"Without anybody noticing, rioting and disorder in the capital is becoming a regular occurrence.
Some is criminal, some religious and others political, but the fact is that violent crowds are now attacking and even killing people without the mainstream media seeming to be very interested."
Seventeen states may be required to follow California’s mandate to ban the sales of almost all gasoline-powered cars by 2035 and to require the purchase of electric vehicles — even though some states are already struggling to meet current electricity demand.
In 2020, just weeks after California suffered rolling blackouts due partly to a lack of energy from renewable sources, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced that he would force drivers to move to electric vehicles and ban gas-powered car sales as of 2035.
CVS said the deal, which it expects to close early next year, will be "meaningfully" accretive to earnings as it tacks on Signify's network of 10,000 physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants to its rapidly-expanding Aetna insurance business and its pharmacy benefits operations.
CVS appears to have outbid both sector rival...UnitedHealth Group (UNH)...as well as Amazon (AMZN)..."
In August of 2018 an airline employee for Alaska Airlines used his security clearance to access and then steal a commercial airplane.
He was able to tow it out of the hanger, board the aircraft, and then powered the aircraft using a preflight checklist and took off from the Seattle Tacoma International Airport and flew the plane for 73 minutes before it crashed and the man was killed.
The link below reveals a recently released video showing how easy it was for the employee to steal the airplane: Video of employee stealing a plane
No getting past the TSA and no advance security checks around the airplane allowed this employee to steal an airplane that could have been used for an act of terror. If this can happen from the 8th largest airport in North America it could happen anywhere. It was the wakeup call airports should have needed to implement far stricter security protocols and yet, little has been done.
The most recent incident of a man stealing a private aircraft with intentions to crash it into a Walmart is yet another reminder of how our focus on aviation security is in the wrong place. While we spend billions of dollars on security for inside the airport (and rightfully so) we spend far less securing aircraft at airports around the country.
Sadly, it would take little for a commercial jet to be stolen and flown from an airport and then used for an act of terror. Even with the best emergency response team (fighter aircraft scrambled) it would take precious time to intercept a stolen aircraft - meaning it could be used to strike a close target before being stopped.
As we approach the anniversary of 9/11 much of the attention remains on how to stop a past attack from taking place again. I wish we were spending more time focusing on how we can stop a future attack, using a different method, before it is too late."
Conservatives on social media reacted to President Joe Biden’s recent divisive political speech, in which he referred to “MAGA Republicans” as a “threat” to “the very soul of this nation,” by sarcastically explaining how they are threats to the nation as well.

The judge had previously signaled her inclination to approve a special master, asking a department lawyer during arguments this month, “What is the harm?”

How Old Bad Ideas Become Wonderful - By Victor Davis Hanson "Bad and bankrupt ideas, protocols, and ideologies—like McCarthyism, communism, various cults, or fascism—resurface not because of their intrinsic or lasting value or record of success, but because
civilizations become less vigilant and allow human vanities, ignorance, arrogance, and evil to reassert themselves.
Joe McCarthy Is Back
Our Tail Gunner Joe (of semi-truck driving expertise and brilliant legal training fame) in a single week smeared roughly half the country as un-American “semi-fascists.”
Then in one of the creepiest speeches and background sets in American political history, Joe Biden railed that “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
...All that was missing from the rant was Biden waving to the crowd a purported list of names of prominent MAGA threats to our collective soul and screaming, “I have here in my hand a list of 205 members of the MAGA Party!” Yet Biden never quite told us what was subversive about the “MAGA Scare” or wanting to “Make America Great Again.”..."
Presidential historian Jon Meacham was one of the architects behind President Joe Biden’s speech labeling MAGA Republicans a “threat” to America.
On Saturday, an article authored by three Politico reporters stated that Meacham helped frame the speech, which developed over the past three weeks. Meacham has previously worked with Biden on speeches, including in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, as the New York Times previously noted.
"A few days ago, US officials announced that it was Iran, not America, that had given up core demands. They lie. Iran has not given up on anything essential. On the contrary, Iran has obtained the essential demands it wants." — Sayed Zahra, deputy editor of Bahrain's Akhbar Al-Khaleej, August 31, 2022.
"[T]he most dangerous concession made by the US was to waive the inclusion of Iran's expansionist terrorist role in the region, its threats to the security and stability of Arab countries, the terrorist subversive role that Iran's proxy militias play in the Arab countries, and the issue of the Iranian missile program." — Sayed Zahra, Akhbar Al-Khaleej, August 31, 2022.
"He [Obama] did not hide his hatred of Arabs and his admiration for Iran. What Biden is doing today is following the same path, with full conviction on his part." — Sayed Zahra, Akhbar Al-Khaleej, August 31, 2022..."
Conservatives were vindicated last week when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg openly told Joe Rogan what conservatives already knew: Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop story precisely because of the FBI.
