  1. the west is out of it’s mind. AZ wants to donate unclaimed firearms to ukraine

    I just read an article the Phoenix AZ City Council just voted unanimously to donate 500-600 unclaimed firearms (worth roughly $200,000) to the police in Ukraine.

    This is so boneheaded on so many levels, it is hard to believe.

    Since when does an American city council have permission to export weapons to another country?

    Will these weapons shipments be handled by the CIA? We know what kind of global murder they can facilitate.

    For openers, hundreds of firearms sent to Ukraine will almost certainly be sold on the black market and result in people all over the world being killed by those donated firearms.

    Many of these firearms may use ammunition calibers not widely available in Ukraine.

    What will the police in Ukraine do with some American grandpa’s lever action rifle in .32-20 caliber?

    Ukraine is nothing but an organized crime operation. The country is the most corrupt on Earth.

    Political leaders in Africa have already reported military weapons sent to Ukraine have ended up in the hands of outlaws in Africa.

    Is it just me? I could have sworn that the initial reporting said that cocaine was found outside the White House. Now it seems that it was found inside the library. Good times!!

  7. “In a new paper, Phase Transition in Random Circuit Sampling, Google presents their new quantum computer. According to the researchers, the new device instantly makes calculations that take rivals 47 years. While the 2019 machine had 53 qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, the next generation device has 70. Adding more qubits improves a quantum computer’s power exponentially, meaning the new machine is 241 million times more powerful than the 2019 machine. The researchers said it would take Frontier, the world’s leading supercomputer, 6.18 seconds to match a calculation from Google’s 53-qubit computer from 2019. In comparison, it would take 47.2 years to match its latest one.”

    Federal Judge Limits Biden Officials’ Contacts With Social Media SitesThe order came in a lawsuit filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, who claim the administration is trying to silence its critics.

    A federal court in Louisiana on Tuesday barred parts of the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about broad swaths of content online, a ruling that could curtail efforts to combat false and misleading narratives about the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
    In the ruling, Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana said that parts of the government, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, could not talk to social media companies for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

  11. “Are Americans Celebrating Something They Don’t Actually Understand On This Independence Day?”
    POLITICAL MOONSHINE
    JUL 4, 2023

    EXCERPT: “Are Americans celebrating something they don’t actually understand on this Independence Day? For a staggering number of Americans, the sad answer to that question is an unvarnished ‘Yes!’ and the argument behind it is a strong one. The cogent explanation is found in a simple definition for ‘independence.’ What did independence mean in 1776 and what does it mean now?”

    Senator Eric Schmitt: “In the case I filed when I was Missouri’s Attorney General – Missouri v. Biden – the federal court just granted a preliminary injunction PREVENTING the federal government from colluding with social media companies to censor speech.

    Happy 4th of July!”

    The money quote:

    “It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”

  17. ewwwwwww…pic of the transgender blm supporter who shot those people in philly

    The suspect wanted in connection with a shooting in Southwest Philadelphia on Monday night has been identified as 40-year-old Kimbrady Watson Carriker.

    According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Carriker was arrested on Monday evening after allegedly shooting and killing five people and injuring two children in the Kingsessing neighborhood. Police said they apprehended a male suspect who was wearing a ballistic vest.

    Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said law enforcement responded to gunfire in the area of South 56th Street and Chester Avenue shortly before 8:30 pm. Around 10 minutes later, police followed and cornered the suspect in an alleyway on the 1600 block of South Frazier Street.

    On Facebook, Carriker was seen posting in support of Black Lives Matter, and follows the Black Lives Matter Philly Facebook page.
