‘Everyone should carry naloxone, get trained to use it and to recognize the signs of overdose’

A Republican Congresswoman is warning America that the fentanyl crisis – exacerbated by President Biden’s lax border policies and liberal crime policies – has gotten so bad that New York City is now calling on its citizens to carry NARCAN with them at all times to help save people whose lives are threatened by drug overdose.

“This morning our city put out an advisory that the people of the City of New York should carry around NARCAN with them – that’s how bad the fentanyl crisis has gotten,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said at a press event with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Wednesday – “recommending the citizens of New York walk around with NARCAN.”

NARCAN is the best-known brand for naloxone. NARCAN’s website in its “FAQs” (frequently asked questions) section describes NARCAN this way: “NARCAN Nasal Spray was designed to rapidly reverse the effects of a life-threatening opioid emergency. Is is used to revive someone during an overdose from many prescription pain medications or street drugs such as heroin and is available as an over-the-counter treatment.”

It states: “Naloxone, the active ingredient in NARCAN Nasal Spray, competes with opioids to bind the same receptors in the brain, reversing the effects of an opioid overdose in 2 to 3 minutes. This allows time for emergence medical help to arrive,” answering the question, “How does NARCAN Nasal Spray work?”

In a Sept. 25 New York City Health Department press release, Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said: “This crisis is killing a New Yorker every three hours and is impacting every individual and family in our city and in our nation. No one is spared, even if you think otherwise. If you use drugs, know someone who is using drugs, or might be around drug use, there are simple steps we can take.

“First, everyone should carry naloxone, get trained to use it and to recognize the signs of overdose. Second, no one should use or allow anyone else to use drugs alone. Third, if you use drugs, seek care, support and treatment, we have a range of options and harm reduction is the foundation. And lastly, everyone should have a candid, judgement-free conversation at your kitchen table about drugs and their danger. We’re all in this together,” Vasan said.

At the Capitol press event, Malliotakis said, “We had a one-year-old baby die last week at a day care center where there was a drug ring in the basement of that facility. Between the bail law of New York that allows drug traffickers and drug dealers back on to our streets, and the open border, this is the crisis that we’re seeing. Unprecedented.”

Conservative journalist Collin Rugg cited the NARCAN advisory to illustrate how far New York City has fallen, and said, “Life didn’t have to be this way, NYC.”

His X post ends: “Sad to see what NYC has become.”

HILARIOUS! President Trump Imitates 80-Year-Old Joe Biden Getting Lost on Stage (VIDEO)

On Friday, former President Donald Trump made a high-profile appearance at the California GOP Convention in Anaheim Anaheim Marriott Hotel in Orange County as part of his ongoing efforts to solidify support within the Republican party.

Orange County, a conservative enclave in Southern California, gave Trump a rock star welcome.

“We are thrilled to welcome President Trump back to the CAGOP convention stage for the first time since our 2016 convention,” CAGOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said in a statement. “As California Republicans prepare to play a major role in deciding who our party’s 2024 presidential nominee will be, I look forward to President Trump speaking with our delegates about his plans to move our country forward.”

During his speech, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to conservative principles and called for unity within the party. He outlined his vision for the future of the Republican Party and emphasized the importance of regaining control in the upcoming elections.

Trump also mocked Biden for routinely getting lost on stage. Humor often serves as a powerful tool to highlight the absurdities and shortcomings of those in power. Donald Trump has never shied away from using comedy to make a point.

Trump imitated Joe Biden’s moments of confusion, and the result was nothing short of hilarious.

Trump pretended to lose his way on stage and looked bewildered. “Where am I? Trump said, perfectly capturing Biden’s confused demeanor.

“Nah, he’s terrible. You know, I’m much tougher on him than I used to be. Out of respect for the office, I was never like – He’s the most corrupt president, the most incompetent president we’ve ever had.”

WATCH:

Trump is not wrong, though. Here’s the receipt:

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the Biden-Harris HQ account on X(Twitter), for some reason, thought they were dunking on President Trump for basking in the warm reception by supporters while Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. played before his speech in California Friday, saying, “Trump just stands there on stage pointing at people,” over a nearly two-minute video of Trump acknowledging his supporters at the California Republican Convention in Anaheim.

The response by the Trump War room account was swift (within four minutes!) and savage, “At least he stands on stage,” posted over a photo of Biden after he tripped and fell hard at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony on June 1.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “There’s Lots Coming, So Stay Tuned” – Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) Discusess Budget Battle and Biden Impeachment Hearing, Says MORE Evidence of Biden Corruption to be Released!

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) on Friday spoke to The Gateway Pundit about the ongoing battle over a continuing resolution in the House and Thursday’s House Oversight hearing on “The Basis for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.”

