Shock Revelation: Starliner Can't Undock From Space Station Safely

It’s only been a few hours since Kamala Harris picked hard-leftist Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, and the media are already lying at full throttle about his supposedly “moderate,” “centrist” record. Before getting into the absurd garbage that journalists are peddling today, let’s first dispel with the notion that Walz is, or ever was, a “moderate.” It’s already well established that he’s governed Minnesota as a hard-line leftist: he allowed the BLM riots in 2020 to run rampant through the Twin Cities; he supports hormone treatments and sex change operations for children; and during a particularly draconian COVID-19 lockdown, he established a hotline that encouraged Minnesotans to snitch on their neighbors for gathering outdoors. But even most (though not all) corporate journalists are not dishonest enough to claim that he’s been a centrist Governor. Instead, the preferred talking point is that, while he trended more progressive during his stint as Minnesota’s Chief Executive, he spent 12 years in Congress as a solid moderate. But that’s also a lie. The American Conservative Union (ACU), which rates how conservative each members of Congress is, gave Walz a lifetime rating just eight percent — tying him with the likes of Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Joaquin Castro (D-TX) when he left Congress in 2018. Meanwhile, Heritage Action, which employs a similar rating system, gave Walz a more generous but still very left-wing lifetime score of 13 percent. If that sounds like a centrist to you, then you’ll find nothing amiss with the video below. But for everyone still tethered to reality, this chorus of reporters calling a Walz a moderate should sound pretty nutty:     On Tuesday morning, MSNBC contributor and former Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill (whose lifetime ACU rating was 12%) lambasted those who would dare describe Walz as a leftist: “The idea that Time Walz is some lefty is just not true in reality. He got elected in a district that was very moderate… He is definitely somebody who is absolutely more moderate than people are giving him credit for right now.” Later that morning, MSNBC contributor and former Florida Dem Carlos Curbelo spent several minutes wildly gaslighting the audience of MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart Reports: “It’s the same formula as 2020 for Democrats, but inverted. Now the progressive candidate is at the top of the ticket, and the more centrist, deal-making candidate is the Vice Presidential nominee.” Hillyard repeated the claim that Walz was a “centrist” several times during that segment. Against all odds ABC chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl somehow managed to outdo even the two former members of Congress on MSNBC’s payroll. Over the course of just a few minutes, wove the term “moderate” into his analysis so often that one wonders whether he was being paid per utterance: He does have a record in Congress as a very moderate Democrat representing a very moderate to conservative district in Minnesota… He had a pretty moderate record… He was viewed as a moderate… He will appeal, have a more personal connection to some of those moderate voters… He has a proven ability to do well with rural, moderate, even conservative voters. Not that any of this is surprising. After all, the corporate media’s primary task is to get Democrats elected. When the American public are turned off by lawless rioting and transgender surgery for minors, that means they have to lie to do their jobs.

A U.S. District Court Judge just handed down a devastating ruling for the godfather of all the Big Tech censors–Google. U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta ruled Monday in U.S. v. Google that “Google is a monopolist and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” Former Attorney General William Barr filed the lawsuit initially while Donald Trump was still president. Fox News host Laura Ingraham celebrated the decision on the Aug. 5 edition of her show The Ingraham Angle. Crediting the Trump administration, Ingraham said the former president “may be a Google slayer.”  In his ruling, Judge Mehta specifically noted that he found Google to have a monopoly in “general search services” and “general search text ads.” According to the Sherman Act, such violations can lead to $100,000,000 in fines for a corporation, but the consequences of this decision could go much further.  Mehta added, “Google’s distribution efforts are exclusive and have anticompetitive effects; and Google has not offered valid procompetitive justifications for these agreements. Importantly, the court finds that Google has exercised its monopoly power by charging supracompetitive prices for general search text ads. That conduct has allowed Google to earn monopoly profits.” The U.S. Department of Justice argued that Google reached its current dominance of internet searches by paying companies such as Apple to make Google the default search engine on their products. Google has paid Apple $8-$12 billion a year for such prime treatment, according to The New York Times. Such efforts have clearly borne fruit as Business Insider reported that 90 percent of internet searches take place on Google and its subsidiary YouTube, amounting to billions of searches a day.  Mehta noted this market dominance prominently in his ruling, which mentioned that Google already hosted 80% of “all search queries in the United States” by 2009. The ruling also pointed out that Google spent $26 billion in ad revenue in 2021 to ensure that its corporate partners not only gave the search giant “default placement” on their devices  but also that they agreed “not to preload any other general search engine on the device.” Thirty-six states and three U.S. territories joined the lawsuit including: Colorado, Nebraska, Arizona, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

The Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has sparked an online firestorm, as people viciously spar over whether or not the athlete is biologically male or female. According to what the mainstream media and the IOC are saying, Khelif is not transgender but was born female with a condition called DSD that causes the development of XY chromosomes. Others say that it is impossible to have XY chromosomes and be anything other than a biological male. Caitlyn Jenner, who largely pioneered the transgender movement, spoke about the controversy during a recent Fox interview. Dave Rubin plays the clip. Caitlyn Jenner Makes Fox Host Go Quiet with Unexpected Take on Controversial Olympic Boxer www.youtube.com “First of all, if you’re dealing with being intersex, we’re talking about 0.001% of the population. It’s a very, very small portion of the population,” Jenner said, adding that the “media is so hypersensitive about this.” “I think the Olympic Committee did absolutely the wrong thing by letting her compete. ... The IOC just didn't do their job at the beginning and then the media got a hold of this and blew the whole thing up. But shame on the IOC for not protecting the integrity of women's sports and shame on the IOC for not protecting the safety of women's sports, obviously,” Jenner continued, noting that “this is a safety issue.”Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations, free speech, and big ideas with Dave Rubin, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

A study recently published in the peer-reviewed Elsevier journal Environmental Research revealed that cell phone radiation can do a whole lot more than simply warm users' faces. Background Mobile phones emit radiation in the radiofrequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. According to the National Cancer Institute, second through fourth-generation cell phones emit radio waves in the frequency range of 0.7-2.7 gigahertz; however, fifth-generation phones are anticipated to use a spectrum of up to 80 GHz. Supposedly, such "energy is too low to damage DNA. By contrast, ionizing radiation, which includes x-rays, radon, and cosmic rays, is high frequency and high energy. Energy from ionizing radiation can damage DNA." DNA-damaging radiation is particularly concerning because that could lead to genetic changes that might significantly increase the risk of cancer. New York University radiology professor Christopher Collins told Forbes earlier this year that electromagnetic radiation only starts to ionize and threaten DNA at around 3 million GHz. The NCI suggested that beside heating, there "are no other clearly established dangerous health effects on the human body from radiofrequency radiation." Recognizing that the absence of proof of a causal link between cell phone radiation and cancer is not proof of an absence of such a link, various health organizations have expressed concern as well as the need for caution. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, for instance, maintains that the electromagnetic fields produced by cell phones are possibly carcinogenic to humans. A study published last year in the journal Reviews on Environmental Health indicated that specific low frequency magnetic fields generated by power lines and various electrical appliances "can increase the risk of developing leukemia in children, probably acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Prolonged exposure to electric appliances that generate magnetic fields higher than 0.4 µT like electric blankets is associated with a greater risk of childhood leukemia." The European Commission's directorate-general for health and food safety has acknowledged a possible link "between long term mobile phone use with acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor of the auditory nerve." The California Department of Public Health indicated in a 2017 alert: Although the science is still evolving, some laboratory experiments and human health studies have suggested the possibility that long-term, high use of cell phones may be linked to certain types of cancer and other health effects, including: brain cancer and tumors of the acoustic nerve (needed for hearing and maintaining balance) and salivary glands[;] lower sperm counts and inactive or less mobile sperm[; and] headaches and effects on learning and memory, hearing, behavior, and sleep. Damning new study A team of Austrian researchers recently executed the first human intervention trial under controlled conditions, examining the possible cell-killing and DNA-damaging effects of mobile phone radiation. Participants in the study were exposed to low and high doses of a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System signal via headsets for two hours on five consecutive days. Both before and weeks after their exposure, buccal cells — cells found on the inside of the cheek — were collected from the 41 subjects and closely examined. Although the researchers found no evidence for induction of chromosomal damage by 3G cellphone radiation and of "nuclear buds which are caused by gene amplifications," they did observe a "significant increase of binucleated cells which are formed as a consequence of disturbed cell divisions, and of karyolitic cells, which are indicative for cell death." These effects were not observed on the sides of the subjects' faces that were not exposed to the UMTS signals. 'These processes may possibly lead to formation of neoplastic cells.' The researchers indicated that they had "found clear evidence for disturbance of the cell cycle and cytotoxicity. These effects may play a causal role in the induction of adverse long term health effects in humans." "It is possible that these effects cause inflammatory responses and/or release of ROS, which were seen in a number of laboratory studies," wrote the researchers. "These processes may possibly lead to formation of neoplastic cells." Tumors, also called neoplasms, are made up of neoplastic cells. "Evidence is accumulating that exposure to HF-EMF [between 100 kilohertz and 300 GHz] is associated with specific brain tumors," wrote the researchers. "The results of the present investigation indicate that molecular mechanisms other than chromosomal damage may cause neoplastic transformation of the cells as a consequence of exposure to mobile phone specific HF-EMF." Dr. Rob Brown, a diagnostic radiologist who serves as vice president of scientific research and clinical affairs for Environmental Health Trust, told the Defender that the Austrian study "is significant and should be looked at with great concern." "Most research to date exploring the biological effects of electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation has been performed on in-vitro cell cultures, plants and animal models," said Brown. "Because of this, they have been easier to discount by industry and policymakers." Brown suggested the study also provided "strong evidence that at least some frequencies emitted by the cellular phone passed through the entire thickness of the cheek's soft tissue (typically 1 centimeter in thickness or more) to affect the sampled cells" — a revelation that points at the possibility that such penetration could be "expected in all parts of the body in which a cellphone may make contact."

