Lisa Boothe @FoxNews tweeted: If they can convince society that dudes can be girls and girls can be dudes, we are officially owned. Down is up and up is down. There is no wrong or right at that point. The transgender stuff needs to be a red line. We cannot live in a world of fiction and make believe.

Dan Gelernter columnist for American Greatness: Because wealth is created through labor, creativity, and industry. Why, then, should we tolerate the people who believe only in wealth through theft?

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge points out the hypocrisy in Biden promoting enhanced background checks for all firearm purchases under age 21: The irony is, this is the same person and political part that support the “transition” of young people, to include the removal of their genitals, without parental notification or any enhanced psychological stability checks. Background checks before 17, 18-year-old firearm purchases, but fast-track for gender reassignment.

Bruce Bawer contributor to Frontpage Magazine explains the silent coup that impeached President Nixon after he won a landslide reelection victory 520 – 17 electoral votes: Woodward and Bernstein didn’t just destroy Nixon. They radically altered the course of American history. By bringing down Nixon, they gave us Jimmy Carter. They revealed to their colleagues in the American news media just how much power they all had to shape public opinion – and how much wealth and prestige they could accrue by bending the facts to fit a partisan narrative. Woodstein’s example made possible the news media’s use, decades later, of endlessly repeated lies about Donald Trump to bring down yet another successful presidency.

Adam Andrzejewski is the Founder and CEO, OpenTheBooks.com: We requested the employment and financial information of Dr. Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, who is the chief bioethicist at NIH. The agency never even acknowledged our FOIA request.

Jeffrey A. Tucker President Brownstone Institute reviewed Dr. Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator’s book: Most of the book consists of her explaining how she headed a kind of shadow White House dedicated to keeping the country in some form of lockdown for as long as possible. In her telling, she was the center of everything, the only person truly correct about all things, given cover by the VP and assisted by a handful of co-conspirators. .

Robert Spencer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: But sanity and patriotism aren’t likely to return to Montpelier anytime soon. Alexander said that new board members at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which owns Montpelier, want to turn it into “a black history and black rights organization that could care less about James Madison and his legacy.”

McLeod: Ivana Trump’s Funeral Proved That LOVE CONQUERS ALL

There it was earlier today, down copy on today’s line-up of Fox News: ‘’Ivana Trump to be laid to rest in New York City Funeral’. Under Politics: ‘What to know about Ivana Trump’s funeral’ by Brooke Singman. The truth is that Fox News, like the rest of the propaganda-pushing media, knew nothing about Ivana Trump’s funeral, only endless speculation about whether the man she dubbed ‘The Donald’ and his wife former First Lady Melania,” would be there: . . . […] Fox and other mainstream media harlots should have known that their speculation wouldn’t keep Donald Trump, former First Lady Melania from paying their last respects to the beloved mother of Don Jr., daughter Ivanka and Eric. But at the end of the day, speculating media proved that they know nothing other than how to disseminate FAKE NEWS.

GREAT GLOBAL RESET

Kimball: On Popular Reason and Self-Rule

“The following is an excerpt from Michael Walsh’s forthcoming book, Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order, which will be published by Bombardier Books and be available October 18, 2022. Walsh has gathered a series of essays from among eighteen of the most eminent thinkers, writers, and journalists—including the American Mind’s own James Poulos, as well as Claremont Senior Fellows Michael Anton and the late Angelo Codevilla—to provide the first major salvo in the intellectual resistance to the sweeping restructuring of the western world by globalist elites.” […] It wasn’t so long ago that I had hopes that the Marxist-socialist rot—outside the insulated purlieus of humanities departments at Western universities, anyway—was on the fast track to oblivion. Has any “philosophy” ever been so graphically refuted by events (or the number of corpses it created)? Maybe not, but refutation, like reason, plays a much more modest role in human affairs than we might imagine. In fact, the socialist-inspired utopian chorus is alive and well, playing to full houses at an antidemocratic redoubt near you. Consider the apparently unkillable dream of “world government.” It is as fatuous now as it was when H. G. Wells infused it with literary drama toward the beginning of the twentieth century. All human children need to learn to walk by themselves; so, it seems, every generation needs to wean itself from the blandishments of various utopian schemes. […] A sterling contemporary example is the Great Reset recently proposed by the Davos-based WEF, which seeks “to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.” Exploiting the panic caused by the Covid-19 crisis, the WEF demands that “every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed” in its socialist scheme to bring about a “Great Reset of capitalism.” The true political ends of such elite enterprises are generally swaddled in emollient rhetoric about freedom and democracy. Thus the PR surrounding the WEF’s Great Reset is festooned with talk of “stakeholder capitalism,” “equality,” “sustainability,” and other items in the lexicon of socialistically oriented political obfuscation. The real agenda, however, is revealed in its call for . . .