Gosar joked that he lived rent-free in the heads of his siblings, who have been publicly outpoken against him, during the first hearing in the Biden impeachment inquiry. “I still love them. I still say prayers for them. But I can’t agree with them,” he assured us. “I am still my mom’s favorite.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on the full hearing. Watch the full hearing here:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, The Democrats on the Committee repeatedly claimed that the investigations and impeachment inquiry into the most corrupt President in history is highly politicized and an attempt by “MAGA extremists” to distract from Joe Biden’s indictments against President Trump. This is despite the fact that the Biden Regime is attempting to jail their leading political opponent with four separate indictments using Marxist, Soros-funded DAs and far-left federal prosecutors.

TGP correspondent Jordan Conradson spoke to Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for a moment when he stepped out of the hearing, who said the evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption and bribery in 23 different countries is “overwhelming.”

“I Think The Evidence is Overwhelming” – Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Speaks to TGP Reporter Jordan Conradson Outside House Oversight Impeachment Hearing

The sick Democrats are so desperate to cover for the Biden Crime family that they claimed Joe Biden was simply “guilty of loving his child.”

Gosar commented on this and the proposed solutions to the looming government shutdown on October 1. The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson recently spoke to Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) about this issue and Biden’s impeachment. In the exclusive interview, Crane expressed opposition to a 30-day Continuing Resolution, telling The Gateway Pundit that keeping the spending levels where they are for 30 days “is completely unacceptable when you have all of these issues all over the country,” including the border, the rogue FBI, and America’s escalation of the war in Ukraine.

Gosar told The Gateway Pundit, “I’m not interested in a 30-day CR. I’m not interested in a 45-day CR. I’m interested maybe in a two to three, maybe maximum seven day, temporary funding mechanism while we get our work done, and we ought to be doing that this weekend.”

Gosar discussed budget issues in the House, the Biden impeachment inquiry, and new evidence of their corruption with TGP correspondent Jordan Conradson on Friday.

Listen to the full interview below:

Conradson: Do you think that the House is going to have enough votes for impeachment? I mean, you saw what they did to President Trump; they impeached him twice. And they did it so quickly too. Why is this moving so slowly?

Gosar: Well, you know, they want to do it right. I don’t blame them for wanting to do it right. There are a lot of things going wrong here in this country: the way Donald Trump has been treated, the way we’re spending like drunken sailors, there’s no accountability, there’s no process for the people to have their members of Congress be part of the solution. They were always reserved as part of the problem. So, there’s a lot of a lot of things going on here, Jordan. And in order to get this country back, which it’s slipping away very, very fast, we have got to bring law and order back to the books, equal application of the laws, we have to hold people accountable to those laws and make sure that the good ideas come to the forefront on behalf of the American public; include them not disclude them.

Conradson:  Do you think the House will have enough votes to impeach Biden?

Gosar: I don’t know. Like I said, we may not because there’s still some people dragging their feet, but we got to use this to put the heat on those other people, those prosecutors, federal prosecutors. I can think of one right here in DC. He needs to be drug up here. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that. Who controls DC? Congress. Before, it was Nancy Pelosi with her weird idea of the way Justice is: you’re guilty until you prove yourself innocent. That is a bunch of horse—. That’s not the way that our Constitution is configured. So, even if we ought to be doing that, I think that you make a bigger impact by getting after those because think about this, you’re probably not gonna get Joe Biden in the Senate. But make the Senators vote against taking up the prosecutors that have done wrong things, restructure this so that you’re actually holding people accountable. Turn over the J6 tapes, and pay people $5,000 if they find an undercover asset that hasn’t been discovered and it’s proven. Embrace America; don’t run from her, run to her Have her help you. These people that want something to do, put them to work to help us out. We don’t have all the good ideas. In fact, I think we have many of the crappiest ideas here. So listen to the American public.

Conradson: This reminds me of Rashida Talib. The Democrats, during the impeachment hearing, they were claiming that this was all a politicized impeachment with no evidence, which of course, we know is BS. Rashida Talib said in January 2019, about a year before President Trump was impeached for the first time, “we’re going to impeach the mother F–er.” So, do you think that’s political? Is it ironic that they impeached Trump for made-up quid pro quo, and Joe Biden is participating in quid pro quo and bribes all over the world, and they still won’t impeach him? Instead, they steal Republican talking points, pretty much?

Gosar: Well, you know, what I loved about yesterday was that, you know, I have a feeling, I live in my siblings’ heads free of charge. Donald Trump lives in the heads of Democrats free of charge. In fact, he’s dancing. He’s still dancing every day in their heads. They are so anti-Trump. They hate him because he represents what’s wrong with America, what’s wrong with this government, and he’s going to tear it down, and they know it. You know, if you don’t go get the king, and the king gets reelected, the kings gonna take you out, and we need a flush. And I say that properly. We need a flush of this government. We need the 10th Amendment, that’s why Ron DeSantis has got to be a governor of Florida, to send back those powers that We The People, and the States were given that have now been given back to the federal government. We need to flush that back to the states and hold the states accountable. We can’t do this without doing that first. And so, there’s a reckoning coming here. I think the world of the former President. I think that he doesn’t agree with me on everything and I don’t agree with him on everything. But we agree that where we’re at in this timeframe and his policies, how much better would you be off with his policies?

