Now on table: Regulating Google, says Trump adviser - WND

Now on table: Regulating Google, says Trump adviser - WND:
The Media Research Center found the problem at Twitter, Facebook, Google and YouTube is “far more troubling than most conservatives realize.”
For example, “Project Veritas recently had caught Twitter staffers admitting on hidden camera that they had been censoring conservatives through a technique known as shadow banning, where users think their content is getting seen widely, but it’s not.
And Facebook’s “Trending Feed” was found by Gizmodo to be exhibiting bias.
“It had detailed claims by former employees that Facebook’s news curators had been instructed to hide conservative content from the ‘trending’ section, which supposedly only features news users find compelling.”
Blacklisted were the Conservative Political Action Conference and Rand Paul.
And at Google?

When morons run your city-Taxpayers on the hook AGAIN!!-----PEAK Training Academy owner loses lease at Walker Arena Annex | MLive.com

PEAK Training Academy owner loses lease at Walker Arena Annex | MLive.com

• This is the same Muskegon city manager (and his city council) who just got a raise and his college loans paid off.

• City now on hook for $165,000.
• Both "Angels" and "Builders" too smart for this disaster. 
• And... why is the city funding competition to all the other health clubs in the county?

MUSKEGON, MI - City officials recently voted to terminate a lease agreement with the company operating the PEAK Training Academy in the LC Walker Arena...

The deal also leaves the city on the hook for $165,000 as it pays off PEAK's debts to two local investors, and takes up his utility payments, which were valued in 2015 at $15,000 annually.

...The PEAK Training Academy was established in 2016 and is located in the 6,000-square-foot arena annex. 

...Williams' creditors were the Muskegon Angels investment group and developers Muskegon Quality Builders, Peterson said. 
The Muskegon Angels helped purchase equipment for the facility, while Muskegon Quality Builders helped get the building ready for commercial use.
According to the termination agreement, the city now will be responsible for those debts and will pay:

• Muskegon Quality Builders $1,500 a month for the next 70 months.
• Muskegon Angels $1,000 a month for the next 60 months. ..."

"LIKELY"?!!-----Mueller wants to review emails between Manafort, former lawyer - POLITICO

Mueller wants to review emails between Manafort, former lawyer - POLITICO

"Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team wants to review emails between Paul Manafort and one of his former lawyers — messages that would typically be protected by attorney-client privilege.
Manafort’s emails are a special case, Mueller’s team argued in a court motion Wednesday.
Attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply when the client enlists a lawyer’s help to commit a crime — and that’s what Mueller’s team is arguing that Manafort did.

...The question of how attorney-client privilege applies to a lawyer who advised Manafort and his former deputy, Rick Gates, around their foreign lobbying work on behalf of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych has dogged the Washington case for nearly a year.
...Attorney-client privilege didn’t apply to Manafort’s discussions with the lawyer, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell wrote, because Mueller’s team had demonstrated that Manafort “likely violated federal law”..."

Officers told stand aside as 'Silent Sam' fell, report says

Officers told stand aside as 'Silent Sam' fell, report says:
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — A police chief assisting with crowd control during a protest at the University of North Carolina told his officers to stand aside as protesters tore down a century-old Confederate monument, according to documents obtained by a television station.
The messages obtained by WRAL-TV show Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue closely monitored the Aug. 20 protest as his officers backed up the UNC police force that takes the lead in policing the Chapel Hill campus.
...During the protest around the statue known as “Silent Sam” in a main campus quad, Blue instructed officers “Let’s give them lots of space” and “stay way out,” the messages show.
At one point Blue sent a message saying Chapel Hill officers were “too close.”
Shortly thereafter protesters pulled down the statue..."

Gregg Jarrett: The scheme from Bruce Ohr and Comey's confederates to clear Clinton, damage Trump | Fox News

Gregg Jarrett: The scheme from Bruce Ohr and Comey's confederates to clear Clinton, damage Trump | Fox News
"Editor's note: This op-ed is based on the author’s book “The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump.”
Director James Comey knew the FBI was incorruptible. 
This is precisely why he seized control of the investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s email practices covering her time as secretary of state, instead of allowing the FBI field office to conduct the probe.
By commandeering control of the investigation, Comey and his confederates could twist the facts and contort the law to dictate the outcome they desired. 
Clinton was the beneficiary of what FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe reportedly described as the “HQ special.”
The same is true of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. 
The very people who cleared Clinton of crimes – despite strong evidence that she broke the law – also assumed unfettered authority over the so-called “collusion” investigation to determine if Donald Trump’s presidential campaign worked with Russia to help Trump become president..."

Northwest Passage Icebound - Ice Age Now

Northwest Passage Icebound - Ice Age Now
"“CCG icebreakers cannot safely escort pleasure craft.” 
At least 22 vessels affected and several have turned back to Greenland, according to Daria Blackwell of oceancruiseclub.org.

Daria also posted this release from NORDREG CANADA, a branch of the Canadian Coast Guard.

Subject: 9H9573 – INFO – 08-18-1256 – LR – HEAVIER ICE CONDITIONS
Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:06:44 +0000
NORDREG IQALUIT 181256 UTC AUG 2018

Good morning,
Due to heavier than normal ice concentrations in the Canadian arctic waters north of 70 degrees, the Canadian Coast Guard, recommends that pleasure craft do not navigate in the Beaufort Sea, Barrow, Peel Sound, Franklin Strait and Prince Regent. CCG icebreakers cannot safely escort pleasure craft. Operators of pleasure craft considering a northwest passage should also consider the risk of having to winter in a safe haven in the Arctic, or in the case of an emergency, be evacuated from beset vessels. Safety of mariners is our primary concern.
REGARDS,
NORDREG CANADA
181256UTC\LR

To confirm that the “heavier than normal ice concentrations” statement was true, I checked Denmark’s Polar Portal site.

Turns out that as of today, 23 Aug 2018, Arctic sea-ice volume for this date is higher than the 2004-2013 average (thick black line vs thick grey line).

Arctic sea-ice volume is also higher for this date than in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you won’t hear much about this from the mainstream media.

So much for Al Gore’s ice-free Arctic.

Google-Facebook 'can shift 12 million votes this election' - WND:

A study of how Google and Facebook are manipulating the political views of their users shows the internet tech giants have the power to shift “upwards of 12 million votes” in November’s midterm elections, psychologist Robert Epstein told Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson.
“We should be extremely concerned,” said Epstein. “Content no longer matters. All that matters is the filtering and ordering of content.”
