NOTABLE QUOTES

Danusha V. Goska  contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Wokeness corrupts our every joy. . . into a weapon.

Guy K. Mitchell, Jr. contributor to American Thinker: For those companies in industries like steel manufacturers, automakers, machinery manufacturers, aviation, foundries, and others who can’t change their carbon footprint, there is good news: BlackRock can sell you carbon credits to offset your emissions to get to net zero. You don’t emit less carbon; you emit less profit.  However, your shareholders, while poorer, just feel better.

Steve Feinstein contributor to American Thinker: Here it is: the biggest missed story of this century is the incredible dumbing down of the American public, to the point where a cripplingly large portion of the adult population is no longer willing or able to exercise independent critical thinking in order to take decisive action on a wide range of issues that shape the direction of our economy, culture, and personal freedoms.  Indeed, too lazy and unmotivated to analyze readily available, credible data, far too many people have ceded their personal independence to government dictates — dictates clearly designed to increase government control over the population, rather than having been put in place for the genuine good of the people

Lincoln Brown contributor to PJ Media: One would think that by now, the ACLU and the transgender lobby would have understood that there are those among the ranks of the transgendered people who have found cover for their basest desires and excuses for their crimes under the trans banner. And one would think that these groups would see fit to purge their ranks of such people. One would think that the trans community would say that Richardson is not one of their own and cast his name from their membership. One would think. But the trans community has so far apparently remained silent. And the ALCU has seen fit to champion the rights of a child killer and forget the 11-month-old girl who died at his hands.

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

(8/31/2023) President Trump Pleads Not Guilty and Waives Arraignment Appearance

Smart move by President Trump not to appear in court today thereby starving the media of oxygen to push the anti-Trump narrative. ‘I do hereby freely and voluntarily waive my right to be present at my arraignment on the Indictment and my right to have it read to me in open court,’ he said in a filing submitted by his local attorney. Strategically, it was also a brilliant counter-Lawfare move as it removes the power of corrupt DA Fani Willis to grandstand from the courtroom holding the appearance of Trump in Atlanta, GA, as a trophy for her tribe.  Remember, Lawfare is a construct for media consumption intended to manipulate public opinion. The more you starve the Lawfare operatives of the oxygen they need, the stronger your offense against their schemes.

Charalambous & Rubin: Judge to allow livestream of Georgia election interference case

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said during a hearing Thursday that the court proceedings for the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and 18 others will be live-streamed and televised. “We’ve been live streaming all of our major proceedings on a Fulton County provided YouTube channel, and our plan was to do that with this case as well,” McAfee said during the hearing.McAfee previously approved two orders that allow still photography and video photography of the proceedings. While those orders are set to expire on Sept. 8, McAfee said he plans to extend the arrangement in six-month increments in order to cover the trial.

TRUMP ON OFFENSE

Solomon: Trump vows to crush federal censorship with new appointees, executive order if elected in 2024

former President Donald Trump is vowing to dismantle the federal machinery built by the Biden administration to censor political speech in America, saying he will appoint new leaders of agencies that have engaged in silencing free speech. He also said he would sign an Executive Order banning government employees from participating in projects that infringe the First Amendment. The 45th president made the comments Thursday during an interview on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show when asked about the Biden administration’s well-documented and now-failed efforts to create a government disinformation office. He also highlighted President Biden’s letting federal agencies like Homeland Security and the FBI work with, if not coerce, private parties to pressure Big Tech to censor Americans. […] In a wide-ranging interview, the former president also urged Congress and the FBI to probe evidence of ballot application fraud scheme uncovered by Michigan cops.  Just the News reported Thursday on police documents showing Michigan authorities uncovered in 2020 what they believed was a multistate ballot application fraud scheme connected to a Democrat-funded firm and referred evidence to the FBI, which is now declining to say what it did to probe the allegations. You can read those documents here. MSP FOIA 1 of 2.pdf

Solomon: Trump says Biden’s behavior warrants impeachment inquiry: ‘More aliases than Al Capone’

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday threw his support behind launching an impeachment inquiry against his successor, but urged House Republicans to conduct such a probe fairly and to determine once and for all whether Joe Biden financially benefitted from his son Hunter’s overseas business exploits.

