On December 1‚ 2023‚ at 9:46 am‚ a surveillance camera installed at the airport in Mexico City‚ the capital of Mexico‚ captured a very fast UFO flying over a passenger plane standing on the runway. The dark disc-shaped object flashed in front of the camera so quickly that it was possible to examine it in more detail only by greatly slowing down the video. The object does not seem to resemble a bird or a drone. Since this camera broadcast the video online to the Internet‚ the flashing air anomaly was immediately noticed by one of the users watching it at that moment and posted the video on the social network. “What was it and how fast was it flying?” the user wrote in a post with a video‚ and commentators quickly rushed in with their opinions. Some believed that it was just an insect flying very quickly towards the camera‚ others blamed the bird. However‚ those who were sure that it was an alien ship were in the majority. They wrote that UFOs began to fly over us so often that they were increasingly being caught on surveillance cameras‚ and in fairly good quality.

A UFO researcher and Republican politician believe that the US government is hiding some information about UFOs and calls for transparency of such information. American ufologist Garrett Graff‚ author of “UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government’s Search for Alien Life Here―and Out There“‚ and Republican Congressman Tim Burchett agree that US authorities should finally tell the public everything they know about UFOs. Recently‚ both took part in the “Meet the Press” program on the NBC News news site and talked about their concerns regarding the presentation and concealment of information about UFOs by the authorities. Garrett Graff (left) and Tim Burchett (right) “The government is hiding a certain level of its knowledge and understanding of what some of these phenomena are. There is something real here. “There are objects in our airspace whose nature we do not know. They may represent sophisticated new enemy technology or science ‚ which we don’t understand‚” Graff says. Graff is confident that the authorities can hide both their own secret developments of military aircraft‚ drones or other technologies‚ and those objects that are found to have invaded state airspace. And that the government most likely knows much more about this than it tells the public. At the same time‚ Graff is convinced that in fact the authorities are not hiding “significant knowledge” about directly alien spacecraft‚ extraterrestrials and contacts with extraterrestrial life. And the fact that we have not yet discovered the presence of aliens in space is perhaps because we have not yet developed the technology to search for it. For his part‚ Congressman Tim Burchett believes that the authorities are spending a suspiciously large amount of money on something that allegedly does not exist. “You know‚ we’ve been told since 1947 that these things [UFOs and aliens] don’t exist‚ and yet Harry Reid (former Democratic leader in the US Senate) gave millions of dollars to research them. “Yes‚ they spent a hell of a lot of time‚ effort and money to tell the American public that they don’t exist. And yet they’re looking into it.” Burchett went on to recount how his own initiative to look into reports of UFO sightings by pilots was blocked in Congress: “I proposed an amendment to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) reauthorization bill. “It said that if a commercial airline pilot detects some kind of aerial anomaly‚ or UFO as we used to call them‚ and they file a report with the FAA‚ that If they do so‚ then this report will also be submitted to Congress. Well‚ in the end this amendment was blocked. “The representative directly told me that it was blocked. And I asked why? And he said the intelligence community blocked it. I asked‚ wait a minute. Do you mean committee? And he said‚ no‚ it’s the community.” The post Tim Burchett calls for the whole truth about UFOs to be revealed appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Is there life beyond Earth? The question has turned out to be one of the hardest to answer in science. Despite the seemingly boundless expanse of the universe‚ which implies there’s potential for abundant life‚ the vast distances between stars render the search akin to locating a needle in a cosmic haystack. