50 years ago Concorde first scorched across
the Atlantic. Now snail-paced planes are
a dystopian nightmare and it takes hours
to charge electric cars to go 50 miles.
David Marcus's chilling account of America's
lost ambition
Posted By: Imright, 8/27/2023 8:52:59 PM
Nearly 50 years ago, the Concorde's first, non-stop transatlantic flight was the stuff of science fiction. The sleek, supersonic, 203-foot tailless bird with a downturned nose scorched across the ocean and cast a shock wave over the water implying the promise of a new age of modern travel. It seemed like a beginning. It turned out to be an end. On September 26, 1973, the Concorde's sprint from Washington D.C. to Paris took three and-a-half hours. Today's Boeings cover that distance in more than twice that time. In 1969, four years earlier, American men landed on the Moon in another achievement we can't seem to match these days.

Law Group Sues National Archives Demanding
Federal Agency Turn Over 5,400 Biden Pseudonym Emails 1 reply
Federal Agency Turn Over 5,400 Biden Pseudonym Emails 1 reply
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is being sued to turn over approximately 5,400 emails connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s pseudonym accounts to forward government information and business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others.
Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) filed a federal lawsuit against the agency on Monday after NARA officials confirmed with other sources that Biden used three personal pseudonym email accounts under the names Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware but has since “dragged its feet and still has not produced a single email,” the law group said in a news release.
President Trump announced on Monday that he will appeal Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision to set a trial date for March 4, 2024–the day before Super Tuesday–in the Washington DC case against Trump for speaking out against the stolen 2020 election.
Earlier this month, Trump was hit with four counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the hearing this morning and far-left Judge Chutkan’s set trial date. Trump-hater Tanya Chutkan worked at the same law office as Hunter Biden
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pushed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to answer a question about a congressional July 31 testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devin Archer.
Archer told members of the House Oversight Committee Hunter called his father on speakerphone while surrounded by his foreign business associates on over twenty occasions. Archer also alleged the Biden family “brand” protected Ukrainian energy company Burisma from legal scrutiny.
“We know from a Hunter Biden associate now that he sold the appearance of access to then-Vice President Biden. Are you confident that he had stopped doing that?” Doocy asked.
President Joe Biden walked into the Oval Office with his personal physician, Dr. Kevin O'Conner, after coughing repeatedly during a visit to Eliot-Hine Junior High on Monday.
Biden shook hands with students returning to start a new school year. Several times he paused to cough into his hand before resuming his greetings.
'This is the first time I'm hearing of that,' White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said when asked why Biden was with his doctor. 'Clearly I did not see that. So I can't speak to that.'
Debate darling Vivek Ramaswamy is taking a page from Donald Trump’s book by claiming that his bid for the presidency means he shouldn’t have to give evidence in a court case.
The near-billionaire is fighting a bid to force him to give testimony under oath – saying he is too busy campaigning to find time, court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show.
And he has lashed out at former investors, saying they are trying to scupper his bid for the White House by making him give a deposition linked to a court case about a biotech buyout.
Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to Saturday’s shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, by pushing gun control that would not have prevented the attack.
Harris released a statement Sunday noting the shooting was racially motivated and will be investigated “as a possible hate crime and act of domestic violent extremism.”
She closed her statement by saying, “Every person in every community in America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. And Congress must help secure that freedom by banning assault weapons and passing other commonsense gun safety legislation.”
A University of North Carolina faculty member was killed during a shooting on campus by a graduate student, according to sources.
One person has died during the incident at UNC, according to WRAL, and a 'person of interest' has been arrested.
Pictures of a suspect police say was involved in the shooting show him handcuffed around a mile away from campus after an active shooter alert was issued around campus. Qi can be seen in an image provided to WRAL sitting on the ground and looking down with his hands behind his back, wearing a dark shirt and glasses.

Hunter Biden Case 5 replies
The Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to its probe into the Biden family business, emails unearthed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit show.
The collaboration raises questions about if Weiss’ responses to congressional investigators were under the direction of the DOJ and if Weiss and the DOJ colluded to mislead Congress. The Federalist reported:
Did the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs respond to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson’s May 9, 2022, letter seeking information concerning the Hunter Biden investigation? Weiss posed that question to

