There's no question that Earth is an unbelievably beautiful and enigmatic planet with the unique capability to allow all kinds of life to flourish. Its secrets and complexities have baffled humans since we first began to ponder our existence and never ceases to amaze us to this day. Although Earth may be our home, there's still so much that we don't fully understand and plenty of mind-blowing... Source

Amid the chaos of pre-election America, major information has surfaced, revealing internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). This UK-based group, led by British political strategist Morgan McSweeney, outlined a clear goal in their agenda: “Kill Musk’s Twitter.” The documents make it clear that the CCDH is targeting Elon Musk’s social media platform with full force. McSweeney, who helped guide Keir Starmer to victory in the UK, is now involved in US politics, advising Kamala Harris as she navigates the upcoming election, raising serious questions about the CCDH’s reach and motives. CCDH May 31st agenda, above a note about meeting “with [Senator Amy] Klobuchar’s team.”Now, if you’re wondering why a think tank led by a man who helped turn Keir Starmer into the British Prime Minister is so dead set on smashing up a social media platform thousands of miles across the pond, you’re not alone. But the CCDH isn’t just any ragtag team of keyboard warriors. These guys are plugged into Washington power circles like an iPhone into a dodgy charger, with ties so tight to the Biden-Harris campaign, that they might as well be writing the tweets. And with McSweeney now advising Kamala Harris, well, let’s just say the plot thickens. Related: Behind Closed Doors: The UK and US Plot Global Speech Crackdown Kamala’s British Wingman Meet Morgan McSweeney, a political operative you’ve never heard of—unless you’ve been glued to British politics or, for some inexplicable reason, a hardcore Labour Party fan in America. According to a new report from The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket News (which is worth reading in full), McSweeney, the brains behind Starmer’s rise to the UK premiership, is now advising Kamala Harris on how to go from “Where’s she been?” to “First female President.” According to the report, McSweeney is credited with piloting Starmer’s victory against the Conservatives, beating Rishi Sunak. But McSweeney isn’t stopping at Downing Street. No, he’s set his sights on America. And what’s more American than advising Kamala Harris while also leading an organization that’s trying to vaporize Elon Musk’s $44 billion free speech project? After all, nothing screams “Democracy!” like a transatlantic political hit squad targeting Musk’s favorite free speech toy. Musk, Misinformation, and Tax Breaks Let’s not forget that the CCDH is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit—a status they might want to cling to tighter than a senator to their PAC funding. According to the IRS, CCDH could lose its golden goose tax exemption if “a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation.” And yet, somehow, according to the report, “Trigger EU and UK regulatory action” is the third item on their annual to-do list. And to make things even murkier, CCDH has hired Lot Sixteen, a firm known for lobbying congressional offices on—you guessed it—“misinformation.” Nothing screams integrity like a supposedly neutral non-profit hiring a lobbying firm to bend the ears of politicians in the world’s most corrupt zip code. It’s almost poetic, if by poetry you mean a collection of contradictory nonsense wrapped in a PR-friendly bow. Elon Musk reacts to the new report. So, what does the CCDH’s fearless leader, Imran Ahmed, have to say about all this? Well, nothing, actually. Despite repeated requests from The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket, Ahmed—another British political operative welded to McSweeney’s Labour Together cabal—has clammed up. You can almost hear the sounds of frantic shredding from CCDH’s London offices. Meanwhile, Senator Amy Klobuchar, who’s been pushing bills to regulate online “misinformation,” isn’t exactly rushing to answer questions either. And why would she? The CCDH’s plans dovetail nicely with her efforts to wrangle Big Tech under the guise of safeguarding democracy. Who cares if a few pesky details—like the potential illegalities of foreign interference or questionable nonprofit activities—get in the way? We’ve got elections to win here! It’s almost endearing to see the British influence clawing its way back into American politics. Once upon a time, they tried to impose taxes on tea; now they’re sending think tanks to tackle free speech. If you’re wondering why a bunch of Brits are interested in who gets to say what on American