NOTABLE QUOTES

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), in a hearing, said to CIA Director, Chris Wray: “You said we do not go to priests and ask them about their parishioners. You said we do not. You didn’t say we haven’t. You didn’t say we won’t. You said we don’t. It turns out you do.”

Jack Gleason contributor to American Thinker: Those we trust have told us to accept as truths that are now turning out to be lies. On the list are government investigative committees, our Department of Justice/FBI, the National Institute of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, weather scientists, and even teachers, to name a few. But perhaps the greatest betrayal of trust comes from the news media. The journalists who bravely risked everything to investigate and report wrongdoing are no more. Instead, the vast majority of the mainstream media support the lies in unison. And when there is even a hint of disagreement, they hysterically deny any opposing views.

J.D. Rucker contributor to TheLibertyDaily.com: “Smart Cities” will be able to control the people by only distributing to those who are properly compliant. That could mean having vaccine credentials. It could mean having a high enough social credit score to determine whether they get lab-grown “beef” this week or if they have to suffer through cricketburgers again. Kissinger was right about controlling the people through food, as it has been done by tyrannical governments for millennia. Even the most freedom-loving patriot will bow to tyranny before letting his or her family starve to death.

John Cody contributor to RemixNews: Maaßen said that European politicians are actively allowing mass immigration because, according to him, “our politicians want a different population. The political left follows the course of the anti-German ideology. The more heterogeneous a population, the less able it is to articulate itself and have a democratic say. The more politics accepts immigrants from other countries as they see fit and grants them citizenship, the more politics selects the people of the state and influences the election results. These migrants then vote differently than the locals.”

Andreas Wailzer & Maike Hickson contributors to LifeSiteNews.com: Müller named several attributes as the key characteristics of today’s globalism: “Materialism, totalitarianism, contempt for humanity, uprooting, and the destruction of people’s identity.” For the globalist agenda, the Catholic Church represents an obstacle, and therefore, it must be brought in alignment with globalism, Müller noted. The Church “is not just being run over, it’s being turned upside down,” he said. For the globalists to be successful, the Church “has to run in the same direction [as globalism],” Müller stated.

Michael Shellenberger’substack: At United Nations climate change talks in Dubai, the Biden Administration’s Special Envoy for Climate Change, John Kerry, called for a halt to new coal plants worldwide. “There shouldn’t be any more coal-fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world,” he said. “That’s how you can do something for health. And the reality is that we’re not doing it.” But the main alternative to burning coal is burning wood and dung, which is far worse for human health. Where coal is burned inside of large power plants, wood and dung are burned inside of homes, creating indoor air pollution, which is far more concentrated and deadly than outdoor air pollution.

Issues & Insights Editorial Board slams Biden’s Climate Czar, John Kerry: If he thinks a world of blackouts and scarcity-driven high energy costs are benign and don’t increase mortality – 68,000 Europeans recently lost their lives because they couldn’t afford to adequately heat their homes – then he needs to work harder at being an adult. Just days before his 80th birthday, he’s still acting like a reckless, look-at-me high school bully who had his good life handed to him.

Christopher Rufo contributor to City Journal: The resurgence of public protests in support of Hamas has revealed a disturbing truth: the left-wing rioting following George Floyd’s death in 2020 was not an anomaly, but a tactic that activists can repurpose for any cause. Whether by coincidence or design, these recent outbursts could be a dress rehearsal for possible violence during next year’s election campaign.

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF

John and Andy Schlafly: Judicial Tyranny Worsens in D.C.

The judicial pile-up against President Trump, led by Obama-appointed federal judges in D.C., has become increasingly brazen. Comments by these judges reveal a shocking level of political bias by people whose job requires them to be strictly nonpartisan. Judicial bias was on full display last week at a posh D.C. hotel where the Women’s White Collar Defense Association gave its “champion” award to a sitting federal judge, Beryl Howell. With almost no Republicans on hand to deter them, the powerful Democratic women lawyers felt free to let down their hair and say what they think about Trump. […] In remarks accepting her undeserved award, Judge Howell bragged that she and her D.C. colleagues were, in effect, saving America from Donald Trump, whom she falsely accused of pushing our country to the “brink of authoritarianism.” She incorrectly referred to our country as a “democracy” when we are a republic in which our laws are made by elected representatives restrained by checks and balances, not by a direct popular vote. […] Howell’s comments were particularly objectionable because her court is presiding over ongoing cases against Trump and hundreds of people who rallied to support him on January 6, 2021. Another Obama appointee, Judge Tanya Chutkan, continues to preside over Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump despite making a string of biased comments in her courtroom.

