'There is power in a name': American Ornithological Society is renaming over 70 species of birds to correct 'historic bias' | Blaze Media: 

The leftist campaign to sever ties with the past in the name of equity and inclusion continues unabated, even in the sciences. The latest effort, undertaken by the American Ornithological Society, will ultimately see all species of birds in the United States and Canada renamed, purportedly to "address past wrongs and engage far more people."

Hope is in the wind!

Marlow: Don’t Let Him Fool You, Joe Biden Chose Billionaires , Green Radicals, and China Over Auto Workers - ALEXANDER MARLOW

“President Biden is the most pro-union president in history” has become the White House’s go-to response to the recent strike that had upturned American auto manufacturing...

The strikes backed Biden into a corner. On one side, you had the unholy alliance of auto executives and green radicals, and on the other, the blue-collar voters Biden likely needs for reelection. This was destined from the start to be a political mess, so the President dusted off his most trusty tactic:
Lying.

Biden would claim that he was the savior of it all.
Few lies are as central to the Biden mythology as Biden’s allegiance to the working class. 

Yet, under Biden’s presidency, American labor has found itself squeezed harder than ever...

"Government approved scientist"!

The rise and fall of FTX and SBF: The ‘crypto king’ is facing 110 years in prison

The rise and fall of FTX and SBF: The ‘crypto king’ is facing 110 years in prison - KIM KOMANDO

"I’m sure you’ve seen the headline — 110 years. 

That’s how much time fallen crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried could spend in prison. 

After a month-long trial, the FTX founder was just found guilty of seven counts, all revolving around $8 billion the crypto exchange stole from users...
Now, he’s in the same conversation as Bernie Madoff. 

• This is so fascinating that I wanted to take you down the winding road of the biggest crypto mess... 

The big question the jury had to decide on was simple — no knowledge of blockchain, wallets or keys. required. 

Did SBF, now 31, intentionally trick customers and use all the money they invested as his own? 

The answer (which you know will be challenged in an appeal) is yes.
$26.5 billion...

Their support for terror is "cool"?

It turns out that people aren't angry the new House speaker is, at least financially speaking, like a sizable percentage of Americans: not rich and scraping by on what he does have to provide for his family.

Lies intended to make driving more miserable!-----Right turn on red: US cities are considering bans

Right turn on red: US cities are considering bans
"...A dramatic rise in accidents (lie!) killing or injuring pedestrians and bicyclists has led to a myriad of policy and infrastructure changes, but moves to ban right on red have drawn some of the most intense sentiments on both sides.

• Washington, D.C.’s City Council last year approved a right-on-red ban that takes effect in 2025. 
• New Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s transition plan called for “restricting right turns on red,” but his administration hasn’t provided specifics. 
• The college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, now prohibits right turns at red lights in the downtown area.
• San Francisco leaders recently voted to urge their transportation agency to ban right on red across the city, and other major cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle and Denver have looked into bans as well.

...He cited an upcoming study by his association that analyzed California crash data from 2011-2019 and found that drivers turning right on red accounted for only about one pedestrian death and less than one bicyclist death statewide every two years.

“What's really behind this movement is part of the agenda to make driving as miserable and as difficult as possible so people don't drive so much,” Beeber said.

The FBI will ignore Hamas-linked attacks now, as it has in the past | Blaze Media

The FBI will ignore Hamas-linked attacks now, as it has in the past | Blaze Media: 

The first thing to understand is that Hamas is the armed Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is an international Islamist network in which national branches are loyal to the main Shura council. Historically, when Muslim Brothers (including Hamas members) change countries, they became members of the Muslim Brotherhood chapter in the country where they reside but typically also continue to work on behalf of their home country causes abroad.

Untested Legal Imagination's the Mother of Trump and Jan. 6 Prosecutions | RealClearInvestigations
By Julie Kelly

"...the prosecutions of Trump and his supporters, including Robertson, have often depended on reimagining the law in novel ways.

• To advance the narrative that Trump colluded with Russia, for example, the Department of Justice seized on the little-used Foreign Agents Registration Act to justify probes and wiretaps of Trump allies. 
• In the Georgia election fraud case against Trump and numerous campaign advisers, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is using a law intended to combat organized crime, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act, in what even her supporters describe as a stretch.
• In Washington, D.C., prosecutors are using a financial crimes statute passed by Congress in 2002 in response to the Enron scandal to bring felony charges against hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, including Trump and Robertson. Lawyers for both and for other Jan. 6 defendants argue the law is being misapplied...

The Hallett Inquiry - reason over foul language, flip flops and narcissism - TOM JEFFERSON AND
CARL HENEGHAN

• The evidence vacuum is ignored by the Inquiry

"...We know, for example, that the UK’s Department of Transport mask mandate in July 2020 was based on no evidence. 

We know that 100 models assessing the effects of physical interventions (especially masks) to interrupt the spread mapped by the UKHSA are not fit for purpose. 

What they show is not evidence; it is frenetic guesswork...

Analysis of the statements made by the witnesses, when cleansed of foul language and narcissistic postures, reveals a complete lack of aim and understanding of the problem SARS-CoV-2 could pose and what governments could practically do to minimise its impact. 

The flip flops of many senior figures around the globe were due to the lack of a vertebral column: they capitulated in the face of media and lobby onslaught. 

Reason and experience gave way to panic. 

“We must do something” and “we must be seen to be doing something” became the order of the day...

Hamas Latest Statement Puts The Far Left In A Corner

Hamas Latest Statement Puts The Far Left In A Corner - Johnny Merchant

"Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, has issued a call for Palestinian civilians to sacrifice their lives in response to Israel’s recent strikes against Hamas terrorists in Gaza...

The terrorist attack that took place on October 7th was described as an unprecedented act of violence. Disturbing accounts reported children being beheaded, babies burned alive, and women brutally raped by Hamas terrorists. 

Despite these horrifying acts, Haniyeh called for even more bloodshed, stating that the blood of innocent Palestinian civilians should ignite the revolutionary spirit within us and propel us forward...

Weak leaders cause weak countries. And we know where that leads.

Let's Close All the Government Schools - American Thinker - Christopher Chantrill

"A couple of days ago I got from a friend a video featuring Gazan pre-pubescent boys telling the camera how they want to go kill Israelis. 

• Here are some of the quotes: "They teach us in school that Jews are fickle, bad people." "I am ready to stab a Jew."

It's pretty shocking to see little kids saying that. 

Until you think a little, and then you realize: of course.
Of course, the schools in Gaza teach the kids to hate the Jews. 

That's the whole point of government schools. 

To teach the kiddies who to hate.
That's why all the college kids are peacefully protesting for the Palestinians.
That's why "51 percent of [Americans] aged 18-24 believe what happened in Israel on October 7 was justified."...
