Biden Weak Foreign Policy - TheBlaze
Biden Weak Foreign Policy - TheBlaze:
“The Biden family were a tremendously good investment for the Chinese Communist Party,” says Mark Levin, host of “LevinTV.”
Given the suspicious activities of the Biden family over the years, it is very convenient that the patriarch is now in control of the Department of Justice. They’ll never be investigated so long as they remain in office. The Chinese know this.

""For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."

Fentanyl smuggling: Experts say a new drug war won't work : NPR
"Republicans first politicized the fentanyl crisis during the midterms last November, falsely linking drug smuggling with undocumented migrants.
Now Democrats, too, are calling on the Biden administration to do more to pressure Mexican officials to crack down on the cartels.
"We work with our Mexican friends with kid gloves on this issue, and it's fundamentally wrong," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, said at a hearing on fentanyl last week. "I don't know how many more lives have to be lost for Mexico to get engaged."....

- ...The cult of the Left is ruled by fanatics, zealots, and true believers.
...The women are bad enough - trading their journey of empowerment for endless self-punishment over their whiteness.
So now their children are being used as sacred symbols for their path toward salvation...
- Cults separate children from parents.
- Cults separate mothers from their biological impulse to protect their children.
- Watching Democrats wear pins to the State of the Union that said “abortion” was yet another sign that the cult seeks to destroy the bond between mother and child.
...Years from now when all of these young people come to us to ask, Where were you?
- Why didn’t you protect us?
- What are we going to say?...

Councilman arrested for alleged voter fraud in connection to 2020 election - TheBlaze:
A California city councilman has been arrested and may have resigned his seat after officials discovered at his residence dozens of allegedly fraudulent ballots from the 2020 election.
Shakir Khan, 33, was first elected to serve on the city council of Lodi, California, about 15 miles north of Stockton, in 2020. Like many city council races, his election was close. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office estimated that he won the seat by just 282 votes.
The death of common sense!-----Stop participating in the delusions of the insane
Stop participating in the delusions of the insane - Robert Zimmerman"In a perfect example of the modern madness of our time, when a bearded heavy-set man using the name “Lily” Mestemacher was arrested in Arkansas for making bomb threats against a location in Mississippi, the local news organization reporting the story in Mississippi used female pronouns to describe him because he claimed he was a woman.
To quote that February 13, 2023 news report:
On February 10th, Mestemacher was transported to Oxford where she was booked on the aforementioned warrant. She was taken before a Lafayette County Justice Court judge for her initial bond hearing and issued a $50,000 bond.
His arrest mugshot is to the right.

Did a Government Intel Asset Plant Key Evidence in Proud Boys Case?
Did a Government Intel Asset Plant Key Evidence in Proud Boys Case?
- We should be suspicious of weird coincidences. - By Julie Kelly
Five members of the Proud Boys face the rare “seditious conspiracy” charge.
Guilty verdicts—almost certain given the government’s near-perfect conviction rate for January 6 defendants—would build legal momentum for a similar indictment against Donald Trump.
...It now appears that one key piece of evidence was not the work of any defendant in this case but rather written by a one-time government intelligence asset with unusual ties to both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, another group involved in January 6...

We've been WARNED!-----Victor Davis Hanson: The Chinese Spy Balloon, Orwellian Newspeak, and the Top-Down Revolution Engulfing America
Victor Davis Hanson: The Chinese Spy Balloon, Orwellian Newspeak, and the Top-Down Revolution Engulfing America
- “I’m just bewildered that these two evil regimes are so asymmetrically treated as we saw with the balloon … Had Russia done that, we would have shot that down the moment it got near the Aleutians,” says Victor Davis Hanson...“When they were trapped about the balloon, the new Soviet talking point came: ‘Balloons came in during Trump. Trump ignored them. Trump ignored balloons.’...
- Unlike the protests of the 1960s, this current woke revolution “was staged from the top,” Hanson says. “The left was not marching on the Pentagon. The left was not marching on the campus administrator. The left was not marching on Anaconda Copper or I.T.T. as they had been. They were inside the boardroom. They were inside the president’s office. They were inside the FBI. They were inside the CIA. They were inside the Pentagon.”
- “It’s actually an attack on meritocracy, and the whole empirical system of hiring the most qualified better person for the stability and success of society … Where this ultimately goes … it means that, as you see in Cuba or Venezuela or Colombia, very successful societies start to break down and they can’t deliver the essentials of life because they have a commissariat, a commissar system of ideology trumping empiricism,” Hanson says...

