The Dems' 'vote by mail' fraud fest
Stephen Kruiser: ... During the Obama years, I used to say that any GOP candidate had to make sure that he or she was “outside the margin of ACORN.” I’ve updated that to “outside the margin of magic mail-in ballots.” I will never back away from my contention that vote-by-mail is a fraud-fest. The fact that the Democrats keep trying to make it universal and not based on preference or need is all the proof any sane person should require to come to that conclusion. Democrats used to say that there was “no voter fraud.” They’ve recently begun saying that there is no “widespread vot... read more

Ukraine arms smuggled to black market?
Zero Hedge: In April the EU's top law enforcement agency Europol warned that smuggling of weapons from the Ukrainian battlefield to the black market outside the warzone had likely already begun. For five months the West, especially the US and UK, has been pumping more and more weapons into the conflict. There's also the concern that "criminal gangs" will continue using them long after the war ends. US defense officials months ago also admitted they had "almost zero" ability to track weapons they hand out to Ukrainian forces. The Pentagon inspector General also recently admitted ... read more
Electric Vehicles A Tool Of Tyranny
Originally posted on PA Pundits - International: By Duggan Flanakin ~ First, don’t blame the vehicle. It is a tool that might be just what Los Angeles needs to cope with inversions. Electric vehicles are also very good as airport shuttles and for other locations where short, repetitive routes are the primary use. Some may even be fun to… read more
The other side of climate ‘lawfare’: Maine hydropower project sparked a $100m ‘hoohah’

New San Francisco DA cleans house
NY Post: San Francisco’s no-nonsense new district attorney is cleaning house — as she reportedly laid off 15 staffers inherited from her booted, woke predecessor. The firings Friday by Brooke Jenkins come nearly two weeks after she was appointed district attorney by Mayor London Breed following the recall of her much-maligned predecessor Chesa Boudin, according to SFGATE.com. “Today, I made difficult, but important changes to my management team and staff that will help advance my vision to restore a sense of safety in San Francisco by holding serious and repeat offenders accoun... read more

A jury in a Dallas federal district court handed down the verdict, ruling Charlene Carter had been fired for her religious stance on abortion, which she shared to social media, and that her termination was in violation of her right to advocate against her union.

Evo Morales: UK Role In Coup That Ousted Him
When Evo Morales, Bolivia’s first indigenous president, was overthrown in a British-backed coup in November 2019, many believed his life was in danger. Latin America’s history is littered with liberation leaders cut down by vengeful imperial powers. Legendary resistance leader Túpac Katari, like Morales from the Aymara indigenous group, had his limbs tied to four horses by the Spanish before they bolted and he was ripped apart in 1781. Some 238 years later, Bolivia’s self-declared “interim president,” Jeanine Áñez, appeared in Congress days after the coup against Morales brandishi... read more
Biden The Warmonger Gets Played By The Saudis
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — On the second day of his trip to Saudi Arabia, President Joe Biden met with the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates—along with Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq to discuss security issues, but particularly to push for a united front against Iran. Biden has spent much of his trip to the Middle East reinforcing the regional policies of his predecessor, Donald Trump, rather than implementing the policies on which he campaigned for president. And he is rightly taking heat for his meetings... read more
‘Jerusalem Declaration’: Imperialism, Zionism And Settler Colonialism
Below are key points identified by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network in responding to the Biden-Lapid Declaration (“The U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Joint Declaration”) issued on Thursday, 14 July 2022. While the declaration largely holds nothing new, it once again reveals the joint commitment to imperialism and Zionism that is responsible for the past 75 years of colonization in Palestine. Imperialism here means more arms, more support and more money for Israel. It means Phantom jets, atomic bomb secrets, and the building of an economy capable of facing the pe... read more
Ghost Stories Of Capitalism: Watching The Shutters Of Austerity Close
By the end of the 1970s,U.S. capitalism entered its neoliberal phase where austerity and privatization reigned supreme. Federal agencies such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were reduced to near non-existence. Welfare was eradicated all together in 1996 and tens of thousands of public housing units were demolished or privatized under the Bill Clinton administration. CAP agencies either shut their doors permanently or offered only the services that were supported by a mixture of private philanthropy and meagre government subsidy. It was out of this environm... read more

