Biden Thinks He Needs to Dumb Down Inflation for Americans - Louder With Crowder:
Biden's speech wasn't a total waste. Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, a favorite of ours here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website, found one thing the president said that was useful. It was the part where the president didn't take any responsibility and blamed Americans for being too distracted to understand the issue. Rep. Donalds believes this clip should be played on a loop every day between now and November 8th.

California's Long Hot Summer—and Ours Clarice Feldman link"Adding to supply shortages on everything from silicon chips for cars and household appliances to food, including baby food, this summer promises an exceptionally miserable shortage—electricity in California, and other things elsewhere in the country.
California energy officials warned that the state lacks sufficient capacity to meet electric demand if other extreme events—perfectly predictable ones by the way—like heatwaves, and wild fires, and drought –occur.
...It’s idiotic policies,
...It’s idiotic policies,
- not least of which is retiring power plants before they can be replaced by "renewables" or conventional energy.
- Of course, the most idiotic of all policies is the notion that depriving people of needed energy will make it possible to control the climate which in their fantasy world is heating up at an unprecedented and terrifying rate because of CO2 emissions.
...And they’ll be hard pressed to find water to drink, wash in, or grow food with because of similarly nonsensical water policies which are diminishing hydro electrical generation..."

"...According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses during the first year of the pandemic.
That’s double the figure from 2015 and, as The New York Times notes, more than were killed in car crashes and gun fatalities combined.
- ...If 10 kilos of fentanyl are interdicted, it’s relatively easy for a hard-to-detect lab in Mexico to produce more and get it into the United States.
By way of comparison, in 2016, Americans used 47 metric tons of heroin and 145 metric tons of cocaine.
- ...Most fentanyl comes across the Southwestern border, and we can do more try to interdict the supply. We need to push China and India to crack down on the manufacture and export of precursor chemicals that feed the Mexican labs..."

Elon Musk says he would end Twitter ban on Trump, calls it 'morally wrong' and 'flat out stupid' - TheBlaze:
Musk made the comments while being interviewed on FT Live's "Future of the Car" conference.
"Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts," said Musk. "I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump. I think that was a mistake, because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice."

- Americans still can’t get out as restrictions on women increase
- ...The new burqa decree requires women to cover everything but their eyes outside the home. If a woman’s face is seen in public, her male “guardian” could face a fine and jail time. If an uncovered woman has relatives who work for the government, they could lose their jobs. Parks are now segregated by sex. Women can no longer go to school or travel on planes or taxis without a male companion. They face arrest and imprisonment for violations.
But, he added, “somewhat ironically, you might say, there is in the country at large greater stability and relative peace.”..."

- Consider the case of Michael Williams, who spent almost a year in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Williams was behind the wheel when a passing car fired at his vehicle, killing his 25-year-old passenger Safarian Herring, who had hitched a ride. Despite the fact that Williams had no motive, there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, no gun was found in the car, and Williams himself drove Herring to the hospital, police charged the 65-year-old man with first-degree murder based on ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection program that had picked up a loud bang on its network of surveillance microphones and triangulated the noise to correspond with a noiseless security video showing Williams’ car driving through an intersection. The case was eventually dismissed for lack of evidence..."

Internal CDC docs on the agency's false Covid vaccine claims link
- Internal documents at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) ignited quite the firestorm when he contacted the agency to point out serious Covid vaccine disinformation that their top officials and vaccine scientists had signed off on.
- I reported on the story last year after Massie produced audio recordings of CDC officials and scientists admitting the error to him, yet continued to publicly make the false claim:
- that original studies proved Covid vaccines helped people who’d already had Covid. They didn’t.
