James Talarico’s Lesbian Minister Just Outed Him – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

EXCERPT:

For weeks, Republicans have accused Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) of faking a rightward shift on transgender issues to win a statewide race. Now the public doesn’t have to take our word for it.

Why? His own pastor just confirmed it.

An undercover journalist for the Daily Wire caught Rev. Babs Miller, a “minister” at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Talarico’s longtime “church,” on hidden camera discussing exactly what we’ve suspected all along.

Talarico has drawn Republican criticism for his professed love for “trans children,” claiming that there are seven genders, and that “God is non-binary.”

Miller knows who Talarico is, and isn’t buying his attempt to rebrand himself.

“He’s getting some advice that I don’t think he should be following.” She predicted he’d drop the act the moment he’s safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was.”

That’s the whole scam, according to the guy’s own “minister.”

Eastman Asks SCOTUS To Stop California’s ‘Politicized’ Barfare– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Constitutional attorney John Eastman is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the California Bar’s “politicized” efforts to strip him of his ability to practice law.

The Claremont Institute senior fellow filed a petition on Friday requesting that the high court take up and hear arguments in his case, Eastman v. State Bar of California. The matter deals with the Golden State’s recent decision to strip Eastman of his law license over legal advice he gave President Trump in the latter’s 2020 election challenges.

As characterized by the left-wing States United Democracy Center, the California Bar “alleged Eastman tried to ‘plan, promote, and assist then-President Trump in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states.’” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman noted, however, that “this had nothing to do with ‘ethics’ or even ‘crime,’ and a review of the 11 charges the bar filed against Eastman shows they boil down to one thing: punishing Eastman for representing Trump and raising legitimate questions about the 2020 election results.”

The California Supreme Court affirmed Eastman’s disbarment in April. The decision came after the constitutional scholar was forced to endure repeated antagonism from the lower court judge tasked with overseeing his trial.

Data Center Boom Could Supercharge Blackouts Nationwide By 2030, Pennsylvania Regulators Warn– dailycaller.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

America’s AI gold rush could soon drive the nation’s largest power grid to blackouts.

Pennsylvania regulators warn that power-hungry facilities are arriving faster than new generation. Pennsylvania could experience as many as 13 loss-of-load events per year by 2030 if more data centers connect than currently anticipated and no new plants come online, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) Chairman Stephen DeFrank warned.

DeFrank’s statements are based on a recent PAPUC analysis assessing electricity within the state.

“Pennsylvania is at an energy crossroads,” DeFrank said in a press release. “Data center development brings significant opportunities, but that growth cannot come at the expense of the families and businesses that already depend on reliable and affordable electric service.”

The PAPUC-commissioned analysis found that data centers are a major driver of the tightening power supply across PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest regional transmission organization. Electricity demand is rising as older power plants shut down and new generation struggles to come online quickly enough, according to the report, which was prepared by Synapse Energy Economics and other consultants.

The analysis modeled several possible futures for the grid. Under its baseline scenario, which uses PJM’s 2026 electricity demand forecast, the grid could experience the equivalent of about 5.9 instances every 10 years in which electricity supply falls short of demand by 2030, according to the report. Researchers said the increase was mainly driven by the large amount of new electricity demand expected from data centers.

To call euthanasia a slippery slope would be an understatement.

Euthanasia typically goes a little something like this. First, the powers that be claim it will solely be used for the terminally ill who are moments away from dying, but the patient is in unbearable pain. This then moves to patients with illnesses with no known cures. The bureaucracy then moves on to the mentally ill. And in the Netherlands, officials have gone so far down the slippery slope they are now applauding the first state-sanctioned killing of a TODDLER. YES. LET THAT SINK IN. And no, the young child was not terminally ill, according to reports.

According to Decision Magazine:

A Dutch review committee has determined that the decision to euthanize a nearly 2-year-old toddler with severe disabilities was “handled well”—while multiple Dutch doctors involved in the case opposed the decision, arguing the child could have improved under different medication.

To call this evil would not even begin to describe it.

The toddler, whose gender has not been disclosed, was the first child to be killed under an expanded euthanasia law in the Netherlands that extended the age limit of euthanasia to include children aged 1 to 12, if their parents agree.

