Democrats in Connecticut Attempting to Pass Law Limiting Free Speech | 4 May 2023 | Democratic lawmakers in Connecticut are trying to set a dangerous precedent by passing a law targeting the limiting of free speech. The legislature is looking to create a "censorship board" to regulate online speech through Senate Bill 6410. The board would consist of nine committee members, with four positions held by the Republican party. The reported aim of the bill is to use the board to study "harassment" of certain individuals, specifically government officials and recommend further legislation to create reporting guidelines, essentially censoring/limiting free speech... This applies both in-person and online. This is why creating a committee to determine what is "harassment" and developing additional legislation is an attack on free speech.

As end of Title 42 looms, 90,000 illegals rush to America's southern border over 10-day period | 5 May 2023 | Title 42 is just days away from coming to an end on May 11. And according to the latest data, some 90,000 illegal aliens have rushed America's southern border just in the past 10 days in the hopes of making it through before their time comes to an end. U.S. Border Patrol says that 73,000 "migrants" crossed the southern border over the past 10 days, as did another 17,000 illegal "gotaways" who reportedly avoided detection and entered the country without permission. Border Patrol makes a distinction between migrants and illegals, in this context, but because just about anyone can decide to be a "migrant," this writer [Station Gossip] is classifying them together as one and the same...

Shocking video shows NYC subway passenger putting unhinged man in deadly chokehold | 2 May 2023 | Dramatic new video shows a straphanger taking matters into his own hands, pinning down an unhinged man in a deadly incident at a Manhattan subway station this week. The 24-year-old passenger stepped in after the vagrant, identified by sources as Jordan Neely, 30, began going on an aggressive rant on a northbound F train Monday afternoon, according to police and a witness who took the video. "He starts to make a speech," freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez said in Spanish during an interview Tuesday, referring to the disturbed man. "He started screaming in an aggressive manner," Vazquez told The Post. "He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn't care if he goes to jail. He started screaming all these things, took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, and threw it on the ground." That's when he said the straphanger came up behind Neely and took him to the ground in a chokehold -- keeping him there for some 15 minutes, Vazquez said.

Hollywood, left-wing foundations behind climate charity quietly bankrolling extremist protest groups | 3 May 2023 | A little-known climate change advocacy organization heavily funded by celebrities and influential left-leaning foundations has been quietly dishing out grants to various activist groups deploying unorthodox and extremist methods across the world to protest fossil fuels, documents reveal. Anti-fossil fuels groups have been ramping up protests in the United States and overseas as part of a coordinated campaign to bring awareness to climate change by vandalizing fine art, blocking major roads, and even gluing themselves to sports cars. Many of these activist hubs are being bankrolled by Climate Emergency Fund, a Beverly Hills-based charity linked to Hollywood celebrities and top liberal nonprofit organizations aiming to shape the Democratic Party's agenda, according to tax forms and other documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner. "Climate Emergency Fund has quickly become the ATM that radical environmental activists turn to fund their latest disruptions," Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of the conservative watchdog Americans for Public Trust, told the Washington Examiner.

Massachusetts college program ends the use of the word 'field': 'May hold negative associations' --The idea was proposed by the College's Toward Racial Justice Plan | 4 May 2023 | A liberal arts college in Massachusetts will now end the use of the word "field" for one of their programs to abide by its commitment to "anti-racist work," according to an email sent by the institution. The Smith College School of Social Work [SSW] announced in an email that they changed the name of their "Office of Field Education" to the "Office of Practicum Learning." Practicum means a practical section of a course of study, according to Merriam-Webster. SSW said that the move is intended to keep them accountable to their values, students, and the Smith SSW community.

Late last year, the U.S. Virgin Islands government and a victim of Epstein separately sued the multinational bank, claiming it participated in and profited off Epstein's sex ring. Now, in the litigation's latest salvo, the Caribbean territory is seeking documents from Page--including communications about "Epstein's role" in his finances--from 2002 through present day. The subpoena also requests correspondence between Page and Epstein, and Page and JPMorgan; documents showing fees the Google billionaire paid to Epstein or JPMorgan; and records touching on "Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex." In a legal filing on Thursday, the Virgin Islands asked a federal judge to authorize alternative service on Page after it was apparently unable to find him.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Google founder Larry Page will be deposed over two days over the bank's links to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein --JPMorgan Chase's CEO will be deposed at the end of this month over his bank's links to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein --Investigators are looking into whether the bank can be held liable for profiting from Epstein's illegal acts --The investigators have also subpoenaed Google's founder Larry Page: Epstein allegedly courted Page as a client for JPMorgan Chase | 4 May 2023 | The CEO of JPMorgan Chase and co-founder of Google are both being asked to testify about Jeffrey Epstein's financial interests, as prosecutors in the U.S. Virgin Islands continue to try and unravel the late pedophile's financial web.

