State and Federal Governments Impeding Hurricane Relief

It’s still a bit too early to call this a “cure”, but several clinical trials are returning exciting results.

Google appears to have adopted a “yes, we did it—so what?” attitude after it was busted thwarting an ad tied to a video in favor of former President Donald Trump while hypocritically allowing similar content featuring Vice President Kamala Harris. Google-owned YoTube admitted to demonetizing an ad launched by popular entrepreneur and motivational speaker Grant Cardone on one of his pro-Trump videos. However, the tech giant gladly approved revenue for the same ad when it appeared on his content featuring Kamala Harris, Fox Business reported on Monday. In remarks to the outlet, Google predictably fell back on the familiar excuse tech platforms often use when accused of censoring Republicans: it was an “error” that had been “resolved weeks ago.” Cardone, who has millions of followers across several social media accounts, first called out the blatant bias on Instagram and X posted on Sept. 5 and captioned, “Anyone who doesn’t think election interference is real, maybe this will change your mind.” In the clip, he quipped, “Google, you guys are nasty people.” WHAT A JOKE ? public service announcement - if you run ads featuring Donald Trump they will get taken down, but if you run ads with Kamala Harris… approved !! Anyone who doesn’t think election interference is real, maybe this will change your mind. pic.twitter.com/9JQSuMQbq7 — Grant Cardone (@GrantCardone) September 5, 2024 The censorship when Cardone launched an ad campaign to drive traffic from his eponymous channel—boasting 2.65 million followers—to his new page, 10X Studies. YouTube “immediately” flagged the ad as ineligible for revenue because Cardone’s original channel featured a pro-Trump video that allegedly violated the platform’s policies on campaign-related content. The flagged video, titled “Donald Trump Predicts NYC Chaos,” featured an image of Trump standing behind an American flag. In response to Google’s ad rejection and to test the platform’s potential bias, Cardone quickly revised the pro-Trump video to focus on Harris, with a new caption reading, “Kamala’s Capital Gain Tax Will Destroy Housing in America.” Cardone then resubmitted the ad for YouTube’s approval—and what happened next was jaw-dropping. YouTube swiftly greenlit the ad, allowing it to run on the Harris video uninterrupted for nearly two weeks. A Google spokesperson conceded that both videos “should have been disapproved because the advertiser has not completed our election advertising verification process.” The spokesperson inexplicably affirmed that the “second ad was initially approved in error and has since been blocked.” Google also mentioned that its “policies are designed to treat all advertisers equally, regardless of political affiliation. Occasionally our systems make mistakes, and we correct them as soon as we spot them." This is not the first time Google blamed censorship on an error. In June, Google banned the educational non-profit PragerU from its Google Play store amid the release of the documentary Dear Infidels: A Warning to America. In response, the tech giant claimed this was an error. In March 2024, YouTube fixed an inaccurate pro-abortion label on a pro-life video posted by the Alliance Defiance Freedom, and in 2021, cited a “mistake” after censoring the Ron Paul Institute’s channel.  A new Media Research Center study revealed that Google forced Americans searching for the Trump campaign’s website to first navigate through leftist news outlets, prompting the former president to pledge legal action in a potential second administration. Google’s claims of impartiality are undercut by numerous studies conducted by MRC, which have revealed the tech giant's sordid interference in American elections on behalf of Democrats, including Harris.  Specifically, 19 MRC studies have repeatedly exposed Google’s election-meddling censorship between the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 general. MRC President Brent Bozell challenged Google CEO Sundar Pichai on March 26 to discredit any of the studies, giving him until April 9 to respond. As of Oct. 2, Pichai has not replied.

