TOP STORIES

AMERICA VERSUS PROGMERICA IN A LAND WITHOUT GOD – The University of Virginia’s Center for Politics released a poll that shows 47 percent of Trump supporters and 51 percent of Biden supporters view the other side as the biggest threat to America. More troubling is the second part of that poll which shows 41 percent of Biden supporters and 38 percent of Trump supporters believing violence is justified in stopping the other side. 31 percent of Trump supporters and 24 percent of Biden supporters question the “viability of democracy.”
The poll is skewed from the start in its selection of Biden supporters versus Trump supporters, as a sizeable proportion of American citizens will either vote for someone other than Biden or won’t vote at all as they are completely disenfranchised with the whole political institution. Still, the poll is useful in reading the barometer of the times, “America” is a divided house, even if this poll fails to get to the root of what that division is. GO DEEPER
AMERICA IS BEING PULLED INTO ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR – As news continues to filter out about the nature of assaults on U.S. airbases by Iranian drones, Netanyahu battles with his own military about when the Gaza ground invasion should begin. Meanwhile, America draws more troops into the region in anticipation of the potential for a wider war with American troops serving on the front lines of that broadening war.
Biden hints at supporting a ceasefire, but only after Hamas releases all of its hostages. The Russia-China axis is looking for an opportunity to inject itself into the conflict, with Russia and China both calling for an immediate ceasefire and China sending warships into the region to counter the American presence.

PROGMERICAN PRESIDENT DEFENDS STUDENTS’ RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH WHEN THEY SAY LEFTIST THINGS – The White House has come out to defend the rights of Americans to express dissent against the Israeli state and support for the Palestinians and/or Hamas. Some of these Americans even support the acts of terror committed by Hamas, justifying it with claims that Israel does the same.
Having such a reprehensible position as defending true terror is still an American right and one this writer supports, but seeing the White House defend the right to free speech while it supports corporate economic executions of Americans who dare dissent against their policies, such as abortion and the “normalization” (which is a dog whistle for “forced preference and acceptance”) of homosexuality, makes their latest appeal to free-speech rights ring hollow.

ONE UAW STRIKE CANCELLED, ANOTHER EXPANDS – As the United Auto Workers expands its strike to the largest U.S. plant by Stellantis, it comes to terms with General Dynamics, avoiding a strike that was about to take place.
A NEW BREAKTHROUGH PROMISES TO REDUCE SOLAR PANEL SIZE BY HALF – The Kinematic Charger was unveiled at the Asia Clean Energy Summit. It is a new technology which Singapore-Based Fizix Solar has created from a U.S. patent. The technology will allegedly improve its output power but will also reduce the size of solar panels by 50 percent or more. The technology could make solar panels competitive with traditional sources of energy like fossil fuels and natural gas.

CANADA ACCUSES CHINA OF LAUNCHING A “SPAMOUFLAGE” ASSAULT ON ITS ELECTED OFFICIALS – Global Affairs Canada issued a statement targeting China’s alleged activities within its borders in which it said, “Global Affairs Canada’s (GAC) Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) Canada has detected a ‘Spamouflage’ campaign connected to the People’s Republic of China. Beginning in early August 2023 and accelerating in scale over the September long-weekend, a bot network left thousands of comments in English and French on the Facebook and X/Twitter accounts of Canadian Members of Parliaments (MPs).
“This campaign targeted dozens of MPs from across the political spectrum and spanning multiple geographic regions of Canada, including the Prime Minister, the leader of the Official Opposition, and several members of Cabinet.”
TIKTOK PROTECTING TRANS-MILITANCY IN ITS FILTER ALGORITHMS – The College Fix has seen their video showing trans-activist militants flipping over a table at a Riley Gaines event removed from TikTok, and it’s not the first type video to be censored from the CCP-DNC platform. At home, the CCP would censor “pro-trans” content, but in America, it seeks to use trans-militancy as another destructive force against our republic, with the hope of finally ending the liberty-based model of government this nation has been for the rest of the world.

