A leftist fake news outfit founded by Democratic activist Tara McGowan and funded by George Soros is launching a major Big Tech scheme to dominate the political information sphere ahead of the midterm elections.

Surprisingly, the damning news was broken by none other than NewsGuard, another notorious media outfit that MRC has exposed for using its ratings system as a cudgel to silence right-leaning media. Courier Newsroom, which has been fueled with at least $20 million between 2021 and 2023 alone by Soros, is making a “major bet” on weaponizing TikTok in order to sway votes.

Specifically, NewsGuard wrote that “Across 21 TikTok accounts — one for each state that Courier covers, plus a nationally focused account — Courier has generated an audience of 4.3 million followers and has collectively received 665.5 million likes on its videos.” Courier became infamous for spreading mass amounts of false information in past elections to manipulate voters.

Trustees who identify as Democrats greatly outnumber those who identify as Republicans at the nation’s Ivy League schools and, as a result, Democrats receive far more money in political donations from members of these governing bodies than do Republicans, a study by the Buckley Institute reveals.

“The trustees have ultimate fiduciary responsibility for their respective universities, hire and fire the university president, and have oversight over the faculty, among other responsibilities,” Buckley Institute noted in a press release stressing the importance of the study’s findings.

Mechanical calculators are precise, fascinating gadgets that you wouldn’t think would take well to being 3D printed, but a YouTuber has proved that a pocket-sized unit can be made purely from plastic filament.

YouTuber 3D all Workshop detailed his working, but limited, build in a recent video. If you’re familiar with the holy grail of palm-sized mechanical calculators, the Curta, also known as the “pepper mill,” you already have a working understanding of how this 3D-printed calculator works.

As detailed in the video, Workshop’s 3D-printed mechanical calculator, like the Curta, relies on a more than 200-year-old component known as the Leibniz stepped drum, named for its inventor, German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The core concept of the calculator’s central mechanism, like that of many other mechanical calculators, is the Leibniz drum’s teeth of different lengths. There are nine teeth per drum, representing values one through nine, while a zero setting engages none of them.

•There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly increases one’s risk of death.

•An alternative model (which the medical industry buried) proposes that the blood clots the body uses to heal arterial damage, once healed, create the characteristic atherosclerotic lesions associated with heart disease. The evidence for this model, in turn, is much stronger than the cholesterol hypothesis and provides many important insights for treating heart disease.

•The primary approach to treating heart disease is to prescribe cholesterol lowering statin drugs (to the point, over a trillion dollars have now been spent on them). Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are minuscule (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are vast (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).

•In this article we will explore the specific injuries caused by statin drugs, the forgotten causes of cardiovascular disease, and our preferred treatments for heart and vascular diseases.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 21 bills on Sept. 29 aimed at limiting federal immigration enforcement in the state, including a ban on officers using shock gloves and a new 25 percent tax on private detention centers.

“California is taking action to strengthen transparency, accountability, and oversight around immigration enforcement in our state,” Newsom said in a statement.

Fact: In 2005, Israel closed down all civilian Jewish settlements in Gaza, and withdrew all military units. Israel continued to monitor the borders of Gaza in an effort to keep out weapons. While successful in keeping out tanks, the Israeli’s were not successful keeping out rifles and small rockets. With two million Palestinian inhabitants, Gaza became completely self governing.

Fact: Through a combination of ballots and bullets, Hamas acquired political and governing control of Gaza in 2006. Despite millions in annual aid from the outside world, Hamas did not make Palestinian prosperity a priority. Hamas had two priorities: Indoctrinate the children of Gaza to hate Jews and Israel, and the construction of miles and miles of tunnels for the purpose of hiding, storing, and transporting soldiers and weapons.

Fact: On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded sparsely populated portions of Israel with the intention of avoiding Israeli military units as much as possible. Their objective was to find and kill / rape / torture / kidnap as many civilian men, women, and children as they could find before running back to Gaza. They kidnapped 251. They murdered 1,195. They held the captives in secret scattered locations and dared the Israeli Army to come and rescue them.

Fact: in the recorded history of urban warfare, no army has successfully minimized civilian casualties as well as the IDF. Minimizing civilian casualties was an unquestioned high priority for the IDF. Hamas, on the other hand, systematically used Palestinian civilians as human shields to protect themselves as they fought.

Fact: Gaza has never been able to feed itself. It has always been dependent on a daily parade of trucks for most of its food. Throughout the 30 month hostage rescue mission, Israel never prevented any food from entering Gaza. Starvation was never a concern for the people of Gaza. Hamas, on the other hand, routinely commandeered food trucks so that they could demand civilian cooperation by the threat of withholding food.

