The European Union may move in a matter of weeks to punish countries that don’t uphold the bloc’s democratic standards by withholding emergency pandemic aid as well as payments from the EU’s trillion-euro budget. Poland, which has clashed with the EU on multiple rule-of-law fronts, stands to miss out on more than 130 billion euros ($149 billion) from the bloc’s seven-year budget.

Sirens immediately sounded at the military compound, and the sound of gunfire could be heard from the site, it said.

The drone attack also sent dense plumes of smoke rising above the targeted area.

Excerpt:

The suspect who held a rabbi and his congregants hostage at a Texas synagogue was identified Sunday as a British citizen, as witnesses recalled watching the terrifying situation play out on a Facebook livestream.

Hostage-taker Malik Faisal Akram, 44, was shot dead after the last of the four hostages was released from the 10-hour standoff at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville on Saturday night, the FBI said.

“The FBI’s Evidence Response Team (ERT) will continue processing evidence at the synagogue,” the agency said. “At this time, there is no indication that other individuals are involved.”

A UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday, “We are aware of the death of a British man in Texas and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Akram took four people captive, including Congregation Beth Israel Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, during a Shabbat morning service around 11 a.m….

Major Blast in Tonga Create Tsunami and Heavy Ash Fall

Excerpt:

The first major volcanic eruption struck today in the island nation of Tonga. Over the past few weeks, the small volcanic island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai had been experiencing minor but impressive explosions. However, on January 14-15, the eruption became much more violent, sending ash over 60,000 feet (18 kilometers) into the skies. The blast also generated a tsunami that hit many of the islands in Tonga, destroying homes and buildings across the country.

UPDATE January 15, 7 pm ET: News continues to trickle in about this eruption. Current estimates for the ash column put it closer to 100,000 feet (~30 kilometers), which means it punched into the stratosphere. It released a siginificant amount of sulfur dioxide as well. The tsunami that raced across the Pacific Ocean created waves over 3 feet (1 meter) tall in places like Santa Cruz, California and the Oregon coast. There might even have been a “meteo-tsunami” in the Caribbean generated by the pressure wave in the atmosphere. We detected the pressure wave here in Ohio at ~9:45 am ET, with our seismometer also seeing a low frequency (<20 Hz) signal, which could be the shockwave passing the midwest.

9/10 2021 CNN Viewers Aren’t Coming Back for 2022

Ivo Fysic January 13, 2022

CNN milked 2021 for all she was worth, shilling doom and gloom vax shock and Trump Trump Trump evil racism fascism, blah blah blah. After awhile, all that screaming and fake news started to take its toll, and even your most committed hate porn watcher couldn’t find enough plausible deniability in the stories CNN was telling. Couple that with major violations of journalistic ethics such as we see from Fredo Cuomo, and child sex charges against two top CNN producers, and the hate watchers just couldn’t take being part of the whole sordid affair.

To recap, just to make sure you understand, this is not fake news, CNN has lost 90 perecent of the viewership it had JUST LAST YEAR. Reason to celebrate, for sure, given the seditious and violent nature of the content that DNC organ of fake pukes out.

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage

From NY Post:

CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.

The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.

But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN’s right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

SCOTUS Stops OSHA Mandate, Stays Biden Mandate

Freedomist Editor January 13, 2022

SCOTUS Blocks Biden’s OSHA Vaccine Mandate

Excerpt:

Much to the chagrin of our resident despot Tony “I am the science” Fauci, the Supreme Court has struck down Biden’s vaccine mandate which would have used OSHA to force companies employing more than 100 people to force vaccinations on employees.

The mandate was met with strong opposition from private employers with some, like The Daily Wire, filing lawsuits almost immediately after it was announced.

The mandate was previously blocked by a lower court in response to another lawsuit filed on behalf of several states which argued the mandate was gross “unconstitutional overreach.” It would seem the SCOTUS has agreed.

In a 6-3 decision: “OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought.

Will Americans Buy Smart Guns? They’re Going to Get Their Chance

Mark Clouse January 13, 2022

Unsmart guns, so-called smart guns, or guns with significant impediments to being assured of reliably utilizing a firearm in self-defense, are set to hit the US market. The unSmart guns have things like digital fingerprint safety features that are intended to assure only the user can fire the weapon, the kind of safety feature you want to rely on when you face a life or death situation.

Exclusive: Smart guns finally arriving in U.S., seeking to shake up firearms market

Excerpt:

Jan 11 (Reuters) – Personalized smart guns, which can be fired only by verified users, may finally become available to U.S. consumers after two decades of questions about reliability and concerns they will usher in a new wave of government regulation.

