A Ban on Arctic Drilling Remains in Democrats’ New Reconciliation Framework While Gas Prices Soar

House Democrats unveiled a revamped version of the “Build Back Better” plan on Thursday, watered down to a still-colossal $1.75 trillion price tag from the $3.5 trillion that failed to pass earlier last month.

The sweeping social spending bill with $550 billion allocated to climate change alone was released hours ahead of President Joe Biden’s trip to Europe for a global summit on emissions. . .

Local indigenous groups within the refuge have lobbied for decades to open up their backyard for drilling, only to be stopped by D.C. Democrats who demand the flat-tundra surface of Alaska’s north slope remain a museum they would maybe one day like to visit. Opposition from a rival tribe hundreds of miles south has been exploited to cloak Arctic protections under the left’s moral imperative of social justice, even though drilling in the adjacent Prudhoe Bay has shown no harm to the region’s major wildlife such as caribou.

Principal Who Got ‘Man Pageant’ Lap Dances From Students Also Was Touched, Rubbed by Male Student During Raunchy ‘Like a Virgin’ Routine (VIDEO)

The Kentucky high school principal under fire over photos that show him receiving lap dances from scantily clad students during a “Man Pageant” this week also watched a male student in a white gown writhe on a gym floor — and even touch and rub him — to the tune of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” in a newly surfaced 2020 video. . .

Kentucky sports journalist Nate Bryan posted the video to Twitter and said Hazard High School Principal Donald “Happy” Mobelini — who’s also mayor of the eastern Kentucky city — watched the action from the “front row.”

In the clip, the male student in the white gown imitates Madonna’s infamous live rendition of “Like a Virgin” in which the legendary singer writhed onstage in sexually suggestive ways.

In the 2020 video recorded during Hazard’s homecoming week, the male student rubs his hands on and places his arms around Mobelini’s neck, and later the principal claps along to the beat.

American Airlines Cancels More Than 1,000 Flights Over Halloween Weekend

American Airlines canceled over 1,000 flights over the Halloween weekend, blaming weather woes and staffing issues.

On Sunday, the airline canceled 527 total flights, or 19 percent of all of its planned flights that day, accounting for nearly one-third of all of the country’s cancelations, according to data from aviation tracking website FlightAware. Another 31 flights, or 1 percent, were delayed.

American canceled an additional 543 flights, or 20 percent of its total planned flights, on Saturday. Another 407 flights, or 15 percent of its flights, were delayed, according to data.

In a note to staff on Saturday, American COO David Seymour blamed the delays on poor weather conditions around the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline’s base of operations, that had displaced staff around the country, according to CNBC.

Satanists Convince School District to Change Anti-Satanic Dress Code

Satanists earned a victory after convincing a Pennsylvania school district to remove a student dress code ban on clothes that are “satanic in nature.”

The Rose Tree Media School District, just west of Philadelphia, had included a ban on satanic clothing, along with clothes those that are sexually suggestive, obscene or promote violence. But earlier this week, the superintendent issued a statement that the dress code’s reference to satanic clothing would be removed, reported WPVI-TV, an ABC TV station in Philadelphia.

“Although we have had no complaints or concerns brought forward by any student, parent, or resident we will remove this language from our current dress code information in the student handbook,” the announcement read, according to WPVI.

Joseph Rose, founder of the Philadelphia area group Satanic Delco, began contacting the school district about a month ago after learning about the dress code language from parents with children in the district. The wording is discriminatory, he argued. (Read more from “Satanists Convince School District to Change Anti-satanic Dress Code” HERE)

Majority Disapprove of Biden, Say U.S. Heading in Wrong Direction

More than 50 percent of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s job performance and 71 percent believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction, according to a poll released Sunday.

The president’s job approval ratings have been tanking since April, when 52 percent gave him a thumbs up and 39 percent disapproved, according to an NBC News poll.

The latest survey, which follows the track of other polls, showed Biden underwater, with 54 percent disapproving and 42 percent approving.

The paltry poll numbers come just days before a crucial gubernatorial contest in Virginia pitting Democrat Terry McAuliffe against Republican Glenn Youngkin, a race that’s seen as a bellwether for next year’s midterms. ​

“Democrats face a country whose opinion of President Biden has turned sharply to the negative since April,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.

‘This Is Absurd’ MMA Fans Disgusted by ‘Horrific’ Inter-Gender Fight (VIDEO)

MMA fans were left disgusted after a female fighter was battered by a male opponent during an inter-gender fight in Poland. One viewer described the scene as ‘horrific’ as the ref was forced to stop the bout.

Ula Siekacz is an arm wrestler and fitness instructor who regularly shows off her bulging biceps online.

But they were not enough to defend her against Piotrek Muaboy – who describes himself as ‘185cm of pure sex’.

A video emerged online of the show held at a hotel in the Polish city of Czestochowa.

In it, the pair can be seen trading fairly tame blows before Muaboy lands a couple of solid blows to Siekacz’s face. (Read more from “‘This Is Absurd’ MMA Fans Disgusted by ‘Horrific’ Inter-Gender Fight” HERE)

Fully Vaccinated WH Press Secretary Tests Positive for COVID-19

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday that she had tested positive for COVID-19, days after pulling out of the president’s overseas trip due to a family emergency. Psaki is vaccinated, and said she is only experiencing mild symptons.

Psaki said in a statement on Sunday that emergency was “members of my household testing positive for COVID-19.”

