Where to use keys in Gray Zone Warfare

In Gray Zone Warfare‚ there are tons of things to collect and use. However‚ not everything is explained. A good example of that is the keys you find. To learn where to use these keys in Gray Zone Warfare‚ you should read this guide. Gray Zone Warfare: How to find keys As I’m playing many players have come up to me asking me if I’ve had certain keys which left me puzzled. However‚ as I got deeper into the game‚ I realized that keys are quite important. Once you have one‚ you may waste time trying to open random doors. First‚ it seems like most or all keys found in Gray Zone Warfare can be earned by looting dead NPCs. If you’re playing on the PVP server‚ you might be able to loot one from a fallen player.  Second‚ to find keys‚ try looking in areas where you have to do tasks. For example‚ if you’re doing the Rat Zone quest‚ search the area‚ and a key should be nea...

‘Make Government Work’

‘Make Government Work’

President Joe Biden says‚ “I know how to make government work&;#33;” You’d think he’d know. He’s worked in government for 51 years.   But the truth is‚ no one can make government work.   Biden hasn’t. Look at the chaos at the border‚ our military’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan‚ the rising cost of living‚ our unsustainable and record-high debt … In my new video‚ economist Ed Stringham argues that no government can ever work well‚ because “even the best person can’t implement change. … The massive bureaucracy gets bigger and slower.” I learned that as a consumer reporter watching bureaucrats regulate business. Their rules usually made life worse for consumers. Yet politicians want government to do more&;#33; Remember the unveiling of Obamacare’s website&;#63; Millions tried to sign up. The first day‚ only six got it to work. As vice president then‚ Biden made excuses: “Neither [Obama] and I are technology geeks.” Stringham points out‚ “If they can’t design a basic simple website‚ how are they going to manage half the economy&;#63;” While bureaucrats struggled with the Obamacare site‚ the private sector successfully created Uber and Lyft‚ platforms like iCloud‚ apps like Waze‚ smartwatches‚ etc.   The private sector creates things that work because it has to. If businesses don’t serve customers well‚ they go out of business. But government is a monopoly. It never goes out of business. With no competition‚ there’s less pressure to improve.   Often good people join government. Some work as hard as those in the private sector. But not for long. Because the bureaucracy’s incentives kill initiative. If a government worker works hard‚ he might get a small raise. But he sits near others who earn the same pay and‚ thanks to archaic civil service rules‚ are unlikely to get fired even if they’re late‚ lazy‚ or stupid. Over time‚ that’s demoralizing. Eventually government workers conclude‚ “Why try&;#63;” In the private sector‚ workers must strive to make things better. If they don’t‚ competitors will‚ and you might lose your job.   Governments never go out of business. “Companies can only stay in business if they always keep their customer happy‚” Stringham points out. “Competition pushes us to be better. Government has no competition.” I push back. “Politicians say‚ ‘Voters can vote us out.'” “With a free market‚” Stringham replies‚ “The consumer votes every single day with the dollar. Under politics‚ we have to wait four years.” It’s another reason why‚ over time‚ government never works as well as the private sector. Year after year‚ the Pentagon fails audits. If a private company repeatedly does that‚ they get shut down. But government never gets shut down. A Pentagon spokeswoman makes excuses: “We’re working on improving our process. We certainly are learning each time.” They don’t learn much. They still fail audits. “It’s like we’re living in ‘Groundhog Day‚'” Stringham jokes. When COVID-19 hit‚ politicians handed out almost $2 trillion in “rescue” funds. The Government Accountability Office says more than $100 billion were stolen. “One woman bought a Bentley‚” laughs Stringham. “A father and son bought a luxury home.” At least Biden noticed the fraud. He announced‚ “We’re going to make you pay back what you stole&;#33;” No. They will not. Biden’s Fraud Enforcement Task Force has recovered only 1% of what was stolen. Even without fraud‚ government makes money vanish. I’ve reported on my town’s $2 million toilet in a park. When I confronted the parks commissioner‚ he said‚ “$2 million was a bargain&;#33; Today it would cost $3 million.” That’s government work. More recently‚ Biden proudly announced that government would create “500‚000 [electric vehicle] charging stations.” After two years‚ they’ve built … seven. Not 7‚000. Just seven. Over the same time‚ greedy‚ profit-seeking Amazon built 17‚000. “Privatize&;#33;” says Stringham. “Whenever we think something’s important‚ question whether government should do it.” In Britain‚ government-owned Jaguar lost money year after year. Only when Britain sold the company to private investors did Jaguar start turning a profit selling cars that people actually like. When Sweden sold Absolut Vodka‚ the company increased its profits sixfold. It’s ridiculous for Biden to say‚ “I know how to make government work.”   No one does. Next week‚ this column takes on Donald Trump‘s promise: “We’ll drain the Washington swamp&;#33;” COPYRIGHT 2024 BY JFS PRODUCTIONS INC. The Daily Signal publishes a variety of perspectives.

