sometimes even a 'soros' da has to back down and admit they have no case;

About a month ago, a Chicago resident used his concealed carry piece to repel a feral swarm of attackers.  We wrote about it as one of several defensive gun uses that happened in America’s Murder City in just one weekend.  Now that the dust has settled, we can share the rest of the story.

Here’s how CBS Chicago reported it:

CHICAGO (CBS) — A concealed carry license holder was attacked Friday night in Chicago and responded by shooting three men from his Northwest Side front yard. 

All four were hospitalized in critical condition after an argument led to the shooting.

The incident happened just before 11:30 in the 4700 block of West Wrightwood Avenue in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

Chicago police said the victim, a 43-year-old man, was in front of his home when an argument ensued with three men who began attacking him. The victim, a concealed carry license holder, pulled out a handgun and shot all three men. 

Here’s what really happened.

The CCW holder victim in this incident had asked his neighbors and their friends to turn down the music a notch or three at 11:30 pm on a Friday night. His 11-year-old daughter was trying to sleep for an event she had the next day. Instead of playing nice and doing the decent and honorable thing of dialing back the noise, the brazen neighbors and fellow party-goers attacked the CCW holder in his own front yard.

The neighbor, we’ll call him Raoul, had the foresight to put on his concealed carry piece before going outside to ask the neighbors to act a little more neighborly. When they savagely attacked him, he tried to retreat but there were too many. They beat him with fists, kicks and eventually even a metal rod of some sort, taking him to the ground to continue their frenzied attack............more........

 the world is different daily due to rapid changes such as this one with the houthis;

Is this Iran’s revenge?

Is this how Iran pays-back Israel for bombing its consulate in Damascus in late March; by providing the Houthis with hypersonic missiles to fight the “Great Satan”?

On June 26, Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched an attack on a commercial ship in the Arabian Sea using a long-range, solid-fuel hypersonic ballistic missile. It was the first time the group had used the state-of-the-art missile in its military operations. The significance of the development cannot be overstated. Hypersonic missiles—which feature technological advances that are still unavailable in the West—are more accurate, harder to shoot down, and travel longer distances than earlier models. These unique, cutting-edge weapons are a force-multiplier that give the Houthis a decided advantage in future attacks in the Red Sea and beyond. They will allow the Houthis to tighten their grip on commercial traffic while putting US warships at greater risk. They will also significantly improve the Houthis chances of prevailing in their war with the United States and its coalition partners. This is from an article at the Maritime Executive:

The Houthis…. are asserting that they have launched for the first time a hypersonic missile which was used to target an MSC containership far out in the Gulf of Aden….

For the first time, the identity of the missile that targeted the… MSC Sarah V in the Arabian Sea,” was being revealed according to a posting by the Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree. “It is a locally made hypersonic missile that possesses advanced technology, is accurate in hitting, and reaches long ranges.”…

Media reports in March said the Houthis had begun manufacturing their hypersonic missile… capable of reaching Mach 8. The reports said it would be used to threaten shipping further into the Indian Ocean. Video: Houthis Claim First Launch of Hypersonic Missile Targeting MSC Ship, Maritime Executive..........more........

 this seems curious but i'm unsure exactly what to think;

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.  The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.

U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”.   As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots.  The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it’s the person who gets the most ballots, not votes.

So, let us start by asking the right question:  What is a representative from South Carolina doing in Wisconsin visiting ten key ballot counting precincts in three key cities, Madison, Milwaukee and Beloit?   Anyone?  Anyone?   The story gets even more interesting when you see what text messages about “ballot ordering“ followed James Clyburn’s visit.  First, the citation for the visit [04:00 video]:...........more.......

 mr rickards believes that the 'green new deal' is collapsing;

It’s no secret that the vast majority of the so-called elites are advocates of climate alarmism and are taken in by the Green New Scam.

Whether this preference is based on ignorance of the science, ideological zeal, a willful desire to hurt American growth or simple greed because of their investments in Green New Scam infrastructure varies case by case.

The typical upper-income supporter of the climate cult including academics, media figures and celebrities is probably ignorant of the fact that there is no evidence that CO2 emissions cause climate change and that the real causes are solar cycles, volcanoes, ocean currents and atmospheric moisture not caused by humans.

Climate Alarmists Have It Backward

The historical record actually demonstrates that warming periods produce higher CO2 levels — not the other way around. CO2 doesn’t cause warming. It’s caused by natural warming.

In other words, climate alarmists have causation completely backward.

Climate alarmism is based almost entirely on computer models, which depend on the inputs the modelers themselves build into them. A model is only as good as the inputs and assumptions programmed into it.

Virtually every one of these models has overestimated warming, sometimes by orders of magnitude, because it’s based on faulty assumptions that overestimate the impact of CO2 on climate.

