Alaska Snow Crab Season Canceled After
1 Billion Crabs Vanish
Posted By: Imright, 10/17/2022 6:30:40 PM
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has officially canceled the winter snow crab season, according to CBS News. What we know: It is the first time in history this has ever been done, however, it is now necessary due to the crabs’ rapidly declining numbers in the Bering Sea. According to state officials, it is estimated that one billion crabs have vanished in two years. This constitutes a 90% population loss. The nation’s seafood industry will no doubt feel the effects as seafood lovers will not be able to find the crustaceans in restaurants and markets. And scientists are concerned about how the sudden decrease in population will affect the Arctic ecosystem.

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly hired her third chief speechwriter since she entered office last year.
Dave Cavell, who has previously served as speechwriter for White House climate envoy John Kerry and in the Obama White House, has been hired in the role, per Politico.
Harris's office has seen multiple shake-ups in the past year, with two head speechwriters leaving and several other aides departing.
The high level of turnover in the vice president's office, specifically in her communications team, has come as she has made several awkward gaffes, including saying the United States had an alliance with the "Republic of North Korea" and insisting hurricane aid be given based on "equity."
The Democratic Party continues to come across as tone-deaf and out-of-touch to Americans who are justifiably concerned about rampant crime, soaring inflation, and growing signs the country is heading into a deep recession.
On Tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made this growing impression far worse in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. Watch: (Video)“So let’s talk about rising inflation concerns along with crime, giving momentum, new momentum to Republicans after the Democrats were closing the gap, the historic gap,” Mitchell said.
“Yes,” Pelosi responded.
Google Translate apparently works on bureaucratic jargon, too!
The world’s leading search engine appeared Tuesday to have rejected Mayor Eric Adams’ official name for his controversial migrant processing center on Randall’s Island in favor of something a bit more descriptive.
Instead of labeling the site a “Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center,” Google Maps simply called it what it is: “Adams Tent City.”
The term popped up next to the red locator pin for the Icahn Stadium parking lot, where City Hall planned to unveil the new facility Tuesday afternoon.
President Biden clearly knows his disastrous border policies will hurt Democrats in the midterms, so he’s suddenly gestured at doing something — and even that’s backfiring.
Last week, his folks announced a deal to halt the flood of Venezuelan migrants at the border by expelling them to Mexico. They also offered a path for 24,000 Venezuelans to enter legally, after finding a US sponsor. (Who needs congressional approval?)
“There is a lawful and orderly way for Venezuelans to enter the United States, and lawful entry is the only way,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas huffed.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Tuesday that the Jan. 6 committee's subpoena of former President Donald Trump is imminent.
Speaking at a forum at Harvard University, Cheney stressed the subpoena, which the House select committee approved unanimously last week, is for Trump's testimony and for documents related to events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"So we'll be issuing a subpoena shortly, both for his testimony under oath as well as for documents. And we'll take whatever next steps we have to take assuming that he will fulfill his legal obligation and honor the subpoena, but if that doesn't happen, we'll take the steps after that," Cheney said.
On Thursday, CNN released never-before-seen footage of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell inside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 — the two people who refused to call in the National Guard prior to that day and during the rioting.(Tweets/Video) The exclusive footage was filmed by Nancy’s daughter Alexandra. Nancy’s son-in-law was outside filming the insurrection.
It was all staged.
To this day, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to release all 14,000 hours of tape from January 6 to the public, because doing so would compromise their authority to prosecute innocent J6 political prisoners.
Actor George Clooney, who’s smeared conservatives for years, claims so-called Republican cruelty is damaging American democracy. Doing His best Dark Brandon impersonation with CNN’s low-rated Chris Wallace on his HBO Max show, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, the Ticket to Paradise star told the former Fox News host that Republicans are responsible for a “coarsening of America.”
Clooney used the recent transfers of illegal aliens by Republican governors to liberal areas of the country as his prime example.
Clooney said America is going down the wrong path, especially with its political discourse. He lamented how “everyone jumps up and down and cheers
Project Veritas on Tuesday released undercover video of Mayor Eric Adams’ top aide admitting Abbott busing illegals to NYC has “proven effective.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the last several weeks has been sending busloads of illegal aliens to New York City.
More than 17,000 illegals have been bused into New York City in the last few months, according to ABC 7 NY.
WATCH: (Tweet/Video) Earlier this month New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) declared a state of emergency over the influx of illegal aliens.
“Although our compassion is limitless, our resources are not,” Adams said. “This is unsustainable.”
Mayor Adams’ top aide, Chris Baugh, told an undercover Project Veritas journalist
Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, exercised $1 million to $5 million Alphabet call options before Democrats proposed a congressional stock trading ban.
Fox News reported:
Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, exercised call options on at least $1 million worth of Alphabet stock ahead of last month’s bill banning members of Congress from purchasing individual stocks.
Paul Pelosi exercised call options on anywhere between $1 million and $5 million worth of Alphabet stock on Sept. 16, after which they would have expired.
Georgia Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker has been eating Sen. Raphael Warnock’s lunch for the last week, first trouncing him in a debate and then telling the media to do their jobs in front of apartments owned by Warnock’s church.
“A crowd of ~20 reporters screeched at Herschel Walker this morning when he suggested they do their jobs and talk to the people who have faced eviction notices from the apartment building owned by Raphael Warnock’s church. They’re so close to the building they can almost touch it,” Free Beacon investigative reporter Andrew Kerr tweeted.
A left-wing protester allegedly attacked Herschel Walker at a campaign event by calling the Georgia Republican nominee for U.S. Senate a “house n****r, Fox News reported.
Walker faced the racial epithets at a campaign event held outside of Columbia Towers, an apartment building primarily owned by the church Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads.
Fox News reported that multiple witnesses at the event, including Walker campaign staffers and media members, heard the protesters shout the slur.
“This is all a stunt. He’s nothing but a house n****r,” the protester, who identified himself as Maceo Fletcher, allegedly shouted at Walker.
Joe Biden is set to announce another release of more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ahead of the midterms in an effort to (artificially) bring gas prices down.
“The White House will release 10 million to 15 million barrels from the reserve as part of an existing plan, announced in March, to release 180 million barrels of crude oil into the market throughout the year, according to two industry people granted anonymity to discuss confidential discussions with the administration. There are about 15 million barrels remaining in the original release authorized by the White House.” Politico reported.

