Mom sues military, police who treated her as a 'terrorist' after she complained about sexually explicit elementary school posters - TheBlaze

A New Jersey mother is suing military, police, and other officials after she says they deemed her a "threat" and "treated like a terrorist" for complaining about sexually explicit posters at a local elementary school. "I aim to embolden more parents to assert their fundamental rights in raising their children and voicing their concerns about the public education system," 35-year-old Angela Reading told TheBlaze Saturday.

‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship - Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
"...The release of Dr. Fauci’s 2020 emails, 
  • reports of vaccinated individuals contracting COVID despite being vaccinated, natural immunity,
  • suggesting COVID was “leaked from a lab,” and 
  • “worrisome jokes” 
were classified as potential misinformation and recommended for censorship by the Virality Project.
...Twitter was one of seven social media platforms that partnered with the project over what they labeled as misinformation during the pandemic.
Taibbi called the Virality Project’s collaboration with Twitter an “Orwellian proof-of-concept” of government, academics, and corporations working together to “control political messaging.”
...The Virality Project evidently wanted to worm its way into every social media platform out there including Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr with an end game of “near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.”

"...But that’s not all there is to the story.
  • Woke Lending and the Biden Role in It
Kim Strassel reports that the bank, at the inducement of the administration lent money to some 1550 companies in the areas of “climate technology and sustainability.” 
None of these were likely to be profitable, and they put the money SVB lent them on deposit in the bank which bought the government bonds...
Strassel continues:

“We serve those creating positive environmental change,” SVB’s website brags, noting that the bank worked with some 1,550 companies in the “climate technology and sustainability sector.”

Most of these companies weren’t filling some vital market need. Rather, as the Journal reported, SVB was beloved for its willingness to offer “banking services to startups that often weren’t profitable, in some cases didn’t have a product, and would otherwise have a hard time getting a line of credit or a loan from a larger bank.” One tech entrepreneur provided a more scathing description of SVB’s products: “They’re basically subprime business loans. You’re talking about companies that have no credit profile, they’re burning cash and are unlikely to raise the same type of capital because of interest rates.  It was basically social credit.”

What inspires a bank to disregard risk and shower money on products or services that nobody is clamoring to buy?...

Strassel amplifies this in a Wall Street Journal editorial, noting that the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” was “a starting gun for a clean-energy frenzy.”
The act manipulated the market to fund green energy projects rather like Obama’s stimulus bill gave us Solyndra, which after receiving huge federal loan guarantees, collapsed, causing substantial losses...

"Naturally the Washington Post knows with certainty what the current heavy rain spell in California means:
California’s weather is what climate change looks like
. . .[T]he whipsaw experienced in California offers a preview of what scientists figure climate change will look like.
So once again we see the unfalsifiability of climate “science”: 
  • If there’s drought in California, it’s climate change! 
  • If there are heavy rains in California, it’s climate change! 
Neat system they have going. 
It’s like California had perfectly consistent rainfall before evil SUVs took to the road.

AP fact check on gas stoves ages like fish on a dashboard in summer

AP fact check on gas stoves ages like fish on a dashboard in summer - Tilting At Windmills - Tom Knighton
"I get it. 
None of you think of the AP as a trustworthy news source. I don’t blame you, because I sure don’t either.
But a lot of people do trust them for some reason, and that’s hilarious.
It’s funny because back in January, they did a fact-check to show that no, the Biden administration wasn’t about to ban your gas stove.
"The claim was sparked by comments from a Consumer Product Safety Commission official published Monday that “any option is on the table” when it comes to regulating gas stoves, amid growing health concerns over the appliances. In the days after, discussion online evoked images of the government dragging four-burner cooktops from homes, as social media users shared memes of gas stoves with text like, “Don’t Tread On Me.”
“I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. COME AND TAKE IT!!” conservative Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson said on Twitter Tuesday.
But officials insist that people’s kitchen appliances are in no danger.

"...it looks like CBS Morning is finally waking up to the possibility of a lab leak...
“We’ve got new details to share with you today about an investigation into U.S. funding the Chinese research lab in the city at the center of the pandemic,” co-anchor Michelle Miller announced. “It’s raising questions about how closely past administrations were following the use of the money.”
...Cutler’s findings are certainly concerning, as she discovered evidence of double billing, potential theft of government funds, and “dangerous pathogens and risky research.”
Herridge also reported that former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield had testified to Congress that “money from multiple U.S. government agencies supported high-risk virus research in Wuhan.”...