Sundance: Subtle Like a Brick Through a Window – CIA Outlet Approves Donald Trump Assassination

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth. Therefore, when the husband of State Dept. official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump. As alarming as this acceptance might sound, there are no intellectually honest people who would deny it. [Note: In the comment section following the article, Erik wrote: They tried 11 times and failed, I know this for a fact because I took one of them out on my watch protecting Trump.]

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/ONE WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

Salgado: Cardinal Muller: Genocidal Globalists Weaponize Mass Migration, Sexualization of Kids

A German cardinal is warning the West that “mass immigration,” abortion, and sexualization of children are among the pernicious weapons globalists are using to depopulate and erase “national identity.” Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), pulled no punches when speaking with LifeSiteNews, which translated his interview into English. He warned against socialism, abortion, euthanasia, climate alarmism, mass migration, sexualizing kids, globalist undermining of the Catholic Church, and other issues in a comprehensive interview on globalist elitism. Globalists don’t see individuals but statistics or groups to be controlled, he cautioned: “Human beings are just matter, just a mass of people that can be manipulated” to these elites. “Materialism, totalitarianism, contempt for humanity, uprooting, and the destruction of people’s identity” are the features of globalism, he said.

“Mass immigration is not about helping people but about destroying national identity,” Müller stated. “They say that national identity is nationalism, which has caused all the wars, so they say they are against nationalism, but they are really against the nation.” He said that if nationalism is really behind wars, the interests and finances behind the wars must be investigated.

Fernandez: Pope Francis calls for the elimination of fossil fuels in historic speech to the UN climate conference Cop28

He was suffering from a lung infection and was too unwell to deliver the speech, so it was given by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State. He said: ‘Destruction of the environment is an offence against God, a sin . . . that greatly endangers all human beings, especially the most vulnerable in our midst and threatens to unleash a conflict between generations. ‘Are we working for a culture of life or a culture of death? To all of you I make this heartfelt appeal: Let us choose life!’ The Pope also called for a ‘decisive acceleration’ in energy efficiency, renewable sources, eliminating fossil fuels and educating people to do without them.

Kingson: The first humanoid robot factory is about to open

A factory planning to pump out 10,000 two-legged robots a year is taking shape in Salem, Oregon — the better to help Amazon and other giant companies with dangerous hauling, lifting and moving. Why it matters: Agility Robotics says that its RoboFab manufacturing facility will be the first to mass-produce humanoid robots, which could be nimbler and more versatile than their existing industrial counterparts. China seems to think so: Beijing recently announced a goal of mass-producing humanoid robots by 2025.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE  POWER & CONTROL

Leuken: Climate Change Is Not Threatening Human Health

It has become all too common in the media, especially every time another United Nations climate conference like COP28 takes place, to blame every problem on climate change. The media and their go-to climate pundits reach far and wide to connect whatever tragic event is trending in the news to the modest warming of the past hundred or so years, and they do it no matter how tenuous the connection. Some claims immediately stand out as ridiculous to even the casual observer, like the claim that the oceans are boiling, which is so stupid only someone who has blind trust in favored authorities bordering on pathological would believe it. Other claims have the appearance of plausibility, at least at first glance, because the logic is relatively straightforward. Even then, existing data often contradicts the climate attribution. […] The blame for this health effect falls squarely on the media’s alarmist reporting. The mainstream media has increasingly used words like “catastrophe” and “uninhabitable” to describe the condition of the planet. This is despite the fact that data show weather is not getting worse. Creating climate anxiety is explicitly the goal of media climate reporting. Bombarding their audiences with scare stories, facts to the contrary be damned, is aimed at motivating people into “taking action” and supporting severe restrictions on fossil-fuel use.