Conradson: Democrats argued yesterday that Biden is simply “guilty of loving his child” and that he’s not guilty of the criminal misconduct that is shown in the evidence, um, would you do this for members of your family just because you love them? What would you do what Joe Biden did for for Hunter Biden?

Gosar: Absolutely not. Absolutely not because what I’ve said all along. They have taken the back end of a stick to me. It takes seven of them, and they still can’t take up their oldest brother, and I’m still my mom’s favorite. I have stood the line. I have taken the hits, and I keep on ticking. And that just tells me you stand for something, you stand for what’s right, you stand with the American people, you will be rewarded by having your voice heard and being helped. And from that standpoint, there’s no way I would break the law to help out my family. It’s not possible because this is a tough love and doing what’s right, and it’s a community. And so if you allow a sibling or a family member to get by, go past collect $200, do not go to jail, you’re not helping the situation, you’re actually enabling the situation.

Conradson: The House Ways and Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday confirmed that Hunter Biden sold access to Joe Biden in 23 countries, including new evidence that shows Hunter used Joe Biden’s influence to gain influence with Mexican billionaires like Carlos Slim. He took Air Force Two to Mexico. Do you think they’re involved with the cartel? You know, is this why Joe Biden has left the border wide open?

Gosar: Well, I don’t know all the things, but I want to see those, and sitting on Government Oversight, we’re gonna get a chance to see those, but it is definite that this individual who’s in the White House has been compromised. It is important to know that and that we need to get to the bottom of this. And so I think that all those documents will set us free, and that’s why we should start like this. That is one place I will tell the speaker he’s right. You start the inquiries, impeachment inquiry with what we talked about yesterday. Johnathan Turley with the legal aspect, the IRS lady with the IRS background, and the forensic accountant who tells you what you should be looking for. So, we should have all this, we should continue on forward, and I know that as our chairman comer has said, you know, read them in weep.

Conradson: Are you aware of any new evidence that they’re going to expose over the coming weeks?

Gosar: I’m sure there is. There’s lots coming, so stay tuned.

Robert Kennedy’s Latest Move Could Sink Biden’s Chances at 2024 – Report

This Twitter screen shot shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leaving a stage and receiving a standing ovation.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce he will run as an independent instead of as a Democrat in the 2024 general election.

RFK Jr. will make the announcement on October 9 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to Mediaite.

Kennedy himself confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, that he had an announcement set for that date, though he remained coy about specifics in his teaser announcement:

“Hi everybody, I’m going to be in Philadelphia on October 9 to make a major announcement at the very birthplace of our nation,” Kennedy said. “I’m not going to tell you right now exactly what that announcement will be.

“I can say, though, that if you’ve been waiting to come to one of my public events, this will be the one to come to.”

Mediaite reports that the Kennedy campaign plans to run attack ads against the Democratic National Committee to “pave the way” in the lead up the the event.

“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite.

The presidential candidate told Fox News earlier this month the DNC has fixed the primary process.

“The DNC has been very public, although its charter requires it to be neutral in presidential campaigns, has been very open about the fact that it has its candidate. It’s irritated that it has to have a primary season at all,” Kennedy said.

Part of rigging the process, he argued was making the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary first, displacing the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary.

Biden finished fourth in the Iowa Caucus and fifth in the New Hampshire primary in 2020.

Kennedy noted that the New Hampshire law requires the Granite State to have the first in the nation primary.

RFK Jr said the DNC has also structured the fundraising rules in such as a way that Biden donors can give substantially more to his candidacy than Kennedy’s can.

The son of the late Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy could play the spoiler in the 2024 election hurting Biden.

“In a general election, Democrats worry that a third-party run by Mr. Kennedy could draw votes away from Mr. Biden and help elect former President Donald J. Trump,” The New York Times reported.

“We’ve been very clear that third parties in close elections can be very dangerous and would almost certainly hurt the president,” Matt Bennett, a co-founder of the centrist Democratic group Third Way, told the Times in response to rumors RFK Jr. could run as a Libertarian candidate.

Ross Perot ran the most successful independent presidential candidacy in recent decades, garnering 18.9 percent of the popular vote, though winning no state in the Electoral College.

However, Perot may well have cost incumbent Pres. George H.W. Bush a second term, by taking more votes from him than Democrat Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton.

If Kennedy pulled a net even 1 or 2 percent of the vote in key swing states from Biden, it could make the difference if the results are similar to 2020 in places like Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin.

The latest Democratic primary polling from FiveThirtyEight shows Biden with 61.6 percent support to Kennedy’s 15.1 percent.

Donald Trump: Shoot the Looters (Video)

President Trump unveiled his new rule to stop the epidemic of looting across the US today in Democrat strongholds.

