Index Over Free Speech Concerns
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/21/2023 1:29:40 AM
Finally, there is some more good news in the battle for free speech. The Global Disinformation Index has taken yet another hit after being exposed for its campaign to limit the reach of conservative and libertarian views online. Oracle, the multinational software company, has announced that it is ending its relationship with the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a group that has been secretly blacklisting conservative media outlets. The decision comes after a review by Oracle, which stated that its services must be in full support of free speech. “After conducting a review, we agree with others in the advertising industry that the services we provide marketers must be in full support

American military officials have evacuated U.S. embassy personnel from violence-torn Sudan, Fox News can confirm.
A source told Fox News that the evacuation was complete as of early Sunday morning. Diplomats and their families were successfully removed from Sudan and the capital city of Khartoum.
The Sudanese military has been working with foreign governments to evacuate diplomats as their country descends into a massive conflict. The conflict between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudan's armed forces began on April 15. The World Health Organization reported that at least 413 people have died, while injury estimates are as high as 3,551.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has directed the National Guard and California Highway Patrol to help combat San Francisco's fentanyl trafficking crisis.
On Friday, Newsom announced an effort to have both agencies assist local authorities to address the rise in fentanyl use.
The agreement will focus on "dismantling fentanyl trafficking and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations accountable," the Democratic governor's office said. "Two truths can co-exist at the same time: San Francisco’s violent crime rate is below comparably sized cities like Jacksonville [Florida] and Fort Worth [Texas] — and there is also more we must do
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said New York City is being “destroyed” by President Joe Biden’s migrant crisis during a panel discussion in Washington, DC, hosted by the African American Mayors Association.
“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” Adams bluntly stated. Adams was joined on the panel by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), and outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D). Adams seemingly took a shot at other New York City officials, accusing them of not fighting hard enough to get federal resources to the city. “And none of my folks came to Washington, DC, to fight for the resources
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) got a warm reception at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th-anniversary summit just outside Washington, D.C., on Friday, softening a difficult weak that featured a wave of Florida lawmakers endorsing former President Trump for 2024.
Facing a friendly conservative audience of around 1,070 that greeted him with a standing ovation, DeSantis, who has not yet declared for 2024 but is widely expected to, tested whether he could flaunt signing a six-week abortion ban. DeSantis did not mention the abortion ban bill in a Liberty University speech the day after he signed the bill last week. The measure drew criticism and prompted
This is kind of fun. Maybe Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is crazy like a fox, no? If he can’t wear you out, he’ll wait you out.
A couple of days ago I posted about how McCarthy had gotten the framework for a debt ceiling bill banged out with his fractious bunch of coconuts. In a speech given at the New York Stock Exchange, the Speaker put forth the meat of the GOP proposals, said they would have a bill to vote on “in weeks,” and, again, asked the president to please meet in good faith negotiations.
The answer was the classic Democrat MAGA MAGA MAGA boilerplate

Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira may have been distributing secret intelligence related to the war in Ukraine earlier and to a larger audience than previously known, according to a report. The New York Times reported on Friday that a Discord user matching the profile of Teixeira began sharing classified information in a chat group with roughly 600 members just days after Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The newly discovered information details Russian and Ukrainian casualty numbers lists the activities of the Kremlin’s spy agencies and includes updates on aid being provided to Kyiv, according to the report.

President Biden signed an executive order on Friday directing all federal agencies to make it their “mission” to work toward “environmental justice for all.”
The order, which comes one day before Earth Day, also creates a White House Office of Environmental Justice. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines environmental justice as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.”
The order aims to “better protect overburdened communities from pollution and environmental harms.” It claims that “racism is a fundamental driver of environmental injustice,”
A massive explosion rocked the Russian border city of Belgorod yesterday. It’s an area that has faced repeated bombings that the Russians have blamed on Ukrainian UAV activity. But what happened on Thursday was far more than a UAV bombing. This was something bigger.
According to reports, there was “a blast that made nearby apartment buildings tremble and threw a car on a store roof.” The bombing left a 66-foot-wide crater in the middle of the street. Everyone wondered what in the hell Ukraine hit them with.
Well… it wasn’t Ukraine. The Russian military has instead admitted that one of their own bombers accidentally dropped the bomb

