A California judge ruled late Friday that Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, overstepped his legal authority when he mandated that every legal California voter receive a mail-in ballot for the general election.
'They're Following and Chasing Us': Million MAGA March Protesters Chant 'Fake News' at MSNBC Reporter Amid Broadcast
Trump Rally Crowd Boos Fox News
"Protesters at Saturday's "Million MAGA March" in Washington, D.C. chanted "fake news" during a report on the event by MSNBC's Ellison Barber. ..."The crowd here is chanting 'fake news, fake news.' Not fans of ours as you can tell—which is fine, as long as they give us a little bit of space," she added.
"It's hostile here, at least for us. They're following us and chasing us as we walk further back."
"ACTUAL TERRORISM: Law Firm’s Withdrawal Reflects Chilling Reality.“Porter Wright is a mid-sized law firm with offices in eight cities across the country. But apparently it lacked the courage to stand up against the Twitter mob. The ‘Lincoln Project’ doxxed the two Porter Wright lawyers who signed the Pennsylvania complaint, tweeting their pictures, addresses and telephone numbers, and encouraging leftists to harass them.”
Remember, the alleged goal of the “Lincoln Project” is to return America to its pre-Trump decency. They should instead call themselves the McCarthy Project.
...The thing is, like most institutions in America, big law firms are run by people who care more about the opinions of their social peer group than about their institutional or civic responsibilities. Unfortunately, not only are the people who run most of our institutions garbage, but so are the peer groups they let guide them.
Specifically these Antifa thugs. As the Million MAGA March for Stop the Steal was ending today in D.C., leftist counter-protesters decided to attack older individuals and women after the majority of people had left. You want a picture of the divide in America right now?
You want to have a visual to show people the difference between what a Biden vote gets you versus a Trump vote?
This is it.
Forget the media.
Forget the congressional battles.
I don't care what Pelosi or AOC says right now.
Let's forget them entirely for the moment. Andy Ngo - the reporter who has been dealing with Antifa for years in Portland - assembled THIS visual of the paths before us, America...Read/view all! [Warning: Many Graphic Videos]
Overall, however, Californians seem to approve of the draconian measures imposed by California's government, even though they have not prevented California from experiencing one of the highest infection rates in the country. As of September, Newsom enjoyed a 64 percent approval rating in California, according to at least one poll.
The journalist Matthew Yglesias, a co-founder of Vox, announced today that he is leaving that publication for the paid-newsletter platform Substack, so that he can enjoy more editorial independence.
...Like Andrew Sullivan, who joined Substack afterparting ways with New York magazine, and Glenn Greenwald, who joined Substack afterresigning from The Intercept, which he co-founded, Yglesias felt that he could no longer speak his mind without riling his colleagues...
Safetyism claims yet another scalp, just as it did during the Tom Cotton freakout at the New York Times this past summer, and at the Atlantic (where the above article appears), whose crybully staffers suffered a collective meltdown when Kevin Williamson was hired to write there.--Posted byEd Driscoll...Read all!
Could you repeat that? Fixing the 'replication crisis' in biomedical research has become top priority | Hub
When research can't be reproduced
"Biomedical research illuminates the world and saves lives.
It's also messy, tedious, and often frustrating.
...But recent years have seen a nationwide rise in highly publicized studies that proved problematic.
The issue became clear in 2011, when the pharmaceutical company Bayer conducted its own reproducibility tests on 67 published experiments and failed to get similar results on 53.
Bayer's inability to reproduce potentially lifesaving research shook the scientific world...Read all.
THE GRIFTERS: Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, zero on research. FTA - "The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired. The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings."....
"...The dramatic spread of COVID-19 has disrupted lives, livelihoods, communities and businesses worldwide.
All stakeholders, especially global business, must urgently come together to minimize its impact on public health and limit its potential for further disruption to lives and economies around the world.
But the sum of many individual actions will not add up to a sufficient response.
Only coordinated action by business, combined with global, multistakeholder cooperation – at exceptional scale and speed – can potentially mitigate the risk and impact of this unprecedented crisis...Read all!
"I've retrieved all ofThe New York Times' 2020 presidential datasets, which have a time-series of voting data from a company calledEdison Research. Here, for instance, isPennsylvania's.
What I found is pretty fascinating, especially in Pennsylvania.
As just one example, here is a graph depicting the shifts in votes starting on election day. The X-axis represents the change in votes (positive values represent shifts for Trump, negative values represent shifts for Biden.
May I call your attention to the differences between the left and the right sides of the graph?
Please note that after about 23:00 hours on 11/4/20 Zulu, virtually all vote swings went for Biden.
But you need to see the data. Below is a spreadsheet with the time-series...Read all!
"The United States Energy Information Administration is a national treasure!
This morning, I was poking around in the latest Monthly Energy Review and I downloaded Table 1.1 Primary energy overview.
It tabulates monthly and annual US primary energy production and consumption since 1949.
I plotted up the primary energy consumption.
Figure 1. US primary energy consumption (1949-2019). EIA “Renewable energy” includes hydroelectric, wind and solar power. A quick look at this graph should tell anyone with at least two functioning synapses in their brain (the typical brain has trillions of synapses) that this is the dumbest thing ever said:
Democrat Joe Biden’s remark that he would “transition” away from oil in the U.S. in favor of renewable energy drew quick attention Thursday night from President Donald Trump, who saw it as a boon to his election chances in key states.
“I would transition away from the oil industry, yes,” Biden said in the presidential debate’s closing minutes under peppering from Trump. “The oil industry pollutes, significantly. … It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.”