SWEDEN CLOSER TO NATO ADMISSION AS TURKEY TO CONSIDER RATIFICATION – The Turkish government announced it has officially submitted Sweden’s NATO application for approval to its Grand National Assembly, though any timeline as to when it would be voted on was not included in the statement.
AS HUNGARY COZIES UP TO RUSSIA, NATO CONDUCTS “EMERGENCY MEETING” – It appears all is not well in the NATO alliance as one of its members, and also an EU member, Hungary, appears to be chaffing at the bit to leave while its President, Orban, has decided to have a one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, NATO leaders have conducted an “Emergency Meeting” to figure out how to respond to these moves.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

AND THEN THERE WERE 9 HOUSE SPEAKER CANDIDATES – After going through the nomination and confirmation process with Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) and failing to find the majority consent needed to make Jordan the next House Speaker, the Republicans are back to square one with today being the day they will attempt to select a new nominee that might finally meet the minimum threshold to be the next Speaker of the U.S. House.
Nine candidates have emerged to replace McCarthy and the Jordan nomination. The frontrunner, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) does not have Trump’s support, calling into question whether the same 8 that ousted McCarthy will go along with his nomination, should he get it.
ONE POLLSTER BELIEVES BIDEN IS HEADED FOR HISTORIC LOSS – A leading national pollster, John McLaughlin, is claiming Donald Trump could very well be headed to an historic victory, with McLaughlin addressing a statement by Michael Patrick Leahy, who interviewed him for the Tennessee Star, that the more they go after Trump the more powerful he becomes.
McLaughlin said, “Yes, because it would be an electoral landslide because when you look at it, due to the census, there’s a little more electoral vote our way. But if you look at the toss-up states from last time and you say, ‘This means he’s going to win Wisconsin, Michigan’ – that’s why I went to Detroit last week to stand up for union workers, going to lose their jobs in China.”

EDITOR’S CHOICE (T-F)

CCP-OWNED TIKTOK HAS DECIDED AMERICANS CANNOT DISSENT FROM GLOBAL WARMING NARRATIVE THEY FAIL TO MEET AT HOME – While the CCP continues to enact policies outside of rhetoric that undermines its claims to be in support of actions to reverse the trends of “man-made global warming,” here in America its powerful spy app, TikTok, is being used to chill dissent from that narrative, an action supported by “American” apps as well, including Facebook and Google. It seems Silicon Valley has more in common with the CCP than it does the Constitution, a fact that should surprise no one.
GOP WANTS ANSWERS FROM BIDEN’S CENSORSHIP DEPARTMENT, CISA – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) seems far more interested in protecting the DNC-CCP’s holy narrative than it does to combat foreign threats to our republic, Republicans allege, and Republicans, led by Rand Paul (R-KY), seek to hold the DNC-CCP agency accountable for its criminal and seditious actions against the American People.
Rand Paul said of the corrupt organization, “CISA has blatantly violated the First Amendment and colluded with Big Tech to censor the speech of ordinary Americans.” They do this in service to Promerica (which is no America at all), the DNC-CCP’s replacement for America, in treasonous violation of our founding principles and Rule of Law.

SCI-TECH (T-F)

BILAYER LIQUID-SOLID CONDUCTORS COULD POWER YOUR WEARABLE TECH – A new material called the Bilayer-Solid Conductor (BiLiSC) could make wearable tech more flexible and more responsive than ever before. Lim Chwee Teck, professor and director of the National University of Singapore’s Institute for Health Innovation & Technology and leader of the research team said of the breakthrough, “We developed this technology in response to the need for circuitry with robust performance, functionality, and yet ‘unbreakable’ for next-generation wearable, robotic, and smart devices. The liquid metal circuitry using BiLiSC allows these devices to withstand large deformation and even self-heal to ensure electronic and functional integrity.”
KIDNEYS PRINTED ON DEMAND! – A Lithuanian start-up company called Vital3D is claiming they will soon be able to bioprint human organs, such as kidneys, on demand, saving millions of lives who otherwise would die while waiting to get an organ transplant that never arrives. “Our aim with this innovation is transformative. We aspire to print the kidney’s expansive vascular network, within just a 24-hour period,” said Vidmantas Šakalys, CEO of Vital 3D.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
