"The Truth..."
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” - Oscar Wilde ○ "People can be incredibly stubborn about what they choose to believe and by refusing to accept the truth, they are under the impression that their opinion is relevant. The more you argue with those people, the more you are playing into their hands, because they believe that you are arguing with them since they have a decent point to make. It is futile to argue with people like these because they do not even remain consistent with their own arguments. They purposefully distort the truth, misinterpret facts in order to avoid... read more

Musk reminds Twitter of Hillary Clinton 'misinformation'
NY Post: Elon Musk called out an old Hillary Clinton tweet as a “hoax” Friday after a Twitter user flagged it for misleading disinformation and was ignored. The tweet, written Oct. 31, 2016 during Clinton’s failed presidential campaign, is a statement issued in response to a news report about an alleged secret server at Trump Tower that was being used to covertly communicate with Russia. “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank,” Clinton wrote in the tweet alongside the statement issued by one of her ... read more

The Congressional Big Brother kill switch for new cars
Eric Utter: President Joe Biden recently signed a law mandating (*person*dating?) that all new vehicles sold after 2026 must be equipped with electronic "kill switches." These switches could conceivably be used by government officials — or hackers — to seize control of one's car without permission or oversight. Oddly enough, the law was essentially hidden inside of the administration's LGBTQ-friendly $1.2-trillion infrastructure bill that was passed late last year. The "kill switch law" would potentially allow law enforcement to shut one's car off remotely, and also to track t... read more

1 illegal gun, two murders in Toronto
Speaking of local shootings, Global Fake News is reporting that an illegal US handgun smuggled into Canada killed two Ontario teens. It is relevant because it reinforces where most of the illegal guns in Canada come from that are used in gun violence. They don't come from legal gun owners here that have registered firearms. People don't commit violent crime with registered handguns because they are traceable. Instead they use throwaway. Illegally obtained guns that aren't registered.

From there, African slaves brought it to South America, where it was further developed into new forms; and from there, it "migrated" to the USA, where it was commercialized and standardized for mass production as an orchestral and band instrument. However, it's still played throughout Africa in its primitive form: I g... read more