Gonna "need" free-money from Uncle Joe?-----Hospital systems brace for ‘crisis level’ pressures
Hospital systems brace for ‘crisis level’ pressures "...The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting toll on an overtaxed workforce, on labor prices, on supply chains and almost every aspect of health care operations has squeezed margins.
Despite the receding pandemic, however, other issues including overseas conflicts, rising labor costs and disruptions to still-healing supply chains are keeping hospital systems largely in the red.
- Across the U.S., hospital leaders are buckling in for a tight year for margins as costs for labor and supplies rise while compensation on the insurance front no longer meets their needs.

DeSantis suggestion to combat 'accumulation of power' in DC - TheBlaze
DeSantis suggestion to combat 'accumulation of power' in DC - TheBlaze:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suggested that the federal agencies should be spread throughout the nation rather than being concentrated in the nation's capital.
"Too much power has accumulated in DC and the result is a detached administrative state that rules over us and imposes its will on us," DeSantis said, according to the New York Post. "While there are a host of things that need to be done to re-constitutionalize government, parceling out federal agencies to other parts of the country could help reduce the negative effects of this accumulation of power."
The way we were-----Albert Göring
"It was difficult to be more of a Nazi than Reichsmarschall Herman Goering.
Perhaps that is what makes it so surprising that his younger brother Albert was so different."
"Racial disparities"
Facebook Dave Agema 
"The Air Force is going to promote based on race, gender etc.
This ruins morale.
You should be promoted based on who is most qualified.
It’s nothing but another quota system promoting less qualified people into leadership positions.
This not only effects morale, but combat readiness.
Biden’s and his selected senior officers are ruining our military.
- The Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion (SAF/DI) found racial disparities in the selection of Air Force airmen and Space Force guardians promoted to leadership positions, the DEIA newsletter, dated February 2023, says.
- To close those gaps and “support an inclusive culture,” the Air Force is “reporting status of officer promotions, civilian hiring, and force development data from a race, ethnicity and gender standpoint.”
CPS, Biden's new eco-swat team!-----The Biden administration’s junk-science-based plan to mandate coal-powered stoves
The Biden administration’s junk-science-based plan to mandate coal-powered stoves - by Timothy P. Carney, Senior Columnist |
"A member of the Biden administration admitted last year to planning a complete ban on natural gas-powered stoves through the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPS).
"There is sufficient information available for CPSC to issue a [Notice of Proposed Rulemaking] in FY 2023 proposing to ban gas stoves in homes," Democratic operative and Biden-appointed CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka wrote in October.
Trumka’s argument for a national gas stove ban was based on indoor air quality.
Trumka’s argument for a national gas stove ban was based on indoor air quality.
Specifically, he leaned on a very low-quality study by a green energy group that was trumpeted as showing that a huge portion of asthma cases are caused by gas stoves...

DeSantis team fires back at Eric Adams after he offers to teach Florida governor about NYC 'values' | Fox News:
"Nice rhetoric – but here’s reality: More Americans fled NYC than any other metro area last year," Pushaw wrote. "More Americans moved to Florida than any other state."
"You know this, Mayor Adams, and you’ve talked (accurately) about crime pushing people out of NYC," Pushaw said. "Florida’s crime rate meanwhile is at a 50-year low."
"Maybe it’s you who can learn from [DeSantis]?" the governor’s spokesperson said.