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D) released an audit Tuesday that accused Mayor Eric Adams' (D) administration of "shoddy oversight" of a contract the city held with Rapid Reliable Testing NY LLC, also referred to as DocGo.The Adams administration signed a $432 million contract with the company to provide illegal aliens residing in the city with services, including shelter, accommodations, and food. 'Infestation, inedible food, and inadequate service.'Lander, who recently launched a mayoral bid to push Adams out of office, stated that an audit conducted by a group of independent auditors uncovered "mismanagement" of the contract. He noted that the Department of Housing Prevention & Development "failed to conduct sufficient oversight," ultimately costing "taxpayers millions of dollars." The audit alleged that HPD conducted "poor quality" invoice reviews."A detailed review of invoices presented for the first two months of the contract found that nearly 80% of payments—$11 million of $13.8 million paid—were unsupported and should be recouped," Lander's office reported. After a review of the first two months of the no-bid emergency contract, DocGo received $1.7 million in taxpayer funds for nearly 10,000 hotel rooms for illegal immigrants that sat vacant. Roughly 67% of the funds it received during that same period were paid to "unauthorized subcontractors" that were not reviewed by HPD."80% of the 189 hotel rooms auditors visited in New York City and upstate had at least one deficiency, and a small number posed serious health and safety hazards," the comptroller's report read. Some of the deficiencies or health hazards included mold, water damage, bugs, and pests as well as the lack of a microwave and/or refrigeration."Our detailed investigation into DocGo invoices and properties found a wide range of fiscal mismanagement and shoddy oversight—from DocGo overpaying security subcontractors by $2 million, skimming off over $400,000 in overhead for almost 10,000 unused hotels rooms, and failing to ensure promised social and casework services. Each misstep reveals that the Administration failed to adequately vet the company or oversee their work," Lander said.Lander referred to the hotels' conditions and limited access to case workers as "nothing short of cruelty.""Thousands of asylum seekers travelled thousands of miles to seek safety and support as they start their new lives and instead were met with infestation, inedible food, and inadequate services. Our audit unearthed what we already suspected—that DocGo never should have gotten into the business of housing asylum seekers," Lander stated.A spokesperson for Adams' administration told the New York Post that Lander and his office were being "nitpick[y]" during an "unprecedented" crisis."At the height of an unprecedented international humanitarian crisis, workers from across the city government were called upon to take swift, decisive action to meet this defining moment with compassion and care for others," the spokesperson stated. "As mothers needed baby formula and health care workers needed supplies, we put people's wellbeing before paperwork.""The comptroller can nitpick the first two months of an emergency contract over a year after the fact and long after new safeguards were put in place, but he cannot claim to have saved a single migrant family from sleeping on the streets," the spokesperson continued. "We will continue to pay our partners for the work they do on behalf of the city, particularly amidst a humanitarian crisis."HPD spokesperson Ilana Maier told the Post, "The report egregiously mischaracterizes HPD memos and fails to acknowledge facts that don't reinforce their politically convenient narrative.""HPD staff and its vendors worked around the clock, seven days a week, to make sure that the thousands of people suddenly on the city's doorstep were safe, sheltered, and fed. When HPD made decisions quickly, it made them compassionately; and when procedures didn't yet exist and documentation wasn't available in the moment, HPD exercised good judgment rather than risking lives for bureaucratic steps," Maier added.DocGo stated, in part, that it "stand[s] by the quality of our program."Like Blaze News?
