YES:
"Without evidence" were the buzz words in every single news report about suspicions of voter fraud in the 20/20 election. The words were in fact inserted without evidence. Claims of malfeasance were dismissed without being examined.

Key bit:
There are three basic responses to any crisis that reflects poorly on the left.
1) Shut up. You can’t say that. Accusations of racism fall under this category.
2) Denial and dismissal. “Without evidence.”
3) Utterly ignore or actively censor.
“Combinations of those tactics may be applied in any given situation. Actually examining or addressing the claims is not part of the playbook.”
DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Oregon Anti-Hunting Animal Rights Ballot Initiative Targets Hunting, Fishing, Ranching and More.
IP 28 amends Chapter 167 of the Oregon Revised Statutes by removing or narrowing exemptions that currently protect lawful hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock husbandry, commercial meat production, lawful research, wildlife management and other accepted practices. It reclassifies responsible and regulated activities as criminal animal abuse, neglect or assault.
Oregon’s current laws recognize the clear distinction between cruelty and regulated traditional activities such as hunting deer, catching salmon, raising livestock or conducting standard veterinary and animal husbandry practices. IP 28 blurs the distinctions and creates criminal liability where Oregon law now recognizes permitted conduct.
This is an anti-hunting measure. Sponsors argue wildlife should receive the same protections as companion animals, livestock and animals in research settings. But they are hiding the real meaning. It may sound reasonable, or even narrow to some voters, but the real effects are far broader. They are striking at the legal foundations permitting Oregonians to hunt, fish, manage wildlife, raise livestock and produce food.
Let’s see if Oregon voters are self-destructive enough to vote in favor.

FROM THE DEPT. OF JUST NOT GETTING IT: Europe unveils tech sovereignty package amid growing concerns over reliance on U.S. tech: ‘We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch.’
The European Commission on Wednesday proposed a slew of rules intended to bolster homegrown chips, AI and cloud services as the bloc scrambles to develop tech sovereignty amid huge reliance on products and services from the U.S. and China.
The proposals, which must be approved by all 27 member states, include new actions to bolster advanced chip manufacturing and homegrown cloud computing.
As geopolitical tensions across the globe have ramped up, there have been growing calls for Europe to diversify away from non-European providers of critical tech, including U.S. tech companies, which currently dominate the European market.
“We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running, our energy grids stable and our services secure,” Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement.
Instead of repealing the innovation-strangling regulations that have made Europe an also-ran in high tech, they’ll impose even more rules.

COLD WAR II: New Mystery Submarine Signals China’s Rapid Undersea Expansion.
China is launching submarines at a pace unmatched by any other nation. Its latest design, a distinctive and innovative vessel that dispenses with the traditional sail, marks another step in the evolution of an increasingly capable and technologically advanced submarine force. With little official information available, understanding the purpose and capabilities of this new class depends largely on intelligence gathering and expert analysis.
As Western navies struggle to build more than one or two submarines concurrently, China continues to pump them out at an increasing rate. They have launched around 15-20 in the past five years, including at least 8 new classes.
Beijing is building quickly, iterating quickly, and one presumes, learning quickly.

More:
The administration is moving enforcement from geography into transaction permission. The question becomes less “who crossed the border?” and more “who is allowed to operate inside the financial system?”
That is a much more powerful enforcement layer.
A person can avoid a checkpoint. A person can move cities. A person can use sympathetic local systems. A person can live in a sanctuary jurisdiction. But modern life requires payments, bank access, cards, transfers, payroll, rent, app-based services, benefits, and digital identity.
Once access to those rails becomes conditional on legal status, the border follows the person everywhere.
That is the phase shift.
Read the whole thing.

Tough question, right?
America has delivered endless dreams to hard-working patriots, immigrants seeking a brighter future and those who never stopped reaching for their stars.
And then there’s Swift. She’s the biggest pop star on the planet, a 30-something artist who has taken full advantage of the freedom and opportunity America offers. To her credit, she’s made the most of every chance her country gave her.
Now, it’s time to return the favor, but it won’t be easy.
It wasn’t easy becoming one of the world’s biggest pop stars, either.

VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE: How China’s wealthy sidestep strict rules to get money out of the country.
China’s capital controls remain among the world’s strictest. Individuals are generally limited to transferring US$50,000 overseas each year, while emigrants are given a one-time opportunity to move their assets abroad.
Concerns about China’s economic outlook and a drive by President Xi Jinping to reduce inequality have prompted many wealthy families to seek a financial foothold overseas. Households, institutions and companies moved a record US$807 billion, roughly, out of the country last year, according to estimates from the Institute of International Finance.
But demand for overseas assets, as well as the rapid accumulation of private wealth, has fuelled a vast underground industry dedicated to circumventing capital controls. While the true scale of illicit capital flight is impossible to quantify, court records, regulatory disclosures and interviews with industry participants point to sprawling networks that move billions of US dollars offshore each year.
This has drawn increasing scrutiny from authorities. China’s latest crackdown on overseas brokers accused of helping mainland clients trade offshore is the latest sign that regulators are intensifying efforts to monitor cross-border capital and ensure tax compliance on such money flows.
Here are some of the most common ways mainlanders circumvent the government’s strict rules to get money out of China.
Money, to borrow a phrase, finds a way.
