Energy Crisis: One in Four Britons Will
Not Turn On Heating Over Winter Months
– Poll
Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/29/2022 11:18:06 AM
Just under one in four Britons will leave their heating off over the winter as the price of energy surges, polling has suggested. Polling released on Monday has suggested that just under one in four Britons will not turn on their heating due to the rising price of energy. It is the latest statistic showing how much Britain’s population is struggling under the myriad economic crises facing them, with one union boss recently hinting at the possibility of street riots over how dire things are for many in the country. According to a report by The Telegraph, polling commissioned by the Liberal Democrats completed last week has revealed that around 23 per cent of people

President Joe Biden screamed, “I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country!” during a Tuesday speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Biden segued to “assault weapons” by talking about passing Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) gun control package this summer. He built toward a crescendo as he claimed “the vast majority” of Republican members of Congress could not support Cornyn’s gun control because the NRA was against it.
Biden said, “Law enforcement supported [the ban], faith leaders and teachers supported it, young people in this country, like the students in this great university, support it, and the NRA and the vast majority of Congressional Republicans voted against it. But guess what,
The Washington Post is considering laying off around 10 percent of its newsroom in response to declining profits, according to a new report from the New York Times.
Fred Ryan, the Post‘s CEO, is said to have suggested cutting 100 positions after ad revenue in the first half of this year fell 15 percent as compared to last year, several people with knowledge fo the discussions told the Times. The cuts could be made through hiring freezes or layoffs, or a combination of the two.
A spokesman for the Post denied that the paper was going to be shrinking in size and suggested
Former U.S. President Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social has not yet been approved for distribution on Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google Play Store due to insufficient content moderation, according to a Google spokesperson on Tuesday.
The delay marks a setback for the app, which launched in the Apple App Store on Feb. 21. Android phones comprise about 40% of the U.S. smartphone market. Without the Google and Apple stores, there is no easy way for most smartphone users to download Truth Social. “On August 19, we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content
It was perhaps only a matter of time before the incitement that Joe Biden and other Democrats have been whipping up against Republicans began to bear fruit in all its ugliness. Biden has called MAGA Republicans “semi-fascist,” and he says they are attacking democracy. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden thinks MAGA people are a “threat to the rule of law.”
Now, the Seminole County GOP office was vandalized after someone spray-painted the building with the words “eat s*** fascists” with orange spray paint. From The Hill:
The perpetrators also attempted to use a form of glue-like substance
Joe Biden is going to give a prime-time address to the nation Thursday evening in order to warn us that Republicans want to destroy America.
What does he mean by that? Last week, the president addressed a Democratic National Committee event in Maryland where he spelled out exactly the line of attack against Republicans he will deliver on Thursday night.
“They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace — political violence. They don’t believe in democracy,” he said. “This is why, in this moment, those of you who love this country — Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans — we must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving America
A senior presidential adviser has told Ukrainians not to expect rapid gains, after his country began what it said was a long-awaited counteroffensive aiming to retake the southern province of Kherson from Russian forces.
Ukrainian troops had broken through Russian defences in several areas of the frontline near Kherson city, Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, claimed. However, in a Telegram post, Arestovych cautioned against any expectations of a quick win, describing the offensive as a “slow operation to grind the enemy”. “Of course, many would like a large-scale offensive with news about the capture by our military of a settlement in an hour,” he wrote. “But
Sometimes a story breaks that is truly surprising in this otherwise highly predictable political environment, and that happened on Monday. Reports came out that Timothy Thibault, FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge (that’s a mouthful), had been escorted out of FBI headquarters by multiple “official-looking” individuals. Soon enough, it was confirmed that Thibault, who was also part of “election integrity” efforts during the 2020 election, had been removed for showing political bias and attempting to cover up the Hunter Biden laptop story as early as 2019. That was long before the DOJ’s 90-day policy prior to an election to not deal with politicized cases kicked in,
Since former President Donald Trump’s departure from the White House, CNN has struggled to pay the bills as a result of consistently pathetic post-Trump ratings and too many scandals to keep track of. But the legacy cable news network now faces an enemy within — in the form of its once-loyal and now-spicy viewers, and the collective power of their Twitter accounts. On Monday evening, the hashtag “#BoycottCNN” made Twitter’s coveted trending list, which means a lot of people are seeing it. I nearly brushed it off thinking it was probably just a typical conservative-led boycott of the network.
I was wrong. It was way better than that.