Click to Skip Ahead Most Popular Cat Names Male Names Female Names Other Great Names There are many people who like to use naming conventions when naming their pets. Some people like to use a specific letter (like B names for Boston Terriers), and others like to stick to a certain theme, like sports stars. Naming conventions are a fun way to bond with your pets and can be a great conversation starter. If you are someone looking for a name that starts with the letter E, you are looking for an uncommon sort of name. Names that start with E are less common than people realize, and the names are more unique than other letters. That makes it a perfect letter to mine for ideas for the perfect name for your cat. Here are 80 of the most popular cat names that start with the letter E. Most Popular Cat Names That Start With the Letter E These are the most popular names for cats that start with the letter E. These names were derived from copious amounts of research and categorizing to identify trends in the pet naming world. Each one of these names has made the list of the most popular cat names in the past two years. Some of the most popular naming trends are based on television shows, music, and traditional names. Image Credit: Julija Sulkovska, Shutterstock Male Names Here are five of the most popular male cat names. Some were taken from rover.com’s Top Cat Names of 2023 based on names submitted by readers. Other names were taken from cats.com’s list of most popular cat names starting with E, in which the names are voted on by readers. So, keep in mind that for the cats.com names, the number of “loves” for any name may change, and the numbers given reflect the number of “loves” at the time of writing. You are welcome to go to cats.com and vote for your favorite, too! 1. Eric Names inspired by The Little Mermaid were popular in 2023, and the name Eric was up 47%, according to Rover. Eric (Erik) also proved to be popular on cats.com’s list, with 124 “loves” at the time of this writing. 2. Eddie According to Rover’s list, names inspired by 90s grunge were increasingly popular. The name Eddie increased by 6%, likely as a nod to Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. But Eddie is also a character in the hit show Stranger Things, which is likely why it was popular on cats.com’s list of names as well. 3. Eamon Now going solely to cats.com’s list, the name Eamon was the most popular with readers by a landslide, with 304 “loves”. Eamon is an Irish name meaning “wealthy protector”, a perfect name for a kitty that always has your back. Image Credit: Elena Loginova, Shutterstock 4. Edvard The second most popular name on cats.com was Edvard with 192 “loves”. Edvard is a name of Scandinavian origin but has a similar meaning to Eamon. Edvard means “wealthy guardian”, and is the Scandinavian form of Edward, the third most popular name choice with 190 “loves”. 5. Earl Earl was actually the 4th most popular name on cats.com, but we’re mentioning it since Edvard and Edward are so close. The name Earl had 182 “loves”. It’s the perfect name for a grey kitty (like Earl Grey tea), but it can also be added in front of another name for your cat to give them a regal name (i.e., Earl Fuzzypaws).

Despite what mainstream news outlets say, JD Vance crushed his debate against Tim Walz, who floundered when trying to defend the Biden administration’s destructive policies. Tulsi Gabbard confirms that this is true. - YouTube www.youtube.com “Anyone who watched with an open mind sincerely interested in listening to what both JD Vance and Tim Walz had to say probably came away with a very different and positive impression of JD Vance as well as the policies that he and President Trump are putting forward,” she tells Glenn Beck. “I think JD did a fantastic job in talking about these issues in a way that I could relate to, that were very real and really reflect the fact that both he and President Trump are listening to the American people. You contrast that with what we hear from Kamala Harris, what we heard from Tim Walz, who had a really, really tough job tonight trying to defend Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's disastrous policies,” she adds, noting that both Biden and Harris “are so arrogantly dismissive of the reality of the struggles of so many Americans across the country.” Glenn then asks if there was a singular moment during the debate that might “crystallize things one way or the other” for the undecided voter. “I honestly think that there were a lot of those moments on every one of the major issues,” Gabbard says. However, there was one moment that stood out among the rest. Toward the end of the debate when the subject of censorship was broached, Gabbard felt that the moderators — who, again, were left-leaning — did not devote the time or attention to what is “a very serious issue.” “We have hard evidence that [censorship] has been taking place” under the Biden administration, she points out. “You have Tim Walz himself who has said that free speech in the First Amendment is a privilege and that it does not apply to misinformation and disinformation and hate speech.” “The thing that he and Kamala Harris are not telling the American people is that they believe they're the only ones who get to decide what is misinformation and disinformation [and hate speech],” she tells Glenn. Had she been one of the moderators at the debate, Gabbard says she would have asked, “Would you then support banning Hillary Clinton's hateful, offensive speech in labeling me a traitor to the country that I love and I'm willing to lay my life down for?” “That was deeply offensive, and it was also 100% false, so their double standard is very real. They want to protect speech that they like, and they want to ban speech that they don't like,” she explains. “JD was on point when he said fundamentally we cannot have a Democratic Republic unless we protect every American's right to free speech and encourage this vibrant marketplace of ideas where we can debate issues that are important to us, where more speech always wins, and the best ideas will rise to the top.” To hear more of the conversation, watch the clip above.

