Biden's border crisis rages on; TV news airtime down 94%

The crisis along the U.S. southern border is still terrible, and the liberal news media still don't care. According to the latest statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Security, there were 208,887 encounters along the southern border, only a slight decrease from a revised 213,534 reported in July, a 21-year record.

Yet broadcast evening news coverage in August was virtually nil: Just 6 minutes, 28 seconds on the Big Three during the entire month, including weekends. That's four minutes, 12 seconds on the NBC Nightly News; two minutes and 16 seconds on the CBS Evening News, and nothing — zero minutes and zero seconds — on ABC's World News Tonight in August.

This is barely unchanged from July, when those same newscasts spent just four minutes, 20 seconds on the border crisis, despite the worsening numbers.

Compared to March 2021, when even the liberal media were treating the influx of illegal immigrants as a crisis, evening news coverage has dropped 94 percent, while the actual number of border encounters has risen by more than 20 percent.

Comment: Despite the warnings, the complications, the travesties and implications for US residents, the downturned economy and a suffering job outlook, the Biden border crisis continues numbly on, virtually unabated:

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer will draft an ordinance that could soon mandate proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry into most of the city's indoor spaces.

Los Angeles County is set to put forward a new health order this week mandating proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for several situations and events.

As reported by Fox 11 Los Angeles:

"Los Angeles County is planning on issuing a new health officer order later this week that will require proof of vaccination for indoor bars, wineries, breweries, nightclubs and lounges. The order will also require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test for outdoor mega-events, including Dodgers, Rams and Chargers games, County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer told the Board of Supervisors Wednesday."

The order will also mandate that customers and workers at the indoor nightlife businesses have received at least one dose of the vaccine by October 7th, and their second shot by November 4th.

Comment: The LA resident push back against Newsom and the Covid protocols have defined a divide in public tolerance and awareness. Where it will go from here depends (once again) upon those jockeying for complete submission and control. Without consideration and nuance, California, a state in trouble on many counts, will further polarize and disintegrate.

Censorship: Amazon blocking ad for book investigating Black Lives Matter

A building burns on Aug. 24, 2020, during a riot following the police shooting of a black man who resisted arrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

"I wrote this book because most of the press refused to cover the important questions about the people and organizations behind Black Lives Matter," author Mike Gonzalez says. "Now Amazon is trying to limit how many Americans read this book."

Amazon this week blocked an advertisement for a new book on Black Lives Matter leaders, claiming content that "revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted."

BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution is the latest book by Mike Gonzalez, a former journalist who is a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, parent organization of The Daily Signal.

The Heritage Foundation, which attempted to buy the ad for Gonzalez's book, said Wednesday that Amazon, the nation's largest retailer, had blocked the ad from its website.

The rise of Maxime Bernier and the PPC's 'Purple Wave' in Canada

'Mad Max' as he's becoming known as, is leading the charge when it comes to speaking out against the tyrannical measures that the lockdowns have brought into Canada

As the federal election campaign heads into its last lap, the People's Party of Canada, led by Maxime Bernier, has been moving up in the polls. According to the latest Nanos numbers, PPC support has more than doubled during the campaign and sits at 5.0 per cent, while Bernier's support for preferred prime minister is at 5.5 per cent.

Yet, Bernier was not invited to any of the three leaders debates. By contrast, Green Party leader Annamie Paul was invited to the two official debates on September 8 and 9. As a technical matter, given the criteria set by the Leaders Debate Commission, the Greens qualified while the PPC did not. It is worth noting that the Greens sit at 4.2 per cent in the Nanos poll, with Paul polling lowest among all of the major party leaders at 1.7 per cent as preferred prime minister.

Comment: A surprisingly fair and balanced opinion piece on Maxine Bernier and the Peoples Party of Canada. As the only party who is against the mask mandates, lockdowns and vaccine passports, they are being demonized in the media or ignored - as you can see in the picture below - despite currently being tied for 4th in recent polls, ahead of the Green Party and even the Bloq Quebecois (the two candidates to your right) depending on which poll you are going by.

Texas Gov. Abbott shuts down border entries to stem illegal migrant 'caravans' 'overrunning our state'

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) shut down six ports of entry from Mexico into the United States to curb a surge in illegal migrants crossing over the border.

"The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning our state," Abbott said in a statement Thursday.

Abbott's drastic action came after drone footage captured by Fox News showed the number of migrants waiting for processing in Del Rio, Texas, doubled overnight from 4,200 to 8,000 people.

About time! MSM reports: "Our most reliable pandemic number is losing meaning"

At least 12,000 Americans have already died from COVID-19 this month, as the country inches through its latest surge in cases. But another worrying statistic is often cited to depict the dangers of this moment: The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States right now is as high as it has been since the beginning of February. It's even worse in certain places: Some states, including Arkansas and Oregon, recently saw their COVID hospitalizations rise to higher levels than at any prior stage of the pandemic. But how much do those latter figures really tell us?

From the start, COVID hospitalizations have served as a vital metric for tracking the risks posed by the disease. Last winter, this magazine described it as "the most reliable pandemic number," while Vox quoted the cardiologist Eric Topol as saying that it's "the best indicator of where we are." On the one hand, death counts offer finality, but they're a lagging signal and don't account for people who suffered from significant illness but survived. Case counts, on the other hand, depend on which and how many people happen to get tested. Presumably, hospitalization numbers provide a more stable and reliable gauge of the pandemic's true toll, in terms of severe disease. But a new, nationwide study of hospitalization records, released as a preprint today (and not yet formally peer reviewed), suggests that the meaning of this gauge can easily be misinterpreted — and that it has been shifting over time.

