President Donald J. Projection Insists Jeffrey Goldberg Is A Con Man

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 4 minutes ago
Yesterday, CNN analyst John Harwood wrote that "From the outset of Donald Trump's presidency, Americans have told pollsters they consider him dishonest. That makes his re-election campaign entirely on-brand. In ways large and small, in targeted advertising and public remarks, Trump has made deceit the hallmark of his bid for a second term... Trailing Biden nationally and in key battleground states, Trump casts doubt on the legitimacy of the election by falsely associating mail-in balloting with rampant fraud. That amplifies what his own Department of Homeland Security calls Russia... more »

But great powers and coastline states, wishing to capture hydrocarbon riches, are today vying for mastery of the sea – or at least its eastern waves. The trouble surfaced last month when a Turkish frigate escorting an oil-and-gas exploration ship collided with a Greek naval vessel. Since then, tempers have flared, wit... more »

The UK's School Curriculum Reveals "Historical Amnesia" When it Comes to Black History

Check out any professional and most college basketball teams. Their starting five, and most of their other 10 players, are black, as is 80% of the NBA.

Mystery: Why Canada is Shipping Oil to Itself Through the Panama Canal

Larry Hughes at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Larry Hughes* *Energy, The Americas* A COVID-19 outbreak in an oil-producing country or on board a tanker could disrupt the flow of crude oil to the Saint John refinery and, consequentially, disrupt the flow of its refined products to most of Atlantic Canada and New England. On July 20, the tanker Cabo de Hornos delivered an estimated 450,000 barrels of crude oil to the Irving Oil refinery’s Canaport storage facilities in Saint John, N.B. What made Cabo de Hornos’s delivery different was that it was the first time crude oil had arrived in Saint John by ship from Alberta. It cam... more »

A Storm Eat My Electricity

KRandle at A Different Perspective - 5 hours ago
For those of you who visit here regularly, you’ll have noticed that I haven’t posted anything in quite a while. On Monday, August 10, my city (and a great part of the state) was hit with what some call an in-land hurricane. These are straight-line winds that reach hurricane speeds. Officially, there were readings of 106 to 112 miles an hour and unofficially, a top speed of 145 mph. The only bright spot here was that the storm didn’t last 24 hours but only about forty or fifty minutes. With winds that high, trees were toppled, cell towers were taken down, roofs blown off houses, a... more »

Fuentes unequivocally denied *The Atlantic*’s report last week, a huge blow to the establishment media narrative. Fuentes personally briefed President Trump on the weather situation that led to the trip being canceled. He is also a close personal confidante of former White Hous... more »

Fuzzyone at 'Nox & Friends - 5 hours ago
It is clear, abundantly clear, that Joe Biden wants to change history. He as much as said this when he stated that a white man did not invent the electric light bulb. Well, for the record, there were many people working on the light bulb at the time of it’s invention. People all over the world. Thomas A. Edison is the one inventor who received a patent for the light bulb. But this is not about the light bulb. It is about changing history. Mr. Biden wants to change your perception of what really happened. It is my belief that … Continue reading →
