Pennsylvania AG Shapiro on fixing the Electoral College: “We need to make sure that the will of the people and a national popular vote is what governs future elections.” By SHAWN FLEETWOOD For the left, labeling Republicans as ‘extremists’ is a long-term goal configured to chase serious conservatives out of government. Pennsylvania’s Democrat gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro is parroting rhetoric used by President Joe Biden and the partisan Jan. 6 Committee to cast his Republican opponent Doug Mastriano as a “dangerous extremist,” in a continuation of Democrats’ years-long operation to win elections by smearing their political enemies as unelectable. During a  recent interview  on MSNBC, Shapiro claimed “without question” that Mastriano has made “tearing down” the country’s “democratic institutions the focus of his campaign” and that the Republican state senator has talked about “taking away [citizens’] right to vote.” “We are the candidate and part...

By DAVID HARSANYI If you only value speech when it comports with your worldview, you don’t value it at all. Only days after the American left was lamenting the fall of Italy to the  alleged  fascist Giorgia Meloni, New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern  told  world leaders assembled at the United Nations that unfettered free expression was one of the greatest threats facing humanity. In her speech, cloaked in the same trendy euphemisms popular among American progressives — and probably familiar to the depots and theocrats in attendance — she warned that the internet had been corrupted and weaponized by bad actors who spread mis- and disinformation and hateful ideologies. And the only way we can stop this “weapon of war” is to come together and create a set of “rules and transparency.” As our president might say, no right is  abs olute. Or, as our former president might say, disinformation is  killing people . Ardern went on to argue ev...

By Cam Edwards Buying a gun in California isn’t a simple or fast process thanks to the numerous gun control measures that anti-gun politicians have put in place over the past few decades, but thankfully the state’s draconian restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms didn’t interfere with one woman’s ability to use a firearm to defend herself and her husband from a stranger who tried to come inside their home. According to authorities, the woman in question had just picked up her pistol the day before, after waiting the 10 days required under California law between the time of purchase and when gun owners can actually take possession of their newly-bought firearm. Little did she realize that she would soon end up using the gun to fend off an attack on her husband in their own home. A Patterson woman who had gotten a handgun just the previous day fatally shot a stranger who was grappling with her husband Saturday night at the door of their home, the Stanislaus County s...

By Brandon Smith I have noted in the past that criminals tend to brag about their criminality when they believe there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Frankly, in their narcissism many of them can’t help but revel in the moment and let everyone know how “superior” they are to the rest of us. We witnessed many moments like this from elitists within globalists institutions the past couple of years at the height of the pandemic pandemonium. There were people like the globalist academics at MIT proclaiming that we were “never going back to normal” and that we were going to have to accept the loss of many of our freedoms for the rest of our lives in order to combat the spread of covid. There were people like Klaus Schwab declaring the beginning of the “Great Reset” and the launch of what the Davos crowd calls the “4 th Industrial Revolution.” There have also been MANY political leaders like Joe Biden that strut around on the media stage accusing ideological opponents (conserv...

By BARENAKEDISLAM Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law have begun this new academic year by amending bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any speakers who support Israel or Zionism. In America, more and more college campuses, heavily influenced by Muslim students, are trying to become “Israel-free zones,” free of the taint of what virulent anti-Semites like Congressmuslim Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), slander as an “apartheid state.” Jewish Journal – Kenneth L. Marcus  (h/t Mary C)   If it wasn’t so frightening, one might be able to recognize the irony in the sight of campus progressives trying so hard to signal progressive virtue that they fall victim to a deeper moral shame. Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law, my own  alma mater , have begun this new academic year by  amending  bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any spea...

Rats fed GM yeast-derived protein soy leghemoglobin – the burger’s key ingredient – developed signs of toxicity. By Claire Robinson and Dr Michael Antoniou The Impossible Burger is a plant-based burger, the key ingredient of which is a protein called soy leghemoglobin (SLH for short), derived from genetically modified (GM) yeast. It's already being sold in restaurants and supermarkets in the US. In 2019 the manufacturing company, Impossible Foods, applied for permission to market the burger in the EU and the UK. However, the results of a rat feeding study commissioned by Impossible Foods and carried out with SLH suggest that the burger may not be safe to eat. SLH is the substance that gives the burger its meaty taste and makes it appear to bleed like meat when cut. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially refused to sign off on the safety of SLH when first approached by the company. The rat feeding study results suggest that the agency’s concerns were justified....
