Elon Musk filed a countersuit against Twitter on Friday, escalating his legal battle with the social media company over his abandoned $44 billion agreement to take over the site.

The 164-page suit was filed under seal just before the judge-imposed 5 p.m. deadline, so its contents were not immediately visible to the public. Under court rules, a partially redacted version may be available next week.

The Post first reported Musk's plans for the counter-suit, which was filed in Delaware's Court of Chancery.

"I have reviewed the counterclaims and declare that the matter contained therein insofar as it concerns my acts and deeds is true, and insofar as it relates to the acts and deeds of any other person, I believe it to be true," said an accompanying filing signed by Musk.

Twitter shares ticked down 0.3% on the news.

Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jim Murphy accused Kim Foxx of caring more about political agendas than for crime victims and prosecuting criminals

An Illinois prosecutor took Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to task in a scathing, office-wide resignation letter, saying her office cares more about political narratives than crime victims.

Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jim Murphy said he "can't continue to work for an administration I don't respect," in his letter resigning his position after 25 years of service. His last day was Friday, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News.

"I wish I could stay," he wrote. "However, I can no longer work for this Administration. I have zero confidence in leadership."

Comment: Foxx is more interested in implementing George Soros' vision of an 'open society' than she is in keeping her constituents safe.

Fenerbahce fans will "feel what Russophobia is" as UEFA investigates them for chants they made during a match with Dynamo Kiev, according to Russian State Duma Deputy Dmitry Svishchev.

UEFA announced on Thursday that it is looking into "alleged misbehavior" of supporters of the Istanbul club after they chanted Russian President Vladimir Putin's name during a 2-1 defeat to Dynamo in a Champions League qualifying tie at their Ulker Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Reacting to the news, Russian politician Svishchev suggested to Match TV that people in the stadium "were just expressing their emotions, perhaps towards their idol."

University of Toronto mandates students to be TRIPLE vaccinated against Covid

The University of Toronto lifted its vaccination requirement this past spring but will mandate that all students living in residence be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 during the upcoming academic year.

The school made the announcement in a memo sent out to the university community on Thursday.

It says that while students who are not fully vaccinated have been permitted to enroll in classes with in-person components since May 1, a decision has been made to continue to reinstate the mandatory vaccination policy for those living in residence.

Under the updated policy, all students moving into residence will be required to have completed their primary series of vaccinations as well as received a booster dose at least 14 days prior to their arrival on campus.


Comment: Cue the countdown for an outbreak caused by the newly jabbed, and likely immunocompromised, super shedders.


Comment: The last 18 months or so of the injection roll outs have already made it irrefutable that these experimental jabs can cause harm - and in some cases they're deadly - and they don't protect against Covid, and so it's not like this mandate will even provide new data for the injection trials.

Sadly, however, the suffering this mandate will cause might force (some of) these young adults and their loved ones to acknowledge the lies and insidious nonsense the contrived coronavirus crisis is founded upon.

If telling the truth puts me on Ukraine's 'Russian propagandist' blacklist, I'll wear that tag proudly

When it comes to fact-based analysis, I'll take so-called 'Russian propaganda' over 'Ukrainian truth' every day.

In 1997, I flew into Kiev, on-mission with the United Nations Special Commission to seek the assistance of the Ukrainian government in investigating the activities of a Ukrainian citizen suspected of illegally selling ballistic missile components and manufacturing capabilities to Iraq in violation of Security Council-imposed economic sanctions. During my visit, I held several meetings with senior officials from the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, including its Secretary, Vladimir Horbulin. I left on good terms, with the Ukrainians agreeing to cooperate (they ultimately did not) and hoping that I would pass on their good attitude to US authorities in hopes that it would assist their desire for NATO membership (I did, in fact, do this.)

Twenty-five years later, this same National Security and Defense Council, through its "Center for Countering Disinformation," has published a blacklist of individuals deemed to be "promoting Russian propaganda."

LA County abandons plan to reimpose mask mandate as multiple cities refused enforcement

masks are required for everyone
Update (1750ET): In a somewhat surprising turn of events for the medical tyranny, Los Angeles County has abandoned its plan to reimpose indoor mask mandate as COVID cases and hospitalizations stabilize.

The county entered the "high" category two weeks ago when the average daily rate of COVID-related hospital admissions rose above 10 per 100,000 residents. As of last Thursday, the rate was 11.7 admissions per 100,000 residents.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said cases may have slowed, but he supports whatever health officials decide.

Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer made the announced during a livestreamed meeting.

Comment: It's good to see that people aren't falling for the same BS this time around and that local councils are rejecting the orders from on-high. It remains to be seen whether this kind of resistance lasts.