Energy: The Recession Trigger?
There is confusion among mainstream economists and policy-makers on whether the major economies are heading for a recession, or are already in a recession; or will avoid one altogether. The majority view, at least in the US, is the latter. This optimistic view argues that, while inflation rates are high, they will start to fall over the next year, enabling the Federal Reserve to avoid hiking its policy interest rates too much to the point where it could restrict investment and spending. At the same time, the US unemployment rate is very low and the ‘labour market’ remains stron... read more

Ukraine peace talks in the cards?
Finance ministers are the pangolins in the world of international diplomacy, solitary animals and predatory, unlike foreign ministers who are like glowworms, mesmerising and gorgeous animals that create light through their tail. While the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken attending G20 foreign ministers meeting in Bali a week ago staged a dramatic walkout when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rose to speak, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen simply sat through the speech by Russian minister Anton Siluanov at the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank chiefs that beg... read more

It is July 20, 1969. The Apollo 11 manned space mission lands on our Moon, and a few hours later, Neil Armstrong takes his first steps on the lunar surface, filling the world with amazement and admiration. With this accomplishment emerges the deep emotion of feeling an intimate union with an Earth that impels us to love and protect it, the home of all the humans we have known and, in all probability, will know. Four years earlier, Aleksei Leonov, the Russian astronaut, made the first spacewalk in history, expressing that the Earth is “our home, small, blue and touchingly lonely,” ... read more
Lumumba’s Politics Are What Really Need To Return
After sixty-one years, the gold tooth of the assassinated Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba has been returned to his family and laid to rest. It is the only part of him that remains. After his brutal murder in 1961, Lumumba’s tooth was pocketed by a Belgian police officer and later held captive by the Belgian government. Its repatriation was preceded by a grotesque ‘colonial guilt’ show, in which Belgian King Phillipe expressed his ‘deepest regrets for those wounds of the past’. The King of the Belgians did not go so far as to formally apologize, nor did he offer repa... read more
Why Biodiversity Also Needs Protection Below The Ground
We know more than ever about the abundance of life in the soil. Now we have to step up to save it. Look down. You may not see the soil beneath your feet as teeming with life, but it is. Better scientific tools are helping us understand that dirt isn’t just dirt. Life in the soil includes microbes like bacteria and fungi; invertebrates such as earthworms and nematodes; plant roots; and even mammals like gophers and badgers who spend part of their time below ground. It’s commonly said that a quarter of all the planet’s biodiversity lives in the soil, but that’s likely a vast unders... read more

The Jan. 6 committees false accusations against Trump
Andrew McCarthy: The January 6 committee seemed to hit the point of diminishing returns this week. The Democrat-controlled panel is straining to establish that its target, former president Donald Trump, is not just morally and politically but criminally culpable for the deadly Capitol riot, but it can’t make the case. Its evidence of criminal intent is too weak, and its tactic of conflating Trump’s state of mind with the unhinged words of extremists who reacted to his rhetoric is sleight-of-hand. Plus, Trump has an intent defense: He was trying to ratchet up political pressure o... read more

Henry Cuellar (D-TX) said that “in the southern part of the area from Laredo down to the valley,” only 30% of Border Patrol agents are actually on the border because the rest are doing processing and administrative work, and that at a time when “we have larger amounts of drugs coming in, more people coming in, we have a lesser number of Border Patrol agents doing their work.” Cuellar said the key question is “how do we cooperate with the state and the local governments and not just work separat... read more
Not True Enough
Althia Raj writes that there are several theories circulating about why Patrick Brown was booted out of the Conservative leadership race: Former NDP leader Thomas Mulcair claimed this week that former prime minister Stephen Harper’s people orchestrated Brown’s defenestration to keep their Conservative party “ideologically pure” and kill any chance Jean Charest had of becoming its leader. “Based on the single, untested word of a longtime party operative, Brown was given the heave-ho,” wrote Mulcair, who was a Charest cabinet minister in Quebec’s National Assembly. The party, based... read more

Another Gaffe From President Biden On His Middle East Trip
*NYPost:** Biden points to ‘selfishness’ of American troops in Saudi speech gaffe* Gaffe-prone President Biden evoked winces from his entourage Saturday as he spoke of the “selfishness” of American troops on the final day of his trip to the Middle East. “For the first time since 9/11, an American President is visiting this region without American troops being engaged in combat — in a combat mission in the region,” Biden said during a speech to the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. “We’ll always honor the bravery and selfishness — selflessness ... read more

