Maui Official's Ties to Obama Foundation Raise Questions After Decision to Delay Water

Here are six videos of Democrats calling for violence or physical confrontations that are still active on Twitter | Washington Examiner  - by Emma Colton, Social Media Editor
"Videos of Democrats during the Trump administration calling for their supporters to confront Republicans physically or warning of “civil unrest” on the streets are still active on Twitter.
Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Ted Lieu, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Joaquin Castro, Sen. Jon Tester, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have all made comments suggesting violence or confrontations against Republicans. 
All of their Twitter accounts remain active, while the videos themselves are also circulating on the massive social media site.
Rep. Maxine Waters, for example, notably called for her supporters to harass Trump administration officials in public during a rally in 2018.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said...

Other studies, including a February study from the CDC, have also noted the skyrocketing rates of mental health issues among those under the age of 18 in America. Many studies have also noted that these trends increased sharply with the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns, which are believed to have had a seriously deleterious effect on mental health overall.

A hero ignored!-----Fake ballots in Michigan - American Thinker

Fake ballots in Michigan - American Thinker - By Jack Gleason

"Muskegon, MI city clerk Ann Meisch is a hero.  She noticed something odd about a woman dropping over 8,000 completed voter forms at the city clerk's office and did something about it.  She made a phone call to the Muskegon Police Department and asked them to investigate.

Then, according to an article by the Gateway Pundit,

[o]n 10/21/20...Meisch, who has worked in city clerk offices for 33 years, noticed that "... in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent ... numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination, addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent."

The MI State Police investigator assigned to the case spoke with the female suspect who explained that she was being paid $1150/week "to find un-registered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot."

Information was sent to the FBI, which did nothing...

The Michigan State Police continued to investigate and issued a report that detailed a widespread and well funded effort to create fake registrations and absentee ballot forms.  It "names 'GBI Strategies' as the organization engaged in what O'Halloran claims is widespread, systemic voter fraud.  The Tennessee group is heavily connected to the Biden campaign and various Democrat campaign committees."...

The information is documented in a video that is surprisingly still found on YouTube.



Michigan State Senator Ruth Johnson, who is a former Secretary of State, told the Gateway Pundit: "My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan, including many individuals who moved or died, and even some individuals who were underage or non-citizens...

Penzeys - About Republicans (WI business owner can't hide his hate of republicans. Gotta read it all!!)

Penzeys - (note his "About Republicans" link on the right of the company masthead)







"...The Republican departure from conservative values and embrace of what, from a distance, looks a whole lot like insanity didn’t happen by chance. 
All of it has been intelligently crafted with the goal of preserving the position of those who profit from the inhumanity that is at the very roots of pretty much every problem we are facing. 
From the environment, to racism/discrimination, to health, to saving our democracy at home and growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face.
The other half of the time they are the problem we face...
The truth of our time is we’ve arrived at the point where there’s no way to respect the nonsense the Republican Party is promoting and have any hope of overcoming the problems we as a nation and we as a planet face...
What does any of this mean? 
Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are..
Thanks for reading. Thanks for being here,

Confusion about Confabulations - Kip Hansen
"...But this intern, Teva D. Brender MD, fantasizes about having an AI ChatBot write some of her reports and discharge instructions and other paper work that increases the length of her work day. In her piece she makes the following statement about AI ChatBots:
“Finally, these programs are not sentient, they simply use massive amounts of text to predict one word after another, and their outputs may mix truth with patently false statements called hallucinations.”
She gives a cite for that statement, a February 2023 NY Times article written by Kevin Roose titled: “A Conversation With Bing’s Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled”. 
In that article, Roose said: “[advanced A.I. chatbots] are prone to what A.I. researchers call
‘hallucination,’ making up facts that have no tether to reality.”
Roose is not the only one to notice and worry about this: Google search “AI ChatBot hallucinations“...

A Texas university walked back its earlier announcement that it would shut down its diversity, equity, and inclusion offices to comply with Republican Governor Greg Abbott's new law, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. In May, Abbott signed into law Senate Bill 17, which bans public, state-funded universities from having DEI offices that push differential or preferential treatment of individuals based on race, color, or ethnicity.

Rutgers University to disenroll students who don't comply with COVID vaccine mandate - TheBlaze

However, Rutgers has gone back and forth on its COVID policies over the past two years. The Brownstone Institute reported that on March 25, 2021, Rutgers became the first university in the country to announce it would require students to get the COVID vaccine ahead of the fall 2021 school year. But this policy was instituted only after the school retracted a prior statement earlier that year, which said, "With our stance of human liberties and our history of protecting that, the vaccine is not mandatory."

Hawaii Utility Pursued Green Energy Goals While Fire Mitigation Projects Were Delayed | The Daily Wire - By Tim Pearce
"Hawaiian Electric is under scrutiny for allegedly slow-walking modernization and repairs of its electrical grid before the fire that ripped through the island of Maui last week.
Hawaiian Electric is Hawaii’s principle electric utility, providing power to roughly 95% of the state. Financial disclosures and reports show the company worried about the state of its electrical grid, and specifically the risk of wildfires, but devoted resources to building out the utility’s green energy network with limited action to mitigate fire risk, according to The Wall Street Journal...