His Top Legislative Priority If Democrats
Sweep Midterms 32 replies
President Biden is expected to pledge during a Tuesday night speech that his top legislative priority after the midterms will be codifying a national right to abortion, should the Democratic Party retain control of the House and expand its Senate footprint.
During his remarks at the Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night, Biden is expected to pledge that the first bill he will send to legislators in a new Democratic Congress will codify Roe v. Wade, the New York Times first reported. The move is intended to galvanize his support among Democratic and independent women as his polling numbers slump ahead of November’s midterm elections.

A jury on Tuesday found Russian national Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source of the anti-Trump dossier, not guilty on all four counts of making false statements to the FBI.
The charges had been brought by Special Counsel John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the FBI's original Trump-Russia investigation.
The Danchenko trial is the second out of Durham's years-long investigation, and the second time a jury delivered an acquittal.
Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of making false statements to the FBI in June.
Ghislaine Maxwell has admitted she thinks her pedophile ex-partner Jeffrey Epstein’s death behind bars three years ago is “profoundly suspicious.”

With Democrats facing a "shellacking" in November, President Obama is out and about, campaigning for Democrats, in various ways.
He made some headlines with this:
Former President Barack Obama thinks Democrats can be a bit of a “buzzkill,” too easily offended over accidental slights and the complicated scenarios of modern life, he said in a podcast interview late last week.
“How does politics even – how is it even relevant to the things that I care most deeply about? My family, my kids
According to a recent report in ClickOrlando, two robbers were shot and killed when they tried to rob a jewelry store in the Magin Mall in Orlando, Florida.
The attempted robbery, which happened at around 11:45 in the morning, was conducted by four attempted robbers, so the police are still searching for the remaining two.
Of the two suspects who were shot, one was killed at the scene of the attempted robbery and so police had to do no searching for him.
The other one who was shot got in the car with the two other surviving suspects and drove off but, according to ClickOrlando, he was found in the abandoned vehicle

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she dismissed a poll saying Americans’ top concerns going into the November midterm that Americans are most concerned about inflation and crime.
Mitchell said, “Let’s talk about rising inflation concerns along with crime, giving momentum, new momentum to Republicans after the Democrats were closing the gap, the historic gap. After the Supreme Court ruling, there was huge outrage. That has seemed to subside, at least among overriding concerns. Despite all the legislative accomplishments, and I want to cite them, I want to say it’s been an extraordinary session.
I’ll bet they are. The problem for Democrats, however, won’t just revolve around their deeply unpopular Demagogue in Chief and the albatross he’s hung around their necks. After the smoke from the midterm referendum on Joe Biden clears, the party will have the same problem they had in 2020, 2016, and every midterm in the past dozen years except 2018.
Keep that in mind when reading The Hill’s report on “contingency plans” already being considered even before the election results come in:
Democrats behind the scenes are already talking about and making contingency plans for 2024 in case President Biden decides not to seek a second term, moves expected to intensify
Republican lawmakers reacted to a report that first lady Jill Biden was upset that nobody tried to stop President Biden’s last solo press conference nine months ago. The New York Times reported on Sunday that, following the president’s latest solo press conference in January where he did not follow then-press secretary Jen Psaki’s cue to wrap it up, the first lady tore into top White House officials demanding to know why no one intervened.
Several GOP lawmakers shared their thoughts on the report with Fox News Digital, with Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., quipping Jill "knows a train wreck when she sees one."
Former President Donald Trump ripped Colorado Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea on Monday as ballots began rolling out to every voter in the state.
“There’s this RINO character in the Great State of Colorado, Joe O’Dea, that is running against the incumbent Democrat for the United States Senate, who is having a good old time saying he wants to ‘distance’ himself from President Trump, and other slightly nasty things,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths. Good luck Joe!”
The morning statement wasn’t helpful to Republicans hoping for an upset in Colorado’s dark-horse Senate race where a win over Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet
FBI whistleblowers have revealed that the bureau has “voluminous evidence” of possible criminal conduct by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, according to a top senator.
“Based on recent protected disclosures to my office, the FBI has within its possession significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told FBI Director Christopher Wray and other officials in a letter dated Oct. 13.
James Biden is the president’s brother.
Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has been approached by a number of whistleblowers in recent months about how the bureau has handled its investigation of Hunter Biden