soil, well, let’s just say the empire never really dies—it just switches to online servers. The CCDH, that shiny bastion of truth-squelching, made headlines when they tried to silence Substack writers like Alex Berenson and Dr. Joseph Mercola, daring to spout the unthinkable—vaccine “misinformation.” In a world where dissent is dangerous, what’s a good digital inquisition without a few heretics to burn at the stake? But Substack threw a wrench into CCDH’s plans with the audacity to say, “No, thanks. We’re not here to take orders from the mob.” Their exact words? “At Substack, we don’t make moderation decisions based on public pressure.” But the battle’s far from over. If at first, you don’t succeed in turning the internet into a digital police state, try again across the pond. CCDH’s new plan for American soil? Start by dismantling the platforms of opponents like Elon Musk—because if there’s one thing that irks the establishment more than free speech, it’s a billionaire who buys the bird app and starts letting people talk again. To do that, CCDH is deploying the tried-and-true tactic of hitting where it hurts: ad revenues. It’s like the financial version of waterboarding—slow, steady, and guaranteed to make you reconsider your life choices. But they’re not stopping with the world’s richest troll. CCDH is also pushing for new regulations that would make Europe’s draconian Digital Services Act and the UK’s paternalistic Online Safety Act look like child’s play. Under these laws, an “independent digital regulator” (read: Orwellian overlord) would have the power to decide what counts as “harmful content” and hand out penalties to any platform that steps out of line. Nothing says “freedom” like letting bureaucrats decide what’s dangerous for you to read. The Lobbying Blitz: CCDH’s Capitol Hill Campaign Naturally, CCDH hasn’t come to the US to play nice. With Labour Together and McSweeney’s as their comrades in censorship, they’ve launched an all-out lobbying blitz on Capitol Hill. Their shiny new toy? The STAR framework is a friendly-sounding acronym that would essentially give them the ability to enforce platform censorship through government regulation. Because if you can’t silence your enemies with social media bans, why not use Congress as your personal speech police? And don’t think for a second they’re not riding the wave of the latest moral panic. Following the riots that were oh-so-conveniently blamed on disinformation (because personal responsibility is so last century), CCDH and its allies are positioning themselves as the solution to America’s pesky free speech problem. In fact, across the Atlantic, under the would-be Prime Minister Keir Starmer, UK regulators are already sharpening their knives, threatening severe actions against any platform that refuses to fall in line with their censorship demands. You can almost hear them sharpening the guillotine from here. Of course, all of this is framed under the noble guise of “safety.” We’ve heard it before: “We’re just trying to protect people from harm.” But when you peel back the layers of sanctimonious rhetoric, what you’re left with is a cold, calculated effort to control the narrative. If it’s not coming from the approved sources, it’s dangerous. If it challenges the establishment, it’s misinformation. And if you don’t fall in line? Well, they’ve got a regulation for that. The Real Endgame: Speech Control Let’s not pretend this is about safety, though. This is about power. CCDH’s push for stricter regulations, under the guise of protecting the public from harmful content, is nothing more than a naked attempt to control the flow of information. They’ve already tried it in the UK, and now they’re bringing their act to the US, hoping to use government muscle to do what public pressure alone couldn’t. And the implications are staggering. If groups like CCDH succeed in shaping US regulations to mirror the Digital Services Act or the Online Safety Act, we’re looking at a future where platforms are forced to police speech in real-time, handing over the power to determine what’s “acceptable” to an unelected body of bureaucrats and activists. It’s not about misinformation—it’s about control. And once they’ve got that control, you can bet they won’t give it up easily. At the end of the day, the CCDH and its allies are playing a long game. They don’t just want to silence a few Substack writers or take away Elon Musk’s ad revenue—they want to reshape the entire landscape of online discourse. So next time you see CCDH and their cohorts talking about the dangers of misinformation and harmful content, remember: It’s not about safety. It’s about control. Because in the digital age, whoever controls the narrative controls everything. Read the full report here.