Russia renews Ukraine offensive
ISW: The Russian Defense Ministry announced that the Russian operational pause has concluded on July 16, confirming ISW’s July 15 assessment.[1] Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu ordered Southern Group Commander General of the Army Sergey Surovikin and Central Group Commander Colonel General Alexander Lapin to increase offensive operations on all axes on July 16, but the tempo of the resuming Russian offensive will likely fluctuate or stutter over the coming days.[2] Russian forces conducted fewer ground assaults on all axes on July 16 than on July 15, but maintained increas... read more

Media turns against Biden?
Elizabeth Stauffer: Legacy media have been moving away from the practice of journalism for years, and once Donald Trump arrived on the scene, they abandoned it altogether. The media collectively embraced activism, and the New York Times has led the way. The extraordinary power of the New York Times to not only influence events but to shape them cannot be denied. Without question, the apex predator in the media world today, it can set any narrative, no matter the facts. And when the Democratic Party has a message to get out, they turn to the Gray Lady to do their bidding. Last m... read more

Tell Me How You Vote, Without Writing A Big Red “L” On Your Forehead
Odd experience last night. Was with some people who were talking to another person. One of the people in our group made a political comment the other person didn’t agree with. So the person abruptly put on a mask. Not for any health reason, but as a statement, a snub, a rebuff — Walter Kirn… Continue reading → read more

Mexico's cheap gas
Washington Examiner Editorial: ... On average, gas is over $1 a gallon cheaper in Mexico ($3.12) than it is in the U.S. ($4.60). The gap is even larger between Mexico and Democrat-controlled states such as California ($5.99). “We have decided that it was necessary for us to allow Americans who live close to the border to go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices,” Lopez Obrador told Biden. “And right now, a lot of drivers, a lot of Americans are going to Mexico to get their gasoline.” Mexico’s oil industry is far from perfect. It was nationalized into one go... read more

Jill says things not going Joe's way
Breitbart: First lady Jill Biden complained in front of donors in Nantucket on Saturday, while delivering a speech at a fundraiser. Speaking about her husband, President Joe Biden, the first lady appeared saddened by what was happening to the world during his presidency. “He had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around, he had to address the problems of the moment,” she said. Biden spoke to about two dozen guests at the fundraiser for the Democrat National Committee, setting aside her prepared remarks for a frank discussion. “He’s jus... read more

BA.5 doesn’t care that you just had Covid-19
[image: People crowd onto a ferry boat going from Toronto to Centre Island at the ferry terminal in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 08, 2022.] Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising as the BA.5 subvariant of omicron takes root. | Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto via Getty Images The omicron subvariant is tuned to evade immunity, even from previous omicron infections. The pattern has become all too familiar: A new version of the SARS-CoV-2 virus emerges and begins to dominate new Covid-19 cases, until it’s replaced by an even more contagious version of the virus.

Another of Trudeau’s Bio-Fascist Bureaucrats on Display
When people wonder how the whole Nazi Germany “machine” was able to operate as efficiently as it did, many historians have pointed towards the legion of bureaucrats who faithfully “followed orders” without ever questioning any of them. Though not to the same degree yet, do you think this small-minded passive aggressive bureaucrat at Toronto’s Pearson… Continue reading → read more

Another Episode of “You Can’t Make This Sh*t up Because Left-Wing Loons Already Did”. #259
RS - Given the left’s hellbent drive to label virtually everything in — and about —America as “racist,” this nutjob story should come as no surprise to anyone. My fellow Americans: some of the names we give our dogs are racist. Who knew? According to a *Social Psychology Quarterly study*, a disparity in adoption times for dogs exists based on “racial associations” with the names we give America’s favorite pets. Bottom line? Dogs with “white-sounding” names are more quickly adopted than dogs with black- or Hispanic-sounding names. Social Psychology Quarterly asks, “almost” as if th... read more
Sunday morning music
This morning we remember a singer who wasn't quite a one-hit wonder, but was forever defined by his first big hit. Subsequent songs (of which there were many) never rose to the same height of popularity, which I think is a pity, because they're all enjoyable in their own way. Peter Sarsted was born in India, but lived most of his adult life in Britain. There's a certain mental attitude in a lot of Anglo-Indians I've met, a sense of the mystical in the midst of everyday life, and I think that shows through Sarsted's music. He never wrote plain pop music, but often added an in... read more
