The Biden administration is privately pushing Arizona leaders to take down its temporary wall along the Mexican border with the promise that the federal government will install a new temporary barrier sometime in 2023, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Republican Gov. Doug Ducey 's spokesman told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday evening that Washington's latest proposal in the fight over securing the border in western Arizona is not something the state will even consider.

Ducey's communications director, C.J. Karamargin, in a call Wednesday evening, said:
"The suggestion by any federal bureaucracy, that we take action to make the border easier to cross, is completely unacceptable. Gov. Ducey takes the responsibility to protect Arizona very seriously — that's why we put up these containers. What they're suggesting, that we take them down and make Arizona less safe, is a nonstarter."
The outright refusal on Arizona's part is the latest move in a game of chess between state and federal officials over border security, a matter that is the responsibility of the federal government.

Comment: The whole Biden administration needs a shipping container!

A team of cyber detectives has produced a 630-page report detailing the findings of a year-long investigation into the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop which they say contains 459 violations of state and federal laws and regulations, according to The Daily Wire.

Marco Polo, a nonprofit research group founded by Garrett Ziegler to expose corruption and blackmail, performed an in-depth exploration of the laptop that President Biden's son left at a Delaware repair store in 2019.

The report produced by Ziegler's team weighs in at a whopping 1 gigabyte because of the large number of screenshots taken from the laptop.

Defence is investigating whether RAAF pilots have been enticed to help train China's military.
Australia is following the United Kingdom by investigating whether retired defence pilots have been lured with lucrative contracts to help train the Chinese military in air warfare.

Britain's Ministry of Defence has announced it is taking immediate steps to "deter and penalise" UK personnel who work for the People's Liberation Army (PLA), following revelations dozens of former RAF pilots are being paid as instructors in China.

A spokesperson from the British Ministry of Defence said the training and the recruiting of pilots did not breach any current UK law but officials there and in other countries were trying to deter the activity.

Millions of British households are being forced to skip meals or buy cheaper food due to the rising cost of basic products, a consumer watchdog group has said, citing a new poll.

More than eight in 10 people in the UK (85%) are changing their eating habits in response to the rising cost of living, consumer champion Which? said on Thursday. The most popular way of coping with inflation is to seek promotional offers, which is what more than half (55%) of the respondents reported doing.

A total of 50% said they were switching to cheaper products that they didn't buy previously. Around one in five said they had started buying more frozen (18%) and microwave-ready (5%) foods to reduce their grocery bills, they explained.

Of those who said they were in a very difficult financial position, almost all (99%) said they were saving money on food in some way, while half (50%) reported skipping some meals altogether. The same was true for over a quarter (26%) of those who described their financial situation as "quite difficult," and for 12% of all people surveyed.

Comment: It unfortunately comes as no surprise that some are having to simply go without in order to make ends meet with food banks in the UK having to ration their supplies.

New Zealand farmers took to the streets across the country in their tractors on Thursday to denounce Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's scheme to tax "agricultural emissions," including cow farts and burps. They argued that not only would the added costs put them out of business, they would increase - not reduce - greenhouse gas emissions.

Farmers' advocacy group Groundswell New Zealand organized the protests in over 50 towns and cities, some filling the streets with dozens of tractors. "Several hundred to a few thousand people" were predicted to join in, though media reports claimed turnout was underwhelming.

Farmers at the protest argued the tax would not only drive them out of business but ultimately increase emissions by forcing farmers in other countries with less efficient practices to take up the slack. They pointed out that the tax does not take into account the trees and bushes farmers plant on their land, which take carbon out of the atmosphere. Some said they would refuse to pay it.

Child drag queen
Controversy has erupted after a pub in Eugene, Ore. announced it is hosting a drag queen event featuring an 11-year-old child. An investigation by The Post Millennial has revealed that one of the child's "drag moms" was recently charged with child sex abuse offenses.

"Are you excited for drag queen story time brunch this Sunday morning?" Old Nick's Pub asked in a Facebook announcement. "Vanellope is here to show you what a 11 year old drag queen can do." The post featured several photos of "Vanellope Craving MacPherson DuPont," the stage name of the child, including one where she is touching her chest and her mouth is open. The Post Millennial is not publishing the real name of the child.

Comment: "Drag" is a ripe environment for sexual predators to gain access to children, and this trend is unfortunately becoming all too common. For more information see the following:

Feces-plagued US city to spend $1.7 million on one public toilet

San Francisco has announced plans to spend nearly four times the cost of a typical US home to construct a single water closet.

San Francisco's local government expects to spend up to $1.7 million to build just one public toilet - hardly a drop in the bucket for a city that gets thousands of complaints annually of feces on its sidewalks - and the project will take an estimated three years to complete.

City leaders were scheduled to gather on Wednesday afternoon at Noe Valley Town Square to tout their success in obtaining state funding for the pricey toilet, according to a public notice for the event. The facility will reportedly be just 150 square feet in size and won't be ready for use until 2025, if all goes according to plans.

Stacey Abrams floats abortion as an inflation fix: 'Having children is why you're worried' about rising prices

Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, floated abortion as a solution to voters' concerns about inflation on Wednesday, explaining to Morning Joe viewers that "having children is why you're worried about your price for gas, it's why you're concerned about how much food costs."

Abrams, who lost the 2018 gubernatorial election to incumbent Republican Brian Kemp, was responding to a question about what she would do to address inflation.

"While abortion is an issue, it nowhere near reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk... what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they're confronted with?" Abrams was asked.

Comment: What a mind-numbingly stupid thing to say. How does she think this is going to resonate with voters? The Dems clearly think that abortion is the answer to everything. Give this woman a Nobel Peace Prize!

Facing down protesters at a New York City townhall meeting for the second time in the span of a week, US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked her angry critics by smirking and pretending to dance to the cadence of their chant.

The latest confrontation with voters occurred on Wednesday evening in the city's Queens borough, where Ocasio-Cortez held a townhall event to bolster support from her constituents heading into next month's congressional midterm elections. A video clip from the meeting shows protesters holding up signs and chanting "AOC has to go" to the beat of a drum.

Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, sat on a stage behind the podium as the protesters shouted. She responded by swaying and shaking her shoulders and arms in mock dance moves while sticking out her tongue, then smiled and drank from a bottle of water.

Comment: More footage from the event:

Malone: Childhood Vaccines Schedule - The ACIP vote and what this means

CDC corruption
So today, the ACIP panel voted unanimously 15-0 for the CDC to recommend that children get the COVID-19 "vaccines and boosters." The decision from the agency's advisory committee (ACIP) also adds the Covid-19 shot to the public health agency's Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program. This allows them to do automatic purchasing, bypassing Congressional budgets.

The actual vote to add this experimental COVID-19 mRNA injection to the childhood vaccination schedule is tomorrow.

Important to recognize that this is a work-around because Congress is not funding more jabs into arms. If this product is put on the childhood schedule, Congress does not have a say in the funding. Furthermore, if the EUA vanishes, then the liability of the companies would continue under the childhood schedule. This is corruption.

I honestly didn't think the ACIP would "go there." For one, this is still an unlicensed product. I am still not sure a EUA vaccine product can be added to the schedule. I don't believe it has ever been done before.

Comment: See: CDC "highly likely" to add COVID-19 vaccines to childhood immunisation schedule in move that would indefinitely extend manufacturers' protection from liability
