scourge of hoaxes and lies.
...But plenty of other Americans weren’t paying attention to Mr. Biden’s speech.
- They were too busy watching YouTube videos alleging that the inauguration was a prerecorded hoax that had been filmed on a Hollywood soundstage.
...And it raises an important question for the Biden administration: How do you unite a country in which millions of people have chosen to create their own version of reality?
- In the past year alone, we have seen conspiracy theorists cause Covid-19 vaccine delays, sabotage a wildfire response and engineer a false election fraud narrative.
- We have also seen that if left unchecked, networked conspiracy theories and online disinformation campaigns can lead to offline violence, as they did during last month’s deadly Capitol riot.
...So I called a number of experts and asked what the Biden administration could do to help fix our truth-challenged information ecosystem, or at least prevent it from getting worse.
Here’s what they told me.
...Joan Donovan, the research director of Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, suggested that the Biden administration could set up a “truth commission,” similar to the 9/11 Commission, to investigate the planning and execution of the Capitol siege on Jan. 6...Read all!!!!!

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance released a statement responding to Ismay’s remarks, calling them “reprehensible.”
“He describes his target as ordinary people in Massachusetts like the elderly on fixed incomes and the person across the street. They’re his target simply because they cannot change their lifestyles enough to be acceptable to his climate agenda,” Paul Diego Craney, a spokesperson for Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, said.