I&I Editorial Board: Another Climate Snow Job

A federal bureaucrat is telling us that due to human activity, global snowfall is in decline. There’s no reason to be worried, though. We’ve seen the climate doomsday predictions before, and somehow they always turn out to be wrong. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, we were assured by the British Independent that “​​Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.” (Don’t bother to try to find the story in the Independent’s archives – that page doesn’t exist or has been moved, presumably because it’s an embarrassment to the newspaper.) In that article, reporter Charles Onians appealed to the correct authorities, citing David Viner, then a senior scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, who declared that “within a few years winter snowfall will become ‘a very rare and exciting event.’” He told Onians that “children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”

Berenson: Everything you hate about climate change virtue signaling in the most absurd story you’ll read this year

You’re gonna want to read this one on an empty stomach. Twenty-six times a year, The New York Times shows its commitment to the environment by offering readers “Living Small.” No, Living Small isn’t about the joys and trials of being height-challenged. It’s “a biweekly column exploring what it takes to lead a simpler, more sustainable or more compact life.” Seems the Times defines “sustainable” somewhat broadly, though. Thus today’s Living Small: Their Cape Cod Home Isn’t Small, but Its Carbon Footprint Is When I saw that headline, I paused to pull on my Tyvek suit before clicking through. I knew the unintentional irony and hypocrisy were about to get thick. But I had no idea how thick.

Anderson: House report sheds light on FBI targeting of Catholics, pro-lifers

The report noted that while the memo was still being developed the FBI had allegedly met with a bishop and a choir director sometime in November or December 2022 in Virginia and that the “FBI directly communicated with Catholic clergy and staff about parishioners practicing their faith.” The church was an SSPX-affiliate, which is the society of Saint Pius, which believes that there has not been a legitimate pope since Pius XII and does not have a canonical status in the Church, according to the Diocese of Richmond. The subcommittee also alleges that if the memo had not been made public via a whistleblower, it would likely still be in effect,” violating the religious liberties of millions of Catholic Americans.” Despite multiple requests from the committee, the FBI continues to have no estimate on how many other field offices had access to the memo and “cannot confirm whether any outreach occurred to Catholic parishes as a result of the memorandum,” according to the report. The FBI also did not have any “legitimate basis” for drafting the memo other than a “single investigation” by the Richmond Field Office into a “self-described” … “radical-traditionalist Catholic.”

REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY

ADI Staff Reporter: Biggs’ Bill To End Warrantless Spying On Americans Wins Bipartisan Support

The legislation would end the warrantless surveillance of Americans and combats the weaponization of the federal government. It’s time to pass the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act. The ACLU and FreedomWorks join cosponsors of the legislation: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) in support of Biggs’ bill. The PLEWSA overhauls Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and requires a warrant for all U.S. person searches. FISA 702 authorizes the federal government to intercept electric communications of non-U.S. persons who are located outside of the United States. […] “The House Judiciary Committee has unveiled the most important government surveillance reform measure since the creation of FISA in 1979. This bill addresses a growing crisis. Our government, with the FBI in the lead, has come to treat Section 702 – enacted by Congress for the surveillance of foreigners on foreign soil – as a domestic surveillance program of Americans. “The government used this authority to conduct over 200,000 ‘backdoor searches’ of Americans in 2022. Section 702 has been used to search the communications of sitting House and Senate Members, protesters across the ideological spectrum, 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign, journalists, and a state court judge. The American people can see that Section 702 has morphed into something that Congress never intended. The House Judiciary Committee – with the leadership of Chairman Jim Jordan, Ranking Member Jerry Nadler, and Rep. Andy Biggs – has now crafted a bill that restores the rule of law. This bill allows Section 702 to continue to protect Americans by conducting surveillance of foreign spies and terrorists. But it does so in a way that respects the Fourth Amendment. By achieving this balance, the Judiciary Committee’s bill promises to rebuild the trust of the American people in the law, strengthening both our society and our national security,” said Bob Goodlatte, former House Judiciary Committee Chairman and the Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability Senior Policy Advisor.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Wolf: Neo-Marxism and The End of Language -How Globalist Oligarchs are Targeting Western Meaning

Language is changing in America; indeed, probably throughout the West. And the changes are not good. The changes I see being introduced into English speech in America, are designed to kill off the practices and assumptions of individual freedom and responsive representation that have also been embedded for generations in us as a people. The language and language practice changes that have arisen in the past few years tend to “deconstruct” (a favorite word of the globalist elite) the core concepts upon which the West has been built for four millennia. They also tend to subvert the norms of representational government that America has practiced since its founding. The new phrasings, cliches and speech patterns replace those foundational Western concepts with Marxist/feudalist and oligarchical concepts. Language, of course, always changes. That is why we distinguish “living” from “dead languages.” “Dead languages” have stopped changing because they are not in use by living societies. However, the new language usages that concern me are not from language changing organically, the way it used to — that is to say, via changes in sensibility and usage; via new inventions arising and requiring terminologies, or old habits, traditions and objects passing out of memory. In other words, the changes being imposed on our language and language practices are not arising for the same reasons that we no longer talk about “voyageurs” rather than salesmen, or why we no longer discuss wielding a “bare bodkin”. Rather, the same monsters who have taken the rest of human civilization into their grip for the last two years, to establish their neo-Marxist/feudalist globalist oligarchy, are deliberately driving artificial changes in language and language practices. […] So those who wish to destroy America in other, material ways, such as by poisoning our pharmaceutical supply, as we discussed in Facing the Beast, or by buying up our farmland, are not wasting their time in their efforts also to subvert our language. Here are some examples.