Washington—President Joe Biden will observe next month’s 22nd anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil at an Alaska military base with service members and their families, the White House announced.
It will be the first time that a president has not attended any of the observances that have been held annually in New York City, Pennsylvania and Virginia, just outside Washington, according to an Associated Press review of media coverage of these events.
Biden will stop in Alaska for the 9/11 observance at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on his way back to Washington after he attends a summit in New Delhi with other world leaders
The Fisher family farm, a source of healthy food for local consumers in Virginia, was raided by the Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS).
Samuel B. Fisher, who runs Golden Valley Farms, lost his livestock and meat-processing facility as the state condemned and seized his property. The act has resulted in not just loss of income but also a crisis of trust in a community that prides itself on independence and sustainable farming.
Golden Valley Farms has been serving around 500 consumers through its farm’s membership program.
From their website:
We are a family farm located in Farmville, Virginia in Cumberland County.
A member of President Joe Biden’s counsel’s office met with a top member of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team nine weeks before he indicted former President Donald Trump in the classified document case, White House visitor logs show.
The meeting between Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, and Jay Bratt, a top aide to special counsel Jack Smith, raises questions about whether the White House politically influenced or interfered in the DOJ’s case against Trump, Joe Biden’s political rival.
The 10:00 a.m. meeting on March 31, 2023, between Saba and Bratt included an FBI agent
Police have issued a picture of a University of North Carolina graduate student who they have identified as a 'person of interest' after an active shooter alert was issued around campus.
Tailei Qi, who says he graduated from Wuhan University in 2015, has been pictured as someone UNC police want to speak to in connection with the incident.
According to the UNC website, the suspect image matches an ID photo for Qi, who is studying at the Department of Applied Physical Sciences.

Here we go again— the Biden Administration has plans to roll out a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, requiring Americans to get another jab.
Despite declaring earlier this year that COVID is no longer a threat, President Joe Biden said his administration will "likely" recommend that all Americans receive the updated booster, including children.
Over the weekend, the president told reporters that he plans to ask Congress for additional funds to develop a new vaccine, adding that he may force everyone to take it whether they previously received the initial vaccine.
"Yes, I can," Biden said.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that InfoWars published insider information that alleges the TSA and US Border Patrol will be moving back to 2020-era COVID-19 mandates and restrictions starting in mid-September through mid-October, to include mask mandates on all flights. This is in addition to the confirmed mask-mandate reinstatement at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, GA, and Lionsgate Studios in Santa Monica, CA.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, a candidate for the GOP nomination, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that that he was “confident” former President Donald Trump would not be the 2024 GOP nomination.
Pence said, “Well, look, I signed a pledge to be on that stage to say I would support the Republican nominee. I remain confident, more confident after Wednesday night, that Republican nominee will not be the former president.” He continued, “We’re going to give the American people the standard bearer for the GOP that’s going to be able to lead us to victory against Joe Biden and the radical left. You know,
U.S. President Joe Biden said Friday he plans to request more money from Congress to develop a fresh coronavirus vaccine, adding he may require everyone to take it whether they have been previously vaccinated or not.
“I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress, a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works,” Biden, who is vacationing in the Lake Tahoe area, told reporters.
He added it’s “tentatively” recommended “that everybody get it,” once the new shots are ready and out of the lab.
Rome—Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried
On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.
Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests.
Pope Francis said there is a “very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” in the U.S. Catholic church, that is “backwards” and has led the church to replace faith with “ideology,” according to a new transcript of the comments released Monday.
The remarks came during a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order during a visit to Lisbon on August 5, per a transcript of the meeting published by the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica.
A Portuguese Jesuit told Francis that he struggled during a recent sabbatical year in the U.S. after coming across many Catholics, including bishops, who were critical of Francis’s papacy and today’s Jesuits, at which point

Parents of high schoolers at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, have been warned by the school’s principal there may be “protests” and “disruptions” over Kayla Lemieux’s hiring, in a memo obtained by the Toronto Sun.
“We are writing to you today because we anticipate the school your child is attending this year, Nora Frances Henderson, may receive some level of public attention, and we want to communicate what this means for you
The Republican primary debate charade, hosted by a hapless Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, revealed two things: Vivek Ramaswamy is a rising star, and Donald Trump dominated as the elephant not in the room. The Democrats and the media run a constant clown show, but the Republicans play along as useless puppets, willfully participating in a system designed to destroy them. The Republican party is allowing itself to be rigged by playing by the rules of an old system that no longer exists. The Democrats, bureaucracy, and media are vicious apparatchiks. They are a dirty and obvious enemy who clearly need to be fought.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year.
In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.
The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.
There are still no answers from the FBI on why they found it necessary to raid the home of a disabled US veteran and shoot him dead on the morning of August 16th.
Theodore Deschler was shot and killed when FBI agents raided his home near Henderson, Tennessee.
Now Deschler’s family are looking for answers. There is still no news from the government on why they had to break out the windows, toss smoke bombs into the home, and then shoot Deschler who was unarmed at the time.
The story first broke on local WBBJ on August 16th.