Saudi Arabia Threatens Retaliation After Iran-Backed Houthis Targeted Mecca with Drone Attack– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

Saudi Arabia accused Iran-backed Houthi rebels of launching a one-way attack drone toward Mecca, prompting the kingdom to declare the security of Islam’s holiest sites a “red line” as the escalating Gulf conflict places growing pressure on critical global energy routes.

The Saudi-led coalition said the drone was intercepted while heading toward Mecca and warned that it would take “necessary and deterrent measures” in response.

“The security of the Two Holy Mosques and the pilgrims is a red line, and the Joint Forces Command of the coalition will not hesitate to take the necessary and deterrent measures against the Terrorist Houthi Militia,” the kingdom said.

The Houthis denied targeting Mecca, with Hazem al-Assad of the group’s politburo calling the accusation a “worn-out lie.”

The incident comes as the conflict increasingly threatens Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure and two of the world’s most strategically important maritime chokepoints.

What do you do when you hate an American President so much? Well, the Carney government has decided to fight Trump at all costs, including the destruction of the local economy. Sound crazy to you? It does to me, but that’s what passes for resistance to Trump up there

Let’s get the latest from Victor Davis Hanson:

 

Canadians now boo at the mere sound of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” They brag of a new “elbows up” policy to stop U.S. “aggression.” Their social media is flooded with braggadocio about new ways to hurt Americans. Some three-quarters of the country has bought into Carney’s fantasies. Hating America is the new Canadian pastime.

 

But, sadly, this will not end well for Canada, for at least five reasons.

 

First, America certainly is not the cause of Canada’s maladies, other than by subsidizing its suicidal domestic choices for years. Canada’s self-destructive socialist and globalist policies are its government’s doing alone.

In 2024, Times White House correspondent Peter Baker wrote a “news analysis” nudging voters to pick the Democrats with the question “If a Felon Becomes President, Can Anyone Limit His Power?” In February, White House correspondent Katie Rogers offered a combative rebuttal to Trump’s State of the Union address under the headline “Casting Democrats as Villains, Trump Produces a Spectacle.”

ANALYSIS: Groups say grants should remain with ‘neutral’ NIH staffers – but nearly all support Democrats

Nearly all donations from National Institutes of Health employees went to Democratic candidates or aligned political action committees, a College Fix analysis found.

The findings come as higher education groups and other liberal advocacy organizations criticize the Trump administration for proposed changes to how research grants are distributed.

The proposed change would require grants to align with the political priorities of the administration in charge at the time. However, some groups argue that decisions should be made by ostensibly neutral bureaucrats, not a president’s political appointees.

Federal research grants, like those from the NIH, should use a “neutral program definition,” the Association of American Universities argued in a public comment. The new grant policy would “inject political and ideological considerations into decisions that have historically been based on scientific merit, programmatic objectives established by Congress, and agency expertise,” the group warned.

Yet across the board, NIH employees support Democrats. And that holds true for the supposedly neutral scientists and program managers who influence the grant decision-making process.

Obama Pushing to Make AI Doomerism a Centerpiece of Democrat Agenda– gellerreport.com

Barack Hussein Obama told Democrats: They badly need to grab hold of the debate over artificial intelligence and impeding its progress a central pillar of their agenda.

Of course he did. There is one infallible rule in 211st century American politics – anything the Democrats are behind and pushing, is disastrous for America. Every time.

Thus: The sudden pressing of the “panic” button by talking heads on the left. New York Times: Former President Barack Obama warned during a recent private fund-raising event that artificial intelligence technology could be “dangerous” if not properly managed, as he implored Democrats to aggressively develop political and governing agendas to prioritize the issue in the coming years. In his remarks on Thursday, which have not been previously reported, Mr. Obama urged Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the House minority leader, to assemble a clear framework for a public conversation about A.I. policy, should Democrats win back the House in the midterm elections, according to a partial transcript provided by Mr. Obama’s office (New York Times).

Politico adds: Obama said AI development would be “one of my central agendas” if he were running for president, throwing down a gauntlet as the shadow 2028 Democratic primary debate responded to the AI leaders’ calls (Politico).

Make no mistake, Communist China is not slowing down and they are making huge gain using American (much of it stolen) technology. Why would we deliberately handicap ourselves while Communist China races ahead, weaponizing artificial intelligence for military power, mass surveillance, cyberwarfare and global domination?