Fact: During the 30 month hostage rescue mission. There were civilian casualties and deaths notwithstanding extraordinary Israeli efforts to minimize such consequences. Gaza was and is a community of over 2 million. Fact: During the 30 months of alleged Israeli genocide, more babies were born in Gaza than civilians killed. When the hostage-release agreement was finally signed, the population of Gaza was higher than it was on October 7.

The accusation that Israel engaged in genocide in Gaza routinely comes from the mouths of American academics, American entertainment celebrities, Arab-American activists, far-left activists, and occasionally, Democrat politicians. American journalists routinely report and disseminate such accusations uncritically.

I remember from my school assignments, or those intelligence tests, somewhere in those years there were sections of “Too much information.” This wasn’t a reference to things like “We were so happy my husband and I had sex for the first time in months.” Or, “I have trouble buying pants because my left nut hangs lower than my right one.” Not like that at all. They’d ask questions like: Roberto has twelve marbles. He lost five. The marbles are blue. How many marbles does he have left? You’d have to pick out which bit of information was irrelevant to answering the question.

I thought at the time the point was to assess reading comprehension. But in more recent years I realize there are people who can keep drama separated from their logical thinking, and then there are people who can’t. “Too much information” is a situation that doesn’t exist, for the latter, because everything has to have an effect on the outcome.

You don’t see it with marbles and math.

But you do see it with…”Lindsay Clancy was framed. Her husband Patrick is actually the one who murdered the children. His timeline doesn’t add up. And Lindsay didn’t get the help she needed because the system failed her.”

And…”Christa Pike has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The execution failed tonight. She is in agony.”

Twelve minus five is seven. It doesn’t matter what color the marbles are.

In the past two months I’ve reported extensively on the massive migrant invasion that took place in Ceuta at the end of July. Ceuta is a Spanish enclave (and exclave) on the coast of North Africa bordered by Morocco on the southwest. It is sovereign Spanish territory, but the Moroccans have historically claimed it as part of Morocco.

On July 30 and 31, an estimated 72,000 migrants, most of them not Moroccans, crossed the border from Morocco to Ceuta by breaking through the fence or swimming around the sea barriers. Most of the invaders reportedly returned to Morocco after about a week, but thousands of them — nobody is sure exactly how many — remain in Spanish territory, camping on the beach or in public parks.

In the days following the initial wave of migration, observers who asserted that the Moroccan authorities played a role in the invasion were dismissed as paranoid conspiracy theorists. Now a report by Spanish intelligence has confirmed that the conspiracy existed, and that both Moroccan intelligence and the Moroccan military were involved.

Right up until the release of the Spanish intelligence report, the government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez vigorously insisted that the Moroccan government had nothing to do with the migrant invasion of Ceuta. The only question that remains is: Was the Spanish government simply ignorant and incompetent, or did it connive with the Moroccan government in importing the invaders?

Only time will tell.

Oregon State University researchers have developed a new family of advanced materials that convert water into energy-producing hydrogen using only sunlight, offering a potential clean-energy alternative to solar panels and concentrated solar energy solutions.

The OSU College of Science team said their new approach, which enables high-speed, high-efficiency hydrogen production, could provide a solar-powered source of hydrogen for automotive fuel cells and other chemical manufacturing processes.

Her lawyers said late on Wednesday that she had been taken away from the prison in an ambulance and was being treated at a hospital, but they said they had not been told about her condition.

The Netherlands has dumped plans to tax unrealised gains on shares, bonds and cryptocurrency after warnings it could prompt an investor exodus.

Rob Jetten, the prime minister, a liberal who took office in February, will instead introduce a more conventional capital gains tax (CGT) on actual profits at a rate of 36pc.

The switch will cost the government €15bn (£13bn) over the next eight years. But Mr Jetten hopes to claw that back by cutting the tax-free allowance for capital gains, bringing more small-time investors into the net.

I guess not spending more than you’re taking in wasn’t an option. Of course, with government,  it never it.

For aerospace aficionados, it’s like we have entered into an alternate dream reality. The idea that we are seriously talking about the possibility of bringing back the SR-71 Blackbird to flight status is hard to comprehend, but amazingly this is where we are at. The biggest question I am getting about all this is why? We touched on the likely primary answer to that in our original reporting — high-speed is back in tactical vogue, and the Blackbird can sustain it in a realm of great interest, between Mach 3 and 4, and do it over and over again. It can also carry very large things and even launch them off its back at those extreme speeds. But those are not the only potential reasons for taking on such a gargantuan, high-profile, and costly technical challenge. Learning from the journey itself could be just as valuable as the actual flight test data a revived SR-71 produces.

The Blackbird was as close to alien tech as it gets over 60 years ago, and even today, we have nothing like it in known operation. Yet it has been dormant for nearly three decades. Much of the expertise that built, supported, and operated it is sadly gone. But the exercises of reverse engineering and leveraging breakthroughs in additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping, as well as injecting new material sciences, avionics, propulsion and other technologies where applicable, and above all else, building the digital toolkit to make it all happen as fast and efficiently as it can be done, are all of extreme learning value.

