Notes from the Resistance
Study shows cash transfers from rich to poor can increase happiness of the poor [More]
So naturally, the solution for human happiness is a dependency on communists!
Just ask CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil!
Curious thing though– they don’t really tell us much about the qualifications of the “researchers” to fundamentally alter the governance and course of humanity.
One is this guy, who also shared his “water is wet” epiphany by concluding “Smartphone use undermines enjoyment of face-to-face social interactions,” and the other fancies herself an expert in happiness who does a mediocre job of imparting it to those taking her classes.
Reality, of course, shows us that totalitarian governments with the power to impose forced wealth transfers have historically always resulted in human misery and destitution.
As an aside, you’d think a smart guy like Jeff Bezos would realize a simple truth pointed out by John Stossel:
If the IRS grabbed 100 percent of income over $1 million, the take would be just $616 billion. That’s only a third of this year’s deficit.

An annual transfer of funds from rich to poor countries, starting at around $2 trillion by 2030 and rising thereafter, is needed for climate “justice” according to a U.N.-backed report released Tuesday. China has been specifically excluded from the demand for reparations, which includes taxes for fossil fuel companies on their global “carbon profits,” even as the Communist state’s greenhouse gas emissions now exceed the entire rest of the developed world combined.

And no one in a position of authority here has told them to go f*** themselves?

It’s impossible not to notice, though. When certain issues come up, anybody deviating from a certain position is viciously attacked and “cancelled.” [More]
So I haven’t just been imagining stuff like “baseless” or “botched gun sting“…?

Massachusetts has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and leads the nation in investing in community violence intervention strategies. [More]
I guess it all depends on the metrics:

Michigan man gets life in prison after kidnapping, sexually assaulting Lubbock teen … By law, 14-year-olds simply cannot consent to sexual contact with adults. [More]
Besides, I thought “Minor Attracted People” were another victim group discriminated against by hateful Christian Nationalists…
And what about Drag Queen Story Hour?
Besides, all the cool school boards say sexualizing children is “progressive.”
After all, aren’t puberty blockers a human right?…
Don’t you think it will be easier if we just surrender to the inevitable?

This is not science—this is propaganda and it’s a gross abuse of public trust by leftist quacks with a naked political agenda. [More]
A fair assessment would conclude they are deliberately committing malpractice.
Never before have we been able to observe the application and effects of these powerful technologies in real-time on such a massive scale. [More]
I believe this is one reason why we who have been fighting the lies about the right to keep and bear arms for years, and who have seen the denial of reality and insistent substitution of lies coming from what we’ve been conditioned to accept as “authority figures” are better prepared than most to recognize when it’s being done in other areas.
And an age-old question comes to mind.

By the way, when total crimes per 1K, as opposed to homicides alone, is considered as a measure of national violence, Nationmaster.com ranks Iceland, Sweden, the U.K., New Zealand, Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Austria, France, S.

And if you take Democrat-controlled Bloomberg cities out of the equation, armed-to-the-teeth red demographic America is less homicidal, too…

Sometimes, all you need to do is present… and he doesn’t seem to factor in multiple assailants.
I wonder how he’d fare…
Who’d pay good money to watch?

The speaker is Robert Englander and his credentials are impeccable … And he’s suggesting that shamanism and Western science are equally valid medical practices. [More]
As Gomez noted:
I wish he’d shake his rattles or yell a few times as Dr. Mbogo does. Makes you feel like he’s accomplishing something.

In COVID hearing, #Pfizer director admits: #vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission. “Get vaccinated for others” was always a lie. The only purpose of the #COVID passport: forcing people to get vaccinated. The world needs to know. Share this video! [Watch]
So mob participants and inciters like that moronic hatemonger Howard Stern wishing the unvaccinated dead and urging hospitals not to treat them are going to apologize and beg forgiveness?
The National Guard administered the COVID-19 vaccine to multiple service members who were lined up for the influenza vaccine, including a member who objected to the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds, according to officials and one of the members. [More]
And the people who did it haven’t been arrested and offered reduced sentences in exchange for giving up who ordered them…?
If there are complications, all the weight of the world will be on the side that says you can’t prove it’s due to the jab.

Ian turned, Southwest Florida scrambled. Was there enough time to leave? Some residents said evacuation orders came too late. Gov. Ron DeSantis said forecasts left few options. [More]
