Excerpt:

Why it matters: Google is warning that a 2020 ruling by the High Court of Australia could have a “devastating” impact on the entire internet, forcing the company to “censor” search results if a defamation charge is allowed to stand.

The Guardian reports that the case revolves around George Defteros, a Victoria defense lawyer who previously represented Melbourne gangland figures. He sued Google over claims that its publication of search results showing a 2004 article defamed him.

The article from The Age implied that Defteros had become more than just a lawyer for criminal elements but was also a friend and confidant, crossing professional boundaries. The piece also reported on the murder charges Defteros faced in relation to the killing of three men. Prosecutors withdrew the charges in 2005.

Defteros’ lawyers contacted Google in February 2016 and asked it to remove the article, but Google refused as it said The Age was a…

Excerpt:

Anti-drug police in Kyrgyzstan have raided the office of TemirovLive, an independent news outlet that focuses on exposing high-level corruption, telling reporters that an unknown woman had accused Bolot Temirov, the award-winning investigative journalist who leads the outlet, of forcing her to take drugs.

However, a colleague of Temirov’s said that officers planted a package of drugs on him during the raid on Saturday evening.

“They told us all to lie on the floor and not to look up, and to put our hands behind our backs,” said Aizhan Alymseitova. “They searched everyone, and told everyone to take everything out of their pockets. When they came to Bolot Temirov, they checked his back pocket and pulled out a small plastic packet.”

“They put it there themselves, and then pulled it out,” she said.

Team Biden Says Only DNC Win Will Prove 2022 Elections Legit

Ivo Fysic January 26, 2022

It looks like Biden and the DNC are everything they said Trump was, and more. Joe Biden and the DNC are letting the world to know that the only legitimate election will be a DNC win in 2022. If the GOP wins, that is the evidence the election is not legitimate.

Leftist media and the White House are in full damage control mode after Joe Biden said the same kinds of things Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and others have said about past elections, but this time about an election that hasn’t even occurred yet.

During his second press conference in more than a year in office, Biden slipped in several comments about the trustworthiness of American elections similar to those that got Trump and myriad others banned and sanctioned by every major social media platform and pummelled by Republican Party leadership after the 2020 election. Here are a few of the many things Biden said about elections during that Jan 19. press conference (emphasis added):

I’m confident that we can take the case to the American people that the people they should be voting for — who are going to oversee whether your elections, in fact, are legit or not — should not be those who are being put up by the Republicans to det- — to determine that…

CRT Faces Parents Rights Movement

Ivo Fysic January 26, 2022

The Republicans have latched on to what might be an effective bludgeon against the coercive elements, the unconstitutional elements of critical race theory being coercively taught as fact to children in public schools. That bludgeon is to advance parental rights in a constitutional republic, through law, lawsuits, and executive orders.

Republicans are growing increasingly confident they’ll retake the House in 2022—and they’re positioning themselves to make parents’ rights in education a national priority.

Rep. Julia Letlow’s (R., La.) Parents’ Bill of Rights was the focus of a Tuesday roundtable discussion among Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee. The bill, which would pressure schools to be more transparent about curricula and spending, has garnered support in their party. A House GOP aide told the Washington Free Beacon that “most members” of the Republican Study Committee “seemed very supportive of the bill.” With 107 cosponsors and support from the largest Republican caucus, the bill could become an integral part of House Republicans’…

VA Teachers Bully Maskless Kids in Bid to Reject State Authority

Ivo Fysic January 26, 2022

Virginia Teachers are defying their own state government by declaring they will continue to enforce mask mandates on students, and to make sure the point is clear to the kids, they’ve taken to bully the students that refuse to wear the mask after the Governor of Virginia ended the mask mandates for schools.

Excerpt:

Even after newly-elected Governor Glenn Youngkin walked into his office on the first day and tossed out all public school mask mandates, it seems there is a good portion of teachers who would rather keep the students muzzled indefinitely. A report in the Washington Free Beacon details that several teachers in various Virginia public school districts have taken to social media, vowing to ostracize and bully students into wearing masks.

