Embrace the Chaos - JUPPLANDIA 

"So here it is.
The Swamp can be crossed, the Swamp can be beaten.

We were told that when Matt Gaetz was brave and honest enough to hold Kevin McCarthy to account for his broken promises it was a disastrous, dumb move. It was disunity. It was extremist stupidity. It was typical MAGA ‘incompetence’.

The representatives who take their money and instructions from the military industrial complex and donor interests inimical to the interests of actual Republican voters were frothing at the mouth.

Some of the invective against Gaetz from other Republicans read like a Hamas description of Israeli Jews. Gaetz was a malign clown, a showboating idiot causing destruction and ruin. Removing McCarthy was the action of a madman, apparently.

It was interesting to see that the Polite Republicans, the RINOs and the Never Trumpers, were capable of passion and feeling. 

Only what they are passionate about is preserving control of their party against the wishes of their voters...

Not really great news.-----U.S. GDP grew at a 4.9% annual pace in the third quarter, better than expected

Hmmm. 

Reported as "big surprise" but the estimate was 4.7% increase. 

AND, this is our "honest" government's "Advance Estimate". Notoriously optimistic and often changed later.

Also note "GOVERNMENT CONSUMPTION" is 27% of the GDP. Increased government spending is ultimately fiscal suicide. That ain't good!!!

Add in inflation, which distorts the numbers. Spending more for less AIN'T GOOD!

U.S. GDP grew at a 4.9% annual pace in the third quarter, better than expected: 

"Gross domestic product, a measure of all goods and services produced in the U.S., rose at a 4.9% annualized pace in the third quarter, ahead of the 4.7% estimate. 

The sharp increase came due to contributions from consumer spending, increased inventories, exports, residential investment and government spending...

The United States Navy shot down three cruise missiles and a set of drones stemming from a faction in Yemen who launched them over the Red Sea.

The USS Carney took down the missiles and drones after they were launched from the Arabian Peninsula, the Pentagon stated in a press conference briefing.

OMG, we're all gonna die...unless we give more power to the rich?-----1.5C – “Unfortunately, Time is Up”

1.5C – “Unfortunately, Time is Up” - Essay by Eric Worrall 

• Earth’s vital signs have never been worse, as climate scientists warn of ‘unbearable heat and shortages of food and freshwater’ - “Unfortunately, time is up.”...Life on planet Earth is under siege. We are now in an uncharted territory...

"The report claims extreme weather is worse, but we’ve all heard this nonsense before.

• The only significant bad identified, food security and undernourishment, is more likely the consequences of the Ukraine war, and high energy prices driving up the cost of fertiliser. 
• The ongoing high level political attacks on the use of fertiliser and agricultural chemicals, and
• insane agriculture policies such as buying out farmers and requiring they never farm again, as part of the settlement, are probably contributing to disruption in the agricultural sector. 
• The push for “rewilding“, destroying farmland and giving it over to the weeds, is probably also contributing. 

Greens are responsible for creating a food crisis we don’t have to have.
As for the claims of climate instability, there is no paleo climate evidence that a warmer climate is less productive. 

Quite the opposite...

“The money laundering scheme is the same type of money laundering scheme that many people have been put in jail for. What you do is you basically buy a company that’s going bankrupt or invest in a company that’s going bankrupt to save the company, and then you run money through it — through criminal enterprises,” she told Breitbart News. “In this case, that was selling out Joe Biden’s power and influence, and they received — it’s going to be hundreds of millions of dollars — it’s going to be a lot of money.”

‘I Was Fired for Setting Academic Standards’

‘I Was Fired for Setting Academic Standards’ - By Kendrick Morales

"Grade inflation is now widespread at American universities. 
Sure, you could study hard to get a degree. 

But at Spelman, where I taught, you could also get a top administrator to change your grades.
When I accepted a tenure-track position in the economics department of Spelman College in the spring of 2021, handing out bogus grades was the last thing on my mind...

RFK Jr. just came out in support of black reparations: | Blaze Media: 

Unfortunately, RFK Jr. leans left on a number of important issues. Not only is he on the climate change bandwagon and an advocate for abortion rights, he’s also recently “come out in favor of reparations,” or at least, “that’s what it sounds like,” says Pat.

The newly declared independent candidate has stated that he intends to “rebuild black infrastructure, like banks and businesses, and direct redress payments or tax credits rather than no-strings cash giveaways,” says Pat, adding that the candidate also claimed that “communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair.”

Gaza Hospital Fiasco Offers A Vivid Example Of Journalism's Rot

Gaza Hospital Fiasco Offers A Vivid Example Of Journalism's Rot BY: DAVID HARSANYI

"When news broke yesterday that Israel had bombed Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, killing patients, children, and staff, every “anti-Zionist,” “critic of Israel,” and most big American journalism outfits ran with the horrible story. 

