How Canada's medical suicide benefits socialized medicine - TheBlaze

"In Canada, the standard of care for knee replacement surgery is 182 days," she said. "However, you can seek medical assistance in dying for the chronic pain you have because of your knee on the very same day you ask for it. That's because, in Canada, you don't have to be terminally ill. You just have to be chronically ill and dissatisfied with the level of care that you're receiving." "Over the past two years, it's really been horrendous here in Canada," Reid continued. "We had a 91-year-old lady who was in the news in Vancouver because she sought medical assistance in dying because she didn't want to go back into COVID lockdown in her nursing home.

Deep State Suspicions - American Thinker
"...Vespa reminds us that the FBI not only used Twitter to influence public opinion, but it 
  • lied about Russian Collusion, 
  • scotched any inquiry into Hunter Biden’s laptop, which evinces massive illegal activities by the Biden family, and 
  • raided Trump’s Florida home on “shoddy and spurious legal justification.”
So close that it’s easy to see how this hand-in-glove censorship operation was successful for so long. 
...“Twitter’s top ranks were riddled with ex-FBI agents and executives stitching the company even closer to the federal agency now under fire for leaning on Twitter to meddle in the 2020 elections.”...

Elon Musk reinstates suspended journalists' Twitter accounts - TheBlaze

Elon Musk reinstates suspended journalists' Twitter accounts - TheBlaze

Musk accused those Twitter accounts of doxxing his exact location in real time. "They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service," he declared. "Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not."

Media's silence on 'Twitter files' is shameful

Media's silence on 'Twitter files' is shameful
  • Whatever happened to “All the news that’s fit to print,” and “Democracy dies in darkness,” the respective mottos of the two most influential newspapers in the country, the New York Times and the Washington Post?
Every morning, these august organs set the narrative for newsrooms across the country, and yet, time and again, we see them ignore stories that don’t suit their own agenda as propaganda purveyors for the Democratic Party and the security state.
This has been obvious in their non-coverage of Elon Musk’s Twitter Files, four batches over 10 days so far, which have revealed a chilling censorship regime at the social media giant, which no doubt is replicated across Big Tech, including at Facebook and Google...

Activist demands California dole out 'at least $830,000' per person in racial reparations: 'Comply or it's going to be a serious backlash' - TheBlaze

California's Reparations Task Force recently claimed that the state's black residents whose ancestors were in the U.S. from 1933 to 1977 are owed over half a trillion dollars in reparations for housing discrimination. Some activists are now saying that's not nearly enough.

Self-proclaimed "grassroots hip hop organizer" Deon Jenkins, who recommended close to $1 million in housing reparations on Wednesday, said in a recent interview, "Either they’re going to comply or it’s going to be a serious backlash."

The noxious racism of “disparate impact”

The noxious racism of “disparate impact” - Jeff Goldstein
  • The North Carolina Supreme Court rules blacks are lesser than more civically and mentally evolved races.
"Requiring an ID to vote is objectively racist, the North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled — overriding the NC legislature and the state constitution, which treated all potential NC voters as equal before the law.
  • What that means, by assessment of the State Supreme Court of North Carolina, (which ruled 4-3 along ideological lines, with liberal judges in the majority), is that blacks are officially and legally now deemed less capable in practice of acquiring a form of personal identification. 
  • That is, they are lesser than all other “races” with respect to that task, and so it follows, to the constellation of other tasks that require personal identification to effectively complete...

FBI Used Twitter To Censor, But Emails From The Latest Twitter Files Reveal That They Also Used Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Wikimedia And Reddit (Screenshots) - By Kellyanne Richardson
"...This latest round features how deeply the FBI, DHS, state governments, and others were involved in what was and wasn’t allowed on the social media platform. 
Most of the focus is on the FBI.
  • Something that stood out to me in that email: was 100% confirmation that FB was also involved the same as Twitter. 
  • And why were they meeting with the OH Sec of State media director?

Close-up image:

  • The FBI had 80 agents colluding with Twitter to censor Americans.

'Eco-conscious' Google data center gobbled up nearly 300 million gallons of Oregon city's water amid droughts, tried to keep it secret - TheBlaze

Google says it seeks to "foster sustainability at scale" and to reduce the "environmental impact" of its operations. The tech giant also claims to provide "critical information ... in moments of crisis." When the residents of The Dalles, Oregon, attempted to figure out precisely how much of their water was being used by the local Google data center amid a drought affecting over 540,000 residents in the state, the city sued on the company's behalf to keep the amount a secret.

A corrupt political weapon of the left!-----The CDC Buried a Study That Conflicted With the Left's Gun Control Narrative

The CDC Buried a Study That Conflicted With the Left's Gun Control Narrative
"...Before the pandemic, most of us probably assumed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was a competent and apolitical institution. 
How wrong we were.
But the CDC’s bias extends far beyond pushing the “right” COVID-19 narrative, and it has established itself as a left-leaning bureaucracy masquerading as a health organization. 
  • The latest proof of this was the recent decision to remove all references to a study it had commissioned on gun control because of complaints from gun control supporters that the study undermined their preferred narrative...