Trump told Just the News that the evidence gathered by House Oversight Chairman James Comer against President Biden – from three pseudonym email accounts, suspicious bank activity reports and contacts with shady business partners in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan to an FBI informant allegation of a $10 million cash bribe – warranted an impeachment inquiry. “I don’t think when you have all these preparations, and you have all of these different methods, even all the aliases – whoever heard of (having) more aliases than Al Capone – I would think that, you know, a fair person because you want it to be fair, it has to be fair … but a fair person would have no choice but to impeach,” he said during a wide-ranging interview Thursday night on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show on Real America’s Voice.

LaBarbera: Trump to ‘COVID tyrants’: ‘We will not comply’

Former President Donald Trump in a campaign video Wednesday made a defiant reply to “left-wing lunatics” and “COVID tyrants” who are “trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with their sudden fear-mongering about variants”: “We will not comply.” Trump mocked the timing of the resurgent COVID hysteria, saying, “Gee-whiz, you know what else is coming? An election.”

JUDICIARY

Showalter: D.C. swamp judge sentences January 7 defendant to 17 years, pioneering new era of cruel and unusual punishment

Leftist judges, who are notoriously soft on violent crime, are surprisingly game to ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ when the defendant is a low-class right winger. Which brings us to this judicial travesty from one of the D.C. ruling elites: . . . […] No one was killed, no property was significantly damaged, nothing was set on fire, nobody whipped out a gun, nobody got taken hostage, no mass casualties were strewn through the streets, but here we are. Apparently this guy knocked over a fence on January 6 and communicated with his like-minded buddies about “real men” and that was enough to trigger the effete judge, who slapped terrorism enhancements onto the man’s crime, putting it in the same league as what Khalid Sheikh Mohammed did to the Pentagon and World Trade Center on 9/11.

TECHNOLOGY ELITE ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR ELECTIONS

War Room: Dr. Robert Epstein: “The technological elite are now in control”

We are ceding power to the technocrats. President Eisenhower warned about the rise of a technological elite that could control public policy without people knowing. Today. The technological elite, such as Google, are now in control and helping Democrats. Our elections and Republic have basically been turned over to our tech lords.

Sundance: Twitter Updates Privacy Policy Notifying Users Their Content Will Be Used to Train and Develop Enhanced AI

The use of Enhanced Artificial Intelligence to control information and communication is a subject that too few people understand.  This is why I have spent time trying to share information so that people can see into the future of their internet reality.  Everything will change. As you should know by now, the X platform (Twitter) is designed to produce a different user experience based on “definitions” of the user.  The definitions are applied by the platform, to create unique identifying characteristics of the user.  The result is that each user gets a completely different platform experience, based on their definitions. “Twitter is a different platform for each user.”  Repeat that phrase as often as needed to understand the evolution of what is coming to the American internet. […] There really is no other phrase that seems to adequately describe the future for online life in the United States than to describe it through the prism of the previously discussed shadow banning that takes place on the X-platform for specifically wrong-thinking users. […] The origin of the public-private partnership goes all the way back to the origin of the tech system in relationship to the DARPA programs and government sponsored research labs.  The outcome of the modern partnership is evident in the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) collaboration with the various communication platforms or pipes of information. Systems like the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database, are simply outcomes of the partnership.  There are hundreds more. There is a rush now to provide context because Artificial Intelligence (AI), or smart data systems, are launching into the United States internet control mechanisms almost daily.  We are close to the time when AI will be triggered to help control the content of the internet under the guise of national security.

The timeline for full deployment of the modern United States internet control system, is likely around late fall and early winter this year, in advance of the 2024 U.S. election cycle.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Cashill: Barack Obama: The Real-Life Manchurian Candidate?