Jordan Neely's Criminal Record: Man Killed on Subway Had 42 Prior Arrests | 4 May 2023 | The killing of a black man on a New York City subway train after fellow riders tackled him and one put him in a chokehold [after Neely threatened people in the train] has brought outrage as well as attention to the man's arrest history... A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely's record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident. Many of Neely's arrests were for alleged violations of local law, the spokesperson said, and involved lower-level offenses such as having an open container of alcohol in public. [Here are a few details on the 2021 "incident" which News[sic]week "forgot" to mention, regarding AOC's newest hero: "Neely also had numerous arrests on his rap sheet, the most recent in 2021, when he socked an older woman in the head, severely injuring her and landing himself in jail for more than a year, sources said. The 67-year-old woman fell when she was punched Nov. 12, 2021, and broke her nose, fractured her orbital bone and endured 'bruising, swelling and substantial pain to the back of her head,' according to charging documents."]

Her resignation is effective June 1.

Ireland Set to Pass Far-Reaching Hate Speech Laws | 2 May 2023 | Barring amendment or rejection, a pernicious new bill restricting free speech is set to become enshrined in Irish law. Under it, mere possession of material deemed "hateful" by the state could result in prison time for those accused, if the state suspects the material is intended for dissemination. Last week, the legislation, designed to shield those with "protected characteristics" from "hate," passed through the Dáil Éireann, Ireland’s lower house. Currently, it is being debated by its upper house, the Seanad Éireann. Only 14 of the Dáil’s 160 members voted "no" to the bill before it headed to the Seanad. Public awareness about the bill, known as the "Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022" has been minimal. It's been largely ignored by the Irish media.

Ireland's New Thoughtcrime Bill Is Shockingly Draconian --You could soon be sent to jail just for 'possessing' offensive material. By Fraser Myers | 3 May 2023 | If the Irish government gets its way, people could soon be arrested and jailed for "hate speech" - even if they never say or write a single "hateful" word. The new Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill, which is currently passing through the Irish parliament, contains some shockingly authoritarian provisions. The bill will outlaw the "communication" of material or speech that might "incite hatred" against people with certain protected characteristics (such as race, religion and gender). In practice, if other European hate-speech laws are any guide, "inciting hatred" tends to mean little more than causing offence. This can be punishable by up to five years in prison. As if all that weren't draconian enough, it even makes it a crime, punishable by two years' jail time, to simply "prepare or possess" material likely to "incite hatred." "Possession" could mean nothing more than having an offensive video stored on your computer, or a dodgy meme saved on your phone.

Russia warns of 'retaliation' for Ukrainian attack on Kremlin --Authorities have accused Kiev of targeting Putin's residence with drones | 3 May 2023 | Russia reserves the right to retaliate "anywhere and anytime it deems necessary" in response to the drone attack on President Vladimir Putin's residence, the Kremlin has said.

The attack occurred late on Tuesday night, and both unmanned aircraft fell on the grounds of the Kremlin in Moscow, according to the president's office, who also confirmed that the Russian leader's schedule was not affected. "We consider this a preplanned terrorist action and an attempt against the Russian president," it added. The incident happened "ahead of Victory Day and the parade on May 9, when foreign guests plan to be present." Russia reserves the right to retaliate in a manner, place and time of its choosing, the statement noted.

Comer issued a subpoena Wednesday following legally protected disclosures to Grassley's office.

JPMorgan Chase Repeatedly 'De-Banked' Conservative and Religious Groups, Republican State Officials Say | 3 May 2023 | Nineteen Republican state attorneys general asserted on Tuesday that JPMorgan Chase "de-banked" organizations for their conservative and religious tendencies, calling on the nation's largest financial institution to respect the viewpoints of their customers. The officials stated in a letter to the firm provided to The Daily Wire that the National Committee for Religious Freedom, a "nonpartisan, faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the right of everyone in America to live one's faith freely," had its Chase account nixed three weeks into starting a relationship with the company and was asked to provide a list of their donors to the firm. A credit card processor owned by Chase likewise terminated the account for Family Council, a conservative organization working to strengthen traditional family values, while a firm called WePay, which is also owned by Chase, refused to serve Defense of Liberty, a Missouri-based political action committee.

