Elon Musk’s Optimus Humanoid Robots Steal Show at Tesla Event: ‘This Will Be the Biggest Product Ever’ (VIDEO)

Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots stole the show at Elon Musk’s splashy Hollywood event on Thursday night as they danced onstage, served up watermelon-flavored cocktails and charmed guests with their fun and friendly chit-chat.

Following Musk’s introduction, the robots emerged from parted curtains and walked into the audience in a single-file line. The faceless, tall figures with joint-like bends around the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows – can “basically do anything you want,” Musk said.

A bartending bot – which wore a cowboy hat – spoke with a shockingly humanlike cadence.

“How’s everybody doing?” it called out from time to time, with a a hint of a Texas drawl. “How am I doing so far?”

When one customer asked for a watermelon-flavored drink, Optimus double-checked their order: “A watermelon? ’Course you can!”

UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’

/2 Comments/in , /by

UFC chief Dana White has come out swinging against Vice President Kamala Harris, saying the fact she is “incapable of putting a sentence together” should “SCARE THE S–T” out of everyone.

White shared a much-ridiculed clip of Harris stumbling over her words when asked on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” what “major changes” she would make if elected compared to those of her current administration with President Biden.

“I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE,” White, 55, posted on X.

“She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head,” continued the UFC chief.

“This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S–T OUT OF YOU!!!” he wrote. (Read more from “UFC CEO Dana White Slams Kamala Harris’ Appearance on Colbert: ‘Should Scare Everyone’” HERE)

West Virginia Resolution Would Prohibit State From Recognizing a President Elected by Fraud

/2 Comments/in , , /by

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is widely expected that Republican candidate Donald Trump will secure a decisive victory in West Virginia, capturing the state’s four electoral votes with ease. However, a group of Republican lawmakers in West Virginia’s House of Delegates is pushing for the state to take a more prominent stance on the legitimacy of the election itself.

Five members of the House of Delegates recently introduced House Concurrent Resolution 203, which challenges the integrity of the upcoming national election. The resolution declares that the West Virginia Legislature will refuse to acknowledge the results of a presidential election deemed “illegitimate.” Central to their claim is the assertion that there is “overwhelming evidence” suggesting non-citizens are being registered to vote in the 2024 election.

The resolution’s language goes beyond general concerns and specifically outlines a variety of scenarios under which West Virginia could withhold recognition of the election outcome. The lawmakers’ concerns focus on allegations of election fraud or tampering in any state, implying that even isolated incidents of interference could invalidate the entire election in their eyes. According to the text of the resolution, if “election interference” is detected, West Virginia would not accept the election of the president, raising questions about how the state might handle certification of results and participate in the broader electoral process.

While Trump’s victory in the state seems certain, this move by Republican delegates signals a deeper skepticism about the national election process and could be indicative of broader challenges to the outcome if similar sentiments take hold in other states. The introduction of the resolution also highlights ongoing divisions within the country regarding election security, with some lawmakers continuing to push narratives that question the legitimacy of election processes and results on a broader scale.

Here’s the full language of the resolution:

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 203

(By Delegates Ridenour, Mazzocchi, Dillon, Longanacre, Coop-Gonzalez, Foster, Foggin, Steele, and Butler)

[Introduced October 6, 2024; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.]

Requesting that the West Virginia Legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election.

Whereas, a Constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections are conducted in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and are free of violence or threats of violence, government manipulation, censorship, coercion, fraudulent voting, or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and/or election results by any means whatsoever; and that

Whereas, in the 2024 election cycle there have been, to date, two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for President of the United States while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president abound. The federal government, under the current Democrat-led regime, has utterly failed, and continues to fail, in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president; and that

Whereas, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in U.S. and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That, the sovereign State of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for President if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election fraud includes non-citizen voting, vote buying, ballot forgery, illegal or illicit ballot harvesting, illegal or illicit discarding of legal votes or voter registrations, ballot miscounts, algorithmic manipulation of votes or vote tabulations, cyber-attack or manipulation, or intimidation. Election fraud also includes interference by any government entities, including arrests or prosecutions for apparent political motives, or other forms of persecution using legal or official processes, to negatively affect an electoral process, or a political entity participating in an electoral process, using unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate means, including those under the color of law or office; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President, if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election interference by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments was a key factor that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election interference includes censorship, information suppression or manipulation, or other unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate actions by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments, either directly or in collusion with elements of the media, social media entities, information entities, or political entities; and be it

Further Resolved, Thereupon a determination by the Legislature of West Virginia, in consultation with the Attorney General and Secretary of State, of either the illegal or illicit elimination of the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate during the 2024 election cycle; or election fraud or election interference resulting in the Constitutionally illegitimate selection of a President during the 2024 election cycle, the Legislature will be called into special session by the Governor to consider actions to preserve the Freedom of our People.