Pentagon Says It Can’t Calculate Diversity Training Costs Because Congress Defunded DEI Offices

Pentagon Says It Can’t Calculate Diversity Training Costs Because Congress Defunded DEI Offices

The Pentagon told Congress it could not provide a required accounting of diversity training to Congress because it didn’t have enough people working in diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion positions‚ the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. Congress mandated the Pentagon compile a report detailing how much the entire military spent on diversity training‚ salaries for DEI administrators‚ and any impacts on recruiting and retention across the force that was due March 1‚ according to last year’s National Defense Authorization Act‚ which sets defense policy for the next fiscal year. But the Pentagon is nearly two months behind the due date for the report after the same defense authorization act for fiscal year 2024 slashed the salaries of DEI personnel‚ effectively gutting the departments‚ the Daily Caller News Foundation learned. “This report is delayed due to lack of DEI manning. We do not have an estimated completion date at this time‚” a legislative liaison representing the Department of Defense to Congress said in correspondence shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Rep. Jim Banks‚ R-Ind.‚ who chairs the House Armed Services military personnel subcommittee‚ told the Daily Caller News Foundation the response shows the Pentagon is “simply covering up [President] Joe Biden’s politicization of our military.” The 2024 NDAA capped annual salaries for diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion administrators at $70‚000‚ which means most officials will have to find other jobs or accept difficult pay cuts‚ according to data the Pentagon’s personnel office provided to Sen. Eric Schmitt‚ R-Mo. It also banned the Pentagon from hiring into DEI-focused roles until Congress received the results of an audit of all DOD offices and programming. &;#63;FY24 NDAA is focused on ending wokeness in the military.&;#63;&;#63;Prohibits funding for CRT&;#63;Prohibits funding for politically biased counter extremism working group&;#63;Hiring freeze for DEI bureaucrats&;#63;Cuts &; caps pay for DEI bureaucrats&;#63;Includes a Parents Bill of Rights pic.twitter.com/5nvvQEN5y2— Armed Services GOP (@HASCRepublicans) December 13‚ 2023 “The Biden DOD spends over a hundred million dollars a year on DEI‚ but apparently they don’t have enough DEI staff to provide the House Armed Services Committee with a simple report about how they’re using all their money. It’s ridiculous‚” Banks told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Pentagon is now working on the report “and will provide the information once completed‚” a spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation last week. The person declined to provide further details. The military calculated the total cost in dollars and number of hours spent on the extremism stand down on Feb. 5‚ 2021‚ required after the Jan. 6 capitol riots and on training—$1 million and 5.8 million man-hours. Noting that‚ Congress asked the military to supply the total cost of training in DEI‚ the amount spent on salaries for civilian personnel working on DEI positions‚ and “how the objectives of the DEI and extremism training conducted in the last 5 fiscal years were satisfied by the training.” Congress sought to probe how the DOD’s emphasis on diversity and inclusion influenced recruitment‚ promotions‚ discharges‚ and courts-martial for violating the Pentagon’s extremism orders or regulations. Lawmakers asked for a description of the training materials for 2023‚ the year covered by the bill. “House Republicans fought hard to gut Biden’s DEI bureaucracy at the Department of Defense‚” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation at the time. Rogers touted the House GOP’s efforts to restore the military’s focus “on capability and lethality instead of Biden’s far-left political priorities.” Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation The post Pentagon Says It Can’t Calculate Diversity Training Costs Because Congress Defunded DEI Offices appeared first on The Daily Signal.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Farm Credit Agency Plows Ahead With DEI‚ ‘Queer’ Farming

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Farm Credit Agency Plows Ahead With DEI‚ ‘Queer’ Farming 

