Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years. Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.

Climate change is causing the fires in L.A., says the media. But one of the government's top fire experts says, “I don't think these fires are the result of climate change." The media blame climate change to divert attention from the incompetence of the politicians they like.

President Lula says he supports free speech, but he doesn't. He is, at this moment, demanding a censorship regime as severe as the one that has been in place in Cuba since the early 1960s.

Brazil's Supreme Court just banned X and announced an $8,900/day penalty for those who use a VPN to evade it. Don't dismiss what's happening because it's Brazil. It isn't an outlier. It's the start of the totalitarian future George Orwell presciently predicted in "1984."

Key facts. 1. FBI took Hunter Biden's laptop in Dec 2019 & knew it didn't come from hacking. 2. FBI spent 2020 telling Twitter that a "hack-and-leak" involving Hunter would occur in Oct 2020. 3. FBI was spying on Giuliani when he gave laptop to NY Post .

9. And yet, within hours, Twitter and other social media companies censor the NY Post article, preventing it from spreading and, more importantly, undermining its credibility in the minds of many Americans. Why is that? What, exactly, happened?.

In Feb. 2020, after a @nypost oped said COVID-19 came from a lab leak, Facebook censored the story. Why? Because "independent fact-checkers" said it was "False information." Not only was it true information, one of the fact-checkers had worked at the lab.

A bomb nearly killed Vice President @KamalaHarris on January 6, 2021, said the FBI. But now the former FBI official who oversaw the investigation said it couldn't have. In fact, the "bomb" appears to have been a hoax created by and covered up by the FBI and the Secret Service.

California is the richest state with the highest taxes and yet it cut funding for firefighting, which led directly to L.A.'s catastrophic fires. Why? Because Newsom & Bass diverted billions from preventing and fighting catastrophic fires to migrants, homeless, and climate.

Biden was counting on Arab nations to produce more oil but a few hours ago French President Macron was overheard telling Biden that the United Arab Emirates is at max capacity & the Saudis can’t produce much more. It appears to be a direct appeal to Biden to produce more oil.

Justin Trudeau says he's deeply compassionate, but he's not. He smeared ordinary Canadians as Nazis. He froze the bank accounts of critics of his Covid policies. And he spread disinfo while demanding censorship. It's time to talk about the malignant narcissism of Justin Trudeau.

Brazil appears to be a democracy, but it's not. President @LulaOficial and Supreme Court Justice @Alexandre de Moraes are preparing to shut down X, a few weeks before the elections. Their acts are illegal and unconstitutional. It's time to call Brazil what it is: a dictatorship.

People like the idea of solar farms in the abstract, but hundreds of communities around the world are currently fighting them because they require 300-600x more land than other energy sources, produce 300x more toxic waste, and devastate critical wildlife habitats.

I thought this was a joke at first but it’s not: Kamala Harris’ campaign is segregating its volunteers by race. These are the people who spent decades smearing their opponents as racists. Why do people tolerate this degrading treatment?

Biden says domestic terrorism is rising, but it's not. Rather, the FBI is manipulating data to demonize millions of Americans, and the media is going along with it. They should all be ashamed of themselves for their persecution of FBI whistleblowers and law-abiding Americans.

The *only* serious concern we found expressed within Twitter over the implications for free speech and democracy of banning Trump came from a junior person in the organization. It was tucked away in a lower-level Slack channel known as “site-integrity-auto."

Many say it doesn't matter where COVID-19 came from, but it does. The cover-up of its origin typifies institutional rot. Our leaders have been lying and persecuting whistleblowers. Such rampant abuses of power threaten our democracy and civilization.
