Amazon closed out 2024 with more than 20,000 electric delivery vans manufactured by Rivian in its fleet nationwide. The e-commerce giant highlights on its website that the electric vans are part of its "urgent" climate change initiative to "remove carbon emissions from transportation systems."

However, Amazon faces mounting criticism for gaslighting the public about its net zero goals and actual operational fleet practices.

Take, for instance, Amazon's website. Within the Sustainability section, the company laid out its approach to fight so-called global warming:
"To reach this target, we're also expanding the use of zero-emission transportation such as electric delivery vans, cargo e-bikes, and on-foot deliveries, and we engage in industry initiatives to remove carbon emissions from transportation systems like ocean shipping, aviation, and trucking. We're also using innovative construction techniques and building materials to make our fulfillment centers, data centers, offices, and physical retail locations more sustainable."

Two House Democrats have voted alongside Republican lawmakers to ban athletes born male from participating on girls' school sports teams.

The Protection of Women and Girls In Sports Act, led by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., would amend federal law to specify that student athletes must participate in school sports teams that coincide with their gender at birth.

Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Vicente Gonzales, D-Texas, were the lone Democrats to vote for the bill when it passed 218 to 206. Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., voted "present."

All three won re-election on razor-thin margins in districts that have trended redder over the years.

Senate Republicans have already signaled they are aiming to take up the bill soon.

A Texas-based US Army soldier has been arrested and charged with selling confidential phone records, including material allegedly stolen from President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Cameron John Wagenius, 20, was indicted by a Seattle grand jury earlier this month on two felony counts of unlawfully transferring confidential phone records information on an online forum and on an online communications platform.

Wagenius is a soldier at Fort Cavazos — formerly Fort Hood — in Killeen, Texas.

An online handle associated with Wagenius has allegedly been linked to several high-profile cyber crimes, which are not detailed in the indictment.

Comment: This was originally blamed on China, in another case of anti-China rhetoric from Washington. Now that it's been shown China had no involvement, don't expect a mea culpa from the Dem sources.

Politicians never shy away from using a tragedy for personal gain. Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Elizabeth Warren have been caught stealing donations intended for California wildfire victims and funneling them back into their Democrat Super PACs.

Newsom created a website to combat "misinformation," another term for controlling the narrative, called CaliforniaFireFacts.com that redirects to the governor's own website. Concerned citizens are encouraged to donate to the wildfire victims through Campaign for Democracy: "Your donation will go directly towards supporting the firefighters and the communities they serve, including direct financial support to impacted residents."

One would assume that the donations would go directly to the people of California who lost everything. Think again. Who is processing these donations? ActBlue Carities, Inc., a 501 tax-exempt organization that is a political Super PAC for Democratic political candidates.

Best of the Web: Black Death: The next global pandemic - or manufactured tool for depopulation and control in the West?

© ShutterstockThe deadliest pandemic in the world – the Black Death – killed at least a third of Europe’s population at the time.
More than 700 years since the Black Death pandemic, scientists are developing a bubonic plague jab - but why? And should we be worried?

Back in 2020, the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the world. Entire countries were plunged into lockdowns and millions were impacted in innumerable ways.

Scientists raced to find a vaccine, heralded to help - and it did, protecting those who took it from increased risks of becoming seriously ill from the virus, and helping to halt its overwhelming spread on a global scale.


Comment: The sentence above tells us just how clueless the author of this article really is.


Now, almost half a decade on since a vaccine was created for COVID-19, scientists behind the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab are busy developing another vaccine, this time for a disease whose pandemic last devastated the world more than 700 years ago: the bubonic plague.


Comment: So the same "scientists" who gave us the useless and dangerous jab for Covid-19 are supposedly developing a vaccine for bubonic plague. And what - we're meant to be reassured??


Comment: We are not reassured. Far from it. We are concerned.

Newly appointed Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol has reportedly reversed a seven-year policy that allowed the general public to use store bathrooms without making a purchase. The policy had resulted in widespread drug use at certain store locations, particularly in lawless, Democrat-controlled cities.

The Wall Street Journal obtained a copy of a memo sent to employees outlining the new code of conduct being rolled out across stores in North America.

"There is a need to reset expectations for how our spaces should be used and who uses them," Starbucks North America President Sara Trilling said in the memo.

The updated policies also include adding signs prohibiting harassment, violence, threatening language, outside alcohol, smoking, and panhandling in its stores.

Comment: Comment: Now if Niccol would back off its DEI policies and stop supporting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, he might have a chance at saving the company.

Three Algerian TikTok influencers arrested in France on charges of inciting violence

Three Algerian men have been arrested in France following allegations they published posts inciting violence on social media platform TikTok. The arrests come amid strained relations between France and its former colony, in the wake of the arrest of French-Algerian novelist Boualem Sansal, and France's support of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.

French authorities on Sunday held three Algerians suspected of inciting violence in TikTok videos, with at least two of them facing terror-related charges. The arrests come amid growing political tensions between Paris and its former North African colony.

A video blogger known as "Imad Tintin" was arrested Friday outside Grenoble after publishing a video urging followers to "burn alive, kill and rape on French territory". The post was taken down after receiving 800,000 views but hardline right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau published a video grab on his social media accounts, condemning the publication as "vile".

A judge on Sunday placed the 31-year-old blogger under judicial supervision, Grenoble prosecutors said.

On December 31, 2024, the world received a year-end parting gift from the good folks at NIAID, Anthony Fauci's old fiefdom at the National Institutes of Health. NIAID - the same unaccountable and secretive agency that Fauci used to fund the gain-of-function research of Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill and the Bat Lady in Wuhan that resulted in Covid - has a new director, one Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo.

Marrazzo and another NIAID colleague, Dr. Michael G. Ison, wrote a year-end editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine that accompanies a research paper on recent H5N1 Bird flu cases in the United States, as well as a case report of a lone case of severe illness associated with Bird flu in British Columbia.

Marrazzo and Ison summarize the findings of the research paper and case report as follows:
Investigators now report in the Journal a series of human cases from the United States and Canada. The former series involves 46 case patients with generally mild, self-limited infection with [Influenza type] A(H5N1): 20 with exposure to poultry, 25 with exposure to dairy cows, and 1 with undefined exposure....Most case patients presented with conjunctivitis, almost half with fever, and a minority with mild respiratory symptoms, and all recovered. The only hospitalization occurred in the case patient with undefined exposure, although hospitalization was not for respiratory illness.

'Lifeline': Big move to protect cash

Some 1.5 million Australians prefer using cash to digital payments, and in some remote parts of the vast continent, it is the only viable option.

Currently, there are no legal requirements for businesses to accept cash if they have another option that does not slap customers with a fee.

The Treasury announced late on Sunday that the government was looking to mandate that businesses accept cash for "essential items".

"People are increasingly using digital payment methods, but there is an ongoing place for cash in our society under the Albanese government," Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said in a statement.

Comment: While the move to protect the use of cash is good, we'll have to see how long these efforts can last in the face of the Globalist West's agenda to have everyone tied to a social credit-based central bank digital currency...
