FEMA Holds Employee Trainings on ‘White Supremacy’ As More Than 1,000 Hawaiians Remain Missing   The federal government agency tasked with leading the response to natural disasters has its hands full as more than 1,000 Americans remain missing following wildfires that devastated the Hawaiian island of Maui. FEMA nonetheless is mandating a three-hour diversity training for employees that argues, among other things, that white supremacy is "ingrained in nearly every system and institution in the U.S."

Many had no warning and no way to escape deadly Maui fires, those who dodged a barricade survived  As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.

And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.

One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took a dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.

Study: Historic Jump in 'Bidenomics' Food Stamp Benefits Caused 15 Percent Increase in Grocery Prices   USDA cooked their books to hike food stamp benefits by 27 percent — the largest permanent increase in program history. And they bypassed Congress to do it. Data show the Biden administration's overreach led to massive spikes in grocery prices. They're feeding inflation, not stopping hunger.

Stefanik blasts NY's pending background check scheme

If the new background checks are implemented on schedule, New York will become just the second state in the nation (behind California) to require background checks on the sale of ammunition. Originally passed as part of the SAFE Act in 2012, the ammo background check mandate was put on ice a few years later when the state police said it was unfeasible to implement. California’s ammunition background check requirement, meanwhile, has led to tens of thousands of false denials for legal gun owners.

A Federal Court Denies Maryland Parents an Opt-Out Policy for LGBTQ Books

When the board announced that the school would begin using the “Pride storybooks,” it promised parents that they would be notified when the books would be read and that they could choose not to have their children read them. But in March of this year, the board told parents that they would not be notified when the books were used and that they could no longer have their children opt out. Becket Law said that one board member told parents that the move was justified because allowing parent to opt their children out of the books that  “offend your religious rights or your family values or your core beliefs is just telling [your] kid, ‘Here’s another reason to hate another person.’”

Portland's Predictable Doom Loop

The people elected and selected to run Portland, Oregon, are like kids who get their first car and never think to change the oil. The city is led by a cadre of ardent leftists who thought they could just rev the engine, ignore maintenance, and see the city magically run itself. Instead, they’ve driven the City of Roses into a Doom Loop.

Waste coffee grounds make concrete 30% stronger

Researchers have found that concrete can be made 30% stronger by replacing a percentage of sand with spent coffee grounds, an organic waste product produced in huge amounts that usually ends up in landfill. The method also reduces the use of natural resources like sand, further contributing to a greener circular economy approach to construction.

CDC Now Refusing New COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports in Its V-Safe Program

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) V-safe website quietly stopped collecting adverse event reports with no reason or explanation. The V-safe website simply states: “Thank you for your participation. Data collection for COVID-19 vaccines concluded on June 30, 2023.” If you go there today, V-safe directs users to the FDA’s VAERS website for adverse event reporting, even though officials continually derided VAERS as “passive” and “unverified.”... 

...Does this mean that the CDC believes that the mRNA Covid-19 injections are so safe, there is no need to monitor adverse event reports any longer? What is the argument against continued monitoring, especially since the V-safe website was already up and paid for?

Feds Arrest 300 in COVID Aid Fraud Schemes Totaling $830 Million. Just $300 Billion to Go.

If the government ever does get to the bottom of how much COVID aid was stolen, we probably won’t be alive to see it.

“I don’t see an end,” said Mike Galdo, the department’s acting director for COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement. “Based on what we’ve seen from the scope of the fraud, I don’t see an end to our work.”