Sundance: U.S. Public Broadcasting Promotes American Diet of Insects to Support Biden Administration Climate Change Initiatives

The goal of gaining public acceptance for eating insects instead of meat is now part of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) effort. The larger climate change objective is to “transition” the global food supply away from cows, pigs and chickens, and toward a more sustainable lifestyle of eating insects and bugs. Farmers in North American and Europe are facing massive regulatory changes as part of the Build Back Better or Green New Deal initiatives. […] A comprehensive marketing, branding and image campaign is underway to change the public perception toward an acceptance of sustainable algae and bugs as food sources. Public Broadcasting (PBS) is part of that imitative: . . . Several U.S. food manufacturers now include insects and bugs as part of their ingredient list. It would be worthwhile checking the labels. . . […] As farmland across Europe and North America increasingly comes under enhanced “climate change” regulation from government, we can expect the speed of food supply transitioning to insects to increase exponentially. […] With PBS now joining the chorus of insect food promotion; and with the increasingly discussed pending global food shortage now looming; it would appear that western leaders are following the advice from the World Economic Forum and preparing their citizens in Europe and North America to accept insects as food.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE

Solomon: Mystery solved: DOJ secretly thwarted release of Russia documents declassified by Trump

In the final hours of the Trump presidency, the U.S. Justice Department raised privacy concerns to thwart the release of hundreds of pages of documents that Donald Trump had declassified to expose FBI abuses during the Russia collusion probe, and the agency then defied a subsequent order to release the materials after redactions were made, according to interviews and documents. The previously untold story of how highly anticipated declassified material never became public is contained in a memo obtained by Just the News from the National Archives that was written by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows just hours before Trump left office on noon of Jan. 20, 2021. […] In an interview Tuesday night on the “Just the News, Not Noise” television show, Meadows said he was dismayed that DOJ ignored a lawful instruction from a sitting president and said it was part of a larger dynamic in which the permanent federal bureaucracy repeatedly tied to undercut Trump to protect itself. “Well, you know, the swamp is pretty deep,” Meadows said.

Whedon: Video shows Colbert crew antics in House office building before arrest

Police say the crew was warned “several times” against trespassing on Capitol grounds and that a concerned staffer for Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-NY, alerted authorities to their presence because their behavior caused him to fear for his safety. […] Federal prosecutors ultimately declined to press charges against the “Colbert Nine” . . .

Widburg: The Capitol Police rebel against the DOJ’s failure to prosecute the ‘Colbert Nine’

On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that it would not prosecute the nine Stephen Colbert employees (the “Colbert Nine”) who had been wandering around the Capitol building unescorted. This was a huge slap in the face to every single January 6 defendant who was imprisoned and prosecuted for “parading” or otherwise trespassing in the Capitol. By Wednesday, perhaps tired of looking like weaklings and fools since January 6, the Capitol Police pushed back, making it plain that the DOJ misleadingly described what the Colbert Nine had done, which was pretty darn egregious and very illegal. I doubt the DOJ cares but the facts are still interesting.

The day after Rep. Ocasio-Cortez pretended for the cameras to be wearing handcuffs as police led her out of the street she was blocking in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, Rep. Boebert used a minute of floor-time to note that the stunt did nothing to solve the problems faced by the American people. Rep. Boebert listed 13 things that “fake handcuffs don’t” do: Close the southern border, Lower gas prices, Curb inflation, Harden the supply chain, Put baby formula on our shelves, . . .

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

Robinson: Disney’s ‘Fairy Godmother’ Isn’t Woke Enough, Parks Make Genderless Transition to New Language

Disney Parks discreetly announced that they would be ditching the term “fairy godmother” for gender-neutral language as part of the company’s ongoing effort to be more inclusive. Accordingto the New York Post, the change specifically affects the parks Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques in both Disneyland and Disney World. The small but whimsical boutiques are where young girls ages 3 to 12 get to transform into princesses or knights. It has been one of the park’s most successful attractions. […] The changes come as Disney moves to make their theme parks more inclusive and politically correct. Last summer, Disney omitted “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” from its parks.

Brown: Yet Another Leftist Is Caught Preying on Children

You know, you think after a certain amount of time, the Left would have the wherewithal to look closely at its ranks and purge them of the human sewage that swims through their population like the proverbial corn-eyed sewer trout (stercore pisces). But as has been proven time and again, the Left will overlook quite a bit as long as someone is mouthing the right slogans. The sheriff’s deputies in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan? Well, not so much. Recently, three men in Isabella County, Michigan, were brought in for an all-expense paid getaway at the Isabella County Greybar Hotel for attempting to meet minors for sexual purposes via social media. According to WILX News 10, as the result of a sting operation, Joel Middleton, 27, of Shepherd, 59-year-old Harrison resident Jeffrey Davis Harrison, and 41-year-old Eric Rohman, from Mount Pleasant, are all currently enjoying their newfound status as the most popular girls on their cellblock. Unless they made bail. In which case it becomes a matter of “save-the-date.” At first, this may seem like a run-of-the-mill sting with Chris Hansen telling people to either take a seat or leave by the door they came in. However, as they say in the late-night infomercials, “But wait, there’s more!”