Robbery and theft is so bad in several major US cities with Democrat leaders that businesses are leaving the city. In San Francisco, just 3% of restaurants say they were not victims of vandalism or property crime this past month!

President Trump discussed a common sense way to stop looting in major cities today – shoot the looters!

President Trump: “Walk into a store, a big department store and just pillage it. And if you happen to be there when they are there they’ll knock the hell out of you and kill you in some cases. And we will immediately stop all the pillaging and theft, very simply. If you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store.”

It would definitely stop the looting.
Another problem solved.

Retired Officers Still Lying About Ukraine While Media Coming to Grips with the Unfolding Debacle

Whew! That’s a long title. Sorry, but needed to be said. Let’s start with David Petraeus. He never learned the the first rule of crisis management — “when you’re in a hole, stop digging.” If he keeps this up he will carve out a hole that leads to China. Here is what he posted recently on his Linked-In page:

2 September 2023: An exceptional report by the NYT’s Marc Santora that describes how the Ukrainians are conducting the offensive operations that are now slowly retaking territory in the south — and validating assessments that the Ukrainians have adapted their tactics effectively…

Key points:
“The mission for the Ukrainian unit was to take a single house, in a village that is only a speck on the map but was serving as a stronghold for Russian soldiers.

Andriy, a veteran marine, had waited for three days with his small assault team — none of whom had seen combat before — as other Ukrainian units crawled through minefields, stormed trenches and cleared a path to the farming village of Urozhaine. Finally… the order came to move. . . .

The months long campaign to breach heavily fortified Russian lines is being conducted in… many forms of battle, with artillery duels and drone strikes across the breadth of the front… But the engine driving the effort are hundreds of small-scale assault groups, often just eight to 10 soldiers, each tasked with attacking a single trench, tree line or house.

In this tactical approach, small villages loom large. They line paved roads, facilitating transport, and the buildings, even those ravaged by shelling, provide a measure of cover…

Effective operations? Not so fast. NY Times is out with another piece. How about the canard that Ukraine is taking more territory than the Russians? The graphics in the NY Times piece tell a different story:

The New York Times is loathe to admit that its reporting has been wrong — the article praised by Petraeus is a case in point — about Ukraine’s progress in its long-awaited counter offensive. But the Times does make this grudging admission:

Ukraine’s counteroffensive has struggled to push forward across the wide-open fields in the south. It is facing extensive minefields and hundreds of miles of fortifications — trenches, anti-tank ditches and concrete obstacles — that Russia built last winter to slow Ukrainian vehicles and force them into positions where they could be more easily targeted.

When both sides’ gains are added up, Russia now controls nearly 200 square miles more territory in Ukraine compared with the start of the year.

Russia is taking a page out of Muhammed Ali’s playbook — Rope-a-Dope. This is especially true on the southern front. Ukraine is relentlessly throwing troops and vehicles against rugged Russian defenses. The three “Surovikin” defensive lines are not Alamo emplacements. What do I mean? Russia troops have not taken a vow to defend each line to the last man. Nope. The Russian doctrine is to bend, withdraw to new positions and create a salient. They then clobber the Ukrainian units with massive artillery, missile and bomb barrages, which forces the Ukrainians to retreat, suffering horrific casualties in the process. I guess we can call this “Rumble in the Steppes.”

Ali’s strategy entailed letting Foreman punch himself into exhaustion and then nailing Foreman with punishing shots. That is precisely what Russia is doing in the south along the Surovikin lines, which is why Ukraine has not even defeated the first line of defense.

Petraeus is not alone in his foolishness. The British version of General Dave is retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell. Here is his latest punditry on Sky News:

Bell is a lousy analyst. He falsely claims that Russia’s declining use of attack helicopters on the front lines is because Ukraine is shooting them down. Nope. The Russian Alligator copters are used against armored columns. Guess what — Russia has destroyed so many of the Ukrainian armored assets that Ukraine — confirmed by the New York Times and others — is no longer sending those vehicles forward. Instead, Ukraine is using pick up trucks to drop small groups of soldiers off and they have to march forward into fields of fire without armor. If you have fewer targets to hit you are going to have fewer flights.

Oh, and one more thing. Russia is producing helicopters faster than Ukraine can shoot them down.

Ray McGovern and I talked about this and other facets of the war in Ukraine with Judge Napolitano today:

Family of Christian Teen Condemned to Death by Doctors Sounds Alarm

Sudiksha Thirumalesh

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

‘We have been gagged, silenced, and prevented from accessing specialist treatment’

The family of a very ill but fully conscious Christian patient in the United Kingdom condemned to die after doctors said she was not able to make decisions and should not be allowed to seek life-saving treatments abroad is speaking out.

According to a report in CBN, the family of Sudiksha Thirumalesh, 19, issued a statement after the teen’s death just days ago.

“We want to thank the medical practitioners who did their best for Sudiksha. To those few clinicians who seemed only to care about Sudiksha dying, we forgive you. We are a Christian family who believes in life, love, and forgiveness.”

