GEORGIA CONSIDERS IMPEACHING LAWFARE DA TARGETING TRUMP – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could be facing impeachment charges if Republican Georgia State Senator Colton Moore has his way. He declared, “As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis. America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.” GO DEEPER
WOKE RALPH LAUREN EXPOSED AS EXPLOITING UYGHUR SLAVE LABOR – Ralph Lauren, the fashion company that has wholly embraced Woketarianism and has gone all in with the rainbow cult, is being exposed not as a hypocrite but a true reflection of the depravity that wokeness creates in the minds of those who practice such abominable anti-Christ religions. The company is being exposed by a Canadian watchdog for exploiting the cheap labor of slaves, choosing to do business with the fascist state of China, who enslaves Uyghurs and forces them to make Ralph Lauren products.

PUTIN TELEGRAPHS IRAN’S POTENTIAL INCLUSION IN BRICS – The coalition of countries comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa may have another letter added to its name if Vladimir Putin has his way. The de facto dictator met with Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to talk about the potential for including Iran in the BRICS coalition. BRICS would become BRINCS, this writer supposes, a growing coalition of countries that seek to undermine America’s hegemony over the world by creating a shared currency that can one day become the new global reserve currency.

NON-PROFIT VIOLATES CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS TO DELIVER MILLIONS OF VOTERS TO DNC – Capital Research has exposed a massive campaign by the allegedly non-partisan non-profit Everybody votes campaign that reveals the organization raised $190 million tax-free dollars (including from Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother) and delivered 1 to 2.7 million voters to the DNC in 2020 alone.
From the report: Our investigation proves, once and for all, that Democrats used truckloads of money from private foundations and public charities to give their donors enormous tax breaks and pad their electoral margins in 2020, even though charities and foundations are strictly forbidden by law to operate with the effect, much less the intent, of benefiting a political party.
SCIENTISTS LEARN MOLECULAR LANGUAGE TO DESIGN PROGRAMMABLE ANTIBODY SENSOR – Canadian researchers from the University of Montreal have cracked the code of two molecular languages, a code that enables life to be created and formed. Using this information, they used one language, multivalency, to create a nano-sized programmable antibody sensor. Vallée-Bélisle, a lead researcher on the project, said, “Given the complexity of natural nanosystems, before now nobody was able to compare the basic rules, advantages, or limitations of these two languages on the same system.”

D.C. DESCENDS INTO A HOMICIDE-SPIKING, CRIME-WAVING ABYSS – Democrat-controlled Washington, D.C. has experienced a staggering 27 percent increase in their homicide rate since last year, according to D.C.’s own Metropolitan Department (MPD). The city has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, but the laws don’t appear to be stopping the murders.
According to their statistics, homicides are up from 133 from January 1 through August 16, 2022, to 161 from the same date range for the calendar year 2023. Those are not the only crime rates that are up. Sexual abuse cases are up 85 percent, Robbery is up 63 percent, and Arson is up 167 percent.
ARIZONA AG JOINS LAWFARE ASSAULT ON DNC’S OPPOSITION – Another Democrat revolutionary activist DA, the Arizona State Attorney General Kris Mayes, who won her election of her Republican challenger in 2022 by 202 totally legitimate votes, is seeking to gain fame, fortune and notoriety by using the power of the state to lawfare assault the DNC’s political opposition. She has announced that her office is conducting an investigation into possible criminal activities by the GOP connected to fake electors.
Give her about a month and she’ll announce sweeping charges against half the GOP leaders in her state, if she has her way.

LIBYA SAYS TURKEY GETTING PORT LEASE FOR NAVAL BASE IS FAKE NEWS – After multiple media reports came out suggesting the Turks would have a lease of the Port of Al-Khums to be used as a naval base, Libyan leaders are denying the claim, though they hold open the possibility Turkey could eventually earn the lease if they’re willing to meet the needs of all the “authorities” involved in the decision-making process.
SPANISH PARLIAMENT SELECTS SPEAKER AS CATALAN SEPARATISTS PLAY KINGMAKERS – The Catalan separatist party led by JxCat is positioned to be the potential kingmaker that could save the left from losing the election that, by votes, they already lost. The separatist party has a bad relationship with the party in power, who prevented them from voting for the right to self-rule and rolled back a lot of the autonomy the region once had. The cost for the left will be the restoration of self-rule for Catalan, a concession it is not certain the left will accept.

HOUSE GOP PUSHES NATIONAL ARCHIVES TO PRODUCE BIDEN’S BURNER ACCOUNT EMAILS – U.S. Representative James Comer (R-KY), the Chairman on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, has sent an urgent letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to produce ALL of the unredacted emails from Joe Biden’s burner email account. Comer stated in the press release, “Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling. We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption.”
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY THREATENS TO IMPEACH DNC JUSTICE WHO REFUSES TO RECUSE HERSELF – Wisconsin’s Assembly Speaker Robin Voss has fired a shot across the bow of the recently DNC-tilted Wisconsin Supreme Court, demanding the recently elected left-wing fanatic Justice, Janet Protasiewicz, recuse herself against obvious cases that her own campaign demonstrated she has a conflict of interest in adjudicating.
He said, “If there is any semblance of honor on the state Supreme Court left, you cannot have a person who runs for the court prejudging a case and being open about it, and then acting on the case as if you’re an impartial observer.” If she continues to ignore legal and court precedent, the assembly will move to impeach and remove her, and it appears they might have enough votes to pull it off.

EDITOR’S CHOICE

LAWSUITS CONTEND YOUTUBE, REDDIT BEHIND BUFFALO NY MASS SHOOTING – Two separate lawsuits were filed in Erie County, NY, the home of Buffalo, where a mass shooting took place on May 2022. The lawsuits name YouTube, Reddit, and Georgia arms company MEAN LLC. Everytown Law filed both lawsuits. The actions by the far left organization demonstrate that not even the “allies” (of which YouTube is certainly one) are safe from lawfare should it serve the political need of the party. It is the Law arm of Everytown, a billionaire leftist group aimed at disarming Americans for the good of the whole (the whole being the party).
NY JUDGE GIVES MAN NO BAIL AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR MURDER – A Rochester City Court Judge named Michael Lopez let a man out without bail who had been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing another man. Dennis Speed was arrested in mid-July in connection to a shooting outside a bar that left two men dead. He is suspected of killing the man who killed the other victim. He already has felony convictions in NY and Georgia, but the Judge failed to take any of that into consideration.

PIG KIDNEY SURVIVES IN HUMAN OVER 32 DAYS – Scientists are getting closer to be able to use pig kidneys for humans after an NYU experiment in which a pig kidney was successfully transplanted to a living human being. The kidney has been inside the human for more than 32 days. The human in the experiment is brain dead, so they are being kept alive using a ventilator.
SATELLITES SMALLER THAN A BREAD BASKET COMING YOUR WAY THANKS TO LEVITATED OPTOMECHANICS – Researchers working in collaboration with one another from Universities of Warwick, Swansea, and Strathclyde in the United Kingdom have developed a technique that could shrink high-tech electronics dramatically. With this technique, engineers will be able to reduce satellites that are often larger than cars down to the size of a bread basket, or even smaller, which could dramatically reduce the expense of manufacturing and sending satellites into space.
One of the researchers, Danie Oi, said “We are developing highly sensitive sensors for satellites that are greatly reduced in size and capable of measuring the space environment. This is part of a broader international quantum technology program that will extend its applications from Earth to space-bound missions.”
