Michael Snyder at Activist Post published information about the latest government verification system, which is perfect for surveillance at some future date. They always start these things as voluntary before they mandate them. In 2013, Maxine Waters spoke about massive civilian data collection. “The President has put in place an organization with the kind of […] The post Beware the Login.Gov Database and It’s Facial Recognition appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday spoke to black men in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, telling them he believed they weren’t supporting Vice President Kamala Harris because she’s a woman. Obama noted that former President Donald Trump is gaining ground with black male voters, and instead of trying to figure out why that is, Obama suggested it was due to misogyny. “My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said, according to NPR. He added that the lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.” Obama then disparaged voters who might vote for Trump or sit out the election. “And you are thinking about sitting out?” he said, according to the outlet. “Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.” Obama added that the “women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time.” “When we get in trouble and the system isn’t working for us, they’re the ones out there marching and protesting,” he added. Speaking directly to black male voters who may be on the fence between Harris and Trump, Obama claimed that Harris was for them, while Trump was against them. “On the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences,” Obama said, claiming that Harris supported policies that would help black communities. “And on the other side, you have someone who has consistently shown disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person.” Harris hasn’t spoken much about her policies, but what she has discussed – price controls, handing out tens of thousands of dollars for home down payments, and abortion – aren’t going to help black communities or any communities. The Daily Wire previously reported that price controls, criticized as a Soviet-era policy idea, lead to scarcer resources at higher costs – and Americans are already struggling with high costs due to the Biden-Harris administration’s policies. Similarly, giving people $25,000 to buy a home will increase the price of homes by $25,000, as economics don’t exist in a vacuum. Abortion has already been disastrous for the black community, leading to the loss of 360,000 black babies every single year, according to a 2015 congressional policy report. Harris’ strongest policy proposal – a border wall – was stolen from Trump, and the economy was much better when Trump was in office. These facts aren’t lost on black voters or many other voters.

So much work goes into preparing for hurricanes. This is especially true for particularly dangerous ones like Hurricane Milton. To best know what kind of storm we’ll be dealing with, there are a variety of methods that can be used before they’ve reached land. One way involves Hurricane Hunters — these folks fly planes straight into the storm. That said, not all methods involve humans getting that close to danger. Another helpful method uses drones from a company called Saildrone. They’re partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been instrumental in providing much-needed info on hurricanes for the past four years. Plus, the views it captures are absolutely breathtaking. The video below, which gives us a glimpse inside Hurricane Milton, provides the perfect example. @weather Saildrone and #NOAA released footage captured from inside Hurricane #Milton in the Gulf of Mexico #weatherchannel #florida #weathertok #hurricanemilton #hurricane #update #news #eyeofthestorm #saildrone #crazy #viral #insaneview #fyp #foryou #weather #storm #ocean ♬ original sound – The Weather Channel TV “We’re able to collect barometric data like barometric pressure, wind strength, ocean salinity,” Robin Dean, VP of Program Delivery at Saildrone explains. “Those are very important pieces of information for scientists to understand the rapid intensification of hurricanes.” In order to obtain this info, these drones have to be built to withstand even the most intense hurricanes. But whatever effort it takes is absolutely worth it. This is true, in part, because it allows the remote pilots who control them to stay safe.

They go out there and they take a beating,” Robin says. “You can see under the drone is a keel. That keeps the fin below the drone is weighted with lead. And so, the wind that the sail drone experiences above the surface is counteracted by that big lead fin below the drone.” Powerful Drones Provide Us With Breathtaking Views From Inside Hurricane Milton While the unique views we’ve been getting of Hurricane Milton have been amazing, what’s most important is the data these excursions provide. “We recognize these hurricanes are very destructive to the people,” Robin says. “We hope the data we collect is powerful for scientists to develop ideas on how we can reduce the risk for damage and loss of life.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
