'F*ck Joe Biden!' chants erupt during Ole Miss-Arkansas game

biden college
College football country hasn't been kind to President Joe Biden since the season kicked off. The trend of anti-Biden chants from fans continued amid an offensive slugfest between the Ole Miss Rebels and Arkansas Razorbacks. Despite the dismissiveness of the establishment press, who tried to play off chants at a NASCAR XFinity event as "Let's Go Brandon!", it has taken root in true American fashion in student sections and stadium bowls up and down the country.


While the thunderous chants originated in southern states where the president is deeply unpopular, from Auburn to Indiana to Texas A&M, and now at Ole Miss, it's spreading to sports arenas across the nation; anti-Biden chants were heard at the most recent iteration of the "Subway Series" between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees.

With playoff baseball kicking off, plenty of exciting college football still on the schedule and the start of the NHL and NBA seasons just around the corner, it remains to be seen whether this is just a blip of discontent, or a titantic, grassroots rejection of Biden's presidency.

Ontario health sector braces for worse staff shortages as vaccine mandates come due

hospital
Hundreds of Ontario workers in hospitals and long-term care could be off the job in the coming weeks because they did not get vaccinated against COVID-19, further complicating what advocates call a "perfect storm" of staff shortages.

The president of a union representing workers in long-term care, hospitals and retirement homes said the staffing problem, driven by low wages, lack of full-time jobs and poor work conditions, predates the pandemic, and vaccine mandates will likely add to it.

"It'll have an impact on staffing levels that are already at a critical point," Sharleen Stewart of SEIU Healthcare said in an interview. "It's kind of stirred up the perfect storm now."

A deadline of Nov. 15 has been set for Ontario long-term care staff to get immunized or lose access to their workplaces. It's up to the homes what happens after that, but many operators had already set dates to place unvaccinated people on leave, citing the devastating impact of COVID-19 and the risk of the highly transmissible Delta variant.

Google and YouTube to prohibit advertisements on content with false information on climate change

google youtube
Google and YouTube will soon prohibit advertisements on content that "contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change," Google announced Thursday. The decision will prevent the creators of such content from earning ad revenue from Google.

The advertisement ban, which will be implemented next month, targets "content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change," Google said. The platforms will also ban ads that promote that type of content.

"In recent years we've heard directly from a growing number of our advertising and publisher partners who have expressed concerns about ads that run alongside or promote inaccurate claims about climate change," Google wrote in a statement. "Advertisers simply don't want their ads to appear next to this content. And publishers and creators don't want ads promoting these claims to appear on their pages or videos."

Comment: Can't have anything that questions the official line out there. Next step will be for them to simply ban the content like they did with anything coronavirus.

A quarter of Americans indicated that they either are not getting the vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus, or they are not sure, and a majority of those who remain unvaccinated say they will not get the shot, a Yahoo! News/YouGov survey released this week found.

The survey, taken October 1-4, 2021, among 1,640 U.S. adults, asked respondents to describe their "personal situation" regarding coronavirus vaccines.

A majority, 64 percent, said they are fully vaccinated, while six percent said they are in the process of getting vaccinated and five percent said they are planning to get vaccinated. However, a quarter of Americans at least expressed hesitancy. Of those, 15 percent said they will not get vaccinated, and another ten percent said they are "not sure" about getting vaccinated.

The survey also asked the unvaccinated, specifically, if they plan to get the shot. Sixty percent said "no," they do not plan to do so, and one quarter said they are "not sure." Only 15 percent said "yes," they plan to get the shot.

A Florida veterinarian was sentenced Friday to nearly 22 years in federal prison for recording videos of himself sexually abusing dogs and for collecting child pornography.

Prentiss Madden, 40, was hit with a total of 272 months behind bars after pleading guilty in July to child porn and animal cruelty charges, prosecutors with the US Attorney's Office of the Southern District of Florida announced.

Prosecutors said the sicko vet made videos of himself engaged in sexual activity with dogs and shared them with other degenerates in online chats. Investigators discovered the disturbing videos, as well as chats about bestiality, on his cell phones.

Cost of food in the world rising at fastest pace in 40 years, lockdowns largely to blame

Global food prices have continued to grow substantially this year, with the price index shooting up 27%, according to the INFOLine information and analytical agency.

