Bombshell Report: Cover-Up and Disturbing Info About Agent in Charge During Assassination Attempt – RedState
thumbnail

Hawley said the pattern that was emerging from whistleblowers was that the rally that day was "undermanned, understaffed, they did not have people who had experience on it."

"The fact that the director will not level with the American people about what's going here is just totally unacceptable and unbelievable," Hawley declared. //

On top of what he said they were telling him from the internal Secret Service investigation, the DHS was telling them not to comply with document requests to Congress. That's incredibly problematic, and if that's true, anyone involved in that needs to be held accountable and further exposed. //

But it raises the question: What do they think those documents will reveal? And is that problem they don't want Congress to know about still continuing? Could it still expose Trump and other Secret Service protectees to further danger?

ChiCom Spy, Who Was Former CIA Officer, Sold US Secrets for Cash... and Golf Clubs – RedState
thumbnail

Selling out your country for money is pretty low. Selling secrets to the enemy, with the knowledge that you are sending someone to their death, is the worst kind of spy. Robert Hanssen was that type of spy. Hanssen, an FBI agent who, from 1979 to 2001, fed information to his Soviet handlers that netted him over $600,000 in cash and $50,000 worth of diamonds. The information that he sold costs lives. Spies in the Soviet Block were outed and subsequently executed. The CIA and the FBI knew there was a mole, but Hanssen escaped detection for years. At one point he typed in his name on the FBI mainframe computer to see if he was under suspicion. Apparently, that wasn't suspicious. //

Ames and Hanssen combined to compromise the identities of hundreds of human assets, most notably Gen. Dmitri Polyakov. Polyakov was the head of Soviet Intelligence. He was fingered by Hanssen and Ames. Polyakov was arrested and executed.

Most recently, we have seen an increase in spies, and spying for China. Fang Fang, Eric Swalwell's alleged side-chick was (and still is?) a Chinese spy. He claims he didn’t know of her spying, and offered no information for her affections. Kathy Hochul, the nasally governor of New York, had a spy working under her nose. //

Diane Feinstein had a spy who loved her. Her longtime driver was a longtime Chinese spy. //

On Wednesday, another Chinese spy was sentenced. The New York Times reported that:

Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, 71, of Honolulu, was arrested and charged in August 2020 after he admitted to an undercover F.BI. employee, who had hired him as part of a ruse to investigate him, that he had used his security clearance to help get the protected information to the Shanghai State Security Bureau of the People’s Republic of China

"This stuff cost too much to make. We need to recoup our investment. Screw logic, let's have actual Human Beings Beta-test this shit."

Isn't that the long and short of it?

I worked in Human Blood and Plasma manufacturing. I assisted in the processing of all that "donated" blood plasma. Also worked in R&D with Hemoglobin.
We had a whole testing facility, detached from the main factory by about a football field. Sterile, albino Rabbits were bred especially for testing. By "sterile" I mean they were raised in a 100% sterile environment, no viruses or bacteria. Each rabbit was injected from a separate lot of product to determine whether or not it would cause a fever in the rabbit.

Therein lies the "test". Mandated by THE FDA!
Used all caps there so the readers from PETA could grab a Kleenex.

They seldom die. But alas, they cannot be given away as pets. Besides the obvious ambulance chasing theory, there's this. They have no antibodies, to anything. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Like AIDS in Rabbits, only more accurately BFZI (Bred for zero immunity). This means they would last a week maybe, in the real world.
I'm going in to all this, because I loved your explanation Ward. Thought I'd add a direct example here.
In those days employees could sign up for tours of our "animal facility". The explanation I just gave was pretty much from the mouth of the Department Manager, who was leading the tour. This was the late 1980s. A biological "She" manager who knew her stuff, and showed real affection towards them critters.

Quiet Part Out Loud? ABC Debate Co-Moderator Makes Eye-Opening Admission on Why They Fact-Checked Trump – RedState

said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race.

“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis said.

Davis as much as admitted she had been planning all along to enter the debate on Harris’s side and provide the rebuttal that she didn’t think Harris (like Biden) would be capable of making. Davis must consider Harris as dumb as Biden.

What happens when you touch a Pickle to an AM radio tower? | Jeff Geerling

A few months ago, our AM radio hot dog experiment went mildly viral. That was a result of me asking my Dad 'what would happen if you ground a hot dog to one of your AM radio towers?' He didn't know, so one night on the way to my son's volleyball practice, we tested it. And it was awesome.

