But the "most alarming" aspect of the legislation, according to R Street Institute fellow Josh Withrow, is the potential for Congress to create an implicit "link tax" — a payment the government would force tech platforms to make to publishers for sharing their content.
"The clever thing about the bill is that it never mentions this link taxes, copyright, or any specific means of revenue sharing at all.
...Harari at 4:20 explains that 2% of global GDP is a reasonable amount for his WEF sponsors to further extract from the economy to fight “climate change.” (Global GDP in 2022 is projected to be $103 trillion dollars. Two percent of that figure is about $2 trillion, give or take a few billion.)
He warns that if you don’t agree right away, we’re all going to die a miserable collective death. He reminds the viewer, like any good high-pressure shyster salesman would, that there’s no time to think.
Interestingly, neither Harari nor the CNN actor, Bill Weir, get around to explaining: which administrative entity will receive that $2 trillion
what exactly the entity is going to do with the money it collects to end climate change
what accountability process will be in place to ensure the money actually goes to combating “climate change” (whatever that means)…or any of the mechanics, actually.
The important thing is to shut up and write the check. The details will take care of themselves...
The United States Air Force Academy is teaching cadets to embrace an "inclusive climate" that includes "all genders." The guidance focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion calls for cadets to utilize "inclusive language" that bars words like "terrorist," "mom," and "dad."
"“Germany is totally controlled by Russia,” he said. “They will be getting between 60 and 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline.”
But those numbers aren’t correct.
...But Trump’s assertion that the pipeline will provide 60 to 70 percent of Germany’s energy is incorrect. While Russia will be able to increase the amount of natural gas it sells to Germany through the pipeline, Russian gas will only provide a sliver of the overall energy Germany needs. Germany’s energy comes from a diverse mix of oil, coal and renewables. Less than one fifth of the country’s power is powered by natural gas; at the moment, just 9 percent of the country’s power is generated by Russian gas.
...Trump complained Germany is “making Russia richer.”...“I think it is a very bad thing for NATO and I don’t think it should have happened and I think we have to talk to Germany about it.” From Trump’s perspective, trading with adversaries is bad business..."

A teacher at Traverse City Public Schools uses gender preference forms as an icebreaker. Why?
What's being put into your kid's head in the classroom?
...Sally Roeser says that a teacher in the Traverse City Area Public Schools used an icebreaker document that suggests the teacher’s willingness to conceal information from parents.
...German class at Traverse City West Senior High School. It asks for the student’s preferred name. A follow-up question asks the conditions under which the teacher may use that name. “May I use this name when I contact parents/guardians?” The document gives the student who answers ‘no’ the chance to tell the teacher what name should be used in front of parents...

...It is unimaginable that if the pope threatened a novelist with death for blaspheming against Christ, leftists would oppose the author, even though some did, and still do, in the case of Salman Rushdie.
It is unimaginable that if Christian radicals broke into the offices of a magazine and massacred its staff for the crime of depicting their God in an irreverent manner, liberals would condemn the journalists, even though some did in the case of Charlie Hebdo.
It is unimaginable that if Serbian Orthodox terrorists bombed U.S. and European cities, progressives would blame Western foreign policy, even though some have in the case of al-Qaeda and ISIS.
A clear tendency towards excusing or rationalizing negative phenomena inspired by Islamically derived beliefs has marked liberals and leftists who have tended to see Muslims as innocent victims of Western imperialism and nativism..."

"...The survey asked, “How serious a problem is illegal immigration in the U.S. as a whole?”

Judicial Watch said Tuesday it filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for Secret Service records related to the investigation surrounding Hunter Biden’s infamous gun.
What's the background?
Two years ago, TheBlaze was the first to report that Hallie Biden — widow of President Joe Biden's son Beau — in October 2018 took Hunter Biden's handgun from his vehicle without his knowledge and placed it in a garbage can outside a Delaware supermarket, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The U.S. Census Bureau admitted it overcounted or undercounted populations of 14 states during its 2020 constitutionally required decennial count.
The federal agency’s report indicates that
overcounts occurred in Democratic-dominated states while population
undercounts affected Republican-dominated states.
Breitbart News further reported: With the 2022 elections roughly 50 days away and the Supreme Court about to take up major election cases, conservatives (only) are crying foul and demanding answers..."
What is the significance of his admission?
The government alleges in court filings that the highly classified documents that Trump allegedly retained at Mar-a-Lago may have compromised national security.
Considering the seriousness of the allegations, why has Biden's top national security adviser not been briefed about this possible national security leak?