Jordan Peterson: Worst is yet to come from Trudeau Liberals

Rough times are a-coming, what with the cascading consequences of energy shortages, supply chain disruptions, war in Ukraine and severe and looming food and fertilizer shortages.

I have had the great privilege of travelling to 40 American cities in just about as many states and to 15 European countries in the last four months, in the waning days of the great COVID panic, and I have learned many things about our great and self-conscious nation.

First: I have not travelled anywhere else where the citizens and the government are more neurotically "concerned" about the pandemic. It may have escaped Canadians' notice, but virtually nowhere else in the developed world is it now required to wear a mask, as is still mandatory in many of Canada's airports and on flights out of our benighted country. There is absolutely no excuse for this, except the punitive self-righteousness of the Trudeau Liberals. What else might you expect, however, from a government that also includes Chrystia Freeland, a deputy prime minister who has bragged about her colleagues' appalling economic performance, claiming that it is actually good for Canadians to empty their wallets at the gas pumps, because of its implications in fighting the "climate emergency." I simply cannot believe that this absolute failure of economic policy is now being trumpeted as a positive accomplishment. Here's a hint for you saintly progressives: if you cared about the poor (the real poor, not the hypothetical poor you are hypothetically saving in the future), you would seek to drive down the cost of energy — energy that is precisely equivalent to work and, therefore, to the wealth that ameliorates poverty.

Wikipedia restricts edits to 'recession' page after Biden denial of definition

Wikipedia has blocked additional edits to the 'recession' page after users attempted to adjust it in response to President Joe Biden's attempts to redefine the word.

The page was edited at least 47 times over 24 hours before Wikipedia administrators locked the page so that unregistered users could not change its contents until August. This restriction arrives as Biden administration officials attempt to avoid using the term to describe the current economy .

The online encyclopedia's administrators froze the webpage's edit feature due to a "persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content." The top of the webpage also notes that the recession webpage "may be affected by a current event."

Comment: If you ever needed any evidence that Wikipedia is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the official narrative, go no further.

More from New York Post:
Elon Musk slammed Wikipedia on Friday for "losing its objectivity" after the online encyclopedia blocked users from editing its "recession" page — prompting accusations that it was running interference for the Biden administration.

...

"Wikipedia is losing its objectivity," Musk tweeted.

Wikipedia blocked users from revising its "recession" page after visitors to the site engaged in a frantic editing war over the definition of the term, which is being disputed by the Biden administration following the latest economic data showing a drop in GDP.

One Wikipedia user known as "Soibangla" edited the "recession" page to remove reference to the standard definition of the term.

The user added a line that read: "There is no global consensus on the definition of a recession."
...

As of Friday morning, the page included a lock icon in the upper right corner indicating that it was placed in "semi-protection" mode whereby "unregistered users ... as well as accounts [that] are not confirmed or autoconfirmed" would not be able to make changes to the text.

"Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page," tweeted right-leaning social media personality Mike Cernovich.

"Can't make Biden look bad before the midterm elections!" tweeted another Twitter user.

The Whole World is a Banana Republic

Bill Holter
A few months back, precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter predicted the economy was going to tank, and today, the U.S. is officially in a recession. Holter says it's not just America buckling under enormous debt, but the entire world. Holter explains,
"This is only the start. They are trying to debate whether or not we are in a recession, but it's pretty much a lock. Yes, we are in a recession. And this is not just the U.S. This is a global problem. . . . Let me put his into perspective. If you add up all the global GDP's, we are roughly $100 trillion. The problem is there is well over $350 trillion in debt worldwide. . . . When I graduated college . . . anything above 100% debt to GDP was considered a banana republic. Look where we are today. Globally, it's 350% debt to GDP. What that tells me is the world is a banana republic."

Anti-junta protests in Guinea capital call for a return to elections

Guinea protest 2022
Protesters block roads and hurl rocks in Conakry, Guinea, on July 28, 2022, after authorities prevented supporters of the opposition party, National Front for the Defense of the Constitution (FNDC), from gathering in the streets for a peaceful march.
Protests against Guinea's junta and its handling of plans to return to democracy brought the capital to a standstill Thursday, with organizers saying one person was killed.

The protest, planned last week, began ahead of comments by the chair of a regional bloc who claimed to have persuaded the junta to shorten its timeline for a return to democracy. The junta has not confirmed his comments.

The National Front for the Defense of the Constitution (FNDC) said one person had died after being hit by a bullet in the Conakry suburb of Hamdallaye, while several others were injured.

Comment: Footage of the protests:
