Obama, Not Trump, Is Kamala's "Dictator"

After four terms of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, incomplete as they were, Congress decided on limiting presidents to serving two terms. Enough was enough. (It should be for most of Washington, but that’s for another discussion.)

This did not mean much to Barack H. Obama because of his preference for ruling from the aforementioned basement, whether it’s in Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii or DC’s posh Kalorama neighborhood.

He had already governed twice from the White House and once from the basements under Mr. Biden, now potentially two more times during Harris administrations. That would make twenty years at the helm, covertly and not, interrupted only by four years of Trump.

Pelosi Celebrates Bill Allowing Illegal Immigrants To Buy Homes With American Tax Dollars The program gives first-time homebuyers loan assistance of up to 20 percent of a property’s value with a cap of $150,000.

Migrants flooding NYC’s justice system — making up ‘75% of arrests in Midtown’ — as ‘pathetic’ sanctuary city laws handcuff cops The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.

This makes it almost impossible for authorities to get their arms around the problem, experts and sources on the ground say.

The next would-be assassin may be a drone pilot. US law enforcement doesn't look ready This is becoming a weapon of choice in Ukraine and across the Middle East, a remote-controlled flying bomb that would likely have more seriously wounded the Republican candidate. Security experts warn that inexpensive drones can be easily transformed into dangerous weapons by extremist groups in the West.

For the US Secret Service and other executive protection agencies, keeping prominent figures safe from traditional threats — guns, knives, bombs — is challenging enough. Drones offer a new and dangerous threat that law enforcement isn't ready for.

Pro-Hamas Mob Terrorizes New York City During Labor Day Weekend Thousands met up at Union Square in Manhattan and marched to Washington Square Park.

Las Vegas Teen Converts to Islam, and Guess What He Did Next This was after a sheet of notebook paper was found in his bedroom at the time of his arrest; Robles had completed a faithful recreation of the Islamic State (ISIS) flag, which features in Arabic the Islamic profession of faith: “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.” Underneath that, the earnest young convert wrote in all caps: “DEATH TO JEWS.”

Around that time, Robles was proudly posting online about his enthusiasm for his newfound faith: “Peace by [sic] upon all brothers who see this,” he wrote. “I am here to announce that I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah.” When police raided his home, they found “components they said could be used to make an explosive device.”

Authorities think that Robles was “building explosive devices similar to the ones that killed three and injured hundreds in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.”

Shock leak: Facebook, Google 'ARE listening into your conversations' An apparent pitch deck from one of Facebook's alleged marketing partners appears to detail how the firm eavesdrops on users' conversations to create targeted ads.

In a slideshow, Cox Media Group (CMG) claims that its 'Active-Listening' software uses AI to collect and analyze 'real-time intent data' by listening to what you say through your phone, laptop or home assistant microphone.

The Cold, Hard, Kamala-Repelling Truth about Electric Vehicles Bottom line: over the entire life cycle of an E.V., from raw materials to final disposal, driving an E.V. or plug-in E.V. produces more pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions than a comparable hybrid E.V. We truly live in a Bizarro World, where Kamala’s ideology overrides reality.

If the COVID shots are so safe, then why have over 80% of NHS employees refused to take another booster? Former UK MP Andrew Bridgen just told me that over 80% of the NHS employees won't take any more shots. I asked several AI models what this means.

RFK Jr: There Has To Be "A Reckoning" For "Immoral, Homicidal" COVID Criminality He noted that effective treatments were repressed, stating “Ivermectin was a very, very devastating cure for COVID. It literally obliterated COVID.”

“By depriving people of Ivermectin, many, many people, millions of people around the globe, died, and they didn’t need to,” Kennedy added, charging that Fauci and others pressured the FDA to discourage such treatments in favour of relentlessly pushing unproven and untested vaccines.

“There were cures for COVID from day one, very effective cures. But they didn’t want that. They wanted the vaccine only,” Kennedy posited, adding “if they admitted that any of [the treatments] were effective, the whole vaccine project would have fallen apart.”