Podcast king Joe Rogan urged his 11 million listeners to “vote Republican” to address the “serious errors” made by government officials during the coronavirus panic starting in 2020 during Saturday’s show.
During his Joe Rogan Experience with guest Green Bay Packer’s QB Aaron Rodgers, the pair began talking about the mess the federal government and many states made with their efforts to mitigate the spread of the various coronavirus variants, the New York Post reported. California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom came in for a special drubbing for his state’s handling of the crisis, especially since he and other officials seemed to absolve themselves from having to abide by the strict rules they imposed
Ohio U.S. Senate Democrat nominee Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) said Monday on “CNN Tonight” that President Joe Biden calling “MAGA” Republicans “semi-fascist” during a speech last week will not hurt Democrats in the midterm election.
Guest anchor Victor Blackwell asked, “The president said that a portion of the Trump movement, the extreme MAGA philosophy he calls, it’s like semi-fascism. Does that hurt you with the voters you need to win in November?” Ryan said, “No, no. Look, it’s straight. If you’re storming the Capitol on January 6th

Columnist Lee Smith, author of The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History, said colleagues and peers of his — whose judgment he trusts — speculate that the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL, was a search for documents related to its “Russiagate” surveillance operation of the 45th president.
“I think the best way to understand this is in the context of a six-year-long operation targeting Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s aides, and Donald Trump’s supporters,” Smith said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak. “I have different colleagues
Who is FBI Agent Timothy Thibault?
22 replies
Just The News and other media outlets are reporting that Tim Thibault — FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge — was escorted from bureau premises on Friday (we covered the story here). According to Ben Whedon of JTN, the reported removal of Thibault comes “amid whistleblower allegations that he showed political bias in his handling of politically sensitive investigations.” The Washington Times reported eyewitness accounts that “Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau’s elevator last Friday escorted by two or three ‘headquarters-looking types.'” The article appears to have been updated and now states that Thibault “abruptly resigned” but that he was “forced to leave his post”

Former lawyer to President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, said Monday on SiriusXM’s “Mornings With Zerlina” that Trump will not run for a second term because “he does not want to go up against” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).
Cohen said, “I do not believe Trump is going to run. First of all, he knows that he can’t win the general election statistically, and his fragile ego will not allow him to be a two-time loser. I just want to be very clear on that.”
He continued, “Second. I believe that if, in fact, that he runs, he is not just going to get the nomination by the Republican party, by the RNC.
President Donald Trump argued Monday that he should be declared the winner of the 2020 election, citing fraud and election interference by the FBI.
The former president pointed to reports that the FBI worked to bury the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop on social media right before the 2020 election.
“This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country,” Trump wrote on social media.
Trump said the FBI purposefully tried to stop him from winning the 2020 election.
He proposed two solutions.

America would have to install 30 million electronic vehicle charging ports by 2030 if half of drivers switch to EVs by the time California's ban on gas cars takes effect. If half of all vehicles sold are zero-emission by 2030, the country would need 1.2 million public chargers and 28 million private chargers by that year—which a McKinsey report claims would cost more than $35 billion over eight years.(Snip)The country has over 128,000 public EV charging outlets and at least 4,500 private charging stations—in comparison with about 150,000 gas stations—and faces a daunting task in trying to build out for its needs.
When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men. (snip) Over the course of a lifetime, however, I have come to realize that while society was right about males, it was wrong about females.
For the second night in a row, police showed up at the home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in the early hours of Thursday morning, responding to a fake 911 call. Once again, it appears that someone on the Left is hoping to get Greene into a situation in which she or others in her home could be killed.
Two police officers rushed to Greene’s home in Rome, Ga., in response to a call they received at 2:53 a.m. The call, according to the Rome Police Department, was about “a male possibly shooting his family members and then himself.”

The conditions are right for confession. Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers. An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from “long before I met Harry,” she says), and that scent fills the air, mingling with the gentle tones of a flamenco-inflected guitar floating from a speaker. Then, in the lull in conversation, Meghan turns to me and leans forward to ask in a conspiratorial hush, “Do you want to know a secret?
Lest anyone remain in doubt, Meghan Markle’s latest interview makes one thing clear: This woman has nothing to say.
She has nothing to offer, no original thoughts or guiding philosophy, no earthly reason to be taking so much money from, and so much space in, the mainstream media she so clearly reviles.
You know, just as she reviles the British royal family, even as she clings to her title and accepts money from her father-in-law, the future king, who reportedly subsidized her and Harry’s $14.5 million mansion, purchased for their privacy.
GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has warned there will be 'riots in the streets' if Donald Trump is indicted over his mishandling of classified documents.
Graham suggested there was a two-tiered legal system based along political lines in support of Joe Biden and against the former president.
'Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him,' Graham said to Fox News on Sunday night.
'There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn't break before the 2020 election.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk spoke at a conference in Norway on Monday, and amid his announcement that he plans to have self-driving Teslas on the market by the end of the year, he made the admission to reporters that the transition away from fossil fuels is happening too quickly. Reuters reports that Musk told reporters that he thinks “we need to use oil and gas in the short term, because otherwise civilisation will crumble.” “One of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and to a sustainable economy,” he added. “That will take some decades to complete.”
According to the Washington Times, and further confirmed by John Solomon via contact with Chuck Grassley, the lead FBI Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge, Tim Thibault, was removed from his position and reportedly escorted out of FBI headquarters on Friday; although his employment status is unknown.
FBI Special Agent Tim Thibault is one of the people at the center of FBI whistleblower allegations claiming the agent was politically biased and ideologically motivated in his FBI investigative duties.
Former President Donald Trump just slammed Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell (again), blasting him for not stopping the Democrats’ latest spending blowout (the laughably named “Inflation Reduction Act”), which Trump imagines he could’ve done by blocking the latest lifting of the federal debt ceiling, and for generally being “a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want.” Ridiculous.