There always is.

Sundance: Joe Biden Appears to Say He Has Cancer During Speech in Sommerset, Massachusetts, (Video and Transcript)

Moments ago, while delivering a speech at a former coal-fired power plant in Somerset, Massachusetts, Joe Biden stated he has cancer. I’m not sure if that is what he meant to say, but here is the video and transcript: . . .

The Right Scoop: BREAKING: White House responds to Biden’s cancer claim…

They claim he “mistakenly” stated that he has cancer now. Instead, they say he’s referring to a past skin cancer that he had removed. […] So basically it’s all lies, as usually get from him, mixed in with a little dementia. [Note: According to Tucker Carlson’s reporting what was removed was not a Melanoma.]

Simonson: IG Report Shows Immigration System Buckling Under Pressure

Federal authorities don’t know the location of potentially hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants that entered the country last year, many of whom never showed up for their mandatory appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security report. The report shows Customs and Border Protection failed to record the U.S. addresses of around a third of illegal border crossers between March and June 2021, a period during which border agents encountered more than 720,000 migrants along the southwest border. Many of those migrants failed to report to ICE following their release.

Where are CNN, NBC and the other news networks?

NYC Mayor Asks for Biden’s Help After Being Flooded With Biden’s Illegal Aliens

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday demanded the federal government help pay for what he said was a wave of asylum seekers pouring into the city, claiming its safety net was being strained by busloads of people coming from border states and elsewhere. But as opposed to D.C., the problem in New York City is exacerbated by its “right to shelter” mandate, which means any homeless asylum seeker who comes to town, by any means, has to be put in a bed somewhere.

Duggan: White House Considers Declaring National Emergency Over Abortion Pills: REPORT

The administration may use executive power granted under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to declare a public health emergency to allow abortion providers and pharmacists to distribute chemical abortion pills, even in states where abortion is heavily restricted, according to Politico.

DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ANTI-POLICE ANTI-VICTIM PRO-CRIMINAL

Miller: Defunding police, vilifying them ‘at every turn’ contributing to officer suicides, experts say

Suicides in the law enforcement community have continued to be problematic for police departments across the country in recent years, including more than a dozen Chicago police officers since 2018, and two retired police officers told Fox News Digital that the defund the police movement, staffing shortages, and media demonization are now a contributing factor. […] “The suicides and the current climate go hand in hand,” Roy said, explaining that police officers are no longer viewed like they were in Norman Rockwell’s iconic 1958 “The Runaway,” the painting of a young boy and a police officer that has become synonymous with the “protect and serve” aspect of law enforcement. “We’ve gone from that vision to the police being vilified at every turn,” Roy said. “Officers are the subject of vilification, disrespect, false claims, and they’re not being supported by the government agencies that employ them.”

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MEDIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Chowka: Social media appear to be planning to censor the truth about the Democrats prior to the November election

Social media apparently are planning on turbo-charging the censoring of conservative voices — particularly ones who criticize Democrats — leading up to the midterm elections. How do I know this? What happened to me on Twitter last weekend cannot be an accident and is enough evidence for me. That’s how. What I am about to report is anecdotal. But from little anecdotes, great forests of fake news and censorship can grow. Last weekend, I read an article at Yahoo News that was originally published at the certifiably left-wing site The Daily Beast. The article’s title was “‘Shocking’ Monkeypox Screw-Up Means We Need to Admit We Now Face Two Pandemics.” The message was clear: another major pandemic is imminent, and the federal government and the tail wagging the dog — the medical establishment — will soon be unveiling draconian plans to combat it, similar to what went down for two years with COVID-19.

Shahar: Short-term Fatality Rate in Israel of a Third Dose

Dogmatically adhering to slogans, regulators have not tried to estimate the rate of fatal consequences of Covid vaccines. We are left to search for estimates using indirect methods. The circumstances around the third-dose (“booster”) campaign in Israel provide unique insight into a possible range of the short-term fatality rate. Long-term, vaccine-related mortality will be more difficult to quantify. At the end of July 2021, the ministry of health approved the booster for those who were at least 60 years old, and about 2.4 million residents were vaccinated in August – during the rise of a Covid summer wave.

[…] Importantly, the “normal” number of deaths in August has been fairly stable just before the pandemic, capped at about 3,500 between 2015 and 2019 (red rectangle). Using that baseline, the excess mortality of about 500 in August 2020 is compatible with Covid and panic-related deaths. The estimated number of excess deaths in August 2021 is twice as high: about 1,000. […] A vaccine with a mortality rate on such a scale is not “safe” – at least according to public health standards that had been applied to the flu vaccine and other vaccines. Nor is it “safe” according to estimates of serious adverse events from randomized trials. At a minimum, the estimated fatality rate should be part of informed consent. Unfortunately, informed consent has not been on the agenda of officials since Covid vaccines entered the market through emergency use authorization.
