• Next time you avoid sitting at a red light in Seattle, Google’s “Project Green Light” might have something to do with it.
• The tech giant is working with 13 cities around the world — with Seattle being the first in the U.S. — to help optimize traffic lights and make traffic flow more efficiently. 
• Google’s ultimate goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles stuck in stop-and-go traffic...

"...How about street crime? 

• The nation is suffering from an explosion of violent crime, primarily in our big cities. 

Downtown shopping districts and suburban malls, big box stores and convenience stores alike, already struggling from shrinkage, are collapsing under the weight of armed robberies, flash mobs, and other wilding. 

Most of these criminals are homegrown, but some are immigrants, often members of foreign gangs like MS-13. 

Soros-funded prosecutors don’t prosecute many of these crimes because (they claim) the punishment isn’t worth the cost of pursuit and trial, but foreign criminals can be deported for this. 

• If we wanted, we could deport any non-citizen, whether here on a visa or a green card, or here illegally, based on a single conviction of such serious crimes. 
• But we don’t, do we? 
• Why not?...

Jordan Peterson ~ The Reason We Have So Many People With ADHD/ADD

"@michellewinkler39851 - In 2000 when my son started 1st grade, the new 1st grade young teacher diagnosed (medically) 3 of her students. 2 of the students parents listened to her and put their kids on Ritalin immediately. I told the teacher she was nuts and we didn't. I also was in the class after that, volunteering  My son is one of the most amazing, brightest people on the planet, and in high school scored #1 in the state for computer program solving, then went to the FBLA nationals and scored #6. Thank god I listened to my gut!

'The Elephant in the Room': The Real Source of Jew-Hatred in the Middle East :: Gatestone Institute

'The Elephant in the Room': The Real Source of Jew-Hatred in the Middle East :: Gatestone Institute - by Lawrence A. Franklin

• For [many Muslims], the Koran, every word of it, is the dictated word of Allah (God) as told by the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) to Allah's prophet Muhammad....

"...The "elephant in the room," which few commentators have had the courage to explore, is that for many Muslims, "Jew-hatred" is dogma. 

The 114 sura (chapters) of the Koran are replete with passages of Jew-hatred...

"So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]." Koran 47:4..

Beheading "infidels" is a centuries-long tradition in Islam, and still used today...

Bidens Caught Red-Handed? Oversight Committee Says WH Is Attempting to 'Stonewall' Smoking Gun Evidence

Bidens Caught Red-Handed? Oversight Committee Says WH Is Attempting to 'Stonewall' Smoking Gun Evidence: 

What it looks like is an administration taking a “talk to the hand” attitude toward legitimate questions about whether Joe Biden spent the years before his presidency — both as President Barack Obama’s vice president as a a private citizen between government jobs — thanks to the offices the American people trusted him with.

What it looks like, in a word, is “corruption.” And it looks like the White House is engaging in the time-honored Washington response of being caught red-handed: Stonewalling.

Financial invasion of America!

• "What does Harvard University do when faced with well-connected applicants — the children of mega-donors or other highly influential people — who have less-than-ideal SAT scores and GPAs?

They put them on the Z-List, according to a college admissions coach.
That means the students are advised to matriculate after taking a gap year, making them so-called “data ghosts” — meaning their lackluster academic statistics are not reported in the incoming freshman class.

• That way Harvard doesn’t take a hit to its stellar academic averages — or institutional rankings...

Israel's 15 ceasefires - Don Surber

• Palestinians broke each one. Former AP reporter says the media enables them.

"...Palestinians use ceasefires to reload before breaking the truce by attacking Israel again. 

Israel reloads as well as it plans counterattacks.
AP has sided with the Palestinians for as long as I can remember. 

For over a decade, its bureau in Gaza City provided cover for Hamas — the latest name for Palestine’s terrorist army. Hamas governs Gaza...
In 2021, Israel finally unveiled the ruse, called AP, gave them an hour to pack up and leave, and then destroyed the building...
Israel did not start this war. 

• Palestinians did by attacking Israelis on October 7.
• Every single target was civilian. 

Terrorists even attacked a Rave for Peace as Palestinians raped women, tortured the elderly, beheading babies and burning people. 