I would not be surprised if a ‘digital twin’ is being created right now of the SR-71 using NASA’s SR-71 tail number 844 — the jet in question that has mysteriously disappeared from its display pad. Once such a model exists, breakthroughs in digital engineering can be brought to bear to see how fast the program can be accelerated, both in terms of development and flight testing. This could include not only getting the SR-71 back in the air, but improving its performance and reliability, possibly substantially, using all the new technologies we have today. It’s even possible a clone of sorts leveraging all these advances could be built using digital engineering tools.

As Americans gear up for another tumultuous midterm election year, voters should be aware that the most notorious billionaire in politics is still actively trying to bend society into his own personal plaything from an entire menu of political and sociocultural angles.

George Soros, who has emerged as one of the top political donors (again) for the midterms, has dedicated his massive fortune over the years to exploiting the vehicles of media, climate change, terrorism, education, elections, censorship and lawfare to be agents of his dark “open society” worldview.

To that end, Soros has poured well over $32 billion to ensure his Open Society Foundations (OSF) remain a well-oiled machine to ensure that the “arc of history” is foreseeably bent to his will now with his more radical son Alex taking the throne of the empire.

The elder Soros once boasted that “[i]t is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” according to The Independent in 1993. This is not just the musings of a billionaire overdosing on his own ego. He has developed an international reputation for putting his money where his mouth is. In fact, Morton Abramowitz, a former head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, once referred to Soros as “the only man in the United States who has his own foreign policy and can implement it.”

To examine lawfare, we must consider the current context, which is this: we are at war, a cold civil war, against a domestic regime which wants to overthrow America. It is correct to call it a “war,” and not just an unusually wide divide, because the contest is between two moral orders. From a given moral order there flows a given set of laws, values, customs, and other aspects of culture. Obviously, a society can have only one of each. The moral order of the enemy regime rests on group outcome equality. The moral order of our regime, on the other hand, rests on individual merit. These two moral orders – individual merit versus group quotas – are utterly irreconcilable. You can’t admit people to college (or anything else) based on both merit and group quotas. It’s one or the other. This is why today the two political parties can agree on almost nothing. The Left knows that because it knows that it is at war. Thus, it plays by wartime rules. The Right, on the other hand, does not know it and so continues to play by peacetime rules, which include trying to reach across the aisle, a sucker’s game in a war.

One of the most powerful weapons in the Left’s arsenal is Lawfare. But we on the Right don’t understand this; we don’t understand either the nature or power of the Left’s Lawfare.

It’s time we learn.

Legacy media outlets have been spinning tall tales about Texas ICE agents in recent months, trying to stoke backlash against immigration enforcement. But they’re not telling the full story.

Of course not, They never do. They actively avoid it.

Two shootings of illegal aliens in particular have garnered extensive coverage: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, during July, and Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in Austin, during September. In both cases, mainstream media cast the men as innocent victims and questioned the agents’ use of force.

But the coverage failed to consider what actually led to the shootings in the first place.

Power Line.

Through Immigration Court, illegal aliens have access to four levels of appeals. In addition, through federal district court, illegal aliens have access to three levels of appeals.

There is no corner of American jurisprudence where actual citizens have access to that amount of due process.

During the Biden years, illegal aliens streamed into America by the millions, without following any laws. Biden-appointed judges insist that those same aliens be afforded infinite levels of due process, all at American taxpayer expense.

Oh, they’re so oppressed!

Even amidst tragic news that at least 18 Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt state of Plateau were killed by Fulani jihadists over the past week, there is reason for hope: The nation’s government has finally bowed to pressure and taken concrete action against the plague of anti-Christian violence.

Because of pressure started by President Donald Trump’s campaign to stop the persecution of Christians, the government of Nigeria finally responded with commensurate force to stop these latest attacks in the Middle Belt from turning into something much worse, likely saving hundreds of Christians’ lives.

In the middle of September, local reporters covering persecution in Nigeria—like Masara Kim with Truth Nigeria—began documenting a massive build-up of Fulani jihadists in central Plateau state, one of the epicenters of persecution against Christians in the country. This was not another routine gathering of dozens of attackers, but nearly a thousand armed fighters amassing in the area, coming from all different regions in Nigeria.

The rationale for this terrorist build-up is murky, but it could have been related to reports that a major Fulani militant leader had just been arrested by local forces, or to general attempts to destabilize the country during a presidential election season. Whatever the reason, it appeared that the largest attack on this community in years would be launched imminently.

