Hardly Anyone Is Buying Biden’s Bivalent Boosters

Marketing 101: Don’t puff up your product. When it doesn’t live up to the hype, the public won’t trust what you’re selling the next time around. That’s the problem the Biden administration faces as it tries to peddle “bivalent” booster shots for Covid-19.

Vaccines have served a useful purpose by reducing severe illness among the vulnerable and seniors. But many Americans who rolled up their sleeves for the original two-doses and even third ones were led to believe the vaccines would prevent them from getting sick. Many nevertheless fell ill. Some were knocked out for days with flulike symptoms—exactly what they were trying to avoid by getting vaccinated and boosted. Can you blame them for not buying the administration’s pitch that the new and supposedly improved bivalent boosters will “protect” them and their families?

U.S. Arms Sent to Ukraine Make Their Way to Boko Haram

When the U.S. sends nearly unlimited arms willy-nilly to Ukraine with little or no oversight, no one should be surprised when some of that weaponry enters the black market and makes its way to various bad guys and scumbags around the world.

U.S. Altered Himars Rocket Launchers to Keep Ukraine From Firing Missiles Into Russia

WASHINGTON—The U.S. secretly modified the advanced Himars rocket launchers it gave Ukraine so they can’t be used to fire long-range missiles into Russia, U.S. officials said, a precaution the Biden administration says is necessary to reduce the risk of a wider war with Moscow.

The U.S. since June has supplied Ukrainian forces with 20 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launchers, or Himars, and a large inventory of satellite-guided rockets with a range of almost 50 miles. Those rockets, known as the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, or GMLRS, have been used to strike Russian ammunition depots, logistics supplies and command centers on Ukrainian territory.

US Funds Arabs Who Want to Destroy Israel

Some Israeli journalists who travelled to Qatar to report on the soccer World Cup were harassed and verbally abused by Arabs from several countries. The journalists were told that Israel has no right to exist and that most Arabs are opposed to any form of normalization with Israelis.

The hostile reception that the Israeli Jewish journalists received in Qatar — a wealthy emirate that has for many years embraced radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood organization — did not surprise those who are familiar with the ongoing massive incitement against Israel in some of the Arab countries.

Iran ramping up murder, kidnapping attempts in the US, Canada, and Europe – report

“These hostile [Iranian] activities and foreign interference undermine the security of Canada and Canadians, as well as our democratic values and sovereignty,” said a spokesperson from Canada’s intelligence agency.

Iran is ramping up its crackdowns on dissidents, including political activists and journalists, living abroad, and recruiting third-party criminals for assassination attempts against Iranian and Israeli nationals in Europe and North America, according to a Washington Post report.

The Post report comes on the heels of a recent warning to Iranians in the UK from the country’s MI5 intelligence agency. MI5 told dissidents that Iranian agents and paid criminals acting on their behalf were attempting to kidnap and kill critics of the regime living in London and other British localities.

Trump or Biden? Poll Suggests Americans Want Neither

As of current, former President Trump and President Joe Biden are the nations contenders for the 2024 presidential race.

However, with many Americans not on the Trump train this time around, and with the amount of destruction Biden has caused, the pickings are slim.

But nonetheless, between the two, Americans would still rather Trump in office than Biden.

I love Trump but it may be his time has passed. I am not sure DeSantis can win either however.

Widespread Power Outage in North Carolina Investigated as a ‘Criminal Occurrence’

Authorities in North Carolina said Saturday that a power outage affecting tens of thousands of people is being investigated as a “criminal occurrence.”

Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement Sunday morning about outages and said that an investigation is underway.

He wrote that “I have spoken with Duke Energy and state law enforcement officials about the power outages in Moore County. They are investigating and working to return electricity to those impacted. The state is providing support as needed.”

The FBI Sets Its Sights on Israel

It’s taking a page out of Joe Biden’s book, placating progressives at the expense of diplomacy.

