Accidental leak reveals US government
has secretly hit Google with 'keyword
warrants' to identify ANYONE searching
certain names, addresses, and phone numbers

The U.S. government is using 'keyword warrants' to uncover the identity of anyone who searches Google and other search engines for certain search terms that may be related to a crime, according to a new report. The controversial practice, which is already drawing civil liberties concerns about sweeping government overreach, was revealed on Tuesday in 'accidentally unsealed' court documents obtained by Forbes. Keyword warrants—which have been secretly employed for at least several years—are drawing backlash as many argue they violate an individual's constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure. 'Trawling through Google's search history database enables police to identify people merely based on what they might have been thinking

At least five prints of Hunter Biden’s artwork have already been sold for $75,000 each and a team of lawyers is vetting potential patrons who plan to attend his upcoming gallery show in New York City—which has now been delayed until the spring, The Post has learned. The Georges Berges Gallery sold the prints before the Oct. 1 opening of a “pop-up” presentation in Los Angeles, a source familiar with the matter said Thursday. It’s unclear who purchased the reproductions—which cost a fraction of the top price of $500,000 for an original piece by President Biden’s scandal-scarred son—or if any more were sold
Military commanders who oversaw a training exercise in which nine service members died were burnt out by the pandemic, and overwhelmed by the prospect of war with Iran and Donald Trump's militarization of the southern border, according to a new report. Eight Marines and one sailor, aged 18-23, died on July 30, 2020, when their amphibious vehicle sank off the coast of California. The armored ship-to-shore transport craft took on water and sank off the coast of San Clemente Island, while returning to the USS Somerset. On Wednesday the results of two investigations into the accident—one from the Marines, one from the Navy—were published.
Joe Biden said Thursday the 'bigger story' isn't that thousands of people are losing their jobs, but that the new mandates are increasing the percentage of Americans in the workforce who are vaccinated against COVID-19. 'These requirements work,' Biden lauded during a speech at a Clayco construction site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.(Snip)He also said that private business leaders felt emboldened by federal-level requirements for military and government workers to now also demand that their employees are also vaccinated to be able to remain in the American workforce.
'As the business roundtable and others told me when I announced the first requirement, that encourages businesses
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being mocked on social media after he published two posts that mention the latest woke iteration of an acronym for people with different sexual identities—2SLGBTQQIA+—which some likened to an encrypted password or “headbutting the keyboard.” “People across the country are lighting candles to honour Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people who are missing or have been murdered. We must continue to work together, raise awareness, and advocate to end this ongoing national tragedy. #SistersinSpirit,” the prime minister posted to Facebook and Twitter on Monday, referencing the Sisters in Spirit vigil, which honors women of specific racial or sexual identities

