France train lines hit by arson attacks just hours before 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony

“The head of France's rail network called it a "coordinated attack."”

No worries, this was just a peaceful protest.  No politicians were threatened, there wasn't any unchecked tourism at any government buildings, and the security of elections was never threatened.  The protest vandalized public infrastructure and only temporarily disrupted the lives of hundreds of...

Gabby Giffords Rips Into J.D. Vance Over 'Childless' Comment: 'Disgraceful'

“The ex-congresswoman, whose husband could become Kamala Harris' running mate, said her 2011 shooting left her unable to have children.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know Mark Kelly is on the VP A-list for a B-list Presidential candidate.  We all know that Gabby Giffords is the go-to tragic victim of political violence.  We understand that the unbiased liberal press wants to get back to a close horse race so they can skim off as many...

“Do you want to level up your startup's visual game? Get your hands on these 5 free AI image generators to transform your digital content and branding!”

Would these create deep fakes or just fakes on the cheap?  Right now using these only requires creating (or using) an account.  But don't expect these toys to be cost-free for long.

“Marine animals are ingesting high levels of the recreational narcotic from human sources - and it may be affecting their behaviour”

Okay, now beach goers have to worry about hopped up, nearsighted sharks hunting for munchies.  Is it possible for people to screw things up even more?

Kamala Harris Faces Potential Challenger for Democratic Nomination

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  13 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  4 months ago

“Speculation is already turning toward potential Democratic rivals who may stand against Harris in her bid to take the top job at the White House.”

Challenges and threats to withhold support are normal for primaries.  That's how various political factions bargain for promises of support from candidates.  Biden being forced out of the race after the primaries won't change the motivation to press Kamala Harris for promises of support.  IMO...

Democrats hope to use crisis to transform election

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  3 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  4 months ago

“As they say in American sports, "the fix is in".”

Democrats are reeling from another crisis of their own making.  If we are truly honest with ourselves, the legacy of Job Biden's time in office will be one of crisis after crisis.  These weren't natural disasters, private sector meltdowns, or unexpected threats.  Almost all of the crises Joe...

As Biden quits race, Republicans call for him to resign

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  14 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  4 months ago

“Joe Biden is no longer running for reelection. Democrats like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris praised his withdrawal as a step that put the country...”

Okay, the election has now become surreal.  Donald Trump was shot but Joe Biden didn't survive?  Democrats are united in praising Joe Biden for quitting the race?  Only by quitting the campaign could Joe Biden focus attention on being President?  Now the party of convicted felons is the party of...

Could geo-engineering help save the planet?

“It isn't a silver bullet that's going to solve everything but it possibly could be part of an array of solutions.”

There is a lot of misinformation to unpack here.  Unfortunately that has become all too common for reporting on climate change.  It's a consequence of political scientists perverting and subverting the work of real scientists for fun and profit. First of all, the planet does not need saving....

Dems want to replace Joe Biden: What about Hillary Clinton?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  11 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  4 months ago

“In the increasingly bloody amphitheater of American politics, the idea of Hillary Clinton making another presidential run might seem like...”

Bad idea.  There is little doubt the United States has entered a post Reagan era.  Hillary Clinton is obsolete and will tear the country apart trying to make herself relevant.  People don't seem to recognize that the world has spun into chaos under Joe Biden's leadership simply because Biden is...

Republicans coalesce as Democrats flail: week that upended US presidential race

“Republican national convention described as 'the happiest place on Earth' as Democrats fight and Biden gets Covid”

Democrats, as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, began planning to make the 2024 election a referendum on Trump.  That plan was thrown on the scrap heap by 90 minutes of public disclosure.  The electorate tuned in to watch Joe Biden roundly thrash Donald Trump.  But they were completely...