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A regulatory agency established during the Great Depression to help farmers financially recover from the Dust Bowl is now pushing diversity‚ equity‚ inclusion‚ and accessibility (DEIA) standards and promoting transgender farming.  The Farm Credit Administration (FCA)‚ an independent agency that oversees the Farm Credit System to provide credit to farmers and ranchers‚ issued a newsletter for employees titled “DEIA for All‚” which The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project obtained via a FOIA request. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)  &;#63;BIDEN'S FARMING PRIORITIES: &;quot;QUEERING THE SYSTEMS OF CAPITALISM&;quot;The Farm Credit Administration @fcagov wants DEIA for all &; more transgender farmers &;#63;&;#63;&;#63; &;#63;&;#63;&;#63;&;#63;&;#63; pic.twitter.com/Cx6YuQa2Bt— Oversight Project (@OversightPR) May 1‚ 2024 The newsletter‚ released quarterly‚ challenges employees to examine their “implicit bias” with tests to gain self-awareness and “ensure that diversity and inclusion continues to thrive at FCA.”  It also encourages employees to learn about the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in agriculture and to be proud of the ways FCA contributes to “equity in farming.”   One of the articles that the Farm Credit Administration links to for further reading‚ “The Queer Farmers Reimagining American Agriculture‚” suggests that LGBTQ farmers can improve American agriculture in ways that their “straight‚ cis counterparts” cannot.   The article quotes a “queer farmer” named Coco Faria‚ who talks about “queering the systems of capitalism.”   “For me‚” says Faria‚ “queering the systems of capitalism means that‚ when I have a farm‚ making sure people are being paid a living wage‚ versus just minimum wage.”  Employees are also given the option of taking DEIA courses to learn about “subtle acts of inclusion and allyship” and to earn badges that demonstrate support for the agency’s DEIA principles. Under the leadership of Vincent Logan—the first openly gay FCA board chairman and CEO‚ who was appointed by President Joe Biden—the agency is making DEIA a priority.  The newsletter references Biden’s Executive Order 14035‚ “Executive Order on Diversity‚ Equity‚ Inclusion‚ and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce‚” which Biden signed in June 2021.  Section 1 of the executive order states:  As the Nation’s largest employer‚ the Federal Government must be a model for diversity‚ equity‚ inclusion‚ and accessibility‚ where all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Accordingly‚ the Federal Government must strengthen its ability to recruit‚ hire‚ develop‚ promote‚ and retain our Nation’s talent and remove barriers to equal opportunity.   It must also provide resources and opportunities to strengthen and advance diversity‚ equity‚ inclusion‚ and accessibility across the Federal Government. The Federal Government should have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the American people. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that diverse‚ equitable‚ inclusive‚ and accessible workplaces yield higher-performing organizations. The end goal is to “embed” the principles of DEIA into the federal workforce‚ according to the newsletter.  Logan shared that sentiment with Government Executive in an interview last June.  The Farm Credit Administration oversees the Farm Credit System‚ which offers credit to a diverse group of borrowers‚ so “we need to have our workforce reflect that‚” he said.  The FCA boasts about how “progressive” its DEIA efforts are in comparison with other government agencies‚ based on the agency’s scores in a 2022 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.   The strong survey scores‚ the agency claims‚ reflect its commitment to Biden’s “Executive Order on Diversity‚ Equity‚ Inclusion‚ and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce.”  “We will continue to seek ways to further strengthen these important values‚” it states.  Translation: We will continue to push discriminatory DEIA ideology in the federal workforce and leave no room for those who hold traditional values.  FCA can be added to the long list of federal agencies that have gone all in on the Biden administration’s woke gender policies.  The post EXCLUSIVE: Federal Farm Credit Agency Plows Ahead With DEI‚ ‘Queer’ Farming  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The Ideological Roots of the Open Borders Push: The BorderLine

