"The American 'Left' is fully exposed now as a demented, vicious, abusive animal of traumatizing narcissism."
— Celia Farber
Do you hear that lonesome whistle blow? Wooooo-wooooo! It's the last train to Palookaville pulling into the station. At this late hour, two passengers get on: Kamala Harris, mom jeans and blazer, rheumy red eyes, half-gone on chardonnay. . . and an elderly gentleman with a goatee in a colorful but shabby red-white-and-blue suit, famous long ago as "Uncle Sam."

There's an election on, in case you haven't noticed, imminent even. Kamala, everyone seems to agree, has blown it. Can't answer simple questions pitched by friendly ringers in the "news" business. Hiding somebody else's agenda is a tough assignment, you see. All she can really do is cackle or simper and, let's face it, that gets humiliating fast. Joy has turned to despair. Her punched ticket says "one way."

'Election interference of the highest form'

Facebook permanently disabled the account of retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn without warning Thursday, just a few weeks before Election Day.

Flynn, a prominent voice in conservatism, served as the national security advisor under President Donald Trump's administration.

Flynn is also a frequent contributor to The Western Journal.

In comments sent exclusively to The Western Journal, Flynn responded to the ban.

Best of the Web: Woke doc refuses to publish $10 million trans kids study that showed puberty blockers didn't help mental health

A prominent doctor and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients' mental health.

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be "weaponized" by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue "we shouldn't use blockers."

Critics — including one of Olson-Kennedy's fellow researchers on the study — said the decision flies in the face of research standards and deprives the public of "really important" science in a field where Americans remain firmly divided.

BART workers fired due to COVID vaccine mandate to get over $1M each, federal jury decides

A federal jury has sided with fired BART [ed-Bay Area Rapid Transit] workers who sued the agency claiming they lost their jobs over a COVID vaccine mandate.

There are six of them total in the lawsuit and each will receive more than $1 million.

The employees claimed religious exemptions to the vaccine mandate but say they were not accommodated by the transit agency, and subsequently lost their job.

Comment: NBC News reports further:
On October 14, 2021, BART issued a policy requiring all employees to be fully vaccinated against Covid as a condition of employment, the suit said.

Between then and February 2022, about 179 employees submitted requests for religious exemptions, and 70 were approved, the suit said. But none of the 70 who received an exemption were granted an accommodation, the suit said.

However, one in three BART employees seeking medical exemptions were granted an accommodation, according to the suit.

The employees who sought religious exemptions followed by an accommodation who ultimately denied the vaccine were either fired, forced to resign or retired, the lawsuit said.

American Hitler or stopping World War Three... the illusory choice for U.S. voters

The tight U.S. presidential race heads into the final lap with less than two weeks until election day on November 5. It's too close to call who will emerge as the winning candidate, whether Kamala Harris for the Democratic ticket or Republican Donald Trump.

With the candidates neck and neck, a sliver of undecided voters in a handful of states will decide the result. Both parties are making a frenetic push to win those pivotal votes. With that frenetic atmosphere comes some feverish rhetoric.

Ultimately, though, it's a meaningless clown show.

American "democracy" is offering a bizarre choice. On the one hand, Trump, we are told, is the man to prevent World War Three and nuclear armageddon. That is the latest spin from Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F Kennedy Jr, both former presidential candidates who defected from the Democratic camp.

On the other hand, Trump is assailed with potentially damaging warnings from former top aides that he is a "Hitler admirer" and "a fascist to the core." John Kelly, who served as Trump's Chief of Staff during his presidency (2016-2020), gave interviews to the New York Times and the Atlantic this week in which he claimed that The Donald was a big fan of the Führer and pined to have Nazi Wehrmacht Generals in charge of the U.S. military.

Those lurid claims tally with another former senior Trump aide, General Mark Milley, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Milley is quoted in a new book by veteran Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, describing Trump as a "fascist to the core" and the "greatest threat to our democracy."

Other former senior Republican figures have also rallied against Trump with dire predictions that he is seeking to impose a dictatorship. Trump has not helped quell such concerns with his own comments about how he would like to use the U.S. military to go after political opponents.

What a crazy quandary presented before voters. Vote for Trump to stop World War Three, or if you vote for Trump, then you are voting for Hitler reincarnated.

