Posted on March 14, 2022 by Tim Hardin Last week, Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont), released his list of interim charges to all House committees. Every legislative cycle, the leaders of each respective legislative chamber issue interim charges for each committee to study in preparation for the next legislative session. Every lawmaker has the ability to request specific charges to be included on the list, but in the Texas House of Representatives, it is ultimately the Speaker of the House who makes the final decision on which charges or priorities will be studied. Here are some highlights from the House list: Areas of Concern: Committee on Agriculture and Livestock Study the access of the state’s agricultural industry to available capital through loans, grants, or other sources. Make recommendations to ensure the agricultural industry...

None of the fundamental drivers of “Wokeness” have relented N.S. LyonsJan 18300202 “Long live the victory of Chairman Mao’s revolutionary line!” At least in the Boswash (the corridor of East Coast establishment power running from Boston to Washington), using January to make public predictions about the year ahead is an ironclad tradition. Usually these predictions end up being completely wrong, because no one here has any idea what they’re talking about. I hope that holds true in my case, because I want to use my mandatory annual forecast to dump a few gallons of cold, contrarian water on what seems to have recently become a fashionable prediction: that the “woke” ideological revolution roiling the West has peaked and will soon be in full blown retreat. Consider a handful of examples of this new genre: Is Wokeness Almost Over? (Scott McConnell, The American...

JARED TAYLOR • JANUARY 8, 2022 The convicted murderers of Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced yesterday. Travis McMichael, who is 35 and pulled the trigger, got life in prison with no possibility of parole. His 66-year-old father Greg, who was riding with him, got the same, so both will die in prison – barring appeal. William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, who drove separately and took a cellphone video of the fatal moments, got life with the possibility of parole after 30 years, when he will 82. This is outrageous punishment for three men who clearly had no intention of killing or even harming anyone. Race was at the heart of this; if Arbery had been white, this case would surely never have gone to trial. I wrote a detailed account of the trial and verdicts here. These life sentences have to be understood in context. The Satilla Shores neighborhood on the Georgia coast where the incident took...

The Surveillance and Political Spying Operations Highlighted by John Durham Today are the Tip of the IcebergFebruary 12, 2022 | Sundance | 238 Comments Against the latest court filings by John Durham, highlighting the tip of the political surveillance iceberg, I have been asked to re-post the deep dive into the totality of the scale of the iceberg.  I will add some of the latest information into the outline to show how it all connects. Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. Together they recalibrated the domestic surveillance capabilities, the internal spying systems, so that only their political opposition would be targeted. This point is where many people understandably get...

OP-EDDANIEL HOROWITZJanuary 26, 2022 Data, transparency, and surveillance. That is what has been missing from the greatest experiment on humans of all time throughout this pandemic. Now, military medical whistleblowers have come forward with what they claim is perhaps the most accurate and revealing data set on vaccine safety one could possibly find. The pro-pharma politicians and media claim the CDC’s pharmacosurveillance tool “VAERS” is not good enough to trigger investigations into the shots because anyone can supposedly submit a vaccine adverse event entry. Thus, all the concerning safety signals from VAERS are being ignored, even though that system was put in place as a consolation to the public for absolving vaccine manufacturers of liability. Well, now some military whistleblowers are coming forward to present data that, if verified, would signal extremely disturbing safety...