Exclusive -- Mike Pence 'Taken Aback' by Report of Looming Trump Arrest

Pence reacted to the rumor, based on what Trump described as “illegal leaks,” that the former president will be arrested as part of Democrat, Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case related to porn star Stormy Daniels.

“Like many Americans, I’m just, I’m taken aback. You have a major crime wave in New York, especially in New York City. You have literally a Democratic Party that’s literally dismantled the criminal justice system in that city, undercut the NYPD, and this is what the Manhattan DA says is their top priority,” Pence said, lambasting the district attorney’s office for focusing on non-issues as crime runs amok.

Dems call for more "oversight". No penalty for current, clearly complicit "regulators".-----Clarice Feldman - You Can Bank on it: A Cheat Sheet on the SVB Collapse - American Thinker

You Can Bank on it: A Cheat Sheet on the SVB Collapse - American Thinker - By Clarice Feldman
"...Over at the Wall Street Journal, William L. Silber explains this better than anyone, and in terms anyone who ever purchased a government bond can understand. They are safe. The problem is liquidity:

SVB held tens of billions of dollars in long-term government bonds. On its face, this may seem like a prudent investment for a bank, but Treasury securities are riskless only when held to maturity. If you have to sell before then, you can easily lose money if market rates have risen since you first purchased the bond. For example, buying a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond with a 2% coupon at par and holding it for 10 years earns you 2% per annum. But if you sell early and rates have jumped -- say, 4% since you bought the bond -- then the price will have declined to about $838 per $1,000 face value, meaning you incur a loss of $162 per $1,000 bond.

The bank officers know, or certainly should know that is the case...
But even so the income from the bond is listed as income, allowing the bank officers and managers to reward themselves handsomely for the “profits” on investment. 
Now you’d think federal regulators would know this, and they probably did, but looked the other way, for which they seem not to be held accountable.
...But that’s not all there is to the story.

Navy secretary cited climate change as top priority as Biden proposes shrinking the fleet | Fox News

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said he sees fighting climate change as a top priority for the Navy as the Biden administration proposes shrinking the fleet by two ships and worries grow about how the U.S. Navy stacks up to China’s.

"As the Secretary of the Navy, I can tell you that I have made climate one of my top priorities since the first day I came into office," Del Toro said March 1 in remarks at the University of the Bahamas.

Del Toro said he met with Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Davis during his visit and spoke "at length" with him about the climate crisis and focused the bulk of his remarks on climate.

Elementary teacher celebrates confusing children who can't tell her gender: 'That's the goal' - American Wire News
"Valentine Hills Elementary is a Minnesota school...It is there that Kourtney Ryan, presumably a woman, was said to work as a music teacher actively aiming to confuse students about her gender.
After posting a video of herself online, the watchdog group Inside The Classroom helped promote the short clip they had first shared in January by pointing out that the elementary school had ceased to monitor its Twitter account in December. 
During the roughly 30-second post, Ryan recounts a conversation between a student and a fellow faculty member.
“The students asked the other teacher if I’m a boy or a girl, and the teacher was like, ‘Does it matter?'”
Assenting to the teacher’s logic, the child was said to go on, “No, I just, I just can’t figure it out. It’s just so hard. I can’t figure it out.”
Having gleefully reenacted the struggle of the unidentified child, Ryan then displayed her own satisfaction with a victorious fist pump as she said, “And I was just like, yes, that’s the goal. That’s the goal.”...

Democrat gonna steal your vote...AGAIN!-----‘National Popular Vote’ scheme would let California choose Michigan’s president

‘National Popular Vote’ scheme would let California choose Michigan’s president
  • House Bill 4156 would disenfranchise Michigan voters in presidential elections
"...As the law stands now in Michigan, whoever gets the most votes wins the election — and in a presidential election, Michigan’s electoral votes. As it should be.
But a bill submitted in the Michigan House would change all that.
  • No longer would Michigan award its electoral votes to the candidate most Michiganders vote for. Michigan’s electoral votes would be given to whichever candidate receives the most votes in what activists call “the national popular vote.”

Never trust people who have lied to you in the past. Repeatedly!