The siren call for a militarized response to the rise of vaccine hesitancy

vaccine culture war
Public opinion surveys and polls all say the same thing. More Americans are doubtful that getting vaccinated over and over and over again is a reliable way to stay healthy. Especially since the extreme response by governments to the World Health Organization's coronavirus pandemic declaration in 2020, more adults have lost trust in doctors and public health officials. Some have either personally experienced a COVID-19 shot reaction or know someone who has died suddenly or is suffering with chronic poor health problems after getting the shot. 1 Others can't forget being fired from their job or being denied medical care or a school education for refusing to get a COVID shot, while others are still unable to access social media accounts that were suspended for simply talking about COVID shot reactions. 2 3 And now, just about everybody knows that mRNA COVID shots don't prevent infection and transmission of the disease. 4 5

These negative experiences have prompted a growing number of Americans to question whether they or their children really need to get a flu shot every year or need many other government-recommended vaccines.6 7 8 9 10

U.S. taxpayers gave Wuhan lab collaborator $262 million; now he's hiding the data

wuhan virology
Wuhan Institute of Virology is a research institute by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Jiangxia District, south of the Wuhan city, Hubei province, China.
A judge in North Carolina has rejected a Freedom of Information (FOIA) claim for documents which almost certainly contain crucial evidence about the origin of Covid. The case was brought by the transparency group U.S. Right to Know. The target of the request was the world's most renowned expert on coronaviruses and godfather of gain-of-function experiments, Ralph Baric, who runs the Baric lab at the University of North Carolina (UNC).

Baric is the brains behind the 2018 DEFUSE blueprint for making Covid-like viruses in the lab. The blueprint was designed in collaboration with Shi Zhengli, the Director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, at whose lab some of the work was to have been done. DEFUSE was not the first project on which Shi and Baric worked together. In 2015, they created SARS viruses in a lab that could infect humans. At the time, Rutgers biologist Richard Ebright warned that the Shi-Baric experiments would cause a worldwide pandemic. He was sadly proven right.

While Shi and her laboratory have garnered significant attention, Baric has largely remained under the radar. This may be understandable, given that Shi's lab is situated in the city where the pandemic originated; however, it is somewhat counterintuitive when one considers the availability of evidence. On September 12, 2019, shortly before the outbreak began in Wuhan, Shi's lab deleted its entire virus database. Although this action is incriminating, the likelihood of obtaining any data from China has always been virtually nonexistent. In contrast, for Baric, who falls under U.S. jurisdiction, the prospects of acquiring information should have been nearly certain — unless he was being shielded from scrutiny.

RFK Jr. becomes America's first major political voice to condemn Biden-Harris regime's ominous Federal Directive 5240.01

rfk jr. speech
So far, it's been mostly crickets from the national media and national political figures

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tread where apparently no other politician dares to go yesterday during a political rally in Georgia.

RFK condemned the Biden-Harris administration's shameful Defense Department directive to expand the U.S. military's authority to participate in domestic law enforcement, up to and including the use of lethal force against American citizens on American soil.

We're talking about Federal Directive 5240.01, issued September 27 by U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. This directive has been sitting out there for nearly a month now and we haven't heard a peep out of the national media or the nation's top national political figures. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, or see it, or speak about it, did it really fall? I was beginning to wonder.

But no need to wonder any longer as RFK Jr. has broken the silence and dared to address the 2,000-pound elephant in the room — the U.S. military and its bold new stance toward American citizens. They will shoot us, they say. According to the new federal directive, all it takes is some kind of vague "civil disturbance" and an "invitation" from local, state or federal civilian law enforcement.

Comment: The timing of this new directive is interesting considering the possible fallout from another not-so-honest presidential election process:
Why Timing Matters: Implications for the 2024 Elections

The timing of this update--just six weeks before the election--raises concerns. With debates surrounding election integrity, civil unrest, and political manipulation, the expanded powers granted by the directive could lead to military intervention in domestic affairs if civil unrest arises.

Adding to the concern is the Department of Homeland Security's recent expansion of what constitutes domestic terrorism. The DHS has flagged individuals questioning COVID-19 origins, vaccine efficacy, or election integrity as potential threats.

Israeli military demands fallen soldier's family remove cross from gravestone

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has threatened to rebury a fallen Christian soldier unless his family agrees to remove a cross from his gravestone, the man's relatives have told local media. David Bogdanovsky moved to Israel from Ukraine in 2014 and was killed by an anti-tank rocket in Gaza last December.

Bogdanovsky's family told the media on Monday that they had received a letter from the Defense Ministry demanding that they remove the cross or have the staff sergeant's remains reinterred outside the Haifa military cemetery.

"By law, it is not permissible to place a cross or any other religious marker on a military headstone," the ministry said. The letter reportedly cited a ruling by the IDF's chief rabbi saying the holiness of the Jewish cemetery is violated by the presence of a cross.


Comment: What kind of twisted religion sees the cross as a violation?


Military officials also reportedly claimed that they had received complaints from "families whose loved ones are buried nearby [and] who claim that the cross hurts their feelings and their ability to pray."


Comment: Imagine if these people had to deal with real problems, like having their land stolen and their families killed simply because of where they lived. God forbid they have to look at a cross!