There's a video and some pictures in my hot dog radio blog post from back in March.

Fast forward a few months and one Open Sauce later, and Jay from Plasma Channel visited us in St. Charles, MO, for round two—where my Dad and I were prepared to measure (almost) everything: SWR, RF forward power, SDR on site, AM field intensity 25km (16mi) away, meat thermals, and—courtesy of Jay—some taste testing!

Elitists Hate Parents and Their Rights – RedState
thumbnail

Florida has long been the most prominent battleground in the ongoing struggle between the rights of parents and the elitists who wish to violate them.

The latest skirmish in this war centers on HB 1069 which, among other things, gives parents and taxpayers more of a say in which books and materials are made available in public school libraries. //

The law empowers parents to raise objections to certain types of material. These objections would be taken into account by the district, which will work with the community to decide whether the content will be removed, restricted, or allowed.

This has nothing to do with censorship, as folks on the left contend. It has everything to do with parents being able to decide what their children are learning in the schools they fund through taxes. It is a process through which local communities have a stronger voice in what their children are seeing and consuming in the state’s educational institutions.

For most people, this concept is a no-brainer. Parents are the ones responsible for raising their children. Moreover, schools are funded using money taken from parents in the form of taxes. Why shouldn’t they have more of a say in what schools are teaching their children? //

The suit complains that Florida’s law requires books to be removed without consulting “trained professionals, such as teachers or media specialists.”

The notion that only governmental and corporate “experts” should decide what books are appropriate for school libraries smacks of elitism. This perspective implies that only our betters are equipped to know what our children should and should not be learning in class. //

The plaintiffs cannot win this lawsuit. It is not just about books. It is about parental rights. Corporate and governmental interests should not supersede the rights of parents to determine how their children are raised and educated just because there are some folks who want small children to view sexually explicit content.

DHS Puts Secret Service in Charge of Security of Electoral College Vote Count Process. No, Really. – RedState
thumbnail

The vote counting joins other major events such as the national nominating conventions, presidential inaugurations and the president’s annual State of the Union address. But this is the first time the Electoral College counting and certification has been designated.

Curious, isn't it? It strikes me as a political move, made to remind the country of the so-called January 6, 2021 "insurrection" by Trump loyalists. Nah, the Biden-Harris administration would never do that, right? //

The Use of Animals in Research Is Still Controversial. It Shouldn't Be. – RedState
thumbnail

Thalidomide was developed originally as a mild sedative and worked very well in this application. In the 1950s, the main body of scientific thought was that drugs would not cross the placental barrier, so when thalidomide was discovered to be very effective in dealing with morning sickness, doctors in Europe began to prescribe it for that purpose. The results are well known; many children exposed to this substance were born with horrible deformities.

The anti-animal research claims regarding thalidomide are simple; the research done with animals did not predict the teratogenic (birth defect) effects of thalidomide. A common claim in the animal rights community is that rats, mice, and hamsters did not show any teratogenic effects when thalidomide was in pre-clinical trials. This is a blatant falsehood. Several research projects demonstrated teratogenic effects in rats, mice, hamsters, and primates.

So, the truth is somewhat different. An objective analysis of the thalidomide tragedy reveals just the opposite of what the anti-animal-research people claim. The problem was, in fact, insufficient animal testing. Indeed, thalidomide was never approved in the United States, precisely because the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) felt that insufficient pre-clinical (animal) testing was done. //

Ironically this same property of thalidomide, namely bonding to developmental DNA, is making it useful in treating cancer patients. //

The question to be posed to the anti-research people at this juncture is simple: "Please explain to us how the lack of application of these highly predictive tests before the release of thalidomide in the European market translates into a failure of animal research, rather than a failure to apply sufficient animal research." //

This is but one example. It's also important to note that animals are currently used not only in research but in the production of medical products; for instance, the production of insulin is generally batch-tested in animals genetically engineered to be diabetic, although in recent years there has been a lot of work done towards a cellular-level test that doesn't involve an animal subject. //

Husband works in animal pharma, and they do have to use animals for testing. Basically, the companies seek to reduce their dependence on animal testing whenever possible because it is very expensive among other things, like being a PR issue no matter how humanely you try to conduct the testing. Every national/international entity they conduct business with inspects for test animal treatment among many, many other things although some countries care more about it than others.

