Pedophile FBI agents
AUGUST 31, 2022
On August 24, an FBI employee was arrested at his home in Stansbury Park, Utah, and booked into the Tooele County jail on four counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child. Robert Alexander Smith was also charged with four misdemeanor counts of lewdness involving a child and two misdemeanor counts of lewdness.
Court documents indicated that the FBI employee was arrested after a young girl reported to her mother on June 8 that Smith had touched her sexually on a number of occasions in 2020.
The mother reportedly also asked her 17-year-old stepdaughter, 14-year-old daughter, 14-year-old stepdaughter, and 12-year-old daughter whether they too had experienced "very uncomfortable" encounters with Smith, all of whom first responded by crying.

EU Fails To Agree On Travel Ban For Russians As Leaders Chafe Over Bloc's 'Unanimity Rule'
A European Union meeting of foreign and defense ministers this week has failed to agree on a bloc-wide visa ban for Russians, after Poland, Finland, as well as Baltic countries pushed for a blanket ban on all entrances for Russian nationals - whether for tourism or business. Ukraine's President Zelensky has been lobbying European capitals to move through with the ban, even if just on individual country levels.
Proponents cast allowance of Russian travel within the EU as some kind of reward: "There must be more restrictions on travel for Russian citizens," Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks said. "We cannot simply give bonuses to people which are supporting such presidents as Putin," he told reporters in Prague, where the EU meeting is taking place. But coming out of Wednesday's meeting Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto was the first to announce that the policy measure has failed to gain necessary unity, after those who opposed were led chiefly by Hungary and Germany. EU leaders did still, however, tried to spin this as a "win":
- EU'S BORRELL: EU MEMBERS POLITICALLY AGREE TO FULLY SUSPEND FACILITATION AGREEMENT FOR RUSSIAN VISAS
- EU WON'T RECOGNIZE PASSPORTS ISSUED BY RUSSIA IN OCCUPIED AREAS

The 'trans' movement is unscientific
Dr. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, director emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1995. As a biologist, she has long studied DNA, biochemistry, and embryonic development. On August 22, Emma, Germany's leading feminist magazine, published Chantal Louis' interview with Nüsslein-Volhard, in which the biologist both attacked core claims advanced by trans activists and criticized their anti-scientific basis.
Suggesting that an ignorance of basic biology may be to blame for the "unscientific" claim that there are many genders, Nüsslein-Volhard noted (in German; the following is a Google translation) that "all mammals have two sexes. There's the one sex that produces the eggs [and] has two X chromosomes. That's called female. And there's the other one that makes the sperm [and] has an X and a Y chromosome. That's called male."

AUGUST 29, 2022
Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot at least twice in an attempted carjacking Sunday in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department said.
Robinson, 23, was assaulted on H Street NE by two teenage gunmen who wanted to steal his car, a white Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, according to Chief of Police Robert Contee.
“At some point during the course of this robbery attempt, our victim in this case began to struggle with one of the suspects, was able to actually wrestle that firearm away from one of the suspects. And he was shot twice by the second suspect,” Contee told reporters Monday.
How intrusive should the government be? Do criminals go to gun stores to buy weapons
New York lawmakers believe they have found a way to reduce firearm trafficking and mass shootings. Approximately 50 legislators penned a letter to Mastercard and American Express, requesting that the companies flag purchases made at gun stores.
Democratic state Senator Zellnor Myrie shared the letter with Gothamistand spoke about leading the effort. Myrie explained that he believed the public would agree with the lawmakers' request.
While credit card companies do not track specific items purchased, they do use merchant category codes designated by retailer type. Mastercard's quick reference booklet notes that purchases made at a gun store fall under the "miscellaneous" or "durable goods" retailer codes. Those two MCCs also include vendors of gas lighting fixtures, musical instruments, fireworks, party supplies, and luggage, to name a few.

A Florida man went viral after he posted a car dealership quote showing it would cost nearly $30,000 to replace the battery in his electric vehicle.
Rob O'Donnell posted the quote, obtained from Roger Dean Chevrolet in Cape Coral, on Twitter last week. The quote includes the cost of the battery (nearly $27,000), the cost of labor ($1,200), and taxes for the repair (more than $1,700).
In total, it would cost O'Donnell $29,842.15 to replace the battery in his 2012 Chevrolet Volt. The car itself is worth far less.
"Bet that Chevy Volt sounded like a good idea at first," O'Donnell quipped.
The absurd cost led many social media users to question the authenticity of the quote. But the car dealership has confirmed it is legitimate.
"This is an estimate for a 12 year old vehicle out of warranty and for a battery that is extremely hard to get, due to the older technology of the 12 year old vehicle. The dealership does not set battery prices," the dealership explained on Facebook.
More then small business will be killed off
Some small businesses in Europe are posting their skyrocketing electricity bills to social media as the worsening energy crisis threatens to cripple their economies.
"My mum owns a small café in Leicester. Her electricity bill has just jumped from £10k ($12k) a year to £55k ($64k) a year," claimed one Twitter user.
"She is working out her options but more than likely she will be forced to close," he added.CARLOS GARCIA
