City Garbage Collection Is Finally Getting the Disruption It Deserves

3rd October 2020

Read it.

Trash cans are a ubiquitous, and malodorous, fact of urban life, but a few dozen cities around the world are experimenting with eliminating them.

In their place, local governments are installing chutes which connect to an underground system of pneumatic tubes that use high-pressure air to woosh garbage away to a handful of centralized collection points.

I have my doubts.

Protect Elderly Votes Project Aims to Thwart ‘Ballot-Harvesting’ Fraud

2nd October 2020

Read it.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the push for widespread mail-in voting and other alternatives to going to the polls ahead of the presidential election has increased the risk of vote fraud through “ballot harvesting,” and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, advocates warn.

To protect seniors, especially those with physical impairments, the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) is stepping up its efforts to prevent what it calls “Stranger Danger” through its Protect Elderly Votes project. The ACRU is a Naples, Florida-based right-leaning nonprofit dedicated to what it says is safeguarding the liberties enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Congress Extends Pork Another Year

2nd October 2020

Read it.

In a move that will surprise no one at all, Congress has extended federal funding for highways and public transit until September 30, 2021. Such federal funding was set to end on September 30, 2020, and rather than revise the law to take into account the latest trends and events, Congress simply extended the existing law for another year.

It’s not like there was any new information, such as a pandemic, widespread forest fires, or the acceleration of urban decentralization, that might lead Congress to change its funding priorities anyway. Or, to be more accurate, it’s not like any new information would actually persuade Congress to change its funding priorities, as those priorities are driven by ideology more than actual facts.

Gates, Kissinger, and Our Dystopian Future

2nd October 2020

Read it.

Can we agree that there are two types of Covid-19?

The first type, is Covid-19 ,”The Virus”, which is a fairly mild infection that most people don’t even realize they’ve contracted. They remain either asymptomatic or have slight flu-like symptoms that go away after a week or so. A tiny sliver of the population– that are mainly-older, vulnerable people with underlying health conditions– can develop complications, become seriously ill and die. But, according to most analysis, the chances of dying from Covid are roughly between 1 in every 200 to 1 in every 1,000 people. (CDC-IFR- 0.26%) In other words, Covid is not the Spanish Flu, not the Black Plague and the Genocidal Planetary Killer Virus it was cracked up to be. It kills more people than the annual influenza, but not significantly more.

The second type of Covid-19, is Covid “The Political Contrivance” or, rather, CODENAME: Operation Virus Identification 20 19. This iteration of the Covid phenom relates to the manner in which a modestly-lethal respiratory pathogen has been inflated into a perennial public health crisis in order to implement economic and societal changes that would otherwise be impossible. This is the political side of Covid, which is much more difficult to define since it relates to the ambiguous agenda of powerful elites who are using the infection to conceal their real intentions. Many critics believe that Covid is a vehicle the Davos Crowd is using to launch their authoritarian New World Order. Others think it has more to do with Climate Change, that is, rather than build consensus among the world leaders for mandatory carbon reductions, global mandarins have simply imposed lockdowns that sharply reduce economic activity across-the-board. This, in fact, has lowered emissions significantly, but at great cost to most of humanity. Covid restrictions have triggered a sharp uptick in suicides, clinical depression, child abuse, domestic violence, alcoholism and drug abuse. The list goes on and on. Also, it has left economies everywhere in a shambles, increasing unemployment and homelessness exponentially, while setting the stage for massive famines in undeveloped countries around the world. Even so, key players in the Covid crisis– like mastermind Bill Gates– continue to marvel at impact these onerous restrictions have had on emissions.

Will Trump Derangement Syndrome Outlast Trump?

2nd October 2020

Steve Sailer explores the future.

Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff have documented that America appears to be undergoing a mental health crisis dating back to about the beginning of the Great Awokening around 2013: i.e., before Trump. My guess is that the tension generated by the increasingly crazy things you are supposed to believe in order to not get canceled by the Woke is taking its toll. Trump has driven people even crazier by seeming to be immune to the requirements of polite society to be politically correct.