units on Mexico border as Title 42 end approaches 9 replies
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has mobilized special units to the southern border to assist the U.S. Border Patrol as the end of Title 42 approaches and large numbers of migrants are expected to cross into the United States.
Speaking to the Southwestern Border Sheriff's Coalition in McAllen, Abbott told sheriffs from 33 counties that Texas will send units to keep an eye on the border and assist agents.
"Pull out your calculator and do the math. If you were to average that out on a daily basis across an entire year, it would mean more than six million people coming across the border in a single year,"
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, who sought to replace the California governor in a failed 2021 recall effort, announced Thursday he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Elder, 70, made the announcement on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and followed up with a tweet.
“America is in decline, but this decline is not inevitable. We can enter a new American Golden Age, but we must choose a leader who can bring us there. That’s why I’m running for President,” he wrote.
The long-shot candidate joins a Republican field that includes former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and entrepreneur Vivek
Plans are in motion for President Joe Biden to formally announce his bid for a second term as soon as next week, with a campaign-style video set to be released to definitively answer the question of whether he will run again and igniting an aggressive fundraising effort to help Democrats hold the White House.
Biden’s small circle of close-knit advisers and allies are preparing for a video announcement Tuesday that would coincide with the anniversary of Biden’s 2019 campaign announcement, according to four sources familiar with the matter.
Advisers inside and outside the White House caution that timing could still change, pending unforeseen events

A Democratic congresswoman had a rather bizarre message for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at a congressional hearing yesterday: thank you for prioritizing female crash test dummies in vehicle safety tests.Sporting her trademark purple hair, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) thanked President Joe Biden’s top advisor on transportation matters for making “important investments to address the roadway safety crisis including that would accelerate the development of — and this is an area where I’ve written to you about — of the use of female dummies in crash testing
Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend the coronation of King Charles III is said to be partly over “unconscious bias” regarding race, sources have claimed.
Meghan Markle, the wife of wayward British Prince Harry, has reportedly refused to go to her father-in-law’s coronation over an ongoing race row she is having with the UK royal family, sources have told the UK press.
It comes after confirmation that the American actress would stay in California instead of attending the event, with the justification given at the time being that she wants to celebrate her son’s birthday, which falls on the same day.
However, according to a report by The Telegraph,
Utah’s two Republicans in the U.S. Senate have decidedly different reactions to the widening ethics scandal swirling around Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for failing to disclose lavish gifts, expensive vacations and financial dealings with a Texas billionaire.
Thomas has traveled on GOP donor Harlan Crow’s private plane and megayacht for years without reporting those gifts as law requires. Additionally, in 2014 Crow purchased Thomas’ childhood home in Georgia, where he allows Thomas’ mother to live rent-free.
The FBI is closing in on over two dozen potential suspects who were involved in Jack Teixeira's Discord page, where he allegedly leaked security secrets.
It comes as it was revealed Teixeira, the US Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents to a small group of gamers, had been posting sensitive information months earlier than previously known and to a much larger chat group.

It looks like actions might have consequences in the matter of Anheuser-Busch and its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. (snip) But now, it looks like Heinerscheid might be suffering some consequences, too.
AdAge is reporting that the marketing VP has taken a “leave of absence” and has been replaced by Todd Allen, who has been the global marketing VP for Budweiser. (snip) According to a statement from City Distributors, a Topeka, Kans.-based Anheuser-Busich distributor, the custom can decision “circumvented the proper approval channels.”
Now, is that a permanent “leave of absence”? It’s hard to know, but when they replace you, it sure sounds like you might not be coming back.
So much for the “it’ll blow over” philosophy the executives at Bud Light seemed to believe after stupidly sending offensive woman-appropriator Dylan Mulvaney a bunch of Bud Light cans with his face on them. After aligning themselves with the far-left gender hysteria leading thousands of girls to destroy their bodies through surgeries and cross-sex hormones, Anheuser-Busch seems to be suffering the natural consequences of angering everyone. Bud Light has reportedly lost billions in plunging stock prices since the stupid marketing stunt pulled by woke frat-girl Alissa Heinersheid, who believed putting Dylan Mulvaney, a man who equates being a woman to being highly emotional
Rear Admiral Yvette Davids has been nominated to become the first female superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. [snip] She is the first Hispanic woman to command a Navy warship, the frigate USS Curts. She later commanded the USS Bunker Hill, a guided missile cruiser, and Carrier Strike Group 11. But her promotion and appointment likely will be added to the list of more than 100 vacant Pentagon positions that are on hold. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Alabama Republican, has blocked the nominations to protest new, more expansive accommodations for service members seeking abortions set by the Pentagon last summer.
New Yorkers have been on edge in recent years.
And why wouldn’t they be? Crime is soaring, the streets are filthy, and local shop owners are struggling to keep their doors open.
It is apparently the perfect time, in Governor Kathy Hochul’s world, to test-run a plan to completely prohibit the sale of tobacco products in her state, because nothing says “leadership” like inserting yourself in the lives of anxious residents and robbing them of their cigarettes. [Tweet]
According to the New York Post, Hochul’s state Health Department quietly commissioned a new survey to see how the public would react to an all-out ban on tobacco.

A shocking report issued by international legal experts with the backing of the United Nations appears to open the floodgates to normalize sex with minors.
"Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law," the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists wrote in March with an assist from UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The report is titled "The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty."
