Given the trajectory being travelled by the Biden administration, emphasizing the need for the sternest measures possible to combat “disinformation,” and considering the political headwinds bearing down on Democrats as the country closes in on the November elections, it is unlikely either the U.S. House or Senate will take steps before then to rein in this latest agency, which even some Democrats have compared to George Orwell’s dystopian “Ministry of Truth” from “1984.”
Lori Lightfoot Issues "Call To Arms" Over SCOTUS - Victory Girls Blog link "Never let a crisis go to waste, a former Chicago mayor once said.
Current Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot is ready to do the same. However, Lori Lightfoot doesn’t sound like she’s creating a call to action.
She actually says “call to arms.”
Hmmmm, kinda sounds insurrectiony, doesn’t it? Just what is the mayor trying to say here?

Two smartly dressed women, looking like pillars of the community, like members of the League of Women Voters.
Imagine their faces when we were abruptly told class was canceled.
“We have enough volunteers,” barked a training supervisor from the office of the Detroit Clerk. “We are no longer accepting people to count absentee ballots on Election Day.”
“I didn't get no call,” wheezed the man with the cane, slumped in a chair and breathing laboriously.
“I've been doing this 20 years, and I didn't get no call. I had to pay to get here.”
The cancellation of class, of course, flew in the face of everything the public is still being told about this election.
Do your duty. Volunteer ($600 a day).
Come to the TCF Center to count!
As of this writing, classes are still being conducted, and calls for volunteers are still going out by way of social media.
“This have something to do with me being here?”
I asked a supervisor, pulling down my mask, assuming he knew me from TV news.
“Yeah, we don't want you here,” he said.
I couldn't be sure if he was serious until he asked: “Who put you up to this?”...Read all!

''It’s now been 12 days since the Department of Homeland Security announced what amounts to an Orwellian attempt at muzzling free speech, a disinformation board that will ramp up in the midst of an important midterm election year,'' the news outlet's article by Scott Whitlock declared Monday.
''But since April 27, the morning and evening newscasts have stayed silent on the DHS board. They have also been quiet on the background of Nina Jankowicz, the partisan, hard-left Democrat who is to run it.''
"WILL IT TAKE ANOTHER 90 YEARS? Back in February, Prof. Glenn linked here to a New York Post Op/Ed wherein it was raised (quite rightly, IMHO) that The New York Times ought to give back the Pulitzer Prize awarded them for their breathtaking, page-turning and epically false reporting on “Russiagate”, where the NYP pointed out:
“With the entire Russiagate affair exposed as a Clinton campaign fabrication, it’s the clear duty of The Washington Post and New York Times to give back the Pulitzers they won for “reporting” the fake news...

The book begins with a discussion of skin tones and then shows an illustration of human skulls encased in glass, sitting on shelves along with an elaborate theory that blames white people for creating the concept of race.
The book states, “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race. They sorted people by skin color and said that white people were better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else.”
The average hourly earnings for fall employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by only 0.3% in April. This is lower than what was expected by economists, and according to data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics this past Fredy, nominal earnings have increased 5.5% on an annual basis.

"During an appearance on CNN, FDA chief Dr. Robert Califf asserted that the leading cause of death in the United States is online “misinformation.”
Yes, really. Califf spoke about his remarks during an interview with CNN’s Pamela Brown, which were originally made at a health conference in Texas last month when he said online misinformation was“now our leading cause of death.” After admitting that there was “no way to quantify this,” before mentioning heart disease and cancer (actual killers), Califf went on to bolster the claim anyway.
...Califf said that anti-virals and vaccinations meant “almost no one in this country should be dying from COVID,” before going on to explain that there was also a “reduction in life expectancy from common diseases like heart disease.”...
"I’m old enough to remember when kids’ breakfast cereal was a fun way to start the morning — especially if you were lucky enough to get a prize with your sugary treat! Remember some of these?
