Polling for hysteria!-Fake journalism/junk science-----Higher electricity bills? It's not just you, AP-NORC poll finds | AP News

Extreme heat is impacting most Americans’ electricity bills, AP-NORC poll finds 

• Lindahl, 37, who lives in North Carolina, said her monthly electricity bills in the summer used to be around $100 years ago, but they’ve since doubled. She blames a gradual warming trend caused by climate change.
• Around 7 in 10 Americans say in the last year extreme heat has had an impact on their electricity bills, ranging from minor to major, and most have seen at least a minor impact on their outdoor activities, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research...
• The poll found that about 7 in 10 Americans have been personally affected by extremely hot weather or extreme heat waves over the past five years...
• Sizable shares of Americans – around 4 in 10 – report that extreme heat has had at least a minor impact on their sleep, pets or exercise routine.
• He’s not the only one watching the dollars add up: About 4 in 10 Americans say they’ve had unexpectedly expensive utility bills in the past year because of storms, flood, heat, or wildfires, including nearly half of homeowners. Like Lindahl, many see a link to climate change...
• Even simply enjoying time outside has become more difficult for some. The poll found that about 6 in 10 Americans say extreme heat has impacted outdoor activities for themselves or their family...

Tim Walz silent on ties to Minnesota Freedom Fund that bailed out rioters * WorldNetDaily * by Tyler O'Neil, The Daily Signal

Tim Walz silent on ties to Minnesota Freedom Fund that bailed out rioters * WorldNetDaily * by Tyler O'Neil, The Daily Signal: 

When rioters took to the streets of Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd, setting fire to a police station, a Japanese restaurant, and a low-income tenement building (among others), then-Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which posted bail on behalf of the rioters. Now that Harris, Joe Biden's vice president and the presumptive Democratic nominee, has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, Americans may wonder about his position on the Minnesota Freedom Fund. As it turns out, Walz tapped the fund's executive director for the state's Sentencing Guidelines Commission.

Secret government. Adolf would be proud!-----Comment from the TSA on Tulsi Gabbard and the "Quiet Skies" Program

What was asked, how they replied. Matt Taibbi 

Before publishing Wednesday’s interview with former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, I sent a query to the Transportation Security Administration. 

• Was it true Gabbard was placed under surveillance via its “Quiet Skies” program? 
• If so, why? 
• If not, why did she receive “Quad-S” security designations? 
• Was the firm Empower Oversight wrong to claim the TSA commenced a retaliatory investigation into identities of whistleblowers?

A reply, attributable to a TSA Spokesperson, has come in:

TSA uses multi-layered security processes to protect the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce...

Michigan sports catch $25 million in 2025 budget

Frankenmuth facility scores $10M subsidy By Scott McClallen

• ...roughly $1 billion will be for pork projects that were not vetted by committee hearings or other processes, but instead are selected by individual lawmakers. 
• The projects could fund friends’ private businesses, failing companies, or a sports complex.
• The largest budget in state history will give $10 million to the Frankenmuth Youth Sports Complex, $3 million to the Berston Field House in Flint, $3 million to the West Michigan Sports Complex and $2 million to a boxing group in Detroit.
• “Rather than focusing on statewide necessities like infrastructure, safety, education, and other essential services, Democrats are continuing their politically motivated trend of funding nonessential projects like these in clearly targeted areas of the state,”...

Shades of the evil hatching in the1930s...

 

UK News Station Cuts Feed as Muslim Protesters Surround Reporter

UK News Station Cuts Feed as Muslim Protesters Surround Reporter: 

It’s absurd but predictable that the British media’s immediate reaction to Muslim threats and violence is to censor the news, so viewers can’t see what’s happening.

X user “Klaus Arminius” chronicled the chaos and violence that has erupted in the wake of the Birmingham protests, which have been hijacked by violent Muslim thugs.

In short, Walz is a yellow-bellied liar. - Geoffrey Ingersoll -Editor in Chief

YELLOW

• Hell, I knew one guy, with kids, in the reserves, who got blown up and broke his back. 
• So it’s for him and his family that I deliver...

