The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is poised to begin using the same military surveillance systems that American troops used against terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, as it moves into a “new path towards an intelligence based protective agency” after the January 6 Capitol breach.

The Dreaded Misery Index Is On The Rise Under Biden

The Dreaded Misery Index Is On The Rise Under Biden
"Young adults today are likely unfamiliar with the term “misery index.” 

But they could soon learn about it the hard way, thanks to President Joe Biden’s economic incompetence.
The misery index, a measure started under President Lyndon Johnson, is a simple measure combining the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. 

The idea being that joblessness and a fast-rising cost of living produces palpable misery in the country.
...The misery index has climbed each and every month that Joe Biden has been president....

...What’s driving the current rise in the misery index?
Biden and his fellow Democrats decided to pass another massive COVID-19 bailout — the “American Rescue Plan” — despite warnings from even liberal economists that flooding the economy with another $2 trillion in cash posed a serious risk of inflation...Read all.

Report: Texas Air Force base used to transport illegals across nation; No photos allowed

"The Biden administration is using Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas as a base to “secretly” transport illegal immigrants throughout the United States, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Wednesday, citing leaked correspondence.

The Fox News host posted an image of an email, which appeared to be from Lt. Colonel Matthew Burrows, that alerted members of the base that “passenger aircraft” would be utilizing runways under the direction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.

“Over the next few days, weeks or months you may see passenger aircraft on our ramp transporting undocumented non-citizens,” the email read in part. “Please review the attached public affairs guidance on this issue.”...Read all.

"As many as two of every five Americans who've died from COVID-19 were suffering from diabetes, making the chronic disease one of the highest-risk conditions during the pandemic, an expert says.
About 40% of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States were among diabetics, a "really quite sobering" statistic that should prompt people with the ailment to get vaccinated, said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief scientific and medical officer for the American Diabetes Association...Read all.

US Surgeon General Asks Big Tech to Restrict Voices That Challenge Biden Regime Narrative on Vaccinations - The Last Refuge

US Surgeon General Asks Big Tech to Restrict Voices That Challenge Biden Regime Narrative on Vaccinations - The Last Refuge

"Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, Vice Admiral, U.S. Public Health Service Surgeon General of the United States, has produced new guidance to combat “misinformation” about health guidance as provided by the U.S. Government.  [pdf Here]  Comrades, the ‘Ministry of Truth’ is becoming very real.

The government push to promote vaccinations for COVID-19 has gone well beyond reasonable advancement for the public health.  Now, we are entering a phase where the ongoing demand is becoming problematic, propaganda.  More government advocates are pushing toward mandatory vaccinations for a virus that has 99.9% survival rate.

...the alliance between government and Big Tech is becoming increasingly worrisome.  Now the surgeon general is asking Big Tech to get even more involved and start pushing even more consequences for those who ask reasonable questions and are righteously skeptical of the government position...Read all.

Forget about Booting Biden - American Thinker
"As the forensic audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, winds down, expectations are rising that the defects of the 2020 election will finally be addressed. 

...Fixing the 2020 election requires going after the people who put Biden in office.
...To understand why, let's start with the Maricopa audit. 

 It can't prove fraud. 

All it can do is show if the county conducted the election according to legal minimum standards. 

Given the long list of Election Day "anomalies" and "irregularities," it's an easy bet that the audit will show that Maricopa Country failed to meet those standards.
A failed audit is where the fun begins.

The Arizona state Legislature will have to conduct multiple investigations.  

• One to decide if negligence or fraud caused the failure.  
• A second investigation to decide how to prevent future failures.  
• Finally, if fraud is proven, multiple criminal investigations, arrests, and trials will have to take place...Read all.

WATCH: Dinesh D'Souza breaks down why the media doesn't want you to know who killed Ashli Babbitt | The Post Millennial: 

"This is strange," D'Souza said, "because think about it, there have been a number of police shootings over the last couple of years. Can you think of a single case where the identity of the officer has been systematically concealed by the media? There's no such case. So in this one case, they are preventing people from knowing what I just told you. Why?" he pressed further.

Texas State Senate Passes Voter Integrity Bill - Louder With Crowder

Texas State Senate Passes Voter Integrity Bill - Louder With Crowder: 

Texas Democrats ran away this week instead of passing a commonsense voter integrity bill. If you don't know the lies being told about the bill, allow Joe Biden to clue you in. The Texas bill, like ANY voting law, is the "biggest threat to our democracy" since the Civil War. But that was just Democrats in the state House of Representatives, who will be arrested upon returning to the Lone Star State. The Texas Senate? They grabbed some BBQ, threw back a few Shiners, put on Josh Abbott Band's "Front Row Seat," and passed the bill anyway.

EDITORIAL: Cuban uprising should serve as a wake-up call to American socialists - Washington Times: 

Make no mistake — thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday in at least 14 cities, in a police-controlled country that surveils and jails dissidents — to protest communism, not just the country’s abysmal COVID-19 response.

Cubans must stand in hours-long lines to buy simple necessities such as bread. They experience rolling blackouts as the country’s electric grid is overrun, suffering for hours in the scorching summer months, where it can be unbearable to live without a fan or air conditioner.

"Can we just take a minute and laugh together about this? 

BLM attacked Boston Pride, a gay activist group that's been around for 50 years, claiming that they're too white. 

Boston Pride
responded by apologizing and disbanding its entire organization in shame. 

Just fantastic stuff. 

BLM just comes in and nukes its own allies for no discernible reason at all, and everyone on the Left is powerless to stop them or even voice an objection."

Penn president set for high-profile ambassador gig after paying Biden $900K for vaguely defined professor post | The College Fix
"The president of the University of Pennsylvania is poised to become U.S. Ambassador to Germany after paying then-Vice President Joe Biden $900,000 for a job at the Ivy League school that required no regular classes and up to 12 appearances on campus.
Penn President Amy Gutmann will likely be announced as Biden’s pick for the prime ambassadorship, raising questions about whether the slot is payback for the lucrative position Biden held at Penn after leaving the vice president’s office in 2017, according to news reports.
...Biden collected $371,159 in 2017 and $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 for a job with
largely undefined duties. 

The agreement also required around a dozen appearances on campus, most of which were attended by wealthy donors paying top-dollar for tickets...Read all.