They continued, “Sudiksha was a wonderful daughter and sister who we will cherish forever. We cannot imagine life without her. We seek justice for Sudiksha today, and for others in her situation.

“We are deeply disturbed by how we have been treated by the hospital trust and the courts. We have been gagged, silenced, and most importantly, prevented from accessing specialist treatment abroad for Sudiksha. Had she been allowed to seek nucleoside treatment six months ago it may well be that she would still be with us and recovering.”

The teen died last week following a lengthy hospital and court battle in which the U.K.’s National Health Service prevented her from seeking potentially life-saving treatments abroad.

For months, the courts, at the insistence of the NHS, refused to give the family permission even to release her name. Even now, the court’s have ordered a complete censorship of the name of the health institution and doctors involved in depriving her of an option to be treated abroad.

She was diagnosed with a rare Mitochondrial disease that caused muscle weakness, loss of hearing and kidney damage.

Despite her health condition, she was fully conscious and able to communicate, seeking permission to try to find a successful treatment, explaining she would rather “die trying to live.’

Doctors, who still remain in hiding behind the court-ordered anonymity, refused her permission to that, effectively prescribing death for her.

She had sought permission from the Court of Protection to travel to Canada to join a clinical trial of cutting-edge nucleoside treatment to help her, but was refused, the report said.

“A judgment from Mrs. Justice Roberts in the weeks before her death disturbingly said that Sudiksha did not have the capacity to make such decisions after the NHS lawyers argued she was ‘delusional’ for disagreeing with the hospital’s view that her condition was hopeless and she had to be put on an end of life pathway. The ruling was made despite two psychiatrists providing evidence to the contrary,” according to Christian Concern, which advocated for the ill teen.

“The family, Thirumalesh Chellamal Hemachandran, Revathi Malesh Thirumalesh, and her brother Varshan Chellamal Thirumalesh, spent all their savings on legal fees to stop NHS from pursuing efforts to end her life,” the reported explained.

When the NHS put her on “palliative care,” after the court’s fatal ruling, she died of kidney failure.

Now pending in the courts is a request by the family to “name the hospital, the hospital trust, and the clinicians involved in their daughter’s situation.”

Andrea Williams, chief of the Christian Legal Center, told the publication, “This profoundly disturbing case has demonstrated the urgent need for an overhaul into how critical care decisions are made in the NHS and the courts. There is an urgent need for a more open and transparent system. Justice is done in the light and not behind closed doors.”

The case exhibited many similarities to the cases involving Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, and Archie Battersbee, where each time the NHS asked the Court of Protection to authorize the removal of life-saving medical treatment so that they would die.

WND reported when the judge’s fatal ruling came down that the judge had refused to accept the testimony of multiple expert psychiatrists who said she was mentally alert and competent.

The report noted that the judge claimed she wasn’t, based on the fact that she had hope that an experimental treatment would be found that could help.

America, The Not So Beautiful, Has No Business Lecturing Other Countries

Zombie Drug: New Medicine 'Xylazine' Turning US Streets To 'Zombieland', Causing Deadly Symptoms - YouTube

America, like a strung out crack addict, is in desperate need of an intervention. I will warn you up front — the following videos are hard to watch. Eating while viewing is discouraged. You want a clue on how screwed up things are in the United States? When I pulled up one of the videos on YouTube I was shown an ad for NetJets. Think about that. I am about to see a video of drug addicts and mentally ill homeless people and the algorithm shows me a service that caters to the upper 1% of wealthy Americans. And trust me on this, I am not wealthy. That juxtaposition of an up-scale ad with a video of massive human suffering defines what the United States has become.

The numbers of homeless across our “fruited plains” are massive. In Los Angeles alone the Mayor’s office has counted more than 46,000. That is roughly the size of the 12 Ukrainian brigades that launched the ill-fated counter offensive in June. Thirty years ago homelessness was not common. Yes, it existed, but not in the epidemic dimensions we see today. I think this is a human time bomb waiting to explode. American is destroying itself by sending trillions of dollars overseas to fund never-ending military operations (euphemism for “wars”) while Americans addicted to narcotics or battling mental illness pile up. They aren’t corpses yet, but the people on these streets are headed in that direction. The Wall Street Journal reported a few months ago that the number of homeless is rising.

I think the United States has lost the right to lecture any other country about violations of human rights. Americans need to look in the damn mirror. We are living in a rundown glass house throwing rocks (and missiles) at other countries.

The following videos cover New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland (Oregon) and Seattle. First up, New York City.

The images from Boston are taken near Harvard University.

Philadelphia’s Kensington Avenue is described as a drug zombie apocalypse.

Then there is Los Angeles.

San Francisco used to be a great city to visit. Those days are over.

Portland, Oregon is another nightmare.

And then there is Seattle, Washington.

