Out today, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life, blows the lid off of Meta’s pattern of intentionally using harmful and aggressive tactics to get users addicted to social media apps like Facebook and Instagram and documents a shocking rise in depression and suicide that some scientists have linked to social media use.This comes just weeks after dozens of state attorneys general (AGs) filed suit against Facebook’s and Instagram’s parent company, Meta Platforms Inc. (Meta), and three of its subsidiaries, for harming children by addicting them to the social media platforms. Forty-two states, including California and New York,

I became addicted to C…. C…. and another online game. Soon I spent hours each day, playing the games. My dreams became filled with the games. It came to the point that dreams were real to me. In my Waking hours When I closed my eyes I could see the games continue to happen. I quit cold turkey. It took some time for me to dream of other more pleasant things

Used to be that we had to wait 2-5 years between each James Bond movie to see an insane, over the top, megalomaniac billionaire trying to take over the world. Now there are dozens of them working full time, every day doing the same thing in the real world.

Parents need to take back the reins on the access to computers for their kids. Make them go outside and play for a few hours a day and give them chores to do around the house. They won't have all that much time to be surfing the web and get into god knows what websites.

So, when you're in your new smart city with limited ability to go anywhere (you'll eventually need to be provided access), and won't own anything, they'll keep you entertained with Virtual Reality entertainment. You'll end up "visiting" places but never leave your home as it will all be Virtual Reality.

I can see why so many of these wannabe Lex Luthors are pushing so hard to develop artificial intelligence, which currently does not exist, even in primitive form. Their own minds are so narrow and deficient that they need something else to think for them. Zuckerberg and Gates are certified idiots and they have lots of company.

See the movie, "The Social Dilemma" for a balanced look at what Zuckie et al have had up their sleeve especially to what they have done to our young people. And look at the lavish lifestyle Zuckie leads at your expense. The addiction to social media didn't just happen yesterday. It's been in the works for a good while. Look around the next time you are at home looking at your kids, in a public place, or at an airport and observe the SM addicts. Tech addiction at its best. How to dry out from such an addiction? How about start using our mouths again for communication before the human mouth disappears from the human genome due to lack of use.

President Joe Biden said he still considers Chinese leader Xi Jinping a 'dictator' even as he said US-China relations were back on track with new military-to-military channels to prevent accidents between the two superpowers. He also said he gave Xi a blunt warning Wednesday not to interfere in Taiwan's January elections. He made the 'dictator' comment in response to a reporter's question, on a day he met at length with his counterpart for the first time in a year and strolled the elegant grounds of a California estate.

Last week, over at “Just the News,” the headline blared: “Trump leads Biden in 5 battleground states in New York Times poll.” Other than a feelgood rush, so what? The official date for the ‘24 elections is November 5, though Election Day has become a nugget surrounded by gobs of ballot-stuffing and electronic hijinks. November 5 is now less than a year hence. Whatever the polls report today won’t necessarily reflect outcomes then, even if they’re honestly tallied. Let’s venture that next year’s elections are held (yes, you read that right). The results, either way, will inevitably be disputed -- and not civilly, not if Democrats manage to lose. Between Trump derangement

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden has advanced to a stage in which witnesses should be placed under oath. The speaker released a statement on Wednesday that said he had just received an update from Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who is leading the endeavor, and the two others tasked with assisting him: Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).“At this stage, our impeachment inquiry has already shown the corrupt conduct of the president’s family and that he and White House officials have repeatedly lied about his knowledge and involvement in his family’s business activities,”

Protesters gathered to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, but the gathering quickly turned into chaos.

About 300 million people in the United States would be put at risk of death from exposure to radioactive fallout in the four days following a nuclear attack, according to a new report that models the possible effects of such a grim event. If the US is attacked with nuclear weapons, an adversary would most likely concentrate all fire on the country's intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facilities. Any retaliatory attack from the US would come from these silos, located in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming - and taking them out would be an enemy's first priority.

A new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday showed President Biden's approval rating sinking and support for former President Donald Trump rising as the 2024 election looms. According to the poll, American voters' worsening views of Biden were driven by his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, which has also given Trump his first lead in the poll since February. Just 37% of voters said they approved of Biden's job performance, with 59% disapproving. The same number (37%) also said they viewed Biden favorably versus unfavorably (59%).

Trump’s lawyers argued that the fraud case was tainted by bias. Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. Far-left Judge Arthur Engoron has displayed bizarre behavior in the court by smiling for the cameras. He has also shown clear bias against Trump

Ten elite universities with large endowments have taken billions of federal tax dollars, according to a new report from OpenTheBooks. The collective endowments of these universities grew from $172.2 billion in 2018 to $237 billion by the end of 2022, and the endowments reaped a collective $12 billion in special tax treatment benefits during that time frame. “With the U.S. taxpayer subsidies, tax-breaks and federal payments into these ten elite universities pushing $7 billion per year, it’s time to revisit the definition of a public charity.

Some may blame video games, others the music. Some may lay the problem at the feet of years of progressive education and politics, while still others point to the prevalence of social media. Some will point out that the nuclear family has been atomized over the ages through sexual liberation, federal intervention, and feminism. Others will look to conservatives who dithered about taxes while the country rotted from the inside. More than likely, it was all of the above that contributed to the chaos that reigns in the United States. To a certain degree, cops have always faced a certain level of animus.

According to over 100 pages of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the narrative surrounding the discovery and handling of cocaine at the White House appears fraught with inconsistencies and cover-ups. The Gateway Pundit reported in July that Hazmat crews were dispatched inside the entrance gate near the West Wing of the White House to investigate a suspicious white substance that tested positive for cocaine hydrochloride.

The Biden administration is extending a sanctions waiver that will allow Iran continued access to $10 billion in previously frozen assets, The Associated Press reported Tuesday. The four-month extension will allow Iran continued access to previously frozen $10 billion in electricity revenues for humanitarian aid, according to the AP. Critics of the Biden administration have said that giving Iran to access frozen funds will free up money in Tehran’s money reserves and allow them to carry on sponsoring terrorism. The sanctions waiver will authorize Iraq to continue purchasing electricity services from Iran and give Tehran access to the billions in payments currently stored in the Iraqi banks, according to the AP.

But it’s still very much an issue for American voters, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

The poll then began tracking responses in August. As the data show,
