WHEN STATE GOVERNMENT IS A RACKET: California Hides Identity Of ‘High-Ranking’ Cop Who Abused ‘Confidential’ State Database.
A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE:
I laugh when I think about how horrified leftists are with current crop of Republicans.
You people have no idea what’s coming. The ones we have now are puppy dogs compared to the purposeful, angry men who are about to get involved in politics in a few years.

DEPENDS ON WHO THE ACCUSED PERPETRATORS ARE.
Left-wing activists will chant for every "abolitionist" slogan under the sun — defund the police etc. — but somehow when it comes to sex crime or Rape, they suddenly turn into the most bloodthirsty prosecutor and cop-lovers, and start demanding to vastly expand the prison state

ALEX BERENSON: A funny thing’s happening now that (almost) nobody gets mRNA jabs anymore. “Because so many Covid deaths occurred in people who were very old and sick and would likely have died in a year or two from their underlying illnesses, epidemiologists predicted as Covid began in 2020 that deaths would fall below normal when it ended. They called that potential future mortality lull the ‘pull-forward effect.'”
IT’S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THIS IS SATIRE: “I know it was about me, because everything is.”
I was mid-hip thrust when I found out @Shanemgillis had called me a whore. Technically I found out four hours later, when I reviewed the footage of Saturday Night Live.

HOW MANY GOVERNMENT-PUSHED TECHNOLOGIES ARE LIKE THIS? The old light bulbs are coming back. “LED light is altogether different, making light through a narrow electronic process that spikes strong in the blue part of the light spectrum, and emits almost no infrared at all. Even worse, it flickers rapidly, switching on and off hundreds of times per second. The flicker is too fast to register with our conscious eye, but it is not too fast to wreak havoc on our nervous system.”
The government pushed incandescent bulbs out. Now the Department of Energy is backing their return. Why? The science around artificial light, blue-light exposure, and what it may mean for our eyes and health is becoming impossible to ignore..https://t.co/mNUS7m01oV

I should say that the quality of the light doesn’t bother me, and I notice flickers — I can literally see the flicker in fluorescent lights even when they’re working properly — and I appreciate how long they last. The InstaWife, however, doesn’t much like any non-incandescent light.
DAVID STROM: Does Reality Matter? Not in the ‘Mattress Girl’ Case, and Not in Cornell 7 Case Either. It’s all pre-election agitprop for lefty women. “What is striking about these cases, as with the case that Theo Jordan refers to (the hoax of residential school mass graves), is the willingness of the cultural elite institutions, and especially the media, to ignore the evidence and stick with a Narrative™ despite the complete lack of evidence to support it.” Truth-seeking isn’t their job, and they don’t see it as their job.