Hubs got challenged by an activist once, and he shut her down by asking her when the first live animal test should take place, "In controlled circumstances on a test animal, or the first time your vet injects it into your beloved dog?" //

Lab testing of animals was inhumane decades ago. All labs receiving federal grants, and most state grants, require institutions to have an Institutional Animal Care Committee (IACUC). All use of animals, including field research, requires an Animal Use Protocol (AUP). The committees are rigorous because violations of requirements can cost the institution millions. The AUP is a pain but understandable. I spent my entire career doing animal field research. The focus on AUPs didn’t ramp up until the late 1970s.

NEW: DOJ Is Dropping Nearly Half of the J6 Obstruction Charges – RedState

Next up is going after the DOJ, prosecutors and judges who have allowed this gross violation of the Constitution in the first place. There have to be consequences. If not, then it will happen again.

This isn't just about J6. We are seeing the same thing with prolife protesters. We are seeing with Trump on his numerous charges in several states. The "justice" system is out of control. If the people doing this do not face prison themselves, then they will do it again. At the end of the day, these defendants have lost part of their lives they can never get back, not to mention the money, stress, etc. What do the prosecutors, judges and DOJ officials lose? Nothing. Maybe a bit of embarrassment, that they really don't care about because they are heroes in their circles for trying.

Without consequences, real and severe, we will just get more of this. //

Ultimately to quote John Adams, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Our ultimate problem is that we lack the morality as a society to function under our Constitution. In the end, the Constitution is a piece of paper. It is only as valid as the will of the people to ensure that it is upheld. We are not a nation of laws, but a nation of political will. If the people lack the political will to demand the Constitution be followed, then it is null and void for all practical purposes.

In the past, if someone stepped way out of line of the Constitution, such as prosecuting political enemies, the bulk of the country would not put up with it and would throw that person and their allies out of power. It harkens back to Adams' words. The people have a higher authority that politics or the Constitution. They would call out their own side if required. The left has no limits. They are Voldemort, "There is no good or evil, there is only power."

Blumenthal: American People Will Be 'Shocked, Appalled, Astonished' by Failures Revealed in J13 Report – RedState

When one of the more senior Senate Democrats sounds the alarm bell regarding governmental failures, it says something — particularly if it involves former President Donald Trump (and I don't mean in a way that's critical of him). According to Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the American people are going to be "shocked, appalled, astonished" when they see the interim report that lawmakers plan to release shortly regarding the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president. //

However, he did say that he believes there needs to be more accountability. "Without accountability, this kind of failure and lapse will happen again." //

Wow. If he's saying that, it means it's bad and there's no way for them to spin it. He's getting out in front of it so the stink doesn't land on him. That means it's the administration's fault which means it's the fault of Democrats.

NEW: Trump Shuts Down Any Future Debates, Releases Scathing Hit on Kamala Harris – RedState

So what would be the point? Does America really need another three-on-one slap-fest that shows us nothing new about either candidate? Trump has already debated twice. There's nothing else to learn about who he is or where he stands. On the other side, Harris isn't going to suddenly start giving details about her policies, and that would be the only possible value to be found in holding another debate. //

This is the right move. We now have three separate polls telling us the same thing: Harris won the debate and Trump won the election. Undecided voters went in hoping to find out more about Harris and what her plans were. When they did not get that, they decided to vote for Trump because they pretty much know what his policies will be and their lives were a lot better then than they are now.

It was her choice to spend her time painting Happy Talk word pictures and telling everybody how horrible Trump is... instead of telling anyone why she is going to be any different than the four years we just had. She didn't do what the voters wanted. I wouldn't give her a second chance. //

I think this is why the moderators never followed up or challenged Harris: she was given the questions, her team came up with slick answers, and she memorized them in order. If the moderators had deviated from the list it would have thrown her all out of whack, and they didn't want to trip her up.

The New Yorker's Response to Trump Campaign Request for Correction to Debunked Claim Was Something Else – RedState

The problem with all the mockery was that Trump's claim was true, as evidenced by an article from CNN of all places, that had been published the day before the debate, and which detailed Harris' answers to a 2019 ACLU questionnaire: https://assets.aclu.org/live/uploads/2024/08/Harris-ACLU-Candidate-Questionnaire.pdf //

To make matters worse, Free Beacon reporter Joe Gabriel Simonson added on Twitter that "In a subsequent exchange, Glasser’s editor said the New Yorker does not 'see a need to issue a correction.'"