Oh My: Trump Beats Harris to the Rogan Podcast

Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) gave a stark warning to Americans about the rising threat of censorship by the dystopian left. Santorum joined the Oct. 21 edition of Newsmax TV’s American Agenda where he blasted the left for targeting Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino for daring to promote a ‘Vote for Trump’ sign. Constantino displayed a ‘Vote for Trump’ sign following the July assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump atop his business’ building. Following the display being erected, Amsterdam, NY Mayor Michael Cinquanti (D) attempted to sue for the sign to be removed, ultimately losing the case. “Americans better wake up,” Santorum exclaimed.  ICYMI: Pro-Free Speech CEO Tells Glenn Beck Why He Lit Up the Sky for Trump “This is really typical of Leftist regimes all throughout the world,” Santorum said in response to the recent attempt to diminish Constanito’s attempt to express support for former president Trump and exercise his First Amendment right. “All of these left-wing socialist countries have one thing in common, they don't like people objecting to what they do.”  Santorum continued to compare current leftists in America to the radical socialists of Cuba and Venezuela. “When you hear Republicans and me and others talk about how the left is no different from the left in other countries,” he said. Santorum continued: “If you look at young leftists in America, less than half believe in the First Amendment anymore, they believe the government should be able to curb speech.”  Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech, and equal footing for conservatives.

For the first time in 57 years of existence, I voted. Yes, Friday I participated in America’s political process. I cast ballots for presidential candidate Donald Trump and incumbent U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). It took less than 10 minutes. I’m glad I did. For years, I’ve taken great satisfaction in not sullying my reputation by choosing a side in a corrupt political game. I didn't have much respect for Democrats or Republicans. I still don’t. The political parties strike me as pro wrestling opponents, pitted against each other by a handful of nameless and faceless Vince McMahon-type puppet masters. Barack Obama struck me as indistinguishable from George W. Bush, the same as Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. I viewed voting as an admission that another man controlled some aspect of my fate. I couldn’t do that. I didn’t do it. Democrats love to say that 'democracy' is on the ballot. I say freedom is on the ballot. Even in 2016, when Donald Trump and the MAGA movement captured my imagination, I abstained. I liked my “brand” as an objective, non-voting journalist. In 2020, I sat out for similar reasons. I didn’t want to attach any part of my identity to politics. I want to be judged as a Christian, not as a conservative or Republican. So what changed? January 6, 2021. The coordinated effort by legacy media to frame the unarmed protesters at the Capitol as “insurrectionists” infuriated me. I knew instantly that the framing was an intentional ploy to justify the incarceration of President Trump’s most passionate supporters. I didn’t know on that day that I would be voting in the next presidential election cycle, but I knew that I would have to take action to alleviate the suffering of the brave men and women who traveled to Washington, D.C., to express a level of frustration that I shared. I voted last week because I want President Trump to pardon those political prisoners. The desire to see those men and women set free helped me understand the consequences of this election cycle. Democrats love to say that “democracy” is on the ballot. I say freedom is on the ballot. Common sense is on the ballot. The U.S. Constitution is on the ballot. Merit is on the ballot. The nuclear family is on the ballot. Beyond the J6 prisoners, I voted for Trump because I want America to move away from the ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion. DEI is the enemy of merit. DEI is the leftist plot to replace fathers and families with symbols. Democrats believe symbols are more important than fathers. Their worldview believes that kids need to see black people, brown people, gay people, and women in high-profile positions and that will inspire the next generation to greatness. That’s why a so-called black woman who grew up in Canada was picked to be the next iteration of Barack Obama, a half-black man who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia. Kamala Harris is a symbol. She’s not a leader. The Democrats believe breaking a “glass ceiling” develops and inspires young people. I believe fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, uncles and aunts inspire and develop kids.We don’t need symbols. We need fathers. We don’t need more black NFL head coaches. We don’t need more black White House press secretaries. We don’t need more gay secretaries of transportation. We don’t need more Rachel Levines, the man pretending to be a woman and serving as U.S. assistant secretary of health. We don’t need more men playing women’s sports. We need more fathers, more intact nuclear families. We need to end DEI. We need to reject the notion that installing symbols to meet DEI quotas is some form of progress. It’s not. It’s a gimmick to normalize a handful of elites installing their unqualified puppets in positions of influence. Black Americans desperately need the restoration of the nuclear family and the patriarchy. Democrats and their puppet Kamala Harris promote the idea that single black women and gay black women can develop and nurture kids without a father. They point to Barack Obama or NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson as symbols of what the matriarchy can produce. Meanwhile, prisons and OnlyFans accounts are overcrowded with young men and women with unreconciled daddy issues. I voted because I want the Trump administration to free the January 6 prisoners and end DEI.

