But I thought everything was okay? The EPA said its chemical readings are normal! Scientists from Texas A&M and Carnegie Mellon universities found that nine of the 12 chemicals from the East Palestine, OH, train disaster are reading higher than normal.(Snip)If the levels of some of these chemicals remain high, it could be a problem for residents’ health in the long term, the scientists say. Temperature changes or high winds might stir up the chemicals and release them into the atmosphere. The highest levels found in East Palestine were of a chemical called acrolein, the analysis says.

The injection of private money into public election administration--or "Zuckerbucks"--is continuing in a new form, as left-leaning candidates are being recruited to run for local elections offices by an organization that receives funds from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a project of the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), is awarding funds to counties and municipalities under the Centers for Election Excellence program. The alliance will provide $80 million over five years "to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration," according to CTCL.(Snip)The alliance is not the only left-leaning, Zuckerberg-linked organization seeking to influence elections.

The fallout continues from the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border earlier this month, as local residents file lawsuits and some cast doubt on official assurances about air and water quality.(Snip)One of the chemicals they were most concerned about was vinyl chloride,(Snip)According to the National Cancer Institute, exposure to the gas is associated with “with an increased risk of a rare form of liver cancer (hepatic angiosarcoma), as well as primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), brain and lung cancers, lymphoma, and leukemia.” The chemical can also enter water supplies and be ingested.

WASHINGTON, D. C. – U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, a Champaign County Republican, opened the first hearing of a new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government by alleging a litany of improper political acts by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (Snip) Democrats on Jordan’s subcommittee described its activities as a partisan exercise that itself constituted government weaponization. It’s top Democrat, Del. Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands, said she believes Republicans will try to use the subcommittee to “look into and potentially muck up” federal criminal investigations of ex-President Donald Trump and said Democrats will resist those efforts.

Jesus in the wilderness faced three temptations from the Devil himself: material comfort, fame, and power. Needless to say, he declined every temptation and passed all three trials.(Snip)One way to think about these last three years is a succession of compliance tests: how much liberty and good sense are we willing to surrender to the regime and on what terms?(Snip)As if to fit the model, they came in three great waves: lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates. Let’s examine all three stages and reflect on their demands and terms. It begins to make sense, at least from the point of view of those in control.

Early last year, there was an astounding report that several life insurance companies determined there was an overwhelming, unexplained increase (40%) in “all-cause deaths” among 18 to 49-year-olds. From that 2022 report: Three physician “whistle-blowers” have just released real data from the DoD, drawn from the clinical diagnosis codes. The increases found are from 2021, compared to the five year average from 2016 to 2020. Myocardial infarction: 269% increase; Miscarriages: 300% increase; Bell’s palsy: 291% increase; Congenital malformations: 156% increase; Female infertility: 471% increase; Pulmonary embolisms: 467% increase; Neurologic abnormalities: 300% increase; Cancers: 300% increase. As of now, the CDC has not explained this data.

In ancient Rome, men who want to wield enormous influence and become fabulously wealthy while doing so would form triumvirates (e.g., the Marc Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian in 43 BC). We are now living under a new triumvirate: Big Pharma, Big Government and Big Media.(Snip) The pro-transparency news organization Project Veritas just released an undercover video of a Pfizer executive bragging on camera about how his company conducts a kind of Frankenstein science, manipulating COVID viruses for profit, imperiling potentially the entire world, doing it in secret, possibly in violation of federal law, bragging about this.

For all Joe Biden’s talk about “semi-fascist” and “un-American,” “ultra-MAGA” Republicans, it is the Democratic Party that has far more radically changed. It is descended into a woke, neo-socialist, radically green party. And it is committed, as Barack Obama once promised, to fundamentally transforming America. How it proceeds with that agenda is now as entirely predictable as it is creepy.(Snip)We are faced with a strictly disciplined, no-nonsense revolutionary party, well known from history that aims to change the nation into something unrecognizable by most Americans. And it feels that it has now created the means to do it.

Top officers in the U.S. Navy warned that the Ukraine war is putting a strain on an already stretched industrial base Tuesday, complaining defense contractors continue to fall behind in keeping up with the Navy’s needs, according to media reports.(Snip)“If the conflict does go on for another six months to another year, it certainly continues to stress the supply chain in ways that are challenging,”(Snip) Most of the more than $29.9 billion in security assistance so far committed to Ukraine is withdrawn from existing U.S. stocks and includes equipment suited to defending against attackers from the ground, rather than the sea.

Andy Sedlak said deliveries could begin as early as February 28th, continue throughout the week, and emphasized “the process will be completely safe for the general public.” Other Ross representatives said Grafton and surrounding towns would not be at risk for contamination.