YELLOW

One small detail about the Corps that I’ll never forget had huge implications: 

Rank eats last.
In other words, when the hot chow arrives in the field, the first guys who eat are privates, then PFCs, and so on, until you get to sergeants major and officers.
Veep candidate Tim Walz not only ate first, he then abruptly left the field.

It’s getting clearer by the day that a combination of cowardice and rank personal ambition led him to abandon his unit in 2005. 

He then repeatedly lied and misled America about the character of his service on his way to elected office.
In short, Walz is a yellow-bellied liar...

Our Crisis of Institutional Competence

Why things don't work anymore. - Glenn Harlan Reynolds

Almost everywhere you look, we are in a crisis of institutional competence.

• The Secret Service, whose failures in securing Trump's Butler, PA speech are legendary and frankly hard to believe at this point, is one example. (Nor is the Butler event the Secret Service's first embarrassment.)
• The Navy, whose ships keep colliding and catching fire.
• Major software vendor Crowdstrike, whose botched update shut down major computer systems around the world.
• The United States government, which built entire floating harbors to support the D-Day invasion in Europe, but couldn't build a workable floating pier in Gaza.
• And of course, Boeing, whose Starliner spacecraft is stuck, apparently indefinitely, at the International Space Station....

Slavery in America John Stossel

Virginia (D) Sen. Tim Kaine actually said, "The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody; we created it."

• Today people are taught, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst...
• Reilly's new book "Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me," rebuts anti-American propaganda that dominates many American schoolbooks today.
• Partly thanks to the New York Times' "1619 Project," students are taught that "America's slavery (was) unlike anything that had existed before."

"There's nothing wrong with acknowledging your historical mistakes," Reilly responds. "I'm Black, Irish, a bit Native American ... Those are three peoples who have experienced a great deal historically. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that. But it's extremely odd to focus only on the negatives of your society. And to exaggerate those!"

• Kids are now taught that slavers bought people in Africa and shipped them to the United States. Few are taught that most were shipped elsewhere.
• "Between 10.7 million and 12 million slaves from Africa went to the New World -- we got a little under 400,000," says Reilly. That's less than 4%.

Democratic Socialists of America Praise Kamala's VP Selection

Democratic Socialists of America Praise Kamala's VP Selection: 

“Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored,” the group wrote. “Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that change is needed. DSA members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.”

• "The Commission finds that DoD's business practices, byzantine research and development and procurement systems, reliance on decades-old military hardware, and culture of risk avoidance reflect an era of uncontested military dominance... Such methods are not suited to today's strategic environment....

'Gut-wrenching and sad to explain': National Guard officers on record blasting Walz for cowardice and lying * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Gut-wrenching and sad to explain': National Guard officers on record blasting Walz for cowardice and lying * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Two of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's former military comrades delivered a stunning condemnation of his actions and behavior – just days before he was elected to the first term of his current post in 2018. And he was elected anyway.

Now he's been picked as Kamala Harris' vice presidential hopeful in the 2024 election, and the warning still stands at the West Central Tribune.

Boss move from JD Vance on the tarmac in Wisconsin. He walks over to Kamala's plane.

 

Astronauts trapped in space by Boeing's faulty Starliner are given horrifying news about potential return to Earth | Daily Mail Online

• Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have already been trapped on the International Space Station (ISS) for more than two months, may not come back to Earth until February 2025...
• Thruster failures and helium leaks on Starliner prompted NASA and Boeing to keep the two astronauts in orbit for longer over fears a trip back on the spacecraft could end in disaster...
• However, experts told DailyMail.com in June that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission, suggesting Elon Musk's SpaceX would be tapped to get it done...

"... an overt doubling down on the Biden neo-socialist record..."

• Democrats picked a team that will let the country burn

The National Desk reported, “Nearly 92% of the initial staff members (Kamala) hired after she took office in January of 2021 have left at some point during her nearly four years as vice president...”...
As JD Vance said, “They make an interesting tag team because 

• Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, 
• and the few that got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail.”...

As governor, Walz changed Minnesota’s state flag to linen from Bed, Bath and Beyond.

• He gave driver’s licenses to illegals 
• and came close to making transgendering children mandatory. 

It was all part of the Democrat plan to make the state the California of the Midwest...
Unspoken in all this is that Minnesota has gone Democrat in the last 12 presidential elections, making it more reliable blue than California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and New York...
