Federal judge dismisses transgender plaintiffs' lawsuit seeking to change their sex on birth certificates - TheBlaze: 

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to force the state of Tennessee to allow transgender plaintiffs to change their birth certificates to match their gender identity, the Associated Press reported. U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson wrote that the word "sex," when it comes to birth certificates, means "external genitalia at birth." The judge also said that a birth certificate does not become inaccurate if the person's gender identity later in life is a mismatch.

Wow, the solution?!!-----2024: How to Out-Compute the Left - American Thinker

2024: How to Out-Compute the Left - American Thinker - By Jay Valentine

• In 2024 Republicans cannot "out-fraud" the left, cannot "out-ballot-harvest" them, cannot "out-lawfare" them, cannot "out-media" them, cannot "out–contribution mule" them, cannot "out–Justice Department" them...but sure as hell can out-compute them — and that may do it.
• The left owns the election apparatus — voting equipment, ballot-manufacturing, vagrant habitats, election commissions, media intimidation of judges not to look at election fraud and driving out any lawyer who raises a valid case. 
• Electioneering, by both sides, currently runs 1970s technology. Leftists make good use of obsolete relational tech; Republicans, not so much.

In 2024, there is an opportunity to out-compute the left. 

Here's what it may look like.
Ninety percent of current election fraud comes in two buckets: 

• election commissions jacking with voter rolls like Arizona and 
• Wisconsin and mail-in ballots collected and illegally voted like everywhere.

Neither fraud bucket is thwarted by organizational solutions — both can be stopped with real-time compute power...

Worth knowing the true history!-----Putin Invokes 1,000-year Russia By Clifford Thies

Putin Invokes 1,000-year Russia By Clifford Thies


"In an address to the nation during the recent failed coup attempt, Vladimir Putin referred to a 1,000-year history of Russia, and to a stabbed-in-the-back theory of WWI.

This man believes in this cartoonish mythology and has nuclear weapons.

• A short history of Russia.

In the Russia view, the 1,000 years of Russia began in 862, upon the arrival of a not particularly noteworthy chieftain in a not particularly noteworthy place.

This event was followed by a series of historical accidents and “inevitably” resulted in the emergence of a great and powerful state, namely, the Russian Empire...

NYC drag marchers chant "We're coming for your children!" - TheBlaze: 

The group released a music video titled: "A Message From the Gay Community." The video begins with one singer announcing, "As we celebrate Pride and progress we've made over these past years, there's still work to be done. So to those of you out there who are still working against equal rights, we have a message for you." The song is about the "gay agenda," and the lyrics declare: "We'll convert your children."

Drag queens chanting ‘we’re coming for your kids’ hurt gay rights

Drag queens chanting ‘we’re coming for your kids’ hurt gay rights - New York Post
"At New York’s annual Drag March on Friday, activists chanted “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”
It’s shocking. 

But not new. 

In recent years, such blunt, outrageous rhetoric from the gay left has become pretty familiar.
Two years ago, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus released a YouTube video in which 81 of its members sang a song with the refrain: “We’ll convert your children / Happens bit by bit. / Quietly and subtly. / You will barely notice it.”...

"According to National Public Radio we are having the worst megadrought in 1,200 years here in the west.

Former congressman calls out government 'disinformation' schemes to be purged

Former congressman calls out government 'disinformation' schemes to be purged: 

In fact, the Biden administration has multiple times planned or assembled government teams that would be assigned to monitor – and censor – information that is circulated inside the United States, apparently with the goal of eliminating opinions with which Biden disagrees.

Freedom of Speech?

Rishi Sunak to hit households with 170 net zero green levy

"Households will pay a £170-a-year green levy on energy bills in the coming days, with Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt accused of “slyly” shifting costs back to consumers...
The cost of the levies was shifted from consumer bills to be funded instead by the Government, following a year-long campaign by energy firms and MPs amid spiraling gas, electricity and food prices last year.
It will again be imposed on consumers...

What Is Biden’s Obsession With Using F-16s To Kill Other Americans? - Kurt Schlichter

What Is Biden’s Obsession With Using F-16s To Kill Other Americans? - Kurt Schlichter 

"Alleged president Joe Biden is on his “ban assault rifles'' kick again because the government apparently needs to keep firearms 

• out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and 
• in the hands of meth-addled whoremonger scumbags like his son. 

One constant component of this stumped stump speech is a line of nonsense that essentially boils down to us not needing real guns to fight government tyranny because the government – his government – will unleash the F-16s on you uppity peasants if you fail to obey your elite masters. 

...Putin’s Wagner problem provides an example of what happens when the folks you are counting on to do your dirty work start counting and realize that the numbers are on their side. 

But all mutinies are not openly mutinous. 

A little story, with the names omitted to protect the jerk involved: 

There once was this aviation battalion commander who was a real pain – just obnoxious – and then the battalion deployed to a combat zone. The commander continued being obnoxious, including to maintenance personnel. And suddenly, the unit operational readiness rate for the choppers dropped. This is bad. You do not want to be in a war zone and have to explain why 80% of your choppers are grounded. You can’t just order the aircraft ungrounded – you need to get the maintainers to maintain and sign off. But the OR rate kept dropping, and no amount of threats, screaming, and other fulminations could bring it up. The generals relieved the commander; oddly, the OR rate shot right up under the new CO. So, all resistance is not necessarily kinetic...