The Ideological Roots of the Open Borders Push: The BorderLine

Why does the Biden administration want open borders&;#63; As a researcher and writer on immigration‚ that’s the question I often get asked. Here are the three reasons I think are behind Joe Biden’s deliberate border chaos: Electoral politics‚ extortion‚ and‚ most insidiously‚ ideology. I’ll start with ideology and come back to the other two reasons in my next two weekly BorderLine columns. The most dangerous driver behind Biden’s open borders is ideological. Policy differences can be negotiated‚ but as we’re seeing on college campuses‚ people fanatically committed to an idea can prove intransigent‚ regardless of the facts. When you see the word “abolition” used in connection with criminal justice and immigration‚ you might be confused. Americans rightly associate the term with ending slavery and abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison who were active before the Civil War. Why are academics‚ politicians‚ and race professionals using it in 2024&;#63; Those saying “abolitionist” today have appropriated it for the positive historical connotation it possesses‚ but they mean something else entirely. To see the roots of their ideology‚ you have to go back to the dawn of the New Left‚ as described by Chris Rufo in his book “America’s Cultural Revolution.” Under their intellectual godfather‚ German academic Herbert Marcuse‚ Marxist-Leninists‚ Black Panthers‚ the Weather Underground terrorist group‚ and Students for a Democratic Society gathered. This leftist alliance believed—as the Students for a Democratic Society magazine‚ Prairie Fire‚ explained—that the U.S. was founded on genocide‚ slavery‚ and racism. Their goal was to abolish the existing capitalist America and build a new society. One element of this was destroying the justice system. The Black Panthers’ manifesto thus called for the release of all black men who were incarcerated‚ no matter for what crime. As Rufo writes‚ “[Communist Angela] Davis and her comrades began to call not for the release of individual criminals‚ but for the abolition of the entire system.” Davis said that “a society without racism … has to be a society without prisons.” The Black Lives Matter organization adopted the same agenda of “abolition.” The mobs that destroyed a police station and looted Minneapolis in 2020 shouted‚ “Abolish the police‚ then the prisons.” The “abolitionist” activists in the Seattle CHAZ commune wanted to abolish the police‚ prisons‚ and courts. BLM founder Patrisse Cullors was crystal clear in this “Harvard Law Review” essay from 2019: “Abolition means no borders. Abolition means no Border Patrol. Abolition means no Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” America is the source of world evil‚ in her view‚ and thus has no right to exist as a nation state nor keep anyone in the world from entering its borders. Some Biden administration officials seem to share this core belief. Avideh Moussavian‚ a senior appointee at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services‚ tweeted “#abolishICE” in 2018 and “cut ICE and CBP funding” in 2019. Another Biden appointee‚ Claire Trickler-McNulty‚ undermined ICE from within before leaving for a nongovernmental organization partly funded by the Vera Institute for Justice. The Vera Institute says‚ “The U.S. immigration system is an arrest-to-deportation pipeline rooted in racism‚” wants no detention of people in the U.S. illegally‚ and grants millions to nongovernmental organizations defending illegal immigrants. “Abolition” ideology also has clear links with today’s campus support of Hamas. Take a look at this course taught at Columbia University this Spring by Professor Mohamed Abdou‚ titled “Decolonial-Queerness and Abolition in SWAN.” SWANA likely stands for South West Asian and North African people. A sentence from the course description sums it up: Using intersectional/assemblage-based theories‚ what decolonial‚ gender-based readings and formulations of feminisms/queerness exist that evade the apparent tidiness of European feminist and narrow LGBTQIA categories that characterizes most (non)Euro-American political queer-feminist scholarship beyond the depiction of queer BIPOC as co-opted and duped‚ colonized pawns of “Gay Empire” towards elucidating critical discussions on identity‚ agency‚ subjectivity‚ and dissidence&;#63; Parents are paying $90‚000 a year for their kids to learn that kind of balderdash. But even if you can’t make any sense of that sentence‚ you can be sure of what Abdou means by “abolition.” Columbia University now resembles Gaza as designed by outdoor equipment retailer Eastern Mountain Sports. Meanwhile at Princeton University‚ students briefly set up a camp last week “in solidarity with Gaza to protest Princeton’s role in funding the ongoing genocide‚” according to organizers Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest. Dan-el Padilla Peralta was among faculty who signed a letter supporting the Princeton students and boycotting Columbia University. He is a “classics” professor who calls his field “equal parts vampire and cannibal” and the foundation of white supremacy‚ and argues that it should be abolished. Peralta came from the Dominican Republic as a child‚ and his family overstayed their visas and became illegal immigrants. Leftist academics such as Peralta do not like nations or borders any more than they do classical antiquity. In his book “Undocumented‚” Peralta wrote‚ “Demography is a b**ch. Holla at me if you want me to break it down for you.” By this‚ Peralta implies that without immigration enforcement‚ the “global majority”—defined here as everyone but white Europeans—will be able to dominate every country. What we’re seeing at the southern border and on college campuses comes from the same ideological roots and ends the same way: anarchy. The BorderLine is a weekly Daily Signal feature examining everything from the unprecedented illegal immigration crisis at the border to immigration’s impact on cities and states throughout the land. We will also shed light on other critical border-related issues like human trafficking‚ drug smuggling‚ terrorism‚ and more.