"This is one of the most dynamic price increases since the 70s. Then the price level was about the same, but then it was associated with global financial changes. For 40 years there has not been such a rise in prices that we are now observing," INFOLine CEO Ivan Fedyakov told URA.RU.

The analyst pointed to the fact that prices for various goods are related. "Prices are growing not only for fruits and vegetables or milk, but also for feed and fertilizers. This triggers a price spiral, and prices rise and will continue to rise, but the other question is that purchasing power is not unlimited."

Comment: All of the above issues are likely to get worse, more so with the disruption that the vaccine mandates are already causing. This is even before factoring in the devastating losses to the food supply due to the increasingly erratic and extreme weather in recent years.

Food shortages of a kind are already here, they've just been buffered by soaring prices and concealed by 'shrinkflation', but, soon enough, the reality of the situation will truly begin to bite: For more, check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Is The Government Hyping Shortages?

A Navy nuclear engineer with access to military secrets has been charged with trying to pass information about the design of American nuclear-powered submarines to someone he thought was a representative of a foreign government but who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent, the Justice Department said Sunday.

In a criminal complaint detailing espionage-related charges against Jonathan Toebbe, the government said he sold information for nearly the past year to a contact he believed represented a foreign power. That country was not named in the court documents.

Toebbe, 42, was arrested in West Virginia on Saturday along with his wife, Diana, 45, after he had placed a removable memory card at a prearranged "dead drop" in the state, according to the Justice Department. They're scheduled to have an initial appearance in federal court Tuesday in Martinsburg.

Violent criminals to be banned from popular night-life areas in Denmark

Violent criminals will be banned from visiting popular nightlife areas in Denmark under a new law.

Danish courts can now prohibit certain offenders from "no go" zones set up by police to reduce nighttime violence.

On Monday, a 31-year-old man was sentenced under the new law by the Copenhagen City Court.

The suspect was banned from visiting nighttime hubs in the Danish capital for eight months and was also given a six-month prison sentence, according to Danish police.

Comment: Considering the times we live in, one could be forgiven for thinking this new law is a little questionable; aren't there already laws in place to deal with issues such as this? How will more laws solve these problems? Either violent criminals have served their time or they haven't; why would a violent offender be out on the streets at all? How will they identify who is allowed in these areas and who is not? Will this law eventually be used to target other people, such as protesters?

Gabby Petito update: FBI's decision to hold victim's remains, cause of death 'very unusual,' Dr. Baden says

Two weeks since Gabby Petito was revealed to have been the victim of a homicide, famed forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden told Fox News the FBI's decision to withhold her remains from her family was "very unusual," as was the agency's decision not to release the cause of her death when the manner was announced.

Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue found in his initial determination that Petito, 22, was the victim of a homicide, the FBI's Denver Field Office announced on Sept. 21. Her body had turned up near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on Sept. 19.

But the office stopped short of revealing the cause of death pending the final autopsy results, and days went by without the agency releasing her remains to the family - a move that Baden, a Fox News contributor, called "very unusual."

"I think the FBI would be very cautious about things because they don't want to make a mistake," he told Fox News. "Whatever reasons they're withholding, it is very unusual."

More Black Americans died from San Francisco's drug experiment in one year than died from the Tuskegee experiment in 40 years

For over a decade, the city of San Francisco has been carrying out an experiment. What happens when thousands of drug addicts are not only permitted to use heroin, fentanyl and meth publicly, but also enabled to do so? The results are in: hundreds of them die annually. Last year, 712 people in San Francisco died from drug overdoses or poisoning, and this year a similar number are on track to do so.

Worse, cities around the country, from Seattle and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Boston, have been copying San Francisco's approach. Partly as a result of these supposedly progressive policies, 93,000 people in the US died in 2021 from illicit drugs, a more than five-fold increase from the 17,000 people killed by illicit drugs in 2000.

For most of my adult life, I was sympathetic to the progressive liberalization agenda. In the late 1990s, I worked with organizations funded by George Soros and others to decriminalize drugs, give clean needles to addicts to prevent the spread of HIV-AIDS, and subsidize housing for the homeless. But as drug deaths rose, and the drug-fueled homeless problem worsened, I decided to take a closer look at the problem.

What I discovered shocked me. Rather than arresting hard drug users when they break laws, and giving them the choice of jail or drug treatment, the only strategy proven to work, the city of San Francisco provides addicts with the cash, housing and drug paraphernalia they need to purchase and use deadly drugs.