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Seti) constitutes a branch of astronomy dedicated to finding extraterrestrial life by searching for unusual signals‚ dubbed technosignatures. The identification of a technosignature wouldn’t just signify the existence of life‚ but specifically point to the presence of intelligent life using advanced technology. That said‚ 60 years of searches have so far come up short. But now my colleagues and I have started investigating a previously unexplored range of frequencies. Seti makes the assumption that extraterrestrial civilizations might rely on technology in a similar way to people on Earth‚ such as using cell phones‚ satellites or radar. Since a significant portion of such technology generates signals that are prominently detectable in radio frequencies‚ focusing on these wavelengths serves as a logical starting point in the quest for potential extraterrestrial intelligence. Previous technosignature surveys have included only the radio frequency band above 600 MHz‚ leaving lower frequencies virtually unexplored. That’s despite the fact that everyday communication services such as air traffic control‚ marine emergency broadcasting and FM radio stations all emit this type of low-frequency radiation on Earth. The reason it hasn’t been explored is that telescopes that operate at these frequencies are rather new. And lower-frequency radio waves have less energy‚ meaning they can be more challenging to detect. In our concluded survey‚ we ventured into these frequencies for the first time ever. The Low Frequency Array (Lofar) is the world’s most sensitive low-frequency telescope‚ operating from 10-250 MHz. It’s composed of 52 radio telescopes with more on the way‚ spread across Europe. These telescopes can reach a high resolution when used in unison. Our survey‚ however‚ only made use of two of these stations: one situated in Birr‚ Ireland‚ and the other in Onsala‚ Sweden. We surveyed 44 planets orbiting other stars than our Sun that had been identified by Nasa’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Over the course of two summers‚ we scanned these planets at 110 to 190 MHz with our two telescopes. Initially‚ this doesn’t seem like a large amount of targets‚ but low-frequency observation boasts a major advantage in having large fields of view compared with their higher-frequency siblings. That’s because the area of the sky covered decreases with higher frequencies. In the case of Lofar‚ we covered 5.27 square degrees of the sky for each pointing of our telescopes. This culminated in 36‚000 targets per telecope pointing – or more than 1‚600‚000 targets in total‚ when you check what other stars are nearby and include their planets as well. Interfering signals Searching for technosignatures from space introduces a significant challenge – the same technosignatures are ubiquitous on Earth. This presents an obstacle as the telescopes in these searches boast sensitivity levels that can detect signals‚ such as a phone call‚ from halfway across the Solar System. Consequently‚ the data collected is inundated with thousands of signals originating from Earth‚ posing a considerable difficulty in isolating and identifying signals that could be of extraterrestrial origin. The need to sift through this extensive and noisy dataset adds a layer of complexity to the search. We came up with an innovative approach to mitigating such radio frequency interference‚ called the “coincidence rejection” method. This takes into account the local radio emissions at each of our telescopes. For example‚ if I am using the telephone close to the telescope in Ireland to call my supervisor‚ that same call won’t appear in the data in Sweden‚ and vice versa (mainly because the telescope isn’t pointing in our direction‚ it’s pointing at an exoplanet candidate). So‚ we decided to only include signatures in the dataset if they exhibited a simultaneous presence at both stations‚ suggesting they come from outside Earth. In this way‚ we whittled down thousands of candidate signals to zero. This means we didn’t find any signs of intelligent life with our search‚ but we have only just started – and there are likely to be an enormous number of Earth-like planets out there. Knowing that the coincidence rejection method works with a high success rate may be key to helping us discover life at one of these planets in the future. There are many ways forward for technosignature searches at low frequencies. Currently‚ there is a sister survey (Nenufar) being carried out on that operates at 30-85 MHz. Along with this‚ further Lofar observations will increase the volume of the survey by a factor of ten over the course of the coming year. The collected data is also used for investigating astronomical objects known as pulsars‚ fast radio bursts‚ radio exoplanets and more. Thankfully‚ we’re only at the start of a long journey. I have no doubt that many wondrous things will be found. And if we’re lucky‚ we may reap the biggest reward of all: some company in the cosmos.

