It's a scam!-----Academic Publisher Retracts Over 11,300 Papers and Shuts 19 Journals As It Is Overwhelmed by Fraud By streiff

Academic fraud is forcing Wiley, a major publisher of scientific journals, to close 19 journals after some were overwhelmed by industrial-scale research fraud.

"...These publications don't make their money from advertisers. 

To have a research paper published in a top-tier journal will cost the research team several thousand dollars...

Why, you might add, would anyone pay $12,000 to have their paper published in one of Nature's 156 titles? 

• The way you win grants, acquire and maintain academic tenure, and move from the underpaid gypsy status of a post-doctoral researcher is by publishing. 
• Nearly all the problems associated with academic publishing — fraudulent data, insipid and irrelevant subjects, and incoherent writing being top among them — stem from the role publishing in academic journals plays in scientific research. 
• Paradoxically, the business model of academic journals is based on selling space to needy scientists, and so there is a tension between academic integrity and the bottom line that technology, especially the emergence of large language models, has exacerbated...

Watch video documenting Merrick Garland's 'contempt of Congress' | WND | by Bob Unruh: 

WND reported only a few weeks ago of the stark double standard the Biden administration is using to operate. Another special counsel, Jack Smith, has launched a massive attack on President Donald Trump over his retention of presidential papers in his home. There are several differences from the Biden case. Trump was president and had authority to declassify any documents; Biden never was and never did.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: We Have Been Subverted | The Free Press

What is at stake in our ability to see the threat plainly? Nothing less than the preservation of our way of life. By Ayaan Hirsi Ali

• If you wonder why I—a woman of color, an African, a former Muslim, a former asylum seeker, and an immigrant—look at the antics of today’s anti-Israel, anti-American protesters with such fear and trembling, allow me to explain.

I was born in Somalia in 1969. The country had achieved independence nine years before. But less than a month before I was born—on October 21, 1969—a junior member of the brand-new Somali armed forces seized power with the help of the Soviet Union. The first two decades of my life were shaped by the upheaval that followed that coup...
What followed was a nightmare.

• Right now, so many Western nations are under grave threat from the twin forces of cultural Marxism and an expansionist political Islam familiar to me from my youth.

How close is Biden to instigating nuclear war? | WND | by Richard Blakley: 

In three and a half years, Biden has taken America backwards to another 1979 Iran hostage scenario, except this time with Hamas holding U.S. citizens and others hostage, and has taken us backwards to another 1962 Cuban missile crisis with Russia doing military exercises in the Caribbean and threatening to give nuclear weapons to U.S. enemies.

President Joe Biden has set a goal that half all of new vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2030 are electric, part of his push to fight climate change.

THEY HATE YOU: Democrat Congressional Candidate Says the Quiet Part Out Loud, Proposes RE-EDUCATION CAMPS for Trump Supporters | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

“This radical New York City Democrat Socialist who literally is renting a bed and breakfast room in NY-21 was caught on tape saying she wants to force Trump voters through “re-education camps,'”

• Collins explained to her fans that a Democrat victory in November is not enough to ‘save the country,’ even if there is “a resounding blue wave.” According to her, a final solution involving sending Trump supporters off to re-education camps is imperative as well.
• “Even if we were to have a resounding blue wave come through, as many of us would like, putting it all back together again after we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare and re-educating basically, which that sounds like a rather, a re-education camp,” the fascist candidate explained...

Ukrainian outlet with ties to US State Department puts Blaze Media on 'Russian disinformation' watchlist | Blaze Media: 

The Texty.org article clearly presupposes that Ukraine is entitled to American financial support in its efforts against Russia, asserting that "Ukraine's victory is essential for the democratic world." It also seemingly blames Congress for "increased casualties among Ukrainian troops and a gradual retreat by the Ukrainian Armed Forces" because it delayed authorizing more aid by a mere four months. The article even blasted 10 congressional Republicans for simply calling for "a stronger audit" of Ukrainian funding packages.

Tide Turns as State Supreme Court Backs GOP Governor on Removal of Soros-Backed Prosecutor:

The outlet also noted that Worrell received financial support from the left-wing activist group Our Vote Our Voice, which received a $1 million cash infusion by the George Soros-backed group Democracy Now.

The court ultimately ruled in favor of the governor, and for a rather simple, constitutional reason.

The Florida constitution gives the governor the power to suspend a state officer for “malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform official duties, or commission of a felony, and may fill the office by appointment for the period of suspension.” The same rules give DeSantis the power to reinstate suspended officers, as well.

FBI's latest data shows 'historic' drop in crime: Garland - ABC News

• Still, perception of crime often does not match up with the numbers. More than three-quarters of Americans said that there is more crime in the U.S. than a year ago and more than half of Americans said the same about crime in their local area, according to a Gallup poll from November...
• Some crime data experts have cautioned not to rely too much on the FBI's numbers, noting their largely preliminary nature that only covers roughly 77% of the nation's total population -- even if their broader assessment of decreasing crime across the country rings true.

'Nothing ordinary': DOJ admits Biden's special counsel transcripts inaccurate | WND | by Bob Unruh: 

The watchdog group cited the White House's own admission of the differences.

They may be considered insignificant by some, such as "missing 'filler words (such as 'um' or 'uh')' and words that 'may have been repeated when spoken (such as 'I, I' or 'and, and')'…"

The report noted that the DOJ also is claiming that "AI" could be "used to alter Biden's words" so the material should be kept secret.

A court filing by the DOJ claims the transcripts "accurately capture" the spoken words, but even so, they are not identical. The filing claimed the "differences" are not substantive.