Having written four books about Barack Obama, I read Jamie Glazov’s new book, “Barack Obama’s True Legacy,” not expecting any surprises. To my surprise, I was pleasantly surprised. Glazov, the editor, assigned subject matter experts to review Obama’s policy decisions as president, with a focus on foreign policy. This strategy provides a depth of reporting not found in other assessments of the Obama presidency, my own included. It’s unlikely that future Obama historians will know more about the Muslim Brotherhood than Robert Spencer, more about communism than Trevor Loudon, more about Benghazi than Clair Lopez, more about Israel than Daniel Greenfield or Dov Lipman, or more about Russia than J.R. Nyquist, just to name a few. The opening chapter by John Drew sets the tone for what follows. Drew first met the future president when Obama was a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Revolver.news: Tucker’s got a key that he says will open the door to Obama’s “obviously true” gay past…

Obama was the nation’s first black president. However, was he also our nation’s first gay president as well? That’s what many people have long-suspected; as Obama isn’t exactly a picture of masculinity. The issue of Obama’s sexuality came hurling back into the news recently mfollowing the revelation that he wrote letters to an ex-girlfriend openly discussing his fantasies about being with men. This has reignited both old and new rumors. Naturally, the name Larry Sinclair resurfaced in these new discussions. Tucker Carlson didn’t hold back this time, suggesting that rumors about Obama being gay are “clearly true.” The topic came up during his appearance on “The Adam Carolla Show,” Carlson brought up Larry Sinclair, who was ridiculed by many in the media when he came forward saying he had smoked crack and had sex with Obama back in 1999. Tucker had this to say to Adam Carolla:

PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT/BIG PHARMA = AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Revolver.news: Big Pharma has a dirty little trick up their sleeves when it comes to child vaccines…

The controversy surrounding childhood vaccines has been simmering for some time, particularly with the rapid rise in autism rates. While the so-called “scientific community” hasn’t reached a consensus on a potential link between vaccines and the neurodevelopmental disorder, public skepticism has only grown. This mistrust was made even worse when the government aggressively began promoting COVID vaccines not just for adults, but for children — who were at very low risk. The flu was likely more dangerous for these poor kids. The “experts” assured us the vaccines were safe, but public suspicion went through the roof following an uptick in sudden deaths among otherwise healthy people — including many children. This raised many questions about the actual safety of these vaccines, as well as other jabs. These concerns might be very warranted given a very deceptive little trick that the government and Big Pharma have been playing on parents and kids. It’s known as the “Placebo Pyramid Scheme.” This method is used to fast-track the approval of vaccines for children.

(UNIPARTY) Predictable – Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp Rises to Defend Honor and Character of Corrupt DA Fani Willis

When you know you are essentially watching a performance of paid political actors, and if you are familiar with the Sea Island – Big Club screenplay, then the only thing remaining is to watch the show and see which sequence they assign to each act.   In today’s performance, Brian Kemp, holds a public press conference to proclaim his faith and trust in corrupt Fulton County DA Fani Willis. The reality of the situation is very obvious.  Kemp is leading a stop Trump effort on behalf of the multinational benefactors behind him. […] Many casual political observers have been wondering about why the Georgia republican apparatus, including Brian Kemp, doesn’t just get involved and shut down the nonsense coming from Fulton County and political prosecutor Fani Willis.  It’s an understandable reference point and curiosity, but if you understand Georgia republican politics you understand why the political leadership actually support Fani Willis.

Greenfield: Exposing the Hoax Numbers Behind California’s Racial Reparations

The reparations task force accidentally makes a case for payments to white people. When California’s reparations task force released its report recommending $1.2 million in total lifetime payments to every black person, it made headlines around the world. California was not a slave state so what was the $1.2 million payout even based on? Even though the task force conveniently proposed limiting payments to the descendants of slaves (despite the lack of slaves in the state) it was mostly based on calculating the differences in life expectancy between black people and white people. The meat of the 1,000 page report isn’t in the endless pages of virtue signaling, including a chapter on cultural appropriation, but the claim that “the difference in life expectancy between African Americans and white non-Hispanics in California can be interpreted as the cumulative effect of unequal treatment”. The report gets the amount of money from multiplying . . .