In other words, it’s junk science. But they keep relying on these models because their political agenda requires it.

Climate: The New Communism

There’s no doubt that a fair number of neo-Marxists embrace the climate scam because they know it damages U.S. industry, raises costs to U.S. consumers and helps to undermine the U.S. economy.

Following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism, anti-capitalistic collectivists admitted that they needed to promote the climate agenda because the only way to combat global warming is through collective action. It requires a coordinated global effort that limits national sovereignty............more........

 its beginning to look a lot like armageddon;

A Friday statement from Iran's ambassador warned the UN that any “full-scale military aggression” in Lebanon against Hezbollah will mean that “an obliterating war will ensue….”

“All options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table…."

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged this week that a "seven front war" could open up, in reference to all of Iran's proxies across the region. 

So said an article posted below from Zero Hedge over the past weekend. This could, of course, have been nothing more than Hezbollah’s typical saber rattling, rather than a true warning. However, Charles Nenner, a former Goldman Sachs technical analyst who now runs Charles Nenner Research Center, lives on Israel’s northern border, and says he believes all hell is about to break loose. He is certain we are about to see “full-scale military aggression” by Israel, though he might not use Iran’s terms in calling it “aggression.” He believes that, if Israel decides it has to do what it is now preparing to do, it is finally going all the way to end its northern problem:

If this really goes, Lebanon is going to disappear from the map. . . . How do I know these things? I know these things because I work with several governments in the world. . . . In the 1960’s, there was a war, and half of Cyprus ended up Turkish and half of Cyprus is Greek. Turkey never accepted that. . . . Israel is using airfields in Cyprus. . . . If this really gets going, Turkey is going to take over Cyprus because they support Hamas (and Hezbollah). Turkey will invade Cyprus, and this will lead to a war between Greece and Turkey.  Of course, Iran is going to be involved also. Big boats are heading to Israel, so America is going to be involved….

I don’t think Americans have any clue what is going on there, and they have no background. They are only busy with trying to win the election, and it’s going to lead to catastrophe. If there is a war, Turkey is going to be involved, Cyprus is going to be involved, NATO is going to be involved, and it is going to be much more serious than people think.

This is just one man’s opinion, of course. Though he does have close familiarity with the situation, that doesn’t mean he knows better than other people how other nations will respond to Israel if it makes the full-frontal assault it has warned several times now it is preparing for. However, Nenner has some strong agreement from The Economist,which also said today that the next terrifying war is Israel v Hezbollah...........more.....

 'our' government is trying more control activities which if enacted, further control our lives, via information access;

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Ct.) introduced bipartisan legislation called the "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA) that, contrary to its name, would do nothing to protect children from the horrors on the internet.

KOSA is simply a Trojan horse bill from both sides of the aisle in Congress that aims to use the excuse of "child safety" to "impose sweeping new obligations on an array of digital platforms," to quote The Washington Post. Such obligations include requiring that tech platforms "exercise[e] reasonable care" to prevent children from "bullying, harassment, and other harms."

The New York Times reported that this "duty of care" imposed on "social media platforms and video games" will protect minors from "depression, eating disorders, violence, sexual exploitation and predatory marketing."

(Related: The United Kingdom just passed a similar "Online Safety Act" that goes after freedom of speech online.)

"Bullying" is subjective

Over the past 10 or so years, the concept of "bullying" has really taken the limelight as a worthy censorship cause. The calculated reason for this is that "bullying" is a subjective concept much like a "hate crime" that allows tyranny to slip in undetected.

The more they can recategorize certain forms of free speech as "hate speech" or "bullying," the easier they can trample on the First Amendment, which is exactly what this is all about...........more...........

pcr calls this, the presidential dilemma; 

The Presidential Dilemma

Paul Craig Roberts

The dilemma is not limited to Trump and Biden. All of us face it.

Biden cannot win despite all of the theft mechanisms the Democrats have institutionalized. A stolen election requires a close election in order to hide the theft. But the polls show no such close election.

In order to use the fraudulent electoral means put in place, the Democrats need a candidate that the media can present as neck-in-neck with Trump. Even if Democrats had such a candidate, the Biden Crime Family cannot risk Trump taking office. In the event that Trump has learned not to appoint his most dangerous enemies to the highest offices, Biden out of power faces the risk of a real investigation of his and his son’s suspect business affairs, which appear to boil down to influence peddling.

So far the Biden family has reacted negatively to the pressure on Biden from fellow Democrats to stand down. But there is room for a deal if the Democrats can find a candidate for whom they can succeed in having a stolen election accepted. The deal would be that in exchange for standing down, the replacement candidate when “elected” will have the Justice (sic) Department investigate Joe and Hunter’s business dealings and clear them from all suspicions. One wonders why the corrupt merrick garland hasn’t already done this...........more.........