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the Secretary of State of West Virginia, and the Governor of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the United States Congress.

End of Fluoridation of US Water Could Be in Sight After Federal Court Ruling

/2 Comments/in , /by

For decades, drinking water fluoridation opponents were often portrayed as a fringe element and conspiracy theorists, but a federal ruling in the US may put an end to the practice and marks a pivotal point in their campaign to convince the public and policymakers of the substance’s dangers for infants’ developing brains.

Armed with a growing body of scientific evidence pointing toward fluoride’s neurotoxicity, public health advocates say the legal win shows they are overcoming “institutional inertia” and the unwillingness of federal public health agencies to admit they may have been wrong.

The order last week requiring the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin the process of strengthening fluoride regulations represents a “landmark” legal win that has long been in the making, said Stuart Cooper, director of the Fluoridation Action Network advocacy group.

“After many years of them ignoring us and defending fluoridation, we had an opportunity to get a fair and balanced adjudication in courts,” Cooper said.

The Obama-appointed US judge Edward Chen found fluoridation could cause developmental damage and lower IQ in children at levels to which the public is generally exposed in drinking water. Though the ruling did not state the level at which fluoridation would damage brains, the levels in US water present an unreasonable risk, the court found.

North Korean Engineers Utilize AI and Fake IDs To Secure US Remote Work

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent report by the Asian Nikkei Review reveals that North Korean engineers are leveraging artificial intelligence and sophisticated deception techniques to secure remote jobs with foreign governments and corporations, ultimately funneling U.S. dollars into the regime of Kim Jong-un.

The investigation highlights the case of Matthew Isaac Knoot, a 38-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee, who allegedly operated a “laptop farm” aimed at generating revenue for North Korea’s weapons program. Knoot reportedly used stolen identities to mislead American and British companies into hiring North Korean workers disguised as remote IT personnel. The proceeds from these fraudulent operations were laundered into accounts linked to both North Korean and Chinese entities.

According to the Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, Knoot’s operation garnered over $250,000 in revenue between July 2022 and August 2023 from each false worker employed. Authorities dismantled Knoot’s operation in August, leading to charges of aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to unlawfully employ aliens, with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison looming if he is found guilty.

This incident is not an isolated case. It exemplifies a broader trend where North Korean actors infiltrate U.S. tech companies using forged or stolen identities, all in an effort to finance the regime’s activities or facilitate cyberattacks. In a report published by Google’s security subsidiary, Mandiant, a North Korean hacker group known as “UNC5267” was identified as actively attempting to breach U.S. tech firms. This decentralized group, operating since at least 2018, has members living in various countries, including China, Russia, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia.

Lili Infante, founder and CEO of Miami-based cybersecurity startup CAT Labs, spoke about the challenges her firm has faced, stating, “We’ve weeded out over 50 candidates that were North Korean spies. I had to implement specific controls in my hiring process.”

In a similar vein, cybersecurity firm KnowBe4 reported in July that it had detected a North Korean spy posing as a remote software engineer within its ranks. The company noted that the individual passed several background checks, illustrating the sophistication of these infiltration tactics.

The techniques employed by North Korean operatives are becoming increasingly advanced, with reports indicating that some individuals juggle multiple remote jobs simultaneously, generating millions of dollars for the regime. As the threat of infiltration continues to grow, U.S. companies are urged to enhance their vetting processes to safeguard against these deceptive tactics.

Team Harris Reportedly Worrying Behind Closed Doors That $1 Billion War Chest Won’t Be Enough To Beat Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is worried that her $1 billion war chest won’t be enough to win the upcoming November election, sources told The Washington Post Wednesday.

