homeless crisis in bay area - TheBlaze

homeless crisis in bay area - TheBlaze: 

Last year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) actually invited more homeless people to come from other states to pursue "new beginnings" in the Golden State, adding that Californians "have a responsibility to accommodate" these newcomers. Well, it looks like he meant this literally, as according to the Mercury News, government programs and nonprofits are now asking Bay Area property owners to help accommodate the area's nearly 30,000 homeless individuals. Homeless people have taken the governor up on his offer, moving to the Bay Area to take advantage of $820 per month welfare and food stamp provisions as well as notoriously lax law enforcement.

Jordan Peterson Sends Passionate Message to Freedom Convoy: You've Changed the World, But What Now? - Louder With Crowder

Jordan Peterson Sends Passionate Message to Freedom Convoy: You've Changed the World, But What Now? - Louder With Crowder: 

"I'd like to commend all of you for your diligence and work, on accomplishing what you have accomplished under trying conditions, and also for keeping your heads in a way that's been a model for the entire world. You've been able to remain peaceful. You haven't taken the bait. You haven't responded with violence to quite remarkable denigration and provocation. That's a sign of tremendous discipline and care." As the denigration and provocation came from liberals and the media (but I repeat myself), not only did the protesters NOT take the bait but people who didn't start out as supporters were awakened to how the left and the media (again, repeating myself) actually operate. The Freedom Convoy has been a huge success so far. Where it goes from here, the protesters have effected change in countries outside of Canada as well. Take a bow. Tell Trudeau what orifice he can stick his emergency powers.

This was a political operation to misdirect Americans: Sen. Johnson

Adams gave her wokeapalooza rant at the Oxford Union. Some of the worst/best of Adam’s codswallop are:

• “Meat-eaters order leg of lamb, not a baby lamb’s leg [and] your hamburger comes with a dose of misogyny.”
•  “The assumption that the best protein comes from corpses is a racist belief.”
• “White supremacists weaponized eating meat, eggs, and dairy, images of milk drinking white men, of platters groaning with meat and the baiting of liberal men as so-called soy-boys are all part of the neo-Nazi messaging.”

Damning statements from Hillary Clinton's campaign resurface after explosive filing from John Durham - TheBlaze: 

Kash Patel, who worked as the chief investigator on the Trump-Russia probe for the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News that Durham's filing shows that lawyers associated with Clinton's campaign worked to "infiltrate" Trump Tower and shows that "the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia."

Why Was Hillary Spying On A POTUS? - by Mark Wauck

Why Was Hillary Spying On A POTUS? - by Mark Wauck

• Over the last couple of days I’ve maintained that the only logical reason why Hillary—via Joffe and his tech guys and Sussmann fronting for the op to the CIA—was spying on an actual President of the United States was to drive President Donald J. Trump from office. 
• The goal of the op was to create a constitutional crisis that called into question the validity of Election 2016. 
• That’s why Sussmann was trying to convince the CIA that Trump was somehow communicating with Russians—the Russian angle, implying espionage against the US by a POTUS, was key to ginning the crisis up to the necessary degree of hysteria. 

Durham specifically notes in his latest filing that, in effect, it was all BS.

No, the Revolution Isn’t Over

• None of the fundamental drivers of “Wokeness” have relented

1. One does not simply walk away from religious beliefs. What is called “Wokeness” – or the “Successor Ideology,” or the “New Faith,” or what have you...rests on a series of what are ultimately metaphysical beliefs...In other words, “Wokeness” is much more than just a political program. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, because…

2. The void of meaning still hasn’t been filled....Has there been some kind of genuine, organized religious revival? Has decadent nihilism stopped being the defining sentiment of the age? Did the young even become hyper-nationalists or revolutionary Marxist class-warriors instead? Have they found an alternative passionate heroic narrative to act out in some new Davos slide deck? No. And in fact, meanwhile, it also seems that…Read all!!