President Biden visited the Chicago area Thursday to highlight vaccine mandates imposed by some of the biggest local companies, hoping to rally support for rules that are increasing vaccinations while sparking furious debate over the best way to reach the leery. Mr. Biden said he is pushing employer-based mandates because companies saw their vaccination rates rise above 90% after imposing them. He also believes the economic recovery depends on broad immunization.
“Here’s the deal, these requirements are already proving that they work,” the president said during a visit to a Clayco construction site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. “In the past few weeks, as more and more organizations have implemented
U.S. sub hits object in South China Sea
15 replies
A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine struck an unidentified object in the South China Sea over the weekend, Navy officials confirmed Thursday. The USS Connecticut, a Seawolf-class fast attack submarine, had a collision Oct. 2 while operating in international waters and is returning to port in the U.S. 7th Fleet. Almost a dozen sailors were injured but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening, according to the U.S. Naval Institute. “The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority. The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition,” Navy officials said in a statement.
While the extent of damage to the submarine is still being assessed,
Three people at the head of Moderna, the pharmaceutical and biotech company behind one of three approved COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., have made their debut on Forbes’ List of the 400 wealthiest people in America. Thanks in part to the shot’s success, Moderna’s co-founder and current chairman Noubar Afeyan, co-founder and board member Robert Langer and investor Timothy Springer all nabbed coveted spots in the ranking of the nation’s most rich.
Ageyan landed in the 212th spot with a fortune of $5 billion, and Langer is at 222 with $4.9 billion. Springer, a Harvard Medical School professor who funneled money into the company early on,
The head of the city’s investigatory agency ripped Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday for allowing his NYPD security team to be turned into a “concierge service” for his son. During a press conference following the release of a scathing Department of Investigation report, DOI Commissioner Margaret Garnett declared that the mayor’s security team members have in recent years chauffeured son Dante de Blasio around the five boroughs for personal needs rather than the unit’s intended purpose. “In practice, what is happening is that, you know, it’s not security; it’s essentially a concierge service, primarily for Dante,” she said.(Snip)“If Dante de Blasio has to pick up a prescription
Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech SE have asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand emergency use of its COVID-19 vaccine to include kids between ages five and 11.
When the vaccine was originally authorized for use by the FDA in December 2020, it was only for those aged 16 and older, before being expanded to those aged 12 and older in May. The FDA is planning to move quickly and has a meeting tentatively scheduled to discuss the matter on October 26. Officials are expected to make a decision—which would make 28 million kids eligible—between Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Over the past couple of months, Allison, a wife and mother of a toddler and teenager in Chicago, says she’s been spending about $50 more each week on groceries to feed her family—and that’s at a discount supermarket chain, Aldi’s. “I used to spend $70 a week, but all of sudden this summer, I noticed that I couldn’t leave the store without spending at least $120,” said Allison, who works in education.(Snip)For households earning the US median annual income of about $70,000, the current inflation rate has forced them to spend another $175 a month on food, fuel and housing, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist
Officials in Sweden and Denmark have paused use of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in younger age groups due to concerns about the shots causing rare heart inflammation. The two Nordic nations—separated by only a dozen miles of the Kattegat sea area—announced the decision on Wednesday. In Sweden, the Moderna jab will no longer be available to any one born after 1990, or those aged 30 and younger. Denmark has restricted access to the vaccine to anyone under the age of 18. Myocarditis and pericarditis, both types of inflammation of the heart, are known as side effects of the Covid vaccines, and the Centers for Disease Control
A new survey shows that U.S. adults, especially millennials, increasingly endorse Marxist views such as the rejection of private property and traditional morality, even though they don’t adopt Marxism as a label. The Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University, which published the results last week, found in a representative poll of 2,000 U.S. adults that one-third or more endorsed a dozen elements of Marxist theory on issues ranging from racism to God. Pollster George Barna, CRC founder and research director, said the results indicate that 10% of Americans have internalized Marxist ideology and now draw from it in their daily decisions,

Will Be Relocated to Taxpayer-Funded Luxury Apartments 45 replies
Three glistening new buildings in downtown Seattle with 165 studio apartments — originally to be rented at market rates — will instead house the homeless.
The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) is buying the buildings with taxpayer dollars for about $50 million, with federal COVID-19 relief funds splitting the cost equally. Seattle City Hall is contributing about $25 million, while also using “American Rescue Plan Act” funds. A large portion comes from Washington State’s Department of Commerce.
Left-wing Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, so unpopular she can’t run for re-election, claims the deals will house people quickly and cheaply, compared to the time and cost required to develop similar projects from scratch.
One of Colorado’s largest hospital systems has implemented a new policy that denies organ transplants to patients who have not taken the experimental Covid-19 vaccine under “almost all situations.”All organ donors will also have to be vaccinated under the new policy, and it has already stopped one woman from receiving the life-saving treatment she needs.Last month, the University of Colorado Health sent a letter to Leilani Lutali informing her that her status on the waiting list for a kidney transplant was “inactivated” for “non-compliance” because she has chosen not to take the jab.
Coweta County, GA – An alleged home intruder wanted on multiple warrants was found dead on the front porch of a residence after he broke into a house and was mauled to death by two dogs, according to police. Coweta County sheriff’s deputies were called to a residence on Walt Sanders Road off of North Highway 29 at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 after the homeowner returned to his house and found a man dead on his porch, The Newnan Times-Herald reported. The deceased man was later identified as 21-year-old Alex Binyam Abraha, an Atlanta resident who was wanted on multiple warrants out of Fulton County, according to WTVT.