San Jose State University's women's volleyball schedule continues to get shorter as yet another team has opted not to play against the SJSU team.The University of Wyoming is the latest school to take a forfeit loss against SJSU, and while no specific reasons have been given by any program, Wyoming is the third school to do so since it became public that SJSU has a male player on its team.The SJSU team has a 6'1" male athlete named Blaire Fleming, born Brayden, and is having the best season in program history. The team is off to a 9-0 start overall, 2-0 in the Mountain West Conference.The Wyoming Cowgirls join Boise State and Southern Utah as schools that have decided to take a loss rather than play against the team with the obvious advantage.'It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics.'"After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San José State University," the team said in a statement. "Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming."The news is an about-face in the school's stance. Just a week ago, it was reported that Wyoming would indeed play SJSU. Though the schools have not given an official reason for their forfeits, Fleming's own teammate even said the reasons were obvious."I think we all know the reason the games are canceled," senior SJSU player Brooke Slusser told Blaze News.Slusser said that she fully supports the decisions of the other teams not to play her squad, adding, "If I was in their shoes, I'd probably do the same thing."Wyoming's governor, Mark Gordon, also said he supports the school's decision to forfeit the match."It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics," the governor wrote on X. — (@) Following Wyoming's forfeit, SJSU provided a statement to OutKick about the situation:"It is disappointing that our SJSU student athletes, who are in full compliance with NCAA and Mountain West rules and regulations, are being denied opportunities to compete," the school said via email. SJSU added that the school is committed to supporting its athletes and is dedicated to providing an "inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment."However, according to Slusser, the school has not been very supportive of its female volleyball players and instead has kept its focus on its only transgender player."We've had meetings, and it's a lot of just checking in on Blaire. ... We were like 'what about us?'" Slusser said. "It's mostly just saying you can't be the person to ... identify Blaire's gender identity. 'Blaire needs to do that for himself.'"Slusser then explained, "Everyone above you is telling you you shouldn't be talking for Blaire, you need to make sure the other person is okay; and [the management] is not thinking about, 'Are we okay?'" Slusser has joined a lawsuit that asks the NCAA to stop allowing male athletes to compete against females and to keep them out of female locker rooms. The lawsuit stems from women's aquatic competitions that included Lia Thomas, the "trans woman" who dominated the 2022 NCAA swimming championships.Like Blaze News?

Some of the latest AMD motherboards can only run a PCIe 5.0 gaming SSD at a fraction of its full speed, according to reports, including one purportedly from an engineer at SSD maker Crucial. The problem appears to be the motherboards only run the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs at ancient PCIe 1.0 speeds after waking from sleep mode or restarting, which isn’t just a bit slower, but massively slower. After all, PCIe 5.0 is basically 16x the speed of PCIe 1.0. When you’ve paid a large sum of cash to get the best gaming SSD possible, you’re going to want it to be running at full speed on your new AMD system, so this is a big problem. As a case in point, the Crucial T705 is the fastest SSD we’ve ever tested, going above 14GB/s, but you can’t even get more than 1GB/s out of a 4x PCIe 1.0 interface.

Though last year's Resident Evil 4 remake and this year's reworking of Silent Hill 2 provide new ways to experience two classics, it's usually more exciting to check out entirely unique games created in their era's school of design rather than revisit an updated version of the past. That's made recent survival horror projects like Signalis, Conscription, Crow Country, and the upcoming Post Trauma such good choices for audiences looking to try out less familiar games this Halloween season. Unfortunately, Post Trauma, the last of those mentioned, has just received a last minute delay, postponing its launch from the original October 29 date.