The Pentagon's AI is not going to look like ChatGPT - JAZZ SHAW

"...That brings us back to the everpresent SKYNET question.

• What will the Pentagon’s AI system be “thinking” about when it has access to all of our military secrets and intelligence assets? 

And what might it decide to do with that information if it has control of some of the Pentagon’s more interesting toys? 

Those include things like their autonomous military drones that carry weapons and use limited (for now) artificial intelligence to navigate the battlefield and identify targets.

• Do we really want a system such as the one being planned to have that kind of firepower? 

Call me paranoid if you wish, but I’m no longer entirely joking when I say that this is all getting a distinctly SKYNET feel to it. 

‘PentGPT, stand down the missile launchers.’

Ted Cruz calls on House to investigate impeaching Biden over Hunter allegations: 'Direct evidence' | Fox News

Ted Cruz calls on House to investigate impeaching Biden over Hunter allegations: 'Direct evidence' | Fox News: 

"This WhatsApp directly ties Joe Biden to the millions of dollars coming from communist China," Cruz said. "Now, it is possible Hunter Biden was lying, it's possible Joe Biden wasn't next to him. It's possible Joe Biden was not going to inflict official damage on the Chinese if they didn't pay him and his son millions of dollars. That's possible, but you know what, we don't know if it's true or not. Why? Because, according to the whistleblower, they didn't investigate, and they were prohibited from investigating. They were prevented from even asking the question." "Let me be clear: This, on the face of it, is obstruction of justice," he said. "And if Merrick Garland issued that order, he is the one blocking the investigation, and I think there's real evidence of Merrick Garland being guilty of obstruction of justice."

Here's a quick explainer on what's happening between Wagner and the Russian military | Not the Bee - Daniel Plainview

The Russian paramilitary group Wagner made headlines overnight and into Saturday after the group's owner and leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, vowed to strike back against the Russian military over allegations that government troops had killed a significant number of his private mercenaries.
In a nutshell, Prigozhin claims that Russian troops fired on and killed his own men as the latter fought in eastern Ukraine...
Prigozhin has vowed to continue to Moscow and appears to be on his way already...
And Putin has ordered his military to crush the Wagner coup.

• In the recent past, Prigozhin has been a sharp critic of Russia's elite class for what he said has been wasteful and profligate conduct during the Ukrainian war. He has even criticized Vladimir Putin, which is a big no-no in Russia.

Here is Putin's address to Russia about the uprising:

UPDATE: Aaaand it's over.
The greatest challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power fizzled out after the rebellious mercenary commander who ordered his troops to march on Moscow abruptly reached a deal with the Kremlin to go into exile and sounded the retreat...

Tucker Carlson blasts medical establishement in new video - TheBlaze: 

Carlson described an imaginary scenario in which an airplane cabin is filling with smoke but nobody is talking about it. When someone mentions the smoke to a flight attendant, she replies, "Shut up racist!" adding, "That's a dangerous Russian conspiracy theory. Stop spreading misinformation or I'll call TSA and have you arrested when we land." After laying out that scenario, Carlson suggested that it serves as a parallel to modern American society. He said that while people can sense that there is "something very bad going on," leaders will not acknowledge it and insist that nothing is amiss.

NYT columnist roasted on a spit for his 'boot licking' spin on the inspirational 'Hunter Biden saga' - American Wire News

NYT columnist roasted on a spit for his 'boot licking' spin on the inspirational 'Hunter Biden saga' - American Wire News - Chris Donaldson
There can be no serious argument that the media isn’t in the bag for President Joe Biden but a New York Times columnist took the spin to an entirely new level with a piece gaslighting readers that the “Hunter Biden saga” is less about the pervasive corruption of the crack-smoking, gun-toting, sexual degenerate but a tale of how a flawed man overcame his addictions with help of his loving dad that should serve as an inspiration to all...
In his piece titled “The Real Lesson From the Hunter Biden Saga,” Nicholas Kristof foists off his shameless propaganda about Hunter and his crooked career politician father who he writes, offers “the country a fine model of the love and support that people with addictions need.”

Kristof’s piece was received with all of the scorn and ridicule that it was deserving of, and then some, from Twitter...

Democrats tried to keep Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony secret | Fox News

Democrats tried to keep Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony secret | Fox News: 

Every House Democrat on the committee that released whistleblower testimony about the Hunter Biden tax probe on Thursday voted to keep that information hidden from the public eye.

A pair of IRS whistleblowers accused the Biden administration of stymying U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ investigation into President Biden’s son, which resulted in a plea deal earlier this week that is expected to see him avoid time behind bars. Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to a pair of tax-related misdemeanor charges, but the whistleblowers claimed that it came after the Department of Justice "provided preferential treatment, slow-walked the investigation, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest in this investigation."