I am particularly interested in what my readers who live outside the United States think about this. The American “Dream” is still attracting millions of illegal migrants. I suspect they are now coming to the realization that America is becoming a Mad Max hellish landscape. I doubt that the military planners at the Pentagon are considering what would happen to the supply chains that keep these major cities afloat if we go to war with China or Russia. The complete breakdown of law and order is a nightmare scenario that is not farfetched.

Winter is coming. While Washington is busy worrying about how to get more money to Ukraine, America’s political leaders are re-enacting Nero fiddling while Rome is burning. But instead of one city engulfed in metaphorical flames, it is dozens.

Perverts on Ice: Plagued by Sexual Harassment and Assault, US McMurdo Station in Antarctica Stops Serving Alcohol in Bars – Alleged Victims Weigh In on the Measures

Down at the White Continent, it was every woman for herself. Now, things seem to be changing. But are they?

In McMurdo Station, the United States Antarctic research station on the south tip of Ross Island, a cluster of buildings hugging the frozen shore is operated by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

It’s the largest community in Antarctica, with up to 1,200 residents, a hub for American scientific activities on the ‘snow desert’.

It’s also a place where, reportedly, a culture of rampant sexual harassment and assault has developed, along with a correspondent pattern by the management of minimizing women’s claims.

Starting Sunday, the workers at the base will no longer be able to buy alcohol at the bars, after the NSF decided to stop serving alcohol.

Associated Press reported:

“McMurdo Station will not be going entirely dry, the National Science Foundation confirmed. Researchers and support staff will still be able to buy a weekly ration of alcohol from the station store. But the policy shift could prove significant because the bars have been central to social life in the isolated environment.”

These changes come right as concerns grow that sexual misconduct is festering at McMurdo, so it’s hard not to see it as connected.

The NSF says that the changes involving alcohol are ‘related to morale and welfare at the base’, and were not directed at preventing sexual harassment or assault.

“Under the new rules taking effect Sunday, workers will be able to order only alcohol-free drinks at McMurdo’s two main bars, Southern Exposure and Gallagher’s. They will still be able to bring their own alcohol to drink at the bars. A third venue which also served alcohol, the Coffee House, will become entirely alcohol-free but will now stay open for workers to visit any time of the day or night.”

The ration allows Antarctic workers to buy up to the equivalent of 18 beers each week, or three bottles of wine, or a 750 milliliter (25 ounce) bottle of spirits.

The NSF is also instituting new measures that are specifically aimed at preventing sexual harassment and assault at the base, where typically around 70% of workers are men.

The NSF report, in 2022, showed that 59% of women had experienced harassment or assault while on the base.

72% of women declared that such behavior was a problem in Antarctica.

Jennifer Sorensen alleges she was raped at McMurdo back in 2015. She said the NSF had tried before – without success – to pin the blame on alcohol for the high rates of sexual misconduct at the base.

“’They know full well that all the rationing or denial of alcohol sales being forced on us isn’t going to do a damn thing’, she said.

[…] ‘Alcohol can obviously blur the lines of consent, there’s that issue at play, but overwhelmingly, sexual assault has occurred even when neither party has been consuming alcohol, as was the case with me’, Sorensen said. ‘So it’s definitely not going to eliminate the problem’.”

Other victims also weighed in.

Telegraph reported:

“Britt Barquis said there was ‘no alcohol involved’ when she was groped at McMurdo in 2017.

She continued: ‘I was later told by my company’s HR that I would have to work with the perpetrator again because his job was mission-critical and there was no one else to fill his role.’

[…] ‘None of these new policies implemented by the NSF would prevent that from happening again.”

Elon Musk Confirms Firing of “Half of Election Integrity” Team at X…Including the Head of the Team

Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported on a post by Elon Musk calling out “dis-information” regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci and the “100% Effective” COVID-19 “Vaccine”.  Musk himself has admitted that he felt like he was “dying” after getting the second experimental jab.  Fortunately, he’s a major voice speaking out about the lie that was forced upon the American people over these experimental jabs.

A Private Entity (EI-ISAC) Provides Security for Elections and Then Manages “Misinformation” for the Same Entities on Behalf of the Federal Government

 

Next up on the “chopping block” for Elon?  Elections.  While Facebook is doubling down on their censorship apparatus by promoting a “17-year-veteran of the CIA” to the “Head of Election Policies”, Elon Musk’s X platform is trying to fix it.  Yesterday, in a post made by the X News Daily account about cutting “half of its Electoral integrity team, including the head of the group”, Musk responded, “Oh you mean the “Election Integrity” Team that was undermining election integrity?  Yeah, they’re gone.”

This seems like a good-faith step towards allowing the free exchange of ideas regarding our elections, both before and after.  Twitter was infamous for censoring the Miranda Devine “Laptop From Hell” story in October of 2020 under the then-public company’s previous leadership.  Other social media conglomerates followed suit.

In addition to fighting for free-speech on social media platforms, The Gateway Pundit has also spearheaded an effort to help deter government influence in the Big Tech censorship apparatus.  The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is one of the lead plaintiffs in the Supreme Court-bound Missouri v. Biden case regarding censorship.