EU Backs Dutch Scheme to Forcibly Shut Down Thousands of Farms, Ban Farmers From Returning to Agriculture Forever | 3 May 2023 | The European Commission in Brussels has backed a scheme by the globalist government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Netherlands that would see thousands of farms shut down in order to comply with EU climate goals. On Tuesday, the governing arm of the European Union officially threw its support behind plans by the Dutch government to buy out thousands of farmers from their lands in order to meet the EU's Natura 2000 scheme to protect certain environments. The plan, which would offer farmers 120 per cent of the value of their farm, could see some 3,000 so-called "peak" emitters of nitrogen shut down... Brussels said that the plans were "necessary and appropriate" as they met the broader goals of the European Green Deal. "The positive [sic] effects transcend any distortions of the free market," the statement added.

New York legislature okays ban on gas stoves, fossil fuel use in new buildings | 3 May 2023 | The New York legislature has approved a budget package that includes a ban on natural gas hookups and fossil fuel use in new homes as the state works to transition toward renewable energy. The provision would effectively eliminate the use of common household appliances such as gas stoves in new construction. The ban will take effect in 2026 for buildings under seven stories and in 2029 for those with additional floors, the Washington Post reported. Its implementation will mark the first statewide ban in the nation. It does provide exceptions for restaurants, manufacturing facilities, healthcare structures, and some other businesses, though it likely will face legal challenges from the state's fossil fuel industry. Gas currently is responsible for 46% of the Empire State's electricity generation, the Post noted. The ban further bars the use of heating oil and propane.

Liberal SCOTUS Justice Took $3M From Book Publisher, Didn't Recuse From Its Cases --Random House was her main source of earned income, but she voted on key decision where publisher stood to lose money, even as similarly-positioned colleague recused. | 3 May 2023 | Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to recuse herself from multiple copyright infringement cases involving book publisher Penguin Random House despite having been paid millions by the firm for her books, making it by far her largest source of income, records show. In 2010, she got a $1.2 million book advance from Knopf Doubleday Group, a part of the conglomerate. In 2012, she reported receiving two advance payments from the publisher totaling $1.9 million. In 2013, Sotomayor voted in a decision for whether the court should hear a case against the publisher called Aaron Greenspan v. Random House, despite then-fellow Justice Stephen Breyer recusing after also receiving money from the publisher. Greenspan was a Harvard classmate of Mark Zuckerberg's who wrote a book about the founding of Facebook and contended that Random House rejected his book proposal and then awarded a deal to another author who copied his book and eventually turned it into the movie The Social Network.

Gates-Funded 'Edible' Food Coating Gets Green Light From Regulators | 3 May 2023 | Apeel Sciences is a U.S.-based company that's partnered with the Gates Foundation to develop a new product, Edipeel, an edible coating for fruit and vegetables to solve the supposed food wastage "crisis." U.K. supermarket chains Tesco and Asda are already trialing the product, along with avocado producers to extend the shelf life of their fresh produce. The majority of concerns thus far center around the safety of the product. Perhaps more concerning is the potential lack of choice for consumers that might not want to consume produce coated in Edipeel, as supermarket chains and others get sucked into the hype. Particularly, as the coating has also been approved for use on organic produce in the U.S. further reducing consumer options and it can't be removed even by scrubbing the produce. It's not known whether any elements of the coating can be absorbed by the vegetables or fruit that have been coated.

Insane in the membrane: U.S. Sending About $300 Million in Military Aid to Ukraine | 2 May 2023 | The [sociopaths managing the illegitimate p-residency in the] U.S. is sending Ukraine about $300 million in additional military aid, including an enormous amount of artillery rounds, howitzers, air-to-ground rockets and ammunition as the launch of a spring offensive against Russian forces approaches, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

The weapons will all be pulled from Pentagon stocks, so they can go quickly to the front lines.

FBI has document alleging pay-to-play scheme involving Joe Biden, lawmakers allege --James Comer subpoenas memo, says he was alerted to it by whistleblower. | 3 May 2023 | House and Senate GOP investigators said Wednesday they have learned the FBI possesses a document alleging a pay-to-play bribery scheme involving Joe Biden and have subpoenaed it in an explosive new twist in their long running corruption probe of the first family. Senate Budget Committee ranking member and long-time whistleblower advocate Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said they learned of the document, known as FD-1023, from a whistleblower. "We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States," Grassley said. "What we don't know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight." Said Comer: "The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. The American people need to know if President [sic] Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself. Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people."

Emails obtained by Fox News Digital shows Hunter Biden organizing the meet-up around the time he was trying to secure a deal with the business associates who attended the White House meeting. If Hunter were able to secure the meeting between the associates and his father - the vice president - it could lead to a bonds deal worth billions.
