Bold MOVE, Cotton! John Harwood dragged for claiming this is what’s REALLY ‘dangerous and disturbing’ about the FBI’s Trump raid

Bold MOVE, Cotton! John Harwood dragged for claiming this is what’s REALLY ‘dangerous and disturbing’ about the FBI’s Trump raid
Yeah, we know you know that we knew that you’d know this is the way people like John Harwood would comment on the FBI’s raid of Trump’s home. But it’s just so damn annoying.
And predictable. And sad. Case in point:

It’s not the actual raid on a now-citizen that’s disturbing and dangerous. 
No no, it’s the people who are angry about it … they’re the real problem..."

  • DOCUMENTING EARTH CHANGES DURING THE NEXT GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM
"Among the long list or scientific papers suggesting that a solar-driven spell of global cooling is on the cards, Dr Theodor Landscheidt’s ‘New Little ICE Age Instead of Global Warming?‘ probably has the claim of priority.
Published in 2003, just a year before his death, Landscheidt’s research is standing the test of time, and is still largely on course to be proved correct.

...Walgreens spokesman said..."The plaintiff's attempt to resolve the opioid crisis with an unprecedented expansion of public nuisance law is misguided and unsustainable..."

Michigan and Ohio charter schools sue Biden admin's Department of Education - TheBlaze

Michigan and Ohio charter schools sue Biden admin's Department of Education - TheBlaze

On Monday, the Michigan Association of Public School Academies and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute of Ohio filed a complaint against the Biden administration's U.S. Department of Education. The charter school coalition alleged that the DOE illegally issued a rule that imposes new criteria charter schools must meet to secure grant funding. On July 6, the Department of Education published the new rule in the Federal Register, undermining the existing law. The complaint alleged that the DOE intentionally set new requirements that are designed to decrease the number of charter school programs across the United States.

China's Newest Threat to Western Civilization Could Be In Your Home Right Now
"...However, the countries seemed to have overlooked the tiny components made by Chinese companies in devices connected by the Internet of Things, the Financial Times reports.
IoT products fitted with data-transmitting sensors and connected over WiFi networks have evolved from niche industrial applications to being omnipresent in homes, offices, and some vehicles and becoming a critical component of national infrastructure.
However, China could reportedly exploit the same data from IoT devices to influence, pressure, or threaten an adversary, company, or individual.
  • Three Chinese manufacturers hold over 50% of the global market share of cellular IoT modules. 
...Recently, CISA, the U.S. cyber security agency, warned of critical vulnerabilities in Chinese-made GPS-enabled IoT devices in cars and motorcycles..."

Trans activists want archeologists to stop identifying skeletons as male or female
"We’ve known for some time now that transgender activism has been making a mess of the sciences, particularly in medicine. 
Thousands of years of scientific research is being swept away as medical organizations like the American Medical Association buy into the bizarre notion that people can simply “decide” whether they are male or female. 
But it’s not just the field of medicine that’s feeling the impact. 
Would you have guessed that archeologists and anthropologists are coming under the same sort of pressure as well?..."

Mike Lee slams Democrats for spending $740 billion and raising taxes amid recession: 'Appalling' - TheBlaze

"This is a terrible bill. Look, they call it the Inflation Reduction Act. This is the most Orwellian name I think I've seen in the United States Senate in the 12 years that I've been here," Lee said. He continued, "Look at what they're doing. They're increasing spending and they're raising taxes while we're in the middle of a recession and while we're in the middle of rampant inflation. In my home state of Utah, people are experiencing nearly 15% inflation relative to last year.

Star marine ecologist committed misconduct, university says | Science | AAAS
"A major controversy in marine biology took a new twist last week when the University of Delaware (UD) found one of its star scientists guilty of research misconduct. 
The university has confirmed to Science that it has accepted an investigative panel’s conclusion that marine ecologist Danielle Dixson committed fabrication and falsification in work on fish behavior and coral reefs. 
...The investigative panel’s draft report, which Science’s News team has seen in heavily redacted form, paints a damning picture of Dixson’s scientific work, which included many studies that appeared to show Earth’s rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can have dramatic effects on fish behavior and ecology. 
“The Committee was repeatedly struck by a serial pattern of sloppiness, poor recordkeeping, copying and pasting within spreadsheets, errors within many papers under investigation, and deviation from established animal ethics protocols,” wrote the panel, made up of three UD researchers..."

Chris Christie shuts down ABC News anchors with reality check when they try to defend Biden: 'This is ridiculous' - TheBlaze

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll shows that 69% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse. The poll also found that Biden's job approval is under water by double digits, 62% disapproval to 37% approval. During the panel portion of Sunday's show, Stephanopoulos tried to soften the reality of the brutal poll numbers after Christie explained that inflation and a contracting economy are realities the White House cannot easily explain away.

They also note that inflation-adjusted weekly pay is “down for a record 16th consecutive month.”

Senate Democrats adopted 'Don't test, don't tell' COVID policy to rush through inflation bill: 'You can bring your ventilator and still vote' - TheBlaze

Senate Democrats adopted 'Don't test, don't tell' COVID policy to rush through inflation bill: 'You can bring your ventilator and still vote' - TheBlaze

The Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, unofficially adopted a "Don't test, don't tell" COVID-19 policy ahead of last weekend's marathon session that resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act being passed.

"They’re not going to delay it if a member has gotten COVID," a top Senate aide told Puck News before the vote. "Counterparts are saying they’re not going to test anymore. It’s not an official mandate but we all know we’re not letting Covid get in the way. The deal is happening. Less testing, just wear masks and get it done."

Goon government!-----Notes on the Trump raid | Power Line

Notes on the Trump raid | Power Line
  • ...Based on his own prosecutorial experience, Andrew McCarthy emphasizes that the raid was a pretext for seizing documents that may bear on the interest of the Biden Department of Justice in prosecuting Trump for events related to Jan. 6. The pretext is all.
  • The Attorney General and the FBI are not talking in public. You see, they are involved in an ongoing investigation. Confidentiality is sacred.
  • “[M]ultiple people familiar with the investigation” nevertheless spoke with the three New York Times reporters who wrote up the raid. Funny how that works...

...We saw the FBI agents holding the fort down outside Mar-a-Lago with big weapons. 
It was sickening. 
  • Christopher Wray should be sent packing and the FBI should be dissolved and reconstituted. It has become an unaccountable and politically corrupt organization..."

Conservatives sound off after Trump says FBI raided Mar-A-Lago - TheBlaze

Republican politicians and conservative commentators sounded off on Monday after former President Donald Trump released a statement saying that the FBI had raided Mar-A-Lago. "The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime's political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared in a tweet.