“Since then, I have quarantined and tested negative (via PCR) for COVID on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,” Psaki said. “However, today, I tested positive for COVID. While I have not had close contact in person with the president or senior members of the White House staff since Wednesday — and tested negative for four days after that last contact — I am disclosing today’s positive test out of an abundance of transparency. I last saw the president on Tuesday, when we sat outside more than six feet apart, and wore masks.” (Read more from “Fully Vaccinated WH Press Secretary Tests Positive for COVID-19” HERE)

China’s 2021 Five Year Plan Announced – Biotechnology and Information Technology Warfare Dominance

China is preparing for biological warfare and is mobilizing all its military and civilian resources in that effort.

The recently translated Chinese Communist Party’s 2021 14th Five-year Plan National Key Research and Development Program has a subsection “Research on pathogenesis and epidemic prevention technology system,” which states a goal to:

Establish a real-time information analysis and early warning mechanism based on the pathogen database to be able to analyze the variation and evolution of known epidemic pathogens in peacetime, and to be able to respond quickly to emergent pathogens and analyze the variation and evolution of pathogens in wartime.”

The program will identify “8-10 pathogens” and “establish a combination of civilian and combat pathogen data monitoring and analysis application system.”

The 14th Five Year Plan goals are the culmination and extension of the 2016 13th Five-Year Plan’s Science and Technology Military-Civilian Fusion Program, which was launched by the Scientific and Technical Committee affiliated with the Central Military Commission.

That program incorporated all Chinese universities, pharmaceutical companies and “civilian” research centers, like the Wuhan Institute of Virology, into the People’s Liberation Army’s biotechnology warfare effort.

The research and development tasks outlined in the 2021 14th Five Year Plan are:

1. Discovery of pathogenic mechanisms and targets for the transmission of major infectious diseases,

2. Discovery, traceability and early warning prediction of major infectious disease pathogens,

4. Research on novel vaccine design and platform system,

4. Clinical control of major infectious diseases,

5. The establishment of an integrated system for the prevention and control of major emerging and emergent infectious diseases.

A Key Project of the Chinese Communist Party’s The 14th Five Year Plan is “Biotechnology and Information Technology Fusion (BT and IT Fusion),” the target areas being:

1. Development of information storage systems based on DNA principles

2. Construction and development of intelligent biological systems for life-non-life integration

3. Demonstration of the application of BT and IT convergence technology in health medicine scenarios

According to the translated documents, the goals of the Key Project, which incorporates the use of artificial intelligence, are:

build DNA storage, brain-like intelligence and human-computer interaction, biological knowledge mapping, programmable cellular intelligence, intelligent medical and other cross-fertilization technologies, and promote big data-driven life science knowledge discovery and transformation applications; spawn a number of life and health-oriented disruptive new technologies, and promote the development of new economic models.”

All the data-driven research described in China’s 14th Five Year Plan “involves the collection, conservation, utilization and provision of human genetic resources.”

Although China will attempt to “achieve full coverage of pathogenic research including viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites,” the “core targets are important respiratory viruses such as coronaviruses and influenza viruses,” for which molecular biology will be used “to analyze the key factors affecting the transmission of viruses.”

Clearly, the COVID-19 pandemic has not slowed China’s ambitions in regard to biotechnology-information technology fusion and its applications in biological warfare.

Unfortunately for us, the U.S. government is asleep at the wheel.

Uh-Oh: Biden’s Poll Numbers Are Even Worse Than They Seem

By Washington Examiner. President Joe Biden’s dropping poll numbers are worse than they seem. A deep dive into the data shows two overlooked problems that most news stories haven’t caught: an intensity problem and a national mood problem.

An intensity problem happens when a politician’s “hard” negative ratings rise much higher than his or her “hard” positive ratings. Voters who hold strongly negative views are less likely to shift to the positive side than are voters who hold only somewhat negative views — and that spells trouble in the next election.

Put another way, Biden’s supporters tend to be only so-so in their esteem, while opponents are more passionate in their enmity.

In the recent Quinnipiac University poll , for example, Biden’s overall job approval rating is 40%, with 53% disapproving. That’s not good. But when you look at internal numbers that didn’t make it into the headlines, it gets worse: The number of voters who strongly disapprove of the job the president is doing is more than twice that of those who strongly approve, 45% to 20%.

The same is true for Biden’s personal popularity. Among voters, he’s 46% favorable and 51% unfavorable in an Economist poll . However, the very unfavorable is bigger than the very favorable, 40% to 26%. (Read more from “Uh-Oh: Biden’s Poll Numbers Are Even Worse Than They Seem” HERE)

57% Say Economy Worse Under Biden, 60% Blame Democrats

By Breitbart. A clear majority of Americans say the economy has worsened under His Fraudulency Joe Biden, and 60 percent put the blame squarely on Democrats.

Rasmussen Reports asked 1,000 likely voters, “Has the U.S. economy gotten better or worse since Joe Biden became president, or is the economy about the same?”

A clear majority of 57 percent said the economy is worse, only 21 percent said better, and ten percent said “about the same.”

I’m curious who the 21 percent are who say the economy has improved.

4 Versions of Scathing Anti-Biden Rap ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Now in Itunes Top 10

President Joe Biden’s first term is taking a bad rap — times four.

What started as one chart-topping anti-Biden hip-hop anthem has quadrupled into four hit tracks in iTunes’ Top 10 on Friday, as conservatives flock to buy the tunes and prove their purchasing power.

All four songs are titled “Let’s Go Brandon” — a phrase that has become a right-wing rallying cry in recent weeks.

The phrase originated during a NASCAR race in Alabama on Oct. 2. At that event, crowds were caught on camera chanting “F – – k Joe Biden,” but an NBC anchor insisted they were actually chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” — in reference to a win by driver Brandon Brown.

“Let’s Go Brandon” began trending on Twitter, with some right-wingers claiming NBC was involved in a cover-up by refusing to allow any criticism of the president on their network. The phrase has now been co-opted by conservatives, with several rappers creating tracks to troll Democrats.
