HUD Pushes Voter Registration Drives in Public Housing Under Biden’s Executive Order

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will engage in voter registration efforts that in some cases allow mass collection of voter registration forms by public housing officials, raising concerns about the potential for voter fraud among other legal issues.

HUD’s voter registration drive comes as part of the “all-of-government” approach described in an executive order from President Joe Biden.

The Democrats invented the urban political machine. Why not stick with what works?

Wanted! Brave Reporter on the ‘Right-Wing Media’

27th April 2022

Read it.

Back in the old days, newspapers assigned reporters to beats like Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and Health and Human Services. Now it seems like the new beats are about covering threats, foreign and domestic – ideological threats. So The New York Times has a “climate” department. Michael Bender was recently hired to report on “Trumpism,” and the Times is seeking a political reporter on “Right Wing Media.”

In their job notice on LinkedIn, the Times warned about “the right-wing media ecosystem that now serves many conservative Americans who no longer rely on the mainstream media to inform themselves.”

The newspaper that endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president defines itself as the “mainstream media.”

Times Square Billboard Exposes Taylor Lorenz for Doxxing Libs of TikTok

26th April 2022

Two political commentators teamed up this week to rent a Times Square billboard exposing Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz for a report in which she revealed personal information about the Twitter user who runs the Libs of TikTok account.

Commentator and podcast host Tim Pool on Tuesday tweeted a video of the billboard, which reads, “Hey [Washington Post], democracy dies in darkness. That’s why we’re shining a light on you. Taylor Lorenz doxxed @libsoftiktok.”

The biter bit, so to speak.

Anti-Semitic Incidents Hit All-Time High as Assaults on Jews Surge

26th April 2022

Read it.

Anti-Semitic harassment, vandalism, and assault was up 34 percent in 2021, with more than 2,700 incidents reported. New Jersey and New York had the most incidents ever—370 and 416, respectively—and New York City alone had 51 assaults—a 325 percent increase from 2020. Most took place in May 2021, when Hamas initiated an 11-day conflict with Israel, firing thousands of rockets on the Jewish state.

Assailants “choked, chased, threatened or struck [victims] with knives, cars, fireworks, or other objects,” according to the ADL. One shot a Jewish man with a BB gun as he was walking on a sidewalk. Another who was wielding a knife injured two parents and their one-year-old child. In Rockland County, N.Y., where nearly a third of the residents are Jewish, a speaker at a community event said, “If I run one of them over … of course I’m going to back over them again.” Many assaults and incidents of vandalism happened at synagogues and schools.

When terrorists randomly attacked Israeli civilians in recent weeks, some surprising voices reacted with horror. The string of attacks that killed 14 Israelis drew condemnations from Turkey, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, among others.

To top anchors on Qatar’s state-owned Al Jazeera network, however, the attacks were cause for celebrations and praise.

Avoid religions that make a virtue of killing random innocent people.

Restricting speech on Facebook has long been a political concern of the bright and beautiful. Twitter, though? That’s more personal. Back in its earlier days it was a bit of a hugbox — filled with Dr Who references, puns and Stephen Fry. Free speech was defended hotly, such as when a British user was prosecuted for joking that he would blow up Robin Hood Airport if it didn’t stop cancelling flights.

Yet as Twitter expanded — and especially as Brexit and Trump inched closer — darker, ruder and more dissident voices started to proliferate. The media, political and academic classes had never been faced with such hostility, or seen average schmucks exceed their status. When columnists log onto Twitter to find a bunch of random people calling them stupid, or see the opinions of a random person with a preposterous pseudonym have far more reach than theirs, it pains them less because of its real-world effects than because it wounds their egos.

The Virtual Theater Returns

26th April 2022

ZMan peers behind the curtain.

One of the great truths of American politics is that for the last few generations one side has been motivated by dreams of destroying their enemies, while the other side dreams of befriending the enemy. The people we call the Left in America are the former case and this is their primary definition. Their ideology changes, but the one constant is their desire to clear the field of their enemies. The other side is the Right, which exists to find some sort of accommodation with their friends on the Left.

This impulse to seek a compromise is why American politics has followed a familiar pattern since the Civil War. The Left proposes some novelty and the Right resists, always trying to reason with them. In the end they always cave. As Robert Lewis Dabney observed a century ago, “it (conservatism) demurs to each aggression of the progressive party and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation.”

Harvard Astrophysicist Says Alien-Tech Crashed Into The Pacific Ocean, And Now He Wants To Recover It

26th April 2022

Read it.

Astrophysicist Avi Loeb thinks that an interplanetary object that crashed into the Earth in 2014 was some kind of spaceship. His thesis is controversial in the science community.

According to information released last week by the United States Space Command (USSC), the object indeed came from another star system. The projectile – which sped across the sky off the shore of Manus Island, Papua New Guinea – was determined to be a meteor by the agency.

I’m sure Putin is involved somehow, with Trump as his sock-puppet.

FBI May Have Made Off With $500 Million In Lost Civil War Gold, Treasure Hunter Group Alleges

26th April 2022

Read it.

A group of treasure hunters is suing the Department of Justice over “several tons of buried Civil War-era gold” that they claim the FBI may have found and made off with. The haul was supposedly lost or stolen during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, according to local lore.

The group is called Finders Keepers – and they they wrote in a court filing last week that the FBI has failed to turn over records on its search for the gold. Previously, these records were said to have included 17 videos, but the government is now claiming only 4 such videos exist.

The FBI took place in a March 2018 dig at the supposed site of the gold, but claims they came up with nothing.

Scott Jennings Schools Leftist CNN Panel on DeSantis Punishing Disney

25th April 2022

Read it.

During CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, CNN analyst Scott Jennings was the only guest on the panel segment that dared to push back on his co-panelists who were trashing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for punishing Disney over their support for grooming children.

“Republicans are really unhappy with some of these corporations in Georgia, in Florida, and elsewhere who weighed into these issues with aggressive stupidity. And that CEOs of these companies, who call up like Ron DeSantis, like the CEO of Disney did, they haven’t read the law,” Jennings shrewdly pointed out. Noting that Disney simply parroted talking points provided to it by the left.