Four-year-old LodeStar Works on Friday unveiled its 9mm smart handgun for shareholders and investors in Boise, Idaho. And a Kansas company, SmartGunz LLC, says law enforcement agents are beta testing its product, a similar but simpler model.

Both companies hope to have a product commercially available this year.

LodeStar co-founder Gareth Glaser said he was inspired after hearing one too many stories about children shot while playing with an unattended gun. Smart guns could stop such tragedies by using technology to authenticate a user’s identity and disable the gun should anyone else try to fire it.

They could also reduce suicides, render lost or stolen guns useless, and offer safety for police officers and jail guards who fear gun grabs.

But attempts to develop smart guns have stalled: Smith & Wesson (SWBI.O) got hit with a boycott, a German company’s product was hacked, and a New Jersey law aimed at promoting smart guns has raised the wrath of defenders of the Second Amendment.

The LodeStar gun, aimed at first-time buyers, would retail for $895.

The test-firing of the LodeStar gun before Reuters cameras has not been reported elsewhere. A range officer fired the weapon, a third-generation prototype, in its different settings without issue.

Glaser acknowledged there will be additional challenges to large-scale manufacturing, but expressed confidence that after years of trial and error the technology was advanced enough and the microelectronics inside the gun are well-protected.

“We finally feel like we’re at the point where … let’s go public,” Glaser said. “We’re there.”

Most early smart gun prototypes used either fingerprint unlocking or radio frequency…

Old Age Might Have a Vaccine Soon

Freedomist Editor January 13, 2022

We might just have a cure for aging, and, in current year, the cure is more than ironic. That cure is a vaccine. While we in 2022 find ourselves 2 plus years into Covid lockdown heck, under the gun of vaccine mandates or making a living, scientists are developing a vaccine that could cure, or at least significantly slow down, the disease that is aging.

Researchers studying the causes and process of developing age-related health issues developed a vaccine to eliminate cells in the human body that are believed to trigger arterial sclerosis and other diseases.

The team led by a professor from Juntendo University in Tokyo said the effects of the vaccine were confirmed through experiments using mice.

“Most disorders that elderly patients tend to develop can be targeted (by the vaccine),” said Toru Minamino, a professor of cardiovascular internal medicine at the university’s graduate school.

Fauci Knew the Whole Time

Ivo Fysic January 13, 2022

Scientists behind the scenes working under Dr. Anthony Fauci were speculating early on that the Coronavirus that now dominates our lives was more than likely human-created, and more than likely leaked from a Wuhan, China lab, the same lab Fauci and these same scientists have been working with and, in part funding.

Emails show scientists told Fauci the lab-leak theory was possible. He called it a conspiracy anyway.

New information from previously redacted emails confirms that scientists consulting with government officials believed that the COVID-19 lab-leak origins hypothesis was not only possible but perhaps even likely, before Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins worked to denounce the theory as a conspiracy.

In a letter to the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Committee on Oversight and Reform ranking member Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed the text of redacted emails from February 2020 in which prominent public health scientists discussed the origins of COVID-19 with Fauci and Collins. Some of the emails revealed previously unknown details of what was discussed in a secretive Feb. 1, 2020, conference call in which at least 11 scientists convened to examine the possible origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused a global pandemic and radically transformed the lives of almost everyone in…

Pelosi Insider Stock Deals Might End Soon

Paul Collier January 13, 2022

Nancy Pelosi and her husband have made tens of millions of dollars wheeling and dealing in the stock market, with considerable aid from Nancy’s insider knowledge of the legislation and regulations that might change the fortunes of some for good or for ill. Now, that sweet easy money train might be coming to an end if some bipartisan congressmembers have their way.

They are girded by a super majority of 76 percent of Americans being in favor of ending the practice of lawmakers using their lawmaking powers to make their families millions at the expense of the constiuents they allegedly serve.

New polling by the Convention of States Action indicates that at least 76 percent of voters in the U.S. believe that legislators and their family members should not be allowed to trade stocks during their tenure in Congress because they have an “unfair advantage.”

Only 5 percent of voters agreed with Pelosi, who recently rejected the belief that legislators and their spouses should be barred from trading.

“We are a free market economy that should be able to participate in that,” Pelosi said in a press conference in December.

Like many others in Congress, Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, a San Francisco real estate investment mogul, have poured tons of money into the stock…