On November 18‚ 2023‚ Washington Post reporter Matt "Biden Adviser" Viser offered the Biden talking points in his article‚ Hunter Biden’s career of benefiting from his father’s name. Viser asserted the House Republicans "have not produced any direct evidence" of Joe Biden improperly benefiting from Hunter's schemes. "A Washington Post review of Hunter Biden’s career found no sign the family patriarch was an active participant in his son’s business efforts."  That's ridiculous‚ since the laptop shows Biden showing up to meet Hunter's clients at swanky restaurants and more. Viser quoted Hunter's lawyers‚ painting with the broadest brush: "There is not a single financial transaction between President Biden and his son related to or involving any of Hunter Biden’s business ventures or prior private commercial dealings‚” they [Hunter Biden’s legal team] wrote in a recent memo. “Hunter Biden’s business transactions were legitimate and well-documented in written agreements‚ and transactions legally tracked in his businesses’ bank statements.” On Monday‚ House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer demonstrated that was the latest Biden lie‚ releasing subpoenaed bank records showing that one of Hunter Biden's shell companies -- Owasco PC‚ which received payments from Chinese companies -- sent direct payments to Joe Biden of $1‚380 in September‚ October‚ and November of 2018. So how did Viser and the Post report on this? On page A-7‚ Viser and Jacqueline Alemany penned an article titled "Comer mischaracterizes payments Hunter Biden made to his father for car." Now wait! If anyone "mischaracterized" payments‚ it's the Biden camp‚ who insisted there was "not a single financial transaction" between Hunter and Joe from Hunter's business ventures.  But the Post is just that partisan‚ insisting in their lede that the Republicans keep getting it wrong:  As House Republicans move toward a floor vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry against President Biden‚ House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has again mischaracterized evidence of payments from Hunter Biden to his father. Instead of asking Hunter's lawyers why they lied about "not a single financial transaction‚" their Post pals just let Abbe Lowell roast Comer:  “There Chairman Comer goes again -- reheating what is old as new to try to revive his sham of an investigation‚” Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement. “The truth is Hunter’s father helped him when he was struggling financially due to his addiction and could not secure credit to finance a truck. When Hunter was able to‚ he paid his father back and took over the payments himself.” After the Post allowed a Comer spokesman to insist a series of payments to Joe Biden from Hunter's companies show he's benefited from foreign companies‚ they dumped more cold water on Comer as the article ended:  Comer has consistently oversold [link to their "Fact Checker"] or misrepresented the committee’s investigative findings as he has argued to initiate impeachment proceedings. Last month‚ Comer trumpeted a $200‚000 loan repayment Joe Biden received from his brother James Biden. Comer sought to paint the personal check in nefarious terms‚ alleging without evidence that it showed that Joe Biden had indirectly received payments from his family’s foreign business dealings. When presented with a bank record of the wire payment that showed the $200‚000 payment to James Biden had originated from the president’s attorney trust account‚ Comer baselessly accused the law firm representing Joe Biden of money laundering. Several "fact checkers" typically rushed to defend the Bidens. CNN's Daniel Dale weaseled through it: "the committee subpoenaed years of financial records; the fraction CNN has seen does not prove with absolute certainty that there was a loan. But even this small batch of evidence clearly shows that the Democrats have documents at least partially substantiating their assertions about the check." That's good enough for the Biden voters at CNN and the Post.  PS: Back on February 2‚ Viser demonstrated his partisanship‚ proclaiming to Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC that “there isn't much that ties the president to any wrongdoing‚ which I think has got to be the focus for it to be relevant for it to be of a congressional committee is to look at Joe Biden and the presidency and there's nothing at least on the laptop that illustrates that.”