The Gateway Pundit has also revealed contracts between the Department of Homeland Security, the Center for Internet Security (a private non-profit) and local election jurisdictions to federalize, or rather “secure” elections.  For free.  In addition, the Election Infrastructure Information and Sharing Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) has partnered with the Election Integrity Partnership to act as a “singular conduit” for government officials to report “election misinformation”.

America’s Russia JENGA Strategy Is Backfiring

While driving down the road today listening to Alexander Mercouris I suddenly realized that the United States and NATO have been pursuing a JENGA strategy against Russia. A lot of leaders in the NATO club are invested heavily in the belief that if enough pressure is applied to Russia then the country, the economy, the military and society will collapse like a JENGA tower. Only one little problem — that strategy has failed; the opposite happened.

Instead of growing weaker and fracturing, Russia has grown stronger and less dependent on the United States and Europe. The economy is purring along. The Russian defense industry has ramped up to unprecedented levels in the modern Russia era. For example, Russia is churning out more than two million 152mm artillery rounds a year. The Russian army is filling recruitment quotas and turning out fully trained soldiers. Russia is producing surprising numbers of hypersonic missiles and drones, which have transformed the battlefield in Russia’s favor.

Compare that with the United States. The U.S. economy is not doing well. The US bankruptcy court, for example, reported a total of 15,724 bankruptcies in the fiscal year that ended 30 June 2023. This is a 23% increase over the prior year. How about the defense industry? Well, they are raking in bucket loads of cash but turning out very little. Ukraine is running low on 155 mm shells and the United States only is making 340,000 a year. That amount is insufficient to meet Ukraine’s daily requirement. Similar story on the recruitment front — the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are falling short of their annual goals. And despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars on weapon systems, the United States still has not developed and deployed a hyper sonic missile.

The United States is facing multiple, self-inflicted disasters. The flood of illegal immigrants is drowning Democrat led cities, which once touted themselves as sanctuary cities for immigrants. New York’s Governor and the Mayor of New York City both are complaining heatedly about being overwhelmed with undocumented migrants. America’s major cities — New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco are wracked with murders, theft and muggings. The following image, from Philadelphia, is not unique to that city. You will see the same horror in the other major U.S. cities:

So yeah, the United States is playing JENGA, but the tower that will topple is not Russia. It is America that is facing catastrophe. I wish I was engaged in hyperbole, but the social fabric of America is being shredded and the partisan divide is a growing, unbridgeable chasm.

Let me give you a warning indicator. Take a look at this news item from today:

Russia said on Sept. 21 it had temporarily banned gasoline and diesel exports to all but four ex-Soviet states in response to domestic shortages, a move that will disrupt global trade that has already had to adjust to Western sanctions on Russian fuel exports.

Russia eased some of the restrictions on Sept. 25, saying it would allow the export of bunkering fuel for some vessels and diesel with high sulphur content.

Western analysts continue to be blinded by their deep-seated belief that Russia is a crumbling gas station and attributes the shortage to:

a combination of factors including maintenance at oil refineries, bottlenecks on railways and the weakness of the rouble, which incentivizes fuel exports.

Maybe. But let me suggest an alternative explanation. Russia is husbanding its stockpile of diesel fuel as a contingency for an offensive that will take control of Kiev and Odessa. Farfetched? Maybe. Recent remarks by Speaker of Russia’s Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, and echoed byForeign Minister Lavrov and Defense Chief Shoigu, carries an ominous message for the West — Russia is not interested in a negotiated settlement with Ukraine. “Ukraine must surrender on Moscow’s terms or the country will “cease to exist.” These are not isolated, idle, off-the-cuff statements. Russia is sending a very clear message. Will American listen or continue to play Russian JENGA?

Lawsuit Accuses City of Flooding Christian Camp

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

Retaliating for resisting COVID-era revival event where participants were unmasked

A lawsuit has been filed in Illinois charging that officials in the city of Des Plaines are trying to ruin a church campground, directing floodwaters toward its 100-plus-year-old buildings and then demanding they be demolished, at least partly camp officials resisted the city’s COVID-19 ideologies.

The Journal-Topics reports the Chicago District Campground, also known as the Methodist Campground, has unleashed a “blistering rebuttal” to the city’s insistence on demolition for 50 of the camp’s buildings.

Officials at the camp are asserting “the city’s real intention is to ruin the religious organization because it did not capitulate to city demands that it adhere to strict regulations” during a revival event at the camp three years ago, during COVID.

Further, the camp charges it has been subjected to “harmful flooding” because the city took actions to direct floodwaters its way.

Specifically, the camp charges that as part of the city’s Levee 50 operation, city officials “rotated the spigot toward the campground” on activating, resulting, according to the report, “in additional flooding and harm to the campground’s 35 acres — and some of its buildings.”

Did Zelensky Scam Trudeau With An Elderly Nazi?