House Passes Antisemitism Bill Amid Free Speech Fears

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. In response to the ongoing tensions concerning Israel and Hamas‚ coupled with a wave of pro-Palestinian protests at colleges across the United States‚ the US House of Representatives‚ led by a New York Republican‚ voted in favor of a divisive antisemitism awareness bill. Despite engendering controversy‚ the bill was successful with 320 votes for and 91 against‚ manifesting some level of bipartisan support. The legislation‚ fronted by Mike Lawler‚ aims to “provide for the consideration of a definition of antisemitism set forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws concerning education programs or activities‚ and for other purposes.” The legislation mandates that the Department of Education adopt the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism to enforce anti-discrimination laws. The bill faced opposition beyond political disagreements. The American Civil Liberties Union also disapproved of the legislation‚ pointing out that antisemitic discrimination and harassment by federally funded bodies were already legally prohibited. The Union contended that the bill’s presence is unnecessary for combating antisemitism and instead‚ it may curb free speech among college students by misinterpreting criticism of the Israeli government as antisemitism. Critics of the bill‚ however‚ including Rep. Matt Gaetz‚ argue it infringes on free speech. Gaetz notably derided the measure as a “ridiculous hate speech bill” and voiced his concerns that it could potentially label biblical passages as antisemitic. Expressing his stance on the social platform X‚ Gaetz announced‚ “This evening‚ I will vote AGAINST the ridiculous hate speech bill called the ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act.’” He elaborated‚ stating‚ “Antisemitism is wrong‚ but this legislation is written without regard for the Constitution‚ common sense‚ or even the common understanding of the meaning of words. The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill&;#33;” According to Gaetz‚ the bill’s definition of antisemitism‚ as per the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)‚ would include biblical assertions such as “claims of Jews killing Jesus.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also opposed the bill for similar reasons. She argued that it could unjustly accuse Christians of antisemitism simply for adhering to Gospel narratives. “The bill could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews‚” she stated on social media.

Free Speech Platform Gab Rejects German Request for Data on User’s Posts Insulting Politician Ricarda Lang

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The German authorities have attempted to get Gab‚ a free speech software company‚ to release personal data identifying a user of its platform‚ for making comments about a politician’s weight that are considered offensive. Gab founder and CEO Andrew Torba revealed this in a blog post‚ reassuring the user community that the request will not be complied with – the response was “a firm rejection‚” he wrote. He also provided details of this fairly‚ even by today’s standards of government speech control and repression‚ an extraordinary case. Namely‚ the user targeted by Berlin made a comment in 2022 that described the Greens politician‚ Ricarda Lang‚ as “fat.” In addition‚ the user is accused of making two posts that “sexualize” Lang‚ the sum total of all this‚ according to the German government (the request came from the German Federal Criminal Police Office)‚ being an attack “on the honor of the politician‚” as well as a show of disrespect. Greens Politician Ricarda Lang. And that‚ the notice received by Gab continued‚ violates the section of the German criminal code that deals with the offense of “insult” (and envisions imprisonment – up to five years according to Torba – or a fine). From here‚ things start to spiral: the posts‚ the federal police said in the request‚ were in German‚ so they suspect the user is located in Germany. But to “confirm the real identity and current location” they wanted Gab to turn over an exhaustive list of personal information‚ including account ID‚ registration date and time‚ and IP address‚ port number included. Further‚ they wanted the user’s full name‚ date of birth‚ display name‚ usernames‚ email addresses‚ alternatives included‚ and phone numbers. The list goes on: postal and billing addresses‚ payment method‚ means of payment – in all instances the data was to be both current and historical. The German police also wanted ID and proof of address and copies of ID‚ if available. “At Gab AI Inc.‚ we stand resolute in our belief that free speech is a fundamental human right and that our users should be able to express themselves without fear of censorship or retaliation‚” Torba said. “We also take the privacy of our users very seriously and will not compromise their civil liberties for the sake of appeasing foreign governments that seek to stifle free speech‚” he continued‚ adding: “In light of this‚ we have responded to the German government’s request with a firm rejection. We will not be providing any user data related to the alleged offense‚ as the speech in question is protected by US law.” The post Free Speech Platform Gab Rejects German Request for Data on User’s Posts Insulting Politician Ricarda Lang appeared first on Reclaim The Net.
