Oz odds of winning PA Senate seat soar after historic Fetterman debate meltdown

The Fetterman campaign may have just watched what remained of its prospects in Pennsylvania circle the drain after tonight's sole debate between him and PA Senate candidate Dr. Oz.

Fetterman, who suffered a severe stroke days before the May primary and cast his vote from a hospital bed, appeared unable to put together nearly a single coherent sentence throughout the entire debate while TV veteran Dr. Oz deftly and "surgically" sliced and diced his way through an hour of questioning, using Fetterman as a lifeless sparring dummy for a majority of the debate.

Recovering from his stroke, Fetterman's answers ranged between somewhat inept and completely incomprehensible. The ugly performance started right from the beginning, with Fetterman bidding viewers "good night" as part of his opening statement.

Comment: Twitter has been excoriating Fetterman's wife, Gisele, who appears to be taking a page from Jill Biden's playbook. Power and position regardless of the cost.

Judge strikes down COVID vaccine mandate for police union, orders New York City to reinstate unvaccinated police officers

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge on Friday overturned the city's vaccine mandate for the New York Police Benevolent Association and said members who lost their jobs for being unvaccinated should be reinstated.

The city filed an immediate notice of appeal after the bombshell ruling, meaning the judge's ruling is frozen and cannot be enforced until the appeal is heard, CBS2's Marcia Kramer reported.

"It is at odds with every other court decision upholding the mandate as a condition of employment," said a spokesperson for the New York City Law Department.

Still, it was a victory for New York City cops who, for various reasons, didn't want to get the COVID vaccine.

The woke mob crosses the streams

The climax of the hit movie Ghostbusters was when the protagonists finally decided to "cross the streams" of their proton packs to defeat the final ghost, the Stay Puft marshmallow man.

In the context of the movie, it was an unthinkable action - viewers were warned early on that that "crossing the streams" of the unlicensed nuclear accelerators they were wearing on their backs would prompt an apocalypse-style event called "total protonic reversal", which would be, for lack of a better word, "bad".

California laws will create 'ideological purity test' for police by banning ties to 'hate' and 'bias', critics say

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has signed two bills into law that will limit who is eligible to become a peace officer, even as many cities across the Golden State struggle with police shortages. Critics say the new laws will create an "ideological purity test," preventing some conservatives and Christians from joining already-strapped police forces.

Newsom on Sept. 30 signed AB 655, which bars Californians who previously had been members of a "hate group" or involved in "hate group activity" (in the past seven years) from police service. It remains unclear when the law will go into effect.

The governor also signed AB 2229, which requires applicants to be screened for "bias" before they can join a police force. The "bias" requirement had been enacted previously in 2020, but mistakenly was stricken from the law in 2021, according to a legislative analysis. According to the law's text, it went into effect immediately upon signing.

Although AB 655 uses a strict definition for the term "hate group" tied directly to "genocide," critics note that the new law also requires agencies to investigate
"a complaint made by the public that alleges, as specified, that a peace officer engaged in membership in a hate group, participation in any hate group activity, or advocacy of public expressions of hate."
The Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, has branded mainstream conservative and Christian organizations as "hate groups" and put them on a list with the likes of the Ku Klux Klan, often for reasons that amount to ideological disagreement. (The SPLC did not respond to The Daily Signal's request for comment.)

Comment: The countdown to '1984'? For every action there is a reaction. It shall come.

The U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus has withdrawn a letter to the White House urging a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine.

The letter, signed by 30 members of the caucus, urged President Joe Biden to "pursue direct diplomacy" with Russia to seek a negotiated settlement to end the war. The letter became public on October 24.

The letter held out the possibility of sanctions relief for Russia and a potential new European security framework with guarantees for all sides. It said funding for weapons that Congress has approved for Ukraine created a "responsibility for the United States to seriously explore all possible avenues."

The chairwoman of the caucus, Representative Pramila Jayapal (Democrat-Washington), said in a statement on October 25 that the letter was drafted several months ago but was "released by staff without vetting."

Jayapal said she accepted responsibility.

The employees of Twitter have made a list of demands for their new boss who is scheduled to take over the company on Friday.

Less than a week ago it was reported that Elon Musk was preparing to fire around 75% of the employees at Twitter after he takes over the company.

In response to Musk's plans for firing the bulk of the far-left workforce, the Twitter team released a list of demands for current and future leadership.

Comment: Think what you will of Elon Musk, he didn't get to where he is without creativity and drive. The entitled toddlers who make up the bulk of Twitter's staff are likely in for a rude surprise when the same is demanded from them.

This should be interesting: Elon Musk plans to lay off nearly 75% of Twitter employees

New York judge rules voting by mail due to COVID fears is unconstitutional

A judge in New York ruled that voting by mail over fears of the coronavirus is unconstitutional.

The Democrat-controlled legislature "appears poised to continue the expanded absentee voting provisions of New York State Election Law ... in an Orwellian perpetual state of health emergency and cloaked in the veneer of 'voter enfranchisement,'" Saratoga County Supreme Court Justice Dianne Freestone, a Republican, wrote in her ruling Friday.

The 28-page ruling ordered local election boards to stop counting absentee ballots they've already received and to "preserve" them until after Election Day on Nov. 8 or after the resolution of a lawsuit filed by Republicans in the state. The ruling does not invalidate ballots that have already been mailed.

Comment: Voter rolls should be purged of all names of those who have moved out of state, deceased, and non-citizens. Voting should be done in person, with proper identification including proof of citizenship.

19 attorneys general announce investigation into six Wall Street firms over ESG investing

Nineteen Republican attorneys general announced an investigation into six Wall Street firms regarding their involvement with the United Nations Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

The nineteen attorneys general served Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo with civil investigative demands, which reportedly act as a subpoena, asking for documents relating to the companies' involvement with the United Nations (UN) Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

Members of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance must set emission reduction targets in their lending and investment portfolios to reach net zero by 2050.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt have led the effort to investigate these financial conglomerates.

Comment: Good on these attorney generals - for not only seeing how these banks are facilitating these destructive globalist policies - but for actually taking some action to neutralize them. Yes, its a drop in the bucket in the push back against such elite-driven directives, but actions and stories like these are helping the spread in awareness of agendas that seek to destroy economic and societal stability on a massive scale.

In 'neutral' countries, many blame the West for the war in Ukraine

NATO
In the U.S., North West Europe and the rest of the English-speaking world, people overwhelmingly blame Russia for the war in Ukraine. Which you might say is not surprising.

Yet surveys show that public opinion elsewhere is much more divided. As I noted in a Substack article back in June, there are even countries in Europe where a large percentage of people blame the war on the U.S. or NATO.

These include Russia's traditional ally Serbia, three other Orthodox Christian countries (Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria) and two countries that are heavily dependent on Russian energy (Slovakia and Hungary).

US nitrogen exports jump as Europe scrambles for fertilizer, UN warns of 'future shortage crisis'

U.S. exports of nitrogen fertilizers jumped to a multi-year high this summer after surging natural gas prices in Europe drove up costs of producing the crop nutrient there, making U.S. shipments more competitive.

The brisk U.S. sales highlight the far-reaching effect of the war in Ukraine on global food and energy supplies. Russia, under financial sanctions, is a major producer of fertilizer and natural gas, key in making nitrogen products to boost yields of corn and other crops.

Since Russia's February invasion of Ukraine, Europe started weaning itself off Russian natural gas and a pipeline transporting ammonia from Russia to a Ukraine port shut down.

Comment: It may be that Brazil has had to find other sources because Russia has stated there are some products and produce that it will only export once it has accounted for the needs of its own citizens.