The hysteria amongst teachers might be hitting its peak which is strange seeing as how they’ve all, presumably, been vaccinated, and omicron is far less deadly than any variant before it. But while these facts do nothing to calm their ignorant conniption fits, Arlington Public Schools and Alexandria County Public Schools point to “CDC data” to say masking works to help stop the spread.

Several teachers have posted on their personal or work Facebook pages, voicing opposition to allowing students to go maskless, even going so far as to say they will…

Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, showed a commanding lead against the Democrat-allied Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in a Saturday straw poll full of House candidates held by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee.

A secret ballot straw poll of Republican party activists gave Hageman 59 votes, a 53 vote lead against Cheney, according to the Casper Star-Tribune. Cheney garnered only six votes, along with state Sen. Anthony Bouchard (R-Cheyenne), who received two votes, and Denton Knapp, who received one vote.

After the secret ballot, which came eight months before the state’s Republican primary, Hageman told the Star-Tribune, “I think it’s a good sign. It’s not an endorsement, but these are the county activists.”

China Population About to Shrink

Mark Clouse January 26, 2022

It looks like the Chinese state’s efforts to counter the decades-long one-child policy has not paid off, as China looks to start losing its population within the next few years.

Data Shows That China’s Population Is About to Start Actively Shrinking

That’s actually not a good thing.

Big Shrink

China’s population may soon level off and then actively shrink as families have fewer babies and older residents age out of having children, according to new data published this week.

Annual figures show 10.62 million babies were born last year, down a staggering 11.5 percent from 12 million in 2020, the South China Morning Post reports — a troubling development that could end up hurting the country’s economy significantly in the long run and even slow its seemingly inexorable march toward global dominance.

Bad News

Many experts agree the change won’t happen overnight.

“In the next 10 to 20 years, China’s natural population growth will not continue falling, it will fluctuate around zero and could see small drops, but there will not be rapid decreases,” Chen Wei, a professor with the Population Development Studies Centre at Renmin University, told SCMP.

While experts may disagree on exactly how much the country’s population of 1.4 billion people will shrink — with some even arguing that its population could drop by half within 30 years — it’s pretty clear there are a few main causes behind the trend. For one, China didn’t ease enforcement of its one-child policy until 2013, and only raised the limit to two children per household in 2016.

It was too little too late, though, because younger families are now having a hard time making ends meet, and older families have aged out of their childbearing years.

The shrink presents a problem for China’s government and economy. According to the The New York Times, a declining population could create a burden on China’s labor force and younger workers. Because older workers may not be able to hold jobs, the government may struggle to pay for an older population that is living longer.

It might be tempting to think that slow declines in the growth of a population is a good thing given humanity’s massive carbon footprint. But there’s a real human cost to…

LOS ANGELES, California — Gov. Gavin Newsom apologized Friday for using the term “gangs” to describe groups of people who have been attacking and robbing cargo trains near downtown Los Angeles, as he toured the wreckage.

As Breitbart News reported, Newsom arrived at the site and helped a cleanup crew, just days after viral video showed thieves targeting the trains, and debris scattered in every direction, showing torn cardboard boxes that will never reach their destinations.

Newsom professed shock at the devastation, saying it made California look like a “Third World country.”

Khartoum (AFP) – Thousands of Sudanese protesters rallied Monday calling for civilian rule and demanding justice for those killed in crackdowns since a military coup nearly three months ago, an AFP correspondent said.

Crowds in the capital Khartoum chanting slogans against the army headed toward the presidential palace, an area which security forces had sealed off ahead of the march.

Protests were also held in cities including Wad Madani, south of the capital, and the eastern state of Gedaref, according to witnesses.

“No, no to military rule,” and “civilian (rule) is the people’s choice” protesters shouted in Wad Madani, according to witness Emad Mohamed.

Sudan has been rocked by regular protests since the October 25 military power grab led by general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

The coup derailed a civilian-military power-sharing deal painstakingly negotiated after the 2019…