Yaroslav Hunka, the 98 year old former member of a Nazi SS Division, detonated a public relations bomb with his Friday appearance before the Canadian Parliament and it is continuing to set off secondary and tertiary explosions. Unbelievable. But this is not just a story about Canada celebrating a Nazi murderer. I think the real story is that Ukraine’s President Zelensky played a direct role in making this happen. Why? Because Ukraine reportedly put out a stamp Monday with Hunka’s elderly mug featured prominently with the accompanying title, “Heroes Don’t Die.” Let that settle in for a minute. Why did Zelensky, a Jew, order the pre-production of a stamp celebrating a retired member of the Waffen SS as a “Hero” before he showed up in Canada? This was pre-planned. I think Zelensky and his team genuinely thought this would be a PR victory. Boy! Instead of Canada embracing the elderly SS trooper and rallying support to send more military aid to Ukraine, the country is in an uproar and starting to ask some tough questions..

If the stamp pictured above is legit, it gives away the game. Someone on Zelensky’s side asked Justin Trudeau and his advisors to invite Hunka to Parliament. Someone on the Canadian side had to ask, “Who is this guy and why should we care?” The gullible and ignorant Trudeau accepted the easily disprovable claim that Hunka was a Ukrainian warrior who fought Russians in WW II. Are Trudeau and his team really this stupid? If you are fighting “Russians” in WW II you are with the Nazis. I would not be surprised to learn that Chrystia Freeland, the granddaughter of another Nazi propagandist, had her hands in this.

The following image captures the true dimensions of this as a public relations debacle. The wild welcome of an ex-SS soldier in the Canadian Parliament has confirmed what Vladimir Putin has been saying all along — there are Nazis in Ukraine and Russia is going to get rid of them.

Besides strengthening Russia’s diplomatic position, the appearance of Hunka has made Ukraine’s relations with Poland even more problematic. Poland already had announced it was cutting off grain imports from Ukraine and would no longer deliver weapons across its border before Hunka showed up with Zelensky in Ottawa. Once that news broke, a Polish government minister announced he would seek Hunka’s extradition for war crimes. This is going to create a problem between Poland and Canada as well.

As a further show of Polish pique at Ukraine, Poland announced that its investigation into the S-300 missile that landed on Polish territory last year on November 15, 2022 (which killed two people) had concluded and that Ukraine was the culprit, not Russia. When you add all of this up it is clear that the growing rift between Poland and Ukraine is not going to be healed anytime soon. Poland may even be rethinking whether it wants to continue to be the country walking point for the NATO quest to beat Russia. We’ll see.

And what about Canada? Most sane countries in the world are chortling over one of the worst cases of political malpractice. Trudeau and the members of Parliament were exposed as ignorant hypocrites, as illustrated in the following meme.

Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton Claims Blocking Children’s Access to Explicit Books is ‘White Supremacy’

Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton has signed a letter with 175 other artists denouncing efforts to block children’s access to sexually explicit books as “white supremacy.”

Other signatories of the letter include the usual suspects, such as Bravo’s Andy Cohen, Alyssa Milano, Ariana Grande, Bill Nye, Chelsea Handler, Judd Apatow, Judy Blume, Mark Ruffalo, Zooey Deschanel, and Ron Perlman.

The campaign is being run by far-left organization MoveOn.

“Far-right politicians like Ron DeSantis are championing draconian laws to ban books and the teaching of accurate multicultural American history in favor of upholding a homophobic, transphobic, and white supremacist vision of our nation,” the group’s website states.

The letter states, “This restrictive behavior is not just antithetical to free speech and expression but has a chilling effect on the broader creative field. The government cannot and should not create any interference or dictate what people can produce, write, generate, read, listen to, or consume.”

“We cannot stress enough how these censorious efforts will not end with book bans. It’s only a matter of time before regressive, suppressive ideologues will shift their focus toward other forms of art and entertainment, to further their attacks and efforts to scapegoat marginalized communities, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks,” the letter continues. “We refuse to remain silent as one creative field is subjected to oppressive bans. As artists, we must band together, because a threat to one form of art is a threat to us all.”

The letter concludes by saying, “We are calling on everyone to join us in pushing back against these book bans, support free and open creative industries—regardless of personal or ideological disagreements—and use their voice at the local level to stop these bans in their school districts. There is power in artistic freedom, and we refuse to allow draconian politicians to take that from us.”

Burton also wrote his own statement about the letter, saying, “It’s embarrassing that we are banning books in this country, in this culture, in this day and age. And it’s dangerous that a handful of individuals are deciding that any book with Black and queer people is divisive. I’m proud to be surrounded by hundreds of artists and millions of MoveOn members who are solidly against this type of censorship. We are calling on everyone to join us in raising their voices to uphold artistic freedom, embrace multicultural history, and put a stop once and for all to book bans.”

Burton has previously urged children to read banned books, saying on The Daily Show in 2002 that “that’s where the good stuff is.”
