watch Mrs Maisel.  He's a featured character and it's a beautifully written show.  The heroine is beautiful with very cool clothes.

You two fashionistas should get a room where you can discuss costumer design on Ms. Maisel.

IT’S THE PHRASE OF LIARS: 

 

“Misinformation” is the vocabulary of a culture that has lost the ability to discuss “truth.”

The appalling media campaign to bow to government censors

by Jonathan Turley

 

As a long-standing free speech advocate, the last few years have been alarming and, frankly, depressing.

 

The censorship efforts of the government are, unfortunately, not new. However, what is new is the support of the media and the Democratic Party in such censorship.

 

That was on display on various channels after the recent opinion finding that the Biden administration had violated the First Amendment in "the most massive attack against free speech in United States history." However, the New York Times immediately warned that the outbreak of free speech could "curtail efforts to combat disinformation."

Biden officials lose court fight to reverse ban on Big Tech contact

by Kaelan Deese

 

A federal judge in Louisiana rejected a request from the government to delay an order he imposed on Independence Day that banned federal agencies from communicating with social media companies. The Justice Department will likely ask the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene in the case after U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty on Monday refused to pause his July 4 nationwide injunction that significantly limits how Biden administration officials can communicate with social media companies, according to a single-page filing.

And they made a big deal about Michelle Obama touching the Queen when she initiated the contact.

These silly rules are rules for The Queen/King's subjects, not for us! I think we may have fought a war over who should be considered British subjects ...

Much of the mainstream media remains in lockstep, parroting everything Biden would like us to believe:

 

He's fully compos mentis. The border is secure. Kamala Harris is doing a 'great job'. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a complete success. Title IX shouldn't be just for women and women are totally fine with that.

 

And if they're not, they should be, because no president has ever been more in favor of diversity, equity and inclusion.

 

In fact, these should be among the top criteria for hiring at NASA and the United States military.

 

There's more, per Biden: The economy's doing great, even as average Americans struggle to fill their tanks. As 401(k)s lost around 23 per cent in 2022. As the country is further divided by woke-ism, virtue-signaling and orthodoxy of thought.

 

And believe him when he says that no one understands the importance of family more.

This video is a cameraman doing his job while what I think is a politician lies right in front of the whole nation(Canada). I appreciate camera man doing this especially since it might cost him his job.

On his face, I think that that would not be true. There are a lot of right wingers that are moving to Florida because they love the policies. They still have nowhere close to the population of California, which in essence is it’s own country.

Perfect analogy by Greenwald in last tweet.

 

As I've said, journalists becoming the leading agitators for state censorship is like cardiologists leading a campaign for more smoking.

I don't know if Lancet is considered a reliable source but this is pathetic. This kind of dishonesty is why people don't trust "experts" anymore, they leave out all of the real info to make a point.

I just scanned the study.  This figure is deep in the results section and the axis is clearly labelled.  Anyone reading the findings on page 1 of the study would know that 10X more people died from cold than heat.  And I doubt anyone with a science background skipped page 1 to go right to this figure

Findings

"Across the 854 urban areas in Europe, we estimated an annual excess of 203 620 (empirical 95% CI 180 882–224 613) deaths attributed to cold and 20 173 (17 261–22 934) attributed to heat. These corresponded to age-standardised rates of 129 (empirical 95% CI 114–142) and 13 (11–14) deaths per 100 000 person-years. Results differed across Europe and age groups, with the highest effects in eastern European cities for both cold and heat."

 

You cons try so hard and fail.  It's pathetic.  You don't trust experts because you don't like what they have to say.

Do you really believe climate change is not a threat?  in Fla?  any idea what the temp of your dashboard would be today if you parked your car in the sun for 4 hours?

Virtually every day you post something that makes me wonder….what the f$@k? You do realize that California is literally THREE TIMES the land mass of Florida right? Please say yes. Please.

Yes my car was 94 degrees when I got back into at noon. As for the study if my students made a table with two separate scales when comparing the same concept I would make them redo it properly. But in this case the person creating the table did it with intention. So please tell me what an innocent intention could be for changing the scale on each side?

The article lied and said that people were leaving Florida as fast as they were coming which is not just untrue, but stupid. My "neighborhood" of which I was one of the first 50 in 2003 is going to hit 50k in a few months. The comparison you are making is basically stating that their lie is ok since this unrelated statement is correct.

to highlight the differences among various countries.  Some people are actually worried about climate change and want to know how many people are dying from extreme heat and where.  It might be important to know.  The conclusion of the study was clearly stated at the beginning in the abstract.  Everyone with any experience reading journals reads the abstract first - to see if it's worth your time.  I doubt any of your students have written a 20+ page paper with a bibliography and citations throughout.

Agree, they should be taken with the same huge grain of salt. 

 

The massive difference between Fox and the liberal media is you don't really see any former IC community contributors spewing propaganda on Fox.

 

Brennan, Clapper, Fusion Ken Dilanian, Frank Figiuluzzi are comically awful leftist shills.

The reason to change the scale on each graph to highlight the differences between the countries? That is unrelated to the scale but you did give me a reason.