Did Liberal Justices Delay Dissents To Stop Trump’s Voting EO?– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Did the Supreme Court’s liberal justices slow-walk their dissents in litigation over President Trump’s mail-in voting order to run out the clock on its implementation for the 2026 midterms? That seems to be what Justice Samuel Alito subtly suggested in the court’s most recent ruling on the subject.

On Monday night, the high court rejected the Trump administration’s request to pause a lower court blockade on a new U.S. Postal Service rule. As described by Fox News, the new rule required election officials to “submit ballot-envelope designs for approval and upload voter information and unique tracking barcodes to a new USPS portal.”

The decision — which effectively bars the policy from taking effect for the fall elections — was presumably 7-2, with Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas saying they would have granted the government’s request for relief. Aside from Justice Brett Kavanaugh — who said the USPS rule seems lawful but denied the government’s request because it’s too close to the midterms for election officials to implement it — the majority offered little explanation for its decision.

Alito, on the other hand, penned a lengthy dissent (joined by Thomas) outlining several issues with the court’s holding. It was in this opinion that the Bush 43 appointee seemingly telegraphed some potentially nefarious shenanigans by the court’s Democrat appointees in the case.

The apparent hint came in the dissent’s concluding pages, in which Alito refuted the alleged concerns that the Democrat-led states challenging the Postal Service rule had regarding “the practical effects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elections.” While taking “that problem very seriously,” the justice highlighted two key points demonstrating why it isn’t enough to warrant rejecting the government’s request to implement the rule for the 2026 contests.

For years, neuroscientists have faced a paradox: the human brain is the most complicated organ known, yet also the most difficult to study directly. It is almost impossible to access living tissue, and even the most sophisticated lab-grown models cannot replicate the full richness of human neural circuits.

Stanford Medicine researchers have now achieved a breakthrough that extends the limits of neuroscience by successfully transferring human cortical organoids, that is, small groups of brain tissue that are able to self-organize, into mice that have been genetically engineered so as to lack most of their own cortex.

The result is a new type of hybrid animal, the xenocortical mouse, the brain cavity of which contains human neurons that have not only survived but have grown, joined into neural circuits, and even made connections with the mouse’s spinal cord. This achievement marks a new stage in the study of human brain development, disease, and possible therapies.

To their surprise, the mice had an important nerve cell type that researchers hadn’t previously seen in laboratory culture. Researchers have found it only in autopsied human brains.

France in chaos as angry fishermen launch blockade in fuel price fury | World | News– www.express.co.uk

EXCERPT:

Furious French fishermen have launched dramatic blockades across southern oil depots, bringing parts of the country to a standstill as fuel costs skyrocket to record levels. Demonstrators descended on the Frontignan oil depot near Sète on Wednesday morning (September 16), setting up barricades just 24 hours after a similar blockade at the Fos-sur-Mer oil terminal near Marseille.

Around 100 fishermen and supporters at Frontignan vowed to ramp up pressure on Paris, demanding urgent meetings with Fisheries Minister Catherine Chabaud and securing an immediate reduction in diesel prices. The industrial action comes as the nation faces historic fuel misery, driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Official figures show unleaded 95-E10 has surged to an average of €2.11 per litre – the highest price recorded since data collection began in 1985 – while diesel has climbed to €2.29, with some regions recording eye-watering prices of €2.80 per litre.

The coordinated protests have triggered panic at the pumps, with around 9% of service stations nationwide reporting shortages of at least one fuel type.

On top of fuel prices, fishermen have warned that their working conditions have deteriorated to a breaking point as sky-high operating costs are stripping away their livelihoods. Protesters reported they are struggling to keep afloat financially while navigating what they describe as a suffocating mountain of new administrative red tape and regulatory demands from both Paris and Brussels.

Tensions flared on Tuesday (September 15) when police stepped in to clear roughly 50 fishermen who had blocked 50 tanker trucks for around seven hours at Fos-sur-Mer, Bouches-du-Rhône, where protesters displayed banners reading: “Europe is killing us” and “The EU is sinking our boats and Paris is watching us”. The protest follows similar demonstrations on Monday in Sète and Port-Vendres, in Pyrénées-Orientales.

China’s New Defense Mobilization Law Prepares Chinese Civilians And Companies For War– wltreport.com

EXCERPT:

It appears China is preparing for war.

