Mandatory Vaccination: The Greater Evil of Society

Mandatory Vaccination: The Greater Evil of Society: 

The role of public health agencies is to provide the public with accurate information and respect individuals and communities to make their own decisions. Seven ethical principles of public health should be at the heart of any public health intervention: non-maleficence, beneficence, respect for autonomy, health maximization, efficiency, justice, and proportionality. Human rights, scientific facts, and common sense should also be applied. Here are 10 reasons why COVID-19 vaccination should never be mandatory:

Here's Why Climate Alarmists Are Ignoring All-Time Record Crop Production in India.

  Here's Why Climate Alarmists Are Ignoring All-Time Record Crop Production in India.

"All-time record crop production in India belies the doomsday narrative of climate alarmists. 

To no great surprise, the U.N. and media ignore the remarkable achievement of this country of 1.4 billion people because it contradicts a political agenda pursued with religious fervor."
"Even as the world’s largest democracy enhances global food security, the media spread news of the U.N.’s “code red” for humanity over August’s specious report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that rising temperatures threaten the earth."

We're gonna see much more of this "doctored video" lies from libs-----Twitter labels Trudeau minister’s video about O’Toole as ‘manipulated media’

Twitter labels Trudeau minister’s video about O’Toole as ‘manipulated media’
"Twitter took official action against Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's account Sunday, following her tweeting out a doctored video of Conservative leader Erin O'Toole.
After The Post Millennial broke the story earlier in the day, Twitter flagged the Liberal MPs account for "manipulated media." 

...However, it was quickly revealed that the Liberal campaign doctored the video.
Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party campaigned all Sunday on this talking point, including Freeland sending out a mass mailer and Trudeau speaking in public, spreading the disinformation.
"O'Toole came out in the pandemic, clearly in favour of a private, for-profit healthcare system for Canada," said Trudeau on a campaign stop in New Brunswick. 

Trudeau's statement on O'Toole is based on the doctored footage and is entirely false...Read all!

Pollak: 13 Things the Next California Governor Can Do After Newsom Recall

Pollak: 13 Things the Next California Governor Can Do After Newsom Recall: 

If Newsom is recalled, it is likely he will be replaced by a Republican — probably conservative radio host Larry Elder, who would also become the first black governor of California. (The only other candidate to lead a poll is real estate investor and YouTuber Kevin Paffrath, a Democrat.)

Regardless, the next governor will face severe constraints. First of all, the legislature will still be run by Democrats, who have a supermajority in both chambers, and who are dominated by the far-left. Second, the new governor will only serve the remainder of Newsom’s term before facing re-election in 2022, when Democrats are likely to turn out in greater force. So a new governor will have limited ability, and a short window, to make an impact.

Here are 13 things that can be done:

How the California Megadrought Is Affecting Food Prices

How the California Megadrought Is Affecting Food Prices

• California's multibillion-dollar agriculture industry is in serious trouble due to the drought. And you'll be paying for it at the grocery store.

"...All of this is causing major problems for farmers in California, Arizona, and beyond. California produces “over a third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of the country’s fruits and nuts” and much of its dairy products, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. 

That means what’s happening in the West is going to have implications for the entire nation. 

If we don’t move quickly to address climate change and how we manage water resources, this could become a problem that only gets harder to manage every year.

...“All of the usual culprits that are water-intensive in California agriculture are starting to increase in prices.”...Read all.

The Ides of August

"...Two decades ago, young people in Kandahar were telling me how the proxy militias American forces had armed and provided with U.S. fatigues were shaking them down at checkpoints. 

...I and too many other people to count spent years of our lives trying to convince U.S. decision-makers that Afghans could not be expected to take risks on behalf of a government that was as hostile to their interests as the Taliban were. 

...For two decades, American leadership on the ground and in Washington proved unable to take in this simple message.  

I finally stopped trying to get it across when, in 2011, an interagency process reached the decision that the U.S. would not address corruption in Afghanistan. 

It was now explicit policy to ignore one of the two factors that would determine the fate of all our efforts. 

That’s when I knew today was inevitable......Read all!

"...If we look at what India and China are both doing. 

They are moving full-speed ahead with coal-fired electricity generation," he said. 

"What India is doing... they are snubbing their nose at the U.N...
"China is going full-speed ahead. 

In fact, if you look they have more coal-fired electricity generation facilities planned and under construction right now than there is in the entire United States," Wrightstone added.

"Do you think that [General George S. Patton] was woke? I don't think so. He was the exact opposite," Trump declared, and then skewered current "woke" U.S. military leaders, such as General Mark A. Milley who defended studying critical race theory in the military. Trump also blasted "woke generals" in his first post-presidential rally that was held in June. "You know what woke means? It means you're a loser," Trump gibed. "It's true. Everything woke turns to sh**."

The cable, dated July 13, also called for the State Department to use tougher language in describing the atrocities being committed by the Taliban, one of the people said. President Joe Biden infamously promised last month that Afghanistan would not fall.