Portteus: Marx in the Middle East

Paul Gottfried has observed that the “leftist alliance is inherently unstable because—outside of hatred, pompous virtue-signaling, and a desire for power—exceedingly little holds it together.” In itself, this observation is not original to Gottfried, but it’s hard to find a more emphatic display of its truth than in the fissures that have erupted in the American Left since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and Israel began its response. The conflict has emphasized a deep divide in the American Left, one that cannot be ignored any longer under the conditions generated by the war. It reveals much about the movement. In early October, shortly after the conflict began, the Biden Administration seemed eager to position itself squarely behind Israel. Biden joined with other Western heads of government in condemning Hamas’s actions. Almost simultaneously, Biden asserted that “In this moment, we must be crystal clear…. We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel.” The White House immediately requested an additional $2 billion in aid to Israel, and by October 20 that amount had ballooned to $14 billion. […] But if Democrats in Washington have expressed hesitancy over Biden’s support for Israel, their reservations are tame compared with the militancy of their more radical and younger peers. The activist Left has been stridently, even violently, pro-Hamas. […] So what gives on the Left? This question now haunts at least some American Jews, who have been among the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituencies. […] The Left’s response to the Israel-Hamas conflict has made clear that the Left has a serious antisemitism problem. […] The larger question is: “why?” Why would the American Left so flagrantly betray such a core part of their coalition? To understand the answer, it becomes critical to recognize the American Left as a fundamentally and openly Marxist movement.

Sabes: Family of 14-year-old girl sues American Airlines after flight attendant allegedly put camera in bathroom

The parents of the teenager, who are remaining anonymous, filed the lawsuit against American Airlines on Friday after a flight attendant allegedly taped a cellphone on the first-class bathroom toilet seat before their daughter went to use the restroom during a Sept. 2 flight from Charlotte, North Carolina to Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts. According to the lawsuit filed in a North Carolina federal court, the girl was waiting to use an economy-class restroom when a male flight attendant approached her and said she could use the first-class bathroom, saying “it would be faster.” When the teen approached the bathroom, the flight attendant went inside first, stating that he needed to wash his hands before the crew began to pick up trash. After one minute, the flight attendant said, “The toilet seat in there is broken. But don’t worry about it. We’re going to get it fixed when we get back to Charlotte,” according to the lawsuit. When the girl finished using the restroom, she noticed that there was a cellphone with its camera flash turned on that was located under red tape that read “SEAT BROKEN.” The male flight attendant was outside the restroom when she left, the lawsuit states, adding that he immediately went back into the restroom and closed the door.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PROMOTE & GLORIFY GENDER DYSPHORIA A MENTAL ILLNESS

Kinsey: VICTORIA’S SECRET APOLOGIZES TO TRANSGENDER TRYING ON BRAS, GETS DESTROYED

Welcome to the new frontier in the transgender culture war — the dressing room. All hell broke loose this week when a biological male who goes by @Microdragons1 claimed on social media that Victoria’s Secret better change its dressing room rules — or else! “I went through a thoroughly dehumanizing experience at Victoria’s Secret today due to my status as a trans woman,” @Microdragons1 wrote on Twitter. “I was trying to find a cute bra at Victoria’s Secret, and they made me wait until every cis woman left the dressing rooms before I could go into just one of them. They even made other cis women wait until I’d had my turn so no cis women would be in any of the 5 other rooms.” Hold up, what’s wrong with that dressing room policy? […] “We’re sorry to hear about your experience in our store,” Victoria’s Secret’s Twitter team wrote to Micro Dragons, adding, “We would love to speak to you directly.”

On the Victoria’s Secret website, the company says it “is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for our customers and associates.” […] Jennifer: We, the women, are not sorry the store kept our changing room area for women. You have a choice. You can please this man and enrage all of us. Or protect the women who shop in your store. They bent over backwards for this man and it still wasn’t enough. Siobhan Alexander ; How dare you humor a man’s sexual fetish as if it counts for anything. Why does a man want a bra so badly that he goes to Victoria Secret for a bra fitting? He’s including your sales clerks in his fetish. It’s abusive and sick.