A new law enacted by China that will take effect in October will allow the Chinese government to easily transition into a wartime economy during a military conflict.

The new law will essentially allow the Chinese Armed Forces to have unfettered access to all companies and civilian resources in the time of a war.

The Military Times reported more on the move by China:

China’s armed forces will get every possible resource from the home front if needed during a war, according to a change in the law to take effect in October.

And its militarily less endowed neighbors such as Taiwan and the Philippines would bear the brunt of a fully kitted People’s Liberation Army, which the updated National Defense Mobilization Law says may draw from deep within the civilian population for resources, analysts say.

Australia, Japan and the United States also would note Beijing’s revised law as they’re most likely to become involved in any Taiwan “contingency” or conflict in the South China Sea, said Carl Thayer, an Asia specialist and emeritus professor at the University of New South Wales in Australia.

Australia, India and the United States have their own issues with Beijing, he added.

“In sum, in a future conflict, China will have immediate unfettered access to relevant civilian physical and human resources,” Thayer said. “This should be a clear wake-up call to defense planners in the Pentagon and (U.S.) Pacific Command.”

The 2010 law that had not been changed over the past six years was updated to give a legal definition of “national defense mobilization,” the Chinese state-controlled Global Times news outlet said on Sept. 8.

Per that definition, the term means that when national sovereignty, national unity, territorial integrity or development interests are “threatened,” Chinese “economic and social resources” can be shifted entirely toward defense, the Global Times said.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to pause a lower court blockade on Monday night against President Trump’s mail-in voting executive order ahead of the 2026 midterms. The vote was presumably 7-2, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting.

In its unsigned opinion, the high court rejected the Trump administration’s emergency application to stay a Sept. 4 decision by Massachusetts-based District Judge Indira Talwani. The Obama appointee and past Democrat donor issued a preliminary injunction blocking part of the U.S. Postal Service’s new policy that complies with the president’s mail-in voting order. The USPS rule “would require election officials to submit ballot-envelope designs for approval and upload voter information and unique tracking barcodes to a new USPS portal,” as described by Fox News.

The preliminary injunction replaced a temporary restraining order Talwani had issued against the new rule days prior. The Trump administration — which initially appealed the TRO to SCOTUS — withdrew its initial application over the TRO and filed a new one asking the high court to pause Talwani’s injunction.

The Supreme Court previously overturned a separate injunction by Talwani against Trump’s mail-in voting order last month. In a 6-3 ruling, the high court ruled that it was too soon for courts to consider the challenge brought by Democrat-led states and D.C. because the administration had yet to issue rules at that time, as required by the president’s edict.

Former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of concealing warnings ahead of the October 7 attack and laid ultimate responsibility for the deadly security failure on him.

Halutz was responding to a Haaretz report alleging that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed had warned Netanyahu about a major operation being planned by Hamas ten days before the incursion. Netanyahu reportedly downplayed the threat and did not alert Israel’s security chiefs.

Netanyahu’s office called the report an “absolute lie,” while the UAE neither confirmed nor denied the allegation.

In an interview aired by Israeli radio station 103FM on Sunday, Halutz said he believed the reported conversation had indeed occurred and claimed there were multiple indications that Netanyahu knew more than he disclosed.

“What could be simpler for the Emirati prince than to say there was no conversation if there was no conversation?… There are so many supporting reasons to understand that the man knew far more than he told those responsible for solving the problems afterward. Because he was incapable of solving the problems. He knew and concealed it,” Halutz said.

“I don’t know how to get inside the mind of this psychopath. What goes through his head? Only he knows,” he added when asked why Netanyahu had allegedly failed to act.

“Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

Financial websites report a New York company is offering “terminally ill patients ‘a good death’ for just under $12,000.”

Late last year, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced an agreement to enact legislation letting healthcare professionals prescribe lethal drugs via so-called “Medical Aid in Dying.” New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Act officially took effect on August 5.

That same day, a new company called Quiĕtus began offering assisted suicide in New York. Moneywise and Yahoo Finance write:

“Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die. …

“Quiĕtus was recently profiled by The New York Times. It’s made up of a group of nine doctors, nurses, psychologists and other clinicians. It has no dedicated office because it visits and treats patients in their home.

“Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”