Comment: Daily reports of inflated case numbers have been used to terrorize the public into submission for two years. Unfortunately, it's too little too late to undo the damage that was done in the name of health and safety.

AOC hit with second ethics complaint over 'Tax The Rich' theatrics at the Met

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been hit with a second ethics complaint over her attendance at the elitist Met Gala on Monday evening while wearing a "tax the rich" dress.

According to the Daily Caller's Andrew Kerr, AOC may have violated 'a myriad of House ethics rules,' per a complaint by conservative watchdog group, the National Legal and Policy Center, which says that AOC's acceptance of free tickets to the event for herself and her boyfriend - which reportedly cost upwards of $35,000 - may have violated House Gift rules.

What's more, AOC received a prohibited gift from another attendee by sitting at a paid table during the event, rumored to have cost up to $300,000.

Caitlin Johnstone: Australia continues its plunge into authoritarianism and military brinkmanship

Australia has joined the US and UK in an "enhanced trilateral security partnership" called AUKUS with the unspoken-yet-obvious goal of coordinating escalations against China.

Antiwar reports: "President Biden and the leaders of Australia and the UK announced a new military agreement on Wednesday aimed at countering China. The pact, known as AUKUS, will focus on the sharing of sensitive military technologies, and the first initiative will focus on getting Australia nuclear-powered submarines."

US officials speaking to CNN described the effort to share nuclear propulsion with another country as an "exceedingly rare step" due to the sensitivity of the technology. "This technology is extremely sensitive. This is, frankly, an exception to our policy in many respects," one unnamed official said.

Seven possible causes of the next financial crisis

The great financial historian, Charles Kindleberger, pointed out in the 1970s that over several centuries, history showed there was a financial crisis about once every ten years. His observation still holds. In every decade since his classic Manias, Panics and Crashes of 1978, such crises have indeed continued to erupt in their turn, in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and again in 2020. What could cause the next crisis in this long, recurring series? I suggest seven possibilities:

1. What Nobody Sees Coming

A notable headline from 2017 was "Yellen: I Don't See a Financial Crisis Coming in Our Lifetimes." The then-head of the Federal Reserve was right that she didn't see it coming; nonetheless, well within her and our lifetimes, a new financial crisis arrived in 2020, from unexpected causes.

It has been well said that "The riskiest stuff is what you don't see coming." Especially risky is what you don't think is possible, but happens anyway.

About the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-09, a former Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve candidly observed: "Not only didn't we see it coming," but in the midst of it, "had trouble understanding what was happening." Similarly, "Central banks and regulators failed to see the bust coming, just as they failed to anticipate its potential magnitude," as another top central banking expert wrote.

The next financial crisis could be the same — we may take another blindside hit for a big financial sack.

In his memoir of the 2007-09 crisis, former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson wrote, "We had no choice but to fly by the seat of our pants, making it up as we went along." If the next financial crisis is again triggered by what we don't see coming, the government reactions will once again be flying by the seat of their pants, making it up as they go along.

Despite China fully vaccinating 71% of population, 91% of 12-17 year-olds, outbreaks still occurring, working on highly experimental mRNA injections

China has fully vaccinated more than one billion people against the coronavirus -- 71 per cent of its population -- official figures showed Thursday.

The country where the virus was first detected has mostly curbed the virus within its borders but is racing to get the vast majority of its population vaccinated as a new outbreak flickers in the southeast.

Comment: Covid-19 was detected in numerous places on the planet, not just China, and well before any 'official' declaration was made; for more on its likely origins, see: Compelling Evidence That SARS-CoV-2 Was Man-Made

"As of September 15, 2.16 billion vaccine doses have been administered nationwide," said National Health Commission spokesman Mi Feng at a press briefing.

Comment: Why would China want to experiment with mRNA vaccines when there's a wealth of evidence that they're already proving to be ineffective, dangerous, and in some cases, deadly? The Inanity of RNA Vaccines For COVID-19

RT reports on that China has injected much of its over 12s, but it has not yet been targeting its children under 12:

Just over 90% of students in China aged 12-17 have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, state media has revealed. Despite the high inoculation rate, the Ministry of Education has urged caution in schools over the virus.

On Wednesday, People's Daily shared that the two-dose vaccination rate of teachers and students over 18 years old stands at 95%, slightly higher than the rate among younger pupils.

Despite the wide vaccine coverage among China's school children, the Ministry of Education has issued a notice imploring institutes and schools to make Covid prevention and control a top priority.

The statement came after China's National Health Commission warned that coronavirus infections were circulating at a primary school in Putian, a city home to three million in East China's Fujian Province. The region has recorded over 150 local cases in five days, prompting some cities in other parts of the country to impose travel warnings before major holidays.

This photo taken on August 21, 2021 shows high school students queueing to receive the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine in Nanjing.
A number of cities in Fujian province, such as Quanzhou and Fuzhou, have decided to suspend primary schools and kindergartens, with others switching classes to online learning.

The Chinese government has manufactured and authorized several of its own Covid jabs. While two of the main domestically produced vaccines have been given the green light for administration to children as young as three, authorities have yet to expand the inoculation campaign to the under-12s.

It's common knowledge by now that the vast majority of the population - especially young people - do not need an injection for the relatively harmless coronavirus.

Several regions across China started vaccinating its teenagers against Covid in July, including the capital Beijing.

Figures from the National Health Commission showed that China has so far managed to administer close to 2.16 billion vaccine doses.

The above shows that even 'successful' mass injection campaigns, targeted, local lockdowns, and the various other draconian measures, do not achieve what they set out to do:
