'Twitter Files' Bombshell Exposes Biden Admin's Disturbing Pandemic Agenda

'Twitter Files' Bombshell Exposes Biden Admin's Disturbing Pandemic Agenda

But it is what Zweig reveals about the actions of the Biden administration that is particularly disturbing.

Zweig wrote that when the Biden administration took over, they immediately met with Twitter and put pressure on it to do more to suppress “anti-vaxxer” accounts, including journalists like Alex Berenson.

When the Biden admin took over, one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on Covid. The focus was on “anti-vaxxer accounts.” Especially Alex Berenson:

"Michael Markellos and his mother own a 10-unit apartment complex in Chicago. 
He said his tax bill last year for all 10 units combined was $23,674. 
This year, the bill is $128,282 dollars, up 440 percent...
A local TV station asked the tax assessor's office why the bill had gone up. 
  • A spokesperson said the office had previously assessed multi-unit apartment buildings as commercial properties
  • It now considers them residential properties."

What Will the FBI Not Do? By Victor Davis Hanson

What Will the FBI Not Do?  By Victor Davis Hanson
"Who watches the watchers?...
  • The FBI did not merely engage in “correspondence” with Twitter to protect the company and its “customers.” Instead, it effectively hired Twitter to suppress the free expression of some of its users, as well as news stories deemed unhelpful to the Biden campaign and administration—to the degree that the bureau’s requests sometimes even exceeded those of Twitter’s own left-wing censors.
  • The FBI did not wish to help Twitter “to protect themselves [sic],” given the bureau’s Twitter liaisons were often surprised at the FBI’s bold requests to suppress the expression of those who had not violated Twitter’s own admittedly biased “terms of service” and “community standards.”
  • The FBI and its helpers on the Left now reboot the same boilerplate about “conspiracy theorists” and “misinformation” smears used against anyone who rejected the FBI-fed Russian collusion hoax and the bureau’s peddling of the “Russian disinformation” lie to suppress accurate pre-election news about the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
  • The FBI is now, tragically, in freefall. The public is at the point, first, of asking what improper or illegal behavior will the bureau not pursue, and what, if anything, must be done to reform or save a once great but now discredited agency... MUCH more here, read all!

Kirk: Third World Privilege Revealed by the $1.7 Trillion Omnibus

Kirk: Third World Privilege Revealed by the $1.7 Trillion Omnibus

Just before jetting off to enjoy his Christmas holiday, Mitch McConnell left a nice lump of coal for America with his $1.7 trillion (or more!) omnibus spending package. There’s a lot to hate in this package, between millions for LGBTQ museums in New York and extra funding for the House Diversity and Inclusion office.

But the most galling thing about the omnibus is this juxtaposition: More than $400 million is dished out to American “allies” (one cannot put enough quotes around that word) like Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia to assist them in their “border security.” Meanwhile, back in America,.......

Media Silent On UN Chief's False Claim Weather Disasters Up 500% In 50 Years - Climate Change Dispatch

"Last September, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres claimed climate, weather, and water-related disasters had increased by 500% over the last 50 years. According to the political and environmental science writer Professor Roger Pielke Jr, this is pure misinformation.

He goes on to suggest that “you will never find a more obvious and egregious wrong claim in public discussions from a more important institution.”

Matters were made even worse, in Pielke’s view, because the false notion was “legitimized” by none other than the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), one of the founding bodies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...

How employers spy on your search history, digital footprint

How employers spy on your search history, digital footprint"The amount of sensitive information that potential employers can see during a candidate's background check is jaw-dropping.
It’s all out there.
...No matter how often you clear your browser or wipe your social media accounts, our online history is eternal, experts warn.
  • “Your digital footprint doesn’t necessarily go away and it can be checked in the hiring process,” J.S. Nelson, cyber surveillance expert and visiting researcher in business ethics at Harvard Law School, told The Post. “Nothing’s really ever gone from the internet.”
Essentially, third-party data brokers collect information on individual internet users, tracking their site-to-site habits. 
And they’ll readily sell your each and every move — including to companies performing background checks on possible new hires.
This means that dirty searches, quirky online habits and subscriptions to sketchy newsletters and sites could all be accessed by a potential employer. 
Even deleted social media posts could be accessed.
...Here are some situations to be wary of in the age of bigger brother.
  • How much of my search history can be seen? The short answer? All of it.
  • Can they see things I deleted from social media?
  • Can they see my dating apps?
  • Can they find out my political views?...

Byron York: Most Americans Don't Know How Bad the Border Crisis Is | The Patriot Post
"...just as extraordinary has been the decision by many major media organizations that what is happening on the border is no big deal. In particular, major television news networks, with the notable exception of Fox News, have virtually pretended that the crisis was not happening...
  • ...A new Harvard-Harris poll shows that Americans have no idea how bad the crisis is. When asked how many illegal crossers are entering the United States, they grossly underestimate the number. They are, in short, in the dark about what is happening on the border.
The pollsters asked: “How many border crossings by illegal immigrants do you think are occurring each year?” They were then given several ranges of numbers to choose from. 
Now remember, the correct answer for fiscal year 2022 is nearly 3 million.
  • Sixteen percent guessed that less than 100,000 illegal border crossers entered the United States in a year. 
  • Another 21% estimated that somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 entered the U.S.
  •  Another 18% guessed between 250,000 and 500,000. 
  • And then 20% guessed between 500,000 and 1 million.
  • After that, 12% estimated between 1 million and 2 million cross in a year. 
  • And then 6% said between 2 million and 3 million. 
  • Finally, 7% said the number was over 3 million...

It's our culture, stupid!

House GOP Leader McCarthy blasts omnibus bill after it passes: 'Forever stain this Congress' | Fox News

"For the first time in history, a bill in the House was passed without a physical quorum present—more people voted by proxy than in person," McCarthy tweeted. "The omnibus will damage our country, & the blatant disregard for Article I, Section 5 of our Constitution will forever stain this Congress."

The bill passed by a vote of 225-201, with nine Republicans voting in favor of the omnibus. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voted against the bill and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. voted present.

A Fool's Game on Climate - American Think - By Jim Hollingsworth
  • "...The goal of the present administration is to stop all production of carbon dioxide in just a few short years. 
Carbon dioxide is a necessary gas from which every plant is built. 
From that tiny percentage (0.042 percent) comes the substance of every plant and all plant life in the oceans. 
  • We are just part of that carbon cycle. Animals produce carbon dioxide while plants produce oxygen, essential for all life.
...Wind and solar will never take the place of fossil fuels. 
  • Use of fossil fuels has made us wealthier as a nation, and as nations become wealthier their protection of the environment increases...

The Republican also called the current border crisis a "catastrophe" for which Biden was solely responsible.

"This terrible crisis for border communities in Texas is a catastrophe of your own making," he wrote. "The need to address this crisis is not the job of border states like Texas. Instead, the U.S. Constitution dictates that it is your job, Mr. President, to defend the borders of our country, regulate our nation’s immigration, and manage those who seek refuge here," he added.