For context, the last time a coordinated attack of such magnitude occurred was Christmas Eve 2023, when militias devastated 25 villages, leaving almost 200 Christians dead, with pastors beheaded and churches burned to the ground. Over the following months, more than a thousand were killed as the communities were left to fend for themselves, effectively defenseless.

While the American military action in Iran has been a source of many benefits to the U.S., a collateral negative effect has been the increase in world oil prices and the associated increase in gas prices at the pump for U.S. consumers. However, things may not be as dire as many would lead you to believe.

To understand the real state of things, examining U.S. gas prices over the past two decades provides invaluable insight—and it allows for a more informed and rational discussion of the pros and cons of this Iran conflict.

The table below documents the average gasoline prices during recent U.S. administrations before factoring in inflation. The average price of gas during Trump 1.0 was about 48 cents per gallon less than under Obama. Average gas prices during Trump 2.0 have been about 9 cents per gallon less than during the Biden administration.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and President Donald Trump himself, all Republicans, have alluded to the idea of extending refugee status to Canadian Jews who fear the spike in antisemitism in their country.

Observation: Throughout the summer and fall of a midterm year, if the President of the United States happens to be a Republican and male, we marinate in a stew of high profile “news” stories that emotionally divide males and females. And the opinions expressed about these stories would seem to weigh in on an imagined controversy about which of the two sexes should be…something.

No one actually says “Get rid of all the men” or “Get the women back in the kitchen where they belong.” But, the observations I see people making would be pretty useless, and I think even according to them, if the issue under consideration is anything other than “Get rid of this or that sex once and for all.” It’s really a sad thing. We can’t do without the one or the other, we need both. And I think anyone with a working brain understands this.

“Working brain” excludes most proglodytes.

Are women oppressed, really? Weighed down by a “patriarchy”? Suffering from some ingrained bias that’s loud about female misdeeds like murdering your own kids, but silent in other situations where males are the transgressors? Hmmm. It’s hard to see any group of people as oppressed, when some among them seek to win arguments simply by scolding, clearly accustomed to their class instantly winning arguments merely by expressing disapproval. Is that what oppressed people do?

We should all be so ‘oppressed’.

past decade, set the internet ablaze with a bombshell essay detailing the fallout of her decision to send her daughter to underperforming inner-city schools. In the lengthy missive, Hannah-Jones ponders whether she “betrayed” her daughter by forcing her to attend them, ultimately sacrificing the education of her only child in the service of a murky and unquantifiable racial justice framework.

Hannah-Jones’s heartfelt and candid confessions, such as the discovery of her daughter’s inability to produce basic writing or even solve fractions, ignited a flurry of discourse among the commentariat. Some praised Hannah-Jones for being so transparent about the failures of her parenting decisions. Others lauded the writer for actually living by the “diversity” and “equity” principles she publicly champions. However, others lambasted her for ignoring her daughter’s repeated pleas to leave the school, which she described as a chaotic madhouse replete with fighting students and teachers who did not grade homework.

Hannah-Jones’s decision is not unique. Black families across the United States are often confronted with similar choices about their children’s education: Do we send our child to the “best” school, or to a “diverse” one? The former would likely provide a superior education, though the child might feel isolated among their peers. The latter would place the student in an environment with less social friction, but typically at the expense of educational rigour, and amid a dysfunctional culture.

Twenty-eight individuals in 12 different states have been charged with election interference or illegal voting in federal elections in the past two weeks, the U.S. Department of Justice says.

The effort to root out illegal, noncitizen voting has come as part of a large-scale move by the Trump administration to ensure election integrity prior to this year’s midterm elections.

This effort has extended to different states across the nation. On Monday, the DOJ announced charges against 12 individuals relating to election crimes committed in seven different states. This comes after the department, on Sept. 18, announced charges against 16 individuals, including three in Georgia, for illegal voting.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security commented on the partnership with the DOJ to root out election fraud across the country.

Reges sued the University of Washington, claiming it discriminated against his viewpoint when he published the mock land acknowledgement in a syllabus. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in his favor, and the university agreed earlier this month to pay $600,000 to settle the case, without admitting wrongdoing.

Britain now has more illegal Channel arrivals under the Labour government, which has been in power two years, than it has soldiers in the British Army.

Home Office figures put small-boat arrivals since Labour took office on 4 July 2024 at 83,279. The regular Army stands at 83,000.

On Wednesday alone, 781 people came ashore – the worst single day since Andy Burnham replaced Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister in July. The first three days of the week delivered 1,085 arrivals. Across 809 days of Labour government, that works out at roughly 103 people a day.

Pupils are being handed headlines such as “how many more migrants can we take?” and instructed to rewrite them in a cheerier register – “migrant workers bring fresh hope to British economy” is the model answer. The materials describe the exercise as “an opportunity to explore what is positive and good about migration.”
