BIDEN ALLOWED MAJOR DONOR TO HAND ADVANCED MILITARY TECH TO CHINA
“When I was in another State they would slip and say ‘now I want to introduce the Senator from DuPont–I mean Delaware’”, Joe Biden had joked at a Senate Subcommittee on Crime session.
There’s a certain truth to the joke. DuPont is the corporation that defines Biden’s career. His first Senate bid was staffed with DuPont employees, including future chief-of-staff and senator Ted Kaufman, who was conveniently allowed to take a “leave of absence” from DuPont to help elect Biden. Biden celebrated his victory at the Hotel DuPont and bought a former DuPont mansion.
DuPont figures in a lot of Biden’s stories. He even claims to have gotten on board with gay marriage when his father showed him a gay couple kissing at DuPont. And Biden figures in the latest DuPont story which involves handing over advanced military technology to China.
Last year, DuPont sold off its biomaterials unit to the Huafon Group of China. Huafon, a massive chemical and finance organization,

Free speech today is under assault from the Left everywhere and all the time.
You already know about the federal government’s pervasive Censorship Industrial Complex, pressuring all the big social media companies to suppress what they deem “misinformation” about any subject important to the current dominant political narrative (Covid-19, climate change, etc.). And you already know about ex-President Trump getting indicted by both federal and Georgia prosecutors for saying the same things about the 2020 election that Al Gore said about the 2000 election and Hillary Clinton said about the 2016 election and Stacey Abrams said about the 2018 election.
But how about the Left using its widespread control of social institutions to silence dissent. Today, this is literally everywhere. Here are a couple of notable examples for today — both, as it happens, from outside the U.S.:
Alimonte, et al., paper in European Physical Journal Plus
If you wonder why the climate alarm narrative seems so completely to dominate public discussion (even though it is utter nonsense), then you need to understand that there is an orthodoxy enforcement police operating behind the scenes. Most of the time the operation of this orthodoxy enforcement mechanism is invisible to the general public. Climate skeptics can’t get jobs in academia, and go into other careers; when skeptical papers write papers, they get rejected, and are never heard from again. But every once in a while something happens to bring aspects of the orthodoxy enforcement mechanism momentarily into the open. That has recently occurred with respect to a paper published in a European scientific journal in early 2022.

“Gotcha” Media Fact Checks on DeSantis Debate Abortion Story Fail To Get Him
During Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate, the subject of abortion was brought up in the questionable context of how it had allegedly “been a losing issue” for the GOP ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June of 2022.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was asked about the six-week abortion ban he signed into law in April and how he had one big “financial backer” who has suggested he move to the middle on the issue to attract moderates.
“What do you say to him and others who say, politically, that is a tough thing to sell nationally?” DeSantis was asked by Fox News anchor and co-debate moderator Bret Baier.

Salon Wonders: What The Hell Country Is This?
I’m sure it looks “weird” from Heather’s left-coast Santa Monica view. In all honesty, did she think it was “weird” at all when the governor of her state went out for a fancy dinner whilst telling everyone else to lock down? Did she think it was “weird” when the same governor of her state allowed for the ease of child trafficking? How’s about things getting “weird” with all of the fentanyl coming across the southern border through Tijuana? Can’t be bothered to count all of that as “weird”, now, can we?
Heather drones on about the GOP Debates. Never did she ever think she would hear such “chilling” things from Ron DeSantis about “invading Mexico and summarily executing people ‘stone cold dead’ along the border”.

Why Have Billionaires Bought Up Thousands of Acres of Land Around Travis Air Force Base?
Since 2017, a shadowy Silicon Valley company has bought up 52,000 acres of farmland around Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, Calif., totaling about $800 million.
Flannery Associates is a company run by Jan Sramek, a 36-year-old former Goldman Sachs trader. Beyond that, nothing much is known of the company except that some of the most famous names in Silicon Valley have invested in a project being promoted by Flannery. Some backers include Marc Andreessen, Powell Jobs, Michael Moritz of Sequoia Capital, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, and others, according to the report.
The entire Air Force base is now encircled by land owned by Flannery. This caught the attention of the Department of Defense, who have since been investigating. According to the New York Times, in 2017, Flannery was trying to sell an idea to build an entire city — walkable and green. Its proximity to San Francisco suggests that the new city would be an escape hatch for those who are finding San Francisco unlivable. But others aren’t so sure.
