“Once it was accepted that disinformation and misinformation must be curtailed from above, government and tech institutions took that as license to decide what’s true and false on our behalf. We know this because now they’re just openly propagandizing and censoring us about a war.”

“Is this a good idea? Really?
Is there anyone who looks at the world situation today — not least with climate breakdown; no longer climate change or even climate crisis but a full-on climate emergency — and thinks to themselves: what the world really needs is more people?
Meanwhile, it's instructive — to me, anyway — that in countries like Greta Thunberg's home country of Sweden, the birth rate is actually dropping.
The last news story out of India that piqued my attention was the growing problem — some might say emergency — with pollution, especially (but not limited to) the big cities. And in India, the cities are big. In terms of population, overcrowding, lack of space, etc.”

“Breaking: The Iowa Senate passed a child labor law before dawn today.
The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.
The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.”
“We recently discovered this bill, and uncovered that it began in the office of Gov. Kim Reynolds and was written by top corporate lobbyists led by the restaurant association.”
Comment:
“But I thought “illegals were takin our jobs?”
Occupydemocrats reported it like this on TikTok by jesspipermo:
“This is happening across red states”
This from Sawyer Hackett:
“At 4am, Republicans in the Iowa Senate passed a bill allowing 14-year-olds to work nightshifts, 15-year-olds to work assembly lines, and 16-year-olds to serve alcohol. They’re trying to use child labor to fix their labor shortage.”
[FIRST AND FOREMOST, don’t EVER let a Democrat give you an excuse why they didn’t pass legislation that benefited the people\environment when they are fully capable of conducting government like this in favor of the rich]
“And this next part is completed related: (headlines read “Governor to sign school voucher bill after Iowa Senate passes in early Tuesday vote” by KCRG staff )
(Banner reading: “Taxpayer Money to fund private school scholarships”) money that would normally go to Iowa public schools will be diverted to private and religious schools
about 90% of the kids in Iowa are in public schools, in fact most have NO access to private schools
so Iowa is defunding schools and also rolling back child labor laws
this gets kids used to working for minimum wage [and frustrates further academic performance, say in college or tech school]
It’s all related, they want our kids to work for theirs”

“Well done, Vietnam! 🇻🇳
Vietnam humiliates America by not displaying the American flag during the state visit by Antony Blinken with their Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính in Hanoi.
This is a clear and intentional breach of diplomatic protocol by Vietnam.
The Vietnamese have not forgotten the napalm and agent orange blood debt.
Blinken went to Vietnam to persuade Vietnam to side with America against China. All he got was lip service and a not-so-subtle insult.
Separately, Vietnam requested to have more defence arrangements with China earlier.
Welcome to the new era. 🇨🇳”

No. The US Supreme Court needs to eject Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. Only then can they require strong ethics for people who won’t view it as nothing but a mere work around:
“SIGN ON: The U.S. Senate must investigate Clarence Thomas and require strong ethics for the Supreme Court.”

Human Extinction: it is a stunning & ghoulish success of washington that every American isn’t freaking out right now
Everybody knows dinosaurs finally went extinct due to a punctuated grand degradation of the atmosphere. But many of these same people think humans can’t go extinct even though our impact makes that same asteroid seem like a dog fart.
America is so yesterday. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa etc etc etc (BRICS Plus) are so tomorrow.