The tale incited worldwide condemnation and recrimination. 

But it wasn’t true. 

Israel did not hit the hospital. 

The Islamic Jihad did. 

Hundreds of people did not die. 

The missile landed in a parking lot. 

It was Hamas disinformation.

• The media’s disastrous failure on the Gaza hospital bombing story is one of the most vivid and instructive examples of the structural and inherent problems plaguing contemporary journalism. 
• It mirrors many other fiascos of the past decade...

Kids are in the crosshairs of the huge new Disney-TikTok deal | Blaze Media: 

While Disney, TikTok, and the companies’ defenders have insisted against mounting evidence that their core values place children’s well-being first, American parents are increasingly apt to see the mega-corps as more concerned with the safety of brands than the safety of children.

After a bruising political season that saw Disney have to backpedal on its aggressively queer-forward programming and principles, the TikTok partnership reflects Disney’s further difficulty in independently navigating the complexities and challenges of the digital audience space.

A law-breaking society can't support civilized security-----Insurance Premiums Spike As Companies Deny Claims, Pay Out Less

Insurance Premiums Spike As Companies Deny Claims, Pay Out Less - Jathan Sadowski

"...as premiums for everything from home insurance to car insurance skyrocket, more of us are being forced to dwell on the opaque and convoluted insurance industry.

• In the past year, real-estate developers have reported rate increases of up to 50%, and auto insurance has spiked 17%. 
• And the home-insurance crisis is so bad, more people are forgoing coverage each year.

...The direction the industry is heading is to use this flood of data to optimize pricing to the extent that your insurance policy is dynamic and constantly changing. 

For example, insurers are testing new business models like on-demand insurance: Rather than purchase an annual contract for something like car insurance, every time you drive, your insurance would activate, and when you aren't driving, it would deactivate. 

Each of these activations would be treated as a new transaction with a new contract — and a new price.

Driving to get groceries on a sunny weekend morning might cost less than, say, picking up your kids during rush hour on a rainy evening. 

This emerging model is spreading as insurers experiment with new products such as single-day heat insurance that you can activate using a mobile app..

Detroit News fires Charlie LeDuff over c-word insult | Metro Detroit News | Detroit | Detroit Metro Times

• In an interview with Metro Times, LeDuff was defiant and said he has “nothing to apologize for”
  

""Charlie LeDuff, the polarizing Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who has increasingly peddled right-wing outrage on his podcast, was fired from the Detroit News after using a vulgar, coded phrase aimed at Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
LeDuff came under fire over the weekend for telling Nessel in a social media post, “See you next Tuesday,” a backronym for the word “cunt.” 

It’s often written, “C U Next Tuesday.””..
“I’m not apologizing. I have nothing to apologize for. … I stand by it,” LeDuff says. “I said something clever on my own space because I am fucking pissed.”
LeDuff alleged in a Detroit News column last week that Nessel “subtly pressured her staff to close” an investigation into a friend, Traci Kornack, a personal injury lawyer and treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party. 

Kornack was accused of bilking an insurance company out of nearly $50,000 by using the account of an elderly, brain-damaged client...

Watchdog Sues DHS for Hiding Policy to Fly Deported Illegals Back to U.S.

Watchdog Sues DHS for Hiding Policy to Fly Deported Illegals Back to U.S.: 

The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) is suing President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for withholding details about its policy to fly certain illegal aliens back to the United States after they were deported under prior administrations.

On Monday, executives with IRLI announced their lawsuit against DHS, accusing the agency of refusing to disclose details about its policy, announced in July 2021, to allow certain illegal aliens who served in the U.S. Armed Forces to return to the U.S. despite having been deported for committing crimes.

Must, must, must read!----The Stinking Privilege of the Green New Deal

The Stinking Privilege of the Green New Deal - ELIZABETH NICKSON

• Green is a racket, a massive, illegal and unconstitutional theft of wealth by the educated elites, bureaucrats, engineers, consultants and the filthy rich.
• Welcome to the lovely future they've planned for you.

"...This too is a perfect micro-illustration of the “Green Economy” or the the "Green New Deal.” 

It is "green" only for the wealthy or privileged by virtue of education....

Today, life is very green for the hosts of eager young professionals at that conference who have in the intervening years insinuated themselves into every government structure, inserting siphons whereby they literally suck money out of the system in torrents of green.

When I think of that conference, full of bright-eyed (expensively educated) enthusiasts, who were hell-bent on selling their ideas to the wider culture, I think: who the hell brought you up?
Because this is a moral question, a profoundly ethical question.
And everything you do is profoundly immoral....