During Monday’s White House press briefing‚ the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had quite the day as she ended what had been a petty‚ 187-day blackout against the New York Post’s Steven Nelson‚ hilariously ended the briefing after a question from Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann about the new twist in the Biden corruption saga‚ and was caught in a double standard by Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich over voting access. With the penultimate slot in the briefing‚ Jean-Pierre surprisingly called out to Nelson‚ who thanked her and added that while “[i]t’s been awhile‚” he’s “hop[ing] we can do more.” Jean-Pierre chuckled in annoyance‚ saying he took it “one step too far.” Bizarre. After 187 days of being iced out in the WH Briefing Room‚ KJP FINALLY called on @NYPost's @StevenNelson10. Nelson: Section 702 of FISA is expiring this month and‚ against this debate‚ Senator Wyden just this past month released a letter saying that the White House is secretly… pic.twitter.com/sTBAcT9OoB — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) December 4‚ 2023 Nelson cut to his first question: Section 702 of FISA is expiring this month and‚ against this debate‚ Senator Wyden just this past month released a letter saying that the White House is secretly funding a domestic court record dragnet administered by AT&;T.  Apparently‚ according to Wired‚ the White House altered funding for this program in 2021 and resumed at last year‚ and I was wondering what you could tell us about this program and the reason that it was paused and then resumed by the White House. As Jean-Pierre often does with reporters she regularly calls on‚ she played dumb and said she’d “have to check with the team.” Nelson pivoted to his second question‚ which concerned allegations of collusion between the administration and Big Tech (such as here): Last week‚ the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Rob Flaherty about the efforts to influence social media moderation. Is the White House going to seek to block that testimony? And is there any reconsideration by the White House or regrets about the past flagging of social media content for removal? Jean-Pierre unsurprisingly punted‚ referring him to the White House counsel’s office. After Nelson‚ Wegmann served up a question about the revelation from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) that one of Hunter Biden’s business venture Owasco PC sent a direct payment to his father‚ Joe‚ which ran counter to “[t]he White House ha[ving] said repeatedly that the President and his son were never in business together.” “Did the President accept payment? And why would there be such an arrangement if they were never business together? Or‚ if there was a wall of separation‚ as the President has previously said‚” he asked. .@PhilipWegmann: The WH has said repeatedly that the President and his son were never in business together. They’ve said that repeatedly also in this room.

Heinrich used that answer to pivot to Florida’s Democratic Party cancelling its 2024 presidential primary (click “expand”): HEINRICH: So‚ does the Florida Party‚ then effectively canceling the Democratic primary also constitute voter suppression? JEAN-PIERRE: I can’t speak to that. HEINRICH: Why not? JEAN-PIERRE: You have to speak to the campaign or the DNC. HEINRICH: Does — does the White House have thoughts on — on — JEAN-PIERRE: I can’t — HEINRICH: — those voters being — JEAN-PIERRE: — I can’t — I — I can’t speak to that. HEINRICH: — is it because of the Hatch Act or — JEAN-PIERRE: I just — this is — you’re talking about 2024 election. You’re talking about a primary. I’m just not gonna speak to that from here. HEINRICH: Okay.  Heinrich also pressed her on Congresswoman Pramilia Jayapal’s (D-WA) disgusting comments downplaying violence against Jewish women on October 7 by Hamas terrorists‚ but Jean-Pierre refused to condemn the Washington congresswoman directly. To see the relevant transcript from the December 4 briefing‚ click “expand.” White House press briefing [via ABC News Live subfeed] December 4‚ 2023 2:59 p.m. Eastern JACQUI HEINRICH: In 2021‚ President Biden called Georgia’s election law changes New Jim Crow laws that were antithetical to who we are. They imposed voter identification requirements‚ limited use of drop boxes and gave state officials more power over local elections and then in 2022‚ Georgia did have record turnout. But you had argued from the podium that there was voters suppression. Does the White House still believe that that was true? KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: I don’t have anything else to add from what I stated last time. HEINRICH: So‚ does the Florida Party‚ then effectively canceling the Democratic primary also constitute voter suppression? JEAN-PIERRE: I can’t speak to that. HEINRICH: Why not? JEAN-PIERRE: You have to speak to the campaign or the DNC. HEINRICH: Does — does the White House have thoughts on — on — JEAN-PIERRE: I can’t — HEINRICH: — those voters being — JEAN-PIERRE: — I can’t — I — I can’t speak to that.

