'Money guy': This Hunter Biden business partner could blow the lid off Biden family's business dealings | Fox News:

Following Devon Archer’s bombshell congressional interview last week alleging President Biden’s deep involvement with Hunter Biden’s business dealings, a new light is being cast on his son’s longtime business partner who stands to know even more.

Eric Schwerin visited the Obama White House and then-Vice President Biden’s residence at least 36 times between 2009 and 2016, likely to make him the next target of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings.

Schwerin was the founding partner and managing director of Hunter's now-dissolved firm Rosemont Seneca Partners when he was appointed by then-President Obama to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, an independent U.S. government agency, in early 2015.

Images show men armed with rifles, body armor coming across southern border | Fox News:

Fox News has obtained images that show suspected cartel gunmen coming across the U.S. southern border in Texas toting body armor and rifles – the latest instance of armed men believed to be cartel members at the border.

Law enforcement sources tell Fox that the three men were spotted on Saturday evening by cameras in the Fronton area and were seen carrying rifles and wearing body armor as they move through the brush.

Border Patrol agents, including the agency’s BORTAC tactical unit, were deployed to the area but found nothing. It is the same area where law enforcement arrested five suspected members of the Northeast Cartel in June.

Modern Energy and Your Turbine Footprint - American Thinker - By John F. Di Leo

"...But now let’s think about where they put windmills.

They aren’t all on farmland… but the majority are.

They usually can’t be on rock, because you have to be able to dig deep to sink those footings, to anchor a giant structure like this.
They can’t be in the middle of a forest, because you need a path to and from the windmill, for maintenance trucks and wiring. That’s a lot of tree coverage to clear, if it’s not already open. (see Olivia Murray’s fascinating report on Scotland’s efforts in this direction, here).

Scottish government axes 16 million trees to clear the way for ‘greener’ solutions

And they need to be reasonably close to a regular road.
So, for the most part, we’re talking about farmland...

Remember that?!!

The Remaking of America - Victor Davis Hanson

"We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history."

"It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s.

Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live...

It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath.

The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump.

And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a mere decade ago.

Here are 10 upheavals that the Left has successfully wrought.

Florida is poised to accept 'classic' learning test that focuses on the Western intellectual tradition - TheBlaze:

Florida is poised to become the first state to embrace the un-woke Classic Learning Test for public college admissions. It comes down to a vote by the State University System of Florida's Board of Governors later this month, after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis already ratified legislation in May, authorizing school districts to select the CLT as an alternative to the SAT or ACT for administration to public school students in grade 11.

MuskegonPundit: Why is the cash option for the $1.2B Powerball drawing so low? The answer might surprise you - mlive.com

Why is the cash option for the $1.2B Powerball drawing so low? The answer might surprise you - mlive.com

LANSING, MI – It’s a question that lottery players both casual and hardcore ask themselves and others when talking about winning the multi-million-dollar jackpot.
“Would you take the cash option up front or the annuity for the full prize amount?”
With the annuitized prize valued at $1.2 billion for the drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 2 and the cash option worth an estimated $596.7 million, it’s something players will have to consider if they are lucky enough to win...

The cash option is determined by the numbers of tickets actually sold during the run of drawings that haven’t had a winner.
Powerball is also required to have the total value of the cash option on hand to payout immediately if a player selects that option, meaning Powerball estimates that $596.7 million worth of tickets have been sold (or will be sold prior to tonight’s drawing) since the last winner was bought on Aug. 3...

Ohio sees massive voter turnout on GOP ballot question to protect state constitution from liberal activists | Fox News:

Ohio voters on Tuesday will decide on a ballot measure to make it harder to amend the state constitution, a change conservatives say is needed to protect the state from a radical anti-gun, abortion and education agenda that could soon find its way to other states.

It's an issue that has already prompted a massive early vote turnout – one that has some election offices straining to manage the load.

Worth you time!-----Medicine, changes and intimidation

Great to learn from professor Robert Clancy. Every time I learn so much.

Robert is a consultant physician and pioneering immunologist, professor of medicine, emeritus professor of pathology, doctor of medicine, doctor of philosophy and doctor of science, author, teacher and broadcaster.

Also holder of the Order of Australia.

@DavidW.R.
"I always work on the basis that every patient is smarter than I am." Best quote I've ever heard from a doctor. Wish every doctor practiced with this very attitude.

@francisgriffin1
Robert Clancy is the best person that John Campbell has on his videos. He is modest, extremely good at explaining complex issues to laypeople and never blames people for their errors. I could watch/listen to John and Robert all day long. I think that the guideline process discussed today has been coming for years. During a relatively recent trip to my GP (4-5 years ago) it was clear that she was looking at the computer screen for proposed medication for my numbers and it was only when I refused to take an additional blood pressure tablet that she even looked at achieving the same effect with different rather than additional medication. If doctors only respond to guidelines it won't be long before they're replaced by bots.

Social Engineering Is Now The Primary Objective Of Woke Corporations | The Daily Wire

Social Engineering Is Now The Primary Objective Of Woke Corporations | The Daily Wire - By Matt Walsh

"It used to be conventional wisdom in the field of economics that corporations should do everything they can to make a profit and maximize shareholder value.

That was the whole point of a corporation...there was this idea that, if for some reason a corporation decided to spend a ton of money on social causes, instead of growing the business, then they were doing something wrong.

They were misusing shareholder funds.

They were engaging in a form of social engineering, which is unethical, and maybe even illegal.

Pretty much everyone agreed with that.
In the last decade or so, though, this reasoning has fallen completely out of favor...