WAR IN ISRAEL

Youssef, Strobel & Lubold: Israel Weighs Plan to Flood Gaza Tunnels With Seawater

Israel has assembled a system of large pumps it could use to flood Hamas’s vast network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip with seawater, a tactic that could destroy the tunnels and drive the fighters from their underground refuge but also threaten Gaza’s water supply, U.S. officials said. The Israel Defense Forces finished assembling large seawater pumps roughly one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp around the middle of last month. Each of at least five pumps can draw water from the Mediterranean Sea and move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels, flooding them within weeks.

Israel first informed the U.S. of the option early last month, prompting a discussion weighing its feasibility and effect on the environment against the military value of disabling the tunnels, officials said.

Greenfield: Did Any Palestinian Try to Save a Jew on October 7?

Not a single Arab appears to have tried to save an Israeli’s life. In fact, it was not only Hamas operatives who committed atrocities that day, but also ordinary people from Gaza who accompanied the Hamas invaders, joining in the orgy of killing, theft, and also in raping Israeli girls, taking some of them back into Gaza — these are not, remember, Hamas operatives but ordinary Gazans joining in the fun — to serve as sex slaves. Some of them, not in Hamas’ hands, may still be alive. Shani cited Daniel Lifshitz, the grandson of 85-year-old released hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, as saying that his grandmother was “spat on by hundreds of Gazans on the back of a motorbike.”… The contempt and cruelty shown by “hundreds of Gazans” who spat on an 85-year-old Israeli grandmother, who had been taken into Gaza by a Hamas operative on a motorbike, is one more bit of evidence that we should not call such people “innocent civilians.”

Hinderaker: WHAT INNOCENT CIVILIANS?

The Biden administration is demanding that Israel take even more extraordinary measures to avoid harming “innocent civilians” as it tries to eradicate Hamas. Around the world, politicians and others express dismay at the alleged number of innocent civilians who have been killed by Israeli bombardments, even while admitting that Hamas’s casualty numbers include its own terrorists, people killed by terrorists’ awol missiles, and so on. But my complaint is more fundamental. Watching videos of Israeli captives being paraded through Gaza, and seeing “civilians” spitting on them, hitting them, joyously celebrating their capture, I have asked: where are these innocent civilians we keep hearing about? In the Times of Israel, Avigdor Liberman makes the point in a column titled “Innocents in Gaza? Don’t be naive.” […] scenes within Gaza paint a sickening picture: […] The idea that Hamas is the source of Gaza’s sickness, and that Hamas can be excised leaving a normal society, is false. Hamas is a symptom, not a cause. The root cause of Gazans’ horrific actions is their culture, which promotes Jew-hatred above all other virtues. Unfortunately, the people of Gaza are suffused with that sick culture and, seemingly with very few exceptions, have bought into it. Calling them “civilians” doesn’t change that reality.

mRNA: BIDEN MANDATED DEATH JAB

Kirsch: It’s always the last dose that gets you

Not long ago Steve called me and said that had some real unaltered vaccination records and wanted me to see what they revealed about vaccine safety. Here’s my take on it. There’s so much more to dig in here, but I leave that as an exercise to the reader. Steve has made the data public here. Turns out the vaccine increases death rates in the first 6 months after the shot which persists for about a year before going back to baseline. And it’s the last dose that kills you – pulling forward death into that first year post shot. Let’s start with death rate. Here we see the number of deaths per 100,000 person days after the last shot. More on that metric later, but it’s the least biased way we can look at the data we have. The blue line is from the vaccine records, the red is from some synthetic data I created that was explicitly designed to NOT have any vaccine effects (more on that below, too).