HEINRICH: Okay. And then‚ can I get the White House’s response to Congresswoman Jayapal’s comments over the weekend. In her interview‚ she said that sexual violence should be condemned‚ but that we have to be balanced in our condemnation. Was that an appropriate comment? JEAN-PIERRE: So‚ we’ve been very‚ very clear. You heard a little bit from — from Jake Sullivan about this. I can only speak for — for the President. Uh‚ that’s who I can speak for‚ and we’ve been clear what Hamas did is absolutely reprehensible and — full stop.  We’re going to continue to be clear about that. And we think about — you know‚ rape and the use of rape as being used as a — as a weapon‚ that is also reprehensible and that’s full stop‚ and I’ll just leave it there and I’m speaking for the President of the United States. I think there’s been very clear on that. HEINRICH: Any comment‚ though —  JEAN-PIERRE: I just —  HEINRICH: — for Congresswoman Jayapal? JEAN-PIERRE: — I just commented on. I just laid out what we believe is unacceptable. (....) 3:06 p.m. Eastern JEAN-PIERRE [TO NELSON]: Go ahead‚ Steve. STEVEN NELSON: Oh‚ thank you‚ Karine. JEAN-PIERRE: Sure. NELSON: It’s been awhile. Hoping we can do more. I — I’ve got one — JEAN-PIERRE [LAUGHING]: See‚ you’re taking it one — one step too far‚ my friend. Just ask your question. NELSON: — well‚ thank you again. I’ve got a question about domestic surveillance then one  about online censorship. On domestic surveillance‚ Section 702 of FISA is expiring this month and‚ against this debate‚ Senator Wyden just this past month released a letter saying that the White House is secretly funding a domestic court record dragnet administered by AT&;T.  Apparently‚ according to Wired‚ the White House altered funding for this program in 2021 and resumed at last year‚ and I was wondering what you could tell us about this program and the reason that it was paused and then resumed by the White House. JEAN-PIERRE: So‚ I would have to check with the team. I don’t have anything specific to tell you about 702. Is it — that’s what you’re asking me about? I just don’t have anything to share on that particular question. NELSON: Hence my online censorship question. Last week‚ the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Rob Flaherty about the efforts to influence social media moderation. Is the White House going to seek to block that testimony? And is there any reconsideration by the White House or regrets about the past flagging of social media content for removal? JEAN-PIERRE: So‚ I’m just gonna be — um‚ be very clear here. My colleagues at the White House counsel’s office has already addressed this‚ so I would have to refer you to them. I’m just not. I don’t have anything to add specifically on this.  (....) 3:07 p.m. Eastern PHILIP WEGMANN: The White House has said repeatedly that the President and his son were never in business together. They’ve said that repeatedly also in this room. According to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee‚ though‚ one of Hunter Biden businesses of Owasco PC set up direct payments to the President. Did the President accept payment? And why would there be such an arrangement if they were never business together? Or‚ if there was a wall of separation‚ as the President has previously said? JEAN-PIERRE: So‚ I have to be clear with you. I have not seen that report‚ so I would have to refer you to my colleagues over at the White House counsel’s office on that particular question.

Google continues to prop up Biden and bury his opponents’ campaign websites in search results‚ according to the results of MRC Free Speech America’s newest study. For the fourth time in a row‚ Google's search engine has once again favored Biden in searches conducted by MRC Free Speech America one week prior to the Republican presidential primary debate. MRC researchers broadly searched for “presidential campaign websites” as well as five additional searches specifying the party affiliation of even the third-party candidates. Google continued to bury Republican candidates’ websites if their websites showed up on the first page of results at all. In a search for “republican presidential campaign websites‚” Google did not produce a single Republican candidate’s website. Shockingly not even former President Donald Trump’s website appeared even though he is polling above 50 percent according to all major polls. The search did‚ however‚ come up with results for Marianne Williamson – who is running as a Democrat – and recent Republican dropout Will Hurd - who dropped out of the race in October after weeks of polling at zero.  The campaign websites of Republican candidates Ron DeSantis‚ Vivek Ramaswamy‚ Nikki Haley and Chris Christie were also nowhere to be found on the first page of Google’s search results.  