The Caitlin Clark effect is the term used to describe the skyrocketing ticket sales, viewership, game attendance, and economic impact the Iowa native has had on women’s basketball. It started in college when Clark played for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and now it’s followed her to the WNBA. With the touch of what seems like a magic wand, the league, having been inconsequential for years, is now widely popular. Since Clark was drafted by the Indiana Fever, attendance across the WNBA has shot up 50% and ESPN ratings doubled since last year. One would think that the WNBA would show gratitude toward Clark, who has drawn the public eye toward the league as a whole, but no – the legend responsible for viralizing women’s basketball is demonized by the very players, coaches, and commentators who should be thanking her. “They get a gift sent to them called Caitlin Clark. She is sprinkling magic all around the WNBA, making a sport that no one likes likeable and watchable, and instead of showing any gratitude towards Caitlin Clark, they have sat out to destroy Caitlin Clark,” says Jason Whitlock. Why the ingratitude? For starters, “she's not black and she's not lesbian,” so she doesn’t “fit the demographics” the woke league wants to elevate. Clark has “played this brilliantly,” though, says Jason. “She has said nothing; she hasn't been aggressive with any of these people; she hasn't done anything.” Having nothing to pin against her, Clark’s critics and adversaries have opted to “complain about her fans” instead. Clark has brought in a demographic that Jason says has long been uninterested in women’s basketball – heterosexual people. “What they're really saying is we don't want heterosexual men and women and their children coming to our sex cult,” says Jason. “They don’t want the demographics inside the arena to change.” “So rather than have this league turn a profit and … begin the process of being able to stand on its own two feet, the alphabet mafia is throwing a riot and a temper tantrum, and it's being very hostile towards Caitlin Clark because they'd like to break her and ruin her and destroy her so that they [can] install … preferably a black lesbian woman as the face of this league,” Jason predicts. “In their delusional minds,” Caitlin Clark is undeserving of the notoriety and attention because “black lesbian women built [the WNBA]” and should therefore be the ones on the pedestal.

In a wild police video out of Georgia last week, cops are seen ramming a car that was driven by a female armed robbery suspect — and she actually tried to run away after the jaw-dropping crash on an interstate. Atlanta police said the department's Auto Crimes Enforcement Unit on Wednesday assisted the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office in locating a vehicle and an armed robbery suspect accused of stealing an elderly woman's cell phone. The suspect quickly gets out of the vehicle and makes a run for it, hopping over the freeway divider. Atlanta police said officers found the vehicle and the suspect. Video shows them catching up to the suspect in a car wash: Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot And an officer is even seen drawing his gun as police tell her "hands up!" and "don't drive away!" Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot But the suspect backed out of the car wash bay and fled from police, after which a pursuit ensued. WAGA-TV said the pursuit continued on Interstate 285. Atlanta police said officers utilized a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit. Indeed, video shows a patrol vehicle hitting the left bumper of the suspect's car, which spins out and travels backward along the left shoulder and freeway divider until it comes to a stop. Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot The suspect quickly gets out of the vehicle and makes a run for it, hopping over the freeway divider. Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot But police do the same and quickly surround and take the suspect into custody. Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot Police said the suspect was identified as 36-year-old Jenee Johnson. Image source: Atlanta police video screenshot Police said the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office was the arresting agency and charged Johnson with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, theft by receiving stolen property, and fleeing or attempting to elude police. She also was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon or first-offender probationer. You can view police dashcam and bodycam video of the chase and arrest below.

When asked about meetings with Democratic prosecutors and politicians during a House Judiciary Committee deposition, Wade failed to recall the details.