BOOK REVIEW: SCALIA – RISE TO GREATNESS, 19236 to 1986 BY JAMES ROSEN

Shapiro: Nino The Great

Although calling someone “larger than life” is a cliché, Antonin “Nino” Scalia was undoubtedly someone whom the phrase fit. He lived a life full of hard work, passion for learning and excellence, and dedication to family and public service. His era-defining judicial opinions had made him, at the time of his death in 2016, a month shy of his 80th birthday, one of the most consequential figures of American history. Even his youngest daughter described him as larger than life, adding that in raising his kids “he was putting on a show—but it was a great show.” Many books have been written about the man, including a couple of notable—and skeptical, if not outright hostile—biographies while he was alive, and a trio of edited collections of speeches and writings shepherded by his former clerk Ed Whelan after Scalia passed away. What more can be said about him? Well, though many remember Justice Scalia’s commitment to the Constitution, his razor-sharp wit, his devotion to his faith and the rule of law, and his unlikely friendship with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, his pre-Supreme Court years have hitherto been covered only in a perfunctory manner. Historian and former Fox News D.C. correspondent James Rosen has filled that gap with Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936–1986. Rosen unearths loads of never-before-reported information, from vignettes of Scalia’s youth to colorful nuggets out of the dark recesses of federal agencies.

Miranda: Remington maker to close its New York gun factory

RemArms, previously known as Remington Arms, will close its gun factory in New York next year, per the Observer-Dispatch of Utica. Why it matters: The decision comes as the gun manufacturer, considered the oldest gun maker in the U.S., has twice filed for bankruptcy since 2018 and has been subject to layoffs and temporary closures in recent years. Details: In a letter sent to union officials this past week, the company said operations will conclude “on or about March 4, 2024” in its Illion, N.Y., facility, per the Observer-Dispatch. […] Zoom out: Last year, the company agreed to a $73 million settlement of liability claims from nine families of Sandy Hook shooting victims. That marked the first time a U.S. gun manufacturer was held responsible for a mass shooting, per ABC News.

Charles: Exposed: New Audit Reveals Disney Had Insane Levels of Control Over Central Florida

A damning new report has surfaced highlighting the extent of Disney’s activities after it inked a deal with Florida’s government that gave the company near complete governing authority over its district. The report is a result of an audit conducted by the Central Tourism Oversight District for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office. The report details how Gov. Claude R. Kirk Jr. signed the Reedy Creek Improvement Act in 1967, which created the special district that Disney has enjoyed since then. It enabled The Walt Disney Company to develop its second location in Orlando, Florida, obtaining 39 square miles in Orange and Osceola Counties. It had almost total governing authority over the district, which enabled it to create and manage its essential services. However, the corporation also used its newfound power to engage in some questionable activities. Over the years, Reedy Creek essentially became a tool for Disney to expand its influence and control far beyond the intended purpose of the agreement. It essentially operated as an “experimental absolute monarchy,” or a private corporate kingdom within the United States.

Revolver.news: Info leaks on James Yoo, the anti-white racist linked to the Arlington, Virginia home explosion…

Well, we’re getting a deeper look into the suspect involved in the Virginia home explosion when the police executed a search warrant. The video of the house exploding caught everyone by surprise, leaving many to question the backstory and the identity of the man who literally blew up his own house. It appears there’s a lot more to this peculiar and mysterious story than meets the eye. This could potentially be another instance of the unsettling trend of anti-white racism that seems to be running rampant in the country lately. […] Based on his online posts, it’s clear that Mr. Woo was an “anti-white racist” who harbored a strong hatred and distrust towards the US government. His social media conveyed a definite sense of extreme paranoia. Here’s what Colin Rugg, co-founder of Trending Politics had to say about the suspect on his X post:

Unruh: Stunner! Many in new poll are actually willing to ban Bible

It already was several years back when the Guinness World Records found that the Bible had sold an estimated five BILLION copies and was history’s best best-seller. Ever. By hundreds of millions of copies. Now a new survey shows that young Brits have adopted the leftist ideology that it contains “hate speech,” and a high number are ready to have it banned. It is the Christian Post that described the polling by Whitestone Group that found nearly a quarter of young people in Britain “would ban the Bible if they felt its pages contained ‘hate speech.'”

Cody: Europeans will succumb to Islam’ – Former top German spy issues new warning as Muslim majority in Europe predicted by 2200

Germany’s former top domestic spy chief, Hans-Georg Maaßen, said in a new interview that Europe is facing an unprecedented crisis due to mass immigration, that Islam is well poised to conquer Europe, and that Germany and Austria could do much to stop the crisis but are choosing not to. “A completely different culture is approaching us. We are not at all prepared for this, as we’re incapable of resolving conflicts even by means of violence, like family clans do from the Arab states. These people resolve conflicts by violence, whereas people in Central Europe think that this can only be done through the courts,” said Maaßen, who served as president of the Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) from 2012 until 2018, said in his interview with FPÖ TV.

“The Europeans will succumb to Islam. On the one hand, . . .