The first page of results did display a link to a Library of Congress page that referenced an archived version of Trump’s 2020 campaign website‚ but even the link referenced was dead. Google had no problem retrieving incumbent President Joe Biden’s or Williamson’s websites in a search for “democrat presidential campaign websites‚” as they appeared as the first and third results respectively. But the websites belonging to newly announced Democratic candidates Cenk Uygur and Dean Phillips appeared nowhere on the first page of results.  When MRC researchers searched for “independent presidential campaign websites” neither Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s website nor Cornel West’s website appeared on the first page of search results‚ even though they are the only two candidates running as independents.  Similarly‚ Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver’s website did not appear in Google’s first page of search results when MRC researchers searched for “libertarian presidential campaign websites.” Instead‚ the search came up with old campaign websites for former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and 2020 Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgenson.  In another query‚ MRC researchers searched Google without specifying party affiliation. Replicating the first MRC pre-debate Google search study‚ MRC researchers searched the innocuous terms “presidential campaign websites.” Google’s search engine produced Biden’s campaign website as the third search result along with Williamson’s campaign website‚ which came up as the fourth result. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) 2020 presidential campaign website came up as the eleventh result.  After hiding Trump’s campaign website prior to every other debate‚ Google’s search engine finally let former President Trump’s campaign website through to the first page of results but only as the twelfth result. Kennedy Jr. appeared as the thirteenth result and 2020 candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders – who are not even running for the 2024 nomination – appeared as the fifteenth and twenty-seventh results respectively.  The importance of where a search result appears on the first page of a Google search cannot be overstated. Not only is Google the go-to search engine for most people‚ holding a market share of nearly 92 percent worldwide‚ but the higher a search result appears‚ the more likely a user will click on a particular result‚ according to Brian Dean‚ a search engine optimization expert. Dean conducted a study analyzing how often users click on various rankings of Google search results. His blog‚ Backlinko‚ reported that "The #1 Result In Google Gets 27.6% of All Clicks" and it has “10x higher [Click Through Rate] compared to the #10 result.” Astoundingly‚ less than one percent (.63%) of users click through to the second page of search results‚ underscoring the importance of positioning on the first page of search results. Other studies‚ like one conducted in 2020 by Sistrix‚ show similar results. Methodology For this report‚ MRC Free Speech America analyzed the Nov. 29 Google search results of “presidential campaign websites‚” “republican presidential campaign websites‚” “democrat presidential campaign websites‚” “independent presidential campaign websites‚” “libertarian presidential campaign websites” and “green party presidential campaign websites.” MRC Free Speech America created an algorithm to automate this process in a clean environment. A “clean environment” allows for organic search to populate results without the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies. MRC Free Speech America researchers searched the innocuous words “presidential campaign websites‚” “republican presidential campaign websites‚” “democrat presidential campaign websites‚” “independent presidential campaign websites‚” “libertarian presidential campaign websites” and “green party presidential campaign websites” using the algorithm. To determine bias‚ our researchers looked at Google’s results and recorded the rank(s) of each candidate’s campaign website on the first page of results. Conservatives are under attack. Contact Google at 650-253-0000 and demand it be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency‚ clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom desperately wants to run for president -- now rather than later. After all‚ Newsom‚ for reasons I discuss in my new book‚ “As Goes California‚” beat back a recall attempt. Polls show most Democrats want a candidate other than President Joe Biden‚ whose poll numbers remain in the tank. Over 60% of Americans consider the country on the wrong track. Biden’s cognitive decline is on full and public display‚ forcing staffers to limit Biden’s public appearances and restrict interaction with the media. Why‚ then‚ doesn’t Newsom announce? He faces four obstacles: Joe Biden‚ Jill Biden‚ Kamala Harris‚ and Gavin Newsom. First‚ Biden. He enjoys the job‚ having sought it unsuccessfully two previous times. He wanted to run again in 2016‚ but former President Barack Obama discouraged it. Biden also did not want to hinder what most assumed would be the coronation of the first female president. Biden thought the time had passed him by. But Donald Trump shocked the world‚ defeated Hillary Clinton‚ and allowed Biden to saddle up again. So‚ if he can fog up a mirror‚ he runs for reelection. Second‚ Dr. Jill. She enjoys the job. Near the end of her stint as first lady‚ Michelle Obama told Oprah Winfrey that she wanted a “normal” life. But Dr. Jill Biden hovers approvingly over her husband like an Avenger‚ guiding him‚ running interference‚ and doing whatever it takes to get him through his day. Third‚ Harris. Her poll numbers look bad‚ and she dropped out before the first presidential primary in 2020. But she ran for San Francisco district attorney‚ California attorney general‚ and for reelection‚ U.S. Senate and vice president‚ winning each time. She checks the identity party’s boxes as a female who identifies as black. After winning the 2020 Nevada caucuses the self-described Democrat-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders became the Democrat frontrunner. Alarmed‚ South Carolina’s Rep. James Clyburn endorsed Biden on the eve of the South Carolina primary when most had given him up for dead. Clyburn extracted a promise: Make your first Supreme Court nominee a black female. Blacks are the most loyal part of the Democrat base. Black Democrat females outnumber black Democrat males and are even more loyal than black males‚ 20% of whom voted in 2020 for Trump. The first 2024 democrat primary is South Carolina‚ where 60% of the Democrat primary voters are black. Black voters love Harris‚ especially black females. They consider the ridicule over Harris’ so-called cackle sexist and racist. They feel Biden burdened her with the insulting task of finding the “root cause” of illegal immigration when the root cause of the entry of millions of illegal immigrants under Biden is Biden. A recent Los Angeles Times poll found Harris’s favorability rating at 39%‚ two points below that of Biden. But in a recent YouGov poll‚ Harris‚ among blacks‚ had a 70% approval rating‚ which is undoubtedly even higher among black females. Newsom‚ when it appeared that California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein might not complete her term‚ promised to appoint a black female replacement. He did. And now‚ with a black female Democrat poised to become the first female president of any color‚ Newsom knows a white man cannot swoop in and displace Harris. If he tries‚ without Harris agreeing to step aside‚ black Democrat females would explode -- but not to the point where they would vote Republican. Many would just sit it out‚ guaranteeing a Republican victory. Fourth‚ Newsom. What prescription does the hyper-lefty offer to Americans concerned about inflation‚ gas prices‚ wage growth‚ and inability to keep pace with inflation‚ crime‚ and porous borders? Did Newsom criticize Biden’s reckless spending and his inflation-inducing war on oil and gas? Please. Newsom wants California to go further and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. During his two terms as mayor‚ homelessness exploded in his hometown‚ San Francisco. He supports soft-on-crime DAs and policies like cashless bail. Newsom’s California is a sanctuary state‚ and he expanded the number of illegal aliens eligible for taxpayer-funded health care. After Biden’s disastrous‚ world-destabilizing pullout from Afghanistan‚ Newsom said: “I’m incredibly proud of him.” Bottom line: If not Biden‚ the next batter up is Harris. The die is cast.

There’s a bit of a tendency in the prepping and survival community to think big‚ when we think of survival. We’d much rather talk about surviving a TEOTWAWKI event‚ than surviving the common problems we all face. The post Keeping Warm When the Lights Go Out appeared first on Survivopedia.

Two biological men who identify as women took first and second place in a women's bike race in Illinois — repeating the one-two finish the transgender pair pulled off in a women's race in October. What are the details? Tessa Johnson‚ 25‚ took first place in the women’s single-speed category at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships‚ and Evelyn Williamson‚ 30‚ took second place in Sunday's contest‚ the New York Post reported. — (@) Johnson and Williamson placed first and second‚ respectively‚ at a Chicago Cyclocross Cup women's single-speed race Oct. 7. — (@) In Sunday's race‚ Kristin Chalmers — a biological woman — came in third place‚ OutKick reported‚ adding that in October's race‚ Allison Zmuda — also a biological woman — came in third place.What has been the reaction?A number of prominent individuals have reacted with disgust over the latest finish by Johnson and Williamson."It’s so outrageous‚" British commentator Piers Morgan said. "Why aren’t more women standing up against this assault on their rights?""More mediocre male bodies taking podium places from female athletes‚" tennis icon Martina Navratilova said. "And it stinks!!!!"Journalist Megyn Kelly called it "outrageous."Anything else?OutKick added that Johnson and Williamson in August competed under the team name "TS-Estrodolls" in the Racing-Athletic Relay Cross in Chicago and won the contest.