On May 11, Al Jazeera Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a dual Palestinian-American citizen, was killed in Israel while standing alongside terrorists during a gunfight between Israeli forces and Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fighters in Jenin. In July, at the behest of the Biden administration, a U.S. State Department-led investigation determined that the bullet which hit Abu Akleh was badly damaged, thus preventing a “clear conclusion.” The findings further affirmed that the gunfire likely originated from “IDF positions.” The statement, issued by State Department spokesman Ned Price, found no reason to believe that Abu Akleh’s killing was intentional but rather the “result of tragic circumstances.” An examination and forensic analysis of the bullet conducted by Israel’s Defense Forces similarly revealed a “high probability” that Abu Akleh was killed by accidental Israeli gunfire.

US Air Force unveils new B-21 Raider nuclear stealth bomber

The US Air Force has unveiled its newest nuclear stealth bomber, the B-21, which will gradually replace aircraft first flown in the Cold War.

The first new bomber in 30 years could cost nearly $700m (£569m) each and can carry nuclear and conventional weapons.

As expected, specific details of the aircraft remain shrouded in secrecy.

But US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said it was “a testament to America’s enduring advantages in ingenuity and innovation”.

Biden’s Oil Deal With Venezuela Is Worse Than You Think

A week ago the Biden administration announced that it had approved an expansion of the license to Chevron so they could resume oil production in Venezuela.

This was a surprise given the administration’s hostility to fossil fuels in general and oil from Venezuela in particular.

The sad truth is that you can’t throw this in Justin’s face as the latest addition to his long list of failures because he considers it a victory whenever an ally gives up on Canada as a source of secure energy and instead opts to take their business elsewhere even if that means making a deal with a totalitarian regime.

A new Right-wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu may cause problems

Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to office should come with few surprises to those in Washington. The Prime Minister is a known quantity, and he has maintained close political ties with President Biden since the time had served as a Senator and later as a Vice-President.

Preacher Accused of Being ISIS Marriage Broker Faces Trial in New York

In late 2016, Abdullah el-Faisal, a Jamaican preacher who was an outspoken supporter of the Islamic State, began communicating on WhatsApp with a woman in New York who claimed to be an aspiring jihadist with medical training.

He offered to help her join the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, prosecutors in Manhattan said, and made an introduction to a member of the group, which is known for carrying out brutal executions, including drownings and beheadings in the Middle East. Mr. Faisal described the man as someone who not only would help her travel to join extremist fighters — but who would be a suitable husband.

The United States Must Go to War Against China’s Spies

In late October, U.S. prosecutors charged thirteen Chinese agents for conducting illegal operations in the United States. Unfortunately, only two of the suspects are in custody. The other eleven remain free to continue their espionage and intimidation operations against American victims from the same place they usually operate—China.

These cases illustrate how far behind U.S. law enforcement is in its fight to defend America from assaults by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). While indictments against Chinese agents are becoming more common, the perpetrators are rarely brought to justice.

“Rightwing Zionists” Tainted “Our” Elections, Islamist Group’s Antisemitic Report Says

You are not going to believe this. During the mid-term elections, advocacy groups gave money – a lot of money – supporting candidates they thought would be good on the issues they care about.

It’s shocking, right?

The anti-Israel group Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) seems to think so. It touted a “groundbreaking report” last week that showed pro-Israel groups gave money to pro-Israel candidates.

How the American anti-LGBTQ hate machine is posing a threat to Canadians

Seth Compton woke early one morning in July to his phone buzzing furiously with new messages. A wave of hate, stirred up far away, was starting to crash down on the LGBTQ youth centre he runs in North Bay, Ont.

A flyer for an upcoming drag show at the centre had been posted by Libs of Tik Tok, a homophobic and transphobic Twitter account that has around 1.5 million followers and is reportedly run by a New York real estate agent.

For more than a week afterward, OutLoud North Bay — one of the few dedicated spaces for LGBTQ youth in northern Ontario — received thousands of death threats and other hateful comments spawned from that initial post on Twitter, Compton said.

Libs of TikTok merely re-posts what the multilettered madhouse posts itself.