• The violations of international law make every single member of Hamas liable and its leader war criminals.

But leave it to Barack Hussein Obama to side with the war criminals...

Status  Approved
Type Constitutional amendment	Origin Citizens

Michigan Proposal 2, the Voting Policies in Constitution Amendment, was on the ballot in Michigan as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022. The ballot measure was approved.

A “yes” vote supported adding several election and voting-related policies to the Michigan Constitution, including some policies that exist in statute and others which would be new. Proposal 2 added the following policies to the state constitution:   • creating a nine-day early voting period;  • requiring voters to present photo identification or sign an affidavit when voting in person or applying for an absentee ballot; • requiring that military and overseas ballots postmarked by election day are counted; • providing voters with a right to request an absentee ballot; • requiring the state to fund prepaid stamps and a tracking system for absentee ballots; • requiring the state to fund a number of absentee ballot dropboxes; • providing that local governments can accept charitable and in-kind donations to assist with running elections as long as donations are disclosed and aren’t from foreign entities; and • providing that election officials are responsible for election audits, requiring election audits to be conducted in public, and requiring election results to be certified based on votes cast. Proposal 2 also added constitutional language saying that "harassing, threatening, or intimidating conduct," as well as laws, regulations, and practices, that have "the intent or effect of denying, abridging, interfering with, or unreasonably burdening the fundamental right to vote" are prohibited.

A “no” vote opposed adding these election and voting-related policies to the Michigan Constitution.

UW gave gender-transition surgeries without proper consent: lawsuit | Fox News: 

The patient allegedly had a "series of traumatizing events within her childhood home, including being sexually abused." She eventually fled the home and was diagnosed with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the report. She stopped taking testosterone in the last year and began the process to "detransition" after determining that her childhood trauma sparked mental distress, not her biological sex, the outlet reported.

The people wanting a “pause” or a “cease fire” only want that because Israel is winning.

We have lost the battle!-----The Ideological Rot of America - by Torrance Stephens, PhD

The Ideological Rot of America - by Torrance Stephens, PhD

• Modern government education and higher learning have become an assembly-line for the production of woke idiots. 

"I was raised in a time when the most important aspects of education were being able 

• to think critically, 
• to never accept any perspective without questioning and rigorous debate, and 
• to love my community and country. 

Not anymore, because of the current direction of education posited by elite extreme progressive leftists...

Take the present modern-day examples of the George Floyd riots and the recently expressed solidarity around Hamas criminal terrorists. I would not be far off to hypothesize that the same young people who burned down many major progressive cities in the summer of 2020 are the same ones presently chanting “From the river to the sea.” 

Sadly, a recent Harvard (figures) poll notes that the majority of Americans in the 18-24 age range think that Hamas’ massacre of over 1400 Israeli civilians “can be justified.” Moreover, 62% of the exact same group agreed the massacre was "genocidal." No earthly reasonable person, educated or not would assert that one can engage in genocidal acts and consider it justified.

Again, this is a direct result of what is going on at colleges across the US...

The Earth Is Warming, but Is CO2 the Cause? - WSJ

• Norway’s government commits a no-no by letting statisticians pose the most inconvenient question.

"If this column has ever plagiarized itself, it’s by repeating the phrase “evidence of warming is not evidence of what causes warming.” 

• A paper published by the Norwegian government’s statistical agency, written by two of its retired experts, touching on this very subject has called forth so many shrieked accusations of climate apostasy that you know it must be interesting.
• The authors ask a simple question: Are computerized climate simulations a sufficient basis for attributing observed warming to human CO2? 

After all, the Earth’s climate has been subject to substantial warming and cooling trends for millennia that remain unexplained and can’t be attributed to fossil fuels. 

• As statisticians, their conclusion: “With the current level of knowledge, it seems impossible to determine how much of the temperature increase is due to emissions of CO2.”...

Our memory of tyranny is terribly short | Blaze Media: 

Pick any issue at all, and I can tie it back to the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad decisions spawned by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because even if it’s something not directly tied to COVID or the heinous policies that ensued as a result, COVID nonetheless permitted people such as Fauci to gain immense power. This is why I can never let this go without a reckoning. Everything goes back to that. And I will never stop reminding you of that. No matter how much some of you don’t want to hear it.