Harris’ campaign leadership is worried that the huge haul it acquired in the less than 80 days since the campaign began will not flip certain crucial swing states that are currently within the polling margin of error, sources familiar with Harris’ campaign strategy told The Washington Post. Despite the campaign outspending former President Donald Trump by significant margins, Republicans’ momentum in swing states seems to be increasing amid the deadlocked race.

“Talking about this type of big money doesn’t convey the sense of urgency to do every single thing in all of the big and small ways,” one person involved told The Washington Post. “We are in the margin of error. This will come down to grinding it out.”

Harris received a $126 million influx in only three days when President Joe Biden suspended his campaign in July, according to The Washington Post. Additionally, the campaign, along with other aligned groups, raised $361 million in August.

However, polling has remained too close to call between the two candidates. (Read more from “Team Harris Reportedly Worrying Behind Closed Doors That $1 Billion War Chest Won’t Be Enough To Beat Trump” HERE)

Donald Trump Announces Major Family News

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday at a campaign event in Detroit that his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, was pregnant with her first child.

News of Trump’s eleventh grandchild came as the GOP nominee thanked his daughter’s father-in-law, businessman Massad Boulos, for supporting him from the audience of the former president’s speech to the Detroit Economic Club.

“He happened to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy. And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice,” Trump said.

Tiffany Trump had yet to announce her pregnancy at the time the Republican candidate made his remarks.

The announcement comes nearly two years after the former first daughter married husband Michael Boulos at a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. (Read more from “Donald Trump Announces Major Family News” HERE)

Court: Safeguards Barring Foreign Money in Ohio Ballot Campaigns Can Take Effect for 2024 Election

/1 Comment/in , /by

An Ohio law prohibiting the use and acceptance of foreign money in state ballot initiative campaigns can take effect for the 2024 election, a federal appellate court ruled Tuesday.

Writing on behalf of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Amul Thapar granted an emergency request by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Attorney General David Yost to place a stay on an August district court injunction that prevented the law from being enacted. The district judge overseeing the case argued the statute’s definition of “foreign nationals” is “likely unconstitutional,” adding these individuals “have political speech rights” covered by the First Amendment.

The appellate court issued a temporary stay on that injunction last month while it considered the merits of the case.

“Because our initial review suggests that the district court’s First Amendment analysis was flawed, we now grant Ohio’s motion for a stay of the district court’s order,” Thapar wrote.

Thapar was joined in his majority opinion by Judge David McKeague. The dissent was authored by Judge Stephanie Davis. (Read more from “Court: Safeguards Barring Foreign Money in Ohio Ballot Campaigns Can Take Effect for 2024 Election” HERE)

Hypocrites: Top Democrats, Including Election Denier Jamie Raskin, Won’t Commit To Certifying a Trump Victory

/0 Comments/in , /by

Top congressional Democrats told Axios on Thursday they would not commit to certifying the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump wins.

The failure to commit to certifying the election would prove many members to be hypocrites, including House Oversight Committee ranking member and former January 6 committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who told Axios that he is unsure if he’ll certify a Trump win.

Raskin denied Trump won the 2016 election when he objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.

If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin said, assuming the election was free, fair and honest. “I definitely don’t assume that,” he added. “Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”

A video surfaced in September of a panel discussion in February 2024 in which Raskin speculated that Congress would invalidate a Trump election victory, even though it could be at the risk of “civil war.”

“It is not clear whether Raskin was actually outlining a plan of action, or rather using a hypothetical to argue that the U.S. Supreme Court was placing what he considered an undue burden on Congress to keep Trump out of office,” Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak reported.

Barack Obama Sounds Alarm: Black Voters Not Enough Behind Kamala Harris, Especially ‘The Brothers’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama warned supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday that not enough black voters are backing her for president, especially “the brothers.”

The warning suggests top Democrats are panicked about Harris’s reduced support among black voters.

Only 84 percent of black voters say they would vote for Harris, according to a Pew Research poll from September 30, while 13 percent said they would vote for Trump. Harris’s support among the demographic is down eight points from President Joe Biden’s support in 2020, when he won 92 percent of their vote.

Among black men, only 80 percent support Harris, a Washington Post/Ipsos poll recently found, while a NAACP poll found one in four under the age of 50 showed support for Trump.

“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities, as we saw when I was running,” Obama told Harris supporters in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty.