But is Trump really just the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Great Awokening? Will the Two-Minutes Hates be retired when Trump is no longer President?

More than 1,000 Honduran migrants have crossed illegally into Guatemala in a bid to reach the United States as a major new caravan formed barely a month ahead of U.S. presidential elections, Guatemalan authorities reported on Thursday.

No sign that the Guatemalan authorities are trying to turn them back. That sounds like an Unfriendly Act toward the U.S. Obama would just apologize, but I think Trump might have something different in mind.

What Rings Comey’s Bell: The Former FBI Director’s Casual Testimony Confirms the Worst About His Tenure

1st October 2020

Jonathan Turley.

In his long-awaited testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony proved as casual as his appearance in an open shirt from his home office. Comey was hammered with embarrassing findings of errors under his watch in the handling of the Russian investigation, including the reliance on information that FBI agents warned might be Russian disinformation supplied by a Russian agent. After years of investigation, the FBI was unable to show that a single Trump official conspired or colluded with the Russians. Instead, investigations found extensive errors, irregular and criminal conduct, and statements of intense bias by key FBI figures. Yet, Comey proceeded to give what amounted to a series of shrugs in either denying any recollection of such information or deflecting responsibility to others.

Comey was asked about an intelligence report suggesting that Hillary Clinton personally approved an effort “to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee.” The report was reportedly sufficiently serious to be included in a briefing of President Barack Obama. However, when asked about his knowledge, Comey again shrugged and said it “didn’t ring a bell.” That’s it.

Jonathan Turley is a Professor of Law at George Washington University.

Democrats Lying About “White Supremacists”

1st October 2020

Read it.

The democrat party left is systematically using its control of the media to fabricate a completely imaginary racist and dangerously violent right-wing movement supporting Donald Trump and poised to initiate street combat at his command.

It’s total bullshit, designed to establish a kind of co-equal guilt and responsibility on the part of Trump and his Republican supporters for all the violence and destruction going on all over the country at the hands of BLM and ANTIFA thugs. This is nothing other than the classic Big Lie. But note how Biden even shamelessly references Kyle Rittenhouse as a case of “White Supremacism.”

There are more Somali immigrants (85,700) in the United States than there are ‘white supremacists’.

There are more black criminals in the United States (over 450,000) than there are ‘white supremacists’.

An “Ecotopian” Future: Can California’s Green Extremism Go National?

1st October 2020

Joel Kotkin.

One is often at a loss to explain California to people from other planets—like, say, earth. This is a state that issues mandates for electrification of everything while reducing its generating capacity. It blames devastating fires on climate change, without taking the blame for forestry practices that helped make the seasonal fires much worse. In California, pot is legal, but owning a car with a gas engine, however clean, may soon not be, and climate skeptics of any stripe face opprobrium, consignment to obscurity, and—if they have assets—court dates.

To understand how a state could adopt what often seem insane policies, impoverishing its people while claiming the mantle of social justice, you need to consult the state’s unique history. California is just not like other places, and you won’t get anywhere without understanding that. With few navigable rivers and a lack of water near its coast and fertile valleys, the state largely engineered its own rise. “Science is the mother of California,” said the University of California’s second president, Daniel Coit Gilman. Largely dominated by desert, flammable dry chaparral and high mountains, California depended on bringing water to its bone-dry coast, tapping electricity from distant dams, and accommodating a massive influx of new residents with largely suburban housing.

Report: NYPD Floyd Protest Handling Violated ‘Human Rights’

1st October 2020

An NYPD curfew crackdown on protesters in the Bronx in June violated “international human rights” and was maybe the department’s “most aggressive and abusive responses” to demonstrations in response to the death of George Floyd, according to a new report from the Human Rights Watch.

NYPD officers in the Bronx closed in more than 300 protesters using a technique known as “kettling” until the 8 p.m. ET curfew came and went June 4. After the curfew expired, the police began “whaling their batons, beating people from car tops, shoving them down to the ground, and firing pepper spray in their faces,” according to the Human Rights Watch report.
