The Liberal Media Is Finally Noticing Democrats Are Willing To Shred The Rule Of Law
Democrats have anointed themselves the defenders of democracy and protectors of the rule of law. For years, the liberal media has been more than willing to help push that narrative. But after the state Supreme Court struck down the Virginia gerrymander, the reaction from Democrats was so extreme that even their usual defenders couldn't ignore how bad it looked.
On Sunday, the New York Times reported that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Virginia Democrats held a conference call the day after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the party had violated the state constitution by passing its gerrymandered map, nullifying the new map before it could be implemented. According to the report, lawmakers spent the call “venting anger at their defeat,” with the atmosphere described as “desperation and fury,” and Democrats floated the idea of lowering the mandatory retirement age of the court so they co...

Russia Think Tank Tells Chinese Media That U.S. Endgame In Iran Is To "Achieve Market Monopoly" In Logistics, Energy
Russian military blogger Mikhail Zvinchuk, the operator behind the Rybar Telegram channel, recently surfaced in an interview with the Chinese outlet Guancha, offering a non-Western assessment of the ten-week U.S.-Iran war.
The interview is notable given that Washington has targeted the private Russian think tank, with the State Department's Rewards for Justice program offering up to $10 million for information related to Rybar-linked foreign election interference operations.
The main topic of the hour-long conversation between Zvinchuk and the host representing Guancha was the Iranian conflict.
"The main goal of Trump is to shake up the market. Because if you monitor all logistics companies, oil companies, and LNG companies, you will find that big players have started to consume mid-tier and small players."
He continued, "For example, Maersk, one of th...

I don′t want to sound like a tub-thumping zealot … but it′s time to ban ads for gambling | Emma Beddington (The Guardian)

I've had it up to here with Danny Dyer's commercials for Paddy Power. The UK needs to take a tip from Amsterdam and rein in its advertisersAmsterdam's new ban on public advertisements for meat and fossil fuel products makes me wonder whether we should be more ban-happy with ads in the UK. There are plenty I want rid of: “See it, say it, sorted”, obviously, which refuses to die, and those LNER ads featuring a hideously perky puppet treating train travel like an excuse for a party (pipe down, Eleanor). Also up against the wall when I'm in charge: overly matey ads for banks (don't you dare call me “bestie” when you're selling me an Isa); any catchy jingle that displaces the scraps of useful information still clinging on in my brain; and the whole wellness grift of snake oil powders and goo.But if I could ban only one type of advertising, I'd go after gambling. It's hard not to sound like a Victorian tub-thumping religious zealot when you rant about gambling ads, but my God, they're grotesque...

Media Spreads Hantavirus Hysteria In Attempt To Save Disgraced WHO
The establishment media has been drumming up fear after a recent outbreak of Hantavirus on a cruise liner traveling from Argentina to West Africa. The Guardian has used the opportunity to assert that the US is currently ill equipped to deal with future pandemic threats, largely because of Donald Trump (of course) and the dramatic US exit from the now disgraced World Health Organization.
Is Hantavirus a serious danger to the world, or, is it another hyped up virus like Covid being used to trigger public hysteria? And if it is being hyped, who (or WHO) stands to benefit?
For decades the WHO constructed its image as a global angel of benevolence; the primary line of defense against what they said was the inevitable invasion of a population rending plague. However, when the time finally came in the form of a mutated Coronavirus (Covid), they dropped the ball, and evidence suggests they may have done it deliberately.
