Solidarity-- 2020
*In Poland, solidarity overthrow a tyrannical occupation* In 2014, there were over a dozen Democrats running for the West Side of L.A. congressional district Henry Waxman was retiring from. The DCCC/EMILY's List conservatives had some awful status quo candidate, Wendy Greuel, they were funneling immense support to. EMILY's List spent $158,516 on one of their typical smear campaigns against progressives and Greuel spent $1.3 on the primary.

Even with Enyaq, electric cars make no economic sense
In the morning, we learned that the Eurozone's industrial production has dropped by 4.1% year-on-year. It's clearly one of the manifestations of the devastating impact of the neo-Marxist Luddites who took over the bureaus of the undemocratic transnational institution known as the EU. Herr Bernhard Meier, the boss of Škoda, the second highest-margin brand in the Volkswagen Group, started to call for help. Spreading their medieval superstitions about the weather, the unhinged Luddites really want to destroy the car industry of the old continent. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []... more »

Coronavirus Pandemic
I have a number of support articles coming up but i am going to try to get out some key points. 1 A plausible genesis of this particular virus is a weaponized Corona-virus that was stolen from a lab a couple of years back in Canada that led to arrests and researchers kicked out. This was no minor security breach. This coincided with the building of a secure level 4 lab facility in Wuhan. This is not a good story for Chinese CCP ethics. So far the CCP has pumped out a clearly false narrative instead. There is so far no third alternative. 2 More to the point, it is ce... more »