HOWELL, MI -- President Joe Biden saw a clear message from the window of his motorcade while driving to an event in Howell on Tuesday.
“F*** Biden” was visible on flags and signs carried by a crowd of protesters gathered along M-59 in Livingston County, a deeply conservative part of the state. U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, said she was “embarrassed” by the profane message as she sat next to the president, who pointed out the signs as they passed by the rally.
Biden is Brewing a National Crisis

Have we ever had a president who in mere months made so many dumb, intemperate decisions, thereby precipitating major crises? You’d think that the Afghanistan and border fiascos would suffice for one four-year term. But the smart money is that we haven’t seen the last of Biden-manufactured crises. Biden is a nightmare version of Pig-Pen of the Peanuts comic strip.. A perpetual cloud of incompetence, conceits, corruption, and shabby political motives swirls around him. (snip) As Niall Stanage of the Hill put it, “President Biden’s biggest vulnerability isn’t any single issue. It’s the risk that he could be seen as losing control of events.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to walk back a statement by presidential climate envoy John Kerry which claimed President Joe Biden "had not been aware of what had transpired" following a submarine deal with Australia that upset the French. "Of course he was aware of the French being upset," Psaki said in response to a question on the matter from Fox News' Peter Doocy. "He of course was aware, the president, of the French being displeased about the deal with the Australians. John Kerry also speaks regularly to the French as part of his role as the climate envoy. He's someone who also served as Secretary of State."
Doctors are getting angry at their patients

One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination. (snip) Some patients take exception to this approach and ask for ivermectin, which is being used outside of the United States to treat early COVID. There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.
Doctors are not taking kindly to the suggestion that patients should have access to medication that can prevent serious illness. They are denouncing ivermectin as a veterinary drug
Is it really a surprise that a formal move toward police repression of its political opponents – siccing the FBI on critics of Critical Race Theory – is coming from the chief law enforcement officer of the Biden regime? The latest polling indicates that the already low public approval of the Biden presidency is declining further.
The prospects for any improvement in these numbers are poor. (snip) The term “crisis of confidence” has been in play for at least a month (snip) More than half of Americans say 55 - 42 percent that the Biden administration is not competent in running the government.
A district court judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order blocking Texas S.B. 8 abortion law on Wednesday, finding in favor of the U.S. Department of Justice, which had sought the order to block the law from going into effect. "A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an abortion prior to fetal viability is well established. Fully aware that depriving its citizens of this right by direct state action would be flagrantly unconstitutional, the State contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme to do just that," U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman, of the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, wrote in a 113-page ruling.

White House Weaponizes DOJ Against Parents
25 replies
It should be obvious that no sane parent would ever allow ideology to supersede the proper education of her children. Yet, during the past year, it has become equally clear that many of the nation’s school systems are indoctrinating students using politically tendentious curricula that most of the public considers . . . well . . . insane. This has resulted in widespread protests by parents of all political persuasions to which school boards have responded with stunning hostility. The magnitude of this animus was revealed this week when the National School Boards Association (NSBA) equated parents with “domestic terrorists,” and the Biden administration directed the FBI to investigate them.

The Google and Facebook arms of the Stasi are not only effective, but in a classically American way, they're profitable, too, and people even "share" their information voluntarily, safe in the belief that they are not considered an enemy of the state for whatever reasons the state may have at the moment.
