A leftist governor ... in Wyoming? | Blaze Media

A leftist governor ... in Wyoming? | Blaze Media

Well, if Governor Mark Gordon has his way, Wyoming will look like the same green dystopia as California. How does this guy keep getting re-elected?

Last week, amid Harvard’s enthusiastic embrace of Hamas, Gordon made it a priority to deliver a speech on “carbon-negative” and promote the grift of carbon capture, solar, and wind energy before the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. “It is clear that we have a warming climate,” Gordon said in accepting the core premise undergirding our return to the Stone Age. “It is clear that carbon dioxide is a major contributor to that challenge. There is an urgency to addressing this issue.”

“Death By Taxes”: 10 High-Tax States That Are Sucking Middle-Class Families Dry
2. Michigan
  • "Michigan’s flat rate for state income tax sits at 4.25%, which is higher than what you will find for most middle-class families nationwide. 
  • To pair with the alarming flat rate, the property tax for a $300,000 home would come down to about $3,972 a year, which may be enough to sway families in the other direction.

How smartphones are dooming a generation - The Spectator World - Fraser Nelson
"Jonathan Haidt argues that the tools of social media are just too sharp for young minds
Something strange is happening with teenagers’ mental health. 
In the US, Britain, Australia and beyond, the same trend can be seen: around the middle of the last decade, the number of young people with anxiety, depression and even suicidal tendencies started to rise sharply. 
Jonathan Haidt, a psychology professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, noticed a change when students who were brought up with smartphones started to arrive on campus. 
  • They were angrier. 
  • More fragile. 
  • More likely to take offense.
Social media, he concluded, was shaping their view that society is in permanent…

Tlaib accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing in Gaza' | Blaze Media

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan issued a statement on Thursday in which she accused Israel of perpetrating "ethnic cleansing in Gaza." "As the Israeli government carries out ethnic cleansing in Gaza, President Biden is cheering on Netanyahu, whose own citizens are protesting his refusal to support a ceasefire," Tlaib said in her statement.

Care home deaths

She also told how huge doeses of midazolam was given often along with morphine which lead to respiratory distress and hurried along death. These old people were in a defenceless and vulnerable position, they were murdered...

UK has fallen!-----London Police Deliver Chilling Message to Counter-Protesters Opposing Pro-Hamas Mobs

London Police Deliver Chilling Message to Counter-Protesters Opposing Pro-Hamas Mobs - By Bonchie 
"...As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." 
The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, describing and damaging them.
In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage
  • Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades. 
  • Why the disparate enforcement of the law? 
According to police on the scene, there are just too many pro-Hamas protesters.
  • The United Kingdom is now a country where you can't freely protest while waving a British flag, but you can march down the street waving a Palestinian flag while defacing monuments without consequence. 
  • If that seems insane, that's because it is...

'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!

“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...

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...

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 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...
