POLITICS 2024: CAN CONSERVATIVES HANDLE THE TRUTH?

From the days of Ronald Reagan to the stolen election of Donald Trump conservatives have always believed they are the “silent majority” or “moral majority.” Sadly, that isn’t true anymore and probably hasn’t been true for many decades. We have only barely won elections in the past because the majority of Americans (the poor, the aged, the lazy or addicted) don’t vote. But take away their welfare benefits, grants, student loans, or lavish pensions, and they will come out and vote with a passion. Conservatives, however, are under constant attack, so they are energized to vote and this motivation can sometimes even outvote the opposition as they did in 2016 when they sent Donald Trump to the White House. In doing so, they overcame the normal 10% of institutionalized Democrat vote fraud, of the old fashioned variety, which wasn’t enough to overcome the wave of opposition to the unpalatable Hillary Clinton. But those days are now over, thanks to the Covid “plandemic” that made mail-in ballots standard, and solidified the permanent system we have today that facilitates vote fraud, thanks to tabulation computers connected to the internet where votes can be manipulated at will. That combination, combined with the refusal of the courts to ensure only citizens vote, will continue to deny conservatives effective control over what remains of our constitutional republic—now turned into a raw democracy. This week, I’ll cover the reality of the Reagan and Trump administrations as well as my own recent foray into a run for the presidency.

Nolte: Far-Left Disney Lost $628 Million on Four Woke Flops

Breitbart

No one wanted to see The Marvels because it stars a scold and reeked of a feminist lecture. No one wanted to see Dial of Destiny because we all knew Disney would do to Indiana Jones what it did to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo: use a sexless girlboss to emasculate and shame him for being an old white guy. No one wanted to see Wish because Disney’s previous animated films, Strange World and Lightyear, were the equivalent of a guy without pants driving a van around an elementary school with FREE CANDY spray-painted on the side. No one wanted to see Haunted Mansion because it looked like affirmative action casting.

Data Centers Hiding In 'Spy Country' Northern Virginia Will Need Reactor's Worth Of Power

ZeroHedge

Since the beginning of the digital age, most of the world's internet data has flowed through massive data centers in Northern Virginia. The area is known as "Data Center Alley" because it's home to the world's largest concentration of data centers. Some call the area 'spy country' because of the number of data centers used by the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies. Given the exponential proliferation of smartphones, streaming services, smart devices, and now generative artificial intelligence, the power demanded by data centers in Northern Virginia will need nuclear reactors worth of power, if not much more, according to utility Dominion Energy.

A Low Sodium Diet May Be Stressing You Out

The Epoch Times

Salt is often vilified, and many physicians instruct their patients to adopt a low-sodium diet for health reasons. However, not consuming enough of it may interfere with the removal of cortisol from our bloodstream. Sodium helps flush the stress hormone from the body, and avoiding it may ultimately lead to chronically elevated blood cortisol levels. If left untreated, high cortisol levels can lead to a variety of bothersome symptoms and potentially serious complications. Most people are experiencing some symptoms of elevated or dysregulated cortisol from life stressors, and abstaining from salt may be exacerbating the situation.

The World Health Organization’s Pandemic Treaty Ignores Covid Policy Mistakes

Real Clear Wire

The World Health Organization is urging the U.S. and 193 other governments to commit next month to a new global treaty to prevent and manage future pandemics. Current estimates suggest over $31 billion per year will be needed to fund its obligations, a cost most lower income countries cannot afford. But that isn’t the only reason to oppose it. Validating this treaty is a vote for the disastrous policies of the Covid years. Rather than taking time for deep reflection and serious reform, those pushing the pandemic treaty are set on ignoring and institutionalizing the WHO’s mistakes.
