-Great Cultural Revolution
Oh No, Some Leftist Jerks Called Me a 'Hypocrite'
[TOWNHALL - It's Kurt] Does this amateur-hour manipulation ever work? Does the howling of libs that you are somehow morally inadequate in some way that one might think would matter to conservatives constitute an effective tool for compelling our social obedience? So, Hershel Walker got accused of funding an abortion a decade ago and I'm against abortions so when I mentioned on the Twitters that I did not care even if, in the off chance, this anonymous accusation was true, the memo went out...

"Kurt, you are a hypocrite and lack principles!"

Okay, and?

#1  It's because they themselves demand this level of purity from their own SJW ranks, and think that you should be the same as them.

Also Alinsky tactics. Demanding ridiculous behavior in order to bring down your movement.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Switzerland, Not USA, Is The 'Most Innovative' Country In The World
[ZERO] The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has released its 2022 Global Innovation Index. It evaluated innovation levels across 132 economies focusing on a long list of criteria such as human capital, institutions, technology and creative output as well as market and business sophistication, among others.

The 2022 index has found that innovation is still blossoming in some sectors despite the global economic slowdown and coronavirus pandemic, especially in industries to do with public health and the environment.

As Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, Switzerland topped the rankings with a score of 64.6 out of 100, the 12th time it has been named the world leader in innovation. The United States come second while the Sweden rounds off the top three.

#1  Intellectual Property is complete bullshit and bastards like WIPO are a plague on us dirt people. The time is long past when copying meant writers of sheet music didn't get paid. Now it's megabillion dollar corporations getting Youtubers banned for including a fair use clip from Lion King or a Nelly song.

#2  Credit Suisse sure seems to have some innovative accounting practices

#3  [Wiki]The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO; French: Organisation mondiale de la propriété intellectuelle (OMPI)) is one of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations (UN)...Headquarters Geneva, Switzerland...

So an organ of the UN (#1) based in (#2) Switzerland in the middle of the EU (#3) in a "totally independent and unbiased survey" announces that yet another EU nation is the pinnacle of human progress ...unexpectedly. Additionally in the country they have their headquarters, how absolutely precious.

#8  Switzerland is not where the innovations occur. It's where the paperwork is filed.

Thank you, Wipe-O. How helpful of you. Maybe the only reason China is a member.

Teambiden's Bizarre Dodges On Delaware Visitor Logs Make The President Look Guilty As Hell
[NYP] Why doesn’t the president want Americans to know who’s visiting him at his Delaware residences?

It’s increasingly clear that Biden has — or believes he has — something to hide: How else to explain the bizarre denial met by The Post in an appeal of its previously rebuffed Freedom of Information Act request to the Secret Service for relevant records?

The denial reiterated the frankly incredible claim that the agency simply doesn’t have any records of who’s come to see Biden in his home state —where he’s spent a quarter of his presidency so far.

Really? Nameless, faceless people are permitted to come and go at will from the home of the world’s most powerful man, with no paper trail created by the agency responsible for keeping him safe?

As Kentucky Rep. James Comer told The Post, “The claim that there are no visitor logs for President Biden’s Delaware residence is a bunch of malarkey.” Indeed, Congressional Republicans — mustered by New York’s own Elise Stefanik — are now crying foul and demanding a release.

They’re right to. We know that Joe took meetings with Hunter Biden’s shady business associates as vice president. And the heat’s been on Hunter (and by extension Joe, aka the “big guy”) for years, with the promise of more to come if the GOP is victorious in the midterms.

If there’s nothing illicit going on, Biden has zero to lose and everything to gain by coming clean.

#5  He is ashamed of the amount of Doordash deliveries.

#6  Agree with yesterday, nobody is there to wheel and deal.

I'd go with very, very specific medical specialists.

Lawyers and liaisons updating and assuring Big Guy, Inc. is running appropriately, updates on Hunter's current issues.

#7  Given that the demokrats are masters of language and "lying with partial truth" I suspect the definition of "visitor" vs "staff", people who are already there when Jojo arrives, and "responsive" records excluding those that are "classified" for an array of questionable justifications, like medical professionals and technicians.

Dystopian future? Billboards in SPACE could beam advertisements to Earth - but it would require a 'constellation' of 50 small satellites and cost $65M

#1  You could have a message visible for a few minutes in a clear night sky for a $75M investment or you could paint a more lasting image with a spray can of photo luminescent paint on the side of an overpass for the cost of a public nuisance citation.

#3  Years ago something similar was going to be tried with a barium cloud created by a rocket and then painted with lasers from Earth. The USSR violently objected so the launch of the barium cloud was canceled.
